Childhood Friend Who Sees the Future Utters Nonsense

118 – No deposit required

After hearing the story of the love affair between Kim Soo-bin and Choi Min-seong, Yuna said she was going to wash up and went to her house. It was probably noisy at her house because the adults were drinking, so she seemed to be planning to sleep at our house.

In this respect, Han Yu-jin is the complete opposite. She likes that kind of noisy atmosphere and enjoys chatting with adults while drinking juice.

I decided to wait for Yuna to come back and then call the boss. It was quite late, but I thought it would be okay since the boss had asked me to contact him via text message first.

Druk.

I opened the veranda door and went outside, enjoying the cool night air as I picked up my phone. I didn’t even need to look it up in my contacts, because I was in contact with my boss so often for work, so I memorized his number and was able to press it.

– hello?

The default, plain coloring continued for a while, and then the boss’s voice was heard from the other end. Judging from the fact that he quickly answered the phone, he must have been waiting for my call, or he must have been busy looking at his phone.

“Sorry, boss. I’m late… .”

– No, I asked you to contact me. Are you home now?

“Yes, I stopped by the agency with Yuna, who just finished the press conference, and came back around 5 o’clock.”

As I gave a brief overview of the day’s schedule, the president’s voice returned, somewhat excited.

– I also enjoyed the press conference. The response was more friendly than I expected.

“Yes, fortunately.”

Of course, there are some who will look at us negatively, but judging from what CEO Yuna said and the community response, most people seem to support us.

I was so grateful for that fact that I bowed my head involuntarily. Then, I heard the CEO’s voice, which sounded somewhat worn out.

– Honestly, when the dating rumors first came out, I was so sorry. I felt like it was all my fault.

“Hey, why is that the boss’s fault? It was Yuna who insisted on going to the wedding.”

– But it’s true that I pushed her away. At least as an adult, I should have drawn the line with Yuna in advance… .

The CEO’s voice is filled with regret.

It seems like he blamed himself for not being able to stop Yuna when she was stubborn about going to the wedding like me. No, it makes more sense since the boss even said he would be happy if Yuna came.

“Don’t worry. Everything is resolved now, and I’ve already spoken to the CEO of my agency.”

– That’s fortunate. If something worse had happened to Yuna, I probably wouldn’t have been able to sleep.

“Ahaha… .”

I wonder how much he really cared about me. Even if he indirectly contributed to the cause, it wouldn’t be easy to feel this guilty for that much.

As expected, our boss is a really good person. He has a personality that is no less than Yuna’s boss.

– By the way, why did you go to Yuna’s agency with her? Did you just go there to hear the aftermath report?

While I was praising the boss in my heart, I heard something quite poignant and I flinched without realizing it. It couldn’t just be because the night wind was particularly cold.

“No, that too… I’ve heard a lot of different things.”

– Various? For example?”

“Actually, that’s….”

In fact, even if it wasn’t the CEO’s message, I was planning on contacting him to tell him this, but when I actually tried to speak, my mouth wouldn’t open. This is a moment when I truly respect my girlfriend for saying such things at a press conference.

I feel so anxious and trembling just telling someone important information, so how did he find the courage to do so?

But on the other hand, I feel ashamed and angry that I can’t even say these words and am hesitating when I have a girlfriend who has done more difficult things than me right next to me.

Yes, I have to say it. This might be the moment that will bring about a new turning point in my life.

“Excuse me, sir. Can I ask you something serious?”

– Okay, tell me. It’s the first time I’ve seen Siyoon act this way, so are you a little excited?

The boss’s voice sounded bright, but it didn’t sound frivolous. I could tell that he was willing to listen to whatever I had to say, but he certainly wouldn’t take it lightly.

I carefully took out the words I had prepared for the boss.

“Actually, today I received an offer from the CEO of Yuna’s agency to take charge of Armo’s YouTube channel.”

– Armorani… Are you talking about the group Yuna is in?

Even from the CEO’s perspective, this was something he had not expected, and a voice came through the phone that seemed quite puzzled. I nodded.

“Yes, I think there’s a PD who belongs to the Armo team. I showed him the video I made, and he suggested that I ask him to produce the YouTube video… .”

– PD. Well, if it’s an idol that was debuted with a lot of effort from a big agency like that, there would be a separate content team PD. Like our PD.

The CEO seemed to understand, saying, “These days, idols also put a lot of effort into their YouTube activities.” His tone was very calm.

– So, are you thinking about that offer?

“I don’t know if I should call it worrying… Actually, I’ve already made a decision.”

– … I see. Well, Shiyoon, you’re not the type of person to contact me because of these worries. I guess you’ve made up your mind to some extent and are trying to tell me about it, right?

That’s right. In the first place, there’s no way I could tell my current direct supervisor about the new job I was offered and the one I’m currently working at. I think that’s a bit unfair.

– You haven’t negotiated wages or conditions yet?

“Yes, but if possible, I’d like to go even if the conditions are a bit poor. I guess…”

– Because you want to be with Yuna. Right?

“… That’s right.”

I couldn’t help but smile in vain at the playful voice. The boss really sees right through me.

Of course, that’s not the only reason. It’s true that the main reason is that I want to be with Yuna, but I also have the ambition to learn from there and apply to a broadcasting station or something in the future.

To do that, I thought it was necessary to join a proper company’s content team rather than working in the editing department, and learn the detailed process from content production to video editing.

It’s not that I’m looking down on what you’re doing, I just think it’s a more classic way to climb the ladder.

– So work starts right away?

“No, according to what CEO Yuna said, it started after she entered college.”

– There’s still some time left. Well, the college entrance exam is in a month, so if I tell her to start working right away, it’s like ruining her life.

The president speaks in a rather aggressive tone, as if he is muttering to himself. It’s as if, if Yuna’s president had suggested that I come straight to him, he would have tried to argue with me right away.

You are truly worried about me. I felt your sincere concern and felt grateful, but also sorry. I am leaving this boss behind and moving to another place.

“So, I plan to take charge of Retube videos until I finish the college entrance exam and enter college, and then join Jane Entertainment after I enter college.”

– Good idea. Well, I think that’s better too.

When I briefly explained the plan I had made, the president responded in a rather satisfied tone.

Somehow, the atmosphere was different from what I had expected, so I was taken aback and ended up asking a stupid question without realizing it.

“Hey, aren’t you angry?”

– You’re angry… at me? Why?

“That’s… I feel like I’m betraying the boss who has treated me so well.”

– Betrayal? Ah! Puhut… .

As I was awkwardly scratching my cheek, I heard a clear laughter in my ear.

That laughter, like a deflated balloon, was closer to the laughter that the boss or Yuna’s wife often let out at me rather than a mocking laugh. It was like a laugh that was so cute that it was hard to help but laugh at a child who was acting cute.

Just when I was wondering why he was smiling like that, the president opened his mouth a beat faster. In a voice that was even brighter than before.

– Shiyoon, I understand what you’re trying to say. But Shiyoon, before you were a student, you were a professional who got paid to work. It’s natural for a professional to change jobs to find better conditions.

“… … .”

– Of course, it’s a shame. I’ve heard a lot about it, and I wish you’d work here more. But apart from that, you don’t have to think that you did something wrong.

The manager said this in a gentle tone, as if he was teaching social conventions and small truths to a child who was just beginning to understand the ways of the world.

My actions were the right thing to do, and it was amazing that I was able to make that choice on my own.

The only thing I regret is that the result of that choice was a breakup.

– In the first place, an adult is someone who can determine their own happiness. In that sense, Si-yoon, you may already be an adult.

Somehow, the face of the CEO smiling warmly at me stood out in my mind. The emotions conveyed through his voice were so clear.

– Anyway, I’ll keep that in mind. If you change your mind, let me know, and we can talk more about it when we meet again later.

“… Yes, sir.”

– Yeah, have a good night and from now on, you and Yuna will have fun together. That’s the right thing to do at that age.

As if he had seen through my mind, which was constantly worrying about what to do next, the CEO ended the call with these words of wisdom.

Could it be my imagination that the wind that felt cold just a moment ago has become a little warmer?

Druk.

As I took a deep breath and counted the hundreds and thousands of lights carved into the horizon, I felt the veranda door open and someone approaching from behind me.

Kuk.

And then he buried his head on my back, wrapped his arms around my waist, and hugged me from behind. I could guess who he was just from that action.

“When did you come?”

From noble mtl dot com

“It was there a while ago. I didn’t want to disturb you since you were on a call….”

I could tell right away from the hesitation in Yuna’s words that she had been listening to the entire conversation.

“Did you hear that?”

“…huh.”

Yuna’s voice sounded like it was dying, but on the other hand, I could feel a strange trembling. Maybe that was the joy that came from my choice to work with Yuna, I suddenly had a guess.

No matter what, he is very honest.

I smiled faintly and turned around, hugging Yuna from behind, but this time I hugged her from the front.

It was very warm. Maybe because I just got out of the shower, I could smell something strangely good. I took a deep breath, as if I was enjoying the scent a little like a pervert, and Yuna laughed out loud, saying it tickled her.

But he didn’t push me away. Instead, he hugged my back with his arms and held me tighter. He buried his face in my chest and took a deep breath. It felt strange.

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Okay, then.”

While we were embracing each other for a long time, enjoying each other’s warmth and scent, Yuna casually asked a question that had neither a subject nor an object. Despite that, I was able to answer easily.

It’s not that I broke up with you because I didn’t particularly value my current job or the people there. It’s just that I valued the future I would walk with Yuna more.

Perhaps it has something in common with Yuna’s choice.

“Yuna.”

“huh?”

“Let’s stay together from now on.”

“… Is this a proposal?”

“We’ll do that properly later. Instead, how about a deposit so that the contract doesn’t get canceled in the middle?”

I don’t know, but it’s still too early for Yuna to get married and start a family. So I don’t plan on putting her in an awkward position by proposing right now.

However, rather than a proposal that may or may not happen, I wanted to look forward to the future through this small promise.

I wanted to say that we should stay together even after ten, twenty, or thirty years, when we both become wrinkled grandfathers and grandmothers.

side.

At those words, Yuna stood up as if she had been waiting and pressed her lips against mine. It was a kiss that was more shy than passionate, unlike my girlfriend who is known for being secretive, but I actually liked that.

Her cheeks were bright red, as if she had just finished showering, and her eyes, slightly raised in a shy manner, were very cute.

“It’s okay. Even without that, I’ll give you a lifetime contract.”

As if responding to that smile, I bent down slightly to get to her eye level and kissed Yuna again.

This time, the sight of my girlfriend clinging to me as if telling me not to make it short was incredibly adorable.
