Chapter Index

    Meanwhile, Naaah’s audience seats.

    Yerin’s parents, who were watching their daughter’s happiness after winning the championship from the front row, had mixed expressions even though they were celebrating.

    The first to speak was Yerin’s mother with a dark expression.

    “Honey… .”

    “… … .”

    “Maybe I should tell Yerin? Yerin won and I am so happy… .”

    “… … .”

    “I’m sure I’ll be very disappointed if I find out later… .”

    Yerin’s father sighed once at Yerin’s mother’s words and shook his head.

    “Yes, but… , I decided to keep it a secret for now, so I have to keep it a secret.”

    “Ah… .”

    Until now, the two had no sense of guilt even though they were preying on their own daughter.

    Even those two people now thought that their choice had crossed a line.

    It was a time when the two felt sorry for their daughter for a moment.

    Turrr.

    Yerin’s mother picked up her ringing phone and answered the phone.

    “Hello.”

    [Oh, sister!]

    It was her younger brother, Yerin’s maternal uncle.

    [I just finished the agreement and came out. thank you!]

    “… Yes.”

    [I need to treat my sister and brother-in-law to a meal. Where are they now?]

    “Ah… , Yerin came to see the stage.”

    [Oh right. Yerin said today was the last day of the program, right? Shall we go see Yerin’s face after a long time?]

    “That’s it. You know very well that Yerin hates you.”

    [Kuk, that’s right.]

    Yes.

    Yerin absolutely hated her maternal uncle.

    That was because Yerin’s maternal uncle was the trash of trash.

    Yerin’s maternal uncle was born with an outstanding appearance, following his older sister’s example, despite not being able to do anything.

    Accordingly, since high school, he has been beating up girls who liked him and taking money from them.

    He lived a debauched and arrogant life from a young age, as rich women fell in love with him even if he flattered him even a little.

    He only wore designer clothes, and when he got into an argument with someone, he would not tolerate it and sometimes resorted to violence.

    But such a life ultimately has its limits.

    Yerin’s maternal uncle drove dangerously while hugging a woman and got into a car accident.

    There were no casualties, but the unfortunate truth is that the car involved was a very expensive foreign car.

    The other side demanded a huge settlement and car repair costs… , this was not a level that Yerin’s vain uncle could compensate.

    In response, he opened his hands to his sister.

    and… .

    Yerin’s parents found money from somewhere and paid the settlement instead.

    [If Yerin’s idol fails, send it to our store! Yerin’s price is really worth hundreds of millions a month! No, what is a month? Just a few days… .]

    “Hey, you bastard! That’s it for my one and only nephew… , What should you say to a child who isn’t even an adult?”

    [ah… , kekeke, of course it’s a joke, a joke. Well anyway… , Thank you so much this time, sister! Thanks to you, I didn’t have to go to the cafeteria. Thank you to my brother-in-law too!]

    “Okay… , okay.”

    [Okay, see you next time then. Bye~]

    Pop.

    As soon as the phone hung up, Yerin’s father asked Yerin’s mother.

    “You’re my brother-in-law, right? Did you reach an agreement successfully?”

    “Yes, it ended well. ha… , I feel sorry for Yerin for no reason because of this guy.”

    When Yerin’s mother frowned, Yerin’s father comforted her by patting her shoulder.

    “Yerin is nice, so she will understand. Above all, this is a ‘family’ affair, right?”

    “Ha… , yes. Yerin is kind, so you’ll forgive her, right?”

    “Of course. I’ve lost a lot of anger these days… , If we just pray a little, he will definitely forgive us.”

    No matter what they did over the past 19 years, they have never been forgiven by their daughter.

    So this time too, they had a firm belief that Yerin would forgive them.

    they… , no matter what you do.

    **

    After filming was over, I was on stage receiving congratulations from the contestants one after another… .

    “Yujin, congratulations on your debut!”

    “Hyejeong too! Congratulations so much!”

    “Yoojeong, I knew you would debut!”

    Taking advantage of the momentary interest in other Rookies members, I came down to the backstage.

    I was so happy and grateful to hear other people’s congratulations… This was because my body was very tired due to the intense performance on stage.

    As I desperately wanted to get refreshed and rest quickly, I headed to the waiting room faster than anyone else.

    I thought so… .

    “Hmm? Seol’s sister?”

    “… … .”

    There was someone who left the stage before me.

    She was a rumor.

    Yoo Seol was staring into space with a blank expression in the middle of the backstage walk from the stage to the waiting room.

    So I tilted my head and approached… .

    “… Yerin.”

    “… … ?”

    Yu Seol turned his head towards me as if his soul had been taken away.

    And I was soon able to understand why Yu Seol was in this state through her words.

    “Paying for my mom’s surgery… , Is that really you, Yerin?”

    “… … .”

    At that time, I remembered what Kang Hyeong-man sent me in a message last night.

    [Tomorrow, I will take care of the child’s mother’s surgery expenses and personally deliver the message to the child.]

    He said he was going to tell Yoo Seol, but he already did it.

    I nodded because the contest was already over and I had nothing to hide.

    “… Yes, it’s me.”

    “… What money do you have? Is your family rich?”

    “That’s not it… .”

    The money I paid for Yoo Seol’s mother’s hospital bills was none other than… .

    “This is my company down payment. The boss gave it to me before I appeared on Naaah… , I kept it well and used it this time.”

    It was the down payment I received from Kang Hyeong-man when I joined Brothers Planning.

    The first money that Kang Hyeong-man gave me was 50 million won.

    But I knew Bitcoin was hitting another high this year… , using this, 50 million won was increased to 70 million won.

    ‘If I had left it a little longer, it could have gone up to 100 million… .’

    Without hesitation, I paid this for Yu Seol’s mother’s hospital bills.

    After paying all the overdue hospital bills, emergency surgery expenses, and future payments in advance, the 70 million won quickly ran out of money.

    “… … .”

    Yoo Seol’s eyes got even bigger when she heard that my company’s down payment was used to pay hospital bills.

    She asked me with eyes as wide as the full moon and her shoulders shaking.

    “Why are you being so mean to me… .”

    “Yes, please say so.”

    “I don’t mean to blame you… , Why did you say all this after the contest was over? Why didn’t you inform me before the contest… ?”

    “… … .”

    Why didn’t you tell me before the contest that I paid the hospital bill? .

    There was a clear reason why this had to be done.

    “… I’m afraid my sister will feel weak because of that.”

    “… … .”

    “I wanted to compete fiercely with my sister until the end. However, if she had told me that I paid the hospital bill for her, she would have tried to give me the win.”

    However, because I did not say anything about the hospital expenses, Yoo Seol went on stage with more enthusiasm than ever.

    “I wanted to see my sister’s performance where she brought out all her skills. … I’m really sorry for not telling you in advance because of my personal greed… , Wow!”

    Crackling, wide.

    Before I could finish speaking, Yu Seol ran up to me and hugged me tightly.

    Wow.

    They were so close that I could feel Yu Seol’s heartbeat.

    Yu Seol, who was much shorter than me, buried her face in my chest and trembled.

    I felt my chest getting wet.

    “You… , I hated you so much… . Unlike me… , I hated you for being so bright… .”

    Yu Seol continued sobbing as if she was going to confession.

    “I hated you, who seemed to receive all the love in the world, unlike me… . If I could, I was going to hate you until the end… .”

    The mature Yoo Seol cries and shouts as if he was throwing a tantrum.

    I asked her, stroking her head as if I were a child.

    “Do you still hate me?”

    “That could be possible… ?”

    “Then how am I doing now? Please say it directly with your mouth.”

    Yoo Seol was covered in tears and cried out loud, trying not to break my heart.

    “is bad… ! If you already know everything, would you be satisfied if you had to hear the answer directly? I like you… ! I like you… !!”

    The face behind the layered masks of Yu Seol was truly foolish and innocent.

    Yu Seol hugged me with that stupid face and said in a whisper.

    “Thank you… , thank you… . I will never forget this grace… . forever… , no matter what… .”

    It was then.

    Tiring.

    A pop-up appeared above the head of Yoo Seol, who was pressing her face into my arms like a puppy meeting its owner.

    [You have met the conditions!]

    [You have the opportunity to make Yoo Seol (the main character) your servant!]

    [Would you like to try it? (Y/n)]

    I received a notification like this even after I finished the 4th contest.

    I failed back then… , I thought, I probably won’t do that now.

    At this, I grinned and willingly… .

    ‘Yes.’

    I shouted Yes in my heart.

    [You selected Yes!]

    [From now on, I will make Yu Seol my family member!]

    [Capturing… .]

    When I said yes, an hourglass appeared in the status window and started spinning, just like before.

    Tiring!

    Soon, the status window made a cheerful sound and covered Yu Seol’s body with light.

    And soon a new status window appeared.

    [New Yu Seol characteristics have been added!]

    [Characteristic: Great Protection Law – You have received His grace and become His person. You have decided to give Him your all. Your abilities, your body, your emotions… , everything. On the day when the devil’s heaven is established, you will enjoy all the glory at his feet!]

    [Characteristic effect: My life, my… … . : When you are with a Heavenly Demon attribute holder, all of your stats increase slightly! You get additional effects when the Heavenly Demon uses skills! Your obsession and loyalty towards the Heavenly Demon will increase significantly!]

    ‘Is it also the Great Protection Law?’

    Since the left protection law and the friendly protection law came out, I thought there would also be a great protection law.

    Of course, I didn’t think that the Great Protection Act would become a rumor.

    I compared the characteristics of Seo Yu-jin and Lee Hye-jeong’s left-hand protection method and friendship method with Yu Seol’s representative protection method.

    First of all, I noticed something different in the name of the attribute effect.

    The name of Seo Yu-jin’s left protection characteristic effect was ‘My Sky, My Master’.

    The name of Lee Hye-jeong’s Friendship Act characteristic effect was ‘My Sun, My Master’… .

    However, the name of Yoo Seol’s Daehobeop characteristic effect is ‘My Life, My…’ … ‘am.

    ‘… … ‘What does it mean?’

    I was curious, but there was no way to know that right now, so I moved on.

    Obsession clearly increased in the characteristics of the Left Protection Act, and loyalty increased in the characteristics of the Friendship Act.

    But the characteristics of Daehobeop are… .

    ‘Both obsession and loyalty… ?’

    Wow!

    Only then did I realize that Yu Seol’s arms that were holding me were stronger than before.

    This took my breath away for a moment… .

    ‘what… , I guess it’ll be okay… .’

    I thought about Seo Yu-jin’s case, thought she would be okay, and stroked her head.

    “Thank you… , I will never forget… . Never.”

    Meanwhile, Yu Seol snuggled all the way into my arms and pressed her face against me.

    As we are in perfect contact with Yu Seol, as if we are one with him, my chest becomes moist and my stomach is warm… No, it got hot.

    and… .

    ‘… Strange.’

    … For some reason, my whole body felt itchy.

    However, this did not make me feel bad, so I left the rumor as is.

    We hugged each other like that for a long time.

    When I started Naaah, I never thought I would have this kind of relationship with Yu Seol… .

    Come on.

    Well anyway… , because deepening bonds with colleagues is a good thing.

    I also won… , I gained like-minded colleagues with whom I had a deep bond… .

    Although there were many hardships… .

    For me, My Idol Academia had a perfect happy ending.
