Genius Manager Who Hears Voices - Chapter 51

Episode 51

What on earth is going on this time?

Not only do they have no connection to ‘Pier Star’, but they are already receiving tremendous support and care from a large entertainment agency.

None other than GEM Entertainment, one of the top three entertainment companies in Korea.

The market capitalization is so huge that it competes for 1st and 2nd place every year.

As one of the leading groups there, it goes without saying that they earn a lot of money.

But why are you suddenly trying to involve yourself in that?

“It’s a matter of human lives, so I can’t just pretend not to know…”

As Hee-sung was leaving Jeju Airport, Han Jeong-woo, who had come with him, asked him with a puzzled look.

“Huh? Whose life is at stake? Who is it? What’s the scenario?”

“No, no.”

After all, this was a task that was difficult to do actively.

Not only was I not affiliated with GEM Entertainment, I didn’t have any connections there, so I had no reason to approach that place in the first place.

So, what I thought of was traveling with Han Jeong-woo.

Since I heard from Ahn Hae-min where the filming location was, I thought it would be okay to say that they also stopped by there on vacation.

The filming location was a resort-style pool villa, and the structure was open, so it seemed like it would be accessible if I could just reserve a place to stay.

Anyway, if you approach it, you’ll be able to dig up whatever you want.

However, ‘Pierstar’ had already reserved the entire pool villa, and the regular resort room was too far away for them to use.

Then the owner of the lodge mentioned that there was one annex left and that it was not included in the space they had reserved.

Of course, I said it would be inconvenient because it was quite far from the swimming pool and other amenities, but Heeseong transferred the money right away without even thinking about it.

After all, the real goal wasn’t vacation, but to find out Yong Han-soo’s true intentions.

“But Manager. Is that all you have…? I just came to visit, so how can I only have one backpack?”

Unlike Han Jeong-woo, who was carrying a large carrier, Hee-sung only had a backpack.

Even that was just a few T-shirts, pajamas, and underwear to change into.

Heeseong smiled faintly as he walked to pick up the rental car he had reserved.

“I’m going to buy what I need here when I need it. Since they’re summer clothes anyway, I don’t think it’ll be a big burden.”

“Wow, I should have done that too? The manager is totally a genius.”

“Actually, I don’t have many clothes. I’ve never been on vacation before, so I don’t have any clothes in my closet that I can wear. This is my first time coming to Jeju Island, too.”

“Huh? Really? No, how could that be… You’ve never even been here on vacation?”

“I always worked during vacations. When other people went on vacation, someone was needed to fill their spots, and I always said I would do it. I had nowhere to go, and I thought it would be better to earn a little more than to go somewhere and spend money. That’s how it ended up like that.”

Han Jeong-woo had nothing to say, so he just opened his mouth slightly and nodded.

I was proud of myself for living a hard life, but compared to Heesung, I felt like I was nothing.

“Oh, right! You said your father gave you a card? We can use it as much as we want while we’re here, Manager. I would never have used it before, but now he gave it to me as a token of his support and encouragement for what I’m doing. Hehe, let’s go shopping first, Manager?”

Han Jeong-woo puts on his sunglasses and cheers as soon as he gets into the rental car.

Heeseong nodded obediently and said that he would do so.

Meanwhile, Heeseong’s navigation search showed the address of the hotel they were staying at.

“Then, shall we start by going to the hotel and unpacking our bags?”

*

“Huh? What? We weren’t the only ones who made the reservation? Who else is there besides us?”

It was three hours later that the staff arrived at the accommodation to film ‘Fierce Star’s’ own content, a reality show.

Of course, I thought I had booked the entire accommodation, but when I actually went in, there were two men lying on the sun beds by the pool, doing something like getting a tan.

“What are those people…? It’s 11 o’clock in the morning. Why are they standing there like that? And how did they get in here?”

“Could these be the people who stayed there yesterday? They’ll probably be checking out soon.”

“I rented it all out yesterday, saying I’ll move the equipment and set it up early today. What are you talking about? And don’t you know that the check-out time here is 11 o’clock? If you were going to leave, you should have left earlier. Hurry up and check.”

“Oh, yes!”

Since it was a kind of YouTube content, the number of staff members was not that large.

At the PD’s direction, the youngest PD hurriedly went to the sun bed and talked to them.

A moment later, the youngest PD returned with a look of great surprise on his face.

“Wow! PD-nim. Is that the person? Manager Jeong Hee-seong.”

“Jung Hee-sung? Who is that? Which company’s manager is that?”

“Hey, don’t you know? There’s a manager who’s really hot these days. He’s not part of any company, but works as a freelancer. Why, he was a hot topic recently because of Senior An Jeong. And you even talked about it while eating?”

“Oh! Yeah, I know. But is that guy over there that guy? Why is he here? How did you make a reservation here?”

“You said you just made a reservation over the phone? You said you understood because they said there was a separate building left. When I told you that there was a ‘Fiesta’ shoot, you were even more surprised? You must have had no idea. You said you were just here for a vacation.”

“Really? Hmm… Then who is that person next to me? Is he my friend?”

“No. He’s the actor Han Jeong-woo who I’m working with right now. He’s a new male actor. Since he’s not an ordinary person anyway, I don’t think it’ll matter. He’s not someone you’d go around talking about.”

The PD, who had been thinking for a moment while rubbing his chin, soon nodded obediently.

“Yeah, well. They said they came to play too, so there’s no need to get upset. We work in the same industry, so it’s not like we’re going to be surprised by something called ‘Fiesta’.”

“Of course! Didn’t you see that person holding a press conference? It’s obvious that he’s not interested in that kind of thing. It seems like he won’t even look at us no matter what we do.”

Exactly one hour after saying that.

The two PDs realized that their comments were quite reckless.

“Wow, hello? I’m a real fan. How can I see you here? Wow. Seriously, really coincidental. I really didn’t know! There’s a filming here!”

Heesung greets the Fiesta members by repeating the word “real” four times as soon as he sees them.

Han Jeong-woo, who was standing next to me, also greeted me.

“Hello, seniors! I’m a rookie actor named Han Jeong-woo. Wow, I never thought I’d meet such great seniors here. I feel like I’ve used up all my luck for the year here. Hahaha.”

“Oh my, we’re so happy and excited to see you, the people we used to see on TV. How did you get here? Did you find a place to stay here?”

“Yes, that’s right. I felt a strange vibe from the moment I made the reservation. I guess it was because something good was going to happen. Haha.”

Hee-sung looked around at the Fiesta members while greeting them cheerfully.

Ji-ae, Lena, Yuji, and lastly Su-ah.

‘In the end, it’s not me but that guy who ruined their lives. And it’s also because of Su-ah.’

Because the information was so fragmentary, there was nothing we could be certain of at this point, but one thing seemed clear.

The future is unfolding because of Manager Yong Han-soo, who is talking to Ahn Hae-min behind me right now.

Because he heard me talking secretly on the phone with someone in an empty alley and didn’t tell anyone.

If I hadn’t heard that voice, there’s a good chance I would have actually done that.

There is no reason to interfere in other people’s business with facts that are not even certain.

But not anymore.

Those two voices said that the situation happened because Heeseong knew about it and turned a blind eye to it.

Moreover, Su-ah said that she even made an extreme choice because of that incident.

The important thing is what on earth is Yong Han-soo up to.

“Hey! Manager! Hey, what brings you here? Are you here on vacation? To this pool villa?”

At that moment, Ahn Hae-min, who had discovered Hee-seong, approached him with a very welcoming gesture.

The problem was that it was too obvious.

“That… your acting seems so awkward. I think it would be better to just act naturally.”

“Hmm. Is that so? But I can’t pretend not to know. Haha. Yeah, I’ll try to be a little more natural.”

I didn’t tell Ahn Hae-min the details, but I did tell him that I had made a reservation here for today.

And I had also separately asked you to keep quiet about the fact that I knew about it in advance.

While the staff including Fiesta started preparing for filming, Heesung’s gaze was fixed on Yong Hansu.

So far, I haven’t seen anything strange at all.

He was just doing his job as a manager, like any other manager, by bringing them cool water and blocking the sun with a large umbrella.

It seemed like he was quite close with the members, and he seemed friendly throughout the conversation.

‘That’s right. You said you’ve been together since Fiestar debuted, right? It’s only natural that the members rely on you.’

Fiestar is a girl group in their 6th year this year.

Considering that the standard contract period for an average idol is 7 years, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he spent most of his time at GEM with Yong Han-soo.

Because we see each other almost every day, 365 days a year, not only domestically but also on overseas tours, we spend more time together than with our own families.

What on earth are they planning to do, betraying the company with those members?

‘Huh? Where are you going?’

At that time, Yong Han-soo, taking Su-ah with him, started walking quietly somewhere.

After that, he disappeared without a trace, and happened to be heading towards the annex that Heeseong had reserved.

“I’ll go to the hotel for a bit.”

After leaving a message for Han Jeong-woo, Hee-seong quickly and quietly followed in the direction they had disappeared.

Even if I got caught, I didn’t feel too burdened because I could just say I was on my way to my lodgings.

However, it seemed clear that there must be some reason for taking only Su-ah with him, so he tried to follow her as secretly as possible.

A little later, as I was about to enter the gravel road, I began to faintly hear the sounds of a man and a woman talking very close by.

And the moment he heard those words, Heesung was able to immediately understand what was happening.

“You know this is a real secret, right? I absolutely shouldn’t do this, but I’m doing it because it’s you. Because out of all the members, I care about you the most. Okay?”

“Hehe, I understand, oppa. I’m always grateful to you. You take care of all my work.”
