Rockstar Again - Chapter 45



Only Noblemtl

Episode 45. Speed ​​(4)

I quit .

A large number of people rushed in as if possessed by an evil spirit.

-Our company is launching a new boy group.

– How about a solo artist? It seems like you don’t want to do group activities. We’ll push you.

There were more than a few people who came to me directly to try to deceive me with all kinds of words, and there were even places that tried to contact Nureongi, wondering how they found out.

Not only that, there were quite a few places that found out my cell phone number and contacted me.

I understand.

Because I’m good?

Ah… … I think so, but there’s a bigger reason than that.

There is no owner.

It is human nature to pick up and look at money that has fallen on the road, whether it is a thousand won or ten thousand won.

In a world where even picking up money on the street is something to be cautious about. A wad of money that I can’t even guess how much it will cost is suddenly thrown at me, and I kick my claws and come out, saying, “Let me pick it up.” So I’m just going to pick it up and see.

It wasn’t like it was terribly annoying or anything.

When I meet them, I avoid them, and when they contact me, I hang up. And then I block them.

It’s blind money, but most people just throw it away because they don’t think the money will end up in their own pockets.

But there was one person among them.

-Oh my. It looks better in person?

―… … ?

-I’m Cheong-ah, the Savior. Nice to meet you.

I met an aunt who was leaving after participating in the live broadcast to select the final member of My Pick Idol as a producer.

-who are you?

– Cheong-ah, Gu Se-ryeong. Are you still young and don’t know my name?

-Have we met before?

– It’s my first time. I don’t usually move myself… … .

It was a confident smile, and I didn’t really intend to criticize her. I asked because I was genuinely curious.

-Then how do I know you, ma’am?

To be honest, she was pretty, but she didn’t look like an old lady.

Long, dark hair. A slightly curved hairstyle. A height that looks over 170cm with high heels and a line that is slightly revealed between the luxurious clothes.

Regardless of what her face looks like, it’s never easy to call her an auntie when you see her.

If you look at it positively, it’s not the mid-20s, but late 20s?

No matter how much I look at it, it’s in the early to mid 30s.

Because I’m still young.

She was a high school student until recently, so she seemed to be quite older than me… … That’s just how I saw her, and so the word that just popped out was ‘ajumma.’

If you call someone Gu Seol-ryeong, even though you only know their name, they’ll seem like a bad person.

―Ah… … Zoom… … Ma? Oh my, kid. What should I do? They call you an old lady. You need to take better care of your skin.

He seemed to be flustered for a moment, then lightly hit the woman standing next to him with his arm… … It was strange.

The truth is, you know the truth.

I know, too.

That I’m not a universal thinker.

So I could feel it.

‘Hey… this lady is in my department.’

I walked past the woman named Gu Se-ryeong, who was blocking the passage, trying to get away without engaging in any more conversation.

At that time, he said this to the back of my head.

– My introduction is late. I am Gu Seol-ryeong from Cheong-A Media Group. Nice to meet you.

I ran over because he acted like it was nothing, as if it was the first time he had spoken to me, even though he had clearly introduced himself.

I had a gut feeling that mixing words would make me tired.

After that, I started getting phone calls every other day.

I thought it wasn’t working and blocked him, but then he called me again from an unknown number.

Send texts, make phone calls.

When I block someone, they call me from another number… … .

That lady was terrible.

When I pick up the phone, I feel like I need to say something.

-You were waiting for my call?

I thought it wouldn’t work if he started saying things like that while laughing, so I hung up again…

I shook my head to shake the thought of that woman away.

Mr. Kwak Moon-ki told me not to contact anyone other than him and Tae-joo hyung, so I called Tae-joo hyung, but just like Mr. Kwak Moon-ki said, he didn’t answer.

If this guy can’t pick up, then it’s a real situation where he can’t pick up the phone, so I didn’t call twice.

After thinking about it for a while, I called Nureongi.

Mr. Kwak Moon-ki hung up the phone and told me to wait, but I couldn’t just wait like that. It was my own business, not someone else’s.

-Hey! Are you dating me without telling me?

“What are you talking about? Out of the blue. Why am I dating? I don’t have time. I’m dying.”

―I just got out of the hospital. Hey… …How did the reporters come looking for me? Anyway, are you okay?

“Me? Are you okay?”

―It seems like it was only yesterday that Eunsol was complaining. And now there are dating rumors… … As expected, our Dong-ha is amazing.

“Shut up. And it wasn’t like the day before yesterday, it was yesterday… … .”

Judging from the rumbling sound coming from the other end of the phone, it looks like he’s driving.

It’s a pretty serious situation, but talking to Nureongi just makes me laugh.

The two of us just burst into laughter without saying a word.

“Is it fun?”

– Oh my. This is fun. It’s already like this, but if I debut properly, it’ll be chaos. Thanks to that, I’m having fun these days.

“Okay. You know Cheong-ah, the Savior, right?”

– Gu Se-ryeong? Cheong-ah? I know. Who in Korea doesn’t know Gu Se-ryeong? She’s practically a celebrity among celebrities.

“Celebrity?”

―Oh. He’s a conglomerate. He’s the youngest brother of the chairman of Cheong-A Group, Koo Se-cheong. He took charge of the entertainment business and hit the jackpot. His older brother acknowledged that and he became independent by tying up broadcasting, entertainment, and department stores. But I guess he’s practically part of the same family… … . Anyway, he has a sense for business. He’s a conglomerate, but he’s good-looking and young. He has everything. So what… … He’s a conglomerate, but he’s had his fair share of scandals, right? Oh, but rumor has it that he has a strange personality. But with those looks, unless your personality is quite strange, you’d only be able to meet him in your dreams.

“Hey, Nureongi, your information is too detailed?”

-Of course. I’m a fan too.

“Pan?”

-You said you were a celebrity. You followed Stargram.

“Please send me a picture.”

-I’m driving, Emma. Go to Stargram and search for your name. It’ll be at the top. You search for it.

Without hanging up the phone, I went into the Stargram app and searched… … .

[9years_old_ryeongS2]

The ID that appears at the very top and the blue sticker next to it.

I checked the photo and it is correct.

[picture]

[#Today, just breathing and being white hair. Shopping is no fun… … . Hey, isn’t there something that makes my heart flutter?]

I don’t know where, but she’s sitting on a sofa in a fancy place, surrounded by shopping bags, striking a seductive pose, and looking out the window at the clouds.

Below, there are endless comments of praise.

“How old is this lady?”

– Did you see it? Isn’t it pretty? And this kid calls everyone “auntie” because he’s young. You’re going to get punished, you kid.

“No. I mean… … yeah. You’re pretty. You’re pretty, but how old are you?”

―I don’t know, me either. My age doesn’t appear on the portal or the internet. It sounds like a legend, but there’s a story that if you mention your age, the Cheong-A legal team will sue you. I don’t know what crime they’re suing you for, though.

“So no one knows?”

also.

That strange lady.

No matter how pretty or what, she doesn’t look like she’s my age.

-Oh. It’s been about 10 years since you started your business, so you must be over 30, right? But it can’t be that old. You can tell just by looking at it.

I felt the gap in time between Beomseok and me.

The 30s before the future and the 30s now are quite different in terms of face value, but that doesn’t mean I can see the 30s as young.

There’s nothing wrong with not responding, but…

There are already dozens of messages piling up while talking to Beomseok.

A lot of them are producers of Nostrils and Joinchang.

[Slave #1: Dong-ha! Please spare me. Why can’t I contact you? NBD9 fans are protesting at the company right now. Can’t you explain it to me?]

[Slave #1: Please, Dong-ha. It looks like it’s going to crash before takeoff.]

NBD9 is the name of a group that debuted through my own selection.

The fans say that there are 9+1 and that there are 10 people that I picked… … That’s what they are saying. PD Ahn Chi-seop and the broadcasters did a good job with marketing.

Since we ended up parting ways on good terms, I will continue to lead my fandom and the debut group fandom without any division… … in that direction.

And Park Min-jae.

[Nostril: Brother. Isn’t it?]

[Nostril: Brother. But how do you know about my smile?]

[Nostril: Brother… … Please answer.]

[Nostril: Miso and Hyungnim… … You’re not dating, right??]

I was a little curious.

How does your nostrils know Kim Mi-so?

And why are you so desperate?

Wheeee …

At that moment, a long, shaking cell phone.

It’s an unknown number.

These days, I rarely answer calls from people like that lady, but I felt strongly that I had to accept this one.

“hello.”

-Oh, you answered the phone? You must be busy. Is it okay if I talk to you?

A lively and cheerful voice.

“If I hang up saying I’m busy, you’ll change your number and call me again, right?”

-What? What do you think? Hehe. How is it? Do you like the gift?

“A gift? A gift that involves an innocent person in a dating rumor and makes them get cursed at before they even debut?”

-Oh. We can finally have a conversation. Right? I was so excited that I threw something, but it looks like it was a whale?

“What do you want to do?”

―Looking at the way you understand the content, our information is correct. I don’t know where it is, but it seems like a pretty smart company has joined. But still. What if you sign a contract without consulting me? It’s disappointing.

This lady sticks it straight in without hiding anything.

Rather, it was so bright and straightforward that I didn’t even feel any malice.

So the face dries.

Initiative… … should I say that? I don’t like situations where I lose that. If it’s a topic I’m not interested in or a person I’m not interested in, I wouldn’t hold a long conversation. If the other person occasionally takes the initiative, it’s because I gave the initiative to that person.

Because you’re someone I like.

So I felt bad.

What annoyed me was not that I gave up the initiative, but that it was taken away from me.

Maybe that’s why I avoided this lady.

Because they are the same type as me.

I thought it would be tiring to talk uselessly.

I could feel the vibration of the phone as I was talking on the phone.

I took my phone away from my face and checked the notifications.

[Mr. Kwak Moon-ki: Are you on the phone?]

[Mr. Kwak Moon-ki: Who are you talking to?]

[Mr. Kwak Moon-ki: I clearly told you not to call me?]

[Mr. Kwak Moon-ki: Whoever it is, please hang up the phone and talk to me again.]

[Mr. Kwak Moon-ki: Has the sender arrived? I got a call that he will arrive soon. Get ready.]

While I was checking my phone and not saying anything, I heard the voice of the Savior speaking softly from the phone in my hand.

– Are you worried? Or are you thinking about what I should do?

“Tell me. Don’t make me angry.”

-It’s hot. Hehe. That’s also attractive. It’s different, for sure. It’s fun.

“Hang up.”

-You can’t quit, you. If you were going to quit, you would have quit a long time ago. With that personality.

“… … .”

– Come out. There are no reporters. I sent a car in front of the house. Come in. Let’s have a cup of coffee.

I quickly ran to the window and looked down.

-See? A big white car.

“… … .”

-You can see it? Then let’s meet up and talk. Bye.

For the first time, this lady hung up the phone first.

As I cast my gaze away from the white car, I see a black car speeding towards the entrance of the complex. I have a feeling that it is the Jaemin Group members sent by Mr. Kwak Moon-ki.

I had to decide.

Should I go down like this lady said and take that white car?

Or take the black car that will arrive shortly.

The answer was easy.

“Wait, ma’am.”

It’s true that I just wanted to see his face and figure out what he was thinking because he was high on medicine.

I can’t contact Tae-ju hyung, and Mr. Kwak Moon-ki can’t handle it.

Meanwhile, Eunsol’s daughter is being cursed at in real time. It’s not the same, but I’ve experienced something similar.

This is a race against time.

Even if you deal with it, you have to move as quickly as possible to put out the fire early. Even if you give it time to sort it out, it will be a frustrating situation with nothing to salvage.

‘Even if she’s not Eunsol’s daughter, this isn’t right.’

The elevator is down there, on the first floor.

I ran up the stairs in a hurry.
