Chapter 1556 – [Social Debut]
For Eden, who has a lot to worry about with living in a living room, going to college, and living in society, Sion and I take care of the modeling side of things. It’s not different, it’s to separate the people who request Eden to appear in broadcasts and commercials.
It’s so damned bad, even though the agency has filtered them out, if you look through them, you’ll find some bad quality ones. There was no need to create problems by getting involved with those guys, so we had to take care of that.
“It seems like an ordinary commercial shoot from this company, but the president is a third-generation chaebol and there are rumors about it. I have experience receiving hospitality, so the purpose is obvious.”
“It’s so fucking disgusting to see these bastards hanging around. I wish they would come out quickly and get themselves screwed.”
“First of all, since it’s annoying, I’ll have to take away the management rights of their affiliates and abuse them.”
“I’ll ask you for that part. I can only crush and kill you.”
In addition to those guys, I also removed those that gave the company a bad image or that could be controversial. There are quite a few left, but there are still quite a few things to do, so I’ll have to ask Eden to look and choose later.
Meanwhile, Eden prepared to go to MT and took care of various things. Since the kids are going in their prime, they are excited and prepare to take various things with them.
“I need to drink a lot!!! I need to bring about 20 bottles of fairy tears!!!!”
“How much are you going to drink?”
“A lot!!!!”
“Okay, have fun. Don’t get in trouble, and be careful with guys.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll draw a line.”
Eden will be good at that part. Our Eden is light and eccentric and gives sex jokes all the time, but she is surprisingly serious when it comes to male relationships. That’s why I’m still single.
If Eden had decided, I think he would have started beating up celebrities a long time ago… But instead, I would have shed tears of blood.
By the way, it will be summer vacation some time after Eden returns from MT. No, has it already been so long? High school goes by fast and slow, but why is college life so fast?
“Isn’t it because there’s a lot of work to do? Normally, when you’re busy, it feels like time goes by quickly.”
“I need to prepare to go on a trip during summer vacation. I’ll see my mother-in-law, and I’ll also take Eve to the dimensional civilization and take her on a tour.”
“It would be a good idea for Eden to get a doctorate as well.”
“That’s what I was thinking.”
By the way, Eden is now an adult, so she’ll be busy even though it’s vacation. At that time, we should remodel our store and improve the system to create a better store.
Ah!!!! There really is a lot to do!!! If you don’t organize your schedule, things will go wrong later!!!
Anyway, while I was busy getting ready, Eden’s MT date was approaching, and I packed a lot of things into a large suitcase and prepared to leave.
“There’s a lot, Eden. Wasn’t that a two-day, one-night plan?”
“A change of clothes, snacks, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol.”
“The proportion of alcohol is high!!!!!”
Eden said she hadn’t gotten her driver’s license yet, so she agreed to give Jim a ride to college. If you think about it, Eden’s growth is clearly noticeable when you think about the fact that later Eden will be able to go out in the car by herself and that Eden will be able to drive.
When did my daughter grow up like this? She still feels like a child, but she still feels like she has grown up.
Soon we arrived at our destination, and a chartered tour bus to pick up students was already waiting. When I drop Eden off, I also give him some pocket money.
There are cards, and in today’s world it is more difficult to find a place that does not accept card payments, but pocket money directly given by parents is different in its own way. Besides, wouldn’t it be better if it was cash?
“Okay, pocket money. Go eat and do whatever you want to your heart’s content.”
“Wow!!! Hit the cash!!! I love you dad!!!!”
“Have fun. If anything happens, I’ll contact you, okay?”
“Yeah, okay. See her when she gets back!!!”
I saw Eden waving her hand and joining her classmates and her seniors. Although it is mainly crowded with men, it seems to be popular as it is not empty of women.
I hope my daughter has fun playing.
* * * *
Tourist buses heading to MT locations pick up students and head to their destinations. College students who were excited to have fun were talking noisily, and Eden was the center of the commotion.
A rather tall-looking male senior smiles and offers his words to Eden. If nothing else, he was a viewer of Eden’s Internet broadcast.
“Eden, I saw the last broadcast. Hey, you’re good at cooking? Where did you learn it?”
“Ah, senior. I learned that from my dad.”
“If it’s my dad, what about him from last time?”
“Yes, the person who came to meet me at the entrance ceremony before.”
“They really showed a lot of ugly behavior back then. That’s not why they took a leave of absence from school and went to the military.”
The incident that occurred on the day of the entrance ceremony was already known to the school. Eden was a new student who was known not only in the same department but throughout the school from the time she entered school, so she quickly became known.
He must have been embarrassed and had a hard time going to school because he was drunk and tried to flirt with a junior who had just entered school, and ended up getting scolded by his father. So they immediately took military leave and enlisted.
“Wow, you must be having a hard time. Military food didn’t taste good.”
“Huh? How do you know that?”
“I once had an older brother I know who was serving in the military and went to visit him and ate it. Even when I ate military jjambap, it was just the same.”
“Military Jjambap is not tasty.”
“But I heard combat rations are delicious in their own way, have you ever tried them?”
“Uh… Don’t girls hate talking about the military?”
“I don’t really care, right? It’s more fun because I don’t know anything because I’ve never been in the military.”
Eden didn’t say it in a pretense or pretense, but really said it, and the male seniors who had served in the military and the returning students’ eyes lit up. Male classmates who have not yet completed the course quietly join in and listen together, making comments and joining in the conversation with Eden.
There were a lot of men around Eden, and there were people who looked down on them. Most of them, mainly female classmates or female seniors, join in and join in the conversation, laughing as if it is fun without any emotions, but they keep a distance and watch with bad feelings.
There are people who are in awe of Eden’s overwhelming appearance, but a few people feel inferior and are jealous of what they do not have.
If it was her classmate, it would be better, but if it was a female senior, and even more so if one of the male seniors clinging to Eden was once a campus couple, there was no way she wouldn’t be jealous upon seeing that. It’s not that there aren’t any remaining emotions, and it’s not for nothing that the term love and hate exists.
And the object of that love and hate becomes Eden. She pretended that she was not her senior and asked questions that seemed to be deliberately offensive.
“By the way, is Eden your boyfriend if you know him?”
“No, I just know you, right?”
“Then a relative?”
“No, I’m not even a relative.”
“Then you’re just saying we’re acquaintances, but there’s nothing like that in a relationship between a man and a woman. Isn’t he interested in you too?”
“Probably so. But I don’t see that oppa as the opposite sex.”
Instead, she confidently nodded and passed it on, so she could not question him further. Eden knew how she felt and what her purpose was, but at least she laughed it off. Because she couldn’t just start a fun MT with her face blushing.
However, the male senior, who was the fundamental cause of her jealousy of Eden, criticized Eden without even knowing how she felt.
“What’s wrong with you, Sooyoung?”
“What did I do?”
“You’re touching a child who was still. What’s the problem?”
“No, there’s nothing wrong with it, but why are you acting like this all of a sudden? Oh, Jun-seok, you’ve always been like that, right? You’re picking on me for no reason.”
“… Why are you bringing that up here? We parted ways on good terms.”
“Good? Good? Do you think it was a good breakup?”
“Hey, what’s wrong with you both? Why are you fighting?”
“For now, calm down and sit down. The juniors can also watch.”
As the atmosphere became hostile, people around them tried to stop the two people. However, the messed up atmosphere did not return easily, so the atmosphere inside the bus was cold until they arrived at the facility where they would be staying.
After arriving, I was so excited that I forgot about the fight earlier and looked around the facility where I would stay for the day and packed up my luggage.
“Wow, you seem to have a lot of money this year. Are the facilities better than last year’s MT?”
“That’s right. Didn’t they push the budget because there was a celebrity?”
The process was wrong, but the answer was right. Because Zion provided a separate budget to help us become good MTs, we were able to rent a hotel and use it as a room for two people, and the meals were buffeted style with good ingredients. Thanks to this, there were no problems with the facility.
The representative of the department, Eden’s classmate, hands out papers with the MT schedule written on them. Although it was short as it was a 2-day, 1-night itinerary, there was a lot to enjoy, such as a talent show, courage training, and a barbecue party in the evening.
“Ah, Eden. By the way, are you going to participate in the talent show? Your seniors and classmates were really looking forward to seeing you appear.”
“Me?”
“Yes, I think it would be okay to come out and do a model walk just once, how about that? Anyway, among us, at least a few teams have to appear in the talent show.”
“Well, quotas and such don’t really matter. Still, I have something to do, so I’ll leave.”
“I have to write down what I’m going to do and pay it separately, so what are I going to do?”
“Magic. I used to do it when I went on a school field trip.”
“Oh, that sounds fun. If you have anything else to prepare, let me know.”
“Okay.”
After packing up, it’s lunch. Other students liked it as it was a buffet style buffet with a variety of dishes, so you could get tens of thousands of won per meal, but Eden liked it the most.
In fact, she can order as much as she wants, and it is a buffet with unlimited refills, but the beauty of a buffet is that you can eat as much as you want.
“Delicious!!!!”
“Eden is your model. Is it okay for her to eat like that?”
“When I eat, the fat goes to my chest and buttocks, and I’m fine.”
“I want to fucking hit you…!!!!”
My classmates’ reaction was the same as Eden’s friends. Although she is a woman, Eden is also the enemy of women.
In the afternoon after lunch, she spent some time listening to the department chair and professors talk about their careers in the department and various stories about future college life. Among the 2-day, 1-night MT schedule, it was the only time for education rather than play.
It was a bit boring, but since there was nothing to do but play in the evening, I endured it and soon the real MT leisure time arrived.
Before the evening event, Eden gathered her props to prepare for her talent show. It wasn’t that difficult for her because she used things that were commonly seen around her, such as bags and paper cups.
“Eden, do you need anything else?”
“Hmm… A rock?”
“Why is that? What kind of magic are you trying to do?”
“The magic of turning powder with bare hands.”
“… Let’s not do that. I think it will ruin the atmosphere if we do that.”
“Hmm, that’s a pity… I’ll do it.”
Time passes and the sun begins to set little by little. The students gathered ready to show off the talent they had prepared.
There are many things we have prepared. Some people practiced singing, some practiced dancing, and some people seemed to have made up their minds to bring a guitar and play. On the other hand, in anticipation of their performance, Eden also gathered at the place where the teams that would show off their talent were waiting.
“Oh, Eden. You do magic? That sounds fun.”
“What about your senior?”
“I’m B-Boying. I tried it in high school.”
“It will be fun to perform as a senior, I look forward to it!!”
The quality of the talent show was uneven. There were some insignificant performances that were performed simply to match the number of teams, but there were also performances that were quite worth watching. However, no matter what the performance, on a day like today, it actually brightens the mood because you can overcome mistakes and mistakes with laughter.
Eventually, it was Eden’s turn to come to the front of the stage. She was already a celebrity, and when she came out on stage, she was met with loud cheers and applause.
“Hello!!! My name is Eden Choi!!! I prepared a magic trick this time, so please enjoy watching!!!”
Eden brightened her mood by showing off a few magic tricks. There were some magic tricks she used on a high school field trip, but they weren’t enough, so she added some more, and one of them was a card trick.
Take her applicant and guess what card he drew at random was. For other magicians, it would be a simple trick, but for Eden, it was very simple because all he had to do was read the Gaia record.
“The card you drew is… Clover 7!!! Is this right?”
“Wow!!! You got it right!!!!”
“How did you really get it right? Didn’t someone tell you?”
Next is bag magic. Show a bag with nothing in it and summon a cat inside it and show it as if it was taken out of the bag. The audience cheered at the sight of a cat popping out of nowhere.
“Wow!!!!”
“Okay, I’ll give you some when I get home, so help me do magic.”
“Wooooo!!!!”
“10. I’ll give you 10. Okay?”
“Grrr!!!”
They are surprised to see that cats can communicate with each other, and also amazed by the magic that follows. The atmosphere heated up as the magic was comparable to that of a regular magic show, such as a cat levitating or disappearing and appearing at the back of the stage.
In this way, the talent show ended successfully and Eden became an audience member and watched other people’s performances. The cat, which has not yet returned, is receiving affection from other female students and purring.
The sun has completely set and the darkness gradually deepens. And after the talent show, it was a good time to hold the event.
“What was next?”
“It’s called courage training. Some of the seniors have already gone out to dress up separately.”
“I’ll be surprised when I see it later.”
“Are you afraid of ghosts or something, Eden?”
“I’m not afraid of ghosts or anything like that.”
“Then?”
From Eden’s point of view, the ghost is an object from which she must relieve her resentment and achieve Buddhahood. She didn’t know it when she was young, but now she isn’t afraid of spirits or ghosts.
Rather, it was she who defeated the evil spirits that others feared and even their leader, the Demon King. There’s just something scarier than a ghost.
“Is it scary to be a ghost or a person that pops out in an eerie atmosphere at night?”
“… That’s definitely true.”
Eden didn’t think she would enjoy her courage training this time, so she decided to enjoy it differently.
Since ancient times, before training your courage, you have to tell a scary story to set the mood.
