Chapter 111 – Resolution (2)

The waiting room of a broadcasting station.

[Neptune’s ‘Come Back Again’, which returns with fresh charm, ranks 11th!]

The mid-level rankings were announced on a TV in a corner.

11th place? Things are going well without Lee Song-ha…

Not long ago, Hyeon Ha-yeon’s [Pure Love] Was released and instantly gained a lot of popularity.

Han Jeong-sook, who is known as the music industry’s guaranteed check, had good lyrical melodies and sad lyrics, but it was her appearance that played the biggest role in Hyeon Ha-yeon’s popularity.

Sharp appearance and explosive body that has cultivated numerous male fans.

Despite her unapproachable appearance, she was liked by all the staff on set with her friendly personality.

It is said that a word without a foot travels a thousand miles. Naturally, Hyeon Hayeon’s reputation was growing day by day, and thanks to that, she was busy without much time.

She shifted her gaze from the TV and looked at the seat next to her to see Hyeon Hayeon looking down at her floor with a blank expression.

… He’s like this again.

These days, Hyeon Hayeon is a little strange.

After her debut, she seemed happy day by day, but she started making mistakes little by little, and recently she started getting bruised more often.

She had a complex-looking face.

Even if you ask her what’s wrong with her, she just says no…

I tapped the armrest of Hayeon’s chair and called her.

“… Hayeon.”

But she had no answer.

She tapped her arm and called again.

“… Hayeon?”

“Yes!?”

Hyeon Hayeon seemed to have finally come to her senses and quickly turned to me and answered.

Hyun Ha-yeon was looking at me with her breath a little out of breath. She looked nervous and sensitive somewhere.

“… “What are you thinking like that?”

“Uh… Sorry…”

Hyeon Hayeon kept flinching and slightly averting her gaze every time her eyes met, so it felt very unfamiliar.

… Did I really eat something wrong?

I needed to know her cause, so I could think about it and help her, but she kept avoiding talking to me, so I had no choice.

However, it didn’t have any effect on my work, so I just skipped it without going into it too deeply, but for some reason, I had a feeling that I shouldn’t just ignore it today.

When I glanced around, I saw several staff members sitting comfortably and fiddling with their phones.

… It might be a bit like that here.

Thinking that she should ask Hyeon Hayeon on her way home from work today, she brought up another topic and talked to her.

*

Hyeon Ha-yeon’s score today is 5th place.

Considering that it hasn’t been long since her debut, her performance was incredible.

It was encouraging to see that their name was clearly imprinted on the public even though they did not manipulate album sales or commission streaming companies.

Many staff members congratulated me on being proudly ranked high among prominent idols…

“… Ah, thank you.”

Despite such outstanding results, Hyeon Ha-yeon’s reaction was somewhat lukewarm.

The staff laughed it off, saying that Hayeon was still dazed, but Hyeon Hayeon, who was awkwardly laughing along, had a look of worry on her face.

She had to go straight to her office and get her feedback, so she hurriedly got ready and left the station.

The road to the office.

Even if we were talking all the time, there was a strange silence in the car, and the only thing making noise was the radio.

“…”

She slowly turned her eyes and glanced at Hyeon Hayeon, who was sitting in her passenger seat.

She was staring at the road with a blank expression, and I couldn’t tell what she was thinking.

… Worry, worry…, I wonder what it is…

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with an answer, so I sped up my pace a little to finish the feedback and get her to leave work as quickly as possible.

She arrived at the company and headed to the practice room with Hyeon Hayeon to receive feedback on today’s performance from the trainer.

[♬♪♩~♪♩♬ …]

Inside the small monitor, the stage Hyeon Ha-yeon was on today was playing.

It felt like there was a strange tension in the practice room.

Soon the stage ended, and the video stopped.

The trainer who was looking at her monitor quickly turned her head and spoke to Hyeon Hayeon.

“… Hayeon, I think you are well aware of today’s problem.”

Hyeon Hayeon, who was very discouraged by the trainer’s words, lowered her head and answered.

“… Yes…”

The trainer commented that the pitch and beat were okay, but it felt a little flat because the emotion wasn’t properly conveyed.

… Did you?

Actually, after listening to the performance today, I thought that although it wasn’t 100%, I sang it well enough.

Maybe it’s because I don’t have hearing ears, but I didn’t really feel it.

However, looking at the fact that Hyeon Ha-yeon nodded without saying anything, it seemed like there was really a problem somewhere.

I couldn’t express my emotions…, Perhaps Hyeon Ha-yeon’s concerns may have had an influence.

After giving feedback, the trainer said there was no need to practice separately and sent us away.

While waiting for the elevator, I spoke carefully to Hyeon Ha-yeon, who was looking a little serious.

“… Hayeon.”

Hyeon Hayeon turned her head and looked up at me.

“… If you have any difficulties, be sure to tell me.”

Hyun Ha-yeon met her eyes for the first time in a long time, and after looking at her for a while, she said.

“… Yes.”

I took the elevator that arrived at the same time and headed to the parking lot.

The road to Hyeon Ha-yeon’s house.

She still had a slightly serious expression on her face, and she tried to say something, but eventually gave up and focused on driving.

As she listened to the radio playing in the car, she arrived at Hyeon Hayeon’s house.

She parked the car in front of her house and spoke carefully to Hyeon Hayeon.

“… Hayeon, I have plans tomorrow too, so get some rest…”

But she didn’t seem to have any intention of getting off.

Hyeon Hayeon suddenly lowered her head slightly and spoke quietly.

“… “Oppa.”

“… Huh?”

She hesitated several times, wondering what she was going to say.

Thinking that it might help her with her troubles, she stayed silent and waited for her to speak, and soon, as if she had made up her mind, she slowly raised her head and continued speaking.

“… Brother is…”

She raised her head, made eye contact with me, and spoke her words carefully.

“… Do you believe in fate?”

“… Huh?”

… Fate… ?

She was embarrassed because her unexpected words came out.

When I was embarrassed and asked again, Hyeon Hayeon brightened her eyes and asked again.

“Brother is… “Do you believe there is fate?”

“… Well…”

She gave a vague answer to the sudden question, but Hyeon Hayeon paid no attention and continued her speech.

“… You know, things like enemies from a past life or reincarnation.”

“… Hmm…, … Huh?”

… What?

In an instant, a cold sensation passed through the back of her neck and her body stiffened.

She left me frozen and quickly started adding to her words as if Hyeon Hayeon was making excuses.

“Well, I’m having a nightmare…, Repeatedly … “Oppa, come out.”

“… Me, me?”

… Probably not.

“… A person who looks exactly like my brother…, Came out a few times, … With me… Okay, let’s go to sleep…”

Hyeon Hayeon’s story made me nervous, and my mouth watered.

She didn’t seem to know how I felt, but she continued speaking.

“I did…, Just…, Strange women appear and take her brother away…, Her heart just ached…”

“… Now, just a moment, Hayeon, calm down a little…”

As she continued to speak, Hyeon Hayeon became a little more excited and started rambling. The moment I reached out my hand to stop her, Hyeon Hayeon grabbed my hand.

… Sigh!

She reflexively tried to pull her hand away, but Hyeon Hayeon’s strength could not withstand it.

“Oppa! He’s rolling around with another woman in front of me, and I can’t do anything…”

When Hyeon Hayeon held my hand tightly and trembled, her head suddenly felt like it was going to break, and her heart started pounding.

“Oh, brother…, I don’t need a woman like me…, I don’t like it, hehe…”

I felt dizzy with my heart beating in my ears.

Hyeon Hayeon, who was so excited and shaking, now even cried and begged me.

“So, when I told you not to throw it away, my brother said I was crazy…, Bam…”

She had been quiet for a while, but her head felt like it was going to explode, and she was completely out of it.

I desperately tried to escape from Hyeon Ha-yeon’s grasp and blurted out anything.

“Now, just a moment, Hayeon…, Let go of this hand…”

But she didn’t seem to have any intention of listening to me.

“Oh, brother, you won’t abandon me, will you? Can I still be next to you? I heard you and Lee Ji-yeon are dating, but you’re holding back…, Are you going to abandon me? Huh?”

There was madness in Hyeon Ha-yeon’s eyes as she stared at me with tears streaming down her face.

Because Hyeon Hayeon was excited, she slightly tightened her grip, and the hand she was holding started to squeak, and she was in pain.

I desperately endured her pain and tried hard to comfort her.

“Oh, no…, Hayeon, no, calm down, calm down…”

After she said no several times, he relaxed his grip and took advantage of that opportunity to pull her hand away.

The moment she took her hand away, the headache that had been wrapped around her head disappeared like she had lied about.

Hyeon Ha-yeon asked as if confirming my feelings once again.

“Sniff…, Ah, no… ? I won’t throw it away… ?”

I gently massaged the hand that was being held and answered Hyeon Hayeon.

“Why would I abandon you?” … Hayeon, it’s all a dream, it’s nothing, so just ignore it, okay?”

I made eye contact with Hyeon Hayeon, who was sniffling, and carefully added a word.

“… “Can you tell me if you have another strange dream?”

Hyeon Hayeon watched her slowly nod her head, let out a short sigh, took out the handkerchief she was carrying and handed it to her.

“… Now, if you go in like that, your family will misunderstand.”

“… Yes…”

She took her handkerchief and desperately rolled her head as she tried to calm down by wiping away her tears.

Hyeon Hayeon had her dream and I came out.

And strange women took me away…

He said it wasn’t even a one-time dream, but that he was having it every night.

… Isn’t this dangerous?

No matter how much you think about it, the identity of Hyeon Hayeon’s dream was a memory from the past.

However, if Hyeon Hayeon really started to regain her memories, she would have been called by the goddess herself.

Recently, I haven’t been able to meet the goddess because I’ve been hanging out with Jiyeon Lee, and she hasn’t even called me.

No matter how busy the goddess is, would she have overlooked such a big matter?

My thoughts were jumbled together, and my mind was confused.

“… Sorry brother… “

Hyeon Hayeon’s voice brought her to her senses and she looked to her side.

She held out her handkerchief and lowered her head slightly, glancing at me.

She quietly took the handkerchief and took it, and Hyeon Hayeon continued her words carefully.

“… I just left again…, Disappointment… “You didn’t do it, right?”

Seeing Hyeon Hayeon fidgeting with her hand, she unconsciously stretched out her hand and tried to grab it, but she quickly withdrew her hand and responded.

“… No, I won’t be disappointed by something like this, it’s okay.”

I remembered all the things Hyeon Hayeon had done so far.

… I’ve been through some things so far, but to this extent…

She seemed a little relieved and apologized repeatedly.

“… Yeah, it’s okay…, Get some rest today, and if you have any strange dreams again, be sure to tell me, okay?”

“… Yes.”

Hyeon Hayeon got out of the car, bowed to me and ran into the house.

I just turned the car around and headed home.

… I must not overdo it today.

I thought that in order for Lee Ji-yeon and her honeymoon to be happy, they must meet a goddess.
