Chapter 360 – #54. 2 Years (4)
It wasn’t until late at night that Bok-soon noona came home from work.
“Kyaaak! How are our babies?”
“Welcome. Did you have dinner?”
“Yeah, I ate. I’ll wash up! Uh? Was Haesol there too?”
“Yes. Today’s concert is over.”
“You went through a lot of hardships~ on the other side!”
“Have you been drinking?”
“A little bit?”
A student who goes to an academy joined the agency this time, and he was delighted to be in the debut group, so he had a dinner with the teachers.
There was a reason I came home at a time over 10 o’clock, almost 11 o’clock.
In fact, if it wasn’t for her Jihyun, she would have been enjoying the dinner until dawn.
Bok-soon noona came out after washing cleanly, and Ji-hyeon and Hyeon-o were in a frenzy to beautify each other.
“It’s been a while…”
She took a nap, but closer to 11 o’clock was when the baby was supposed to sleep.
Brilliant!
“I just woke up, but the kids can’t sleep.”
However, the eyes of Ji-hyeon and Hyeon-oh woke up when Bok-soon noona came in.
“Are you okay! I will sleep!”
“You were drunk. What are you doing anyway? I’ll put you to bed, so don’t worry and play.”
Anyway, there was a ‘rattle’, an item for sleeping babies, so there was no problem putting the child to sleep.
After getting her permission, Bok-soon noona becomes high-tension and plays with her babies.
Sister Yeon Jo sneaked up to her and together with sister Bok Soon played with her babies with still awkward gestures.
‘It’s an unimaginable sight.’
When people in the company see that appearance, things that can’t help but be astonished often happen when a baby is born.
The ‘my house’ I dreamed of was not perfectly completed, but that was the scene I was hoping for.
A warm home with my children and a loving wife.
“You must be tired too.”
“I will take the babies.”
“Huh.”
When I entered the room because I thought it was quiet, I found older sisters Bok-soon and Yeon-joo, who had been playing with the babies, asleep soundly on the bed.
Yeon Joo must have been very nervous because she went to work as the president after a long time, and had to take a plane to visit the concert venue as soon as work was over after stopping by the company.
It was only natural for her to fall asleep because she was tired, and since Bok-soon noona had a party and drank, it was only natural for her to fall asleep.
I sat down on the bed and watched the two of them sleeping peacefully.
“Jihyun and Hyeono did a great job.”
I had no idea that these two would be the first women to come and live in our house.
Noona Joo-a and Noona Min-young, who expected to be the first to enter the house, couldn’t change the house without thinking because they were in a position to care about others’ eyes.
It’s difficult to explain to a manager at an agency who doesn’t know about us.
The first change came when Kanna started raising her children.
‘This place is spacious and has good facilities, so it’s perfect for raising children.’
It was the first time that Kanna said she wanted to do something, and she wanted to learn something that would help me too, and her house was full of things she bought for Taeyang and naturally put in storage when she was growing up.
As such a full-fledged parenting board unfolded at home, naturally, my mother, sister Bok-soon and sister Yeon-joo, came to visit our house frequently.
As time passed, their belongings began to pile up in the house little by little, and the room that used to emit cool air was warm.
Side, side!
He kissed the two girls on the forehead and closed the door.

After the big event of the concert, we were given a lot of free time.
It gave the members who worked hard a break.
Instead of going back to Korea right away, the kids stayed abroad and visited places they hadn’t been to before.
Especially I was very popular with the kids.
It wasn’t because he liked me as a ‘human’ person, but because he knew my unique constitution.
“Are you having fun?”
“It’s a total fucking jam!”
I have a peculiar constitution that people don’t recognize me when I’m around.
My constitution was essential to the kids in order to enjoy the trip peacefully for us, where the paparazzi are no longer the business of others.
In a situation where the crime rate against men is gradually increasing, overseas travel was not easy to enjoy.
That’s why he genuinely enjoys traveling when there are as many as 6 male idols?
‘It would be impossible if it wasn’t for me.’
You open your eyes and cut your nose, but you don’t know who cut it.
So the kids always took me with them.
Even when we were traveling, we huddled together and didn’t leave the group prematurely.
It’s because I’ve been using my constitution for many years, and I know that there are cases where it doesn’t apply depending on the distance.
“I’m hungry, let’s go eat.”
“The time is already like this.”
“Do you want to eat at the hotel? I have something else to do.”
“So what? Hyung, thank you for today!”
“That’s right. Thanks to you, I really enjoyed it.”
They let me go more easily than I thought, probably thinking that they would drag me around again tomorrow.
After confirming that the children arrived safely at the hotel, I used the item to move.
“President!”
The place I arrived at was Lanna’s house.
“How have you been doing?”
“I was so busy that I didn’t even notice the time passing. How have you been, boss? I heard you were very busy with work. I think I may have lost some weight…”
“Still, the big contract ended, so the time has become a bit loose. But Lanna-san is also very busy, right? I heard that the 5th store was successfully established.”
“Yes. I’m not sure if it’s because of the good location or because it’s open, but the response from her was better than when she opened the 4th store. You don’t know how much she shuddered. Do you feel really good when things go well?”
.
It seems like just yesterday that I was hoping for even just one store to open, but the 5th store has already successfully opened.
When she first opened her second store, she said she would never do it again.
If you ask how it was possible to expand this fast even though it’s only been 2 years, it’s because Lanna was amazing.
‘Of course, the investment money I’m willing to throw also played a role.’
I have money, what can I do?
In fact, even though the money is being invested indefinitely, franchising was never an easy task.
‘Success is even more difficult.’
The reason she was able to open her 5th store in 2 years was thanks to her having the know-how from opening her 2nd store, and working on the 3rd and 4th stores at once.
It was difficult for her to make up her mind, but since she made up her mind, she was a Lanna who was good at pushing ahead.
“Does he seem satisfied?”
“It seems like you’re satisfied, but how can I know what’s inside people? Still, she showed the 3rd and 4th stores first, so she didn’t show a clumsy look.”
“I should have helped you, I’m sorry.”
“No. You were busy with a big contract. And in the first place, this is something I have to take responsibility for and do. Your investment was enough.”
The reason why the success of the 5th store is of great significance is that Lanna did not open the store herself, but rather, it was a store opened because someone else wanted to start a franchise business.
I heard that she was more concerned about the 5th store and worried a lot.
“I think she really learned a lot while preparing for the 5th store. And… !”
“?”
She was about to say something, but Lanna suddenly shut her mouth.
“Why don’t you stop talking? Please speak comfortably. What’s going on?”
“Uh… She made a mistake I didn’t mean to say it right now, so I jumped out in excitement without realizing it.”
“Isn’t that what you were trying to say to me anyway? Just tell me now I wondered what was going on.”
She hesitated for a long time, and then she took her lips with difficulty.
“I didn’t want to say it this way. She was going to say it after something worked out…”
“Result? Oh, do you need an investment?”
She had guessed that it might be a money problem since she said she had something to say.
As the investment money she had given to her metallurgical metallurgy gathered and gathered, it became quite a large amount of money.
Just as the money for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th stores did not come from digging the ground, they were all things I was able to start by investing.
However, additional investment money was invested while suddenly preparing for the 5th store, which was not planned this time.
There was still not enough time for the money I invested to return to profit.
In such a situation, I would have been embarrassed to bring up the topic of investment money again.
“Actually, after the 5th store, a few people put in requests to start a business.”
“Oh! Congratulation. Good for you.”
“To help them start a business, I have to jump into the franchise business in earnest, but as soon as I looked into it, it cost more than I imagined.”
“I am in favor. Seeing her succeed in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th stores, I thought that Mr. Lanna had talent in that area.”
If you have money, why waste your talent?
Furthermore, Lanna was also showing enthusiasm for the franchise business.
Until now, I used to decline, saying that I was afraid to make things too big, but wasn’t it enough to bring up the topic of investment first?
After the successful opening of the 5th store, it seems that confidence has increased.
“The bosses of partner companies also want me to clearly set the route.”
“Do. There’s no reason not to. If Lanna-san makes a clear decision, others will expand their business, right?”
Where can a cafe sell only coffee?
The geography of the store is important, but the type of dessert sold also plays an important role in sales.
If she was going to do a franchise business, they would definitely need their help, and the boss of her partner company seemed to be getting greedy as well.
“Yes. Maybe so. They are also very motivated.”
With the opening of the 5th store, I got a taste of the money, so it’s worth going back.
It is clear that if you start a franchise in earnest, you will be able to make more money.
“Then let’s get serious about it. What’s the matter? It’s been going well so far. If they need money, tell me. I’ll invest. Even though it is a cooperative company, having some stake in it would be good for later.”
“… Did you do that? Are you really okay? When you start in earnest, the unit of money that goes in will be different.”
“Don’t worry, I can handle that much. It’s going well, so why are you being so timid? It’s okay to ask for it proudly.”
When the company does well, I benefit.
She also owns a stake in the company, but she has a larger stake in me than I paid for the investment.
“I have no face because I only took it and didn’t give it back properly.”
“How can investing pay off in a day or two? I’m not someone who doesn’t know that much.”
“It’s because I’m not used to it. It is scary to see the unit of money being spent change. I don’t know if I can expand my work and take responsibility like this.”
Before working with me, Lanna was an ordinary college student.
After meeting me, I came to live a very different life, and it seemed that it was not easy to admit and accept the sudden change.
“Lanna will do just fine. She’s still doing well. And if there’s a problem that’s too much for her to handle, she turns to me. She wants to be a reliable person for Mr. Lanna, she is not invested to be a burden.”
“… She treats me so well that I don’t know what to do. I’m not even a great person.”
She reached out and took Lanna-san into her arms.
“Why isn’t Lanna a great person? She is precious and great to me.”
“It is more so because she only accepts because she is a lover. What if I take an investment and go bankrupt? I’m more anxious because things have been going so well so far.”
The fact that there were no failures seemed to frighten Lanna-san even more.
I know very well how she feels.
Our group has been victorious from the beginning, and has made great achievements overseas as well.
However, like the profession of a celebrity, there was a possibility that the group would fall into abyss due to some unknown problem.
