Chapter 196

I should give JinSeo more care .

KangYoon shook his head at Jung MinAhs proposal .

If he said okay here, he would be a fool .

I appreciate it, but you dont have to . You should be tired too .

Its fine, Im still young . I have a lot of energy .

Unlike what KangYoon thought, Jung MinAh looked like she would tag along at all costs .

Although she had to have what she wanted, KangYoon could not relent this time .

Theres something I need to talk about in private with JinSeo, okay?

Tch .

Jung MinAh glanced at the two with dissatisfaction before smiling in understanding .

You should have told me that beforehand . Youre making me out to be an inconsiderate woman .

You are!

Min JinSeo couldnt say that out loud and looked at Jung MinAh with a weird gaze .

Unlike what she thought, though, KangYoon was speaking the opposite .

Not at all . Thanks for your consideration .

No, no . JinSeo, have a safe trip back . See you later . Ill go back then .

Jung MinAh bowed to KangYoon before disappearing quickly as though she felt sorry .

Sheesh, shes so energetic .

Sir .

Just as KangYoon muttered that while looking at Jung MinAh running, Min JinSeo stood next to him while voicing out seriously .

KangYoon spoke softly as though he did not sense how she felt .

Were finally alone .

Youre right .

Lets go quickly . Youll miss your flight .

KangYoon drove Min JinSeo to the airport .

Usually, a couple inside a car would have a good mood between them .

However, the time they had alone wasnt that good

Are you doing well in China?

Yes .

I heard you had a lot of delicious food .

Yes .

I heard youre shooting with Huang Sheng . How is he? Is he good?

Yes .

Min JinSeo only said the word yes to every one of KangYoons questions and kept looking outside the window .

She was obviously dissatisfied with him .

KangYoon seemed to have noticed that and asked carefully .

JinSeo .

Yes .

What is it? Did something displease you?

No .

Does he seriously not realize?

He had a smile on his face while he was with another woman

She didnt want to show him her jealous expression so she couldnt help but look away .

Seeing that, KangYoon noticed that something seemed to be up and tried to talk it over .

Youre going back even though its been less than 2 hours since youve arrived . It must be hard for you .

A little .

Im sorry . If I knew you were coming, I would have made some time .

Strictly speaking, this wasnt KangYoons fault . It was her fault for coming here without notice .

However, Min JinSeo flinched when KangYoon said that it was his own fault . However, she did not stop gazing outside the window thinking that it wasnt good enough yet .

Even though youre here, its not easy eating just with the two of us .

Even though I know I cant help it, I still feel unfortunate . Right now, your position is very sensitive to scandals . I still dont understand if I did the right thing back then considering the position youre in . I feel like I wasnt mature enough

KangYoon sighed deeply .

Then, Min JinSeo spoke quietly .

You promised me you wont regret it no matter what happened .

I did . But do you think I would feel good if something happened to you because of me?

I dont mind . No matter what happens .

Min JinSeo finally turned around to look at KangYoon .

I love my dream . However, I love you, the one who realized my dreams, just as much . Thats why I will not miss both of you . You promised me that you could do that for me .

I did .

Thats fine for me . I believe in you . Even if something bad happens, I will not regret it .

Min JinSeo put her hand on KangYoons hand that was on the gear stick .

Her eyes were filled with determination .

I shouldnt be shaken either .

KangYoon resolved to himself as he felt the warmth on his hand .

Goodbye~

In MoonHee waved her hands at her students that just finished cleaning up, and started working on administrative work in the cla.s.sroom .

Teachers have so much useless work to do .

They had their hands full with not only teaching, but they also had so much administrative work to do as well .

It wasnt easy just creating teaching materials, but most of their work hours were spent on administrative stuff .

In MoonHee sighed while creating doc.u.ments necessary .

Just when she was working, a knock sounded on the door .

Miss In . Come here .

When she lifted her head up at the presence, she saw the fearful vice-princ.i.p.al with the balding hair . For some reason, he had a vicious expression .

He showed In MoonHee his blackened fingers and spoke with a bitter expression .

Isnt the cla.s.sroom too dirty?

What? We just finished cleaning

Tsk, tsk . Its because children study in these environments that their health is getting worse . Clean up quickly .

What? Ah, yes .

That octopus head probably rubbed his fingers between the frames of the sliding doors .

Such an amount of dirt was natural under doors .

He was just picking on her at this point .

Haa

Sighing, In MoonHee took out some baby wipes and started wiping the door frames .

However, that wasnt the end of it .

The vice-princ.i.p.al entered the cla.s.sroom and clicked his tongue while looking at the notice boards on the back .

Why dont you try changing the notice boards to be a little brighter?

The notice boards? I just changed it out yesterday

It feels too childish . It feels more like kindergarten than an elementary school . Its messy too .

In MoonHee was flabbergasted .

She stayed at school until late at night yesterday cutting up colored papers into fruit shapes like apples and grapes .

The children were happy with it, but the vice-princ.i.p.al was saying something about it now .

Understood .

Also, come to my desk later .

Okay . Can I ask why?

I need to send a notice to the board of education so have a look through it and edit any errors .

The vice-princ.i.p.al was shaking In MoonHees mindset harder than usual .

***

Youre late .

Im sorry .

In MoonHee hurried inside the studio and felt very sorry for KangYoon .

As she wasnt able to come to the company at all for the past two days, she pushed herself to come today .

Although the weather was getting cold, sweat drops were forming on her forehead . She was running even when she had heels on .

It looks like the school is very busy recently .

I shouldnt be affecting this place because of my work . Im really sorry .

No . It cant be helped in situations like this .

KangYoon made In MoonHee sit down and gave her some water .

In MoonHee gulped down half of a 1 . 5L bottle and breathed out .

Thank you . Phew .

Okay . Shall we start after you calm down a little?

Yes .

KangYoon prepared for the practice as he always did .

He also did not forget to say that there was a lot to practice since she hadnt come to practice for the past couple of days .

In MoonHee soon began practicing .

My shaking heart

In MoonHee had her eyes closed and raised her voice inside the booth . The good twist in her voice spread around through the studio and the musical notes created light .

However

Oh

KangYoon s.h.i.+vered, feeling a sticky sensation . It was the sensation that was given off by grey light .

Although this was trot, In MoonHees singing was making a grey light .

Is she putting too much of her emotions in? Or is it another problem?

Was it because she missed out 2 days of practice or something?

She usually created white or silver light with her voice alone .

KangYoon wondered .

After the grey light continued for several songs in a row, KangYoon called her out of the booth .

MoonHee . I dont think youre in a very good condition today at all .

In MoonHee looked down .

Actually, she also felt that she couldnt sing as she wanted to .

KangYoon declared rest after seeing her dejected .

She collapsed onto the sofa with drooping shoulders .

Seeing her so powerless, KangYoon asked .

Did something bad happen at school?

No, its not that

You cant talk to me about it?

Its not like that . Its fine .

In MoonHee buried her head between her knees .

KangYoon sat down next to her and patted her back .

Looks like something happened .

. .

KangYoons hand was warm .

Actually, he was supposed to get angry right now . She would have nothing to retort if KangYoon scolded her for not focusing properly despite all of his investments in her .

However, he was consoling her and was trying to encourage her instead .

He was a drastic contrast to the picky vice-princ.i.p.al at school who used all sorts of excuses to make her work more .

Having to practice after all the work and stress at school . It should be hard . Youre doing well .

Im so sorry . I, Im not usually like this .

Its okay .

That word okay made her emotions burst out .

Her back started trembling and her knees started getting wet, while KangYoon took out some tissues .

After some time,

Im sorry . Ive shown you an embarra.s.sing side .

In MoonHee wiped her tears with some tissue and looked down .

Its fine . Lets just keep this between us .

Okay . The s...o...b..es were right .

Did they say something?

When KangYoon asked in curiosity, In MoonHee spoke .

HanYu-seonabe told me that youre a trustworthy president that lets the singers sing the songs they want while Jimin-s...o...b..e told me that youre her savior and a father figure to her . Also, Jaehoon-s...o...b..e said

Stop, stop . Youre giving me gooseb.u.mps .

Hahaha .

In MoonHee then smiled .

Anyway, I feel like I can understand what kind of person you are, president .

What kind of person am I, then?

Mm, a warm person?

KangYoon chuckled .

The feeling of warmth on top of feeling gooseb.u.mps was a little hard to describe .

Feeling that it was time to ask her the important question, KangYoon looked at In MoonHee in the eyes .

Okay . MoonHee .

Yes, president .

Then do you think you can trust me and follow me?

Perhaps he felt like this was the right time .

KangYoon hesitated a little before asking in a firm tone .

His words implied that he will make her a singer without fail if she continued to have trust in him .

She spoke calmly without hesitation .

Actually, I was hesitating . Its not that I hate being a teacher, but I couldnt say that I was happy being one either . Above all, theres stability thats incomparable to anything else . I thought that I would not be able to give that up . But now

Her voice was a little tense .

I think I can give up on that stability if Im with you, president . Ay, You only live once, right? Im giving up something really big here, you know? You can make me big, right?

KangYoon nodded firmly as well .

Of course . Ill make all the people in the world know your name .

Im going to record your words .

Go ahead . I take responsibility for my words .

In MoonHee grabbed KangYoons extended hand .

This was the moment In MoonHee officially joined World Entertainment after 3 months of probation .

***

Miss In . What does this mean?

After the morning faculty meeting, the vice-princ.i.p.al seemed flabbergasted by the letter of resignation that In MoonHee placed on his desk and blinked his eyes several times .

Its as you see . Its a letter of resignation .

A letter of resignation? Hah, Youre resigning?

Scratching his s.h.i.+ny head, the vice-princ.i.p.al snorted as though he found this absurd .

Miss In . I think youre doing this because you worked a little overtime for the past while, but you cant get through society like that, you know? Just because its a little difficult, you shouldnt give up a job that you painstakingly worked to get in .

Ive thought about this deeply for a long time, and Ive come to a decision after a long period of consideration .

Hey, Miss In .

The vice-princ.i.p.al was flabbergasted .

He couldnt understand what this bold lady was trying to do here .

Was she going to report him to the Ministry of Education? As he was aiming for the seat of the princ.i.p.al, he had a lot of things he should be worried about if people decided to look into him .

He felt s.h.i.+vers down his spine .

Is she testing me? Or is she trying to rebel? No way, that cant be true .

The vice-princ.i.p.al frowned .

He called her out during cla.s.ses to clean the flower garden, but that was because the flower garden was too dirty . The fact that he gave her some work after school hours was because she was the youngest one of the teachers .

Other than that, all of her work was because she was the youngest member!

Theres not a lot of time until the holidays, so trying to rebel wont look good on your resume .

I will resign after my current cla.s.s graduates . You dont need to be worried about that . Im not trying to rebel .

Miss In . Thats not the problem here!

In the end, the vice-princ.i.p.al became angry .

On the surface, he was worried that In MoonHee was resigning, but in actuality, he was worried that In MoonHee may report him for his actions to the Ministry of Education .

Its not a huge problem, it just might ruin your chances to become princ.i.p.al .

Miss In . What rudeness is this?

A person would become scary if someone else found out about ones true inner thoughts .

The vice-princ.i.p.al was no exception .

The loud noise attracted attention from the others, but In MoonHee calmly continued .

Pardon me, I was out of line . theres no way youd be such a shallow man that only picks on their subordinates for the sake of their own promotion, isnt that right, vice-princ.i.p.al?

Miss In .

When the vice-princ.i.p.al glared at In MoonHee, she put her hands on his desk and approached his face .

The after school studies expenses that you took from me . Im planning to take it to the ministry of education .

Wh, what? Wait, Miss In .

So dont touch me . V . i . c . e . - . p . r . i . n . c . i . p . a . l .

In MoonHee got away from his face and slammed down the letter of resignation with a smile on her face before returning to her seat .

Seeing her bold actions, the others around all widened their eyes in surprise .

Whats up with Miss In today?

I wouldnt know, maybe its that day?

What, women become catwoman or something on that day?

Her colleague teachers started whispering amongst themselves in curiosity, and the faculty office became filled with whispers .

Arent you going to your cla.s.ses!!

Yes!

Of course, those whispers instantly died down when the vice-princ.i.p.al shouted .

Uuuuu that b*tch! I thought she was a calm little sheep!

The faculty office became empty in an instant, but the vice-princ.i.p.al trembled and could not hide his frustration .

He was angry that he couldnt do anything to In MoonHee during the two months that the resignation letters were being processed .
