Episode 80 Marshmallow

“Minseo, you must have had a hard time.”

“That’s right! Because of bad people!”

Han Min-ha looks at Min-seo, who is crying loudly, and makes a pitiful expression.

Hoshi Shizuka clenched her fists and screamed in anger.

“Bad person? Are you still having a hard time because of the haters?”

Min-ha shook her head.

“No. I hardly see any malicious comments these days. Of course, the effects still remain. I’ve had such a hard time on my own that I can see that I’m more nervous than anyone else whenever I go on stage.”

For some reason, the Minseo that suddenly comes to my mind looks like a child.

A child with bruises all over his knees.

A child who kept falling down because he was pushed here and there.

A child who has developed the habit of walking awkwardly and nervously with each step due to the memory of falling badly.

My heart aches.

“But there are many bad people besides those.”

“Aside from malicious comments?”

I raised my head at Min-ha’s unexpected words, but Shizuka intervened, clenching her fists and nodding her head.

“Yes! Bad people!”

“who?”

“Winnie of Radiation!”

“Winnie? That famous male idol?”

It was something I had never expected.

Radiation was a legendary boy idol group that debuted over 10 years ago.

He was still known for having a very strong fandom and was considered one of the representative superstars leading the Korean Wave.

People who are like distant seniors to the school zone.

Winnie was the youngest member of the group. I remember her having a lot of older sister fans because of her overflowing talent.

No. But why is Winnie in such a great group?

Did you get caught?

“ah…….”

Han Min-ha touched his head as if he had a headache and nudged Shizuka with his elbow.

It seemed that he was concerned about mentioning his senior’s name directly when something bad happened. If the story kept going around and around, there was no way to know how it would turn out later.

But Shizuka didn’t care at all. She endured Han Min-ha’s elbow with her small body and spoke to me as if she was hanging on to me.

“Yes! That Winnie! It’s really bad!”

“Why? What are you going to do?”

“Minseo keeps nagging me? Nagging me? No. Nagging me! Nagging me!”

“what?”

I felt dizzy.

Minseo, who just debuted… … A member of a group with a fandom stronger than steel, is talking badly to Minseo?

It felt like everything was going dark before my eyes.

Regardless of what happened between them, there was nothing good for Minseo from being entangled like this.

I couldn’t even imagine how Minseo’s image would fall if even a scandalous article came out.

It’s not good enough to have a scandal involving a newly debuted idol, but what about a senior idol?

Isn’t it obvious that Winnie’s fans will hunt Minseo like a mouse?

“My sisters told me to be careful, Winnie! So Minseo keeps trying to avoid me. She’s persistent! I bet she’s really stressed out because of that!”

Shizuka, who tells everything as if she had been waiting for this moment.

Min-ha, who had been trying to stop Shizuka, seemed to have given up and sighed deeply as she continued to explain.

“There are many more. When we appeared on variety shows, because Minseo unnie didn’t talk much so as not to lose the concept, there were hosts who kept secretly teasing her, and because her vibe was so unique, strangely, many sasaeng fans came to her… … During that time, Winnie sunbae kept texting me asking me to eat with her and watching a movie… … Even though she didn’t show it, it seemed like she had a really hard time.”

Hot and sizzling.

I was so angry.

My stomach feels like it’s turning into a knot.

what?

Who are they to make things difficult for our Minseo…?

But what really makes me mad is…

The thing is, there’s nothing I can do in this situation.

‘under…….’

What am I?

He says he’s making some money selling clothes these days, but that money is nothing compared to what Winnie made.

Influence on broadcasting? It’s embarrassing to even discuss this.

There was nothing I could do, neither to the person who gave Minseo a piece of paper, nor to Winnie who continued to burden Minseo.

That feeling is really… … .

‘This sucks.’

I feel like my face is turning pale on its own.

“But I’m glad you did. That you even let it all out like that. Actually, I was really worried. I was worried that if you kept it in like that, it would suddenly burst.”

I followed Han Min-ha’s gaze and looked at Min-seo.

The boy was still crying in his mother’s arms.

I know.

I feel grateful that you cried like that.

I said with a deep sigh.

“Let’s make Minseo as comfortable as possible today.”

At my words, both Han Min-ha and Shizuka pursed their lips and nodded solemnly.

* * *

“Father. Today’s live. Are you canceling it?”

When I asked him in passing, my father straightened up as if he had been waiting for me.

“That would be better, right? Let’s do that.”

Since the broadcast with Millip, my father has been filming YouTube and broadcasting live at the same time.

but.

Today is cancelled.

Because today we decided to treat Minseo with great care.

It would probably be better to leave out live broadcasts where you don’t know what people will say.

however,

“What?! No! I have to do it live!”

Minseo, who had been sitting behind me with her mother, heard this and suddenly ran over and shouted.

“Huh? Oh. No. We weren’t originally going to do this live. It’s something my father has been trying out recently.”

I quickly calmed Minseo down.

I spoke as quickly and firmly as possible, fearing that she might think we weren’t doing what we originally wanted to do because of her.

Minseo, this guy. He was the type of person who couldn’t stand the thought of being a nuisance.

But is it already too late?

“No! I have to do it live.”

Minseo shook her head again with a stern expression.

“No, I mean… … .”

“I have to do it!”

Tightly pressed lips. Slightly puffed out cheeks. Desperate eyes.

The stubbornness was very firmly entrenched.

It felt like watching a child who couldn’t even walk properly, throwing a tantrum and saying he would walk on his own even if he died soon.

It didn’t seem like we could communicate.

“still…….”

“I will do it!”

I ended up smiling awkwardly and looking at my father. He shook his head as if to say, “There’s nothing I can do.”

Well, that’s true.

Today, I decided to make Minseo comfortable… … .

I thought that there might be a problem in that he was so stubborn that I wouldn’t listen to him.

“Ugh… … . Okay. But the live broadcast isn’t important, so if you get bored or tired in the middle, just tell me right away. I can end it at any time.”

“yes!”

Only then did Minseo seem satisfied. She smiled.

Just a cute golden retriever… … .

* * *

– and!

– School zone!

– I love you, Minseo!

– Is Han Min-ha’s beauty real?

– Shizuka is cute!

– This guy is really great. Stars are coming out one after another.

As soon as the live broadcast started, the viewers’ chats started going crazy.

Knock knock knock

But none of us opened our mouths to say anything about the blazing bonfire.

The same goes for my father, who had to host the broadcast.

My father didn’t even look at the chat window and was just roasting sweet potatoes.

– ?

– ?

– ?

– What? Why aren’t you saying anything?

– ?

– Don’t you know the broadcast is on?

Countless hooks poured into the chat window.

I looked at my father, but he still wasn’t even looking at the chat window.

“Father? Shouldn’t you be going ahead with it?”

Then, without even raising his head, my father spoke while poking the campfire with a long stick.

“No. We’re not going to do it today.”

“yes?”

“Today’s concept is no concept. It’s not a broadcast, it’s just us playing and resting. Those who want to watch, watch. Those who don’t want to watch, don’t watch. We even blocked sponsorship on purpose.”

“ah.”

“If I work too hard every time, the viewers’ expectations will get higher, so that won’t work. Since it’s a hobby anyway, I do whatever I want. That’s just how it is. When I do a show without guests, there are times when I just turn it on and drink alone without saying a word.”

Only then did I understand my father’s feelings.

Father also continued to worry about Minseo.

My father took measures in his own way to create an atmosphere where he could properly broadcast while taking charge, so that Minseo would not feel burdened.

However, he did not forget to explain that it was always like that so that Minseo would not think that it was her fault again.

“Good! Good!”

Shizuka Hoshi filled the audio with a big smile.

“Actually, Minseo cried today. So we like this kind of comfortable broadcast too!”

Huh.

I was surprised.

No. Can I say that on air?

As expected, the chat window became chaotic.

– ???

– Minseo is crying?

– Who is it! Who made Minseo cry!

– Wow. That’s unexpected. Doesn’t it look like you’ve never cried in your life?

– No. I feel like I’d cry if you just poked me.

– Who is the goddess!

-Why did you cry, unnie ㅜㅜㅜㅜ

Han Min-ha shook his head after seeing the heated reaction in the chat window.

Shizuka closed her mouth and rolled her eyes, wondering if she had said something wrong.

As we were talking about Winnie earlier, it seems like he’s the type to just blurt out his words without thinking much about them.

But what can I do?

The action has already happened.

Han Min-ha stepped in to mediate while keeping an eye on Min-seo’s expression.

“Ah. Now I have to decide on the concept for my next album and I’m really stressed out. That’s why I’m going to do a quiet broadcast. Like I’m here to rest comfortably. Oh, and don’t worry. My unnie is a total bonus woman.”

Han Min-ha said that and smiled bashfully.

She seemed to have decided that since it had come to this, it would be better to tell the truth rather than trying to hide it and be cautious.

That look somehow feels reassuring.

Minseo looked at it, then suddenly got up and took out a bag of marshmallows from her luggage.

“Min-ha. I’ll roast some marshmallows for you.”

Then, put the marshmallows on long skewers and roast them over a fire.

Minsu spoke to herself as she toasted the marshmallow with her elegant, slender hands.

“That’s right. I’m going to do what I want today. Because I cried today.”

Soon, the white marshmallow in her hands was roasting to a delicious caramel color.

Shizuka, who was watching that, took a soft marshmallow out of the bag and muttered.

The things I had noticed earlier seemed to have completely disappeared from my mind.

“Marshmallow! You know what? When I was little, I thought marshmallows were sheep poop.”

Han Min-ha, who had just received the marshmallow handed to him by Min-seo, made a surprised expression.

“Since sheep are white and fluffy, I thought their droppings would be white and soft too.”

Shizuka just laughed to herself, wondering what was good, and Hanmin shook his head as he put the softly melted marshmallow in his mouth.

And I.

“Minsu. You eat too.”

In the meantime, I roasted a marshmallow and put it in Minsu’s hand.

“Hehehe. Thank you.”

Minsu smiled comfortably and put the marshmallow I gave her into her mouth. She closed her eyes and rubbed her cheeks, enjoying the sweetness.

I felt a little relieved when I saw that.

Is it because I cried?

Minseo looked a bit more relaxed today.

Even when I saw him on TV, he always seemed a little nervous.

Even though the other members showed off their natural selves here and there, Minseo always seemed to try to stick to her own concept.

I thought I knew what he was thinking.

When there was no concept, Minseo was hated, and only after the concept was created did she finally receive love.

You might have been afraid to show your true self outside of the concept.

‘ah…….’

Suddenly, that thought occurred to me.

‘The concept for this second School Zone album is… How about going in the direction of bringing out each member’s unique charms more?’

I wanted to make it so that Minseo could be loved even if she showed more of her true self.

Yes, I wish I could carry out my job as an idol with a more comfortable mind.

As is the case with Millif.

I show myself without fear, and act out all sorts of appearances comfortably as if I were playing a game.

I hope Minseo can be loved just as she is.

‘I need to meet CEO Min Hee-sung soon.’

Because deciding the next concept for School Zone isn’t something I can decide on my own.

I made a resolution to myself that I had to somehow convince CEO Min Hee-sung.

“Minseo.”

“yes?”

“Eat one more.”

“lol.”

Minsu takes the marshmallow and smiles a little like an idiot.

okay.

Keep smiling like this.

I may not have enough strength, but I will help you somehow.

Like a bonfire burning quietly in the night, my heart also bloomed calmly and warmly.
