37 - Keeping promises

------------------------------

Jung Mina couldn't tell if the situation was a dream or a living situation. Kang Yoon showed up at the moment you were about to give up the singer's path! This whole thing was magical.

“Mister, mister...”

Kang Yun's arms were warmer than anyone else. Since the debut, I have never shown weakness to anyone. But the moment I held him in my arms, all emotions exploded.

“Him.”

Kang Yoon calmly encouraged her back to understand Jung Mina's heart.

As the sun set and the day began to get completely dark, Jung Mina left Kang Yun's arms.

“… I'm sorry. Just…”

Jung Mina lowers her head as she steals the tears that keep flowing. Kang Yoon took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears.

“I've been crying a lot. ”

“... Not much. ”

Jung Mina grumbled a little because she was shy. I wouldn't have cried like this if it wasn't for Kang Yoon.

When she calmed down, Kang Yun got in the car together. Unlike Korea, the United States was not safe to walk at night.

“Where are we going? ”

“Somewhere nice. ”

“Are we on a date? ”

“Maybe?”

Jung Mina was excited by Kang Yun's words. I was already excited about where Kang Yun would take me.

The car didn't travel very far. Where Kang Yun went was a rare, 24-hour cafe in the United States. It was a nice place not far from MG entertainment.

I parked in the parking lot, and the two of them were seated on one side of the cafe. A faint light flashed upon the two of you.

“I still can't believe it. You really are Lee Kang-yoon, aren't you? ”

Jung Mina pinched her arm to see if it was a dream. Of course, it hurt. After seeing this from Jung Mina, who was compassionate and strong, Kang Yun was heartbroken.

“Yes, and don't do it, because it's not a dream. ”

“Yes.”

Jung Mina held out her tongue to see if she was embarrassed.

However, I felt a little calm in my heart, starting to calm down. I felt like I was going through a surprise event. When she calmed down, she calmly brought the story to Kang Yun.

“I heard you were in Korea. I heard you set up a company...”

“Yes, it's a small company called World Entertainment. ”

“I was listening to your news a little. I heard that Jae-hoon went to World Entertainment. There must have been a big gap for 4 years... After going through such a rough time and coming back to the flexible world. It's amazing.”

“Kim Jae-hoon has been practicing hard during the free period. So no big deal. I'm just giving you a chance. ”

Kim Jae-hoon's story was also a big topic among singers. Ethiopia was no different.

Jung Mina asked Kang Yoon questions. I heard news about World Entertainment briefly, but I didn't feel like hearing it from myself. Kang Yoon's company story was very interesting. Especially when she heard the story of Jay Han who had survived the fall crisis and Kim Jae-hoon who had now come to a new album, she lit up her eyes.

Kang Yoon smiled faintly, looking at Jung Mina's sparkling eyes. She didn't seem very different from her training days. Ethios, the most self-absorbed Jung Mina, was special to him as well.

“... I didn't know you could compose. ”

“Hee Yun writes songs. I'm a choreographer. By the way, I heard Reese met Hee Yun. ”

“We were surprised. I heard you met Joo. From what I heard, Hee Yun's sister is tall and pretty...”

“Hahaha.”

Kang Yoon only laughed at the compliment of his brother. Who would be offended by a compliment from their brother?

Jung Mina continued, putting down the half-empty cup of coffee.

“I heard you gave the song to Diane, too. ”

“That's right."

Jung Mina took a breath for a moment. After a sip of coffee, she continued to tell the story.

“You're a pro, so it's natural to work with diamonds. But I was disappointed. Maybe he forgot about us. I know it's a bad idea… but I also thought I'd give a song to a rival. But a songwriter is supposed to catch a good quest when it comes to it.

I'm disappointed that it's a diamond... Hah. It's complicated. I don't think he's our guy anymore... ”

Kang Yoon listened to her silently.

‘It can't be more than this, right? ’

If you have a professional conscience, you should never stay at a level that does not allow you to play as a rival. Kang Yoon thought that Jung Mina wouldn't. It was never a mistake to work on a diet. It was an opportunity for professionals to catch it. If Jung Mina thought so briefly, Kang Yoon would be greatly disappointed.

Fortunately, Jung Mina's words did not end there.

“But I know it's a childish idea. If you think differently, you and Hee Yun are capable enough to ask Diane for a song. They're also the best idols in Korea, and you can't ask a crazy composer for a song. I met a good song and a good singer. I felt silly thinking about it. He did his best in his position, but he thought it was sad...”

Kang Yoon smiled faintly. His heart was filled with satisfaction. Jung Mina was not just an immature girl at her debut. He was a mentally mature leader of Ethiopia.

Kang Yoon ordered another cup of coffee and said.

“… you've definitely grown. ”

“Really? I think it's true to hear you say that. Heehee.”

Jung Mina lightly shoulder danced to see if she was feeling better. It felt like a child who had not been acknowledged for a long time was acknowledged by his parents.

When her expression was clear, Kang Yun turned to talk.

“How are the others? ”

“Are you talking about starring or Ali? And so is Reese.”

Jung Mina took a long breath in Kang Yun's question. Kang Yun could guess the answer from that sigh.

“Well, it must be strange for you to be in such a situation. ”

“To be honest... yes. I'm not doing well. ”

Jung Mina shakes her head. Kang Yoon continued to ask.

“How are you practicing? ”

“Well... I'll just be honest with you. ”

It was a hundred times better for Kang Yoon to be honest. Jung Mina knew that it didn't work if she said something stupid. Jung Mina thought for a moment and released the stories about Ethiopia.

“She hasn't been in practice in over a month. Sam-soon got hooked on the Internet because of stress, and Ali keeps eating. And I don't exercise. Reese... got hooked on a shopping spree... and Han Yoo is exercising to take care of herself, but she doesn't practice. Just exercise...”

“Phew.”

Kang Yoon closed his eyes tightly. When I heard her story, I had no idea how MG entertainment managed these kids. I'm boiling inside.

“Is that why you're the only one practicing? ”

“..... ”

It was a silence of positivity.

Kang Yoon woke up for a moment, saying his head was hurting. I remembered a cigarette that didn't burn well. He enters the booth set in the cafe and lights a cigarette.

‘Just so you know, it won't be easy. ’

Looking at the scattered cigarette smoke, Kang Yoon thought. Why did they come all the way to America for expensive airplanes? It was to evaluate Ethiopia and consider scouts. However, after hearing Jung Mina's words, things didn't seem to be easier than I thought.

‘You'll have to meet him in person to find out. ’

It was absurd to judge without looking. Kang Yoon decided to leave Booth after meeting everyone.

When I came back, Jung Mina, who was emptying a new cup of coffee, was staring out the window dazed.

“Phew, the smell of cigarettes. ”

“Haha...”

Jung Mina blocked her nose with her fingers. The smell of van cigarettes in the booth stimulates her sense of smell.

Kang Yoon reminded me of an old thought.

“When we first met, you asked me to lend you a light. ”

“When did I? ”

Black history flowed from Kang Yun's mouth. Jung Mina shook her hand and denied it. However, Kang Yoon continued to talk with a smile.

“I can't just say 'Sir, give me a light' in uniform...”

“Stop, stop!! ”

Jung Mina eventually shut Kang Yun up. Kang Yun laughed at the reaction.

Kang Yoon said to Jung Mina who had a red face because she was shy.

“But now that you smell of cigarettes, you sure know how to put a cigarette in your mouth. ”

“Of course. I can't even sing fast enough, and I can't answer if I smoke. Not only me, but the other kids know how to smoke. ”

At that, I saw some hope. When I was a trainee, one of the things Kang Yoon emphasized so much was not smoking. Even though he understood it, Ethios was keeping his word. It was about keeping the basics.

“I want to meet everyone. Can you make room for me? ”

“It's not that hard. If you called, everyone will come out. Are you okay for tomorrow?”

“Yes. Shall I see you tomorrow afternoon? ”

Kang Yoon and Jung-min decided to break their promise.

.

.

.

The next day.

Kang Yun was waiting for them at a cafe near the Ethiopian house that Jung Mina told me about.

‘10 minutes left. ’

In a short time, Kang Yoon opened the internet on his cell phone.

- Jae-hoon Kim, how long will the music chart last?

- Jae-hoon Kim, Emperor of Sound Gardens

- Kim Jae-hoon's mini-album. Six houses, two weeks on the summit.

Even though the slow speed of the internet exploded, I smiled at the mouth after seeing the articles about Jae-hoon Kim. By driving this momentum, Jae-hoon Kim will be carrying out a busy schedule. Everything was going well.

It was when Kang Yun was smiling at the internet article. The door of the cafe opened, and six Asian women came in succession. They looked around and found Gangyun.

“There he is!! ”

“Where? Huh?! ”

The women rushed to Kang Yoon's table, where they couldn't feel their phones.

“Boss!! ”

And everyone shouted in one voice. When Kang Yun suddenly heard this, he looked up and all of Ethios was looking at him.

“Girls, it's been a long time. ”

“Hello? I'm Ethios!! ”

Six Ethiopians shouted in one voice. Kang Yoon became dazed for a moment.

“Huh, these guys...”

“Everyone's dying to see you again. ”

Jung Mina said as the representative. Ethios, who doesn't even say hello, made Kang Yun smile. Kang Yoon shared the aftermath, holding hands with everyone.

After ordering coffee, drinks, and refreshments, a crazy conversation began. Like Mo, Ethios was constantly talking about whether he was excited. Even the quiet Seo Han-u dessert spat so much out of my mouth. I had a lot to say after meeting Kang Yun like a fool.

Kang Yoon listened quietly to Ethiopian Korean stories and American stories. There were conflicting conversations with Jung Mina, and there were many stories that were not.

For a long time, everyone who answered back to their stories began to tell what to do. It was Kang Yoon who first brought out the topic.

“I don't know what you're going to think when you talk about this. I'm here to talk to Ethios about a contract. ”

At Kang Yun's words, Ethiopia's eyes widened. I've never heard anyone say this before. not only from MG entertainment, but also from other large and medium-sized companies. But Kang Yoon, who followed me more than anyone else, came to America and brought up the story. The Ethiopian woman's eyes tremble.

He who opened his mouth first was a week.

“You were the president of a company called World Entertainment, right? Where's Jae-hoon Kim? ”

“That's right."

“We have no information about World Entertainment. Who's the singer? ”

“There's a band called Kim Jae-hoon and White Moonlight playing. The trainee has a child named Kim Ji-min. And the composer Ron Muse is in play. ”

“Then you can think of three singers. ”

When the word contract came out, the week was thoroughly determined from the size of the company. Listening to their conversations, other members began to think about the conditions in their heads. The contract was a different matter than trusting Kang Yoon personally.

Then Lee Sam-soon asked.

“May I ask... what are the terms of the contract? ”

Her tone was a little cautious. It was the most sensitive story. The Ethiopian members were eager to think that money would be a problem.

However, Kang Yun's story was a completely different story.

“Before next summer, I'll have your name on the top of the K-POP chart. These are my terms. ”

“Eeee?! ”

All of Ethios shouted in one voice. Everyone in the cafe noticed them, but they didn't care about anything else but Kang Yoon.

Seo Han Yoo, who was thorough, asked.

“Do you have a good plan? ”

“I have an idea, but I can't tell you everything. Just say one thing...”

Kang Yoon pointed fingers at Jung Mina.

“Mina, don't you want to do a solo? ”

“Yes? Solo?! ”

Solo debut.

Kang Yoon's words made Jung Mina's heart tremble.
