Idols Around the World 52

Chapter 52 – #09_ Overseas Reality Filming Trip (5)

“Huh.”
“Didn’t you go to bed early last night? Why are you so tired?”
“Maybe it’s because of the jet lag, I slept, but my fatigue doesn’t go away. I must be old too.”
“Hey.”

Kyung-tae hyung has a seizure(?) At my words.
How young is 21 years old, but is he going to have a seizure like that when he is already told that he is old?
Tsk tsk tsk!
In your 20s, you are still a baby.
When you’re in your 30s, you’ll know that.
That was the age when I realized what it really meant to grow old.

“Yesterday was too short. Let’s play really well today!”
“Oohhh!”
“I heard that PD-nim takes us to a very delicious restaurant.”

The name of the restaurant that received three Michelin stars is Giupeno Restaurant.
Somewhere our members heard that the place was very famous and sang, so PD-nim inquired about the place and got a seat.
When you run a restaurant, there are cases where you make a reservation and don’t come on the same day, which is called a no-show.
The production team called the restaurant and inquired just in case, and the no-show team came out by chance and found a seat.
They seemed to think that putting a filming team in place of the no-show would be a positive thing to help promote the restaurant.

“The time booked as a no show is 3:00. Until then, you can go sightseeing.”

Totally free time until 3:00.
Since there are a lot of members, each of them wanted to go to a different place.
We didn’t have much time, so we ended up splitting into groups of three to look around and meeting at a restaurant at 3:00.
Thanks to that, the number of bodyguards was also divided in half, but as I said yesterday, there were enough additional bodyguards, so it didn’t matter.

Ki Woo-yeon, Jeki, and Nam-gyu are in Group A.
Kang Kyung-tae, Kang Jun, and Jin Hae-sol are in Group B.
In this way, the three members were divided into their own groups.
Group A was scheduled to move around and visit tourist attractions, and Group B, including me, was scheduled to leisurely visit the country called Marencino at the Pladiffen Museum and Ward Falton Park nearby.

“I heard that the ceiling of the Pladiffen Museum is so famous, you must take a picture!”
“Okay.”
“Ugh! It’s a place I really want to visit, but…”

Gi Woo-yeon frowned and asked us to take lots of pictures, but we cheered for the fact that we were finally free from Jjing-jjing.

“Wouldn’t Jackie take good care of Wooyeon?”

Kyeong-tae was worried that it was right that he should have gone.
Since he is the eldest among the members, he thought he should have seen the difficult kids to manage.

“Council secretly can’t budge on Jackie. He will probably do better than his brother.”
“Still, I think amusement parks will be difficult.”

Kang-jun can’t ride the rides, and I prefer to have a cup of coffee and enjoy contemplation when I’m on one of the rides. Lastly, Kyungtae hyung, like the oldest in the group, had similar tastes to me.

‘At least I’m a 21-year-old kid.’
“Let’s leisurely enjoy the warm sunlight of Marencino!!”

The journey started from then.
The members and I walked around the streets as usual and went sightseeing.
Of course, today, like yesterday, my face was itchy from the women’s stares, but perhaps thanks to the increased number of bodyguards, no one came close.
I was so engrossed in sightseeing that I forgot that I even had a camera, and I wandered 100% completely immersed in the tourists.
The museum was a place that tasted good enough to see that it was really good to come.
I was excited to look around, and when I belatedly came to my senses, it was already close to three o’clock.

“I wonder if we were too excited among ourselves… Did you come up with anything worthwhile?”
Nodding-

The VJ staff holding the camera nodded with the camera and answered instead.
I was diligently taking pictures of landscapes earlier, but I wonder if they will fill the screen with them.

‘I should have come to my senses and done something. If it continues like this, everything might be edited.’

Fortunately, this reality is produced by the company itself.
But surprisingly, the expression of the producers was not bad.
No, it’s not bad, it’s really good.

“Really? The portion came out? No matter how much I think about it, nothing seems to have been done.”
“Don’t worry, just keep doing what you are doing now. The picture is very good.”
“…”

It was embarrassing, but the production team said it was good, so I had no choice but to let it go.

“I don’t know if the kids are doing well.”
“I’m getting hungry. Let’s go to the restaurant.”
“Huh.”

After visiting the museum and Ward Falton Park, I was able to reach my destination before 3:00 thanks to walking around the restaurant.
Because I took a seat because of the no-show, I couldn’t wait for my party outside, so I came in first and took a seat.
The problem was when I found out that Group A didn’t come even after 3:30.

“Hey, why aren’t you here?”
“Isn’t there something wrong?”
“Shall we make a call?”

I was worried about the kids for a while, but PD-nim approached me with a puzzled face.
I saw PD-nim’s face and felt it.

Oh, what’s the matter?

“Isn’t there a problem with Group A?”

At my question, PD-nim sighed and said,

“There is a slight problem with Group A.”
“Is this serious?”

I was embarrassed because I had already ordered all the food for the members.

“Looks like you were pickpocketed.”
“Omg. Who?”
“Omg!”
“So how did it go? Are there any children injured? Did Wooyeon get pickpocketed?”
“There’s a high probability of that because he’s quick and moves around well.”

After all, was it not enough for Jeki alone to be able to stop Gi Woo-yeon?

“It is not a coincidence that I was pickpocketed.”
“That’s even more surprising.”

From my point of view, since I usually think of the members as nieces and nephews, I naturally started to worry about my body.

“Eun-gyu was pickpocketed, and Woo-yeon said he was slightly injured. He wasn’t seriously injured, but he fell and slightly scraped his knee. Wooyeon-kun fell while following the pickpocket.”
“Omg!”
“?!”
“No, he is crazy.”

I think Ki Woo-yeon had an accident and hit it right.

“Fortunately, the bodyguards quickly followed and must have snatched Ki Woo-yeon. In the meantime, I fell and got hurt. It’s better to have your belongings stolen, if you follow that, it’s 100% kidnapping.”
“Wow~ That person saved Wooyeon. Must have missed that I got goosebumps.”
“He doesn’t know what’s scary in the real world. How did you get the idea to go after it?”

In a way, it was the bodyguard’s fault for failing to prevent pickpocketing in advance.
However, how can the bodyguards stop everything that happens in a moment at a tourist destination?
I could say that I did my job just by not missing Gi Woo-yeon, who was trying to follow the pickpocket.

“I don’t think it’s time to eat right now. Wouldn’t it be better to get up?”
“No, they said they went to the hospital and are now almost here. There was no rush, so I contacted you now. I also think that it would be better for the surprised members to eat delicious food and calm down.”

Certainly, the food is amazingly delicious.
As if it were true that they had come nearby, the children arrived within a few minutes.
The number of crew members allowed to enter the store was fixed, so only the members and VJ staff came in and took their seats.
Our biggest concern, of course, was Ki Woo-yeon’s knee and the situation of Nam-gyu, who was pickpocketed.
Kang-jun asked Nam-gyu as soon as he sat down.

“Are you okay?”
“Huh.”
“What did you lose? Did you hear anything important?”
“A little money and all the souvenirs I bought. I’m glad I kept my phone.”
“Is it true that Ki Woo-yeon chased the pickpocket?”
“Uh. I was fed up with it If Jackie hadn’t yelled at me to catch up, he could have been in real trouble.”
“… I’m sorry.”

Ki Woo-yeon was drooping like a pitiful puppy in the rain, perhaps already having been greatly disturbed.

“What on earth were you thinking?”
“I was furious for a moment. All I could think was that I had to catch it.”
“Ugh, what about your knees?”
“It’s okay. There is only a little bit of blood.”

Judging by Ki Woo-yeon rolling her eyes gently, it seemed that she was preparing for our nagging.
I smiled and put the plate in front of him.

“Eat this. Aren’t you hungry?”
“… Is this the end? Aren’t you angry?”
“I think I’ve already heard a lot of nagging, but I can’t be more discouraged here.”

Even if they made mistakes, they are our members and they are our children.

“Tongue!”

Ki Woo-yeon is completely moved, and her face goes down in tears.

‘Still, I can’t help but scold him.’

I put a new fork and water in front of him and said.

“I was really wrong, though. Were you scared too late?”
“Perfect. What have I done!? I did.”
“If you had thoughts, you would have known that it was a scary thing, and if you don’t want something bad to happen to you, you won’t do it again.”
“I will never, never, ever.”
“In addition, there are numerous people who will scold you in the future. That means you don’t have to do it for me.”
“… Yes?”

Starting with Ki Woo-yeon’s parents, the head of manager, road manager, producer, and production crew are all adults Ki Woo-yeon has to handle.
I was just going to stay still and comfort Ki Woo-yeon, who would come back very quickly.

“Jackie, you did a great job.”
“… Because of him, my lifespan would have been shortened by 10 years.”
“What would have happened if it wasn’t for Jackie? You deserve to be eaten as a reward.”
“Hyung, what about me?”
“Nam Eun-gyu, shouldn’t you have been more careful! How long do you have to be pickpocketed? With that spirit, I have nothing to say even if I get bossam.”
“Ugh, that’s too much. Am I the only one getting scolded?”
“Ki Woo-yeon has been scolded a lot, and he will be scolded in the future, so pass it and we will take care of you.”
“Let’s start with nagging how to be careful not to get pickpocketed.”

The members stared at Nam-gyu with their eyes wide open.
Between Jeki and Ki Woo-yeon, who were eating yum-yum-jeok-cheok, Nam-kyu was robbed by our members.

“It’s really delicious here.”

Gi-yeon, who happily ate her meal, returned to her dorm, and her parents’ phone rush made her eyes swollen the next day, but she was still enjoying the present without knowing her future.
