“It is only natural that Chae-yoon is famous. It’s a fact that everyone knows, just like you. What are you going to do?”

“… why me?”

“You are trying to be famous now. You’re less exposed than Chaeyoon, but you’ve already appeared as a producer in the behind-the-scenes video of Yumi’s album, and now you’re getting more and more publicized as the Me Tube video spreads.”

“… I never thought of that.”

I never had any idea what was going to happen to me.

It was natural.

What would Jo Sung-hyun think that something like this would happen?

How can he just help Chae-yoon?

What should I do for my child to grow up safely?

I’ve only been thinking about it, because I’ve never, never imagined, what it would be like to become famous this way.

“I think we should think about it step by step.”

“is it.”

“There are cases where an idol trainee first announces their name as a producer and then joins an idol group. How do you feel about that?”

“You want me to become an idol at this age?”

“No, even if it’s not like that. You can be an artist.”

“I have no intention of becoming an artist.”

Jo Sung-hyun shook his head and said.

He really didn’t want to be an artist.

Artists have too many restrictions.

There will be many restrictions to the extent that Jo Seong-hyeon cannot play the role of Chae-yoon’s protector properly.

There will be a lot of work.

He didn’t want that.

Of course, I like to sing and make music.

It makes me happy when I’m working on music, and it’s fun in many ways.

However, it was Chae-yoon who kept Jo Seong-hyeon alive.

Jo Sung-hyun feels that he is living when he is with a child.

There is a stronger happiness than the happiness of making music.

For Jo Seong-hyeon, Chae-yoon was the top priority, and he had no intention of doing anything that would interfere with life with the child.

Did you feel that way?

Park Joong-won glanced at Chae-yoon.

Chae-yoon blinked her eyes and looked at Jo Sung-hyun, then opened her mouth.

“But my dad sings better than the Little Mermaid.”

the child says

Jo Sung-hyun sings better than Little Mermaid, so he said that he could be an artist.

Jo Sung-hyun looked at Chae-yoon with a strange face.

Park Joong-won laughed.

“Is not it. Chaeyoon’s dad is good at making music, and he’s also good at singing.”

“yes! Daddy is all right.”

Chae-yoon nodded her head in reply.

Park Joong-won looked at Jo Sung-hyun.

“Is that so?”

“Being good at everything also means being able to help Chaeyun do everything she wants to do.”

Jo Sung-hyun shrugged his shoulders and said.

Park Joong-won looked at him as if there was no absurdity.

“There is no reason not to do what you can do.”

“brother.”

“yes.”

“I am satisfied with this life now. I go to work four or five times a week. Other than that, I love this kind of life spent with Chaeyoon.”

“… … .”

“But if you say you want to become an artist, you have to give up that kind of life.”

“What… It can’t be completely the same.”

“It’s not that it can’t be completely the same, it’s that you have to completely change your life. That’s why I can’t be an artist.”

Cho Sung-hyun cannot be an artist.

It wasn’t that I hated singing or performing in front of people.

However, there are countless things to prepare to stand on stage.

In the process of preparing like that, it was difficult for Chaeyoon to be together.

So Jo Sung-hyun couldn’t become an artist.

“No matter what you do, you should do it seriously and do your best. If I take my work seriously as an artist now and do my best, the time I can spend with Chaeyoon will decrease. That’s not the way I like it.”

Jo Sung-hyun speaks calmly.

Chae-yoon, fully realizing that he was the reason he freely converts into an artist, widened his eyes.

It’s like I don’t know what to say.

The child licked his lips.

Meanwhile, Park Joong-won looked at Jo Seong-hyeon quietly and stepped out.

“Well, if that is your will, then I have no intention of recommending any more. But, um… They will come even if you don’t want to. As an artist or as a producer. It’s time to go out in public.”

“It will come.”

“yes. Prepare in advance. Even for Chaeyoung. There isn’t much we can do, though.”

Park Joong-won said seriously.

Seong-Hyeon Cho nodded.

He was right.

One day, the time will come when you will have to stand in front of the public.

Whether it’s because of his job or as Chaeyoon’s protector.

Even for that time, Jo Sung-hyun had to be prepared.

‘still… .’

Many allies had already been secured.

If there is a problem that Jo Seong-hyeon cannot handle, Park Joong-won will be the first to come forward.

Seo Ye-na and Yu-mi will also appear immediately.

They don’t have to protect themselves.

However, if only Chae-yoon could protect her, that would have been the case.

‘I made a contract.’

When I first started working on an album with Seo Ye-na, I signed a contract with Seo Ye-na to support Chae-yoon.

Well, now that we don’t have such contract terms, we’re close friends, so it was natural to just help.

I was having a conversation with Park Joong-won like that, and Chae-yoon opened her mouth carefully.

“Dad.”

“Yes, Chae Yoon-ah.”

“The little mermaid is happier when she is at sea.”

the child says

Jo Sung-hyun knew immediately what Chae-yoon’s words meant.

Just like Jo Seong-hyun looking at the child and worrying that what he is trying to protect may be the act of confinement.

Chae-yoon is worried that she might be imprisoning Cho Sung-hyun.

The Little Mermaid will be happier in the open sea than in the aquarium.

“right. The little mermaid is happier when she is at sea.”

“yes.”

Chae-yoon nodded and answered.

Jo Sung-hyun smiled brightly.

“But, Dad is the happiest when he’s with Chaeyoon.”

At those words, Chaeyoon’s eyes widen.

The child smiled brightly.

“I like being with my dad the best.”

The child said so and hugged Jo Sung-hyun.

Jo Sung-hyun hugged Chae-yoon.

“What is this warm atmosphere?”

Yumi and Jang Hyun-ah have arrived.

* * *

The album release commemorative party was held in a small way.

Since it was a weekend, I couldn’t call all the staff.

Just the team leader, Park Joong-won, and the manager, Jang Hyun-ah.

And artist Yumi and producers Seonghyeon and Chaeyun.

In addition, Seo Ye-na and team leader Woo Kyung-soo who participated in the feature.

It was a small party with a total of 7 people.

Alcohol is also available, and everyone is not familiar with each other, so the atmosphere is easily relaxed.

Jo Sung-hyun glanced at Seo Ye-na and Yu-mi.

While Park Joong-won and Woo Kyung-soo were talking to each other, Yu-mi and Seo Ye-na were also talking to each other.

I don’t know when they became so close, but at least they never looked at each other.

“I think the sisters are getting along.”

Chae-yoon also saw Seo Ye-na and Yu-mi having a conversation and whispered to Jo Seong-hyeon.

Jo Sung-hyun nodded slightly and stroked the boy’s head.

“Seniors.”

At the sound of Jang Hyun-ah’s voice, Jo Sung-hyun raised his gaze.

With a light smile, Hyuna Jang was standing holding two glasses.

“Would you like a drink?”

“… Yes. thanks.”

Jo Sung-hyun, who refrained from drinking when Chae-yoon was present, was a little too harsh to refuse at this place.

It was also a pleasant place, and Jang Hyun-ah had already brought two glasses, but if she refuses, she will be embarrassed.

“What kind of alcohol do you usually drink?”

“I used to drink soju and some beer. I hardly drink now. It’s not that I just like alcohol, it’s been a while since I drank… It’s delicious.”

Jo Sung-hyun took a sip of the beer and continued.

Jang Hyun-ah looked at Chae-yoon and realized why Jo Seong-hyeon wasn’t drinking, and she had an ominous face, but when she heard that Jo Seong-hyun said it was delicious, she smiled.

“Does Hyuna have any other favorite drinks?”

“Actually, I’m not a big fan of alcohol either, but it’s a style I don’t take out whenever I have a drink. Soju, beer, wine, spirits… I tend to drink it all.”

Hyeon-ah Jang, who was saying that, made a sound, “Ah,” and continued.

“I drink a lot of makgeolli at home.”

“Oh, that’s a bit surprising. Do you like makgeolli?”

“It’s not that I like it, it’s that my father likes makgeolli.”

“Aha.”

I just found out for the first time that CEO Jang Pan-seok likes makgeolli.

“If there is a good makgeolli later, I can give it to Hyuna.”

“Hey, what do I say?”

Jo Seong-hyeon said that without thinking, but stopped at Jang Hyun-ah’s answer.

He knew that Jang Hyeon-ah was the daughter of CEO Jang Pan-seok, so it came naturally, but Jang Hyun-ah would not know that he knew that.

‘I may be a little skeptical, but I’m not sure.’

Jo Sung-hyun thought to himself, and laughed.

“Still, he’s a colleague’s father I work with. If there is an opportunity to take care of it, it’s good to take care of it.”

“Oh, then, if I have a chance to take care of you too, I will take care of you a lot.”

“Me?”

At Jang Hyun-ah’s words, Jo Seong-hyun blinked and asked.

Jang Hyun-ah nodded at him.

“Yes, if I treat my senior well, my Chae-yoon will like me more, right?”

In response, Jo Sung-hyun laughed.

I didn’t feel any lies in Jang Hyun-ah’s words, saying that she had to do better to herself in order to get Chae-yoon’s liking.

Jo Sung-hyun was grateful that she cared for Chae-yoon.

Hyuna Jang may be the manager right now, but she will be the CEO of Pan Entertainment later.

No matter what happens to Chae-yoon, she will surely be able to help.

“I already like you.”

Chae-yoon also said with a big smile, wondering if Jang Hyun-ah’s words were funny.

“really? Do you like my sister?”

“yes. My sister is nice… Oh, it’s pretty.”

At the child’s words, Jang Hyun-ah made a bright face.

“It feels so good to hear that from Chaeyoon.”

In a more excited voice than usual, Jang Hyun-ah said.

We talked like that, and eventually, after a while, we all got together and started chatting.

And finally.

“10!”

The countdown begins with Park Joong-won’s cry.

6 o’clock on the hour.

“One!”

Yumi’s new album has been released.
