The Idol's Unexpected Guests
After leaving the hospital.
We got in Park's car and headed straight for my place.
Of course we bought tteokbokki.
More precisely, Seoyun couldn't get out of the car, so I bought it.
“One order of mild, please.”
After ordering and coming back, Seoyun lowered the window a little.
“Fried tteokbokki?”
“I didn’t buy any.”
The window went up again.
Click.
The car door was locked too.
“Hey.”
No response.
So I had to go back and buy the fried tteokbokki as well.
When I got in the car, Seoyun happily accepted the bag.
“Perfect, Dad.”
“From now on, you buy.”
“I’m one of the people whose face is most widely sold in Korea.”
I couldn’t argue back.
Because her face was on the billboard in front of the traffic light.
EVIL Han Seoyun.
It was a new song advertisement.
In the screen, Seoyun was wearing a black dress and staring coldly at the camera.
[EVIL 4TH MINI ALBUM]
It was cool.
Mysterious.
Proud.
Seemed hard to approach.
I looked to the side.
The real Han Seoyun was spreading a tissue on her knee so the tteokbokki broth wouldn't spill.
“Minjae-ya.”
“Why.”
“Want to eat one eomuk?”
“I don’t eat.”
“Then I’ll eat.”
Even the country's top idol was ordinary in front of eomuk.
...
As soon as we arrived home, a problem arose.
A stack of delivery boxes was in front of the door.
One.
Two.
Three.
Five.
Six.
“What is this?”
Park said casually.
“I sent them.”
I checked one box.
[Comprehensive Prenatal Nutrition Supplement]
Next.
[Prenatal Sleep Cushion]
Next.
[Low Noise Humidifier]
Next to it was an air purifier.
I looked at Seoyun.
“Delivery? Not like jajangmyeon, how did it come so fast?”
Park answered briefly.
“VVIP, right?”
Seoyun checked the boxes.
“More expensive than what I chose?”
“Good.”
“As expected from our company.”
I looked at the boxes filling the entrance and realized.
This isn't just for a short stay.
Park finally pulled in a large suitcase.
“I only brought what was urgently needed.”
“Is this urgently needed?”
The suitcase reached my waist.
Seoyun opened the zipper.
Clothes.
Clothes.
More clothes.
Cosmetic pouch.
Toiletries.
Charger.
Tablet.
And.
Game console.
“Why is there a game console?”
“Parenting education.”
“Where do you get parenting education from?”
“Reducing stress is parenting education.”
He was a human impossible to win with logic.
Park checked his watch.
“I have to go back to the company.”
Seoyun raised her head.
“Tell the CEO?”
“I'll organize the situation first.”
“Even the pregnancy?”
Park paused for a moment.
“I have to report it.”
The playful look disappeared from Seoyun's face.
Park patted Seoyun's shoulder once.
“Don't worry.”
It was a short word.
But Seoyun nodded then.
“Yeah.”
Park then looked at me.
“Kim Minjae.”
“Yes.”
“It might not just be today.”
I had expected it.
But hearing it directly made it complicated.
“I'll prepare a place as quickly as possible. Until then, please take care of Seoyun.”
“Understood.”
“And.”
Park lowered his voice.
“Seoyun doesn't take care of her own body as much as you think.”
“I guess so.”
“If there's a schedule, she hides it even if her body hurts.”
“I guess that's the case too.”
Seoyun interrupted with a displeased face.
“Why are the two of you suddenly getting along?”
We ignored her at the same time.
“If anything happens, contact me right away.”
“Okay.”
Park left.
The front door closed.
And.
Silence.
Only me and Seoyun remained.
Fifteen years friends.
Center of the country's most popular girl group EVIL.
And now, a woman pregnant with my child.
It felt like the situation was crazy anew.
Seoyun seemed to have the same thought and looked at me.
“......”
“......”
Strange silence.
It was Seoyun who spoke first.
“Let's eat tteokbokki.”
The mood was immediately shattered.
“It gets cold and tasteless.”
We sat facing each other at the table.
Seoyun ate one tteokbokki and smiled satisfied.
Then suddenly pushed the plate towards me.
“Eat.”
“Why.”
“You worked hard becoming a dad.”
That was the biggest problem.
I picked up one tteokbokki and ate it.
It was spicy.
And my life was becoming spicy too.
...
After finishing the meal.
I decided to start dealing with practical issues.
“Let's set some rules first.”
Seoyun was lying on the sofa playing the game console.
“What rules?”
“We're going to live together.”
“Yeah.”
“First. Don't come into my room without permission.”
“I hate it.”
“Why!”
“I'm going to sleep there.”
I lost my words.
“Who decided that?”
“There's only one bed.”
“There's a sofa.”
“Make the pregnant woman sleep on the sofa?”
I already knew that once that was said, I had no words.
“Then I'll take the sofa?”
“Yeah.”
Instant answer.
“Think about it at least!”
I gritted my teeth.
“Second. Don't wear my clothes.”
Seoyun took her eyes off the game console and looked at me.
“Why?”
“Why not?”
I pointed at her belly with my finger.
“You already got pregnant once!”
“Ah.”
Seoyun understood.
“I'll accept that.”
Finally, one got through.
“Only wear my clothes.”
“Okay.”
“Especially pants. Absolutely not.”
“I got it.”
“Don't touch anything in my room either.”
“Hey.”
Seoyun suddenly stopped the game.
“But do you still have the pants you were wearing then?”
“......”
“Threw them away?”
I didn't answer.
Seoyun's eyes widened.
“You didn't wash them yet?”
“Of course I did!”
“Why are you shouting?”
“Because you said something weird!”
“I just asked out of curiosity.”
Seoyun thought for a moment.
And said.
“It's like a keepsake of our child being born.”
“Don't say keepsake! No one died!”
I was genuinely going crazy.
I gave up making rules.
At that moment.
Seoyun's phone rang.
Ring.
She checked the screen.
Her expression changed strangely.
“Why?”
“Group chat.”
“What group chat?”
“EVIL.”
I asked without thinking.
“What does it say?”
Seoyun showed the screen to me.
Messages kept coming.
And finally.
“Video call?”
My eyes hit the screen.
“Don't answer.”
Seoyun looked around.
My studio apartment.
Men's shoes.
Men's clothes.
It would even smell like men's scent.
Ring ring ring.
At that moment.
A video call came in.
On the screen.
The words [EVIL ❤️] appeared.
“Reject.”
“Then they'll suspect.”
“Accepting will make it more suspicious!”
“Wait a sec.”
Seoyun suddenly stood up.
Then she frantically looked around my house.
Threw my shirt into the closet.
Put the razor on the table into the drawer.
Kicked my slippers with her foot and pushed them under the bed.
“Hey! My things!”
“Be quiet!”
“This is my house!”
The call kept ringing.
Seoyun sat on the bed.
Adjusted the camera angle so only the wall showed.
After Seoyun took a deep breath.
She pressed the call button.
The expression changed instantly.
The person who had been eating tteokbokki and kicking my slippers disappeared
And Han Seoyun, the center of EVIL, appeared.
“Hey guys.”
From beyond the phone, the voices of three women exploded at the same time.
“Unnie!”
“Where are you!”
“Why didn't you answer the call!”
Seoyun smiled naturally.
“I'm resting today.”
“Where?”
“Eh?”
“It's not the dorm, right?”
Seoyun's smile hardened a little.
“Friend's house.”
“What friend?”
“Just a friend.”
“A girl?”
Silence.
My heart dropped.
Seoyun glanced at me.
I said with my mouth.
Say it's a girl.
Seoyun looked at the screen again.
“No.”
I widened my eyes.
Is she crazy?
The area beyond the phone became quiet.
And.
“Is it a guy?”
At that moment, Seoyun's gaze towards me hardened, and she said firmly.
“Yeah.”
Bang!
I was startled and backed up, hitting my knee on the table.
“Ouch!”
I let out a sound unintentionally.
The area beyond the phone became quiet again.
Seoyun's face hardened.
Mine did too.
After a while.
A very small voice came from beyond the video call.
“...Is the male voice just now correct?”
Another voice.
“Unnie.”
And finally.
“Send the address.”
Seoyun slowly looked at me.
I said while holding my knee.
“It's over.”
Seoyun nodded slightly.
“Yeah.”
Seoyun looked at her phone.
Ring.
“Unnie, I'm really going.”
Ring.
“Ask the manager unnie?”
Seoyun immediately wrote our house address and sent a reply.
“Hey!”
I reached out to snatch Seoyun's phone.
But it was too late.
“You're really going?”
“Yeah.”
“Why send the address!”
“They're coming anyway.”
“What if you confirm it!”
Seoyun placed the phone down casually.
“Hiding it would be more suspicious.”
“Then what do you plan to explain?”
Seoyun thought for a moment at my words.
And said lightly.
“Just say it's a friend's house.”
I closed my eyes.
The most famous girl group members in Korea
were about to burst into our house.
