Chapter 32 – Getting Started (3)

“···CEO, I can’t do this.”

CEO Choi was fiddling with his cell phone with a shameless look on his face.

“No, if you don’t go, who will take care of Jiyeon Lee?”

He glanced at me as if he was trying to avoid my gaze, and even turned his chair around.

I guess he realizes how absurd the request is.

Since I left Jiyeon Lee’s charge, Director Choi has been in charge of most of Jiyeon Lee’s work.

That person would be enough to manage Jiyeon Lee.

“···Isn’t Director Choi here?”

“···He’s busy, no”

The CEO made up excuses and excuses that weren’t there and nailed it.

Still, this crossed the line.

Out of anger, I kept pushing, and the CEO eventually got angry.

“···I now have two children to raise. Hyeon Hayeon even made her debut…”

“Oh, who told you to leave forever? “It’s only this week!”

“… How do you leave the room for a week or two?”

“Chin-ah… I beg you… Please go!”

There was no use in getting angry, so now he started to cajole me.

“Hawaii, you like it, right? When are you going to go to Hawaii? “I haven’t been there either!”

“I will fully cover your expenses, so please come back… If you don’t go, I will really die…”

I was curious about the CEO’s intention to send me away by even pretending to feel sorry for me.

It seemed like there was something to do with Lee Ji-yeon, but I was just worried.

A passport was left there not long ago.

I’ve never made a passport before, but somehow I made one using my employee ID photo.

Then today, I sent Ji-yeon Lee a plan to go along with her overseas filming

It was a ridiculous plan, with only three days of filming during the two weeks and the rest being free schedule.

Seeing the busy Lee Ji-yeon take off such a long schedule, it was clear that she made her plans with Lee Ji-yeon’s influence.
Somehow, there was a reason why I bought a lot of clothes for summer vacation.

Asking someone to move or leave now, at the most important time, means to openly sabotage them.

As a person raising Hyeon Hayeon, I need to intervene in many, if not all, areas.

I’ve only just decided on the title of the song, but I can’t wait to be away starting next week…

CG Entertainment is a large entertainment company. Therefore, this may be my last chance to take the initiative.

But in the end, he escaped from the representative’s office without being able to reach a deal with the representative.

Recently, Hyeon Hayeon is receiving PT for her debut stage.
He is tall and has more strength than muscle mass, so he is emerging as a promising star in the fitness world.

Hyeon Hayeon didn’t like being noticed for her own power.

When she arrived at the gym, Hyeon Hayeon, who was in the middle of her stretching, saw me and waved her hand.

“Ah, brother! “It’ll be over soon!”

“Ah~ Hello~

The trainer who was helping her, Hyeon Ha-yeon, look at me and hummed in greeting.

The pink leggings and tight-fitting tank top design looked good to attract men’s attention.

“···Hello.”

“It’ll be over soon~ It’s okay to wait a while~”

“···No, I’ll wait over there.”

She just gave Hyeon Hayeon a quick glance and decided to wait at her counter.
Waiting wasn’t boring as I watched the big brothers exercising vigorously on the other side.

“Oppa, I’m done!”

Hyeon Hayeon came up to me after finishing her workout.
The short top paired with dark leggings highlighted her large breasts.

Her bangs, wet from her sweat, were disheveled.
As if she hadn’t caught her breath yet, her deep breath made my heart flutter.

“Oh, sweat… I’ll wash up…”

As Hyun Hayeon quickly headed to the women’s locker room, her buttocks swayed slightly, forcing her attention.
I was resentful of myself for being swayed by Hyeon Hayeon, who was like her younger sister.
I erased my thoughts about Hyeon Ha-yeon as I saw the male members wrestling with a piece of iron across from me.

Not long after, Hyeon Hayeon appeared wearing black pants and her white hoodie.

“Oppa, I waited a long time…”

“···No, let’s go”

On the way back with Hyeon Hayeon, who had to take lessons, Hyeon Hayeon, who had been hesitant, pretended that she had just remembered her and brought up her story.

“Oh, that’s right, Teacher Yul talked about my oppa earlier.”

As expected, Hyeon Hayeon was not good at acting.

“… Him? Why?”

“He just asked me if I had a girlfriend.”

“···What did you say?”

“I said there was one.”

Her ex-girlfriend opened her eyes black and tried to pretend to be her girlfriend, so she wasn’t wrong.
Hyeon Ha-yeon looked at me as if she was worried that I was telling my story as I wanted, and it was so cute that I burst into laughter.

“Good job”

“···Oppa, don’t you date?”

For some reason, it was refreshing to see Hyeon Ha-yeon digging into such a topic.

She said she had a crush, but it seemed like she was interested in a romantic relationship.

“I can’t do it because there’s something more urgent than dating”

“···Uh, which one?”

“You have to debut before you can date or not.”

Of course, Baek Ga-eun should also debut, but it was not mentioned.

“Ah… I see…”

There was no soul in Hyeon Ha-yeon’s tone of voice when she answered appropriately.

In the sudden silence, she glanced at Hyeon Hayeon and saw that she was looking at the window and thinking deeply about something.
Hyeon Hayeon, who had been looking at her for a while, still turned her gaze, opened her mouth cautiously.

“Oppa, if I debut and become successful… Only believe in me. Got it?”

···Yes, I have to succeed to survive…

I wanted to convey my true feelings, but I couldn’t.

In the end, I talked around it.

“···Okay, I only trust Hayeon”

Hyeon Hayeon heard my story and must have decided something when she stopped the radio and played her debut song ‘Pure Love’.

[♬~♫~♬]

“How long~···”

Seeing her practicing while looking at the lyrics saved on her phone made her feel happy.

*

As soon as she took Hyeon Ha-yeon and sat down in her office, Baek Ga-eun suddenly appeared.
She spoke to me with narrowed eyebrows, as if she was dissatisfied.

“Oppa, why didn’t you answer the phone?”

“···Yes?”

“···Yes?”

Until recently, she often got into the habit of speaking politely to Baek Ga-eun, but every time she did so, she would repeat what I said and look dissatisfied.

“Oh, sorry”

“···So, brother, why aren’t you answering the phone?”

She glanced at her cell phone and saw that there had been three calls from Baek Ga-eun.
She seemed to have received a call when she turned off her cell phone, saying that she would not disturb Hyeon Hayeon’s singing practice.
I wondered why she called like this.

“···Sorry, I guess I couldn’t answer the phone because I was driving.”

Baek Ga-eun shook her head and looked into my eyes and said.

“···Did you eat lunch?”

“Oh, no”

Hyeon Hayeon reduces her food intake and does not eat lunch.
As I naturally followed her schedule, I also often skipped lunch.

Baek Ga-eun let out a short sigh and handed over a small plastic bag.

“I eat this and work.”

“···What is this?”

“I prepared it because I thought I wouldn’t be eating lunch because I’ve been following Hayeon around these days.”

“···”

When I opened the plastic bag, I found a sandwich, a drink, and the familiar strawberry-flavored vitamins.

Baek Ga-eun occasionally appeared like a ghost, gave her nutritional supplements and snacks, and then left.
I somehow found out that I had skipped lunch today, so I bought my favorite sandwich.

No matter how rich Baek Ga-eun is, she couldn’t help but eat what the trainee gave her.

“… Hey, thank you so much…”

“Oppa, take care of your body now, so you don’t have a hard time following me around. Enjoy it,”

Baek Ga-eun smiled as if he would not listen to her and left for the practice room.

“···Ha”

She took a deep sigh and took out a peach-flavored drink.
This is also my favorite taste.

···How did he know my tastes?

“···Mr. Choin, have you talked to Gaeun?”

I flinched at the words of a co-worker across from me.

This employee asked in a subtle tone if he had heard the entire conversation with Baek Ga-eun.

“···Yes”

“···They didn’t say anything to me…”

It’s been a while since I’ve seen an employee who usually wears round glasses, but we still use polite language.

Even though she was asked to address her in a more relaxed manner since she was younger, she still used the polite term, but it seems she was quite surprised to see Baek Ga-eun talk to her just recently.

While I was looking for something to say, the employee struck first.

“···Please let me know later when it becomes easier.”

“···I understand.”

To avoid the awkward atmosphere, I grabbed an envelope and ran to the break room.

*

For the first time in a long time, I was able to meet the goddess with my sanity.

[···Long time no see.]

“···So”

The goddess I saw after a long time looked somewhat haggard.

Until now, she had only seen the sacred light emanating from her, but somehow the light seemed to have weakened, and her voice seemed to tremble a little.

“···You seem to be very busy with work.”

[···No.]

There was definitely something there, but I didn’t think I was at the stage to say it yet.

There were a few questions that arose while dealing with Hyeon Ha-yeon and Baek Ga-eun recently.

We decided to resolve it and decide on a future direction.

“···First of all, before you regain your memories, do the demon king and the hero have different personalities from the past?”

The goddess seemed to gather her thoughts for a moment, but then she opened her mouth.

[···Yes, it is greatly influenced by the environment in which it was raised, but its essence does not change.]

Hyeon Ha-yeon and Baek Ga-eun had good personalities, but their actions were like those of a hero and a devil.

It didn’t seem like it was time to be on guard yet.

“···Are there any auras when the memories start coming back?”

Fortunately, even if their memories begin to return, it is said that they do not come back immediately, but rather gradually, as if collecting fragments.

Although they haven’t shown anything special yet, it was necessary to recognize them in advance.

[···There is. In the case of heroes, they tend to be challenging and seek recognition, while in the case of demon kings, they begin to show a tendency to stalk and move as they please.]

It is said that in most of the past, they showed similar phenomena.

In the case of Hyeon Hayeon, she seemed to be trying hard to fulfill the responsibility that was placed upon her.
However, he did not take extreme actions like the warriors seen in the past.

Baek Ga-eun also didn’t show anything special.

He seemed very interested in me, but it wasn’t at the level of stalking.

Maybe it’s a sign of her trust?

When I see that he respects my actions, he doesn’t even seem to be trying to control me.

Fortunately, they don’t seem to be at the level to be particularly concerned yet.

“Well, how do memories come back?”

[···If it’s like this, it’ll be okay. I will receive memories in my dreams in the same way as you.]
