From this life as a child (726),
the reason Soo-hyun came into contact with the Golden Sol members was to naturally meet President Heo Young-gil.
If CEO Heo were to know that Soo-hyun’s attention is on him, he would immediately ask for various things for his agency’s family members.
It was obvious that Soo-hyeon would not be able to refuse easily as he knew the situation and felt a bit of debt to President Heo.
‘Of course, if it got too much, I would have cut it off… but if it’s going to end like that, it’s better than not meeting at all.’
Even though it was hard work, it was a good relationship and memory.
Even if it was something I remembered alone, I didn’t want to ruin it.
‘So it was definitely calculated at first… because the kids were so salty that they thought of us.’
In my actual experience, Golden Sol had a better group situation than END, but individual treatment was worse.
Unlike END, who managed to pull it off even if they were divided by three people, there were seven members of Golden Sol.
A life where everything in the group is divided into 7 equal parts.
It was scary to think that seven people were using the same lodgings that three members of END had used.
‘It was pretty good for the three of us to live together. There were two and a half rooms, so Jinyeon shared a room with me… Heejae’s snoring was really serious.’
Now, seven people have to share a 2.5-room room, so there must be someone sitting in a small space of less than one pyeong.
Knowing that situation, Su-hyeon said, ‘I’m a mountaineer too!’ During the filming, I deeply sympathized with the conversation between Golden Sol members Mundeok and Youngbin.
When it comes to tearful group life, both groups were Acorn Key’s comeback.
“Hey, is it okay if I call you hyung like Yubin? Even though I’m not your senior, I still feel embarrassed calling you Suhyeon. Su-hyeon or your brother can do it too.”
“that’s right. I will treat you not just as a title, but as a real brother. Haengnim! “You really changed our air conditioner…!”
“that’s right. “Now I can feel the cold wind even in my dorm.”
“And I also had meat today… thank you so much.”
Golden Sol members were generally easy-going and lively.
The sight of him being sincerely happy about the new air conditioner was enough to make Suhyun happy, and the atmosphere did not subside even if he spoke little because the sound was never empty.
‘Even though they feel different from us… they are definitely one group.’
END may have ceased to exist, but I’m glad there are good people there.
Suhyun smiled calmly and appropriately accepted the words of the Golden Sol members.
Those who did not rely on his fame or pretended to be friends and asked for other favors were noisy but comfortable.
‘Except for being a low-ranking group and feeling anxious about how long the group’s lifespan is left… I think it would be good to help out a little in that area. At the level of being just right without going too far…’
Suhyeon looked at the bright Golden Sol members and thought of a way to indirectly extend the group’s lifespan.
I got to know him because of President Heo, but he became attached to this group.
‘But I don’t want to insert it directly or put pressure on it. hmm.’
Even though it doesn’t have a huge plus alpha, it can still be evaluated as a ‘common idol dance song’.
In this case, the success or failure of the group ultimately depends on whether there is an opportunity or not, and if it is a bit of a topic, Suhyun could have helped sufficiently.
‘Of course, the next step is to support the members’ talents.’
Just as Soohyun’s acting skills shone and her popularity as an actress influenced the group and saved END, in the end, the members’ sparkling talents should capture the fans.
Inwardly cheering for Golden Sol’s future, Suhyeon added three servings of meat.
The more difficult times were, the more I had to have a strong stomach to avoid thinking about anything else.
“When you dance, you burn a lot of calories. “You have to eat well to build muscle.”
“Oh right. Did you do ballet? I saw that you sing well in 〈Black Wings〉. “I think I would have done really well even if I were an idol.”
“I know. Competing with Blues and taking the music world by storm….”
“If you use a sexy concept, all the kids will fall down. My brother’s face has a very innocent feel, but his unexpected charm kills me. “Do you think you’ll do well in Produce?”
“Arthur.”
The Golden Sol members flirted with each other and started talking about ‘IF Suhyun was an idol.’
Only Suhyun, who knew about her grades when she was an idol, covered up her awkward feelings with a smile.
‘I’m glad they don’t know that I was playing the game of obscurity while being an idol…’
This is what it means to say that ignorance is medicine.
Su-hyeon put perilla leaves on top of the lettuce, topped with seasoned bean sprouts, two pieces of meat, a clove of garlic, a little bit of ssamjang, and another piece of meat, and ate it nicely wrapped.
Although the unspeakable past was bitter, the ssam was delicious.
‘This meat restaurant is still delicious even if the future changes. The seasoning was well absorbed into the bean sprouts, so it was well-balanced…’
It was a good idea to mention this place, pretending to find it on the Internet, while saying that you would buy Mundeok a meal.
The first restaurant I visited after returning had the same taste as before, satisfying both nostalgia and happiness.
At least today’s day was worthwhile by visiting this place again.
“hmm? “Oh, no one was at the dorm, but they were here.”
“president!”
While Suhyeon was eating meat while offering meat to the other members, someone called them in a happy voice.
Suhyun paused for a moment and slowly turned her head.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen him, but President Heo was just as I remembered, looking at him and the Golden Sol members.
‘Even though it’s been 20 years since we met, it’s only been a few years since the accident happened… I took the possibility into account, but it’s surprising to meet like this.’
The meat restaurant we came to today was secretly known to local residents and was a place that President Heo often visited.
I thought we might meet by chance, but when we actually did, I was a little surprised.
“oh! Hello, actor Kang Soo-hyun. This is Heo Young-gil, president of Nuri Entertainment. I’m so glad to meet you like this. ha ha ha.”
President Heo, who found Soo-hyeon, gave her a business card and held out his hand with flashing eyes.
Seeing Yeong-gil’s attitude, which Su-hyeon was familiar with even though she had never experienced it herself, Su-hyeon slowly held the outstretched hand.
“…This is Kang Soo-hyun.”
An emotion unknown to others enveloped Suhyeon.
“haha! I heard that my kids are close friends with actor Kang, but I never thought we would have a meal together like this. Oh my gosh, the glass is empty. “I’ll pour you a drink.”
President Heo naturally joined the group and filled Suhyun’s soju glass.
His eyes sparkled worldly, perhaps because he thought Su-hyeon was a golden rope.
‘It looks like you’re doing well with no injuries in particular.’
While drinking, Su-hyeon looked at President Heo.
I met him after a long time and, as I heard, he was just as energetic as before.
Suhyeon was internally relieved to see that he was still the same.
‘I was worried what would happen if the number of people increased so much that they were barely holding on… I’m glad they seem to be doing well.’
Although she couldn’t forget her past relationship, Su-hyeon was always careful not to get lost in her memories.
This is because the things that only I remember were stories from a time that no longer exists.
The wounds I received from my parents, the jealousy I felt towards Hyeon-do, the friendship I built with the END members, and even the gratitude I had for President Heo…
Sometimes they overlapped, but the newly built relationships were more important.
‘I don’t know if you need help… Trying to restore the relationship as it was in the past is greedy.’
That’s right, lost time never comes back.
Su-hyeon learned how to organize things by experiencing painful and complicated relationships first.
Rather than regrets, the things I had accumulated through effort so far were more important.
“Next time I’ll shoot in a nice place.”
“no. it’s okay. I’m satisfied with being Mundeok and Yubin’s close older brother. “It’s a personal relationship, but it’s strange to sit down with the CEO of the agency.”
“haha! Mundeok and Yubin are sociable. “Please continue to take care of our children.”
Su-hyeon maintained his distance but left room for Golden Sol.
Perhaps because he read the meaning contained within, President Heo smiled kindly, said a favor, and lifted the glass in front of him.
“ruler! This is also fate, so let’s have a toast! For actor Kang Soo-hyun and our Golsol!”
“for!”
“for.”
Since the only guests were our group, we excitedly gave a congratulatory speech to President Heo.
The sound of clinking glasses rang out clearly.
There was a lingering feeling, but it was a clean finish that did not fade
* * *
‘It’s okay.’
Suhyun, who was sorting through recently taken photos on her phone, stared at a photo taken a few days ago with Golden Sol members and President Heo.
When I saw the photo of everyone smiling together, it became clearer to me that my lingering feelings about my past relationship had been resolved to some extent.
‘Even though I crossed paths with CEO Heo and became acquaintances… I still feel like we have a new connection.’
Even though the purpose became blurred, the goodwill remained, and even after meeting President Heo, Su-hyeon chatted with Mun-deok occasionally.
Because we were in different industries, the conversation wasn’t burdensome.
‘Even if I’m popular, I’m not at a level where I can influence the music industry and the idol industry. I would have been concerned if one of the members had gone into acting.’
It’s still somewhere between someone I know and a close brother or sister, so this level is perfect.
Suhyun looked away from the photo and checked the calendar widget.
Because I had been busy for a few days, the space under the numbers was crowded.
‘And from today it’s even more dense.’
Suhyun, who was staring at the screen, felt the curling iron fall and put down her phone.
Jeongwon, who was working hard on his hair in the back, smiled brightly with pride.
“Actor! “With a little wave like this, you look very bright!”
“Iknow, right. The image has completely changed. “Thank you, Jeongwon.”
“What is this, my job! ah! “Still, it’s a hassle to do it every time, so should I perm it a bit?”
“The Joseon part is clichéd anyway… so that’s not a bad thing.”
Su-hyeon checked her appearance in the mirror and turned her head to and fro, feeling that her impression had become much more glamorous.
The hair that was wavy and wavy was a little strange.
‘No, is it seaweed? It’s awkward… but it suits you well.’
I am satisfied that my makeup was applied neatly.
Soohyun slightly folded her shirt sleeves to expose her forearms and headed to the scene.
The staff members who greeted him expressed their admiration at his changed appearance.
“oh! Welcome, Suhyeon. When you do your hair like that, your impression is completely different! “It looks very Italian!”
“…thank you.”
“This very greasy pasta looks great! exorcism!”
“….”
I wonder what it looks like to be good at pasta.
With a soulless smile, Suhyun glanced at the set over the PD’s shoulder.
My fingertips twitched when I saw the large hunk of raclette cheese and the knife.
‘It’s not a formal dish, but it’s something like this… It’s not difficult.’
