Rockstar Again - Chapter 105



Only Noblemtl

Episode 105. A rolling stone gathers no moss (5)

There was a scene like that in some drama.

The person who knows the most about the backstory of a conglomerate is the conglomerate’s chauffeur.

Well, that’s true.

If you think about it, it’s only natural.

Closest.

Because he is someone I spend every day with.

There are people like him among celebrities.

‘manager…….’

A being that moves by becoming the hands and feet of a celebrity, with each day spent together.

Very rarely.

This kind of situation often appears in dramas.

They reveal their secrets without holding back, even though they have a chauffeur accompanying them.

I guess it might be because we are that close… … .

‘Yeah… … It’s in the drama, right? What did the driver say with his mouth hanging openly? … ‘

Or go to prison for the chaebol’s brutal revenge.

Or go up to the sky with a bullet hole in your head.

I rolled over the drum with only my hair showing above it and went straight into the sea… … .

I wonder if Dong-ha would go that far… …but you never know.

Park Soo-chan’s throat was parched, so he spoke very carefully.

I took a sip of soju from a paper cup.

Brrrrrr… … .

‘Oh my… … Why are my hands shaking so much… … .’

It’s such a shocking scene.

“Donghae. No, Donggu, this Tsuaki. Are you out of your mind or not?”

Dong-ha, a rookie who just debuted and turned 21 this year, is talking about this kid, that kid in front of the rock legend Choi Dong-hae.

So what was Choi Dong-hae’s reaction?

Park Soo-chan’s eyes turned to Choi Dong-hae, barely able to hold onto his trembling hand.

“… … I’m sorry, brother. I did it because I liked it too much… … .”

Choi Dong-hae apologizes while sitting down, almost like he is bending over like a folder.

The tiger of Joseon rock.

Charismatic rock vocalist.

The pride of Korean rock.

Etc., whatever, if you put something good or strong on it, that was Choi Dong-hae’s nickname.

‘What the heck is this? Why is Choi Dong-hae doing this to Dong-ha?’

Although most of the people I’ve managed before were idols, I’ve eaten over thirty-forty-five bowls of rice as a celebrity manager. Anyway, I’m talking about eating a lot.

Because he was such a Park Soo-chan, he knows well how high Choi Dong-hae’s name is.

Idol?

They only fight over rank when they’re among themselves, and when Choi Dong-hae comes out, there’s not a single one of them who sticks their butt out there.

Even if the kids are a little bit reckless, they know that there are people who should not be messed with…

Park Soo-chan’s eyes were focused somewhere in the air, and he thought back to when he had just taken on his first idol as a road manager.

Time is now… … So, was it about 10 years ago… …?

There was one idol who was quite successful and got infected with the so-called celebrity disease early. At that time, Choi Dong-hae, who had just made a comeback with his 9th album, appeared on a music show and went around visiting waiting rooms here and there as if he was patrolling, saying hello… … .

What happened to that member who just crossed his legs and nodded his head while receiving the CD that Choi Dong-hae handed him?

“By the way, Mr. Suchan, we’re old friends, right?”

I wish you would just pretend not to know.

Choi Dong-hae sees Park Soo-chan and speaks to him.

“Ah… … Yes… … It’s been a while. I’m afraid it’s been… … 10 years.”

“This guy, Tsuaki. He’s beating around the bush while my brother is talking.”

It’s the same.

“No, I’m just happy to see you. There aren’t many people who’ve been around this long. I don’t know about you, hyung.”

I don’t know why it feels so natural, but these two look so natural together.

He kicked out CEO Gu Se-ryeong and Director Hong Seon-ah just like that, but he still wonders why he was left behind.

Isn’t it?

I guess I just stayed quiet in the corner, like Sinaburo… … .

I thought about it earlier, but surprisingly, there is something like that.

Because being together is so natural, they are like the tycoons in dramas who tell secrets without any problem even when they have a chauffeur.

Even if they have a manager, are there idols who only talk among themselves?

That’s too much.

anyway.

Lee Dong-ha clicked his tongue and tore the squid body apart, putting it in his mouth.

“But where have we seen it before? It definitely feels like a long time ago.”

Park Soo-chan opened his mouth, searching his memory to answer Choi Dong-hae’s questions.

“I met him 10 years ago on Music Story. At that time, he had come back with his 9th album and appeared on a music show for the first time in a long time… … The singer I was in charge of was Niceis… … .”

“Nices?”

“Why… … I just nodded to my senior and that day there was chaos… … .”

“Terrible?”

“At that time, Eun-soo Hwang, who was behind the senior, got so angry that she turned the waiting room upside down… … and even slapped him… … .”

“Ah… … Eun-soo… … ! I remember. Eun-soo, she really liked me, so it was kind of like that.”

Choi Dong-hae answers nonchalantly and smiles.

That’s why the idols after that had such strict military discipline.

Ballad singer Hwang Eun-soo, who had always said that her senior was Choi Dong-hae, was following Choi Dong-hae excitedly as the broadcast just happened to be happening.

My eyes turned and I caught the idol like a rat.

Even though a popular idol got slapped, the CEO of Nice Company who chased after him apologized instead… … This is because he knew that the reason Hwang Eun-soo was angry was because he was being arrogant towards Choi Dong-hae.

Location.

phase.

It was probably because it was obvious that not only celebrities who grew up listening to Choi Dong-hae’s music, but also the 30-40 generation that became the driving force of the industry would take up bamboo spears.

The so-called national OO.

Park Soo-chan realized then that those who had the prefix ‘citizen’ in front of them were not to be messed with.

As Park Soo-chan and Choi Dong-hae finish recalling their memories, Lee Dong-ha throws down the squid body he was chewing.

“You crazy little punk… … If you say you’re sorry after causing an accident, is that all? If word gets out and I get arrested by the screws, will you come save me? Do you want the acacia flowers on the orchard road outside the Donggu to bloom in full bloom?”

“You’re saying the obvious. Yes. I’ll go get him.”

“… … You speak well.”

“I’m not just saying that, hyung. You don’t know what you were to me. I’m usually embarrassed to say things like that, but you were Michael Jackson and Jordan to me.”

“… … Oh, goosebumps. Is it because everyone has gotten old that they say such creepy things so casually?”

Park Soo-chan had the idea that he shouldn’t think deeply about celebrities. That’s why he gained a reputation in the industry as a good manager, but not anymore.

Inevitably, one picture is being drawn.

‘This isn’t just a free-spirited thing, is it?’

It was strange, though.

It’s even stranger that I hear Chairman Yoon Tae-joo, Brother Young-pil, and Brother Dong-sik talking every day, and it’s not strange at all.

The atmosphere was weird when I was kicked out of the waiting room before today’s performance. Now it’s just completely weird.

“Hyung, let’s have a drink too.”

Then, Lee Dong-ha pours soju into Park Soo-chan’s paper cup.

“Uh… … Ah… … .”

“Why are you thinking so much and looking at me like that?”

“No. I don’t have any clue.”

“Brother Schan.”

“huh?”

I look at Dong-ha in a calm voice, trying my best not to show my feelings.

“I’m a time traveler. Strictly speaking, I only brought a one-way ticket, so this is a short-term long-term stay. Am I an illegal immigrant? Anyway, I was born in 1976.”

“Somehow. But then, should I call you ‘hyung’ too?”

“What about you, hyung? We haven’t even met before. Why are you reacting like that? Do you really believe it in one shot?”

“I had a vague idea. There’s no other way to explain it.”

At Park Soo-chan’s words, Lee Dong-ha laughed so hard that the world seemed to disappear.

“You guys are all out of your minds, haha. Are you just going to believe this?”

That’s what it was like after watching it closely for over half a year.

If you think of yourself as a time traveler, all the things that seemed strange up until now will be resolved at once.

Choi Dong-hae’s attitude of smiling and tilting a paper cup is also great.

But one thing I’m curious about has come to mind.

Since Park Soo-chan had already heard the coming out story, he opened his mouth with the help of alcohol, even if it was just a little bit.

“But… …Why did you tell me when you didn’t tell CEO Koo?”

Lee Dong-ha laughed like a child at Park Soo-chan’s words.

“I just thought that would be okay, hyung.”

* * *

I was kicked out of the practice room and in the car heading home.

Ta-ah.

The savior bit his fingernails.

Looking at that savior, Hong Seon-ah, who was holding the steering wheel, opened her mouth slightly.

“Director?”

Exactly.

“… … .”

“Director? Are you okay?”

“Huh? Yeah… … It’s okay. No, it’s not okay. What do you think?”

As expected, there is no space between lines.

But the context makes sense when we read them together.

“Strange… … I guess so?”

“Right? Choi Dong-hae clearly said that to Dong-ha. He called him Dong-ha hyung. Has the world gone crazy? Am I the only one who’s normal? That can’t be right, right?”

Hong Seon-ah laughed bitterly.

If it were the other way around, it could be so.

The world is normal, but the Savior is crazy.

But if it involves moving, it’s a different story.

It is clear that the area around Idoha is abnormal.

“I heard that too. You called Dong-ha hyung.”

“Ha… … This is driving me crazy. Does Choi Dong-hae have a mental illness or something? Maybe find out.”

“yes.”

“… … Or maybe Dong-ha uses some kind of hypnosis? Is that even possible?”

The words of the Savior keep going to the mountain.

But I understand.

Impossible.

If you want to interpret a situation that you don’t understand, you have to go to the mountains.

But I couldn’t agree.

Because Hong Seon-ah was a person who pursued reason.

“… … .”

“When you see her perform, it’s like that. Even if you’re not a fan, everyone shakes and screams like they’re crazy. There’s a chance… … .”

Hong Seon-ah couldn’t immediately accept this either.

As the old man said, it’s not impossible. If you think about it that way, the questions about moving can be somewhat answered.

But it is only a possibility, tens of thousands. It is not a question of possibility that even viewers on small cell phones will be captivated.

“Could it be that he time traveled? The older brother who was in the accident that the CEO mentioned was actually Lee Dong-ha. He used to make music with the current members, and then got back together after time travel… … If you think about it, Choi Dong-hae knew Dong-ha before time travel. Considering their ages, it seems like they’re pretty close.”

“… … What about his father? He time traveled, so why is his father here?”

It’s weird to be called Nureongi, but anyway, I have a real-life father.

If time travel is true, then Lee Dong-ha’s father in the present life should be in his 70s or 80s.

“I’m sorry. I just didn’t understand it, so I imagined something ridiculous.”

“Ha… … This is really frustrating, I’m going crazy.”

Ta-ah.

Again, the Savior’s nails met his teeth and made a sound.

Exactly!

“Oh! That’s right!”

The old man sprang to his feet, feeling pain as he felt the seat belt across his chest.

“?”

“Don’t you think Dong-ha has a mother? He gets married and has children by himself? No, right?”

“ah…….”

“Go check with your mom in America.”

“All right.”

Hong Seon-ah answered briefly.

to be honest.

At first, I couldn’t understand why the Savior was so curious about everything about Lee Dong-ha.

But at this point, it is inevitable that Hong Seon-ah becomes curious.

Right?

Because everything around you is abnormal.

Another instruction is given to Hong Seon-ah.

“Send a thank you gift to PD Ahn. Nothing personal. Um… … A meal for the entire staff, or something like that… Coffee and a car would be fine.”
