Producer with no Regrets - Chapter 784

Episode 784

There was no particular reason why Seongpil made a pact not to date.

It’s because I don’t want to think about anything other than my idol. No, it’s rude to keep thinking about my idol even though I love someone else.

But if the promise of love is made after three years, that is, after the oath ends, then there is no reason to refuse, right?

‘If Seiko loves me, there’s no need to push me away.’

It’s not like Seiko needs to get permission from Sungpil to have feelings for him.

‘You’ll give Seiko-san her life back? And in doing so, you’ll save Seiko-san?’

What an arrogant thought that was.

If you want to save her, wouldn’t it be enough to show her the smallest kindness while she’s in love?

‘He’s the one who waited for me for three years.’

Wouldn’t a very small reward be okay? And by doing so, Sungpil would also be putting chains on himself.

It’s a kind of engagement.

No, it’s not a promise of marriage, it’s a promise of love. It’s a promise of love.

‘So now it’s mutual love.’

Of course, nothing will change from before. Seongpil will still be bound by the oath.

The oath is not simply a promise made to the Girls’ League, but rather a restriction that Seongpil puts on himself.

The new chance at life he had been given by God. He vowed never to waste it.

Seongpil did not return to the past to love. He returned to the past to fulfill his dream.

‘If we maintain the same relationship as before… … .’

It’s a little bit of a relief for Seiko.

When I rejected her first confession. When I rejected her second confession on our first date.

Of course, Sungpil was not at ease either. If he was at ease, why would he cry? If he had no feelings for her, why would he be in pain?

‘This is it.’

If you just tell Seiko to wait and wait, everyone will be happy.

After 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years.

Only when everything is over can you fully answer her heart.

Yeah, three years later… … .

‘I’m sorry, Director Paku! I’d rather have a handsome band member than Director Paku who’s withered and worn out!’

“No!”

“Huh?!”

Seongpil suddenly came to his senses.

“No, no!”

“What, what is it… … ?”

Because of Seiko’s declaration of freezing, I had a sweet dream for a moment. I even had the very naive thought that it was okay to answer her right now.

No matter how much I think about it… … .

‘Three years is too long.’

Is there any guarantee that Seiko’s heart will not change in the meantime? Is there any guarantee that a new relationship will not appear for her? Is there any chance that she will fall in love with her destiny?

If that moment comes, Seiko’s promise with Sungpil will become a useless chain. She will experience new suffering.

Answering her mind right now is not the way to save her.

‘Am I God? Do I know what the future holds? Even married couples who have a sense of responsibility cheat, so who knows what will happen between us two who have no responsibility? What kind of restrictions are there between us across the ocean?’

Besides, is there any guarantee that Sungpil himself won’t change his mind?

What if, when he meets her three years later, what fills Sungpil’s heart is not a hot flame, but only ashes left behind?

Can we say that accepting Seiko’s feelings at that time is the right path for both her and Seongpil?

When he thought about it that way, Seongpil made a very sensible decision.

‘Seiko is not normal.’

That’s what happened with the declaration of egg freezing. Above all, isn’t it still too early to do something like that?

I guess I learned it from Misato.

According to Seo Yu-seon, their marriage will take place after Misato focuses more on her career.

I’ve never heard of a DINK couple, so of course they’d have children and would have planned how to do so.

Seiko must have heard that method somewhere and followed it because she thought it would be nice.

‘I’m really not in my right mind.’

Accepting her heart is not the only skill.

Above all, if she starts a new life with a handsome band member during the promise period, Sungpil will fall into despair and become a hikikomori.

“Seiko, it’s burdensome to hear you say that.”

Seongpil conveyed his opinions very quickly, accurately, and coolly.

“Our promise is that we will stop by Seiko’s house for dinner in three years. Adding more restrictions like this is not helpful to either of us, especially Seiko!”

“Me… … ?”

“What if Seiko-san’s destined partner appears? Can you guarantee that it won’t happen? Someone much younger, better looking, and richer than me could appear! Right?!”

“Don’t run away!”

“… … ?!”

Seiko, on the other hand, became angry.

“If a woman says something like that, you should just listen and kiss her!”

Beyond losing his temper, he began making unreasonable demands.

Seongpil also responded with the same tension as her.

“That’s sexist! It’s anachronistic to impose social and cultural obligations on one sex!”

“Then, to avoid being anachronistic, I will go from my side!”

“Hey, don’t come any closer!”

Seiko’s movements suddenly stopped.

Seongpil realized his mistake too late. He had reacted too harshly.

For example, if Sungpil approaches Hong Gyuheon to blow air in his ear as a joke and she screams at him not to come closer, how would Sungpil feel?

It’s probably like Seiko’s expression right now.

“this person……!”

No, that won’t be the case.

Seiko’s face became filled with sorrow, like that of a five-year-old child who had not gotten what she wanted. Anger was slowly forming in her eyes, tears slowly spreading.

Seongpil apologized belatedly.

“I, I’m sorry. I was so surprised just now… … .”

“Isn’t it time for Director Paku to be like that to me?”

“Why, why?”

Seongpil got scared and turned on the recording function on his phone. He was afraid that Seiko might burst into tears and say that she had been sexually harassed.

Although I felt disgusted at myself for imagining such things to someone who loved me, I honestly didn’t think the possibility of it happening was zero.

Seongpil has recently become wary of Bugbug Miyoko’s pink business, and his sense for this has developed.

“You know what will happen if Tomoe wins at New Asa, right?”

Tomoe wins in New Asa.

Tomoe beats Seiko.

then…….

“Yeah, it looks like you’ve figured it out. It’s going to be exactly like what happened with the Girls’ League.”

It will become one of the most popular in Japan. And that will be a huge obstacle to Himura’s plans.

The fame built up through ‘Girls’ League X Bugbug Invasion!’ could be reversed in an instant.

“I could have lost on purpose. So, Director Paku is in a position where he should be praying for my victory with all his heart! He might even be begging for help instead of just praying! He’s not in a position where he can be this cruel to me!”

“If that happens, I will despise Seiko.”

“Uh, uh, I’m sorry. I, I was just saying that. I didn’t mean it… …!”

Seongpil felt relieved.

Since the word ‘defeat’ comes out of Seiko’s mouth playfully, it seems like there’s really no need to worry about her.

She is truly prepared for defeat. It seems unlikely that anything like what happened three years ago will happen again.

‘It’s true that you’ve been receiving treatment diligently.’

Well, Misato would have taken care of it well. She’s the one who cares about Seiko more than anyone else in this world.

“Do you have to go to New Asa?”

“Okay. I’ll go out.”

“……all right.”

Finally, Seongpil gave up trying to persuade her.

It wasn’t because Seiko was stubborn. I decided that it was okay to truly trust her.

“I find it hard to believe that Seiko-san will lose. I hope she finishes filming well… … .”

“No, I might lose.”

A chill ran down Seongpil’s spine.

It was creepy. Was Tomoe really an opponent that Seiko could confidently defeat?

‘Even Seiko, who is called the ‘Queen of Songs’, is a vocalist who can’t guarantee victory?’

Indeed, Misato is the artist who raises the second Kafu. Maybe this will become a huge problem… … .

“But I think I can win if Director Paku cheers me on. Specifically, I hope he grants me a favor when I win.”

“… … .”

Yeah, there’s no way Seiko would lose in a vocalist competition. She’s not even the same person she was three years ago.

Three years ago, Seiko had not honed her skills as a vocalist at all.

But now, he must have been faithfully receiving rehabilitation under Misato’s strict supervision.

There’s nothing Tomoe can do, as she’s just a runny nose compared to Seiko.

“Please? I’ll listen.”

“Please kiss me with your tongue.”

“Yes, Director Himura, please come in now!”

“Oh, wait, wait, wait! I have a serious request!”

“How is that a serious request?”

“You said you could do it when we dated before?!”

“Listen carefully, Seiko. I haven’t kissed anyone in almost ten years.”

“to.”

“So I’m kind of in a half-first kiss state. But I wouldn’t kiss a woman I’m not even dating.”

“So, then you were arguing with a lady’s heart?!”

“I told you back then that I was just asking. Seiko was the one who asked first, and I clearly refused.”

“… … unexpectedly.”

Seiko, who was on the verge of jumping for joy, suddenly calmed down.

“I remember it exactly.”

“… … .”

“Director Paku, you told me then, right? You said you had fun with me. It still seems that way now. That’s why I won’t give up on you, Director Paku. If you really don’t like me, tell me now. Then I won’t stick around anymore.”

She seemed like a completely different person from the Seiko I had been talking to up until now. She was finally exuding an air of dignity befitting her age.

And that made Seongpil quite embarrassed.

“Do you hate me?”

“… … That kind of question.”

“What kind of question is that?”

“It’s fatal. The questions you ask me every time we meet are really fatal. If you do this… … Seiko-san will be the only one who suffers. If the destined partner really does appear… … .”

“Don’t worry about that, it’s already in front of me. That’s why… … .”

Seiko stood up from her seat.

“Every year I break my promise and come to see Director Paku. Every time I come, my hopes grow. And I know that.”

Seiko came up next to Sungpil and put her hand on his shoulder. Then she brought her mouth to his ear.

“What Director Paku is afraid of is my heart changing? If you respond to my heart and then my heart changes three years later, it will be unbearably painful, so you keep pushing me away. Don’t worry. I won’t make you worry.”

Seiko blew wind into Seongpil’s ear. Then she straightened her back and walked towards the door.

“I will confirm my feelings like this every year. Director Paku, you just have to keep your feelings for me from fading away. Do you understand?”

She finally opened the office door and went out. Seongpil had no choice but to sit still.

After some time had passed, Himura came in. He let out a long sigh.

“So this is how it ended up. Even Director Park couldn’t stop it. What did that Misato do… … . I’m sorry Director Park for giving me your time. If you haven’t eaten yet, I’ll get you something to eat. Shall we go?”

“Oh, that, just a moment.”

“yes?”

“Just a minute, I, I want to sit down… … .”

“Oh, yes.”

What on earth were they talking about?

As Himura could only see his back, it was difficult to know exactly what he was thinking.

From Sungpil’s hunched back, Himura could see the agony he was experiencing that he couldn’t fathom.

“Would you please sit down and listen? I have something to discuss.”

“Would you like to persuade Seiko further? I would like to help, but I can’t think of anything else.”

“No, that’s something else. Director Park, if Seiko sings a song for the Girls’ League, would you help her?”

“yes?”

Seongpil turned his head sharply and looked at Himura.

Himura could guess that there must be a reason why he couldn’t get up, so he went over and sat down across from him.

“I want to make Seiko an idol.”

“Are idols easy?”
