Rockstar Again - Chapter 171



Only Noblemtl

Episode 171. How come (4)

About two hours after the sudden dinner meeting of Team A of was held.

Team leader Park Soo-chan, who is working as a full-time employee under Lee Dong-ha, is deeply troubled.

‘You drink too much… … ?’

If you are at a drinking party together, there may be times when you end up drinking a glass or two of alcohol that is offered to you.

So, managers in charge of driving often reserve a separate table to eat and chat.

Just like now.

“… … This guy caught me today… … ?”

“This is a huge hit. When else do you see something like this? Celebrities flirting with celebrities?”

“I’m jealous. Some people are so good-looking that they just drink quietly and women come to them.”

Kim Tae-oh’s manager.

Im Yi-seo’s manager.

There are Oh Se-ra’s manager and actress Lim Ji-yeon’s manager.

Managers don’t necessarily follow the celebrity’s age.

Sometimes young celebrities are assigned older managers.

Sometimes older actors get new managers.

That’s just something that’s fluid depending on the company’s policy or situation.

At this table, Kim Tae-oh’s manager was the oldest, followed by Park Soo-chan.

So, it is naturally flowing into an atmosphere of wait-and-see.

In fact, there are some things we can only wait and see.

In the entertainment industry, the job of a manager is more respected than before, but a manager still plays a shadow role.

It’s not like there was an accident, but you’re just having a good time drinking on set when the manager comes out and says he’s going to take the actor or singer away?

That’s crossing the line.

Especially if it is a place created to foster camaraderie among the filming crew.

That’s why Park Soo-chan fell into deep thought.

‘I wanted to date… but… .’

Lee Dong-ha is not an idol who needs to be controlled by the company. It is not like Cheong-A Entertainment has a policy to block Lee Dong-ha from dating.

But today, moving was a bit… … a lot different.

He is not the usual talkative and playful Lee Dong-ha. He doesn’t say much and just gulps down the alcohol in front of him.

As if he were determined to become addicted to alcohol.

And Im Yi-seo, who is stuck next to Dong-ha, keeps giving him alcohol like a drunk grandpa who tries to save him after making him drink alcohol, which makes him very anxious.

Finally, with Osera joining in, the atmosphere was created where one of the two survivors would win the move. Park Soo-chan made up his mind.

Decided to send a rescue request.

“I… I’m going to the bathroom for a bit.”

I came out of the store and couldn’t remember who to call.

The first thing that came to mind was my band mates, but it was too late to call people with families.

“Who is at a level where it wouldn’t be strange to come to the scene and take Dong-ha with you… …?”

Park Soo-chan was scratching his head while scrolling down his phone contacts when one person caught his eye.

[Representative]

This is the guy.

Who will save Dong-ha?

* * *

It was quite late, past 10pm.

The old man checked the phone of someone who shouldn’t have called at this hour and thought for a moment.

Team leader Park Soo-chan, who is in charge of moving.

There is no reason for such a person to call the representative, Gu Se-ryeong, first, and because of the time, there is only one way to connect.

‘Did Dong-ha have an accident?’

After a moment of thought, Gu Seol-ryeong received a call and was told something completely unexpected.

“hello.”

-Sir. I’m sorry for being late. Ah… … This is Team Leader Park Soo-chan.

“I know. I saved your number.”

-Oh, yes… …That’s right.

“What’s going on? It must be urgent to call at this hour. Did Dong-ha get into an accident?”

-No. It’s not that Dong-ha had an accident… …It’s just that he seemed like he was going to have an accident.

‘huh?’

The old man’s eyebrows furrowed as he wondered what was going on.

In fact, when Team Leader Park Soo-chan’s name appeared on my phone, I was mentally prepared.

If Dong-ha hadn’t caused an accident, he wouldn’t have called at this hour.

But I feel like I might have an accident?

As the CEO of the company, Gu Se-ryeong asked a key question.

“Accurate and fast. Content-oriented.”

-Oh, yes. Dong-ha is drunk. Im-seo and Oh Se-ra are fighting while laughing. It looks like the one who survives will win Dong-ha.

clearly.

I asked for the content to be conveyed accurately and quickly. Team Leader Park Soo-chan also seemed to have conveyed it accurately. But I didn’t understand it at all.

The Savior had to ask a stupid question that was not typical of the Savior.

“……huh?”

—Then I was in a sight of the scene. I’ve never seen it for the first time.

“……and?”

Team Leader Park Soo-chan gave a lengthy briefing to convey this incomprehensible situation as best as possible.

―But then Oh Sera suddenly walked over. She walked over with stride like General Gyebaek about to go to war. And then she sat down. Where Dong-ha and Im Yi-seo were. And then she started drinking again. And she started drinking. To Dong-ha. Dong-ha drank it all up again. And Dong-ha had almost lost his appetite, right? So Im Yi-seo and Oh Sera started arguing again. While laughing. And I’m calling you right now. The atmosphere here… … If I get involved, Dong-ha won’t be able to afford it… … Also… … Teacher Im Ji-yeon… … told me not to interfere with young people’s relationships… … Well… … In that situation, I couldn’t get involved.

Park Soo-chan’s explanation was long and rambling, but that’s why the scene stuck in my head.

“I’ll go. Text me the location.”

-Ah… …You’re coming in person?

“That’s what I called you to tell you to do.”

-That… …yes, I’m sorry… … .

“No. Good. I’ll go.”

The call with Park Soo-chan ended.

Gu Seol-ryeong checked the time as he was about to call Hong Seon-ah out of habit.

‘It’s really late.’

Also, it seems like it might be late.

Hong Seon-ah came.

Carry the Savior and go to where the moving vehicle is?

A route that is bound to have some time delay.

The old man took the car keys himself.

“I have to take care of my artist, what can I do?”

Is this the representative’s intention to take care of the artist?

Is it the anxiety that the jewels that you have been carefully keeping and admiring with your eyes will be stolen by some unexpectedly strict woman?

Even the Savior himself doesn’t know exactly.

Anyway, the Savior took control of the steering wheel for the first time in a very… very long time.

* * *

“Huh… … ? It’s the witch hag… … .”

When Gu Seol-ryeong arrived at the dinner venue, she grabbed Lee Dong-ha’s wrist. Without even checking his face, Lee Dong-ha smiled.

A drooping head. And you couldn’t even see the face because of the hanging hair.

‘Do you know it by hearing the voice?’

The Savior spoke to Lee Dong-ha again.

I thought we could at least have a conversation.

“Get up. Why did you drink so much? Team Leader Park. Come and take care of the kid. If you thought it was too much, you should have stopped him.”

“Ah… … Yes. I’m sorry, sir.”

“I saw you parked your car far away when you came here. I parked it right in front of my car, so put it there for now.”

“yes.”

Park Soo-chan reacted quickly to Gu Se-ryeong’s words. His face was stiff, as if he had been slightly shocked. Seeing this, Gu Se-ryeong smiled inwardly, thinking that he was definitely a person with a sense of humor.

Actually, it wasn’t Gu Seol-ryeong who scolded Team Leader Park Soo-chan. It was something he said to the people who were there.

We can’t openly ask why they made our singer drink like that. So we give them a warning and say, “Don’t do this again.”

I also feed them my own kind of junk food.

The only fortunate thing was that Dong-ha followed Team Leader Park Soo-chan’s lead quite obediently.

Looking at that makes me think so.

If you hadn’t come today, someone would have picked it up and taken it away… I feel that way.

So the cold gaze of the Savior was directed at the two actresses, Im I-seo and Oh Se-ra… … .

The two actresses were also rapidly getting drunk, as they were falling down on the table in real time.

Perhaps, I tried to hold out somehow, but now that the situation is over, it feels like the mental strength I had to hold out has collapsed.

at that time.

A very calm and playful… … voice was heard from the Savior.

“Representative Koo is prettier in person. He could have been an actor.”

“Teacher Lim Ji-yeon… … That’s you. Hello. Nice to meet you.”

“nice to meet you.”

“nice to meet you.”

Even the appearance of a Savior like that is intimidating.

Not just because he is the head of an entertainment company, but because he is a royal family among royal families.

The atmosphere at the dinner party became quiet with the appearance of that person.

Regardless, only actress Lim Ji-yeon opened her mouth.

“CEO Koo is more overprotective than I thought. That guy is a grown man, too.”

“I’m only twenty-one. And I’m a singer, so I have to protect my throat. As you know, alcohol can damage your throat.”

“If you’re going to get a sore throat from drinking alcohol all day, is that okay? The singers of my time lived on alcohol and cigarettes.”

Gu Seol-ryeong was conflicted as she watched Im Ji-yeon answer without giving in to him.

When I arrived at the scene and saw Im Ji-yeon, I realized why Lee Dong-ha was so drunk, and it made me even more resentful.

However, I also thought that it was impossible to argue with an actor who was a senior in the entertainment industry and the head of an agency that had moved to the royal family.

I also understood why Park Soo-chan couldn’t take care of Lee Dong-ha.

Maybe that’s what led the mood today.

Lim Ji-yeon.

While Park Soo-chan was helping Lee Dong-ha out of the restaurant, Im Ji-yeon opened her mouth again.

“Young people need to be allowed to date and have some breathing room. If you don’t let them do anything under the pretext of managing them, they’ll get sick.”

“… … Is that so?”

“Of course. It would be weird if the CEO got involved in a love affair, right?”

That’s not wrong.

It’s close to sophistry, though.

The old man opened his mouth and took another breath.

I’m not conscious of the gaze of the staff around me.

In the first place, the Savior is not that kind of person.

It was a bit of a problem that the actor in front of me was much older than me, but I was not someone who couldn’t speak because of my age.

If he was that kind of person, he wouldn’t have been able to control the company’s executives.

‘Your eyes are a lot like Dong-ha’s… … . Your playful smile too. The way you say what you want to say to anyone.’

Knowing that she was Dong-ha’s biological mother, Gu Se-ryeong hesitated to answer.

To be exact, in a situation where it was impossible to predict what kind of relationship would develop between Lee Dong-ha and Im Ji-yeon, I couldn’t just get involved.

If you tell Im Ji-yeon everything you want to say, there might be a situation where Dong-ha wants to see Im Ji-yeon but can’t because of you.

Of course, it’s up to Dong-ha to decide whether he wants to see it or not.

“Yes, I will. Sorry to go first, but I will pay the bill here.”

* * *

As the Savior left the dinner venue, Team Leader Park Soo-chan bowed his head.

“I apologize for contacting you at this hour, sir. I should have taken care of it on my own… … .”

“It’s okay. Judging from the atmosphere inside, Im Ji-yeon… … The teacher seems to be strangely leading the atmosphere. I don’t think Team Leader Park can do it with his power. Your decision was good.”

“thank you.”

Team Leader Park Soo-chan, who lowered his head again, looked at Lee Dong-ha, who was spread out in the backseat of Gu Se-ryeong’s car, and opened his mouth again.

“I’ll bring the tea right away.”

“why?”

“Oh, I have to take care of Dong-ha. He’s really drunk, so he might accidentally get in the CEO’s car.”

“No. It’s okay. Just follow me. Even though Dong-ha is thin, I can’t carry him.”

“Ah… … Then just tell me the location and I’ll go there right away. Are you going to the recording studio or to Dong-ha’s parents’ house?”

At Park Soo-chan’s words, Goo Se-ryeong also stared blankly at Lee Dong-ha, who had his legs stretched out through the open car door, and slowly answered.

“Why is this kid so cute?”

“yes?”

“Because your legs are long. Baby.”

“Ah… … It’s a bit long. It folds easily again. Dong-ha is so skinny.”

“Let’s go to Dong-ha’s father’s house. It’s better to stay home. Not when you’re drunk.”

“yes.”

After deciding on a destination, I watched Park Soo-chan struggling to fold Lee Dong-ha’s legs and push him into the car…

It’s funny too.

Sometimes a salty feeling comes over me.

‘You… …Why is this child so complicated?’

Because of time travel that others can’t even imagine.

I’ll become a dead person and never be able to debut.

The colleagues who prepared for debut with me and had many dreams have grown old.

My father passed away in the meantime, so I couldn’t even be there to see him die.

-My musical teacher is definitely my uncle.

My uncle from my childhood, who used to smile brightly and speak proudly, is nowhere to be found or what he is doing.

I did find a mother… … but she couldn’t even say a word to me, “son.”

I don’t know whether to resent you or say that I missed you. I just stare at you, not knowing my own feelings.

All things.

As I watch Lee Dong-ha from a position where I know everything, I feel a sense of pity.

After confirming that Park Soo-chan was running, Gu Se-ryeong got into the car.

The smell of alcohol wafts from the backseat.

Move as much as possible without breaking the suspension. Slowly apply force to your feet and the car will move smoothly.

“Oh my… … What kind of alcohol… … Did you not drink it, but spray it on yourself?”

I take a quick look in the rear view mirror.

“Even the way you sleep stretched out makes you look like a celebrity. It’s a shame for only me to see it.”

Isn’t it?

Are these things more special because you can keep them to yourself?

A very small line was drawn at the corner of the Savior’s mouth.
