43 – Live with me

Episode 43

Cheon A-ram asked with an expression of pure curiosity rather than condemnation.

“Since when have you been awake?”

I glanced at the eyes of autumn.

Even though he was lying on the floor, his face was pale and he was just looking at my mouth.

It was embarrassing to reveal the truth in front of a child like that.

Okay, let’s do what Autumn did.

“I was half-awake when I heard a crash and the bed vibrated. “Immediately after that, I was in a half-asleep state and it was difficult to open my eyes, so I couldn’t wake up.”

Ga Eul sighed as if she was glad she heard what I said.

It looked suspicious to anyone who saw it.

… Do you have any intention of hiding it? Autumn.

“But when I came to my senses, I felt embarrassed to break the mood because a serious conversation was going on. So I unintentionally surprised him. “I’m sorry if you felt uncomfortable.”

Cheon Aram shook his head slightly and said.

“… No, it’s not something that Team Leader Sun should apologize for. “I was just surprised by how exquisitely it delved into the story.”

“I’m sorry, but I’d like to finish talking about him, is that okay?”

Cheon A-ram nodded as if giving permission.

I continued speaking with relief.

“Suyeon. Ga Eul is still a young child. “For now, I just have to do what I want to do.”

Seo Su-yeon said as she picked up the folder she had thrown away.

“I would like to ask Team Leader Seon what context he is talking about.”

I looked at Ga Eul.

She sat quietly as if she had not fallen in surprise.

I thought that was cute, so I smiled a little and said.

“It means that it’s okay for a child to be a little irritable. “Like choosing both.”

Seo Soo-yeon shook her head slightly and said.

“Although she can be considered a child in her legal name, we judged Ms. Ga-eul Yoo to be an adult with the ability to make her own decisions and entered into a contract. “I think Team Leader Sun will agree with this.”

“If it was the moment you decided to become an idol and signed a contract, then what Sooyeon said is correct. But now, this situation is not the result of Gaeul’s choice.”

My biological father’s gambling and domestic violence.

Gahyeon has to be left alone.

How can all of this be seen as Ga Eul’s choice?

“Isn’t it harsh to see this situation where the happiness Ga-eul wanted to have is disappearing one by one is the result of Ga-eul’s choices?”

Suyeon. Don’t you think so too? Aren’t we the people chosen by Cheon Ah-ram?

“Don’t you agree with these stories, as Su-yeon was also chosen by the president?”

Seo Su-yeon nodded slightly and said.

“It is true that if I had the energy, I would rather write to the boss and others than to myself. … But that doesn’t mean taking responsibility for everyone’s life. I distinguish between what I can and cannot do, and what I can and cannot do.”

She looked into my eyes and said.

“So Gaeul, you have to take responsibility. “This is Ga Eul’s job, not anyone else’s.”

I also looked into her eyes and said.

“It’s the adult’s job to take on that responsibility.”

A thrilling fight broke out.

I spoke to Ga Eul in the heated air.

“Ga-eul, if you don’t want to send Ga-hyeon to an orphanage, how about leaving Ga-hyeon with a trustworthy family?”

Ga Eul spoke in a depressed voice.

“… “I don’t know if Taeyang oppa has heard, but there is no place like that for me.”

I shook my head slightly and said.

“There is one. “I don’t know if Autumn thinks you can be trusted.”

“… Where is it?”

“my house.”

There was silence for a moment.

Gae-gaeul asked in silence as if he hadn’t heard.

“… Taeyang’s house?”

“Yeah, I think it would be okay to do it at my house. If autumn only allows you and Gahyeon’s will.”

“… .”

Gaeul seemed to be taken aback by the unexpected proposal.

It was natural.

So I had to explain.

What are the benefits of making this choice?

“I probably won’t be able to spend all my time on Gahyeon because I have a full-time job, but I will use whatever time I have left to make sure Gahyeon can pursue art without obstacles.”

So that there are no difficulties in realizing your dreams.

“So that you don’t worry, I’ll tell you everything about Gahyeon that day. What worries she has, what she wants to do, and what she wants to have. Of course, I will refrain from talking about privacy… .”

So that there is no misunderstanding of each other’s feelings.

“It’s not something that can be resolved only verbally. Of course, I will do my best to be able to meet Gahyeon often. “If there’s a moment when you go out to eat someday in the fall, I’ll make it so we can do it together.”

The distance is far away so that the heart is also far away.

“Considering that Ga-gul is reluctant to go to the nursery school, he might have been concerned that the people at the nursery school would treat Gahyeon in a professional way… . I will face Gahyeon properly. Not as an object to be entrusted and cared for, but as a human being and an adult.”

Make it feel like a human relationship, not a job.

That’s how I will take care of Gahyeon.

“Can you trust me?”

I spoke in a very serious voice so that the decision would not be taken lightly.

Ga Eul looked at me and said.

“… Will it be all right?”

It was a weak voice that seemed to crumble.

I spoke as kindly as I could, hoping to put her at ease.

“Yes, of course it’s okay.”

Tears welled up in Ga Eul’s eyes again.

I thought there was a lot to cry about these days.

She cleared her throat slightly, cleared the moisture in her throat, and then opened her mouth.

“Then I… .”

The moment Ga Eul nodded and spoke, Cheon A-ram spoke in a firm voice.

“No, Team Leader Sun. “It’s not okay at all.”

“… yes?”

why not? Ga Eul just gave an OK sign, right?

If we just leave it alone, everything will be resolved. Why are you interfering now?

I explained even though I felt puzzled.

“This is not about using the company’s capital. “If I just handle it, everything will be resolved.”

Cheon Aram looked at me with a perplexed expression as if she didn’t know what to do with this and said.

“That’s why it’s not okay.”

“yes?”

“Currently, Team Leader Sun is not acting as the team leader of Two Bear, but as the human Sun Taeyang.”

Only then did I fully understand the meaning of the look Cheon A-ram gave me.

That was a deep worry.

“I was able to understand what happened during the last busking by giving in 100 times. Because recruiting Gaeul will be helpful to the company. And that help will also have an impact on Team Leader Seon’s success.”

Cheon A-ram said, ‘It is true that the sacrifice seemed excessive even back then,’ and continued.

“But it’s different now, right? No matter how you calculate profit and loss, it is not a sacrifice that can be replaced with the price of such success.”

From a businesswoman’s perspective, all she has to do is benefit from my choices. But it didn’t happen.

“It is absolutely not a light task to take responsibility for one child. “In that case, Team Leader Seon will lose much more than the bonus salary that the company can give.”

Cheon A-ram spoke with concern that was unbecoming of a businessman.

“Keep in mind. Team Leader Seon is a salaried worker. Not a volunteer or a thinker.”

“… Isn’t that what the boss is saying?”

“That is correct. It’s not something that comes out of the boss’s mouth. But if you leave Team Leader Sun alone, he won’t be able to hold on and will collapse. … like now.”

Hearing that while lying in the hospital room, it was difficult to refute.

“Make a value judgment. And do a job that suits your salary.”

“… .”

In fact, Aram Cheon is right.

What I am doing now is an act of losing money from any point of view when making a value judgment.

If the only goal is to recruit Ga-gul, you don’t have to go this far.

It’s enough just to change autumn’s intentions.

Considering the faith that autumn showed me, it wouldn’t be that difficult.

‘Trust me and send Gahyeon to the orphanage. I will take care of it myself.’

If you say this much, Gaeul will agree.

I am confident that I have developed that level of persuasive power.

So there is only one thing I get from my choice now.

Autumn’s happiness.

It is only the invisible mind of one person.

But that one thing has become of utmost importance today.

“… .”

As a child, I had hope.

I hope that the illusory being of adulthood will extend a helping hand to my older sister, who had to drop out of high school and start her career early, and to me, a weakling who could only dream.

Of course, that dream did not come true.

But I can make that dream come true.

Know.

This thought is nothing more than a projection of their unfortunate childhood onto Gaeul and Gahyeon.

Not being able to go beyond cheap self-satisfaction.

Even though I am aware of all of this, I am speaking.

“I already promised. “I will become Gaeul’s strength.”

“… .”

After a long silence, Cheon A-ram lightly scratched her head and asked.

“… Team leader Sun. I didn’t want to ask this question again, but it’s hard to hold back the question. “I’ll just ask you one more time.”

she asked as if she genuinely didn’t understand.

“Why are you trying to do that?”

Why do I make this choice?

Before I returned, I wanted to be a good person, so I did crazy things.

I don’t think like that now.

Because I learned the hard way that it was foolish and worthless.

So why are you doing this again?

… Actually, I don’t know either.

“president. Do you remember what you said when you first came to scout me?”

Cheon Ah-ram said with a light smile as if it felt like it was a long time ago.

“Don’t remember.”

“Didn’t you say you would recruit me because I am the humanist the boss wants?”

“okay. It was.”

“Then accept it, I am this kind of person.”

“… .”

Oh, what can I say about eating something like this? If you screwed up, you shouldn’t have recruited.

Seeing me like that, Aram Cheon ate and laughed.

and spoke plainly.

“As I said before, I want to have a long-lasting relationship with Team Leader Sun. I know very well that people like Team Leader Sun are rare.”

Even if I thought about it, there weren’t many people like me.

“By the way, Team Leader Sun. If you live like that, one day you won’t be able to hold on and you’ll collapse. … Then I will be very disappointed.”

I thought it was one of the praises a boss could give to a subordinate.

Thank you for that heart, bowed your head and said politely.

“I will only do this until today. “It will be different starting tomorrow.”

Then Aram Cheon said as if sighing.

“… You know that’s what smokers who have failed to quit smoking usually say, right?”

For some reason, it wasn’t the reaction I expected.

I secretly noticed it.

Gae-gae and Seo Su-yeon were nodding their heads.

Both seemed to have a similar impression on my words.

I timidly retorted.

“Wouldn’t this be easier than quitting smoking?”

““… .””

… no no
