Childhood Friend Who Sees the Future Utters Nonsense

164 – Side Story – Our Treasure

【’Armo’ becomes the first Korean girl group to reach No. 1 on the Billboard chart】

A queen was born.

On the 11th, girl group Armo from Jane Entertainment shocked the world by reaching number one on the Billboard charts, which is every singer’s dream, with their new album’s title song, “Magnificent.”

This is monumental news, the second for a domestic artist and the first for a girl group.

This feat, which is being achieved by a mid-level idol group in their 5th year since debut and about to renew their contract, is expected to have a positive effect on the future success of their contract renewal. There are both evaluations that this is a turning point and an announcement of a new revival.

As for the future direction, Armo has not yet made an official statement… .

…

…

…

A smile naturally appeared on my face as I looked at the hot article that had just come up this morning.

That’s right. Armo finally took first place on the music charts that were updated last night, and my girlfriend truly became the world’s best artist.

And the person who should be holding a press conference with flashes of fame going off everywhere is currently,

“Eww! This is delicious. As expected, cheese goes well with dakgalbi.”

“You’ve managed to get in so much so early in the morning.”

He dragged me to a chicken galbi restaurant early in the morning and started filming a mukbang.

Wow, I barely touched it and I ate it all. I wasn’t hungry anyway so I didn’t really plan on eating.

“What have you been looking at so intently since earlier?”

“You guys were number one on the Billboard charts. I was reading that article.”

When I showed her the phone screen, Yuna said, “Huh.” and started eating the chicken ribs again with a somewhat indifferent expression. Somehow, I felt more excited than Yuna, who was the person involved.

“You can look at that later, so just focus on the girlfriend in front of you.”

As I was happily smiling while looking at another article with the same content, Yuna reached out and snatched my phone away from me, glaring at me with her cold eyes.

“Hey, you’re saying that because you saw the article about the number one spot on the Millboard charts…?”

“I don’t know, I don’t really care. I received a lot of congratulations yesterday.”

Yuna puts down her chopsticks, leaving behind a small amount of chicken galbi leftovers, perhaps because she plans to eat fried rice later.

Even though we have reached the top of the world, the response is quite dry.

“You’re not that happy, are you?”

“Yeah? Of course I’m happy. But isn’t it more important to me that my boyfriend looks after me than that little chart number one?”

“Oh my, I lost.”

I shook my head and laughed at the consistent affection. Every time this happens, I’m glad to see that my affection hasn’t faded, but on the other hand, I worry that he might say the same thing to other people.

Well, even if it’s Yuna, she’ll say something like that after seeing the situation.

“Boss, can I have some fried rice please?”

“Okay, I’ll get it ready right away.”

After Yuna finished ordering the fried rice, she took a sip of her cider and smiled brightly at me. Her two hands on her chin, like flower petals, made her look even cuter.

When I see things like this, I feel like I’m not in a position to say anything.

“Honey, after you finish eating, let’s go somewhere together. There’s something I want to show you.”

“What do you want to show me?”

I was already full, so I was eating the salad on the side, tilting my head at Yuna’s subtle remark.

What do you want to show me? I was wondering if there was something because the smile on your face didn’t seem to leave… Is there a surprise? But today isn’t any particular day.

“Yeah, I have some time left.”

Maybe this is why Yuna took me out of the house early in the morning under the pretext of eating dakgalbi. I nodded my head as I cautiously guessed.

I guess it’s probably a newly discovered dessert shop or something like that. It’s perfect for a post-meal refreshment stop.

***

Even with a little help from me, Yuna finished off two servings of fried rice and climbed into the passenger seat with a satisfied expression as she patted her stomach.

It’s really amazing. How does such a thin body fit all that amount of food? Do the nutrients go somewhere else?

“Huh, where are you staring so intently?”

“Where did I see you?”

I absentmindedly looked up out of curiosity, but then stopped and my gaze fell right on Yuna.

Somehow, I think I understand it… . Ahem.

“So where should I go?”

“I’ll write down the address, just a moment… .”

Fortunately, I was able to change the subject naturally, so I wasn’t questioned any further.

Yuna leaned forward from the passenger seat, tapped the navigation panel, and typed in the address of a place she had never seen before. Cheon-o-dong? This must have been a high-end residential area. It didn’t seem like a place where a dessert shop would be.

Well, there’s nothing particularly strange about where the restaurant is, so I decided to head to the place Yuna told me about. I’ll know what to expect once I get there.

“babe.”

“huh?”

“Our contract ends soon.”

“…yes.”

While driving, Yuna suddenly brought up a sensitive topic.

That’s right. The official time left for Armo is at most 4 months. Of course, if the contract is renewed, the time they can spend together will increase, but that’s not a certainty.

And Yuna, whose opinion I asked her before, said that she would rather not renew her contract and that after we get married, she will find a new agency that will guarantee her a more flexible schedule.

If my current agency supported my solo activities and drastically revised the terms of my contract, I would definitely stay, but I’m skeptical about that.

“Actually, I thought about it a bit. But when I thought back on what we talked about, I realized I still wanted to stay a little longer.”

“As an armourer?”

“huh.”

However, the words that immediately came out of Yuna’s mouth were quite different from what she had said back then. To be honest, it was a bit surprising news to me, who had half expected the contract to be cancelled.

As for remaining Armour, it’s not bad.

“So, if possible, I’m thinking of talking to the company. Could they wait until we get married, go on a honeymoon, and have the baby?”

“That’s a pretty ambitious request. It’ll take at least a year.”

“Yeah, so I’ll do my best. Besides, I thought that if the company wanted to keep the Armo name, they might be able to accommodate this request.”

Are you saying that you will only assert your own values ​​and ask for what you want at times like this? That’s a professional attitude.

My thoughts are not much different. No matter how many outstanding talents there are at Jane Entertainment, it would not be a pleasant thing for the company to give up Armo, which has just reached the top of the world and is on a solid path.

They probably have a strong desire to somehow maintain the name and continue the name value, even if the members’ demands are somewhat unreasonable.

“Do whatever you want. I will always respect your choice. However, I hope you make a choice that you will not regret.”

“Thank you. I feel a little better after confiding in you. Heh… .”

“It’s cute.”

As the car stopped for a moment at the intersection, I took my hands off the steering wheel and stroked Yuna’s head.

Now, if you just turn left here, you’ll reach the place Yuna told you about.

“By the way, why did you ask me to come here? There are only houses around here….”

As I turned left and entered the alley, I began to question the luxurious houses that appeared in a row along the gentle hill.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like a place where you’d find a dessert shop or cafe that Yuna would like. Did she come to meet an acquaintance? It’s a very upscale residential area, but if it’s someone Yuna knows, she might be able to afford to live in a place like this.

I carefully gripped the steering wheel as I continued to make various guesses. I felt nervous because I thought that any car I would bump into in a place like this would be a foreign car whose name I had heard of at least once.

Oh, it’s scary to say that a foreign car is coming. Is this the basic quality of people living in places like this?

“Oh, just stop there.”

“That’s it?”

Soon, a familiar sight appeared. Yuna said, pointing to a large, splendid house covered with iron bars. It looked more like a mansion than a house.

From noble mtl dot com

It’s a new experience to think that even in Seoul, you can find a house with such a large yard. I wonder what kind of great people live in places like this.

Rattling.

As we parked the car and got out, we realized that we were both empty-handed and exclaimed, “Oh no.”

Yuna, didn’t you come here to meet someone you know? It seems like we came empty-handed for that to be the case.

“Should I go and buy you a suitable gift right now?”

“Huh? What kind of gift?”

When I asked her while placing my hand on the driver’s seat handle, Yuna tilted her head and showed her bewilderment. I ended up being dumbfounded by her appearance.

“Didn’t you come to meet someone you know?”

“Yeah, no?”

“then…?”

Then, just as I was about to ask why I was visiting such a fancy residential area, Yuna circled the car and came towards me, grabbing both my hands and pulling me towards her. As if telling me to come here quickly.

In the meantime, as I arrived in front of the iron bars of the mansion with Yuna, I could see the wide yard beyond it. It was a pretty, well-kept landscape.

Soon after, Yuna stood in front of the iron bars and spread out both her arms. Like a child bragging about her accomplishments to an adult, she had an innocent yet confident expression.

“We just came to take a look at the house we’ll be living in.”

“…yes?”

At those words, I felt like I lost consciousness for a moment.

What does that mean, the house we will live in? So you already found out where we will live after we get married? No, that’s good. What’s more important is what Yuna said, that this huge mansion will be our home.

As I gaped with my mouth open, looking as if I had been hit in the head with a blunt object, Yuna came up to me and continued her explanation while lightly poking the bridge of my nose.

“Actually, it’s been a while since I bought it. I wanted to show it to you as soon as possible because I was worried that you might run away, but I wanted to show it off on some kind of special day.”

“A monumental day… Really?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Yuna, who had spun around in place, smiled brightly as she showed me the article she had seen earlier on her phone.

“I wanted to show you proudly that I became the best woman in the world. I was finally able to face you, and I told you not to think about escaping.”

“This is a bribe,” said Yuna with a cute smile. She grabbed my hand and lifted it up to eye level, tilting her head slightly.

“How is it? Are you a good fit for me now?”

“… He was a great person from the beginning.”

I clapped my hands together, feeling a gentle touch at Yuna’s words that seemed to praise me, a man with no particular talent, as the best in the world.

She really is a girlfriend who always surprises people. Even without these surprises, I’ve long since given up on the thought of running away.

You said you wanted to have two children in a house with a yard, raise Cheese and a dog, and watch them all run around the yard together. It wasn’t just a casual remark.

No, maybe Yuna has never said anything to me so far with a light heart.

The moment I realized that, I had a strong feeling that she was the only one for me.

This may not be a new story, but
