Idols Around the World 460

Chapter 460 – #68. Vivienne Laurent (1)

When he turned his head and looked back, Vivian Laurent was hastily grabbing my collar.
She was honestly very surprised, but pretended not to be anything and asked, feigning her composure.

-Miss Vivian? What are you doing?
-Where are you going?
– Did something go wrong with the filming? I have a flight reservation for my next schedule.
-A plane? Are you pressed for time?
– No, there is still time left. But why do you…?
-That is…

I feel like I have something to say, but I’m speechless and hesitant.
I guess the reason I couldn’t concentrate throughout the filming was because I had something else to say.
I urged her as if to tell her to come on.

-Please speak. I’m listening.

It was still holding onto my clothes, so I couldn’t shake it off and go.
It was all the more so because there were still eyes watching us.

-I’m really sorry, but can you give me some time?
-Time?
-Actually, I have a favor to ask Mr. Haesol.

Vivian is asking me for a favor?
I have no idea what you’re asking for.
Ms. Vivian was nervous, swallowing her saliva as if she was worried a lot about even bringing her words out.

-What is your request?
-That is…

That is?

-Sah, I’d like you to sign it.
-…A sign? Ha, what else do I say? Of course you have to.

It was a request that was so easy that it was futile compared to the fact that it took a long time.
I was very nervous and then collapsed. I wondered if it was really difficult to ask for this.

-Is that really a request?
-Yes…

I don’t think he hesitated just to ask for his autograph…
It seemed like there was still something left to say, but I felt like I should do the autograph I was asked to do.
The problem is that there is no paper and no fan.

– It’s in my car! It’s not too far from here, can you come with me?
-What is it?

I moved to where Vivian’s vehicle was with the manager.
As we entered the parking lot, the stares watching us were clearly reduced.
Thanks to that, I spoke to Vivian with a lighter heart.

-It seems like you couldn’t talk earlier because of the people. Is it really okay to just sign an autograph and go?
-Ah! You noticed. Was I a bit weird?
-At least I know you didn’t mean to ask for an autograph.

Even though she was embarrassed, she nodded her head.

-It was one of the things I asked for your autograph.

However, the cause of death would not have been important in the gravity of the request.

– Since no one is around, can I ask for a proper favor?

That way you can think about whether or not to listen.
She glanced at my manager and she couldn’t help it, sighed and said.

– I have a nephew. That nephew really likes Haesol. I even go to concerts often.
-… Thank you.

And this time, too, she raised the rhyme of the conversation with completely different words than I expected.

-So I’d like you to talk to my nephew. It’s a video call.
-Is that a request?
-Yes. In fact, if I were to ask why this happened, my nephew was the cause.

Vivian’s confession started like that.
Her nephew who especially likes me as her favorite among airplanes.
Vivien asked her nephew if she wanted to get her autograph when she wanted to work with me, whom she really liked.

– How embarrassing. My son is a very calm kid. It’s the first time I’ve seen anything like that. I’m a kid who can’t make friends because I don’t have a place to sleep. So I guess I was a bit over-motivated without even realizing it.

Isn’t that the kind of person a child likes?
She said that she was greedy about what it would be like to get close to her and ask her to video call for her child.

-So, during the interview, did you say that I was your ideal type?
-Yes… It didn’t work out the way I intended.

He drooped her shoulders, who had grown sullen.
On the contrary, things went wrong that day, so instead of getting close to me, the distance widened further, so I couldn’t even ask for it and I was nervous throughout the shoot.

-My nephew is really looking forward to it. I know it’s really rude, but I promised to make a video call…
-You seem to be very close with your nephew.
-Yes! He’s a really nice and pretty kid.
– How old are you this year?
-10 years old.

You are younger than you think

– What’s your name?
– Mimi Laurent.
-Great. Please connect
-Thank you!
– This kind of request wouldn’t have mattered even if you didn’t have a close relationship. Meeting fans is always fun and happy.

Vivian took out her phone with a look of delight at my permission.
As if I forgot to connect the phone call Ah! He looked at me and said.

-Ah! Before you call, I have one thing to tell you.
-Please speak.
-Well, Mimi is a little special, unlike the others.
-… Yes.

She noticed at once that the specialness she spoke of was, unfortunately, not of the positive sort.

-I want you to tell your child positive things rather than negative things. I’m really sorry for bothering you so much.

Where did you learn the manners of our country? I bow my head and apologize.
I said as I grabbed her by the shoulder.

-It must have been difficult to say, but it must have been a lot of trouble. Do not worry. I can’t make the fans feel sad.

Only after receiving my shoulder pat did the real Vivian connect the phone.
The call was connected very quickly, probably waiting for a call there.

-Huh. Mimi, what were you doing? Your aunt promised I’ll let you make phone calls. I’m waiting to talk to Mimi right now. Filming is already over. And I’m not just listening to voices, I’m going to do it via video call. Really, then. Did you wash your face well?

A cute girl’s voice was heard faintly in the background.
Seeing Vivian’s face on the phone, I suddenly thought that it was a familiar expression.
A face I often see from Joo-ah noona and Jung-hwa.
It was also the expression the two of them made when they saw Taeyang.

‘Hmm.’

Somehow, I feel like I know something that I don’t need to know.

-Here, the phone.
-Yes. Hi? Mimi.
-Kyaaak!! Jin!!!

The girl in the video looked much younger than she was told she was 10 years old.
Such a girl was wearing a hospital uniform and her cheeks were flushed with excitement.

-Mimi! Don’t get too excited
-No! If this is not possible, how can a person live! Jinjin! I missed you. I went to the concert, but I couldn’t go to the fan signing event because I won. I was in tears because I was so sad.
-Oh. You couldn’t come to the fan signing event. If Mimi had come, she would have been really nice. How was the concert? Did you enjoy it?
-Huh! I was the happiest of my life. To the point where I want to go up on stage and sing with them.

Throughout the phone conversation, Vivian was flustered by Mimi’s reaction.
When Mimi is happy, Vivian is happy, and when Mimi is sad, Vivian is also happy, so he stamps her feet.
How many people will not notice the reaction?
At least I’m not blind.
Moreover, Mimi and Vivian in the video share a lot of similarities.
It’s not to wait for the excuse of being a nephew.

‘I’m sure she’s a daughter, right?’

As for Vivian, despite being over thirty, she has never been involved with a man.
That’s why this time, when he picked me as his ideal type, there was an uproar.
She wondered why a woman who had no place to fall for kept her distance from men, but this was something she couldn’t understand.
Since her daughter was so ill, it was natural that she would not even think of meeting a man.

“The flight is going to be late. I have to go now. Wait for the car to come. Hang up the phone too. Understand?”

Mimi and I got along well and chatted amicably until the manager said no more due to flight time.
It was a well-timed moment for each other, as Mimi had been on the phone too long and had been told to stop.

-No! There are still many unanswered words!

However, it was a situation where I had to hang up, so I couldn’t hang up at once.
Because Mimi was so sorry.
Vivian, who had been watching from a step behind, seemed to have noticed that the child would be stubborn.
–
-Mimi, Jin said you had to go. Um, what did you promise me before you called?

Vivian, who almost slipped her tongue, glanced at me, and let go of her pretense.
Maybe because I’m an actor, even though I made a mistake, it didn’t show too much.

-… You’re not being stubborn.
-That’s right. But now Mimi is stubborn.
-That’s right. Sorry.
-Yes? It’s a difficult position because Mimi asked for it, so you can’t do that.

Vivian knew very well how to handle her Mimi.
Mimi, who was ready to insist on her stubbornness, quickly turned sullen and broke her stubbornness.

– You won’t cry if you hang up, Mimi?
-Yes…
-Yes, I’ll go to Mimi right away, so I’m waiting for you. Listen carefully to the nurse This is what Mimi promised. You know?
-Huh. I know. Jin, hello. Nice to meet you. I will never forget this day for the rest of my life.

A cute little child greets me while crying, and the sight of him hits my heart! She does and she gets nailed.

-Yes, Mimi. Listen to your mother and stay healthy. When I have time, I’ll go see Mimi.
-Really? Are you coming to see me?

Vivian shook her head in surprise at my words.
It seemed that he did not like to make unreasonable promises that seemed difficult to keep.
However, I had no hesitation in making a promise because I was intending to keep my promise to Mimi.

-Huh. But Mimi’s mother has to give her permission. All Mimi has to do is get permission for me to go see her Mimi. How can you do it?
-Of course!! You can do it!
-Good. Then, if Mimi succeeds, please contact me through Vivian. Then she’ll go see Mimi.

Pop!

Huh?

Mimi, who was encouraged to the fullest thanks to the promise with me, neatly hung up on her phone first, as if she had never been stubborn.
Without even saying goodbye.

Haha! Cute.”
-What if I make a promise like that? My child has a good memory, so he remembers all those little promises. I’m sure you’ll be disappointed…

At first, he spoke in a strong tone, perhaps a little angry, but soon became sullen.
That face was the same as Mimi’s, so I smiled without even realizing it.

“It’s kind of weird not knowing anything about this. I don’t think I asked for it because I thought I could hide it in the first place…”
-Yes? I don’t know what to say.
– Please tell us your contact information. And when Mimi gets permission from her parents, she calls. Then I’ll go see you.
– Are you sure you want to come see Mimi?
-Sure. Please put your number here.

When I even held out her cell phone, Vivian’s face became moved as if she realized that it was real only then.

-Thank you. I didn’t know you would take care of me this much.
-To be honest, it’s bigger because Mimi is written in her heart than for Vivian. So don’t be too hard on yourself and allow it.
-No. I was stubborn today… Yes? What did you say now?
– To be honest, it was harder not noticing? The two look a lot alike.

As if hearing what Vivian had expected, his shoulders drooped.

– It was also impossible to hide.
-There are things I’m quick to notice.
-As expected, Mimi is my daughter. When she was young, she was a child she had without knowing anything, and she gave birth because she wanted to take responsibility. However, her family thoroughly hid the existence of her child, saying that it was embarrassing that I had a child at such a young age.

A family of great social honor.
I heard that it was a family that received many medals for helping people in need, but seeing as they sacrificed their family members to protect that honor, it didn’t seem like a normal family.
