Buuung.

“… … .”

On the car ride home, I got lost in thought.

I remember PD Shin suddenly asking me if I wanted to change companies… , I was thinking about what I felt after overhearing the conversation between Seo Yu-jin and Yu Seol earlier… .

“Boss.”

“Yes, Yerin.”

Soon, I told Kang Hyeong-man, who was sitting in front of me, what I had experienced this time.

“The boss also knows. Naaaa main PD, new PD.”

“You know. Naaah, I even said hello to you during the pre-filming. The name… , Was it Shin Ji-cheon PD?”

“Yes, PD Shin Ji-cheon. Today, that person suddenly asked me if I wanted to change companies.”

“… What?”

Kang Hyeong-man opened his eyes wide and turned around at my sudden words.

Sang-gu’s brother, who was driving, also looked at me with a surprised face.

I answered quickly, raising my hand to calm the two shocked people.

“Of course I refused. But something suspicious… , He approached me in quite a detailed manner. He said he would connect me with the CEO of MS Planning… .”

“… … .”

“It seems like PD Shin is collaborating with MS Planning and trying to hijack me… , I think I should tell the boss.”

“… Yes, thank you.”

Kang Hyeong-man nodded with his usual expressionless expression, but I could see it.

There was a deep murderous intent behind his eyes.

However, Kang Hyeong-man must have wanted to hide that fact from me as much as possible, so he pretended to have a calm voice and ordered Sang-gu.

“Sanggu.”

“Yes.”

“Children, solve the problem and find out. PD Shin’s identity and his connection with MS Planning.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Then he turned to me with a small smile and said this.

“Yerin. Don’t worry about this anymore. There are only finals left until debut. You just focus on the stage. I will solve this matter quietly on my own.”

I guess I thought this was why I had been worried ever since I got in the car.

I smiled and nodded at Kang Hyung-man’s consideration.

And soon I… .

“Yes, thank you. president. And actually, I have one more thing to say… .”

“Tell me.”

“Actually, one of my close co-stars… .”

I told Kang Hyeong-man about another concern I was concerned about.

Kang Hyeong-man, who heard what I said… .

“Perhaps… , can you please find out?”

“Okay, let me look into that too.”

He nodded willingly again.

“Thank you, boss.”

To me, Kang Hyeong-man was like Dora

As long as I tell him about my concerns, he will solve everything.

For me, only Kang Hyung was truly reassuring and reassuring.

**

“Then Yerin. Have a good weekend and see you next week.”

“Yes, boss, thank you for giving me a ride today.”

Boom-.

“Phew.”

After sending off Kang Hyeong-man and Sang-gu, I headed home, exhausted.

Maybe it was because of the fatigue of the past week, but all I wanted to do right now was to lie down and sleep.

And as soon as I got home… .

“I went there.”

“Huh? Uh… ! Yes, Yerin, welcome!”

“… Hmm?”

I felt something strange.

First of all, the house is a little dirtier than last week.

There was a little bit of dishwashing piled up, and the living room was full of unfolded laundry.

It’s not that I didn’t do my housework at all, but it still feels like I didn’t do my best.

‘what… , I expected this much. These are people who have never had their hands wet with water in their entire lives.’

It was already predicted to some extent that father and mother would soon become overwhelmed with household chores.

But besides that… .

“Haha… , Yerin. Was it hard?”

“Uh, take a break quickly… .”

“… … ?”

My father and mother’s appearance and attitude towards me was very awkward. Like a person hiding something.

‘no way… ?’

At this, I felt a familiar sense of déjà vu and asked my father and mother in a sharp voice.

“Dad, Mom… ! Did you borrow money again?”

“… Huh?”

“I said that if I borrowed money one more time, I would never see my dad and mom again!”

That wasn’t a joke.

If my father and mother borrowed money again, I really planned to live without seeing them for the rest of my life.

When I shouted with all my heart, my embarrassed father and mother waved their hands as if they were being wronged.

“Oh, no! That’s not really it!”

“Mom and Dad really don’t do things like that anymore!”

“… … .”

I knew my dad and mom as well as they knew me.

Looking at your expression now… , It didn’t seem like Mom and Dad were lying.

It certainly doesn’t seem like I borrowed money… .

“Then what is it? Why are you looking at me like this?”

“That… , I tried to do all the housework until my daughter came, but I couldn’t… .”

“… … Ah.”

… Was it something like that?

but… , During this month, my father and mother noticed me a lot.

I guess he thought I would be disappointed to see the house in a bit of a mess.

“… … .”

When I thought about it that way, I felt sorry that I had doubted anything.

So I shook my head and rolled up my sleeves… .

“… I’m sorry for doubting you. You may be a little behind on housework. I’ll even help you with the dishes now… .”

“Oh, no… ! Yerin! Mom and Dad will do the housework! You can rest!”

“Yes! My daughter must be tired, so let’s take a quick shower and sleep!”

… My father and mother made a fuss and pushed me into the bathroom.

“… Yes, then I would like to ask you a favor.”

I tilted my head at my parents’ excessive behavior, but went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Over the past few weeks, my parents have raised me almost like a rich girl.

It was no wonder these two people stopped me from doing my housework.

Shoot!

After taking a shower like that.

“Phew.”

As I laid down on the floor of my personal room (formerly my dad’s computer room) with a blanket, my dad and mom slowly approached both sides of me.

“Yerin, instead of sleeping with dad and mom, are you going to sleep here again?”

“… Last time, I just couldn’t sleep, and now that I’m not a child, I have to sleep alone.”

But perhaps it had become dull as time had passed and I could no longer think of Namgung Suho even when I closed my eyes.

So there was no need to sleep with mom and dad.

“Okay… , It’s a pity, but that’s the way Yerin is. Go to sleep, Yerin.”

“But… , aren’t you going?”

Dad and Mom nodded, but didn’t think about moving away from either side of me as I lay on the blanket.

Feeling burdened by this, I asked, and both people answered at the same time.

“I want to see my daughter’s face for a while longer.”

“Yerin, I’ll stay here until you go to bed.”

“Ah… , yes.”

“But Yerin. Can you tell me what happened inside while you were sleeping?”

“… Ah.”

“My mom and dad are really curious about whether our Yerin is doing well or having any difficulties… .”

At my mother’s words, I was about to fall asleep but stopped for a moment.

‘Now that I think about it, I’ve never told my father and mother about Naaah.’

Still, we’re family… , I told my father and mother, thinking that I had been too indifferent.

“Then… , would you like to hear a little bit?”

“Yes… !”

In response to the two people’s answers, I closed my eyes and slowly began to tell the story from the first day.

From meeting Han Si-woo, Lee Hye-jeong, Park Yoo-jung, and Na Hanna to the changes in his relationship with Seo Yu-jin and Yoo Seol.

“So, I and Seol unni… .”

“Oh… , I see.”

As I explained slowly, I began to feel increasingly unbearable drowsiness.

It was hard to overcome this any longer, so I fell into a half-asleep state, and my father and mother stroked my head.

“My daughter… , You’ve worked hard so far.”

“… … .”

“There is only one left. One more time and you will become a real idol.”

“Going out into a bigger world. I’m sure Yerin will do well there too.”

“But wouldn’t it be difficult for Yerin to endure on her own? … Yerin, so… .”

My body is tired… , Dad and Mom respond to my words in quiet voices.

I let go of my last distraction and fell into sleep… .

“Are you planning on changing companies?”

“… !”

… As I was trying to sleep, I suddenly woke up to my father’s last whisper.

Flashing.

“… What does that mean?”

I opened my eyes, stood up, and asked my father.

“I am an idol thanks to someone, so why am I changing companies?”

“… No, just dad.”

At that time, my anxious feelings were boiling over from the bottom up… , I felt like a puzzle was coming together in my head.

“… Dad, Mom, have you received anything from me?”

“… … Huh?”

“Didn’t you hear that someone called your father and mother on your cell phone and asked if you were interested in changing your daughter’s company and offered money if you helped her move?”

“What do you mean? Dad just thought that Boss Kang’s company was too small to accommodate our Yerin… !”

“Not really, Yerin! We said this because we care about you!”

The two people once again had tears in their eyes as if they felt truly wronged.

It was a face that conveyed unfair feelings just by looking at it… .

“… Both of you, please give me your phone.”

How many years have I been fooled by that facial expression?

Coincidentally, on the day that PD Shin brought up the story of MS Planning, my father and mother also asked me if I was thinking about changing companies.

‘Is this a coincidence?’

It felt too uncomfortable to be a coincidence.

I needed to check more clearly, so I took the two people’s phones from the living room and searched through all the recent call list messages.

but… .

“… … Huh?”

Dad and Mom’s phones were clean with no signs of anything suspicious.

I thought I had been contacted by Shin PD or someone from MS Planning… , there was no record of a stranger on either of their phones.

When I couldn’t find any clear evidence, my father and mother started crying, saying they were really upset.

“Ugh… , Really not, Yerin-ah… .”

“CEO Kang, your company has no experience raising idols and is lacking in many ways… , That’s why I said it because I was worried… .”

“Huhhh… , No matter how bad we are as parents, we are suspected like this… , turn it off… , I’m so sad… .”

“Hello… , these are all our sins… .”

“Huh… .”

I was the one who was taken aback by the two people’s loud wailing.

I patted both of their shoulders with both hands and began to apologize.

“No… , I didn’t mean to doubt mom and dad… , sorry… .”

“Huh… .”

“Today, the PD suddenly told me some nonsense about changing companies… , I did it because I was sensitive… .”

And then I spoke about my honest feelings in a serious tone.

“Dad, Mom. After I debut this time, there will be a lot of temptation in the future.”

“Sniff… , … Temptation?”

“I’m sure many places will treat me well and ask me to come to their company after Naaah’s group activities are over. however… .”

“… … .”

“I like Brothers Planning. I never want to change companies… . So, father and mother, please respect my choice no matter what temptation there may be. Yes, can you give it to me?”

“Then… , of course… .”

“We are always on Yerin’s side… .”

“… … .”

How can saying that you are on my side be so unreliable?

Unlike Kang Hyeong-man, who was very reassuring even though they were adults, my parents made people feel anxious just by looking at them.

still… .

‘Let’s believe.’

I decided to trust my parents.

There would be no parent in the world who would ignore and abandon their daughter when she spoke so earnestly.

Above all, didn’t mom and dad say they would change?

and… .

‘I’m the one who makes the decision, so what can I do by seducing my father and mother?’

In fact, my father and mother’s role was not that important in changing companies.

It may be that I am a minor, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have the right to self-determination.

“I was sorry today. Stop it quickly and go back to sleep.”

“Hmm… , Yerin. Dad and Mom were so surprised… .”

“Can’t we sleep together tonight?”

“… … .”

What is this… , not even 17-year-old Seo Yu-jin.

I wondered if this made sense for people turning 40 this year… .

“… Yes, I do that.”

But today I feel like I did something wrong to two people… .

I just nodded… , I ended up sleeping with my dad and mom that night.
