If You Raise Three Idols Well, They Will Confess Their Love

13 – Can I have it?

Episode 13

bang!

Cheon Jong-Hoon hit the marble table with all his might.

“I’m jealous of him? “This Cheon Jong-hoon?”

It was an expression of intense emotion that was uncharacteristic of Cheon Jong-Hoon, who always maintains an arrogant attitude.

“I have never failed to achieve a goal I set out to achieve. If you wanted to get first place, you got first place, and if you wanted to get results, you got results. “I brought everything I wanted!”

Cheon Jong-hun shouted like a wild beast facing an intruder.

“Are you jealous of me? It sounds absurd. “I am the one who gets jealous, not the one who does it.”

Cheon A-ram, who was looking at Cheon Jong-hoon’s anger with interest, skillfully changed the mood like an actor playing two roles.

“Yes, you are right.”

The changed atmosphere was like a fawning traitor.

“Even so, that man is just a job seeker, and my brother is the successor to the pillar of the SS. “Even if you have a small amount of talent, can you close that gap?”

It was a side that Cheon A-ram had never shown to Cheon Jong-hun.

“Cheon Jong-hoon is the man who will reach the top, and that man is the man who will reach the bottom. This is like an unchanging truth. “Do you think so too?”

Even he, who doesn’t like flattery or other flattery, seemed to be captivated by the sweetness of the words.

This is probably because it was Cheon A-ram and no one else.

Thanks to that, Cheon Jong-Hoon opened his mouth as if he was possessed.

“Long the floor? No, he’s not that talented.”

“well? Doesn’t that mean you have a good eye? It would be nice to use it as a scout. But that’s it, right?”

Cheon A-ram spoke sweetly, as if scratching Cheon Jong-hun’s itch.

“One of the sharpest swords. Just there. “There is no comparison with my brother, who was designated as the lord of the SS castle when he was born.”

Cheon Jong-Hoon shook his head and said.

“Visiting is not a word that can be replaced with a single sentence, ‘I have good eyes for seeing.’ It must be accompanied by expert knowledge of the genre, an innate sense, and the agility to not miss trends.”

It wasn’t just a talent that could be called that.

“But it’s okay up to this point. If you have that kind of talent, you can use it as one of the useful tools you said. But he’s a genius in other ways too.”

Although Cheon Jong-hun denies it, the reason he felt jealous of Seon Tae-yang was not because of his insight.

The ability to take a trainee who was holding on to bad habits like unusable waste to a level that would pass his aesthetic test in just 6 days.

In the world, this is an ability called producing, and it was a field in which Cheon Jong-hoon was more confident than anyone else.

“This was possible because the child named Winter was so talented? Of course it had an impact. “There is no way a child without talent could have followed that schedule.”

Cheon Jong-hun’s eyes were no longer looking at Cheon A-ram.

I was looking at Sun Taeyang in my memory.

“But, it’s definitely not the case that there are only talented children.”

This was only possible when the best producers worked together.

“Judgement, leadership, analytical skills, accurate knowledge of music and dance, and the ability to calculate and imagine the finished image. Above all, intuition to see talent. “I need all of those things.”

Cheon A-ram asked curiously.

“If you have that kind of talent, you have an older brother, right?”

“… .”

Cheon Jong-Hoon could not answer,

“wow.”

Cheon A-ram understood completely from his silence.

Cheon Jong-Hoon, who had such talent, decided that he could not do it.

This is directly related to the statement that Sun Taeyang possesses a talent that he cannot judge.

“He will definitely reach the top someday. And he will definitely draw his sword to strike me down. “The person closest to the top right now is me.”

Cheon Jong-Hoon still remembered the way Sun Taeyang looked at him.

A look in their eyes that doesn’t seem to understand why they say this is impossible.

The gaze of a genius looking at a criminal.

It was a familiar look.

Because this was the look that Cheon Jong-hoon often gave to other people.

“This isn’t a question of what his tendencies are. It is the fate of someone with talent that sticks out like an awl. “He will definitely rise to the top.”

Cheon Jong-Hoon shuddered slightly and said.

“I have no hobby of raising someone who will stab me with my own hands.”

Just as Cheon Jong-hun ascended to the throne, Sun Tae-yang will move in the same way.

Because he was the person who could do that.

“hmm… , I understand what you mean. “After listening to the story, it seems like a reasonable decision from my brother’s perspective.”

Cheon A-ram nodded and sympathized with Cheon Jong-hun.

But the main point was different.

“… by the way. “Whatever the reason, you ended up letting that man named Seon Tae-yang go, right?”

Cheon A-ram playfully turned the fork as if it were a trick, stabbed the snail, and said.

“Then can I have it?”

Cheon Jung-hun’s brow furrowed at Cheon A-ram’s provocative words.

“Is what I heard so far true? Do you think I’ll be happy to grant that?”

Cheon A-ram smiled and said.

“You and I are not in competition, right? It’s family. Don’t you think it would be better for me to take care of it rather than have that man sharpen his knife without knowing anything?”

“You and that guy don’t get along.”

“In what sense?”

“You smell a stench when there are people around you who approach you with selfish intentions.”

It was a chronic disease and talent that Cheon A-ram inherited from her grandfather.

The ability to distinguish a person’s impure intentions using only a supernatural sense of smell.

In times of turmoil, it was an ability that would have made him the king of a nation, but it was an ability that was not very pleasing to Cheon A-ram, the person involved.

This is because it creates hardships that are no different from suffering from tuberculosis.

Under the strict conditions of ability, most people stink.

You can change the food or the environment, but you cannot change people.

Because of this, she had to give up normal human relationships from the moment she was born.

“Well, that’s right. “If I’m next to a dirty person, the stench makes me sick and goosebumps, making it difficult to breathe.”

Jong-Hoon Cheon remembered A-Ram Cheon as a child, who was frequently taken to the emergency room because of that.

“I think it’s a really strange symptom. “I can tolerate dirty things well, but I can’t tolerate people who are dirty on the inside.”

Cheon A-ram playfully covered her mouth with her hand as if she had forgotten.

“Oh, because family is separate. “My brother, don’t worry.”

Cheon Jong-Hoon gave a suspicious look, but nodded and said.

“In the end, he was just taking advantage of a talented child for his own gain. Asking SS for help is in the same context. “This is completely different from the kind of human being you want.”

The Sun Taeyang that Cheon Jong-hoon spoke of looked like that.

“So you won’t have anything to do with that guy. He’s just one of the most ambitious people in the world. “There will definitely be a strong odor.”

“… “Well, I don’t feel like what you’re saying is true.”

“Does this mean I’m lying? “I have never lied to you in my life.”

“That’s right. My brother doesn’t lie to me. But there are many cases of hiding information, right? “It’s a story you don’t need to know.”

Just as Cheon Jong-hun knew Cheon A-ram, Cheon A-ram also knew Cheon Jong-hun.

“But now my intuition is speaking. “My brother is hiding something about that person.”

Cheon A-ram’s atmosphere suddenly changed from a sweet treacherous atmosphere to that of a hungry snake.

Cheon Jong-hoon felt pressured, as if he had become a prey.

“What did he say was the reason?”

“… “What reason are you talking about?”

“The reason I wanted to join the SS.”

Cheon Jong-hun looked at Cheon A-ram without saying anything.

Cheon A-ram made eye contact with him, then smiled and said.

“If you don’t want to talk, you don’t mind if I find out, right?”

Cheon Jong-hun, who looked at Cheon A-ram with bulging eyes, put down the silverware and stood up.

He then said as he opened his coat and put it on.

“Do whatever you feel like. “After all, Seo Soo-yeon is the only person who can satisfy the aesthetic sense of a person like you with myelopathy.”

“i think so too.”

Cheon A-ram said softly as he brought the sliced snail to his mouth.

“But I hope I’m wrong this time.”

***

The folding table in our cramped house was lined with popular delivery foods such as chicken, tteokbokki, and pizza, as well as cakes.

It was all bought with Grandfather Winter’s money.

Winter celebrated her acceptance by putting candles on the cake and toasting with orange juice.

My older sister looked embarrassed by all the fuss, but went along with it.

It was the attitude of an adult.

Neither I nor my sister were the type to celebrate such commemorations.

My birthday was just about 3 months later, so I thought, ‘Oh, now that I think about it, my birthday has passed.’ The end is to leave a short impression.

When I revealed the experience, Winter said:

“I’ve never tried it because I don’t have any friends! But I wanted to give it a try!”

… Oh my, winter.

There was no need to waste time talking like that.

Still, there were some things that were difficult to overcome.

“It could be a nuisance to the neighbors, so put down those birthday fireworks.”

In this apartment, which was made of cheap materials and had no privacy for sound, even a small firework could be considered a sufficient nuisance.

Winter put down the firecrackers with a sullen face.

“… yes.”

While my sister was not looking at us, she silently threw something in her hand into the trash can.

I glanced at it, pretending not to see it, and saw that it was a birthday celebration firecracker.

… Sister, you were actually enjoying it.

I immediately changed the topic for my sister’s honor.

“But what are you going to do with your accommodation?”

“… yes? Accommodation? Since I passed the exam, won’t the company provide me with accommodations?”

First of all, I wanted to point out the idea that it is taken for granted that trainees who are not in the debut group are provided with accommodations.

But luckily, SS, as one of the top three entertainment companies at this time, began providing lodging to trainees from local areas, so it wasn’t such a mistake.

But that was the story when the contract was signed.

“You haven’t signed a contract yet, right? “We decided to only do short-term training.”

“… “Didn’t I pass?”

“I should say I almost passed, but not yet. You have to pass the short-term training to fully pass. “The company can only sign a contract with confidence if they actually see what that person’s behavior is like on a daily basis, right?”

There were so many people who seemed so sincere during interviews and tests, but showed strange behavior when they actually became trainees.

“That’s why we do short-term training before signing the contract. I’ll probably have to do short-term training for at least a week to a month before I can talk about a contract, right? That’s why I asked. “If I’m going to stay in Seoul for a while, I need to find accommodation.”

Perhaps it was something I hadn’t even thought about, but Winter’s pupils were shaking.

Eventually, Winter caught a glimpse of my sister and I, and silently knelt down and bowed her head.

“one month. No, please excuse me for one more week!”

“Get out of my house!”
