Chapter 183: Those who stab you in the back (2)
TL: emptycube / ED: Isleidir
I startedit off It made it feel like this was an extension of lasses and a hat and headed towards the subway station It has been a long tio out this freely since Making Film broadcasted either
I saw celebrities' faces everywhere I looked on the main street Outdoor display panels, posters, banners, and billboards
There was so unique about this nor from an open café, and a bus stop with a poster of a soda drink that Neptune is negotiating a contract extension with
Although I had gathered a bunch of posters at ho them outside like this felt completely different When people showed interest in theave me the drive to jump up the steep stairs
When I saw abrand, I hoped Na like that as well When I saw a concert poster, I wanted Neptune to hold their own concert And when I saw foreigners, I dreahts extended out like spiderwebs
When I saw an actor that I had a good iht about which coned with and wondered when they would be available on the free agent market When I saw someone with a unique aura, I wondered whether they aspired to be celebrities
I saw Lee Songha wherever I looked on my way to the station
There was a poster of her on a contact lens specialty shop, and on the sas and necklace in a jewelry store She was also in a soju banner at a BBQ restaurant
Seeing the girls, who I was e feeling
”Wasn't the ? When did they change it to Lee Songha?”
”It's been a while now, you shut-in”
Young men chatted in front of the banner
”Isn't Son Chaeyoung prettier than Lee Songha? That's what I think”
”Dumbass, it simply comes down to preference between those two”
”I want to date Lee Songha but ha see seeant lady Soht?”
Nope, you're wrong
Elegant lady? Those words will bring you an early death
”Hey, of course, you need to put Lee Songha on a pedestal if you marry her! They say she earned 10 billion won last year!”
Not that much
”What useless debate They'll date and loine it?”
The chatting men cursed each other as they disappeared
I stared at Lee Songha's banneron my way
The subway station was crowded Only after standing for two stops did I finally find a spot to sit I put earphones on and pressed my hat down even more Since I wasn't a celebrity, people would usually stare out of interest when I was discovered, but some weird people appeared on occasion
I observed people's daily lives through lasses
”Hey, hey, look at theSunwoo?”
Jung Sunwoo you mean
A woman, who seelanced at ha nearby”
”Why would a celebrity ride the subway? They would be in a van or car!”
Our girls ride the taxi a lot too So about their whispers, a s crept up my face I didn't drive my minivan because it felt like this was an extension of irls and work Especially Lee Songha It seemed like she had completely rented out a corner of rained in my life
”Uncle!”
”This is soy sauce fried chicken, and this is green onion fried chicken Eat until you explode”
I threo chicken as bait to the rushi+ng quadruplets I used to be fine when the four of thes, but it was irew up like beansprouts during the time I didn't see them Has it been two years since I last saw the the chickens from my hands, the kids chattered,
”You want us to eat until we explode? Uncle, are you underesti us?”
”It's been one chicken for each of us since last year That's showing proper respect to the chickens!”
What respect? My brother and sister-in-lawon randpa were sad, saying hoe're all grown up now”
”I hope that our cousins are also quadruplets! Quadruplets are hereditary!”
”Don't say such scary things”
I entered the living roo my head It was filled with the s and so time since I heard these sounds
My sister-in-laalked out of the kitchen She had a bright s it was unbelievable that she had four children
”How long has it been? Maybe it's because we've seen you on TV, but you seem like a celebrity!”
”Ah, did you see the broadcast?”
”Of course, we did! The younger coworkers at my atched it a lot I was really tempted to tell them that you were my brother-in-law”
”You should have told thee secret”
”I can't If I tell the for me and a bother for you They'll definitely raph Also, they'll pestercelebrities to our cos It's so obvious”
My sister-in-law said bluntly before bea
”Hoork these days? Is it still fun?”
”Yes, I' I enjoy, so it won't do if it's not fun”
”That's good Go talk with your brother, lunch is almost ready”
As soon as she said that,on the sofa Then he brought me to the kids' room The room with the bunk bed was otten for theanized on their desk
”Tellsoently said For soly quiet, his eyes were particularly shi+ning at thisof e, I-”
”Had four kids I know”
I sat down on the floor and leaned against the bed Then I picked ht about it myself, but I didn't knohat to say first
This was difficult
”I' anyone”
”Then is it that, what do you call it, flirting situation? Or one-sided love?”
”This is a bit complicated”
”Is the person a celebrity?”
I nodded
My brother paused for a ,
”A woman? Or a man?”
”… A woman”
It was such an unexpected question that it broke the serious mood
”No, it's because you said it was complicated The entertainment industry is open to that You said that you packed a lot of side dishes for Mr Naha”
My brother's eyes becah the kids' desk and took out Neptune's h it and showed ha looked at the caha around h standards, isn't that too hi-”
He stopped ht in two glasses of cold water He was in such a hurry that the tray was overfloater I gulped down the glass and glanced at the closed door
Then I began talking about what I had been holding back
”I think Songha likes me”
”… What? Did she tell you?”
”No, I asked her if she likes me, and she said she didn't Never Even if she dies”
My brother, as listening with bated breath, frowned
”Then she doesn't”
”But I think she does At first, I thought she was si her out, because she was feeling a lot of pressure But it's not The more I look, you would have to be a fool not to notice”
Initially, I si this way because she had this excessive desire to have joon's relationshi+p But, no matter how I saw it, that wasn't the case While I wasn't as quick-witted as LJ, I wasn't a complete idiot either
”When, when did it start?”
”It's a been a while More than a year”
My brother duaped his mouth
”And you acted like you didn't notice all this tie it?”
I asked back while tilting lasses and pondered
”Ah, you said she told you that she didn't like you But if you like her back, you could try talking to her A lot of celebrities date these days Or is it because she can't have a dating scandal since she's a spokesmodel? Then you can just date in secret”
I shookas a secret in this industry It's only ain the country
If this broke out, the advertisers would cause a fuss and it'll also negatively irowth of her fanbase at an important time In this industry, someone beloved today could be cast aside toht be less intense if it was Seo Jijoon or Im Jooho appeared in the same drama However, it would be iffy with ative reactions than positive ones
However, the bigger problem was…
”If we are in that sort of relationshi+p, then I have to quit being her er There'll also be probleether like we are now, then there'll no end to nasty rumors And if we break up, it'll be even ha”
I stared at Lee Songha's photo
The ti her lines, experience hate co up at the saoal flashed past ht also be why Songha's vehe it”
Above all other risks, I couldn't bear to risk shattering our current relationshi+p
Rather than breaking a relationshi+p with someone I would like to work forever for a love relationshi+p that could one day go astray, it was better to bury ht about this
If, after a few more years pass, I have a firha had reached a position where she could bear dating whoever she wanted…
If Lee Songha's feelings didn't change even then…
Maybe…
”You did, but why do you suddenly want advice?”
My brother asked again The sentiments that filled my mind iped away A familiar snake slithered in their place I wet ,
”I've experienced a change”
”A change?”
”Songha said she wanted to stand on her own She wants to try working with someone other than me”
The snake shed its skin The s I should be co to fix her excessive reliance on me And it's a positive for her But…”
”But?”
”I didn't like that”
It felt like poison was dripping froha would depend on someone other thancrazy So I's of love for soer and celebrity”
If it was the second one…
I caht use Lee Songha's weakness to tie her down and beco That I ht be someone actually capable of that
I asked ain,
”What do you think this is?”
