Chapter 60 I Knew This Would Happen

Wow, look at the grass!

It had rained heavily for a week. Fortunately, there was no typhoon or anything, so the house was not in big trouble.

But the field where we had to harvest crops to eat, except for the small one right in front of the house, had turned into a weed field.

This it looks edible. But does it taste good?

The fruits that remained among the weeds that grew lushly by drinking rainwater all soaked up the rainwater very well.

Ah it would have been better if I had harvested them in advance. But I didnt have time to do that because I was fixing the house.

In the end, I changed the route to help the village head or the nearby villagers harvest and get some crops.

I was clearing the weeds in the field for a while, when suddenly I couldnt see Seong-won who was next to me.

Where did Son Seong-won go?

I asked Kyunghwa who went inside to clean up the messy house because of the sudden wind.

Isnt he over there?

Wow, dad is going to catch his son who ran away without working.

Yejoon joked and laughed.

I looked around and saw that the youngest PD was also gone. I asked the main PD.

Did you see where Seong-won went?

Shall we go look for him together?

He seemed to think that the video of the members cleaning the house was enough for self-cam shooting. I nodded without thinking deeply.

Ill put a caption like a father looking for a runaway worker.

I thought the same stupid thing.

As Yejoon teased, my image was completely fixed as father and old man because of the few appearances on the show.

[- Summary of Seberjis father moments in the first episode of Boys in Crisis]

[- Seberjis expected 18th more]

[- The more I see Seberji, the more I like him. I think hell scold me if I sneak into the kitchen at dawn and eat kimchi stew with pork.]

I felt like the target of Seberji was me. I had a reasonable doubt and looked it up carefully. It was a compound word of (Lee)Se+(A)berji.

Cheonise would faint if he knew. Although I had never communicated directly with him, I was sure he would.

Anyway, if it wasnt in a negative direction, it meant a positive meaning to have a nickname.

But I didnt expect that father would be a nickname.

Among the current male idols, Kang Yugeon, who was running the most popular, had Yureogi (Kang Yugeon + troublemaker), Geonjangkku (Kang Yugeon + prankster), Manipulation Captain (Kang Yugeon + first love manipulation) and so on.

Of course, the last one was not used in a purely positive sense.

It was a nickname that Yugeon, who started with a lower grade, flew to A grade in a single shot as he secured more volume.

And hes also in charge of a lot of aggro elements, so it seems like hes got a lot of anti-fans.

It was amazing how he could stick to his insincere attitude even though he was cursed.

We because the fandom was so small, we didnt have a nickname until the salad became a hot topic.

After that, it was a nickname given by the fandom in a relatively friendly atmosphere, so I didnt see anything I didnt like.

Oh Yejoon had a lot of animal-related nicknames, such as Oramjwi, Jjungmungi. By the way, Ramjwi in Oramjwi was not the cute squirrel we thought.

It was the red-brown fur hat that ran around as an American squirrel. It was a nickname that became a hot topic because of its sturdy physique and eating a huge amount of food in an instant.

Seon-woo had a lot of nicknames related to his appearance as expected. Sunjunim, Sungingi, Aeggyowatdyanim were often seen. Princess, baby, prince, very colorful modifiers. He was so embarrassed that he didnt know what to do.

Thats how the three of them had a definite image.

Seong-won was known for his squeaky and prickly image, so I was worried that he would get a bad nickname.

But it was better than I thought. Sonjjolbo, Sondeli. What is Sondeli? I looked it up and it was an Adelie penguin. It was a nickname that was attached because it was always cute to be angry.

Its not much yet, but all of Seong-wons fans who came up in the search cheered every time Seong-won screamed or got annoyed.

[- 7:56 Seong-won, I set this as a notification sound. Ive passed by countless male idols, but Ive never felt such a strong thrill. Thank you, Im sorry, I love you]

I couldnt understand what kind of psychology it was, but anyway, they looked happy, so I was glad.

The problem was Kyunghwa.

How long has it been since Climax started to make a name for itself?

Do you really have to film this?

I felt sorry for the kitten, but I kept my reason and asked the youngest PD. He answered as if it was obvious.

Ah Im sorry, it must bother you. The main PD told me to film everything until we go back

It was a roundabout way of saying that we had to film. Did we really have to film this kid who had lost his mind and couldnt think of anything?

I clenched my teeth and covered the camera lens with my hand.

Im sorry too. But Id appreciate it if you didnt film from here. Im turning off the mic.

I realized that it wasnt something to discuss and turned off the mic. Then I tapped Seong-wons shoulder.

Lets go.

Seong-won nodded slowly, out of his mind. I quickly turned off the mic that Seong-won had on his waist.

Lee Se! You cant do this.

Were in trouble too. Ill talk to the main PD, so just get in the back.

The car was filled with sighs and awkwardness.

Was it because I turned off the mic? Seong-won didnt say a word on the way to the animal hospital. He opened his mouth with a trembling voice.

I should have taken him last week

His voice sounded like he was about to cry. I had to comfort him. How? My mouth was bitter.

Dont blame yourself. You didnt know his condition would get so bad in a week.

I should have called last week and left him there He might have lived Its my fault I hesitated

So thats why he hesitated to get in the car last week.

Before I knew it, the kitten had stopped twitching and died in Seong-wons arms.

Its my fault

I broke the silence and answered.

Why is it your fault?

I didnt take him

You cant say that. Its my fault for not letting you go. Dont blame yourself unnecessarily.

Seong-won didnt answer. The rain poured down and the cars appeared out of nowhere. The country road that had been quiet was crowded.

I gripped the steering wheel with one hand and brushed my hair back with the other. Then I opened my mouth.

How many things do you think go your way in life? How many things go as you expected? How many things dont leave any regrets?

What if you regret something later when you didnt have the ability or the situation to change it?

Youre not a god. Youre just a normal twenty-two-year-old kid. Its natural that you dont know what will happen later. You make decisions without knowing how they will come back to you. Its natural that you face negative outcomes that you didnt intend.

Thats how life is. Its all shitty, hard, and not what I wanted. I didnt know it would turn out like this. Even adults in their fifties are the same. They make decisions without knowing the results and regret them based on the assumption that they might have had a choice.

Thats too obvious. But I wish you wouldnt be too heartbroken. You can think of it as a selfish request. Dont hurt yourself.

You didnt do anything wrong.

Seong-won couldnt answer and covered his mouth with the back of his hand. His shoulders, which always looked wide, were too thin for a twenty-two-year-old.

I didnt bother to say anything more and quietly opened the glove box. There was a tissue that someone had put in there beforehand.

How many things do you think go your way in life?

Maybe it was something I wanted to say to myself. That it wasnt something I could change.

I clenched the handle, remembering the sensation of sinking into the waves. There were times when I needed an excuse that sounded powerless. If I didnt think that way, I couldnt endure and overcome the present. When Seong-wons trembling subsided a bit.

Woohoo-

A sound of equipment turning on came from the back seat.
