If You Raise Three Idols Well, They Will Confess Their Love - Chapter 139



139 – Crazy b*stard

Episode 139

Alcest’s debut was successful.

The common opinion of both the public and critics was that they were evaluated as a complete version with the unique color shown in the existing SS, and that they had a more advanced charm than ‘Seven Style’, the girl group of the previous generation of SS.

Seeing these results, SS also changed its evaluation of Cheon Jong-hoon and Alcest and decided to make more aggressive investments.

Thanks to this, many media companies that had ties to SS or received orders were carrying out the so-called ‘Alcest launch.’ In the aftermath, real media outlets and communities also began to follow suit, reproducing their praise for Alcest.

“…”

However, the article about Alcest did not catch the eye of Cheon Jong-hun, who should be enjoying the praise more than anyone else.

“… Was Sunny that deep summer?”

The media was boiling over.

Jong-Hoon Cheon knew this trend well as someone who had been working in this industry for quite a long time and was aiming for the top.

Now, the spark has only been kindled. Soon, like an exploding volcano, it will cross the critical point and create a spark that will shake the industry.

“The competitor has fallen.”

This is clearly good news.

This is the signal for the downfall of the Girl Revolution, the most difficult enemy that Alcest has begun to face.

But strangely enough, he wasn’t happy about it. Even he didn’t know why.

“Did you call me?”

So to find out the reason, he called Seo Soo-ae.

“Okay, let’s talk for a moment.”

“… A story? Yes, if you don’t mind, I’d be happy.”

Cheon Jong-hun rarely looked into people’s eyes and talked to them in this SS office.

It was almost his default to always have evaluation materials next to him and look down at them as if he were reading them and evaluating them. And it was the same when dealing with Seo Soo-ae.

But the way he looked now was different. He took his eyes off the monitor and looked directly into her eyes.

Perhaps this unusual appearance had great significance, as Seo Soo-ae deviated slightly from her usual indifferent and business-like attitude, revealing her emotional turmoil in her eyes.

“The time you and I spent was so long.”

“Yes, I started working as a helper in my first year of high school, so I think I can say that too.”

“Yes, we have spent quite a bit of time together, from when we were immature, to college, studying abroad, working at Cheonga, and now to SS. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is half of life.”

“… You’re right. It is not enough to say that it is half of my life.”

In fact, for Seo Soo-ae, who had been trained since childhood to assist Cheon Jong-hoon even before joining him, it was not enough to say that it was all, not half, but Seo Soo-ae chose to sympathize with Cheon Jong-hoon’s words rather than express it.

And Cheon Jong-Hoon also knew the psychology of her saying that.

He took a sip of the cooled tea and spoke again.

“Except for these two areas, music and management, I didn’t pay much attention to them, so I lived with a lot of help from you. Assignments, attendance, family events, personal management, etc. That are too small for me to pay attention to. Thanks to you, who took care of things without me having to say anything, I was able to focus on my duties comfortably. Thank you.”

Seo Soo-ae’s expressionless face completely broke down and she waved her hands in despair at the words of congratulations she had never seen before.

“Ah…, No. I just want to listen to Master Jong-Hoon’s… No, I was just doing my duty to assist Team Leader Cheon. This is not something to be praised for. Still, if my actions were meaningful to Team Leader Cheon, I would be very happy. Thank you so much.”

Cheon Jong-hoon spoke as he looked at Seo Soo-ae, who was nodding her head, unable to hide her bright smile.

“It’s not something I’m grateful for.” Honestly, I should have said this a long time ago. Where was it usually easy? What does it mean to satisfy that vague statement, ‘Take care of yourself?’ … That was the part where I valued you the most. Even though I took care of things that bothered me, I never crossed that line. So, I trust you, Seo Soo-ae. But now, it seems like I trusted it too much.”

“I… Sorry, but I didn’t mean it…”

Seo Soo-ae, embarrassed by the change in atmosphere, increased her conversational tone. He spoke plainly.

“Revelation of the girl revolutionary Jin Yeoreum. “You did it, right?”

“…”

This was something he could recognize because he had been with Seo Soo-ae for half of her life.

A unique way of manipulating people, and a gradual movement of public opinion spread through the media. It seemed like she was trying hard to hide it, but she couldn’t know.

Because it was a familiar sight to everyone.

“I trust that you won’t be too boring to pretend not to know. Don’t you know me just as you know me?”

“Crime… Sorry…”

“It’s bothersome to even apologize like that. Let’s just get to the point.”

His black eyes, which had been simple as if he were bored, sparkled like a snake.

“Why did you do that?”

“…”

“Answer carefully. Because this is an important question.”

Seo Soo-ae, who faced the reality that she could not avoid Cheon Jong-hoon’s attitude her, opened her mouth while shaking.

“If Team Leader Cheon fails the Alcast project now, he will face an unprecedented crisis. That’s why I…”

“It’s not like this, but we’ve had crises before.” But why was it different now?”

“… The attitude towards Sun Taeyang was different when it came to the girl revolution.”

“Attitude?”

“Young master. … No, Team Leader Cheon always showed confidence. The confidence that you can overcome any opponent or any situation and prove that you are the best.”

He was always arrogant. And he had the ability to match his arrogance. That was the Cheon Jong-hun that Seo Soo-ae saw. But he changed.

“But this time it was different. The way I looked at the man named Seon Taeyang was completely different from before. So I became anxious. “I am anxious that if I face that man at this moment, when my position as successor should never be threatened and I cannot fail, the worst accident could happen.”

Seo Soo-ae’s eyes wavered like candles. However, Cheon Jong-hun’s eyes looking at her were as emotionless as her her her her her her her her.

“… So I decided to do what I could. For Team Leader Cheon’s victory.”

After finishing her words, Seo Soo-ae bowed her head.

Looking at Seo Soo-ae, Cheon Jong-hoon realized why he did not feel joy even after the fall of Sun Taeyang and the Girl Revolution.

He wasn’t taking the opportunity to blow away his competition. For the first time in his life his his his, he lost his rival his his.

And without even having a chance to fight.

My pride was hurt.

Even more than when Sun Taeyang made a provocation.

Cheon Jong-Hoon spoke without hesitation in his emotional anger

“Yes, I won’t deny that attitude was seen. Sun Taeyang, that guy is a thing. That guy and Midwinter’s group, Girl’s Revolution, are also very good. Success is certain, and it makes sense to discuss how fast it will be.”

“…”

“Honestly, the word ‘rival’ came to mind. I didn’t want to admit it, but now that I’ve seen the results, I have to. He’s a worthy guy. … By the way. I felt excited about it, not afraid. That’s right, because I have confidence in the music I’ve been building up until now!”

A chilling voice rang through the office.

“Did you think I couldn’t surpass him?”

Seo Soo-ae’s trembling eyes began to spread throughout her body.

“Of course I believe you will, but just in case…”

“Haha… , At least once?”

Cheon Jong-hun sneered slightly.

“In the end, you didn’t trust me.”

Seo Soo-ae, who was extremely embarrassed by Cheon Jong-hoon’s words her her, trembled and spoke as if she was begging.

“That was never, absolutely not my intention. I am… I am simply for Team Leader Cheon…”

“Forget the trivial excuses and prepare to return home.”

From noble mtl dot come

After finishing her speech, Cheon Jong-hoon completely took his eyes off Seo Soo-ae and gave her an order to congratulate her as if she had lost interest.

“Because there is no place for you here anymore.”

***

Left alone in his office, Cheon Jong-hun stared blankly at the window.

“…”

I was devastated.

It felt like something I was aiming for suddenly appeared due to a natural disaster.

‘Is it really just for this ending?’

During the past period, Cheon Jong-hun worked more energetically than at any other time in his life.

He independently fuzzed the sound source, which had already been confirmed by the producing and art teams, as well as the directors of SS, and verified, changed, edited, and strengthened it to perfection. That’s how he prepared the greatest masterpiece of his life

If this was Alcest, he didn’t know how scary he was and he was confident that he would be able to take the crown from Revolutionary Girl, who was climbing towards first place. Cheon Jong-Hoon looked forward to the proof that that collision would blossom into something more than ever. But his ending was so vain.

A phone call came to Cheon Jong-hoon, who was filled with feelings of despair and helplessness and was only letting his thoughts flow.

“… What’s going on?”

-Team Leader Cheon. There is someone looking for the team leader. Shall I upload it?

“Who is it?”

-It is said to be the Sun Taeyang of Two Bear.

Cheon Jong-Hoon jumped up from his seat unconsciously.

He asked, not noticing the smile that had begun to bloom on his lips

“What is the reason you came here?”

As soon as Cheon Jong-hun’s words were delivered, the sound of something arguing could be heard over the phone. The only thing I could roughly understand was a subordinate asking, ‘Are you really saying that?’

“Tell it like it is, without adding or subtracting anything.”

-… If you don’t want to search together, open the door.

The moment he heard the answer, Cheon Jong-hoon burst into laughter.

Cheon Jong-hoon, who laughed heartily and coolly swore that you were a crazy b*stard, spoke into the receiver.

“Send it up.”
