Chapter 39
Was it because Ha-eun and I talked until late past midnight?
Or was it because I finally let out everything I had been keeping in my heart for so long?
"Da-yeon, Da-yeon-ah…. Wake up…. Breakfast is ready…."
"Ummm…. Just 10 more minutes…."
As always, Ha-eun, who had woken up early, tried to wake Da-yeon, but she showed no signs of getting up.
Normally, Ha-eun would have tried harder to wake her up.
However, because of Da-yeon's true feelings towards Ha-eun that she revealed for the first time yesterday, she became more conscious of Da-yeon than usual.
'...Even if I ate ramen and went to bed, I wouldn't be this swollen.'
So, instead of forcing Da-yeon's incredibly swollen eyes open, she gently covered her with a soft blanket.
Then, she went to Da-yeon's parents and cautiously suggested that it might be better to let her sleep a little longer.
The Da-yeon family's breakfast without Da-yeon started after that.
It was true that sitting at the same table with someone else's parents for breakfast was a bit awkward.
But either way, skipping breakfast is bad for your health.
That little bit of awkwardness was nothing compared to getting sick.
So, as always, I was mostly picking at the healthy foods when.
"Hmm, Ha-eun really doesn't have any preferences…. Ha-eun's mother must enjoy cooking for her."
Da-yeon's mother, Jeong Go-eun, who had been gazing at Ha-eun for a while, said something that was more like a soliloquy.
Following that was Da-yeon's father, Min Jeong-un's, short wish for Da-yeon.
"I hope she learns Ha-eun's lifestyle habits, if nothing else."
'...I'm glad I didn't wake her up.'
Da-yeon was already stressed from being compared to Ha-eun, so if even her small lifestyle habits were compared, she would definitely explode.
It was fortunate that Da-yeon hadn't left dreamland.
However, for some reason, I felt like I was sitting on thorns under the gaze of Jeong Go-eun and Min Jeong-un, which continued to be directed at Ha-eun.
Even though I knew they weren't looking at me with any ill intentions.
'I think I'm going to get indigestion….'
It was only after about 15 minutes that I was finally able to finish breakfast.
Just in time, a message came from Ju Jeong-yun saying that she would be arriving in front of Da-yeon's house soon, so I started to prepare to leave.
However, Da-yeon was still in dreamland.
So, I had no choice but to say goodbye only to Da-yeon's parents.
"Thank you for your hospitality."
"Oh, it's nothing. Come and visit often."
After finishing even the polite bow, I came out of Da-yeon's house.
"Han Yu-hwa Sojeo~. I missed you~!"
'...She didn't say she was coming with her mom.'
For some reason, Na-yeon, who was accompanying Ju Jeong-yun, ran towards Ha-eun and hugged her tightly.
Almost at the same time, Na-yeon's review of episode 5 of You Who Came From the Stars poured into Ha-eun's ears.
"Do you know how much Mom cried after seeing our daughter's appearance yesterday? You should have told Mom in advance that Han Yu-hwa was going to die, if not anyone else~!"
'I…I can't breathe….'
Even after getting into Ju Jeong-yun's van.
Na-yeon's heartfelt compliments continued until I arrived at the acting academy, not home, and said goodbye to Na-yeon once again.
To put it bluntly, it was a lethal dose.
It felt like I was going to get more indigestion than I did at breakfast with Da-yeon's parents.
However, even after entering the acting academy.
"The director has nothing more to teach you, so Ha-eun should go down the mountain now."
"…I just got here."
The acting academy director, whose long mustache was impressive, as well as the other child actors who always kept their distance from Ha-eun, treated Ha-eun with a slightly different look and attitude than before.
Ha-eun's confusion, which started with Da-yeon's sobbing last night, had continued for over 12 long hours.
Of course, it was true that episode 5, which aired last night, was the part that Ha-eun had put the most effort into filming.
But even so, it didn't seem right that the people around me would show such a drastic change.
'...Are they secretly filming a hidden camera prank or something?'
Without being able to be sure of anything, I felt awkward in the slow-moving time of today.
Soon, the acting class was completely over, and as always, I stopped by the public square for a while and trained my body as usual, and it was already evening.
Then, I trudged home and was treated to a meal with several times more side dishes than usual by Na-yeon, who called Ha-eun Sojeo once again.
"…There's too much…."
"Think of it as a belated birthday meal that I couldn't prepare yesterday."
After finishing the belated birthday party with the cake that Na-yeon had bought in advance.
I headed to the bathtub that had been filled with warm water in advance, and after being more exhausted than ever, I slumped down and recalled the conversation with Da-yeon last night.
"It's been two hours, Ha-eun-ah~. Are you still alive~?"
'...Time only goes by fast at times like this.'
At Na-yeon's voice, which kept asking about Ha-eun's survival through the crack in the bathroom door, I eventually got up with a stiff body.
After drying my damp hair for a long time.
After changing into pajamas with an impressive bear pattern on the chest, I connected to New World TV again today and started watching Daramji's broadcast.
"Okay, now that we've chosen all the thieves and police. We'll start the chase in 10 minutes~."
Today's content for Daramji's broadcast was cops and robbers.
If even the last one of the thieves escapes with the jewel, they win, so the police have to arrest all the thieves.
At first glance, it was a content that was greatly disadvantageous to the police.
However, the police were given several special abilities that were not given to the thieves, creating a proper balance.
For a while, only Daramji running away from the police was shown on the broadcast screen.
The moment the avatars of the members playing the police started to appear in the distance.
"Gangjeong Naeuri!! Please be well─!!!"
'…Huh?'
Daramji's appearance, who volunteered to be a decoy for another thief member and shouted loudly, telling the police over there that the thief was here, was captured on the broadcast screen.
However, more than anything else, the line that Daramji had just said that Ha-eun had definitely heard somewhere before.
In addition, 'Gangjeong', who was able to escape from the police thanks to Daramji's sacrifice, also.
"I will never forget Daramji Sojeo, no matter when it may be─!!"
Replied with a line that I had heard somewhere before.
Ha-eun's concentration on the broadcast suddenly increased sharply.
Immediately after, the police were seen discovering Daramji and firing their equipped bows in rapid succession.
Less than a few seconds later, Daramji's avatar transformed into a hedgehog-like appearance and died.
- Fake Yu-hwa cut off immediately lol
- Even the real Han Yu-hwa doesn't get hit this much
- It seems like the Sweet Potato and Lettuce didn't let the strange person impersonating Han Yu-hwa get away with it and shot them right away
"No, but wasn't it a little similar? Wasn't it similar at all?
Yes, yes
The real Han Yu-hwa doesn't make beep sounds in the first place
Gangjeong isn't really Park Do-joon either
"What's wrong with our Jeongie…but I guess it's a bit much even if I think about it."
- Gasp
- Her true feelings came out without her knowing
- Gangjeong is about to get upset in 10 seconds, 9 seconds, 8 seconds..
- You have to compare people who are comparable, Ramji-nim. In the first place, Gangjeong, like a zucchini, can't even compare to our Yunseong oppa─(This message has been deleted)
- Anyway, we succeeded in stealing the jewel, so it's a happy ending
After that, Daramji and the viewers continued to talk about You Who Came From the Stars.
Considering that You Who Came From the Stars is currently enjoying tremendous popularity nationwide, it may not be such a strange sight.
But it was a strange sight to see so many people, whose names and faces I didn't know, saying that Ha-eun's acting was impressive.
The confusion that had been with Ha-eun all day finally subsided completely, and a good, ticklish feeling filled the void.
The corners of Ha-eun's lips, reflected in the small hand mirror next to the monitor, were also gradually rising.
The feeling I was feeling was so good that no other thoughts could interfere.
\*
-Ugh….
-Ugh…. …Click.
"Hello?"
[Ah, Manager Ju. This is Lee Gun-yeol.]
"Ah, yes. Gun-yeol. What's the matter?"
[Well, something came up that I wanted to discuss with Ha-eun. What is Ha-eun doing right now?]
At Lee Gun-yeol's question about Ha-eun's current situation, Ju Jeong-yun turned her head for a moment and looked at a table located a little further away.
What Ju Jeong-yun saw was Ha-eun, who was picking up a delicious-looking piece of cake with a fork and interviewing Heo Ju-eun once again right across from her.
However, unlike the first interview, where not a single photo was taken.
This time, Heo Ju-eun even brought someone to take pictures, so the sound of the camera clicking echoed throughout the small cafe.
"She's in the middle of an interview. It looks like it will take another 30 minutes to finish. Is it urgent?"
[Ah, no. It's not that urgent. Then, I'll call you again later.]
With that, Lee Gun-yeol's call was cut off with a click.
Almost at the same time, another clicking sound was heard, so Ju Jeong-yun.
'…I never thought I would really become a star manager.'
She realized that she, a rookie manager with no management experience, had become the manager of a star like Ha-eun.
It felt even more new because there were inquiries related to Ha-eun from all over the place today in the form of missed calls.
'Should I…ask for a raise…?'
