Episode 237
The phone call to Cheong-Ryeo was connected after several beeps.
However, common sense greetings such as ‘hello’ did not come out.
– It’s alive.
I knew it would be like this.
“Somehow it happened.”
– Oh, I didn’t mean that I wanted you to die.
“I don’t think he particularly wanted to be alive.”
Wouldn’t it be better if I thought that if I fell behind, one of the target competitors would fall behind, so it would be a dog’s gain?
But the voice over the phone didn’t laugh.
– He said he couldn’t restart.
“... ... .”
-Then you should be alive. it makes a weird sound
What is it?
It’s a strange situation to be reprimanded by this idiot for nonsense.
But I won’t deny that there were some pleasant aspects.
The madman I saw in the coma was talking about the preciousness of life. Time must be the medicine.
Of course, the reset button was taken away.
“Thank you for your concern. Anyway, I’m fine.”
-is it so. But why did you call?
“I have something to ask you.”
I said right away after finishing the calculation.
“Do you have time the day after tomorrow or the morning of the next day?”
– Why do you ask?
Simple.
“Because I can visit you in the hospital.”
I can’t go out because of the environment, so I’ll have to call this guy.
It was only then that I heard a laugh over the phone.
* * *
After some deals and coordination, Chung-Ryeo spat out the words that she would visit her on the weekend morning in three days.
It was a plan that was possible because the other guys who used to visit almost every day due to their future activities planned to return to their parents’ homes for the weekend.
Except for one guy.
“When do you eat melon?”
“If the hospital permits.”
“I want to ask!”
“Be patient.”
Even on weekends, Cha Yoo-jin takes pity on herself, who is in the dorm, and stays in the hospital room.
It is said that his parents went to Korea after hearing that he was injured, but it seems that he returned to Korea last week.
Indeed, it is difficult for an office worker to stay in a foreign country for more than two weeks. No matter how much it is in the United States, it will be more difficult to take a vacation.
Instead of melons, I threw several large, improved tangerines to him. Seon Ah-hyun bought it.
I think I bought a fruit that can be eaten right away when the permission is given because it has good storage, but... I don’t think it will stay until then.
“Eat.”
“Is the sweetness the best?”
Did you learn from Sejin?
“uh.”
“and!”
I saw Cha Yoo-jin forgetting a tangerine.
In fact, this is a kind of bribe.
“... Someone will come in about 30 minutes, so don’t bother telling the other members.”
“Are you a guest?”
“Similar.”
“who are you?”
“VTIC Chungrye.”
“Oh.”
Cha Yoo-jin gulped down the tangerine and shrugged.
“Okay~”
That’s it.
This was a neat guy, so it was comfortable. Sat and Da’s individualistic tendency shines through.
“But why are you coming?”
It’s because this is annoying
“I have something to ask about the next activity.”
“Ask me!”
“... You have to ask someone who has been active for a long time.”
“no way.”
Fortunately, the barrage of questions ended here, but it was obvious that a similar situation would repeat when Cheong-ryeo arrived.
and thirty minutes later.
“I want to listen too!”
also.
“Go and buy some snacks.”
“Boo... ... .”
But thanks to you dealing with me from the front, your firm order works.
Cha Yu-jin grumbled and left. Still, I did not forget the Korean-style Confucian greeting to Cheongryeo.
“Hello senior!”
Tattang!
The man with his back bowed vigorously shuts the door to the hospital room and exits.
Cheong-rye stared at the guy leaving and smiled.
“He’s a picky type, but the team atmosphere seems to be good. You can control it.”
“... ... .”
You know that it’s nonsense, but you have the shamelessness to ask.
A guest appearance at a VTIC concert?
Hell is coming.
As soon as I recover from my injury, if I make a guest appearance at someone else’s concert, the Testa fandom and the VTIC fandom will heat up like hellfire in the nether.
However, Chung-rye was calm.
“I think it would be better than dying. Think about it. It might be the last.”
“... ... .”
Of course, VTIC will have more excuses than Testa, so it will be worth it.
‘Still, a loss is a loss.’
This crazy proposal from a guy who is paranoidly obsessed with a flawless top tier idol?
The offer to join VTIC’s main vocalist, which he received while in a coma, comes to mind. I replied shyly.
“I don’t know why you want to lose money.”
“Um, are you sorry?”
“... ... .”
I checked his face to see if he was joking with me, but he wasn’t deceiving or insane.
Instead, it was quite calm.
“Once or twice... I’ve disturbed you badly, so I’m assuming you’re paying off the debt. how is it.”
“... hmm.”
Apparently, seeing how I almost died in this accident, this guy also looked back on his past.
‘It seems that raising a dog really helps mentally.’
However, I have no intention of investing in such a thing. Review the discussion so far.
‘The resources I can use... .’
My skills, connections, time, money... ... .
‘... money?’
“... ... !”
I almost opened my eyes.
found.
“No, I won’t use that method.”
“then?”
“... We will perform non-face-to-face.”
I ended my speech sternly.
“Totally free.”
“... ... !”
I don’t know about other limitations, but I can cover the entry barriers caused by money.
‘I’m sure I can pay for the concert.’
That’s because there’s quite a bit of money left unspent. I don’t need anyone else’s support.
“Ah, even the settlement money?”
So, this is a suggestion.
I chuckled.
“no. I want to get another one.”
The biggest stumbling block to free performances isn’t money.
This is an existing contract.
‘Testa signed an exclusive 3-year contract with W App.’
And the W app does not support free performances.
However, since Testa’s online concert had to be broadcast through the W app, I needed a detour.
“Let’s borrow your platform.”
It is an exhibition/performance platform created by LeTi in collaboration with an overseas funding company.
‘The member solo, not Testa, wasn’t specified in the contract.’
The rest of the commercial morality and public opinion issues can be solved by adjusting the performance method, and it will be much easier and faster if you do it with this guy. Because it is the company sign.
‘I think this is the most winning combination right now.’
Sure enough, Cheongryeo also smiled and nodded.
“Good idea.”
It’s better than your suggestion. I responded calmly, holding back the thought of almost clicking my tongue.
“Of course it would be better than following the VTIC tour.”
“yes? haha. Of course it is. Would you do such a nonsense?”
“... ... .”
“I meant that you could do even that, but it sounds plausible.”
You fooled the X.
I’m sure the bastard I met in the coma would have sucked in sweet water and swelled up, let alone become the main vocalist of VTIC.

Park Mun-dae was furious at the moment, but soon regained his composure and quickly concluded a detailed agreement with Cheong-ryeol.
And immediately contacted the company and talked about ‘contact with the new platform’ in depth.
‘It’s easy.’
In the calculation that it could calm the turbulent atmosphere by turning its gaze, the company sent an OK sign fairly quickly even though it was in a devastated state.
It’s because the payment fell right after the weekend on Monday morning.
“Yes, thank you.”
Of course, it was a misjudgment without a choice, but Park Mun-dae happily tolerated their misjudgment.
‘I hope it goes smoothly like this.’
Park Moon-dae said that he only needed to persuade the members, and adjusted the time of the members’ visits to overlap on Monday afternoon.
‘It would be better to discuss it at once.’
so after a few days.
Park Moon-dae is forced to take time for self-reflection and self-reflection by the members while sweating in cold sweat.
“Sit down and listen.”
Somehow, all the members had already heard the news about it.
Because Cha Yu-jin could not stand it.
“I asked the company!”
‘This guy.’
Of course, it was my karma.
