Buuung-.

After a brief treatment at the hospital, I got into Sanggu’s car on the way to work.

Since I didn’t even have to go to school, I could have just stayed home and rested… .

‘There’s no one home anyway… .’

Since no one was home and there was nothing to do, I decided to go to work early.

His legs were wrapped in compression bandages to secure his ankles.

I felt like I wouldn’t be able to practice dancing in this condition, so I touched my ankle with a dissatisfied expression, and Sang-gu, who was driving, spoke first.

“… Yerin.”

“… Yes?”

I couldn’t help but be taken aback by this.

This was because Sang-gu, who was usually loud-mouthed, rarely spoke first.

And today, Sang-gu’s tone of voice is more than usual… .

“… … I’m sorry.”

I was full of feelings of regret.

“… It’s because of me.”

“No. I absolutely don’t think it’s because of Sanggu oppa.”

I actually never thought that Sang-gu was responsible for the Namgung Su-ho incident.

Even though Sang-gu had urgent work to do, he was adamant that he would give me a ride to the house.

I was the one who persuaded Sanggu oppa to get off in the neighborhood first.

But Sang-gu didn’t think so, frowning slightly and asking me carefully.

“… Earlier, I saw you flinching when the doctor was bandaging your foot.”

“… … .”

“… Have you become afraid of unfamiliar men?”

Sure enough, just now, when the doctor grabbed my ankle to bandage it… , At that moment, I remembered that guy coming towards me and I flinched.

but… .

“Not to that extent… , I think I was a little surprised that someone grabbed me as I had just started work.”

“… … .”

“It’s not serious. It’s true.”

It wasn’t as severe as trauma or PTSD as Sanggu oppa worried.

It will get better with time.

“So, Sanggu oppa. Don’t feel weird and don’t feel sorry. I have nothing but gratitude to Sang-gu, who always gives me a ride and protects me.”

“… Yes.”

Sang-gu’s eyes sparkled for a moment, perhaps because he was a little moved by those words.

Then, he gripped the steering wheel a little harder and spoke as if he was resolute.

“I will never let something like this happen next time. If any bastard approaches you impurely… , it will blow away the CEOs of large corporations, members of the National Assembly, and even the President.”

“Fuuhu.”

Of course, it was meant as a joke, but Sang-gu’s expression was very serious as he said that.

At this, I laughed heartily for the first time in a long time.

It was because the sight of Sang-gu’s determination was so funny and reassuring.

**

Sang-gu wasn’t the only one who said he would protect me.

When I arrived at the office earlier than usual in the morning, Lee Ji-woo heard the news and immediately rushed to the office… .

“Huhhh… , Yerin… Hmm… , There is no reason to bother this little kid… , ugh… , Of course, it’s 10cm taller than me, but anyway… , ugh… , Yerin, teacher will protect you from now on… , blah blah… , From now on, the moment that sasaeng fan bastard catches my eye, I will stab him with a real knife… , huh… .”

“… Teacher Jiwoo, calm down first.”

… With a face covered in tears, he hugged me tightly and wouldn’t let me go.

“Kuhuhuhhh… , What is this about Yerin’s ankle… , 그 시발새끼, 개새끼, 병신새끼, 인생낙오자새끼, 변태새끼… . Just crash the car and die. Ugh… .”

“… Teacher, I just sprained my leg for a moment… .”

“Eeee… , Yerin… , ugh… .”

After a long hug where I didn’t know who was comforting whom… , Lee Ji-woo began to take out a bunch of things from the backpack he had brought with him.

“Uuuh… , slurp… By the way, Yerin, take this quickly… .”

“… What is all this?”

“… As soon as I heard about you, I went around early in the morning and bought it, Huong.”

They are… .

Three-stage stick, self-defense spray, self-defense knife, whistle, etc… , There were various types of self-defense items.

“Hmm… , black… , I wanted to get a gun, but I couldn’t get one, so I only prepared these… . Ugh… Wow, Yerin… , I always carry these with me when I go out… . Hmm… .”

“… … .”

… No, I’m not a Weapon Master.

If I were to carry all of this around and get caught by the police, it would be easy for me to be misunderstood.

Still, I couldn’t ignore Lee Ji-woo’s sincerity in preparing this for me, and I felt like I would cry even more if I refused, so I nodded.

“… Yes, sir. I will write well.”

There were many of them that were actually usable, so I picked up a few and tried them out.

Chop rock.

Especially this 3-dotted stick.

“Oh.”

It’s small in size, so it’s portable, and it unfolds very smoothly, so I thought I could beat up 10 guys like Namgung Suho if I had this.

‘It seems like a fairly high-end product… .’

Although it may be a little excessive, I felt Lee Ji-woo’s concern and love for me, so I hugged Lee Ji-woo one more time.

“Thank you, teacher.”

“Huhhh! Such a good boy! Oooh!”

After that, it was the beginning of Lee Ji-woo’s overprotection.

“Yerin… , the teacher brought an ice pack. The teacher will stick with you 24 hours a day and ice your ankles, so you can relax… .”

“Yerin… , I’m not bored… ? Do you want to watch a movie with teacher? What genre do you like? You stay still. I’ll bring you a list of movies you like… .”

“Where are you going, Yerin? what? restroom? If that’s the case, tell me sooner! Get on your back! Teacher, I will carry you safely to the bathroom. what? It’s okay, but it’s okay… ! Ugh… Yerin, your ankle is sprained right now. How are you okay? .”

In this way, Lee Ji-woo treated me with care, as if I were a glass craft, and did not hesitate to serve on me himself.

This was burdensome, so when I refused, she immediately burst into tears, so I had to be treated by her like a princess, just as she wanted.

Even… .

“Yerin… , aren’t you hungry? When I’m in a bad mood, I need to eat something sweet. Should I order something delivered?”

“… No, I ate earlier so I’m full… .”

“… Hmm. ”

“… Okay, teacher. Order it, order it.”

“Ugh… Teacher, I’m ordering donuts and cake, so I have to eat them all today without thinking about the calories… .”

He said that eating sweets would make him feel better, so he ordered a lot of sweet things and urged me to eat them.

“Teacher… , isn’t that too much?”

“Huhhh… , If it were Yerin back in the day, she would have eaten this much… .”

“… … .”

Fortunately, though, I ate better than the average 19-year-old high school girl.

Plus, I actually like sweet things… Luckily, I worked hard and was able to devour the donuts and cake that Ji-Woo Lee ordered.

But the problem started from there.

“… … .”

When Sang-gu saw that I was eating sweets well, he thought it was time to quietly go out… .

“… Yerin, here are glutinous rice donuts and pretzels… .”

“… … How many are there?”

“… Roughly worth 100,000 won.”

“… … .”

“… Eat a lot.”

I bought a huge amount of glutinous rice donuts and pretzels.

There was so much of it that I thought Mr. Twist had just stolen the whole thing.

But what… , at this point, you might have just thought that these people think of me this much… , the people at Brother Planning were people who did not know the degree.

“Yerin-!!”

“Ah… , brothers.”

Although I didn’t know their names, I memorized their faces and greeted them often as they came and went. The gangster brothers from Kang Hyeong-man’s organization.

As if my story had spread throughout Brothers Planning, they stopped by my monitoring room one after another as if to visit the hospital.

and… .

“… What is all this?”

“I bought some snacks on the way.”

“I heard girls like this kind of thing these days?”

No one came empty-handed.

Macarons, cookies, churros, potato chips, etc… .

Thanks to this, the monitoring room, where snacks were already piled up, gradually became a snack garden.

‘At this level, I can’t eat it all even if Big .’

It was a time when I wondered if people in this industry had such big hands.

“Yerin.”

“Ah, boss.”

Kang Hyung-man, who went out to work in the morning because he had a lot of work today, came back.

When he came in, there was nothing in his hand, so I figured that snacks had finally not been added to the snack garden, but… .

“You came… , what… ?”

Grumble.

Behind Kang Hyeong-man, a man wearing a bread hat was dragging a three-tiered strawberry cake that looked like it would be used at a wedding.

“… … .”

“… … .”

When the final boss appeared, everyone looked at it blankly, and only Kang Hyeong spoke as if he was embarrassed.

“… I was having a meeting at the hotel, and Mr. Lee Ji-woo asked me to buy some sweets.”

“… … .”

The first thing that broke the mood while everyone was in a daze was Lee Ji-woo’s slap.

“Boss!! Are you kidding me?”

“… No, I told you to buy the most expensive one. so… .”

“No, I told you to buy it because the mango shaved ice there is famous! Where is the mango shaved ice?”

“… It’s so popular that you have to wait an hour to get it.”

“Huhhh… , Yerin… , the boss is so indifferent… . Yerin can’t even wait an hour for you… , ugh… .”

“… I’ll buy it.”

“Wait a minute… !”

When Kang Hyeong-man turned around as if he really wanted to buy it, I urgently grabbed his sleeve.

“It’s okay, boss. It’s enough.”

“But mango shaved ice… .”

“No, it’s really okay. and… .”

Who would look at this scene and think this is a gangster company?

The Brothers Planning office building, which was usually full of men in black suits and full of testosterone, became a dessert buffet today.

I thought that the pile of snacks that didn’t fit with the brothers’ project over there showed concern and affection… .

“Thank you… .”

“… … .”

“Thank you all so much… .”

I am so grateful to everyone who took the time to comfort me.

And this covers up what happened yesterday, which was like a nightmare to me… , it became a good memory.

**

So, I spent the day eating snacks and lounging around at the Brothers Planning office building.

The reason why I spent all my time at the Brothers Planning office building when I couldn’t practice because I had an injured ankle was… .

“It’s almost 10 o’clock.”

This was because today was Friday when Naaah aired.

Even if it’s better now, it only takes two more contests and it’s over.

From now on, every little detail had a big impact on the final voting result, so I was nervous and watched to see how the production team would edit it this time.

and… .

“… … Huh?”

“… … Wow.”

Lee Ji-woo and I, who were watching the screen, were surprised as soon as we saw the beginning scene of Na-ah.

That’s right… .

[We would like to offer our sincere apologies to the cast and viewers who were hurt by the production staff’s excessive editing in episode 5 of My Idol Academia.]

The Naaah production team, who had only shown a noble and arrogant side… , This was because as soon as the broadcast started, they were admitting their mistakes and slamming Granjeol.
