Childhood Friend Who Sees the Future Utters Nonsense - Chapter 178
178 – Side Story – Busy Daily Life (2)
Seol-ha and Seol-ah rose to stardom as soon as they arrived at the company. Yuna even smiled bitterly, saying that she felt like she was at a press conference as the shutters kept ringing out around her.
Since Seol-ah is quite shy, she was busy burrowing into my arms when people gathered around her, but Seol-ha, on the other hand, showed her star side by smiling at people as if she was her older brother.
I’m starting to wonder if I’ll really end up owing this company someday.
“Ugh… .”
“Our Seol-ah, are you having a hard time because there are so many people? Don’t worry and rest, it’ll be okay here.”
“Ugh… .”
After I had properly stamped my seal on the company staff and entered the relatively empty recording studio, Seol-ah clung to me even more and whined. It seemed like she was having a hard time.
“By the way, can I use it here? You said it was a recording studio.”
“So what? It’s empty anyway, and there’s no one in the company who can say anything to us like this.”
“…but.”
In the midst of all this, I was worried for no reason so I asked Yuna, but I couldn’t help but nod in agreement at the refreshing answer I got back.
As expected, Armo’s center is said to be the one who made it possible for Jane Entertainment to build a new building. It’s even more surprising that it’s not an exaggeration.
In fact, a new company building is being built a little bit away from here, and the CEO even said something about it that I couldn’t tell if he was joking or being serious, like, “It’s all thanks to the Armo kids.”
“Seolha, come into my aunt’s arms. Woohoowoohoo.”
“elegance!”
While Seol-ah looks exhausted, Seol-ha still has plenty of stamina and is crawling around on the sofa.
When Lee Ye-rin made a gesture of spreading her arms towards Seol-ha, Seol-ha immediately ran into her arms and hugged her tightly. She seems like she will receive a lot of love in the future.
“Seol-ha is already showing signs of growth. Isn’t she going to be the center of our company’s boy group later?”
“Okay. What do you think, Yuna? If the kids want to be idols later, will you support them?”
Seeing that sight, following Seungyeon, Soeun also asked Yuna a question. To be honest, this was something I was curious about, so I naturally listened.
Since we haven’t even had our first birthday party yet, we haven’t really thought about our children’s future.
“Well, I guess I need to think about it.”
“Why? You did it too, so what can’t kids do?”
“I don’t think it’s impossible. However, if you’re trying to start with a light heart, I don’t think I’ll be able to allow it.”
To Lee Ye-rin, who asked in surprise, Yuna explained the reason in a rather serious tone.
Perhaps, when I first started out as an idol, my mother-in-law told me, “If you chose this path because you don’t want to study, then just give it up.” That’s why I’m saying this.
Because he was more sincere than anyone else, he was rather critical of people who tried to decide their dreams as a joke rather than sincerity. I completely agree with that opinion.
“I think the same way. Well, you don’t have to study hard, but I don’t think it’s a good idea to take a substitute path if you don’t like a certain path.”
“You’re stricter than I thought. I think you two would say the same thing.”
Although she had a surprised expression on her face, Lee Ye-rin seemed to be quite easily convinced.
He added that Nana Yuna is a typical swan-like type, so she seems to be swimming hard in the water. He said that’s why she hates people who look down on the world, even if they’re her family.
Honestly, I don’t know about Yuna, but I don’t think I’m that type of person, but I hope that at least my children won’t become that type.
You don’t have to be a particularly great person, but at least you have to be someone who faces the right path and walks it. That’s all.
“Then, while we’re on the subject, how about putting a microphone on the first birthday party? I heard that’s kind of a trend these days.”
“Mike? Alright. What do you think?”
“It wouldn’t be bad. It would be fun if Seol-ha really got the mic.”
In the past, only classic items like a gavel, a stethoscope, thread, and a brush were put up for doljabi, but I heard that these days, as times change, quite a few modern items are put up as well.
Among them, the most representative one is Mike. Since there are many people on TV who started out as trainees at a young age and then became successful celebrities, this kind of change naturally occurred.
Even Kim Soo-bin recently revealed that he had visited his cousin’s doljabi and that he saw a mouse coming up. He said that seeing that made him realize that the world has changed a lot.
Now that I think about it, I wonder what Seol-ah will catch. I can predict Seol-ha to some extent, but I really don’t know about Seol-ah. Will she catch money by inheriting her mother’s fortune?
dripping.
While I was lost in such slightly frivolous thoughts, someone knocked on the door of the recording studio.
“Oh, I see you’re here.”
Since everyone had a rough idea of who was coming, they weren’t all that surprised. So-eun, who was closest to the door, got up from her seat and went over to open the door.
As expected, the person who appeared on the other side was none other than the president.
“Sorry I’m late. The meeting ran a little long.”
“Ouch, the evil boss who keeps his employees waiting, step down!”
“Get out!”
“At least show some sincerity!”
Normally, if a boss said something like that out of politeness, you would wave your hand and say no, but Armo, who had already grown up, couldn’t see anything.
What happened was, except for Yuna, everyone protested fiercely towards the CEO, creating a union-like atmosphere. I never would have thought that Seungyeon would get involved.
“Then I’ll buy you dinner tonight. Is that okay?”
“Wow!”
“Our boss is the best!”
“It’s the law, it’s the law!”
Even so, the anger was only at the level of one meal, so it subsided quickly.
Since we all knew it was all a joke from the beginning, we were all able to laugh it off.
“Hey, by the way, Seol-ha and Seol-ah have grown so much. They were this big when I saw them last time.”
“It grows so quickly every day.”
“My kids were like that too. They were just so amazed when they first saw it.”
The boss smiled happily as he patted the children on the head. He seemed to have felt the same emotions we had, and his eyes showed great empathy.
“Yuna, who was like a daughter to me, has now started a family and even had children, and those children are about to turn one… I can’t believe how fast time flies.”
“Your expression seems to be one of deep sentimentality.”
“Yeah, I’m not really that emotional of a person.”
The CEO spoke with a bitter smile, but I couldn’t agree with what he said.
The boss was more sensitive and meticulous than any other person I’ve ever met. If it weren’t for that, Yuna and I would never have been able to develop this kind of relationship.
“Oh, right, boss, do you know that? Seol-ha, you were a total Hallyu star at work earlier, right?”
“Snow ha?”
“Yes, all the company people gathered and took pictures of Seol-ha and it was chaos. But Seol-ha even posed in the middle, didn’t she?”
“Is that so? Hey, they say you can tell a promising tree from its cotyledons.”
The CEO was amazed by the episode of Seol-ha that Lee Ye-rin told him like a heroic tale. Half-jokingly and half-seriously, he even said, “If you ever want to be a celebrity, bring me.”
I don’t know about other people, but I can trust and leave it to the CEO. The problem is that by then, the CEO will already be quite old and may have already retired from the company.
“Seol-ha, you shouldn’t forget this old man later on. If you want to be a singer, you have to come to him.”
“Pwa!”
When the boss jokingly held out his little finger and spoke, Seol-ha immediately raised her hand and gently bumped her hand against his finger. All the adults were dumbfounded by the sight.
“Haha, you really understand? You’re smart.”
“What I’m saying is, sometimes when I watch him, I wonder if he really understands what I say.”
I nodded in agreement with what the boss said. If that’s true, then maybe I should send him to a gifted class later.
“Oh, by the way, the first birthday party was in two weeks?”
“Yes, that’s about it.”
While they were chatting about this and that, Yuna answered positively to a question the CEO casually asked.
As the saying goes, there are now less than two weeks left until our twins’ first birthday party. It feels like a year has already passed.
“You must be busy preparing this and that. How many people are you going to invite?”
“This time, we’re going to keep it a little simpler than the wedding. It’s okay for us, but I think the kids will be really tired… .”
“Now that you’re a mother, you think about your children first. That’s a good thing.”
The CEO gave Yuna advice based on his experience, saying that he hopes she will be faithful to both work and family. He said that he once neglected his family because he was too focused on work, and he hopes Yuna will not be like that.
“There are a lot of people in the company who want to go, but I think we’ll just collect some congratulatory money and go as representatives with the kids and the manager.”
“Congratulatory money… is okay. It just feels like I’m just receiving money in bulk.”
“People want to congratulate you like this. Accept it without shame.”
The CEO, who said that it was not a question of money but of sincerity, and that it was actually more comfortable for the giver to receive, immediately put on a proud expression.
“And this is the first birthday of our daughter’s child, so I should take advantage of this opportunity to take good care of her. Don’t you think so?”
“Me too! I’ll make sure my nephews and nieces get a generous allowance!”
In addition, when Lee Ye-rin raised her hand and showed her intention to give the congratulatory money without any regrets, a cold sweat began to run down my back.
Somehow, I feel uneasy when I see these people boasting that they will give me a lot and a generous amount.
I wonder if I’ll be surprised and fall over later when I count the wedding money.
Oh, come to think of it, it was the same at the wedding too.
Avoiding it is a bit tricky, ugh.
