Chapter 26 – Doubt (2)

“···Lee Ji-yeon?”

I asked back at the absurd statement, but the goddess just stood still.

···Why is Lee Ji-yeon here

Even though I waited for a while to see if she would give me a hint, the goddess didn’t seem to have any intention of moving.

When she thought about it, she seemed to be taking her time and struggling before telling the goddess to be careful of Jiyeon Lee.

She said that her purpose as a goddess is to lift the curse of evil spirits, but as a goddess, she has things to do.
I don’t know what it is, but she must be working as the ‘Goddess of Luck’…

She said that with some of her returned powers, she obtained information by interfering with records of her past.
In the past, I had no idea what the connection was between the record and Lee Ji-yeon.

I’ve seen a lot of pasts so far, but I’ve never seen a woman who resembles Lee Ji-yeon.

Considering that she and the Demon King were born very similar, just in different environments, it was difficult for her to connect with Lee Ji-yeon, saying they had met in the past.
The goddess said she could guess, but she gave hints, but she didn’t reveal anything.

As she waited for the goddess who was still standing there in a daze, she imagined all sorts of things, but no matter what assumptions she made, she could not find a connection between Lee Ji-yeon and my past.

After waiting for a while, the goddess finally started to make her moves.

“···Are you okay?”

[···Yes]

She wanted to ask a question about her comment earlier, but it seemed difficult to expect an answer from the goddess.
She asks the goddess about her recently returned powers, which allows her to see more into the past, she says.
This seemed to be the limit of the information she could give.

“More past?”

[···Yes, your past is much bigger than you think. There are only a few records of the past that have been visible so far.]

[I made a list this time.]

The goddess raised her hand and a fairly thick book appeared.
The thick leather cover and heavy thickness gave it a somewhat nostalgic look.

It looked like it was made after a karaoke book.

There was nothing written on the cover, but when I flipped through the first page, the contents were written in a familiar table.

[Hero 1 – 65y, 0001]

[Hero 2 – 78y, 0002]

[Hero 3 – 82y, 0003]

···

“Isn’t this a karaoke book?”

[···Prepared efficiently···]

“···Why are there so many heroes?”

[That’s because there are many times the hero ended your life…]

“···Then what is the number after it?”

[···Age organized in a modern way.]

It was a useless consideration.

One page was divided in half and had 200 letters written on it, all of which had the names of warriors written on them.

I looked at how far the hero could claim his name, and it ended sooner than I thought.

···

[Hero 263 – 11y 0263]

[Demon King 1 – 512y 0264]

After this, the devil king and the hero were written in turns.

New names were seen occasionally, and various names such as saint, emperor, and great wizard appeared.,

After roughly summarizing, the average number of years of service for the Demon King was the longest.

Since the Demon King used magic, it seemed like he could have made me live longer.

Turning to the previous page, we looked at the average age of Hero records and found that they rarely exceeded 100 years of age.

While looking through the records, I discovered something strange.

It was understandable that hundreds of years were written in a world where magic existed, but I repeatedly saw episodes with 1 year and 0 years written on them.

Did he die at such a young age?

[···It is a record of turning the episode around because you were jealous of the woman who was pregnant with you···]

···Shocking content was written. It was more absurd than fear.

This is not love, this is the result of mentally ill maniacs.

Since I didn’t experience it myself, there weren’t many parts that really touched me.

I was just filled with the feeling that I didn’t want to suffer.

Who would accept cruel and painful torture in the name of love?

If Hyeon Hayeon hadn’t appeared before her eyes, she would have thought meeting the goddess was just a dream.

If Hyeon Ha-yeon and Baek Ga-eun regain their memories and start going on a rampage, how can we stop them?

Should I sacrifice my body to calm them down?

···That is no different from a prostitute.

I wanted to pass it off as a joke, but I couldn’t laugh it off because there wasn’t a similar past.

···It wasn’t long, but I enjoyed the time I spent with them, and I thought it would be a shame if they disappeared now.

“···Saint? “Who is this person?”

[I raised a fortune with the saint I saw last time…]

There were so many different types of death.

Saints, emperors, and great wizards had considerably more shares than expected.

Similar content continued toward the end, and I turned the page to the last chapter.

[Childhood Friend 1 – 17y 8765]

The last page was empty, with only one line written on it.

It was absurd that I had repeated my life a whopping 8,765 times.

In the meantime, an unfamiliar name appeared.

“···Childhood friend?”

[···]

Even when she gave the goddess a look asking what it was, she didn’t show any reaction.
In other episodes, intuitive names such as warrior or demon king were written, so it was easy to associate them.

However, she could not remember her childhood friend who appeared only at the end.

It is not training that goes beyond the human category.

The records written in this book can be viewed directly through the power of the goddess.

[···The record···is the most recent and up-to-date information, so my strength is not enough.]

Looking at the goddess struggling to speak, it seemed like this was information that could not be touched yet.
Unfortunately, the information about the ‘childhood friend’ could not be confirmed.

*

A few weeks passed, and peaceful days followed.

After a brief deviation, Hyeon Ha-yeon’s concentration improved noticeably.

She is rising step by step and is expected to be a promising member of the company.
Her family was also becoming more comfortable as they entered a stable situation.

The media quickly noticed and tried to report on Baek Ga-eun’s life as a trainee, but Baek-il Group had already moved in and started controlling her media.
Trainers continued to praise her acting skills as she matured day by day.

She was concerned about the goddess’s words to be careful of Lee Ji-yeon, so she approached her for no reason…

“What you’re doing these days is kind of pretty, isn’t it?”

When I saw Ji-yeon Lee patting her butt and smiling brightly, I thought she had relaxed her strength for no reason.

[To the representative office today]

For some reason, the CEO left a message early in the morning.

Since she was a representative who rarely made this kind of contact unless it was really urgent, she came to work in a month and went straight to the representative’s office.

“Oh, I’m here, just sit down.”

After hearing CEO Choi’s words, she sat quietly on the sofa and waited for the CEO.
She seemed to be in deep trouble, and CEO Choi, who muttered for a while, sat across from her with a solemn expression, as if he had made a decision.

“Superman, what to do… No, let’s do one favor.”

“···What kind of request do you have?”

“···Please meet Han Jeong-suk”

“···Do you mean composer Han Jeong-sook?”

Composer Han Jeong-sook

Jiyeon Lee wrote and composed her debut song ‘Old Love’.
She has been a composer for quite some time and retired after leaving behind many famous songs. The last song she left behind was Jiyeon Lee’s Old Love.

It was a huge hit with its faint melody, lyrics that resonated with many people, and beautiful tone.

It is also a song that laid the foundation for the growth of CG Entertainment.

It was known to the public that the song was received as a gift from Han Jeong-sook, an old friend of the CEO.

The facts are different.

The CEO and Han Jeong-suk, who have been friends since childhood, debuted as singers and composers and achieved box office success.

Han Jeong-suk debuted as a composer just because she wanted to be with CEO Kang Choi, but she ultimately failed to achieve her love.

The following year after his debut, the CEO fell in love with a fellow singer, and they got married.
Han Jeong-sook, who remained by her representative’s side for a long time as a composer, eventually retired.

After that, the CEO divorced due to various incidents, but it was unknown whether Han Jeong-suk’s wish came true.

“Yes, we need Han Jeong-sook’s song to make her current Hayeon debut.”

“···”

The CEO said he spent a lot of time and money trying to find Hyeon Hayeon’s debut song, but he couldn’t find a song that was satisfactory.

“··· If Han Jeong-sook’s song is received, she can significantly speed up Hyeon Hayeon’s debut schedule.”

There were many topics to draw attention.

Numerous articles will be poured out with the story that Hyeon Ha-yeon, who has a similar image to Lee Ji-yeon and is already as popular and expected as an idol within the company, will receive a return song from famous song maker Han Jeong-sook.

What is the difference between Baek Ga-eun and Hyeon Ha-yeon?

Baek Ga-eun has a gorgeous appearance and a background that no one can match.

Although her field is different from Baek Ga-eun, Hyeon Hayeon, who has equally promising skills, has no background.

Hyeon Ha-yeon knew it or not but was competitive with Baek Ga-eun.

Unlike Baek Ga-eun, whose debut is already visible, she just believed in the words to wait and repeated her practice.

Although she was pretending not to do so, I couldn’t leave Hyeon Hayeon, who was secretly asking me about Baek Ga-eun and looking helpless,

I didn’t want to see Hyeon Hayeon, who trusted me and followed me, get frustrated.

“···What do you plan to do if you don’t like the composer’s song?”

The CEO, who was leaning deeply on the sofa and staring blankly at the ceiling with vague eyes as if reminiscing about the past, spoke in a confident voice.

“That won’t happen”

“···Han Jeong-sook’s songs have always appealed to me.”

*

I couldn’t refuse a request that wasn’t the CEO’s request, so I ended up stepping forward.

I thought Han Jeong-sook would also like it if I went to see it, but the CEO said she didn’t have the courage to go see it and passed the information on to me.

[XX-dong, XX-gu, Seoul…]

Han Jeong-suk’s songs are still very popular to this day.

She lived in a time when copyrights were not properly taken care of, but I heard that she was able to make a lot of money with the help of her representative.

In comparison, he lived frugally with his house and car.

However, I heard that she hasn’t given up on composing yet, and that she regularly goes to work at her small studio.

At this time, Han Jeong-suk is in her studio, so she came to her studio.
She set up her own studio in a corner of a commercial building on the outskirts of Seoul.

“Room 301…”

‘Knock’

‘···Who are you?’

A middle-aged woman’s voice was heard beyond the tightly closed door.

Han Jeong-sook is probably right.

“This is Kim Cho-in, the CG entertainment team leader! “I came to see composer Han Jeong-suk!”

Even though I could clearly hear my voice, I couldn’t hear anything for a while.

Just when I was wondering if it was a mistake to reveal that I was from CG Entertainment, the door started to move little by little with a clanking sound.

“···Please come in”

The door opened.
