Episode 114 Rolling in

School Zone, who are busy preparing for their debut, took some time out for the first time in a while.

They visited the office of Min Hee-sung, the CEO of Stella Entertainment, from the morning.

“Representative… … ! Thank you so much!”

Minseo was the one in front and bowed her head deeply.

The other four members followed her and bowed their heads in unison.

Winnie’s bullying.

Actually, I thought there was no way.

I informed CEO Min Hee-sung just in case… …but the other party was JG Entertainment.

Even though Min Hee-sung was the CEO of Stella Entertainment, one of the best in South Korea, everyone knew that he was inferior in weight class.

But what is this?

One day, a very surprising instruction came down.

I will ignore all contact from Winnie. No, I will block her completely.

At the same time, I will completely ignore any comments he makes.

Then, when the time is ripe, I will give you an honest rebuke.

From Minseo’s perspective, it was a very refreshing instruction, but at the same time, it also made her worried.

It was because I knew what it meant for a rookie idol to be at odds with a senior idol.

But CEO Min Hee-sung told me not to worry, and that really happened.

All of Winnie’s misdeeds were being exposed.

Firstly, by foreign media,

Secondly, by the Korean media,

And now by the police and prosecutors… … !

There was no need to fear him any more.

No. Rather, since I gained the public’s trust through this incident, I no longer have to be afraid of anything.

To Minseo, this whole process felt like magic.

It was like an ant hell that I couldn’t escape from with my own abilities…

All I could do was struggle to keep from falling any deeper… … .

I thought I would have to struggle for a few more years as an idol… … .

Can it be solved this easily?

Everyone was happy.

Because other members of the school zone were also unknowingly stressed out by this issue.

The stress that had been weighing on my mind flew away, and preparations for my debut gained momentum.

Today, we all came together to see CEO Min Hee-seong to express our gratitude.

But CEO Min Hee-sung shook his head.

“If you want to thank me, you should thank designer Lee Yong-won, not me.”

“Is this PD Lee Yong-won?”

Min Hee-sung smiled happily at Min-seo who asked with wide eyes.

“Yeah. No, I should thank Minseo too.”

“yes?”

“You connected me. Designer Lee Yong-won and our Stella Entertainment. Thank you, Min-seo. Thanks to you, I was able to finish this difficult task easily.”

“Huh? Huh?”

Towards the bewildered Minseo, CEO Min Hee-seong began to explain everything that had happened.

“So. What happened is… … .”

As his story continued, the School Zone members’ mouths opened wider and wider.

* * *

The school zone came rushing in just as Cop and Tief’s operating hours were ending.

“What’s going on? It’s like this.”

The children in the school zone were silent.

They just surrounded me with grim faces.

“Uh, yeah?”

When I was feeling intimidated by the ominous atmosphere, Minseo quickly approached me and grabbed my left leg.

“uh?”

Snap!

This time, Han Min-ha grabbed my right leg.

“Huh?”

Yoon Chae-in on the back, Emily Cruz on the left arm, and Hoshi Shizuka on the right arm.

The kids rushed over and lifted me up.

“Huh? What are you doing?”

I was so shocked that my heart pounded, but I couldn’t even flinch.

I’m afraid that if I use too much force, these delicate things might fall over.

Thanks to that,

Boooow-!

“Ugh!”

I was thrown towards the sky.

Since the kids weren’t that strong, they didn’t throw it very high.

But I definitely felt a moment of dizziness as the body rose to my mind.

“What, what! Hey! Wait a minute!”

Yes, that’s right.

It was a hengare.

Five girls grabbed me and threw me into the air and caught me.

Maybe three times?

“Kkaaaang!”

Emily sat down with a strange noise.

As one fell, a chain reaction began to occur, causing everyone else to fall down.

“Ugh!”

Shizuka slumped down and Yun Chae-in slumped down,

“Ugh!”

Minseo fell down, and eventually Han Minha, who had been holding on until the end, also fell down.

“What, what is this!?”

Suddenly, I crushed five girls and, struggling, carefully escaped their clutches.

“Are you hurt anywhere? What if you sprain your leg?”

After barely getting up, he screamed.

But the children sat there and burst into laughter.

“Ahahahahaha.”

“Wow! It’s refreshing!”

No, do these guys even realize that they are idols now?

I quickly got the kids up, conscious of the passing customers and employees of the surrounding stores glancing in our direction.

“Get up quickly! Shake off your clothes!”

I felt like I was taking care of the kids who had made a mess while playing at the playground.

The kids laughed and followed my words well.

Then they all bowed their heads at once.

“Thank you, PD!”

“What, what.”

“I heard everything, sir.”

ah.

I heard.

Is that why you came?

I wiped my nose in embarrassment.

“What? It’s obvious. Don’t forget. I own 7% of your shares?”

The kids burst into laughter at those words.

Han Min-ha said calmly.

“It’s still 5%.”

That’s right. They have to make a comeback and increase sales several times to get their stake adjusted to 7%.

“That’s what they say.”

As I was waving my hands, Emily, the youngest, held my hands tightly with both of hers and said.

“Just wait and see, PD. I will make sure you get 7% no matter what.”

As if on cue, the kids all rushed over and placed their hands on top of each other.

It’s like cheering before a game.

“That’s right, PD. Definitely 7%.”

“If we can’t make up for the sales, we have to reduce our percentage no matter what!”

“That’s right, absolutely!”

Children whose eyes sparkle with enthusiasm.

uh.

How does this feel?

Is this how you feel when you receive a carnation on Teacher’s Day?

My nose started to sting for no reason.

Minseo looked into my eyes and said.

“PD.”

“Uh, yeah?”

“Thank you. Again, for saving me.”

“No. What… … .”

“I. I will become stronger. I will go higher.”

At that moment, I thought, it’s like a supernova explosion is happening in this child’s eyes.

She filled me with her shining pupils and vowed.

“So next time, I will definitely save you, PD.”

Okay, Inma.

You don’t need to save me, just grow up healthy.

The words were rising to the tip of my tongue, but I barely managed to swallow them.

Now that I think about it, it seems like such an old person’s words.

“PD! See you later!”

“Next time I’ll be on top of the Billboard charts!”

“Emily! Where did you learn to say that!”

The children came like a storm and left like a storm.

Five members leave the store, laughing and chatting.

And then, as if crossing paths with them, a girl came into the store.

Minseo looked back at her reflexively,

“Huh? We’re closed.”

But the girl just nodded as if she understood and entered the store without hesitation.

She seemed to hesitate for a moment, then came straight toward me.

The school zone children who were leaving, chattering about the ominous atmosphere, stopped in their tracks and stared at her as she entered the room.

I said, a little nervously.

“Excuse me, sir? Business hours are over.”

She was a girl with a strange sparkle in her eyes, as if the Milky Way had been sprinkled on them.

She didn’t even answer me, but just bowed deeply in greeting.

When I too was bending down in bewilderment, she whispered.

“Thank you, Designer Lee Yong-won. For making Winnie fall.”

I could feel it.

At that moment, my expression fell.

Thump thump.

Throb thump.

Oh, how do you know?

Are you an assassin sent by Winnie?

And then she stared at my face with sparkling eyes and smiled brightly.

It was a lively and joyful laughter, like the frozen winter snow melting in an instant and flowers blooming on top of it.

“That’s right!!! It was real!!!”

uh?

She jumps up and down.

She bowed her head deeply again and cried out.

“Thank you! My name is Lee Hwi-ya! I’m 21 years old! I’m in good health!”

Hey, but?

She raised her head and placed the heel of her hand on her forehead. It was a picture-perfect military salute.

“Hey! Hwi! Hey! From now on, I will be loyal to designer Lee Yong-won!”

yes?

What did you say?

“Please hire me! Even if you only pay me minimum wage! But I can still work 7 days a week, 15 hours a day for about 3 years! I will work hard to repay this favor!”

Just a moment.

Then I’ll be caught.

Her sparkling eyes are staring straight at me.

I looked around in confusion.

Dongwook’s brother had his mouth wide open.

Next to him, Baek Dong-soo’s eyes, nose, and mouth holes were all enlarged.

The employees who were cleaning up the store all stopped and turned to stone, and the school zone kids who were standing awkwardly at the entrance of the store all opened their mouths.

What, what the heck.

Lee Hwi-ya.

She really came flying in like a comet and hit Cop and Tief hard.

* * *

“… … So. I can’t go into detail, but you suffered for years at the hands of that bastard Winnie, and you came here to repay the favor by sending her to hell?”

“Yes! Yes! That’s right.”

“… … How did you know I did it?”

She put her finger to her chin and gave a meaningful laugh.

“It wasn’t a hard guess. Winnie and I had open conflicts recently in School Zone and Cop and Tief.”

“Huh? But the foreign press has moved… … .”

“So it was easier to guess. There is no one who does not know the friendship between designer Lee Yong-won and Millif. And Millif and Ellison are close friends. Strangely enough, the countries that received extensive foreign media coverage were all places where Ellison’s businesses were established.”

What is that?

Aren’t you just taking pictures and matching them?

It seemed a bit flimsy and a bit of a leap in logic, but… … she got the answer exactly right.

I should say that the feeling is very good.

“Actually, I was an early victim. It wasn’t as bad as what was reported in the newspaper. At that time, Winnie was also clumsy, so she could have run away. But… …! That’s why I regret it even more.”

Suddenly a shadow fell over her eyes.

The sparkling eyes that seemed indifferent to the sorrows of the world suddenly lost their light.

“Back then… … If I had handled it better… … If I had been able to show Winnie a hard time in the beginning… … Then wouldn’t there have been no victims later… … . Because I was worried about my pitiful career, didn’t more people get hurt by thugs like Winnie… … .”

“No, that’s… … !”

I tried to comfort him by saying, “It’s not your fault,” but Lee Hwi-ya cut me off and came in.

The Milky Way-like starlight appeared in her eyes again.

“So! I want to repay the favor along with the other victims! Please give me a chance!”

Dreaming dreaming

What should I say about this?

I just blinked and turned my gaze to Dongwook hyung.

He looked down as if lost in thought, then opened his eyes and spoke.

“I thought about it. First of all, it’s ridiculous to use minimum wage.”

No, bro. Are you really going to make me do something?

“I heard you’re currently selling clothes, so I could hire you as a store employee… … but I think you’re a waste of talent to do that.”

Then he said,

“Mr. Lee Hwi-ya, do you want to try YouTube? A YouTube channel to promote .”

Lee Hwi-ya glanced at Dong-wook, nodded slightly as if he was grateful, and then fixed his gaze on me again.

“I’ll do anything you tell me to do. Whether it’s YouTube, sales, or cleaning!”

Although the decision-making authority for running the store was with Dongwook, not me, she looked at me with the attitude that she would only follow what I said.

what’s this.

Something.

Something strange rolled in.
