Park Jaeyoung asked if I could spare so ti.
All I had was a short phone call with him last ti. It didn't feel good to be asked this question by a stranger.
I asked Park Jaeyoung back in a lower voice than usual.
"What is it for?"
An urgent excuse ca from the other side as if he had noticed the change in my voice.
I know it's rude to call and ask this out of the blue. Its just Jiwoon asked so persistently.
Yoon Jiwoon?
Following the last call, the na [Yoon Jiwoon] was ntioned once again.
I told you last ti that Jiwoon wanted to et your daughter, do you rember? Since then, he has been quiet for a while, but he suddenly contacted yesterday and asked to ask you again.
"Hmm"
Park Jaeyoung continued to explain in a very cautious manner.
He has never been like that. This ti, due to certain issues.. Thats why Im contacting you like this even though I know this is uncultured. Could you please spare so ti?
"So, Yoon Jiwoon wants to et my daughter, right?
Yes, yes, that's right. Of course, it doesn't matter if Father cos along. You can choose the ti and the place of your convenience. Jiwoon said he would adjust all the schedules and co et you.
As he asked as if pleading, the feeling of being a little upset at first got quickly relieved. Rather, I felt a little pity.
And on the other hand, I wondered why he wanted to et Speranza so badly.
I glanced toward Speranza.
Speranza was busy playing with Yerin. I quietly looked at the figure and organized my thoughts.
Uh
Speranza probably would also want to et Yoon Jiwoon. Listening to the words of Park Jaeyoung, I don't think it's so kind of prank or scam.
Would it be better to et him?
When I didn't open my mouth for a while, an anxious voice ca from the other side of the phone.
Hello? You didn't hang up, right?
"Yes, I'm listening. I'm sorry, I've been thinking for a while.
If you're busy, should I call you back later?
"No, its fine. I happened to be on vacation from today.
Park Jaeyoung's voice beca slightly brighter as soon as he heard the word vacation.
Oh! Is that so?
"I think today's schedule will be empty from now on. Is it okay if its today?
Oh, you an today?
"Will it be hard?"
Please wait a mont. I'll check it out in a minute.
After asking to wait a little bit, there was a brief silence on the phone, though I felt the noise of busily moving.
And after a while, Park Jaeyoung's voice was heard, brimming with excitent.
It's possible!
At the sudden eting with Yoon Jiwoon, I put off other plans for a while.
First, I tried to listen to Speranza's opinion. If she didn't want to, I was planning to refuse imdiately.
So, I roughly explained the situation and asked what she wanted to do.
"Speranza, Yoon Jiwoon wants to et you. What do you think? Do you want to go see Yoon Jiwoon?"
The response to the question was not much different from my expectation.
"Yoon Jiwoon?! I want to, I want to!"
As soon as the na Yoon Jiwoon ca out, Speranzas eyes sparkled. The fox girls tail hidden under the clothes also shook to the point where it made a whizzing sound.
"Sihy, isn't Yoon Jiwoon a celebrity who appears on TV often?"
"Yes, mom. He seems to have gotten to know about Speranza from YouTube videos. I got a call last ti saying he really wanted to et Speranza.
My mother opened her mouth slightly and burst into admiration.
"That person saw Speranza's video. That's amazing. Then Speranza will also beco very famous and beco a celebrity, right?
I smiled lightly and shook my head.
"No. Its not that kind of grand eting. I guess he just wants to et Speranza because he liked her singing skills."
It is true that a contract proposal ca from another agency, not from Yoon Jiwoons, but I had no intention of sending Speranza to that side.
Now, I just wanted her to enjoy singing without thinking about other things.
"Mom, do you want to co with ? He said that it doesn't matter how many people I bring as long as they are Speranzas guardians."
"I'm fine. I'll go ho with Cheese and Akum. You guys go and et the celebrity guy."
"Are you okay? I think we'll co back after dinner because of the atmosphere."
"Im fine. This is not the only day of your vacation. Don't worry and go.
My mother smiled and answered with confidence. I sent a look of sorry and gratitude for her consideration.
Soon after, I contacted Park Jaeyoung and decided on the ti and place of the eting, after which, I took my mother, Akum, and Cheese ho.
When I was checking my mother's way up to the house, Park Jaeyoung called again.
Where are you right now? I'll co and pick you up in a minute.
"What? You don't have to do that.
The eting place is also a bit complicated, so it would be easier for to take you there.
"Isn't it too much trouble for you"
Haha! It's really okay. If you feel uncomfortable telling your ho address, please let know a convenient place to co.
I tried to say no at first, but upon Park Jaeyoungs continuous persuasion, I decided to et at a place near our house.
"Is it the person who contacted you earlier?"
"Yes. He'll co by himself and pick us up.
"Oh! I guess we should have dinner there. Im sure Speranza will have a great ti.
"Uh, yes By the way.
?
"Why are you here?"
I asked while looking at Yerin, who didnt leave. She responded with a rather imposing attitude.
"Of course, because I'm coming with you guys!"
"Only Speranza and Speranza's guardians were invited."
"I I'm coming on behalf of your mother. And I must attend as a representative of the subscribers. I subscribed to the [Demon Girls] channel when the subscribers were less than a thousand.
As I was dumbstruck by Yerin's ridiculous tactics, she clung to Speranza with a depressed expression on her face.
"Speranza, your dad is about to kick this sister out. Pleaseee stop him."
"Un."
Speranza, who was kind-hearted, comforted Yerin and asked .
"Papa, can Sister Yerin also co with us?"
"Well"
Yerin, who looked triumphant behind Speranza, was annoying, but I couldn't force her out in this situation.
With a bitter smile, I allowed Yerin to co.
"Okay, you can co with us."
"Yay! Speranza is the only one who cares about . I'll give you a kiss. Chuu! Chuu!"
"Hehehehe! It's itchy."
Thus, I, Speranza, and Yerin headed to the promised place.
By the ti we got to the main road, the sun was setting rapidly. The warm weather quickly turned chilly. Fortunately, a car stopped in front of us before it got cold in earnest.
A man in his 30s shouted at us as he got off from the driver's seat.
"Demon Girl right?
"Park Jaeyoung?"
"Haha! Yes, that's right. Let's do the detailed introduction on our way. Get on.
Park Jaeyoung smiled brightly and opened the door to the back seat.
After checking that we were getting into the car, he too quickly got into the driver's seat.
Park Jaeyoung gently started the car and introduced himself once again.
"I'm Park Jaeyoung, from the PR team of Matel Entertainnt agency. I'm so happy to et you like this."
"I'm Lim Sihyeon. And this is my daughter Speranza."
"Hello."
Speranza bowed her head with a slightly awkward greeting.
"Haha, your na is really pretty, too."
Park Jaeyoung glanced at Speranza in the rear-view mirror and smiled brightly.
"And this is.
"Hello, I'm Seo Yerin."
Yerin interrupted and introduced herself in a bright voice. Park Jaeyoung, who once again glanced at the rearview mirror, carefully opened his mouth.
"Maybe that person is your.
"Shes a close acquaintance who lives next door. I just brought her because shes close to Speranza."
I quickly cleared up my relationship with Yerin before there was any misunderstanding. Although Park Jaeyoung made a strange expression for a while, he nodded without making any comnts.
While roughly greeting each other, the vehicle quickly ran off the road. Park Jaeyoung murmured while looking at the increasingly congested road.
"I'm glad I was able to leave the company early. If it was a little late, it would have been hard to pick you up at this rush hour."
"I'm sorry to make you do all this when you're busy."
"No, no! I'm on my way out after finishing my work. Besides, I'm used to this. In the past, when I worked as Jiwoon's manager I used to drive a lot.
"Oh, I see.
Speranza, who was quietly listening to the conversation on my lap, suddenly asked a question.
"Papa, what's a manager?"
"Manager? Um its.
As I was struggling to explain the job of a manager, Park Jaeyoung explained on my behalf.
"Managers are people who help celebrities focus on their activities. We take care of them, manage their schedule, and sotis nag them when theyre lazy."
After hearing Park Jaeyoung's explanation, Speranza tilted her head for a while, looked up at , and asked again.
"Then is Papa Boss Uncle's manager? You always take care of him and nag him.
"Uh Yes, that's right."
I couldn't find anything to refute, so I nodded a little bitterly.
Speranza smiled broadly as if she was happy that she got it right.
anwhile, Park Jaeyoung, who was glancing in the rearview mirror, burst into admiration when he saw Speranza's smile.
"Wow. I think your daughter is even more amazing in person. Its unprecedented to the one from the video.
Hearing his admiration, Yerin asked him with interest.
"Is Speranza that good?"
"Of course. I'm on the public relations team now, but if I was on the casting team, I would have pushed for the contract right away. It's stupid not to recognize this kind of talent."
"I knew it. Our Speranza is always amazing."
Park Jaeyoung explained with excitent, and Yerin responded with a happy expression. I just listened to the conversation between the two with an awkward expression.
While the two were talking about Speranza's talent. The car pulled out of the main road and entered a winding alleyway.
"We're almost there. Hes probably waiting at the cafe over there."
