Childhood Friend Who Sees the Future Utters Nonsense

80 – Wedding Invitation

The next day, we headed to the meeting place that the boss sent us via message. Since it was my first time hearing about this restaurant, I did a quick search on the Internet and found out that it was a fairly famous Japanese restaurant.

However, it was not like the omakase shops that are often posted on social media these days, and it seemed like a place where you could taste a neat Japanese multi-course meal.

Thanks to this, Yuna’s expectations showed no signs of decreasing while taking the taxi. Because she really likes things like sushi.

“Are you that excited?”

“That’s what I’m looking forward to. “For the past month, she has only eaten grass-fed vegetables.”

When I asked Yuna, who couldn’t keep her feet still the whole time in her taxi like a child going to an amusement park, she responded as if I was asking something obvious.

I never thought there would be such a sad behind-the-scenes story. Well, when I was a trainee, management was so strict, but now that I’m a real active idol, I can’t imagine how much more thorough management will be.

By the way, is it true that they only feed grass even when they are actively active? That way you won’t have the energy to dance and sing.

“Are you only eating grass during your activity period?”

“Ah, no matter how strict the company is, they will be fed properly during the activity period. If you look at the seniors, almost all of them are like that?”

“Really? “It looks like you’re taking care of those things properly.”

Even excluding the proverb that Koreans are hungry for food, it is true that they need to eat well when their bodies are active. I wondered if they were just feeding the grass without even taking that into consideration, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

“According to what the seniors say, during activity periods, they feed them even if they don’t want to eat. Instead, during the album preparation period, there are things like jacket shooting and music video shooting, so I guess they are making it manageable.”

“I understand.”

Can you think of it as a kind of cramming? It’s a bit strange to express it, but it seems that the time to enhance her beauty is the album preparation period.

Instead, when album preparations are finished and activities begin, a lot of energy is consumed due to traveling here and there and even standing on stage, so for the sake of one’s health, one should eat properly. If it’s reasonable, it’s reasonable.

“Guests, we have arrived.”

“Thank you.”

While listening to Yuna briefly tell the story behind her entertainment industry, the driver informed her that her taxi had already arrived in front of the Japanese restaurant where she had met.

I handed her card and had Yuna get out of the car first, and when she finished paying, I took her card back and followed her to get out.

Fortunately, the road wasn’t too congested, so I was able to arrive on time. Of course, the leisurely start may have played a role.

Grumble.

“Welcome. “Have you made a reservation?”

As expected from a fairly luxurious Japanese restaurant, when we opened the wooden sliding door and entered, a neatly dressed female employee appeared and welcomed us.

Wow, just looking at the interior of the store makes me bend over. It seems like it would be difficult to even get a meal for just one or two pennies. The boss too. There is no need to buy it from such an expensive place.

“I made a reservation with Mirae Jeong.”

When I gave the CEO’s real name, which was quite unfamiliar, rather than the familiar stage name ‘Remy’, the employee let out an exclamation while checking a piece of paper.

“Mi-rae Jeong…. Ah, there you are. “You can go into the innermost room over there.”

“Thank you. Yuna, let’s go in.”

“Yes.”

We put our shoes away and headed to the back room following the staff’s instructions. Maybe it was because it was such an expensive restaurant, but I could barely hear the loud conversations that you would normally hear in a restaurant.

“I guess we came first?”

“Yes.”

Likewise, when I opened the sliding door and entered, there were side dishes commonly found in Japanese food, such as simple pickled ginger, rock kyo, and salad.

Judging by the seats set up for two on the right, it seemed like that was where we would sit, so we sat down with our butts pressed against that side.

Rattling.

As soon as that happened, the sliding door opened again. I wondered if the staff had come to bring me another meal in advance, but when a familiar face appeared, I got up from my seat without realizing it.

“Si-yoon came first? She’s sorry she made you wait.”

It was none other than the appearance of our boss.

The boss appeared in sophisticated clothes and a fairly luxurious-looking watch on his wrist, as if giving the impression of a successful career woman. Just by looking at him, he had a unique force. It was quite a contrast to the image I saw in the video of being just a nice, funny aunt or older sister in her 30s.

I couldn’t help but be nervous because this was only my third time seeing him in person. How many people can feel at peace with their employer rather than anyone else?

“Oh, no. We just arrived too. “More than that, thank you for calling me today, boss.”

I know you called me to hand over a wedding invitation, but I bowed my head politely because I was grateful that a single editor would pay this much attention.

It must have seemed very awkward to the older boss, so he let out a small laugh and made a gesture that seemed to stop him.

“Don’t be stiff, just relax. By the way, this is the one I’ve only heard about… ?”

“Yes, that is….”

When the boss’ gaze turned to Yuna, who was carefully holding my arm, I hesitated for a moment without realizing it.

I know I need to introduce you, but I was wondering whether I should reveal the truth about our relationship or just pretend that we are friends.

Since the boss isn’t the type to go anywhere and talk, I think it would be better to just say it.

“It suits you well, boy. Have you finally decided to date?”

“… Yes?”

While we were thinking about it, Yuna and I made eye contact, both dumbfounded, at a word that came out of the boss’s mouth.

… Did you already know?

***

After we decided to continue our conversation while eating, Yuna and I sat side by side and faced the boss. The eyes look as if they are very excited about something.

“You debuted yesterday. And it hasn’t been long since we decided to date?”

“Yes, for now….”

“It’s a good time. Of course, it’s a thorny road, but I think that’s a good thing when you’re young. “As you get older, you start to see human relationships too realistically.”

The boss muttered in a self-mocking tone, ‘It’s not a bad thing, but I don’t have any romance.’ Then he turned his head to Yuna. It seemed as if he wasn’t that interested in the sashimi sashimi in front of him.

“You said Yuna, right? I heard a lot of stories from Siyoon. “I heard she went through a lot of trouble because of that stalker, so I wanted to see her at least once, and now I get the chance.”

“I was really grateful for the help at that time. Oh, and this….”

Yuna expressed her gratitude and held out a small paper bag that had been left hidden on her table. The owner who accepted it tilted her head as if asking what this was.

“My parents told me to bring it to them. She said she would like to express her gratitude and congratulate her on her wedding….”

“Really? Then I can’t refuse. “Thank you, I’ll take it well.”

On the contrary, the boss smiled as he obediently accepted the paper bag, knowing full well that Yuna would be in an awkward position if she refused, saying that she did not ask for a reward. I thought this was a true adult.

“Oh, by the way, since I received it, I should also give you a wedding invitation first. Not long ago, I went out to give a wedding invitation to an acquaintance, but I forgot and came back after just drinking coffee. “It can’t be like this when you get older.”

It seems a bit nonsense for the boss, who is only in his mid-30s, to say something like this, but it is true that he is much older than us, so I couldn’t point it out and just smiled.

By the way, I thought that age drip was a regular comment that was only used during broadcasts, but it seems that he actually uses it often.

“There’s almost exactly one month left?”

“That’s right. “I thought about doing it a little earlier, but he and I were both so busy that it was difficult to stick to our schedules.”

The owner looked at the wedding invitation he had politely received with both hands and handed it over to me, as if he was somewhat disappointed.

From what I heard, the person I decided to marry works in the financial industry, and I heard that he travels all over the world, so he is just as busy as the boss.

It’s a bit surprising to think that these two people managed to meet, fall in love, and even get married. This is what it means to have time for love even if you are busy.

“Uh, over there…. “Can I go celebrate the wedding with Si-yoon?”

“What? “You’re going too?”

While I was reading the few words written on the wedding invitation without missing a single word, Yuna asked an unexpected question. This was something we hadn’t even discussed in advance, so I was more dumbfounded than the boss.

Isn’t it still activity time in a month? How are you going to attend the wedding? To begin with, my face may have been somewhat known by then.

“I’d be happy if you came. But wouldn’t you be busy if you just debuted?”

“Okay, you’ll be active by then, so what are you going to do?”

“It’s okay, the activity period is usually about a month. “It won’t be too busy then.”

Yuna smiled, as if she hadn’t said it without thinking, and despite the concerns of me and the boss, Yuna asked me to just trust her.

By the way, why do you want to come to our boss’s wedding? Is this just a repayment for help received? If that’s the case, there must be a way to repay it, even if it doesn’t have to be this way.

Under my gaze that seemed to ask ‘Why?’, Yuna asked her boss for permission and talked about various things, then secretly looked at her and smiled shyly. And then one word came out.

“… Actually, I wanted to receive her bouquet at least once before I married you. hehehe.”

“Anyway.”

The reason is simple enough to be pointless, but at the same time, I couldn’t stop laughing because I thought she was truly like my girlfriend.

A new idol who just debuted yesterday is already planning to get married after receiving her bouquet. What kind of comedy is this? What is even more reprehensible is that such a topic is so unnecessarily cute that it cannot even be criticized.

I thought that she was now an idol who was making full use of her charm.
