If You Raise Three Idols Well, They Will Confess Their Love - Chapter 198



198 – Last Concert

Episode 198

Smoke rose into the sky from a small balcony.

Adding a little gray to the overcast sky, I continued to think.

“Is it time for a break?”

“… “You must be Soo-yeon.”

Seo Soo-yeon stepped onto the one-pyeong balcony, took out an electronic cigarette from her arms, and smoked it like I did.

“Didn’t you hang up?”

“I think you might get bored smoking alone.”

“… It’s not exactly like that, but I’ll be grateful for your sentiments.”

Seo Su-yeon asked, wafting the sweet scent of strawberries.

“Do you have any concerns?”

“I always live my life worrying. Because it’s my habit to get upset.”

“Are you worried about the children?”

“…”

In fact, it wasn’t even a story about being expensive now.

I looked at the cloudy sky with cloudy eyes and spoke calmly.

“I once again faced the reality that my time with the Girls Revolutionary children could not continue.”

“Did you come up with that thought because there wasn’t much time left before the contract ended?”

“That’s right. “Before, I thought it was a given that I could renew the contract, but now I realize that might not be what the kids want.”

Idols have a short lifespan. In the meantime, it could be said that he has already lived a long enough life to have successfully worked for 7 years.

However, I did not have that objective perception and just looked at the next thing.

All my actions lately have been for the sake of that.

“Actually, putting so much effort into the concert was part of my desire to impress the children. “Two Bear may be small in size, but it was a form of flattery that said we were not an agency that would treat others worse than others.”

“…”

“So, I’m asking you to renew my contract again…” ” ” No, the town asks you to think of it positively. Yes, it was a townhouse.”

Seo Soo-yeon turned off the electronic cigarette and looked at the sky like me.

And she said.

“I guess that was the reason for your recent dangerous approach.”

“… What if it’s a dangerous approach?”

“Savers, 2SE, producer Park Kang-chan, actor Yeom Kyeong-woo, variety show Girls Daejeon, things like this.”

“…”

These were all cases where I endured criticism for being immoral in accordance with the demands of the quest.

“I tried my best not to get caught, but everything was known.”

“Don’t be discouraged. “I wouldn’t have known if it wasn’t for what I heard from President Cheon.”

“Haha… “It’s comforting.”

Seo Soo-yeon looked at me laughing helplessly and spoke politely.

“It was all effective. Since I am in charge of finance, I can say this with certainty. Director Sun’s actions brought great benefits to the group called Girls’ Revolution. But… , It was difficult to understand why Director Seon took on so much risk and responsibility alone. Even without that, Director Seon’s achievements are already great and no one will deny that.”

“It was something like an obsession.”

“Obsessed?”

“Yes, I thought that if I did not choose the option that was in the best interest of the children among the options available at that moment, there would be no reason for those children to remain at Two Bear, or for me as a manager .”

Yuri, fall, winter, and summer are all children with the greatest talent.

These are kids who will do well wherever they go, and they are professionals who can do well.

That’s why what they always need is Two Bear… , No, it was me.

“So I chose only the best I could. It wasn’t a consideration how I would be affected. I thought that was the minimum qualification to be next to the best idol, Revolutionary Girl. But lately, I’ve been thinking that maybe that’s just my greed.”

“… Why?”

“Children may want to stop being idols.”

Renewal of contract and repeated success.

Girl Revolution’s fandom is growing and growing.

Best example of a long-lived idol.

It was what I wanted.

‘I’, not the children.

“It may have been too much of an expectation for me to assume that the children would continue their activities. The time as a revolutionary girl standing in front of the public and being judged and judged again may have been painful. An oppressive way of managing and banning malicious comments, scandals, strict standards, meals, entertainment, leisure, and all the things we take for granted. … If this is not pain, what is pain?”

No matter how much Two Bear said it had a policy of releasing people freely and respecting individual autonomy, the agency was still an agency. It has been suppressed to the extent that it seems sufficient to be viewed from a general perspective. They say that’s professional.

“So, asking those kids to join us next time may be a one-sided and self-righteous wish on my part to remain as their manager at Two Bear… , To be exact, I realized once again that there was a high possibility of that happening.”

“Is that what you’re worried about?”

“It’s more of a regret than a worry. Because the answer is already there.”

“What answer did you think of?”

“Letting go.”

Maybe it’s time to stop calling yourself a manager in front of those kids.

At some point, I stopped being a pillar for those children to lean on, and became a weakness they couldn’t let go of.

Seo Su-yeon spoke calmly as she watched me unfold the story contained within without adding or subtracting.

“Children definitely love idols. I can guarantee that after Director Seon, I have seen those children for the longest time. That doesn’t change.”

“…”

“Still, if you have any doubts, you can do what Director Seon does best instead of doing dangerous things that might be hated by children like you are doing now.”

“… “What am I good at?”

All that came to mind were things like being in trouble, being expected, and bragging.

Seo Soo-yeon looked at me like that and said as if she didn’t know why.

“It’s about making people love idols.”

It felt like her heart was pounding and stopping.

“… “I did that?”

“Yes, from the beginning until now, always.”

“No way…”

“Did I tell you that I guarantee that kids love their idols? The reason is because of Director Seon.”

Seo Soo-yeon, the master of the poker face, broke her unchanging expression and smiled sweetly.

“You taught children love.”

From noble mtl dot come

***

There were too many factors that could bring down this fragile girl revolution team.

Still, I could only hope.

I hope that we can continue to work together with these children in the future under the name of Girls’ Revolution.

Seo Su-yeon’s words were vague.

How to do it and how I did it felt far away.

However, thanks to her words, I felt like what I had to do became a little clearer.

It’s not that great.

I will just do my best for my children.

From the past to the present and to the future.

That was it.

Just like that, the day of the last concert before Girls’ Revolution’s contract renewal dawned.

“Wow, it’s Team Leader Seon!”

“You fool, you should call me Director Seon now!”

“That, or something similar.”

“He really doesn’t know anything. “It clearly tells you the difference in salary.”

“… Sorry for being rude. Director Seon.”

I sent the kids who were making a fuss and chanting for Director Seon to the VIP seats.

“Director Sun, where should we go?”

“Oh, I’ll show you your seats. … Mr. Chansung, I have a favor to ask. Please guide these people.”

“Yes, I understand.”

As I was concentrating on work after sending off the invited guests, someone spoke to me.

“I… , Director Seon.”

I turned my head, feeling suspicious of a voice that I felt like I had heard before, but didn’t seem to be an employee.

A nightshade worn lightly over a girl-crush style stage outfit, ash-toned hair dye, and sharp eyes that feel a bit harsh.

Cheon Jong-hoon’s masterpiece and the main vocalist of Alcest, the rival of Revolutionary Girls.

And the main culprit who tormented Winter was Yun-jeong.

I endured the uncomfortable hostility and spoke calmly.

“To the waiting room, turn around to the back and walk straight to the right. Well, I’m busy…”

“No, that’s not it…” ” .”

Yunjeong hesitated, wondering if she had something to say, unlike her usual confident and prickly image

As a result of Cheon Jong-hoon’s kind suggestion, Alcest, with whom I have a bad relationship with the fandom, appeared as a guest at the concert, so I should have been grateful and considerate, but I couldn’t look favorably on Gyeol -ri due to her history of bullying, so I didn’t wait for her to say anything. .

“If you don’t have anything to say, I’ll just leave.”

“That… , I understand that you feel uncomfortable, so please listen to me for a moment. Participating as a guest this time was because I persuaded everyone except Seo-ah to say no.”

“…”

That was quite unexpected.

When I remember how he invaded the SS in the past, caused trouble, and threatened me, I thought that of course that girl, Yunjeong, would have rejected him.

I still felt a sense of rejection as the image of Winter from 7 years ago came to mind in my head, but it seemed like he wasn’t ignoring me by saying something like that, so I nodded as if asking him to speak.＜ Br＞

“I mean, that’s…”

Yunjeong, who was stuttering uncomfortably, said as if she had made up her mind, taking out an autographed fan and my plush toy that she had seen at the last fan meeting.

“I’m a fan of Director Sun!”

“…”

… What kind of bullshit is this?
