Chapter 113 – Wheel War (1)

113

It’s fortunate that the reporter noona went out first with her parents just in case.
Even if it wasn’t so, Harin’s parents, especially Daye’s parents, were hardened at Harin’s declaration of being my girlfriend… You would have fainted if you had seen this.

Amidst the flashes of the reporters’ cameras, Elena, who had fallen off a little, laughed and made excuses.

“Ahaha~ It’s a joke~ It’s a joke~”

Damn, who would believe that excuse…
Elena and her fandom have calmed down.

… No, is it real?

Elena.
Her full name is Elena L Stewart.

I knew early on that the Stewart family was a prominent American political family.
Her grandfather is a four-term senator and her father is a high-ranking official in the administration. What was your great-grandfather, what was your great-grandfather, who were your in-laws, who were your eighth cousins, anyway, it is a family that is recognized in the political world.

There was nothing to investigate.
It was because the media made a lot of noise when the Olympic fever was in full swing.

Probably because one of the main cards that the Olympic Committee put up for box office was Elena.
And in fact, Elena is a superstar who is treated as a national sister in the United States, so it is said that this Olympics had a significant impact on the box office in the United States.

This is what she found out when she investigated after dating Elena. In fact, she said that Elena became America’s national little sister simply because of her looks or skills.

Of course, it would have been impossible without her looks and skills, but how many people does she have in the United States and how many talented people are there? Even with her looks and skills, she couldn’t be Elena with just that.

It was her mother who played the biggest role in helping Elena become the nation’s younger sister.

Her mother, who was famous as a Hollywood beauty actress in her youth, retired halfway from her entertainment industry upon her marriage and devoted herself to her family.

When Elena was 7 years old, her mother returned to the entertainment industry after spending a leisurely life raising her children. Her first move was an American version of parenting entertainment, modeled after the popular childcare entertainment in Korea at the time.

The American version of parenting entertainment is truly a hit, and her mother made an unprecedented successful return to the entertainment industry, and the cute 7-year-old Elena instantly became a national younger sister and became a superstar.

Whether she still resembles her father, who is famous in politics, or whether she inherited the talents of her mother, who is an actress, she stands out in this or that, and each of her intermittent appearances is a huge success. As soon as she started athletics, she quickly blossomed her talent, was elected to the national team at a young age, and succeeded in gaining an image of her talent.

With her outstanding appearance, her national team skills, and WASP elements and non-mainstream elements, she is literally considered one of the least anti-American superstars.

WASP is an abbreviation of White Anglo-Saxon Protestants, which refers to white Anglo-Saxon Protestants who form the main axis of American high society.

Elena is a typical blond-haired beauty athlete who grew up in a conservative Protestant family befitting a direct descendant of a prestigious political family. She was able to gain great popularity with many conservatives in the United States, just because she was a good WASP elite.

Her non-mainstream elements are due to her surprisingly complex lineage, contrary to her appearance, and her distant ancestors include blacks, and her close ancestors include leaderns and Asians, so she was able to make fans of black / Hispanic / Asian descent.

With her appearance, her skills, and a wide range of factors that can cater to the diverse and demanding tastes of the American public, she is considered one of the least anti-American superstars for this reason.

If you ask why this story came out all of a sudden—

“So you wanted to get out of her sister image?”
“Yeah! I’m sorry I didn’t tell you beforehand, Minjun.”

Because Elena is using this as an excuse.

On the way to the lodging in Elena’s prepared car.
Thanks to the advance notice of the number of 9 people, there was not enough tea prepared… Elena had prepared two limousines for four people and one for two people.

My parents didn’t know what had happened because the reporter sister had taken them out first, but they were still embarrassed by the crowds around us, so they sent them off in a limousine that could accommodate four people.

Since I had to discuss Elena’s sudden behavior and her next steps, I naturally tried to ride with her, but when I got into the car driven by Elena, it was a two-seater limousine.

Naturally, the remaining Oh Harin, Yoon Daye, Heeyeon noona, and reporter noona get into the last remaining limousine, and when they wake up, it is only the two of them with Elena.

Inside the backlit limousine, where even her driver’s seat was blocked by a thick partition, Elena was zealously defending herself.

… Anyway, is this planned?

“I’m an adult! Do you understand, Minjun? I don’t want to be a kid forever.”

She is no longer a child, and she is not even in her teens, but she is still the nation’s little sister, saying that she did it because she did not like her pure, clear, and clean image.

But. If Elena was a typical American beauty, her image as the nation’s younger sister would have fallen long ago.

Because Western girls, who are fast-growing, grow up to be a million light years away from their ‘little sister’ image even when they are in their mid- to late teens. Westerners’ standards of beauty are much stronger and tougher than those of Asians.

Elena, on the other hand, she is the typical beauty you would like in Asia.
A small, slender, delicate, soft facial line. Adding to that the usual easy-going and mischievous image, the title of ‘younger sister’ doesn’t fall off even after she’s over 20 years old.

“No matter how much she has the image of a little sister, she is over 20 years old. Does her image change just because she’s dating a guy?”
“It changes! Minjun, there are a lot of conservative people in America!”

After hearing Elena’s explanation, I was able to understand that the climate in the United States and Europe are surprisingly different.
The sexually liberal atmosphere that Koreans think of when they think of the West is closer to Europe, and the conservative families in the United States are shockingly conservative in Korea.

In fact, Elena’s family is also extremely conservative. It is said that only up to her father’s generation, women were taught premarital chastity.

That’s why it’s all a scandal.
Breaking news on the TV in the limousine… My face is open!!

Truly a free country. There are no mosaics at all!
Combining the tunes I learned at school and interpreting the screen, it seems that I am a broadcaster who guesses the relationship between me and Elena.

Even the picture of Elena, who followed me when I entered the training center, was put on the data screen where I got it… What is this?

“…It’s ruined.”
“It’s okay! I said it was a joke!”

Are you serious?
Who is the fool who believes that

Elena was straight.

“Min-Jun. People believe what they want to believe. No matter how absurd an excuse is, those who want to believe believe it. My ardent fans and Min-Jun’s fans will believe it was a joke, right?”

Indeed… No matter how much a celebrity gets into an accident, there is always someone who shields them.

“You still had a plan?”
“Then! Minjun, do you think I’m an idiot?”

I giggle and proudly raise my nose,

“Fans aside, who isn’t a fan?”
“Those people will change the image they have of me!”
“So, are you cursing?”
“…I said it was a joke, so it won’t be anti-sense.”

… None of this has been resolved.

Haha… Yes. What happened happened… Don’t fight them.”
“Fight? Not at all!”

Elena smiled strangely at my half-given sigh.

“I respect Min-jun’s ranking of women. Fighting. I don’t fight. Why would I fight? There’s no need to fight.”

The words that get smaller towards the end gave off a strange nuance towards the end.

* * *

When she told Elena about her trip to the United States, she told her to leave the schedule and plans to her.
I thought that a local (?) Would be better than me, Oh Harin, or Yoon Daye, who had never set foot on American soil, so I entrusted most of the schedule to them.

“This… Is it your villa?”
“Yes. This is all private property, so you can play as much as you want without worrying about the paparazzi!”

Beyond luxury, it showed what a true rich man’s journey is.
It starts lightly with a villa owned by the Elena family.

The horse was a villa, but it was an enormous mansion.

“Here… Can we use it?”
“It’s okay because I told Papa!”

Even Oh Harin, a member of a conglomerate family, is stunned by the huge mansion nestled in the enormous site.
After all, America’s class… Even Korean conglomerates will not bow down for money, but they will not build a mansion on such a huge site.

No matter how much I flew in first class, it takes more than 10 hours to fly from Korea to the United States.
It is 11 hours to New York, the shortest time to the mainland of the United States, so it is impossible to spend most of the day on the plane and hang out with the time difference.

In addition, there were parents in the party who were on a plane for the first time and even new to jet lag on a long-distance flight, so the first day was decided to relax.

The time to look inside the luxurious mansion, to be treated to food prepared by the so-called chefs, and to go to bed.

It’s a pity to lie alone on a big, soft bed.
Normally, someone would be by my side sharing warmth.

Then, the door opened with a squeaking sound.

“Who?”
“Minjun!”
“Elena?”
“Yes! It’s my turn today!”
“…Eh?”
