Idol’s Childhood Friend

17 – As it has been and will continue to be in the future

I gained a lot by entering the entertainment industry, but at the same time, I lost a lot.

What is gained and what is lost. Calling this an equivalent exchange sometimes feels like the scales are tilted, but I am also human, so I get confused at every moment.

I don’t want to think that I lost what I lost for today. On the other hand, I don’t think that I have achieved what I have gained along the way to today.

In the end, this is my truth.

You will not regret it.

Sometimes I get criticized for being greedy, people laugh at me for looking at reality, and even if they try to ruin me and drag me down somehow, I will move on without regrets.

Even if the road is thorny for some, if there is something left at the end that I will not regret, I will willingly shed blood and smile.

There is only one thing I hope for at the end of that struggle.

“Hello. Good evening everyone~.”

I have to have you. And we must be recognized by everyone who loves us.

It’s been 6 years like that.

“That’s all about France. “I run out of things to talk about later when I get together with the members.”

I grinned and placed the remaining hamburger wrapper outside the angle.

I half-open the window at the back to let the smell out, and the cool night air of late spring that I haven’t had time to send in blows in.

“Then, shall we talk about the vlog?”

[No way]

[I haven’t seen the vlog yetㅠㅠㅠㅠ]

I decided to say it, but that doesn’t mean the percentage of people who haven’t seen it has decreased. In fact, as it was turned on for a long time, about 5,000 more people came in than when it first started.

If it were normal, I would have been talking about TMI during the hiatus for the sake of Forever who hasn’t watched it, but today, don’t we have a clear goal?

“Even if we talk about the behind-the-scenes, I think we’ll probably talk about it for 10 minutes. “I’m just going to briefly cover what happened in Japan.”

[Chaewon, how long have you been in Japan?]

“How long has Japan been around?” , First of all, it was 2 days and 1 night where I filmed a vlog….”

Lower lip clenched together.

The original travel plan was 3 days and 2 nights. But how can we see each other in that atmosphere for one more day?

It is a difficult task that no actor or idol can complete unless they are paid.

I can’t speak.

There is also Yumin’s personal life, but even though she is a member of a girl group, she can never say that she returned to Korea early due to a failed confession.

[Then you’re talking about vlogs, right?]

[Liar. Chaeun-ni is a liar!!]

Fortunately, Forever was absorbed in the vlog and seemed to think that my empty laughter was out of embarrassment.

“Didn’t you meet May while you were in Japan? Yes, like I said before, I was in France with the members and went our separate ways… ….”

Quickly calm your expression and change the topic.

For your information, there was no chat like that.

“Anyway, back to the topic… , hmmm. As you know, this trip was with a childhood friend named Yumin. “It was my first time seeing her in three years.”

[Gasp. Could it be that childhood friend?]

[Who is one of the three greatest wonders of all time?]

[Yoomin, who has an inner sense of intimacy with Forever….]

“Yes, that’s right. He’s the childhood friend I talked about in Zarkon. I had a great time with the friend I had heard so many rumors about. “Forever, I have a friend?”

[I thought Chaewon was a fictitious character created to hide the fact that she doesn’t have any friends.]

“Where is the friend who talked about the fictional character? I’m trying to compliment you because I’m having fun…. Let’s come out when we have something nice to say… ?”

Forever chats that did not know about vlogs are increasing rapidly.

Every time Yumin brings up a story, she is portrayed as the character of ‘Han Chae-won, who has no friends’, so there are some innocent Forever people who think that I really made this up.

Of course, I also know very well that many people who believed that they did not exist did so because they wanted to deny the very existence of childhood friends of the opposite s*x……

“So Forever. Those who have seen it, please tell me. “Please share your thoughts on this vlog with Forevers who haven’t watched it.”

Nevertheless, I took a step forward and never looked back.

The road ahead is too far to walk.

[It’s like the first time I’ve seen such a fun Vlog]

[The chemistry between the two is so good hahahaha. It’s been a long time since I laughed until my stomach hurt hahahaha]

[That was a national treasure… Please don’t delete it..]

[It was like watching a human theater]

[I couldn’t stop grinning the whole time I was watching it hahahaha]

Look for reviews that say it was fun and read it quickly.

I was already certain through YouTube that this kind of reaction would come out.

As expected, the response to the vlog in the rapidly growing chat window was favorable, regardless of nationality.

With a triumphant expression, he placed his hand on his waist.

“Look. If you say it’s this much fun, you definitely don’t plan on not watching it, do you? “You must see it, right?”

[The triumphant Chaeuni is cuteㅠㅠㅠ]

“And if I had to leave a comment, Yumin and I’s Tiki Taka is amazing. “It’s the best ever.”

[I was surprised while watching this. No matter how hard I try, I can’t get that far.]

[I really hope JP (Chaewon’s agency) can keep giving us more Chaewon videos like this. This is all we need.]

[Chaewon of Jinchin Vibe is always a legend]

[Chaewon is Chaewon, but Yumin is also amazing. Are idol friends special?]

[Why is she really not a celebrity? !!]

[Where can I find a childhood friend like that? Seriously]

[They look really good together]

Chats about Yumin are slowly starting to appear.

No matter how many true fans there are here, I never thought they would be this friendly……

“… What. “Is this not a group that loves Han Chae-won, but a group that loves Kang Yu-min?”

It was touching. I was really grateful.

I am loved by really good people.

Hide your upset emotions.

Continuing the momentum, he brings out the words he had prepared about Yumin one by one.

“Actually, I might not have been able to appear in that vlog world.”

[Why?????]

“Uri, even if you have an inner intimacy with Yumin, Yumin is an ordinary person, right? Plus, my childhood friend is Han Chae-won. “How burdensome it must be.”

[ㄹㅇ Even if it’s like me, it seems like it would be difficult to figure out]

“But even though I knew it, I asked for it. Please do it together just once. “Even when I think about it again, I still whined so much.”

He lets out a hearty laugh.

The temperature, sunlight, wind, and atmosphere of that day. Maybe it was because I recalled that moment several times while watching the vlog, but even though it wasn’t captured on camera, everything I saw about you at that time came to mind.

I was definitely not the right woman for you back then.

No, he was a child.

“Yumin thought of me and Forever and made a really big decision to take the picture, right? So, after watching the vlog, you must only say good things to Yumin? Did you know? “I say good things even if you don’t see it.”

He brought his hands to her mouth and asked her in a cute and shy way.

I am almost convinced after seeing the initial reaction to the video. The number of views on our vlog is going to be three or four times higher than it is now.

As the number of viewers increases, comments inevitably accumulate, and as interest spreads, secondary sharing occurs through articles or other media.

The general public should not touch it.

It’s an unwritten rule on this floor, so I won’t go overboard……

As the number of so-called Yeonbanin people begins to increase, the daily lives of so-called Yeonbanin people are constantly being leaked like viral marketing through portal sites, blogs, and communities.

Yumin is a perfect ordinary person, but she is confident as she has been in the entertainment industry for 6 years.

Kang Yu-min’s visuals and charm will spread to the public in the near future. It will all start with the most sensitive reporters and producers in this industry.

As much as Yumin trusted me and took pictures of her vlog, I also have to do everything I can.

“So what I want to say is this. This vlog was brought to life by Yumin. So, if the vlog was fun, I hope it served as an opportunity to cherish Yumin more than me. You know what I mean, Forever?”

[I love Han Chae-won so much❤❤❤]

[Four Woongni]

[Yes~]

“But it’s because Yumin is with me, he’s a very introverted kid. Even if you meet him later, rather than pretending to know him, just look at him and ask, ‘Huh? Is that person Yumin?’ My Yumin is softer than I thought. That’s right.”

[I was embarrassed when I looked into it today.]

“… Uh? “Has Yumin already seen it?”

I opened my eyes wide in surprise and looked at the chat window.

If she had the personality, she would have turned off her cell phone and not left the house.

I was confused for a while due to a situation that was different from what I expected……

[When I asked her if she was my childhood friend, she quickly took off her headphones and said, ‘I’m Hyipbo from New Jeans’ and ran away.]

“Phuheup-.”

For some reason, I can imagine this situation.

I thought it was a truly Yumin-like answer and ending.

“You understand, Forever? “I’m really shy, so please pay attention to me?”

[Hmmkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk]

[You still use that drip?]

“But even if it were me, I think I would have looked like a hype boy right there. “How can you tolerate that?”

Smile lightly while humming a song.

Maybe it was because stories about Yumin kept coming out, but in the chat window, more and more people were curious about Yumin.

“I really enjoyed watching Chaewon’s vlog. Can I take a picture with my childhood friend again? Umm…. As I said before, I just filmed this vlog with a lot of effort.”

[Use it one more time.]

[We’ll sweep together too!!]

[I want you to take a picture ahhh]

“No, no. I know Forever’s feelings very well, but Yumin is as important to me as Forever. Huh. “I’ll have to ask, but if I do take pictures, I’ll only take pictures if Yumin gives permission.”

[I am so jealous of Yumin, who is precious to meㅠㅠㅠㅠ]

[Tell me I’m precious too!!!!]

“Anyway. It’s about the vlog, but I tried to talk about it without the vlog, so I just keep talking about Yumin. “Now just say this and the vlog story is over.”

He gestures for the end and makes a stern expression towards the camera, then spreads out one finger.

“One. Yumin is a normal person, so he never says anything strange. Of course it doesn’t work for me either. You are making strange comments right now. I’m talking about you. “I have no leniency?”

She frowns and points a finger at the camera. Accordingly, a message defending my words appears in the chat window.

[Such evils must be caught in a roundabout way.]

[There is no negotiation with malicious commenters.]

[I swear!!]

“And the second. Please make sure to protect Yumin’s privacy. Of course, I know that you will keep your promise to me, Forever…… , You there!”

[Don’t make our Chae-yeon say it twice.]

[Absolutely protect it.]

Forever agrees with my words.

It was cute that he reacted immediately to every word I said, and I couldn’t help but laugh.

Thank goodness. Because these people like me.

“And the third and final one!”

The moment finally arrived.

It was something I wanted to say even before turning on Labang, but when it came time to say it, I couldn’t get it out of my mouth easily.

The storm and ripples that these words will cause will definitely be bigger and stronger than I thought.

“Kang Yu-min, my childhood friend of 15 years, who accepted my foolishness during this trip!”

So, I remembered the promise I had made.

I encountered the people who love me, the path ahead, and the things I would miss while walking that path.

Then I had a strange feeling.

“Thank you for being my friend. “Thanks to you, the trip was very fun.”

Even though I know I’ll be in pain while walking this path, I don’t think I’ll be scared. Even though I know that I can lose everything in an instant, I don’t think I’ll be afraid.

———I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Let’s get along well. As it has been and continues to be. “Let’s get along well.”

I will show you everything.

So promise me one thing.

“Forever, thank you so much for loving me too. I can exist because there is a real Forever. Okay, so I’ll end this story here…….”

I will recognize this honest side of me and my true feelings as they are.
