Childhood Friend Who Sees the Future Utters Nonsense

73 – Between reality and dream

The weekend date with Park Si-yoon was so fun that I regretted not being able to spend more time with it. She doesn’t always want Monday to come, but she doesn’t think she’s ever hated it more than this time.

After spending Monday and Tuesday in moderation, the long-awaited Wednesday finally arrived.

On my way home from school, I stopped by a cafe with my friends who I hung out with every day and took a sip of a chocolate latte to calm my trembling heart. This is because today is the day when the long-awaited debut date is announced.

“That’s right, congratulations, Yuna. “Today is the day to announce the debut date, right?”

“Wow, has it already happened like that? Well, Hanyu, I also spent quite a long time as her trainee.”

Subin, who remembered that the school probably didn’t want to make a fuss because they were worried about me, belatedly congratulated me. Choi Min-seong also made a fuss, shaking his head as if the time had come.

“I searched yesterday and found that girl group debut dates are usually in winter? If we do well, won’t Yuna debut then?”

“Write, it’s too long. “Can’t we just debut in the summer with a cool summer song?”

“Oh, there were cases like that sometimes. “It wouldn’t be impossible, right?”

“Oh.”

Choi Min-seong went one step further and tried to bring forward my debut date, which has not yet been decided, and Soobin went two more steps and agreed, saying that it was realistically possible. Anyway, everyone is excited.

“Anyway, don’t be nervous and have a nice trip. “But today, the lady asked us all to have a meal together to commemorate the date of your debut.”

“Yes, I heard. “I’ll be back early today, so don’t worry.”

Meanwhile, Park Si-yoon, who was watching the two people lost in their own world, put his fist towards me and smiled softly. Not to be outdone, I bumped his fists together and smiled as brightly as I could.

“Anyway, wouldn’t it be a good idea to go on a date before we both get busy? “It’s been a long time since we started dating.”

At that time, Soobin brought up the topic as if he had tried his best to keep his voice quiet so that those around her could not hear him as much as possible. The moment I heard those words, Park Si-yoon and I made eye contact and opened our eyes as if we had made a promise.

Oh, come to think of it, didn’t we tell Subin that the two of you were on a date?

“Hey, Subin. We already went on a date this weekend….”

“… What do you mean, date? “You two went on a date without me?”

“Huh?”

Wait, that’s the part where you get angry?

In the first place, it wouldn’t be a date if Soobin was involved. It’s just the three of us playing together like we always do. What is he talking about now?

“You crazy b*tch, why are you wearing that?”

It was so absurd that Choi Min-seong even cursed at it.

Maybe Subin was so surprised that he said her words wrong. Those doubts are starting to arise,

“Of course you should call me! “Hmph, I wanted to watch you two go on a date from the first row!”

“If the three of you go out to have fun, is that a date?”

“It’s okay! “You can treat me like I don’t exist!”

As she looked at Subin, who confidently said, ‘Use it as a leftover disposal facility!’, She wondered if this was the Subin I knew.

Of course, I often showed myself being overly preoccupied with my romantic situation, but I never thought it would be to this extent. How sincere are you when it comes to other people’s relationships?

“Jeong, then how about you and Choi Min-seong come together next time? “You can just hang out like a double date.”

“Ugh, with Minseong?”

“Hey, is that the right reaction?”

I don’t know when the next one will be, but I came up with a compromise and suggested it, and Subin refused. It was only Choi Min-seong who stayed quiet, and she ended up being beaten.

Sorry, Minseong Choi. I also didn’t know that Soobin would hate me this much.

“In the first place, I don’t want to go on a date, I just want to happily watch you two fool around.”

“Then what should I do, at least film a vlog?”

“Oh, that’s good! Yuna, how are you?”

“Yes, no.”

At my firm refusal, Subin quickly became sullen and pursed her lips, and she naturally said something that could not easily be overlooked.

“At best, I helped him practice rega and gave him advice, but I can do this much. Too bad….”

“Rega?”

“Ah, okay! “You can take pictures next time!”

She jumped up from her seat to disturb Park Si-yoon, who was trying to question those words, and confirmed that she would film a v-log someday.

Only then did Subin look at me with a wide smile. Her expression seems to say, ‘That’s how it should look.’

That thing is dark on the inside, b*tch.

“Anyway, is your company a bit lenient when it comes to dating?”

“I’m not sure. There was no prohibition on dating in the contract clause….”

In response to Choi Min-seong’s question, I searched through her memories for a moment.

First of all, the company’s regulations state ‘prohibition of dating between trainees’, but it does not clearly state ‘prohibition of dating between trainees’. Moreover, in the case of other companies, they often include a clause prohibiting dating for several years after the contract, but in my case, there was no such clause in the contract.

She secretly asked the other members just in case, but she also said that there was no clause related to dating. Just looking at that alone, I think they are a little more generous than other companies.

Now that I think about it, I remember that the boss had a very good opinion of Park Si-yoon before, so I wonder if there is a possibility that she will give permission if she reveals it in advance?

I inhale the remaining chocolate latte and think deeply. There’s no such thing as absolute certainty in this world, so maybe you don’t know?

***

When we parted ways with the three and arrived at the company, we saw the members gathered together in the practice room.

Today was the day the debut date was announced, so I came in feeling nervous, thinking that the CEO would also be there, but surprisingly, there were only three of us. Do you want to come later?

“Hi everyone.”

“Ah, welcome, Yuna.”

“Yes, sister. More than that, why is the atmosphere like this? “What happened?”

As she walked in, waving her hand at Seungyeon, who was the first to welcome her on her day, she frowned at the somewhat cold air in her.

Then the three people, who were looking at each other, put their index fingers to their lips as if to silence their voices, and simultaneously gestured to me as if to come closer. It looks like something happened.

“Did you not see the article today?”

“Knight? Yeah, I came back from playing with my friends….”

Suddenly, wondering if this was some kind of article, I nodded towards Yerin, and the three exchanged looks as if they were trying to decide who would speak first.

It’s frustrating, so I wish someone would just tell me.

“Ha, actually, you have senior Jia, right?”

“Senior Jia? Yes.”

Senior Jia is one of the senior girl group members of our company, and she is currently active as a solo artist. She is also someone who has established a fairly strong position within the company.

But what happened to him?

“The dating rumor about that person broke out today. But I think the boss was really angry. “The person who came earlier said that the screaming could be heard all the way outside.”

“Yes? “Sound?”

My eyes widened at the quite surprising news. That’s because I’ve been here for about 5 years and I’ve never seen the boss yell.

While watching the quarterly performances among the trainees, when making evaluations, his voice became colder, but he never scolded him.

Senior Jia is a person with whom the boss at work is so close that she calls him daughter, but she even yelled at that person?

“Wasn’t it like this when dating rumors broke out about other seniors in the past?”

I asked, recalling what I once experienced when I had a precognitive dream.

It is true that the company atmosphere was turbulent back then, but I have never heard of the boss scolding me. Seungyeon probably knows that well too.

“That’s right. “That’s why the trainers seemed a little confused.”

“I’m worried. After all, on a day like today….”

Understand!

As her face darkened and she pressed her lips together, her sister So-eun stood next to her and patted my back vigorously. Her hands were so spicy that at one point, tears came out of her eyes.

“It has nothing to do with us. “If you keep whispering, it will only give you a headache.”

“As expected, Sawun, you spoke well. “We just have to do what we do well, that’s right!”

When Yerin asked me for my consent and asked, ‘Isn’t that right?’ I felt like a needle was pricking her heart.

Because the part about it being an irrelevant story seemed to show the belief that there is no way for any of us to hide things like dating from others.

Her lips twitched as if to tell the truth right now due to the surging guilt. At that time,

Rattling.

“Everyone was gathered together. “I’m sorry I’m late for your day of celebration.”

The door to the practice room opened and the president appeared with several company employees. Most of the people next to me looked quite familiar.

“No, you’re not particularly late.”

“That’s right. Rather, the people next to me… ?”

“Oh, shall we start by saying hello? “These are the employees who will explain your future showcase stage and schedule.”

Upon the boss’s introduction, the employees also awkwardly greeted us. Although we’ve met each other quite a few times, this was the first time we’ve exchanged greetings in earnest.

“I will explain the details in the conference room, but first, let’s start by congratulating what needs to be celebrated, right?”

Clap clap clap.

The boss was the first to applaud and at the same time, the employees next to him also smiled and clapped. We knew what that meant, so we looked at each other and clapped the same way.

“Your debut has been decided around August 10th. The stage is a music station. “Everyone worked really hard to get here.”

“Yah!”

“Debut!”

“It’s August 10th! Wow, it’s actually faster than I thought!”

No sooner had the applause ended than the long-awaited debut date that came out of the CEO’s mouth, and the three people began to cheer and embrace each other at the same time.

Among them, I was the only one who could not truly enjoy this joy, and I could only smile at the boss’s congratulatory comment with a heart that felt like it was made of lead.

When I realized that the thoughts I had suddenly had while talking with my friends were nothing more than a vain delusion, I felt like my whole body was collapsing like a sand castle hit by a wave.

Suddenly, I wanted to see my boyfriend right away.
