Chapter 522 – #78. Remember Comeback (1)
“During my debut album, I just did what I was told to do. I practiced because I was told to practice singing, and I practiced because I was told to practice dancing. The music video was also told to do this, so I copied it somehow and filmed it.”
“It will be much easier if you do what you are told to do. Instead of not being able to decide anything, you don’t have to take responsibility.”
“It is too difficult.”
“You’re doing fine though. To be honest, I hadn’t even imagined the PPT. I refrained from filming, but I really wanted to praise you.”
Hehe.”
“I prepared very hard!”
“I’m glad the hyungs liked it.”
“Actually, while preparing, I worried a lot about whether this was right or not. But the hyungs did a lot for us to do nothing. You’re helping me this far, but it seemed so shameless that we didn’t do anything.”
At Blue’s dignified words, I put a piece of meat on his bowl for no reason.
“Eat a lot and grow up!”
“Thank you.”
“In fact, there is a big difference between knowing what our staff members are doing and not knowing what they are doing. Even if you don’t achieve as great results as you thought this time, if you don’t forget what you experienced, it will be of great help to you.”
When you work together, it is important to realize how precious they are.
“Of course. How can I forget this experience? I will never forget how my brothers helped me.”
“I’m not saying don’t forget what the hyungs did, but aren’t I saying that you know that all these people are working hard to save us?”
“Uh… I won’t forget that either!”
Yes yes
Grow up and grow well.
Only then can we successfully renew the contract.
“Ah! But there is a rumor I heard, can I ask about it?”
“Rumor? What rumors?”
To be honest, the fact that it’s a rumor itself doesn’t feel very good because there’s always more bad news than good news.
“Yes, but I was a bit worried if I could ask this. I think it would be rude.”
“What is the matter between us? Say it.”
“Uh… Really?”
“Yeah, it’s okay, so tell me. What are you taking so long to ask?”
“Actually, I heard that the hyungs give a lot of presents to the dedicated team. Just an incentive? I also heard that you take great care of it. Is that real?”
“Ah, me again. Were you so careful to ask this? It was nothing.”
I guess I was cautious because it was related to money.
“But why are you asking that?”
“We want to do it like the older brothers.”
“Oh, that’s amazing.”
“But you don’t have to follow us. Because the company takes good care of it.”
“I want to imitate good things rather than imitate them.”
I want to imitate good things.
I heard this, but I couldn’t tell you not to do it.
And the reason we have a dedicated team is to not take for granted what we are enjoying right now.
There is no member who does not know that our success was not thanks to us, but the help of the dedicated team.
This incident made me realize again the importance of a dedicated team.
“The reason we take good care of our dedicated team is because we can afford it. As I said before, you guys are not getting the proper payment. We are still at the stage of recouping our investment.”
“Yes…”
“The biggest advantage of our company is that they are very good at settlement. But that doesn’t mean you care enough to take care of others.”
“Yes.”
She will not receive Nara’s subsidy either because she got a ‘job’ while debuting as an idol.
In the end, she has to survive with the money she has saved and the salary provided by the company, but it is nonsense to ask her to take care of a dedicated team.
“It was only after we received a really big chunk of money that we started to take care of a dedicated team. I don’t think I even thought of it at the beginning of my debut. When money came in little by little and I was able to afford it, I took care of my family first.”
“Family! Yes. Family is important.”
“Don’t think too hard. We try to follow you, but your crotches are torn for no reason. Your teammates wouldn’t want that either. You still need to grow up taking care of someone rather than taking care of them.”
“Yes.”
“Still, it’s really commendable that you have such thoughts.”
“Don’t think too hard. They won’t want you to take care of them too much. The important thing is to keep a grateful heart.”
“Is it okay if I just have a grateful heart?”
For some reason, I could feel the concern in what the children were saying.
I didn’t think it was something to worry about not being able to take care of a dedicated team, so I thought there must be another reason.
“Did you hear anything bad?”
“… No.”
“The answer is zero. Do you have something?”
The children’s faces darken.
“What did you hear about? Did your teammates even talk about our teammates?”
The kids flinch.
It’s a sight that has been stabbed in the middle of the day.
‘Hi, I think they said they were envious of our teammates.’
That’s why they probably said that they wanted to take care of a dedicated team that they wouldn’t even become.
“I don’t know who made that nonsense while the babies were listening. What they say is just envy. I didn’t say it because I wanted to be taken care of by you guys.”
They don’t even have tails, but when I look at them now, it seems that their tails are drooping.
“I feel like I should be a bit bitter now. You guys need to be insensitive to what others say if you want to keep doing this. What if I’m so depressed just because I heard something like that? A lot of people will talk about you when the program we are filming now airs.”
Of course, there are good comments, but there are also a lot of bad comments that break hearts.
What remains in my mind are more bad comments than good ones.
Talking about nonsense as if it were true, making people crazy, laughing at my actions or giggling with each other over the photos that came out wrong.
There are even things that he does not hesitate to curse at the people around him.
I know that words spoken by people close to me are more lethal, but I had to slowly train my mentality from now on.
“Ah!”
“Are you receiving counseling from your company?”
“Uh… I have received it once.”
“If you start promoting in the future, take it steadily. Don’t subtract Is this of any use? Am I fine? Don’t think so.”
“Ugh… Yes.”
“If you really want to take care of your teammates, not just because of what they say, start with simple things like food.”
“Food…”
“Something like coffee or light snacks? Express your gratitude with something like that. And if you really want to take care of it like we do, start when you guys get paid properly and can afford it. At that time, no matter what anyone says, you will be able to do whatever you want.”
“Yes!”
We also started with food.
It’s not a very heavy meal.
“What would we have done if we weren’t hyungs? I learned a lot while hanging out with the hyungs.”
These are things that others cannot easily teach you.
Aren’t they the know-how accumulated through direct experience in the field?
“I thought we were really complacent. I really did not know anything.”
“How come they played with us, so the kids have grown up a lot.”
“It’s because I play with old people.”
“Guys, you’re not even twenty yet. It’s only natural that you don’t know.”
Hehe!”
When we said it, pretending to be an old man, he burst into laughter as if it were funny.
In the beginning, we started to help for a smooth renewal of the contract, but we have already fallen in love with them, so we really hope it goes well.
It wasn’t just me who was attached to them, but the other members as well.
The closer we got to each other, the higher the success rate of the project, and it was good for both of us to give generous advice and help the children adapt to life here.
And you can’t just have a meeting forever.
Now it was necessary to make a stage in detail.
♧ ♧ ♧
“You guys are doing everything you should have done at the company.”
“Haha, I didn’t know that even my sister would say such a thing.”
“How are the kids?”
As soon as Yeon Joo-nim saw me after work, she asked me.
After entrusting the twins to their real nanny, they went into Yeonjoo’s sister’s room and talked.
“Your sister didn’t care about the debut album of Remember this time, right?”
“I didn’t touch you.”
“Why did you do that?”
“Because I knew that doing everything on my own wasn’t the right answer. And how long can you not hold on to company work? I also have a personal life.”
If the boss or company staff heard this, they would be surprised.
“I ate a big one and left it there, and it was a mess. Still, try to believe one more time. At that time, Park Sang-joo was making a mess at the company. And you are part of the reason why the team dedicated to remembering had to struggle even more. In a normal case, I would have sent the team member who was in charge of you to the team dedicated to remembering.”
But because we didn’t let go of our team members, we couldn’t get help from staff with a lot of experience in this field.
“Still, our team members can’t give it to others. It’s our shell.”
If you send it to another place, you may never come back.
The moment even one person allowed it, a precedent would remain and people would complain about it here and there.
“I won’t take it away, so don’t be so vigilant.”
“Hehe. Yes.”
“Anyway, I heard that a lot of kids follow you.”
“Yes. I didn’t set out to do this, but I’ve become very attached to it.”
“Do you think it will go well?”
“It should be fine. It’s a big deal if you take the kids who can’t do it and don’t do it.”
This job has to be successful in order to make Yeon-joo’s older sister pay even a little attention to her work at the company.
Yeonjoo sister was gradually changing as she started a family.
It was the only company I was obsessed with and was looking elsewhere.
If the Remember kids fail again this time, Yeon Joo has no choice but to focus on her company work again.
In order not to do that, it was necessary to be sure that the company would run well even without confidence.
‘There are more and more reasons why children must succeed.’
I think I should do really well.
It’s time to slowly drown the kids in the swamp of the practice room, but I think I’ll have to use my trump card.
“The kids will be fine. I’m pretty serious about watching them.”
“And I mean…”
Concern disappeared from Yeon Joo’s expression, as if she was relieved to hear me saying that I was sure that the members would be fine.
However, soon, as if the story was not over, a new topic was brought in.
“Did you ever meet your sister without my knowledge?”
“Uh… Did you get caught already?”
I knew I would get caught someday, but I didn’t expect it to happen this soon.
“Park Sang-joo said it when he handed in his resignation letter. I was cowardly telling my aunt to make her sleep like this. I didn’t do anything, so someone else told my sister about the company… I think there was only one culprit.”
“That’s right. I went to see the boss and told him everything that was going on in the company.”
“Why did you do that? It was a greeting that would take care of itself even if you left it alone.”
“I’m hot. There is an obvious solution, but I thought there was no reason to neglect it.”
“Don’t you know why I didn’t tell my sister?”
Maybe I don’t know that
I knew why my sister wasn’t talking, but she said it nonetheless.
