Geon barely contained his boiling anger when he saw the two girls who hade to find him. After listening to ra''s exnation, he calmed down.
He scrutinized the girls, who kept checking his expression and seemed nervous, then stood up from his seat and pulled out a drink from the refrigerator to offer them.
"Drink, your lips are all dried up."
The two, who had been crying so much that they seemed dehydrated and their lips were cracked, dared not drink and just held the beverages hesitantly.
Seeing this, Geon''s heart melted and he smiled, raising his hand.
"Go on, drink. You''ll ruin your pretty lips."
Despite Geon''s repeated urging, the two were unable to drink, so he took the can from them, opened it himself, and handed it back.
"Here, drink and you''ll be forgiven."
At Geon''s words, the two hurriedly gulped down the drink, causing big teardrops to hang in their eyes as they coughed.Geonughed at this and then turned to ra, who was standing nearby.
"Was it YDN you mentioned? What happens if you get expelled from there?"
At the mention of YDN, the two girls looked terrified. ra calmly spoke to them.
"It won''t just end with expulsion."
"What happens then?"
"The two of you have already debuted. You have some fans, so they''ll need an excuse to exin it to them, probably by releasing false usations through articles. For instance..."
ra paused, looking at the frightened girls, unable to continue.
"For instance?"
"Scandals like being involved with a chaebol second generation, affairs with businessmen, drugs, conflicts among members, and so forth. The unknowing public will just criticize you."
Tears fell from Yunjeong and Jinyeon''s eyes at ra’s words. Geon crossed his arms with a serious expression.
"This ce is dirtier than I thought."
"It''s not just there. These things are openly done in the entertainment industry in Korea."
Seeing Yunjeong and Jinyeon''s shoulders shaking, Geonforted them.
"Don''t worry too much, I''ll help you out somehow. And thanks foring to me with such courage."
As they clung to Geon''s thighs, thankful yet unable to feelpletely relieved, they burst into tears.
"Huuuueeeeng!!! Brother, I''m really sorry, huuuuuaaahhh."
"Brother, brother. I''m so sorry, huuuuhh."
Afterforting the two, Geon spoke to ra.
"It''ll be hard for them to go back to the hotel, please find a suitable hotel for them to rest."
"Yes, I''ll prepare it right away."
"Thank you."
Geon looked at the clock; it was past six in the evening. After calming the still crying girls and sending them off, he sat alone on the sofa and sighed. ?
"Phew... things have turned out this way."
Feeling a strong need for a beer, he headed towards the refrigerator when the inte on the control box rang. Geon nced at the inte, took out a beer, and slowly approached to press the button.
"Yes."
"Kay, it''s the security room on the first floor."
"Yes, what is it?"
"A friend of yours who visitedst time hase. What should I do?"
"Friend? Who is it?"
"It''s Mr. Gusion."
A smile appeared on Geon''s face.
"Yes, please let him in."
"Understood."
As Gusion walked in wearing a checkered shirt and beige cotton pants, Geon, lifting a can with a powerless smile, greeted him.
"Gusion, you''re here?"
Gusion looked intently at Geon before approaching and asked.
"What''s wrong? Why the long face?"
"Ha, nothing... Sit down. Let''s have a beer."
As Gusion sat across from him and took a sip of beer, staring intensely, Geon replied weakly.
"Ah... just some troublesome stuff. But why did youe without calling? I gave you a phone, you could have called."
"Ah, my parents went back home, so I came to get my stuff."
"That''s good, your stuff is still here, so you can take it."
"Thanks for that."
Gusion stood up and checked that hisptop''s charger was properly connected, then pretended to be surprised.
"Eh? I left myptop on? AC, the home security system was also running; this will drain the battery quickly."
Geon took a sip of beer then turned his head.
"What''s this home security system?"
Gusion brought over theptop and sat next to Geon to show him the screen.
"Yeah, I set it up because sometimes when I leave my bench, some homeless people might steal my art supplies. If theptop is open, it saves the surroundings on the cloud like CCTV
."
Geon, uninterested at first, was about to drink his beer again when he stiffened.
"What? You mean it records the surroundings?"
"Yeah, why? Did you have a romance here? Hehe. Don''t worry, I won''t leak it, I''ll delete it."
"No, no... it''s not that! Can I see the recording?"
"Uh... it should be saved in the cloud. Why?"
"Show me!"
"Uh... just a moment."
After fiddling with theptop for a bit, Gusion turned the screen to Geon.
"You can skip a minute at a time by pressing the arrow. This screen is after I met you and left, so you can find and watch whatever part you want."
Geon took theptop from Gusion and rapidly pressed the arrow. He stopped the video at a scene where idols were in the room eating Suzuka''s lunchbox, looking serious.
"What''s up with that?"
In the screen, after everyone left the room, Geon and Soojeong seemed to be looking for something in the room. Soojeong then stood up abruptly, tore her shirt, and knocked over a vase while screaming.
Startled by the sudden noise, Geon stared at her nkly as shey on the sofa, thrashing and crying. Seeing this, Gusionmented with a perplexed expression.
"What''s with this woman? Does yourpany even hire actors? What kind of show is this?"
After watching the screen to the end, Geon leaned back on the sofa and grabbed his head.
"Phew... thankfully."
"Huh? What''s thankfully?"
A smile spread across Geon''s face as he hugged Gusion, who burst intoughter.
"What the heck, I''m not into that stuff, dude!"
"Hahahaha, Gusion! You really are an angelic friend to me! Hahaha."
Watching Geon call him an angel, Gusion scratched his head.
"An angel?"
Geonughed heartily and hugged Gusion again.
"Hahaha, yes! An angel!!"
Gusion''s expression turned strange, but seeing Geon''sughter, he felt a warmth in his heart. The unfamiliar feeling was awkward, and Gusion stood up, grabbing his bag.
"No, I''ll leave theptop here since you might need it. I''m busy, so I have to go."
"Already leaving? Why don''t you stay a bit longer?"
"No, I have some things to do. I''lle with Pay next time."
"I''ll see you out!"
Geon apanied Gusion to the first floor and saw him off from the Fantagio building. Grateful for his visit, Geon kept waving even as Gusion turned to look back several times.
With an awkward expression, Gusion waved back and turned into the alley, where a blonde young man leaning against the wall smiled at him.
"Phahaha, how does it feel to be an angel, Mr. Gusion, the ninth-ranked demon?"
Gusion red at Paimon and shrugged off his shoulder.
"Get lost."
"Phahahaha!! You like it! You feel good!"
"Get lost, you bastard!"
"Kahahaha,e on, where are you going! Kahahaha."
As Gusion hurriedly ran away and Paimon chased him yfully, they disappeared into the darkness. Lyn, sensing their power, watched from the fifth-floor window.
Lyn watched them with a warm expression and felt Geon approaching the fifth floor, then sat on the sofa.
Geon was excited to show theptop screen, and although Lyn already guessed the content, his expression turned cold once he confirmed it again. After closing theptop, Lyn pushed the screen aside and looked at Geon.
"It''s time to give it back."
Geon, who had no thoughts of revenge but was considering proving his innocence, paused at Lyn''s words.
Lyn waited patiently, and after a moment, Geon spoke cautiously.
"I don''t really intend to take revenge, sir. Rather than that..."
Lyn, anticipating that Geon would have this mindset, was not surprised and asked.
"You don''t want the two girls to be harmed, do you?"
Geon smiled awkwardly.
"Well, they were caught in a trap, but there wasn''t any article published, and they didn''t suffer much damage. I don''t want to make an issue and cause them more harm."
"But even if you prevent their expulsion, thatpany won''t leave them alone."
"Hmm... so, sir..."
Geon hesitated for a moment, then Lyn, with a gentle expression, flicked the armrest of the sofa and spoke.
"Let''s take the two girls in, shall we?"
"Ah... haha, sir, it seems like you''ve read my mind. Haha"
"Contracting them is something I can handle, but whether they seed here is up to them. Are they the type that could seed in America?"
Geon crossed his arms and
replied.
"I hadn''t thought of featuring them, but I want to use them for the song ''Song of the Wind.''"
"The Song of the Wind?"
"Yes, like I mentioned before, it''s fine whether we add a feature or not. They were expelled from theirpany trying to defend me, and I want to take care of them."
"Huhu, understood. Go ahead."
"Thank you, sir. Hehe."
"Tomorrow, I''ll ask Director Lee to rify the contract situation and then proceed with contracting the two girls."
"Yes, please."
"Do you have anything specific to tell Ms. Soojeong and Director Lee?"
"Ah... well, nothing much. Just... don''t live like that?"
"Hoho, very Geon-like. Understood."
After a day of headaches, the two finally returned to smiling.
