Chapter 399 – #59. Junior Siae (3)
The reason Yeon Yeon-nim asked us to go on a trip together this time seemed to be because of her appreciation for me.
I was very happy and grateful that he made such an offer even though it was obviously not in line with his inclination.
And since I received this offer after a long time, I wanted to make it so that memories of how fun it was were left behind.
Of course, I had to finish the stage successfully before that.
“Senior, you look good!”
“Huh. Haha. Something good is going to happen.”
“Can I ask what good things are?”
A junior ahead of the stage and I were talking about this and that in the waiting room to relax.
Shi-ae asked why I seemed to be in a good mood, and after thinking about it, she said that this would be okay.
“I decided to go on a trip with my friends after this program.”
“Wow! Travel! I’m sure you’ll be very happy!”
Shi-ae showed a huge reaction and made her fuss.
“Are you traveling abroad? Or camping?”
“Well, I haven’t decided on that yet. Still, it’s good to go anywhere. I don’t think camping would be bad either.”
“If you worked hard, you should leave!! Actually, I love to travel too. Rather than a burdensome trip that just goes very far, it’s a camping that you can lightly go on a weekend.”
“Camping is good.”
“That’s right! Camping is great. When I go camping, my stress melts away. Actually, my mom is a camper. When I was young, I was annoyed because I was forced to drag them around even if I didn’t like them, but now I’m rather grateful. Having a hobby that can relieve stress is really important.”
Having a hobby that can relieve stress is really important for people like us who have a lot of stress.
It was not once or twice that stars committed suicide due to depression, so it was necessary to manage mental stress very carefully.
In my case, I was able to use items to get rid of people’s attention, so I didn’t get stressed out.
“Oh, by the way, would you like some candy?”
“Candy?”
“It will relieve tension, refresh your mouth, and help your throat health. If your condition improves, your stress will decrease, right?”
“… Didn’t you just say you were giving me candy?”
“Huh. It’s candy.”
They seem to be taken aback when I say something nonsense.
According to common sense, how could candy made of sugar not have such a panacea effect?
But this candy really had that ability.
Thanks to that, even our members would fall for it if I offered to give them just this candy.
“Have you been deceived? Try it. Will you give me something I can’t eat?”
“… Can you choose the flavor?”
As if Shi-ae would rebel (?) In her own way, she said that she would choose the taste.
I said giggling.
“Yes, yes. I’ll pick you up. What flavor would you like it to be?”
“Uh… I like strawberry flavor!”
“Now, this is strawberry flavor.”
Shi-ae took a look at the candy and popped it into her mouth.
“Uh? It is delicious!”
“Right? Originally, they say that things that are bad for the body are delicious, but this is good for the body, but it is also delicious.”
Si-ae, who laughed as if she had heard a funny joke, focused on eating candy.
Then she suddenly tilted her head and grabbed her neck.
“Uh… Seniors?”
“Huh?”
“I think my neck is a bit strange. What should I say, this?”
“Does your throat feel cold?”
“Yes! But this doesn’t taste like mint…”
“It doesn’t feel the same as when I ate mint. I told you. It’s good for your neck. Eat everything and clear your throat.”
“Are you serious?”
Seeing her still doubtful, he shrugs her shoulders and starts munching hard on the candy, as if the boy is really going to give it a try.
Then, soon after, there was a loud sound.
“Are you biting? Are your teeth okay?”
Well, since you’re still young, isn’t it time to worry about your teeth?
Si-ae, who bravely ate all the candies, is great! He cleared his throat and began to open his mouth.
There may be people who look at the singer clearing his throat in a very strange way, but there are many people who see it as a funny look or a bad look.
It’s because there were a lot of funny things that singers spit out to clear their throats.
However, from the standpoint of a singer who clears his throat, the more serious moment than ever is right now.
“Huh?”
Isn’t it enough to sing a song once?
You have to take good care of it to keep your voice for a long time.
In addition, it is possible to check what my neck condition is today at this moment.
Whether your neck condition is good or bad today.
“Seniors!! That candy must really work!!”
Xia’s eyes widened.
I dropped my pretense and said.
“Huh? Really?”
“Kid! That’s what your senior said. It’s candy that’s good for your throat!”
Haha, did you really believe that? Of course it was a joke.”
“No. The treble rises too easily. Does it feel like your throat has been pierced?”
“I don’t know. That’s what you usually call me.”
When I didn’t know, Si-ae stomped her feet as if she was frustrated.
“Sing our song once. I’ve heard it often, so I’m sure you’ll feel it when you sing it.”
“Yes! I will call you once.”
It’s a song that needs to be sung on stage soon.
A high pitch that stretches out more clearly than when you practiced.
I was in awe of the cool and roaring voice.
“How are you, senior?”
“You sing so well?”
“I was surprised when I called. Originally, to sing like this, you have to force your throat to burst. But now it has grown so easily! Where did you buy that candy from? Can I get some?”
Where have I heard this once or twice?
In this case, it is best to make an excuse like this rather than saying where you bought it.
“This is homemade candy made by my friend.”
“Yes? Are you friends?”
“Huh. I got it as a gift.”
“Ah… So, is that what I felt? It’s like a placebo effect.”
“Maybe it is? Or it wouldn’t hurt to think that this candy actually has that effect. Anything is as long as you can sing well.”
Of course, even if Xiae thinks that the effect of candy is a placebo effect, the effect does not disappear.
Shi-ae must have thought my words were persuasive, so she nodded her head unexpectedly.
“Well, I think what you said is right. Whatever it is, just sing it well!”
Shi-ae smiled brightly and checked her neck once more.
As if proving that it was not a momentary porok, the sound spreads out coolly this time as well.
Smart!
“Who are you?”
“It’s us!”
“Oh! Guys!”
Xi Ae heard the voices of her members and opened the door.
Could it be that she was too happy to be the subject?
Si-ae rushes towards the members who are trying to open the door and comes into someone’s arms.
“Omg!”
“Huh!”
“Ahh! Me, I didn’t see anything!”
What Si-ae hadn’t thought of was that it wasn’t just the members of Si-ae who were visiting.
“Uh… Uhh…”
“Huh! Sin, sin, sorry!!!!!
I also laughed at this accidental happening.
The combination of Ki Woo-yeon and Si-ae, who can be said to have grown up well, was surprisingly not considered bad.
Unexpectedly, in the arms of a woman (actually, Wooyeon didn’t hug him), Wooyeon’s face was flushed red.
Realizing that she had attacked the man, Shi-ae quickly stepped back and stabbed the apple at a 90 degree angle.
I couldn’t do a perfect grandeur because I was wearing a skirt, but it was almost the same level of bowing.
“Oh, no. It’s okay, it’s okay.”
Ki Woo-yeon very shyly accepts the apology.
A subtle atmosphere flows between the two.
However, because there were so many people, the atmosphere did not last long.
“Wow ah~ Today is pretty, Si-ae~!”
“Hee hee, am I pretty?”
“Absolutely perfect!”
“How are you feeling nervous? Can you do it well? Your face color is nice.”
Like female idols, they gather around and chatter.
On the other hand, all our members quietly approached me and patted me on the shoulder.
It was a beating in the sense of suffering rather than worrying like the Xia group.
“Are you going to do well?”
“Of course.”
“Be first in what you do.”
The purpose of the program doesn’t mean to compete, but Si-ae and everyone around her are impatient because they can’t win.
But I know roughly what it means.
It means to work hard and do well enough to win first place.
“Anyway, everyone is well decorated.”
“Uh. It’s only for a moment, but maybe it’s because it can be captured on camera, so they take me to the shop.”
“Kyung-tae hyung asked me to just wear a mask and a hat and go. Hearing that, the head of the department was frightened.”
Woo-yeon, who had been silent for a while because of the embarrassing incident, intervened in the conversation to see if he had recovered over time.
For a while, each member got together and had a conversation, and after that, a place was created to introduce the members to each other.
However, everyone was awkward, so the seat didn’t last long.
“We have to go sit down now.”
“See you on stage later, hyung!”
“Yeah, I’m looking forward to it. I’ll show you a cool look.”
After seeing the members off, I went to the bathroom and then went back to the waiting room.
Si-ae was also sitting blankly with a slightly troubled face, probably after seeing off the members.
“It’s hard?”
“It’s not difficult, but when the members come and go, I suddenly feel empty. You’re on stage every day.”
“Certainly, when I go on stage alone, I feel something is missing.”
As if sympathizing with her, she shook her head as hard as she could.
♩♬♩♪♬~
Then, my cell phone rings.
“Uh! Senior, there’s a call!”
Her cell phone happened to be next to her brother-in-law, so she picked up her cell phone and handed it to me.
Then, as if she saw the contact name without realizing it, Shi-ae’s eyes shook violently.
I also wanted to ache for a moment.
I picked up my cell phone to check who was calling and it was Taeyang.
A boy needs to be careful wherever he goes so he bought me a kids phone in advance and he used it to call me.
When I think about how the sun stored it, I understand why Xia’s eyes twitch.
[Mine]
It is a name that is not suspected of being a son, but it is very meaningful to save the name as ‘mine’.
Perhaps Shi-ae would consider the identity of the person ‘mine’ as her lover.
‘Is it fortunate that he thinks of me as my lover?’
If I get away from my seat and answer the phone, it would be a mistake to misunderstand her as my lover.
Even if I made an excuse, wouldn’t you listen to it sincerely?
And in fact, there was a subtle tension running between the two of us.
“Hey, pick up the phone. Um, I need to go to the bathroom… Lol.”
Si-ae quickly left the waiting room.
‘I was completely mistaken.’
I sighed and answered the phone.
– Dad!!
“Yeah~ Pretty girl, what did you call me for?”
-Dad!!!!
“Yes, Dad. Did you call because you wanted to see me?”
-Are you Audi?
“Dad is at work.”
-My grandmother said she misses my dad~
“Really? Did Grandma do that?”
-Huh!
“What about the son? Does the son not want to see his father?”
– Not me! Grandma is like that
“Ah…You don’t want to see Taeyang?”
Taeyang, who does not understand the meaning of what I said and only works hard on what he has to say.
-I’m telling her grandmother secretly. Ah~
Jeong-hwa said he missed me, and it seems like he wanted to let me know that Taeyang called to tell me about it.
Taeyang, who is growing up well, has now become a child who can think of the feelings of her grandmother.
I wanted to run right away and kiss Taeyang, who was so cute, but I held it back.
“Okay~ He said he wanted to see it, so I’ll go see it. I’ll go soon after work. Taeyang will be waiting for Dad like Grandma, right?”
– Huh?
“Oh, why are you pretending not to know?”
– Hee hee, but this is it! I’m missing my teeth.
“Is this missing? Really? The sun cried the last time your teeth fell out. You didn’t cry this time?”
-Yes? I don’t know~ I don’t know~
Pop!
“…”
Taeyang toughly hung up the phone when he finished talking without answering my question.
If this is the case, I don’t know why I said at the end that my teeth fell out.
“Ha, but thanks to you, I’m getting stronger.”
Hearing Taeyang’s voice gave him strength as if he had taken a medicine.
I think I can do really well on stage.
By the way.
‘What should I say to Si-ae?’
It’s also a way to pretend you don’t know.
If today’s stage is over, there will be no reason to meet Si-ae anymore.
However, I was worried because I was a genuine child that made me feel regretful to cut off the kite like this.
‘Should I just call you a lover? I don’t think it matters much if I know her.’
Wouldn’t it be okay if he didn’t know that he was a son?
