Episode 104
“Are you okay?”
“Sejin, let’s see how your ankle is.”
“….”
Lee Se-jin looked at her ankle with a pale face and eventually checked her condition by clenching her teeth and pulling up her pants.
My ankle was swollen.
‘…This isn’t good.’
Once the injury is confirmed.
“…!”
“It’s okay! Joe was a bit swollen… …If you go straight to the rice hospital… ….”
Seon Ah-hyun looked at her ankle and called out urgently. Since he majored in dance, he seemed to have some knowledge of ankle injuries.
“Yes Sejin, sit down for a moment. Let’s call the manager and go to the emergency room right away.”
“…okay.”
Lee Se-jin sat down on a chair in the corner of the choreography room with the stable support of Ryu Cheong-woo.
And shortly after, I left for the hospital with the manager who had been contacted.
“Go together….”
“no!! …Practice shouldn’t be delayed because of me. I’ll come.”
Lee Se-jin strongly refused to accompany them and left the choreography practice room with the support of two managers.
“I hope it’s not a big deal.”
“Iknow, right.”
“Because I didn’t pour too much…It will be fine.”
Since it was about the extent of a fall, everyone assumed that it was not a major injury and resumed practice.
However, Lee Se-jin came back after the choreography practice period had passed.
Besides, he wasn’t alone.
“Ah~ Is this our Sejin’s dorm? nice!”
“….”
“uh? I will come often.”
“…Because of my schedule, I am rarely at the dorm.”
“Yeah~? Then this daddy can come in and take care of it. You don’t have to say no.”
“…are you okay.”
Lee Se-jin was being supported by a middle-aged man, but looking at his face, he seemed to be in a father-son relationship.
However, the conversation smelled of convenience store part-timers and drunken truth.
‘…?’
“Oh, our Sejin are friends~ I, Sejin’s dad!”
“Ah, old man. hello.”
“hello!”
“The elder thinks I’m a big brother when I go out with Sejin.”
“Haha, it’s while you’re at it~”
Keun Se-jin cut it while receiving the conversation.
And Liu Cheng-wu smiled and continued.
“Thank you Sejin for taking me there. We now have to film the accommodation… .”
“Oh, I will sit there quietly! Take a picture~”
“….”
Liu Qingyu looked a little embarrassed.
I checked Lee Se-jin’s expression.
It wasn’t shame or shyness about showing off the scolded parents, but something like fatigue and shame that appeared and then quickly disappeared.
‘…Do you think it’s true?’
Big Sejin waved his hand at Lee Sejin’s father.
“Ah~ I have to formally invite you after Father. Is it okay to neglect the members’ parents like this? We will prepare and get back to you!”
“It’s because there’s no need for that~ I’m going to go after a while? It’s because it’s hard to support him.”
Having said that, there is only one way to get rid of it.
I hurriedly went into the room and returned with my things.
“My father must have worked hard, so go in and eat comfortably.”
It was a red ginseng set received as a holiday gift from the company.
“…! Aigoo~ I’m not the kind of person who gets this kind of thing. huh? That’s not what I was asking for.”
The middle-aged man quickly took the red ginseng while making an obvious sound. I nodded meekly.
“sure. You want to see the dorm where your son is staying. We’re glad and sorry that we couldn’t do that due to our schedule.”
“Yeah~ Huh? Is this your number 1 friend? The friend Sejin chose. oh that’s very cool Sejin-ah, just say thank you.”
“….”
“Ah, because of our filming, it’s time for the manager to come. Please return carefully.”
“…Um, yes, I’ll go~ I’ll be back soon.”
Lee Se-jin’s father glanced back at Lee Se-jin and slowly opened the door and left.
“….”
Sejin Lee lowered his head.
“He needs to sit down….”
When Seon Ah-hyun approached, Lee Se-jin reflexively waved her hand and swung it away.
“…!”
Fortunately, Seon Ah-hyun avoided his hand. And Lee Se-jin was startled.
“mi…Sorry!!”
“It’s okay!”
What a mess.
In any case, Lee Se-jin looked like he wanted to run away as he glanced at the room, but instead of running away as if recalling past experiences, he went to the sofa in the living room and sat down.
‘…It could be that it’s just that it’s hard to get to your room because your legs are uncomfortable.’
Because I was wearing a half cast.
In any case, thanks to this, an atmosphere of conversation was created.
“…Are you my father?”
“…uh.”
In the heavy atmosphere, Kim Rae-bin carefully raised his hand.
“By the way, where did the manager hyung go and did my parents come?”
“…It seemed like they were in a hurry to contact me because there was a problem.”
Originally, I would rather contact someone from another company, but the second manager who came in later was a newcomer, so it seems that he contacted his parents because he was not familiar with it.
And in a slightly heavy atmosphere, Cha Yoo-jin asked the most important thing.
“Are your ankles okay?”
“-! That’s right ankle!”
“How long do you think it will take to recover?”
“…It wasn’t a big deal. You just have to be careful about things.”
“Hmm, you fixed it properly for that kind of thing.”
“You intentionally overdo it. …Because I want to get better quickly.”
A few members raised their thumbs.
mostly minors
“brother….”
“cool!”
Only then did Lee Se-jin’s expression relax.
And he said with a faint smile as if he was a bit embarrassed.
“…I won’t do anything to disturb the group.”
“Ah~”
Lee Se-jin’s smile darkened slightly.
“…He won’t let his father come either. don’t worry.”
“….”
It was so ambiguous.
‘Family affairs are like that.’
It wasn’t the kind of thing you would ask for a cabo in a group like this.
“…? Wouldn’t it be okay if you came?”
…It’s just that I forgot that Kim Rae-bin was here. He didn’t seem to notice the strange atmosphere that had flowed earlier.
At Raebin Kim’s question, Sejin Lee became embarrassed and began to stutter like a sea cucumber vomiting his intestines.
“that…Since this lodging is spacious, you can hold out to live there.”
“Then tell the company and get permission….”
“…no! I have bad hand habits… …Anyway, he’s not a good person to be with.”
Lee Se-jin looked like he had no idea why he was talking like this.
And he quickly finished talking.
“…Anyway, I won’t let you come, so you don’t have to worry about it. That’s it.”
Then he quickly got up from the sofa and waddled into the room.
The remaining members in the living room looked back at each other blankly.
“….”
“Hmm what…Your ankle seems to be okay, shall we go to bed now?”
“For now, then.”
Everyone stood up from their seats, confused by the big Sejin’s tidying up.
“Eugene, stop watching Netflix and go to sleep.”
“no, I do not want….”
Cha Yoo-jin, who was playing Netplus in the living room, turned off the TV depressed at Ryu Cheong-wu’s words and trudged into the room.
“…hmm.”
it’s netplus It reminded me of Lee Se-jin crying with her head on the bed not too long ago.
‘That’s not Netplus… Could it be because of my father?’
…I hope this isn’t an issue at all.
Not only was it difficult to solve, but I didn’t know what would happen to Lee Se-jin’s papery mentality.
I went to my room with a bad feeling.
Then, Lee Se-jin, who was struggling to put her half-cast leg on top of the hamster body pillow, met her eyes.
“….”
“….”
Lee Se-jin seemed embarrassed and averted his gaze.
‘Let’s pretend we didn’t see it.’
I went to bed and sat down pretending to be looking at my smartphone.
Instead, Lee Se-jin started talking.
“…I’m sorry. Take my red ginseng.”
Oh, that was it. I nodded.
“yes. I will eat well.”
“okay.”
Just as the room was about to fall into peaceful silence, Lee Se-jin, who was checking something rustling, hurriedly continued.
“But I opened it and ate one or two. I’ll buy you a new one, so take that.”
“…? it’s okay. I just barely eat it. what.”
“…phew.”
I heard Lee Se-jin let out a long sigh. It sounded more like embarrassment or futility than relief.
Sejin Lee muttered as he watched his cast press down on the hamster.
“Why continue…It becomes a burden.”
“There was nothing in particular like that.”
“…Anyway, I’ll come to my senses this time, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
“…yes.”
Turning his head, Lee Se-jin was looking at his smartphone. Both eyes seemed to burn with great will.
Do you even watch the choreography video?
‘…What passion is good.’
It’s good that you are motivated. Just don’t ask for it from me.
I turned off my smartphone and put on earplugs.
The last thing I checked was Sejin Lee, who was looking into his smartphone with a serious face.
Somehow, the scene of grabbing the smartphone and dragging it overlapped.
‘…Could it be that he was trying to solve his father’s problem?’
It is often seen on internet bulletin boards looking for cider, but it did not seem that family-related problems could be solved so easily in reality.
‘what…It’s even funnier for me to say that I’ve become myself.’
Isn’t it strange that someone without family gives advice? I just decided to go to sleep or sleep.
However, Lee Se-jin seemed to be looking at his smartphone for quite some time this time as well.
* * *
A few days later, I was on my way back from the last meeting with the collaboration game < 127 Section >.
I heard that the game production team was so excited when they saw the trailer that they created their own project.
As a result…I got this result.
“Wow, you modified it to resemble us.”
“This is me!”
“I have a mole on my cheek….”
Some of the external characteristics of the testa members were lightly reflected in the appearance of the early characters.
-No, we didn’t fix everything, we just tweaked a little in the materials we had~
-How is it? Reminds me of the trailer!! Especially Lee Se-jin’s rimless glasses! It was really unanimous that I went straight into fixing it!
…Well, it was mostly like this.
By the way, I’m sorry that my character has been changed to inner pairs of double eyelids… I don’t know the big difference.
“Huh~ It’s fun and hard.”
“you can do it!”
“Let’s do our best!”
It was just a few days after the release of the music video. The schedule got busier, but the ‘feeling of doing well’ was definitely addictive despite the pouring work.
Thanks to that, all of Testa’s faces were happy. And this included Lee Se-jin.
Lee Se-jin, who had a somewhat relieved face, exchanged conversations with Ryu Cheong-wu with a rather comfortable face.
He seems to be recovering well from his leg injury, and I thought it would be nice to cruise until the comeback, but… ….
The incident happened on the way out of the company.
“Lee Se-jin!! Are you here?!”
“…!”
A middle-aged man with a familiar face was sitting in front of the lobby at the back door of the company and jumped up after seeing Lee Se-jin.
Of course, it was Lee Se-jin’s father.
Lee Se-jin’s face turned blue.
‘X feet.’
Fortunately, two managers immediately blocked it.
“Father, you can’t do this!”
“Sleep, calm down!”
“Let go! Things these days are fucking rude! uh! They persecute people!!”
Lee Se-jin’s father hesitated when he was blocked by the bulky manager, but was dragged away pointing his finger to the end.
“You don’t let go?
“….”
The noisy lobby soon became quiet as Lee Se-jin’s father was dragged away.
But after a while, something even more disturbing happened.
