If You Raise Three Idols Well, They Will Confess Their Love - Chapter 209



209 – Trust Me

Episode 209

I told a long story.

To my embarrassment, there was a child named Oh Yu-ri who attacked me at every moment when I was weakest.

Although it was difficult and embarrassing, it was a very good conversation. We’ll have to talk more later though…

Anyway, it was a great help in organizing and objectifying myself.

After the conversation with her, I was alone on her balcony and said to myself with a strange feeling.

“It’s half scent and half stench. … “I’m a very complicated person too.”

It was understandable why Cheon A-ram said that he had not seen anyone else than me and Oh Yu-ri in the so-called sweat-smelling case.

That’s right, it’s rare to find a crazy person who holds both the desire to sacrifice for others and the desire to sacrifice others for oneself so firmly that they can be called ‘values’.

“… But things have changed.”

After being betrayed and losing everything in the first round, I decided to change.

I will not be a good person who is easily taken advantage of, but a selfish person who only thinks about my own success.

Maybe it was my nature to act like a brat, but things didn’t go as planned, but I guess I changed as I followed all of the quest’s selfish ways.

It wasn’t completely changed, but in a vague state.

Half and half.

From noble mtl dot come

I had doubts and thought it wouldn’t be the case, but I became a little more aware of it through a conversation with Oh Yuri.

That was a very objective evaluation.

That’s right, because I felt like I was greatly shaken right now.

Like Cheon A-ram said, I felt like I wanted to run away and get a new opportunity at SS.

As I always said, I also felt like I wanted to protect children who would be hurt by the crashing waves.

I was shaking, unable to find any direction.

“… Let’s go first.”

Even though I couldn’t even come up with an answer, I kept moving forward.

I just walked to the conference room using only the fragmentary information that Cheon A-ram had mentioned that the time had come.

I don’t even know what to say there.

***

A meeting was in progress in the conference room.

I came in as carefully as I could so as not to disturb them.

They seemed so engrossed in the meeting that they didn’t even notice that I had cautiously entered the room, so they each raised their voices and asserted their opinions without even turning their attention to me.

Among them, James O, who was screaming with his face bright red, hit the desk with a ‘thud’ and said.

“I declare that I will sue all the media companies that caused this! We are going to compete head-on with the haters targeting Director Seon and the children! “Let’s have a real-life battle where one of the two who gave up when the company went bankrupt will die!”

Isabella tilted her head and asked.

“… James, I agree with the idea that the protection of the children and Director Sun should be the top priority, but is it okay to fight like that when not only the media company but also half of the entire country will become haters?”

“Whether it works or not, I have to do it. “Then, are you irresponsibly neglecting the children and Director Seon?”

Jo Na-rae agreed with that and Seo Soo-yeon continued.

“Yes, you shouldn’t apologize now. The company must be a shield. There must be a breakwater against this wave of public opinion so that fall, summer, winter, and Director Seon can survive.”

“I think an apology should be made. However, I think it would be better to change direction by confusing information rather than poor management.”

“What about this?”

“They say it was a marketing mistake. In fact, the interview the three of us did go viral, briefly showing the world view of the next album, but it was Two Bear’s fault for not anticipating the ramifications that would arise due to the shortcomings of the method.”

Song Yo-han laughed and agreed.

“That, the company will be cursed to death. Stock prices will also fall vertically. … Instead, it will serve as a breakwater to a great extent. I really like it!”

Then Seok Hyeon-woo shook his head and said.

“Well. The direction is good, but in the process, the children and Director Seon can be criticized. Even if a request was made, shouldn’t you have thought it through and blocked it? While doing it. So, if I’ m going to be a villain, I think it would be better to do it more clearly. Two Bear tried to maintain an exploitative contract with Revolutionary Girls in an illegal manner, but even the media outlets blocked it, so the children tried to publicize the “How about this?”

“But isn’t our contract treatment good?”

“Manipulate it, whatever.”

“Wow, Two Bear will just turn into dust. … Should we do it right away?”

Cheon A-ram clicked his tongue while listening to those ridiculous claims.

“No, talking about ideas is all good, but we need to think of a more realistic plan!”

“We are all talking seriously… “Then, have you thought of any realistic plan?”

“… After declaring that he would sue Director Seon and all of the slanderous and profanity directed at him and his children, he withdrew from the business and went all-in on the Japanese branch? “We make good money there too, right?”

“Hey, as expected! This is the judgment of a boss. “Let’s give everyone a round of applause.”

They seemed to be surprisingly impressed and not joking, so they stood up and clapped, and Cheon A-ram laughed as if she was scratching her head and approving it.

Did you say that if a situation doesn’t make sense beyond a certain point, it goes beyond embarrassment and makes you laugh?

But what they saw now was beyond that and was not even funny.

The content of the discussion that followed was similar.

They were so serious that they were looking for a way to protect my children and me, even if it meant destroying the company.

“…”

Seeing that scene reminded me of the old days.

Before returning from the first episode, the company I created was about to collapse due to the fraud between Flower Entertainment and Ban Sang-cheol.

That moment when I was desperately clinging to everyone I thought had done me a favor in order to somehow protect the company and the artists.

‘Mint… , No, Jiwon. Please help me Please include our children in the event you are attending this time. It’s okay if you don’t get paid! All we have to do is let people know that we are still active!’

‘Taeyang, thank you for preventing a scandal in the past, and I understand how you feel. I feel like my agency doesn’t want me. I think it would be difficult to listen to. I’ve just moved to another company, so it’s hard to ask because I’m trying to get used to it. I’m sorry.’

Mint, who I discovered and raised to become a successful singer.

‘Producer Kim, please let Grace participate in this music show just once! Do you know how our Grace’s music performance was? Anything that’s a bit confusing right now can be easily solved once it airs! Please help me just once. I won’t forget this favor!’

‘Master Seon. Do you know that this can be considered a lobby? Requesting to put it on broadcast could lead to legal action. … When I started my career, did you help me recruit celebrities from my agency? You’re acting shamefully. It was a win-win! At that time, you had a blast with Leo’s image change, right? Anyway, this type of contact is inconvenient, so please refrain from contacting us in the future.’

PD Kim Han-soo also failed in company politics, but survived with my help.

‘Jinwoo, can you give me one of the songs you left out as a B cut back then? You also said at that time that it would be good to sing a Seri ballad. Things aren’t easy, but I think I can knock on doors here and there if I just release one single. Help me just this once.’

‘I’m telling you this because I received something, but quite a few entertainment companies told me to blacklist my brother and other singers. They say we shouldn’t set a precedent or something. No matter how hard you try, it will probably be difficult to get the song. Don’t lose your energy and find something else to do.’

Oh Jin-woo, the composer who was able to protect his copyright with my help.

Everyone ignored me.

At that time, I thought I had been betrayed because I had become worthless.

Even though I gave everything I had to gain people’s favor, I failed and became worthless, so I thought all my relationships fell apart.

So I tried to succeed.

I promised myself that I would do everything in my power to achieve my own success so that no one would consider me worthless and that my value would never disappear again.

Yes, I tried to be a selfish person.

But it seems that that idea was fundamentally wrong.

I was selfish from the beginning.

From the first time I was confident that it was good.

While doing favors for others and sharing my own, I chose the object of that favor.

Maybe not at first. However, the ‘choice’ gradually became clearer.

To the person who whispers sweeter words to me, to the person who seems to be more helpful to me, without even considering what kind of person that person is, I blindly get drunk on the sweetness of the moment.

It was not a good thing, an altruistic act, or sharing what was mine with others.

It was just a deal. My time, effort, and money were sold cheaply for momentary favors and flattery.

So in the previous episode, I wasn’t betrayed, I just failed.

… However, it looks like I did not fail this time.

“Uh? Is Director Seon here? You’ve arrived just in time. Sit here… “Wait a minute, are you crying, Chief Seon?”

“Yes? Director Seon? Divination… Are you okay?”

“Oh my, you’re crying, it’s so sad, what should I do… Hey, James, this is all because you’re giving such stupid opinions and you’re making me feel insecure and at a loss!”

“Is that really what it is? Uh… , Sorry. That… I don’t know if it will comfort you, but I will shake off the priest and bring the lawyers back as good friends.”

“Are you really anxious? Please rest assured. “We will do whatever we can.”

“You’re right. Even if we all have to pack our bags and wake up at Two Bear, we will protect the children and Director Seon at all costs! We all owe something to Director Seon, so we have to do that!”

“Well, I agree with that, but really, aren’t we all going to be in debt?”

“Then, let’s try it one more time. We came this far from nothing, right? “Can’t you do it twice?”

Hehe, did you hear? Director Seon?”

Cheon A-ram said with a small smile as he saw his colleagues fidgeting and pouring out one word at a time.

“Trust us.”

“…”

They comforted me with an awkward laugh, as if they knew how they looked like this.

On top of that, James Oh went a step further and was making a phone call somewhere to see if he wanted to hire a real lawyer, and Seo Soo-yeon was looking at me hesitantly, taking a handkerchief out of her arms.

Thanks to them, I realized it.

I didn’t just fail.

It was a success.

Life, life and goals.

I roughly wiped away the flowing tears with my sleeve and spoke with confidence.

“I have a plan.”

There was no more shaking.
