Jian pressed the send button on the text message and felt guilty towards Danwoo, her lips twisted.
“Our beast-like CEO said he only waits for the weekend.”
Although spending the weekend with the unrelenting beast wasn’t bad, there was something to discuss, and Genesis called, unavoidable.
After the funeral for Dad and a few weekends passed, the temperature of the sunlight on the skin had changed.
During that time, she visited the countryside twice with her family.
And Genesis mentioned that on days without a schedule, she goes to the countryside like having a drink with her mom, Eunji.
As Jian entered her house after work, Genesis, who asked for the password, welcomed her.
Wearing familiar pajamas and a T-shirt, she looked like she had found and put on clothes like at her own house.
A strange current of glances passed between Jian and Genesis as they entered the living room.
‘What’s going on with Mom?’ When Jian thought briefly, Genesis also smiled with a strange expression.
“Why do you look at people like that?”
Jian asked as if she had caught someone revealing a hidden secret.
It was understandable, as the fact that Danwoo frequented her house touched an unexpectedly ethical conscience.
Although the times had changed, there was undoubtedly a deep Confucian sentiment embedded in people’s hearts.
“There were two toothbrushes in the bathroom. And there were a few other things that caught my eye.”
Jian once thought that Genesis was an elegant princess who didn’t open her eyes thinly and never looked into her younger sister’s heart.
But now, Jian wondered if Genesis was not a blind princess who never did such things. Genesis, sitting on the edge of the bed, looked at Jian with a determined gaze to uncover the truth.
“I have someone I’m dating. Got it?”
“I do. Who? Is it CEO Udanwoo?”
“……. ”
“That’s it?”
Instead of answering, Jian looked into the air and went into the kitchen. As Genesis followed her, looking like she wanted to hear a different story, explaining from their first meeting was a story that would take three days and four nights.
It was much better not to bring it up.
When Jian took out the rice cooker to cook rice, Genesis objected.
“After work, what’s with the meal? I ordered delivery. It will be here soon.”
“Huh? Did my sister order it herself?”
“Yeah. If I learn one, I wake up a hundred. Do you hear the genius sound from anyone?”
“Ugh! I’m unlucky.”
Whether it meant admitting or denying, Genesis, who bowed her head without knowing, pulled Jian to the dining table.
Then she began to pour out her innermost thoughts.
“I told you I have a friend who goes to an academy, right?”
“Yes. There’s even a building named after her. Why?”
“Let me meet that friend.”
Instead of asking ‘Why?’ Jian narrowed her eyes instead.
Genesis, who understood the doubt in Jian’s expression, explained her plan.
“I’m planning to open a music academy under my name.”
“You’re not retired? It’s a few years away even if you do.”
“I need to continue my activities for a few more years. Instead, I plan to open a business this year, and I’ll leave the director position to my mom. While at it, I want to try overseas performances without my mom.”
“Are you trying to detach from the mom who made you into Jenice?”
“No.”
Even though she said no, Genesis, who felt embarrassed inside, acted as if nothing happened.
Handling her mom’s overprotection alone wasn’t a problem for Jenice. However, people around her suddenly felt uncomfortable with Eunji’s excessive protection.
There was a time when Eunji, for trivial matters, gathered people around me, including Manager Cha.
If it weren’t for Jaeyoon, I would have thought that Eunji’s overprotection was natural.
From performances and album releases to communication with people around her, Eunji used to decide everything on my behalf.
But now, at Jaeyoon’s suggestion, she had been attending meetings herself and making decisions about her work for the past few years.
Suddenly, Jenice’s voice, filled with regret, became emotional.
“How did Dad understand our hearts?”
“That’s because he’s Dad. I miss Dad.”
“Mom also loses energy quickly without Dad. We’re really women who can’t live without Dad.”
“…”
“So, what I mean is.”
After stimulating the tear glands to their fullest, why say, ‘So’?
Jian slyly leaned back, squinting her eyes, looking at Jenice.
“While you’re on an overseas tour.”
Jian quickly interrupted Jenice’s words.
“If you’re going to say, ‘Come to the academy and help Mom,’ don’t bother. Mom will tell me everything. It will be on your side anyway.”
“It’s not that. Just come meet Mom once a week without me.”
“If you’re going to say that, buy me a digestive medicine. Seriously, aren’t you doing too much? You even took Dad away.”
“I have something this year too. …Then how about once every two weeks?”
“Once a month.”
Jian accepted the proposal, but still looked at Jenice with suspicion.
