Chapter 372 – #56. The Tiger in the Tiger’s Den (4)
I’ve never thought that there’s someone else I can talk to on a regular basis.
However, this time I met a somewhat unusual woman named Choi Kwan, and I think I had that thought for the first time.
‘You talk too little. And no matter how hard I try to talk, the conversation doesn’t last long.’
You need Tikataka to talk.
If I speak, the other person comes next, and if the other person speaks, you are next.
Isn’t it the basic point of conversation to go back and forth and exchange words like that?
However, Mr. Choi says that when she answers, she doesn’t give her room to move on to the next story.
When I ask a question, she gives the answer first.
When a normal person is asked about a, wouldn’t she answer the question by telling a richer story, starting with the story related to a, rather than answering right away?
However, the only thing that came out of Mr. Choi’s mouth was the ‘conclusion’.
‘What kind of food do you like?’
‘I like seafood.’
‘Seafood is sushi or sashimi?’
‘I like both sushi and sashimi.’
‘There is a store I know that serves fresh sashimi well. Would you like to go there next time?’
‘No.’
‘… It’s really good there, why?’
‘There are places to go in my personal time, so I don’t have time.’
Tired of most of these flat-out rejections or straight answers, I began to think that I might not be able to seduce this woman.
‘It doesn’t fit my personality. Should I give up like this?’
Even my greatest strength, my beauty, didn’t seem to work very well for Mr. Choi.
In fact, she couldn’t imagine that Mr. Choi would show a haggard look at her manly appearance.
One day when sluggish days flowed.
An incident occurred that changed my opinion of Choi Kwan 180 degrees.
That day was the day she was invited to stand on a big overseas stage.
She stood on the stage safely without any major sound mistakes, and the unexpected situation happened at that time.
“Kyaaak!”
“Stop, stop!”
“Uh, uh uh?”
The unexpected situation was the audience who suddenly broke into the stage.
The audience, who was quite large, rushed towards me in an instant, and at that moment, someone waiting under the stage almost flew and snatched the audience.
Buzz buzz~!
It wasn’t like there was something in the hands of the intruder, but it was something that could happen, so I was very grateful to Mr. Choi who snatched the intruder.
Furthermore, if this happens once, isn’t it something that could cause trauma to the members?
I’m taking care of her as much as possible, but I couldn’t go around checking her undisclosed inner thoughts.
“Aagh! Sorry! Help me!”
“I’m going to drag you out first.”
Choi Kwan dragged the screaming intruders with his hands and moved them off the stage.
“Brother, what should I do?”
The staff motioned for us to come down, but unexpectedly the members hesitated instead of going down the stage.
It was because the audience who were watching our stage were booing with regret.
I know it’s not a booing at us, but I couldn’t take my steps because I felt sorry for the stage.
“Let’s go downstairs and see the situation.”
“Yes.”
Right now, both the stage and the audience were in a commotion, so it seemed like it would take some time for things to be sorted out.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes. Are you okay.”
“We weren’t hurt at all because Constable Choi stopped us.”
“What happened to that person?”
“I moved to another place. I’m really glad. Hearing that, he was so excited and impulsive out of fan spirit. Don’t worry too much. I didn’t run to harm you.”
“Yes.”
“But what about our stage?”
“Is this the end?”
When we brought up the topic of the stage, the staff expressed disapproval as if they were embarrassed.
It seemed like they weren’t sure if it was right to have us on stage again or if it was better to end the stage like this.
“Manager, what do you want to do?”
“How surprised the members are to set the stage? It was our staff who rectified the unexpected situation.”
Manager noona, of course, objected to what the staff said.
All she had to do was protect her members, so it was her natural attitude.
But we were so sorry that we couldn’t finish the stage.
“We are not shocked. It’s true that I was taken aback for a moment, but Choi Kyung-howon helped me in advance so I didn’t even come close.”
“Are you guys going to stage?”
“Want to do. The audience is also very sorry.”
As I was listening to the members, I thought that there was one thing I needed to clarify at this point.
“Instead, I hope the staff will make sure to protect the area around the stage so that the same thing doesn’t happen again.”
“Muh, of course!”
It was a good thing for the staff to have us perform, so they accepted my words very willingly.
He didn’t just say that, he called the staff and showed them how to stand by clearly blocking the way to go up on stage.
“You guys don’t have to force yourself to do that.”
“It’s because we’re sorry.”
“Are you really going to be okay? If you say you were scared later, you will be scolded.”
“It’s really okay. You guys aren’t okay, but has anyone said you’re okay?”
“No!”
“I’m really fine too.”
“I want to go on stage! If I go back like this, I won’t be able to sleep. How many hours did it take to get here?”
Because the land mass is overseas, it took a lot of time despite traveling by plane.
There’s time it took to come here, but you can’t even perform on stage and go back to something unpleasant?
We feel sorry for the fans who came to see us, and it was something we ourselves couldn’t understand.
In the end, the manager noona gave permission and went on stage again with the active cooperation of the staff.
Clap clap clap clap!
Applause erupted from the audience as if they noticed that we had decided to perform again.
We bowed our heads at 90 degrees to express our gratitude to the audience who had been waiting for us, and stood on stage again.
Our music started playing on stage again.
♧ ♧ ♧
The work that day produced a heartwarming article.
There was an article praising the professionalism of young people from abroad.
It was a great article that did not forget to express regret for the audience who intruded on the stage and pointed out the need for mature audience manners.
As if we couldn’t say anything because we had heard the praise, the company ended it by telling us to worry about not trying to do too much work in moderation.
The audience who intruded on the stage was expected to be punished by the law quite harshly.
In particular, he said that the officials from that side, who almost got into a big scandal, would demand compensation for damages.
I heard that they made a mistake because they liked us so much, so I sympathized with the unfortunate thing that happened to the fans, but reminded them once again that extreme fans are not fans.
And.
“Thanks to the bodyguard, I was able to avoid a big problem. Thank you so much.”
“I just did what I had to do.”
Great attention was paid to Choi Kwan, who blocked the audience from invading the stage with great agility.
“It was to the extent that I mistook it for a moment. How could you move so fast? You are so amazing!”
No matter how much a bodyguard is, it is a human being who is bound to panic when an unexpected situation occurs.
She is not the only bodyguard for her, but at the time, she was the first to move and solve the problem in an unexpected situation.
“I heard that it was a special greeting from the boss, but I guess I really didn’t bring it for nothing.”
“Really? Was Choi Kyung-ho-won the person the boss hired?”
As Choi Gwan-ssi became a hot topic again that Yeon-ju sister had put her in, her sister’s competence was once again shown off.
And thanks to this job, I was able to seize the opportunity to get to know Choi Kwan.
Seeing as if the attention she was pouring around her was a little burdensome, I went to find her, who had sneaked away to her deserted place.
“Ah… To smoke a little bit.”
When I appeared, Mr. Choi Gwan was smoking a cigarette, and she panicked and tried to put it out.
“Don’t turn it off. You can smoke it. If she doesn’t get in the way, can she stay by her side?”
“Yes, it’s fine. Then I will smoke one quickly.”
Surprisingly, I received the permission easily, and I eagerly watched Mr. Choi Kwan squatting and smoking a cigarette.
‘It’s sexy.’
Pale skin, exceptionally black hair, thick eyebrows and red, thick lips.
His gaze slowly descended, and the long white cigarette between his lips robbed my gaze at once.
My stare staring at her might be burdensome, but she didn’t blink an eye, and she calmly smoked her cigarette while looking at me.
“Why are you staring at me so intently?”
It was Mr. Choi Kwan who broke the strange silence where only the sound of smoking was heard.
I thought that there was no inspiration because she remained calm while receiving my gaze, but it seems that was not the case.
“She came in here to say thank you.”
“It’s okay.”
Mr. Choi’s face was slightly tired.
It’s great from all sides, I said thank you, so it’s worth it.
“I was saved, but I have to say thank you in the manner of a human being. Thanks to her, she was able to get through it without making a big deal out of it.”
“Stop it. Enough.”
“Yes. I won’t say any more.”
As if satisfied with my handing over, Mr. Choi concentrated on smoking her cigarette again.
“You disappeared right after work. Are you going to your mother-in-law?”
“No.”
“So what?”
I thought she went to her mother-in-law, of course, but surprisingly it wasn’t.
“While I’m away, I’m checking to see if there are any problems with my nephew’s security.”
“It’s okay if you don’t.”
I don’t even go home anyway.
Taking a boy outside is dangerous even with items.
Instead, they decorate the yard outside the house with flowers.
A light walk is possible.
“You have to check every day.”
“Then is it all about checking that?”
There is quite a bit of time left for that.
She said hesitantly, perhaps feeling a bit embarrassed by your continued question.
“Boss… We also check the safety of yours.”
“Ah~ Are you really worried about your mother-in-law? I heard you haven’t been away from my side for a long time.”
“It is because I am lacking. The boss says you’re okay…”
“I don’t think my mother-in-law said anything because she was really okay. You may not know where you originally were, but you know where you are.”
Choi Gwan-ssi’s eyes twinkled for a moment.
“Is it really so? I didn’t adapt well. Even though I know I have to show a trustworthy side… Since there is no boss, she is trying hard with the idea that she should do better, but I don’t know if she is doing well.”
It was now that I saw her speak at length for the first time, having maintained her short answers in all her conversations.
Her eyes were full of her trust and affection for her mother-in-law.
And she seems to have realized this very moment.
That I underestimated her too much.
Her affection for her mother-in-law was unusual.
I knew she thought of me like her biological parents, but she didn’t seem so lighthearted and positively emotional.
‘Looks like I’m obsessed with something.’
This was the first time she’d seen a meaningful reaction from her, so she decided to poke some more.
“May I ask how you got involved with her mother-in-law? In fact, the first time she saw her, she thought Choi Kwan was the younger sister Yeon-joon had talked about.”
“I-I mean? The second lady doesn’t come home often.”
I knew what she was saying that she couldn’t bear to say.
It is said that Yeon-joo’s younger sister had a big accident due to a male problem, so she was kicked out of the house.
Still, she thought it was worth it for her sister-in-law to come because that day was the first day she took Hyeon-oh home.
Of course, it was a brief misunderstanding when I first saw her, and I quickly noticed by the attitude she showed that she wasn’t her sister-in-law.
‘I thought she was a sister-in-law with a reputation for being an idiot, but she’s not offended at all.’
