The malicious member is back! Episode 114

* * *

Even if it was decided to go out, there weren’t many options for an idol who was just about to debut.

I’m going to go to the street in front of the convenience store, or whatever, I’m going to go to the Han River.

If I went to a place like that where I was bound to be noticed by others, it was obvious that something would be said.

So what should I do?

I had no choice but to go to the playground where I had an honest conversation with Yoo-chan and Hwaseong.

“haha… It’s so cute here. huh.”

Despite our solemn start, Jaeha burst into laughter as we were led to a place that was too cute for our height.

“Did we talk about it here? Somehow, when I entered the room. Unlike how I usually sleep, I was lying down a bit awkwardly. “Well, he’s also wearing a hood.”

“Oh, well… “It’s true that it went up in a hurry.”

“yes? It seemed like that. Umm… It’s a swing. It’s been a long time since I sat down in person… “I’ve done a lot of pushing.”

Jaeha slowly placed his butt on the swing where Hwaseong was sitting and venting his anger, and for a moment his face was lost in memories.

“There is a big age difference between me and my younger siblings, so I had to push them often.”

Even though Hwaseong was obviously much taller, his older brother had a bigger presence.

Why?

Is Jaeha carrying too much baggage on his back?

Or is it because this is the first time in the past 8 years that I have had this conversation with Jaeha?

Shoot…

A moment of silence.

The wind blew, and Jaeha was the first to open his mouth again.

“Well, I think I kind of understand why you asked to talk outside. You know what I’m trying to say… .”

“… … .”

“I didn’t really want to refuse you when you asked me to give you some time. “You know what I mean?”

The air was so clean, but the sentences my brother spoke were words that only fit in a dusty warehouse room.

“haha… Still, my heart is grateful. Really. But I am also taking medicine regularly. “That and the fact that I take charge of various tasks have nothing to do with it.”

As I listened to Ye’s slightly broken laughter, as expected, Jaeha didn’t seem to have any intention of breaking his opinion.

“after… .”

okay. Jaeha says that’s the biggest problem right now.

A problem that is clearly affecting others is not perceived as a problem by my brother, who is actually involved.

We next to him were shocked and upset, but Jaeha hyung said, ‘What is that? I just maintained the attitude of ‘What does that have to do with anything?’

I called Gao Yan as my daily manager and said, ‘Actually, all the work you’ve done up until now was a manager’s job! ‘You’re doing too many things at once!’ Even if you tell them the same thing.

“Manager, I will leave work now. Let’s meet again tomorrow morning. By getting in early like this, you can create awareness of the right work culture without leaving a bad precedent. Of course, to my film crew too! “This is the core of the Noisy Boy channel!”

“Yeah, yeah… .”

“Gao Yan does not violate the working hours specified by Korean law. This is how a Hong Kong man survives in Korea. “So that everyone knows.”

… Although I wonder if I should have asked him to play the role of the resident manager of the hotel.

I think that went too far.

“… … .”

Tuk-tuk-

I quietly looked at Jaeha, who was touching the swing straps with his fingers, waiting for me to open my mouth.

My brother’s black eyes, as if slightly foggy in the night air, were obscured by glasses today as well.

As if trying to prevent people from noticing his true intentions.

“… … .”

I already knew why my brother maintained that attitude.

How do you not know?

That’s what I heard so emphatically when I visited my brother’s room before the reality cameras started rolling.

Moreover, if you stay in that situation for too long, you tend to take it for granted that you are that kind of person.

Just like in my past life, I defined myself as trash and didn’t even think about changing.

I called you here to try to change my brother’s thoughts, but in reality, I didn’t feel any different.

What I did back then was trash.

No matter how hard it was for me or how much I thought everyone in the world hated me, I couldn’t do that.

… My brother is probably thinking the same thing right now.

That’s why, even though he didn’t really know my situation, Jaeha explained that we were in the same boat.

In the end, we don’t have the heart to break our own thoughts.

As I took a step towards my older brother, I slowly opened my mouth.

“Jaeha hyung. “You know.”

But, still.

“huh?”

Even if we give up a lot and assume we are that type to begin with.

“… “Would you like me to push the swing?”

whatever.

“Yes… ? Swing? “Did you just hear that correctly?”

“Yes, you heard correctly. “Would you like me to push the swing, bro?”

Be considerate of your brother, wait for him to get used to being considered, and make him realize that the things he has done so far were not just good.

Good, good.

But, because I was so selfish that I thought the people who suffered because of me didn’t know me and lived like trash… .

If I have to play that role this time, I want to be the only one.

Just like the worst idol member, X was the worst counselor who predicted that the contract would ultimately fail.

“No, what is that all of a sudden…” .”

Jaeha’s eyes widened in embarrassment, as if he was thinking that he was going to explain everything that had happened and convince him.

Even when Gao Yan came as a daily manager.

Or, even more so than when I found out that I was teaming up with Yu-chan and Hwaseong and helping him.

However, it was none of my business as I had already made up my mind.

I shrugged my shoulders and smiled at my brother, pretending to be cheerful.

“why not. I’ve pushed my younger siblings a lot, but it’s been a while since my older brother went on the swing. I’ll push you. He should give it a try. “It’ll be fun, right?”

“No, there’s no need to, wait, wait. Chunyong. “We wanted to talk about something else-”

“Hold on tight, Jaeha!”

“… omg–.”

When I pushed my brother’s back with all the strength I had used to dance and move around up to that point, Jaeha couldn’t even scream for a moment and instead put strength on his hand holding the swing strap.

I didn’t really dance hard just for times like this… .

“It’s fun, Jaeha!”

I feel so refreshed.

“Chunyong, Chunyong! Um, can you stop?! wait for a sec… .”

“Just stay still! “Because I won’t stop!”

My brother tried to stop a few times, but before he could, he saw my hand pushing his back again and gave up on that decision.

My brother’s body, which is very light compared to his height, rises and falls through the air.

Two idols just before their debut riding on a swing at a children’s playground full of natural colors.

It must be funny to other people, right?

But, well… .

In my excessively slitted eyes, the image of Jaeha’s back floating in the air, sitting on a swing chair, was clearly visible.

It was a back that wasn’t as big as I thought earlier.

twenty one.

I was my brother’s age now.

I’m 21 years old and haven’t even really experienced the world yet.

Why don’t you go on a swing when no one is around?

It could be so, right?

… Just like that, after a brief 7-year-old boy’s play.

“Wow, really… .”

When I stopped pushing my brother, it was natural that the glasses on his face were hanging messily on the tip of his nose.

“… Chunyong. Why are you doing this all of a sudden? I don’t understand. Obviously, you called me to talk… .”

“I didn’t ask to talk, I asked for some time, and more than anything… “It was fun, wasn’t it?”

“… … .”

Jaeha always pushes the swing.

Now, at home far away, at work I visit every day, and even at my dorm where I open and close my eyes.

But, that doesn’t mean it won’t be difficult.

I wonder if that would be fun.

The swing was only fun if you rode it yourself. Pushing isn’t fun at all.

That’s why everyone was happy if they took turns stroking their backs.

I quietly looked at Jaeha, who was taking off his glasses and rubbing his eyelids, and muttered in a low voice.

Jaeha hyung.

“… It’s not a question of burden. The world won’t fall if you don’t do that. No, if a group is ruined because one idol leader didn’t do something that wasn’t his job, it would be better for the group to fail.”

“… … .”

Now that he knew why I suddenly pushed the swing, my brother’s eyes became calm again.

“… Even if you say that, you know I won’t change. “Because you’re a smart kid.”

“Sure. Oh, I’m not saying I’m smart.”

I now know easily that things like this will not change.

“But honestly, it doesn’t really matter anymore. “My brother will continue to do what he did, and now I will do what I want to do.”

“Then what ended up coming here was… .”

“Oh, that might be a little different.”

I cut Jaeha’s words off, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly.

“I’m not doing it for my brother, I’m doing it because I want to.”

“… … .”

“So, there is no need to feel burdened. I, and by extension, the other members, can do whatever they want. Why are you putting pressure on me? “I just need to point my finger at my forehead and wonder what to do with these troublesome troublemakers.”

“… … .”

“Ah, because I had fun playing with my brother. I guess I have to go in now. And my brother… .”

I looked outside the playground, brushing back the hair that had fallen in front of my eyes while pushing the swing.

And there.

“… “I didn’t even contact you, but please talk to Hwaseong over there who secretly followed me.”

“… … .”

Ji Hwaseong, who received the attention of Jaeha and I, shrugged his shoulders and hid himself behind a tree in front of the playground.

But it’s not like the shoulders are covered, really.

Tuk-

I ran under the tree, punched Ji Hwaseong on the shoulder, and waved at Jaeha, who was looking at me blankly with his glasses off.

“I’m going!”

The steps leaving the playground are light.

Things like the streetlights falling overhead and the cool breeze that tells me that fall is coming are laid out like a carpet on my path.

I could have talked to Jaeha more calmly and logically… .

well.

The more you walk, the lighter your steps become, and the X that blinks in your pocket and sends endless messages like “I want to go on the swing, it’s so fun.”

It showed me that what I did this time was not wrong.

* * *

Belt, belt, belt, piririk-

“… Wash your face and sleep, Hwaseong. “My face will swell.”

“What tax revenue? “I didn’t cry!”

“Umm… Yes, yes. okay.”

I’ll see you tomorrow.

widely-

Although it was a bed where he lay down to rest, the dazed feeling that invaded Son Jae-ha’s head did not want to go away easily.

The two didn’t even discuss what to do together, but what Ji Hwaseong said to Son Jaeha was similar to Kim Chunyong’s.

“I know, Jaeha. In fact, I knew but I pretended not to know. Why doesn’t he tell me one by one about the company’s situation? Because there is nothing good to know. “Nothing will change.”

“… huh.”

“But, bro. I am… .”

“… … .”

“I was more upset that I didn’t know my brother was in that condition.”

‘From now on, he won’t have any intention of letting me know. But, I already figured this out. He won’t turn a blind eye.’

Well, Son Jae-ha still didn’t think he was wrong.

If he had been a little more careful in the first place, if he hadn’t been caught, those kids wouldn’t have had to worry about him so much.

however.

Kim Chun-yong’s hand pushing his back on the swing, and Ji Hwaseong’s shoulders shaking as if he had just arrived from Daegu and introduced himself.

Over and over again.

It relaxes the tense body and makes the mind more at ease than when it was hidden well.

“… … .”

Son Jae-ha looked at Kim Chun-yong, who was sleeping next to him with his red hair disheveled, and then pulled the blanket all the way up to cover his head.

For some reason.

… Today I feel like I can sleep for a long time without dreams.
