Music Genius Overnight! Episode 153

“Seriously, this guy can’t tell what he should be saying to his own sister!”

Heejung glared at her brother with a mix of disgust and contempt. Youngchan, embarrassed, could only silently seek help from his manager.

“…It’s real. Well, I guess it’s not that surprising?”

*It’s only been a month since she told him to date, and he’s already seeing eight people.* It was surprising, but Heejung wasn’t actually that shocked.

Youngchan himself didn’t realize it, but back in his school days, he was quite popular around the neighborhood.

He’s been worn down by part-time jobs and housework, but his original looks were on a different level from ordinary people. Add to that his unique, mature vibe, and there were more girls around him who liked him than he thought.

“This kid is Youngchan *oppa’s* [term for older brother used by females in Korean] sister. She definitely looks like him. You’re really cute. Don’t tell your brother I gave this to you, and share it with him. Okay?”

“Take this chocolate. Why? It’s Valentine’s Day. Share it with your brother.”

“Me too, take mine too!”

Thanks to this, Heejung never had to whine for snacks when she was little. She filled her belly with chocolates given to her by the girls who liked Youngchan from afar.

Of course, this golden age ended when Youngchan went to work in another area to earn money.

In his school days, the school uniform provided some defense, but after becoming an adult, he stopped dressing up at all, so his appearance deteriorated a lot.

Plus, he started drinking a lot and gradually gained weight, so she couldn’t remember her brother from the old days anymore.

Anyway, was it because of that past?

When she heard that her brother was going to be a celebrity, she wasn’t as surprised as she thought she would be. Rather, she wondered why she hadn’t thought of him becoming a celebrity, because her brother was so popular back in school.

Her brother was belatedly hitting his prime, so it wasn’t that surprising that he was seeing eight women.

However, when she found out who they were, she couldn’t help but gape.

Every single one of them was a star.

Jamie, a female singer who was making a name for herself in the United States and Europe, was one thing, but Jiwon from the G1 band, who had already topped the Billboard Hot 100 several times, was a surprisingly big name.

And that’s not all.

Heejung even suspected that this guy was talking nonsense when she heard that Lee Naeun and Kang Ayoung, who were vying for the top spot as the most popular female celebrities in Korea, were also among them.

Furthermore, Kim Ayoung of Blue Rose, who was always vying for the top spot as the most beautiful woman in the world, Lara Land’s Sera, who was belatedly gaining worldwide recognition, and Kim Yuji, the leader of New Daisy, went without saying.

“…He’s really diligent. It’s not easy to meet so many people in such a short amount of time.”

“I’m asking for your help now because I’m worried the situation will get worse.”

What is ‘seeing someone’? Isn’t it a period of confirming unknown feelings before starting a relationship?

That means that once you get past this stage, you have to treat the other person more seriously, so it’s important to confirm each other’s feelings beforehand.

But Youngchan’s meaning of ‘worried it will get worse’ wasn’t that.

“…I think the number of people I’m seeing is going to increase.”

“*Oppa*!”

“No, it’s not like I want it to happen.”

“…That’s even worse!”

After that, Heejung and Youngchan bickered and talked, and only then did Heejung find out what Youngchan wanted her to help him with.

“So, you’re asking me to pick one of these people to date?”

“Well… it’s similar.”

“Hmm. I knew he wasn’t normal, but I didn’t know it was this bad.”

But on the other hand, she thought that’s what made him her brother.

He didn’t enjoy a proper adolescence due to his poor family situation, and he didn’t have himself in his youth, so he must be thinking such foolish things.

“Okay. I’ll sacrifice myself for you.”

So, she started meeting the candidates who might become her future sister-in-law on behalf of her brother.

Her position as a promising planning employee within the company was a good place to easily find out the reputations of the celebrities in the company.

Plus, she could use the executives in the company, including the incredibly reliable head of the department, so she actually met some of them.

And the women her brother was seeing that she met were all very unique. But since celebrities can’t do this job unless they have a strong personality, it wasn’t a bad thing.

However, apart from having strong personalities, they all had one thing in common.

“They’re nice. They’re all so nice!”

There may be some differences, but what is certain is that they are all rare, kind-hearted people in the dog-eat-dog world of the entertainment industry.

At the same time, they were all so pretty that she could see why they were superstars, so Heejung could only think that they were all unrealistic.

“Why do these people like my brother?”

Of course, from an objective point of view, it wasn’t hard to like her brother, Youngchan.

Youngchan was always voted the sexiest man in the world, surpassing the sexiest man of all time.

It wasn’t just his looks that were outstanding.

As a musician, he was building an overwhelming career that was beyond comparison, and as an actor, he was rising to the same level.

It was no exaggeration to say that countless actors were either feeling self-conscious or endlessly praising Youngchan after seeing ‘Jin’ in ‘King of Arrogance’.

Among those who praised him was ‘John’, who is called the god of acting, and he was particularly surprised because he had not heard any information about ‘King of Arrogance’ until the premiere.

“‘Jin’ is a role that no one else can play. The fact that he played this role is enough for him to receive praise from me.”

Because he was an arrogant person, his remarks became a hot topic for a while.

Anyway, he was the best in terms of looks and ability, and his assets were known to be unmatched in Korea.

Considering that there are two more global companies that have not yet been listed on the stock exchange, he was sure to be ranked quite high in the world’s rich list.

Anyway, Youngchan is a person who receives such reviews, so contrary to Heejung’s thoughts, from an external point of view, people would be surprised that they were seeing Youngchan.

Numerous hot actors and models from Korea and abroad, as well as heiresses from wealthy families, were showing interest in him.

In that respect, Youngchan did a really good job asking his sister for help.

Perhaps because of her brother’s influence, she was a self-made person, so she knew what her brother really needed rather than having a materialistic perspective.

That’s why she grumbled, ‘They’re all too good for him! Why are these kind and pretty people!’, and carefully examined them with her own standards, and then organized her thoughts for her brother after filtering them out.

“I’m going to get as much as I can for all this hard work!”

“…Okay. I’m sorry. Should I buy you a car or something?”

“I don’t need it. It’s already too much to drive the one I have now.”

To commemorate her being brought to the Korean headquarters, Youngchan gave Heejung a car as a gift.

He asked his manager to pick out a car that women of her age would like, but Heejung, who received the car, was too burdened.

The car Heejung received at the time was a Porsche Cayenne, and of course, it was a fully optioned vehicle.

Youngchan thought it was okay because it was an SUV, which Heejung, who likes practical things, liked, and Heejung also liked it when she first received it.

Even if she didn’t know much about cars, it was pretty and practical.

However, when she went to work and found out that her car was a luxury car worth over 200 million won [approximately $150,000 USD], she was clearly burdened.

Apart from having a brother who is a superstar and the CEO of the current company, she still has a petty-bourgeois mindset, so it’s true that she feels burdened by a car that costs several years of her salary.

She realized that her brother was a huge figure when he lightly gave her such a car as if it were a congratulatory gift.

However, apart from that, she didn’t want to stand out in this way, so she suddenly became a daughter from a gold spoon [born into extreme wealth] or at least a silver spoon [born into considerable wealth] family.

In that situation, she was sure that he would give her a car that couldn’t even be compared to a Porsche Cayenne, so she quickly refused.

“First of all, I narrowed it down to two people based on my own standards.”

“Two people?”

Heejung’s eyes widened and she glared at her brother at his words, which contained his dissatisfaction that it wasn’t one person.

“Do you know how hard this was! They were all so kind and pretty… I felt so sorry. To be honest… my true feelings were that I wanted to drop them all…”

She shook her head, clutching her chest as if she really felt guilty.

Youngchan was dumbfounded by his sister’s appearance, but he also understood it. Perhaps because they were the people he was seeing, they were definitely all precious and beautiful beings.

“So, who are the two people?”

“…Jamie. And Kang Ayoung.”

“……”

Was it because he had decided that he wouldn’t be surprised no matter who came out of his mouth? Or was it because he expected his sister to say those two people?

Surprisingly, Youngchan wasn’t that surprised by the two people his sister picked.

Thanks to her brother’s calm appearance, Heejung doubted whether her brother was listening to her, but she soon stopped doubting when Youngchan opened his mouth.

“Okay. Thank you. I think my thoughts are much clearer thanks to you.”

“Oh? Okay. I’m glad if that’s the case. Anyway, decide quickly! Okay!”

“Yeah. Okay. I got it.”

And the next day, Youngchan began to spend more time with Jamie and Kang Ayoung.

“La la la la!”

Jamie, who was humming to herself without realizing it, was greeted by her manager, Semi, who had become another member of her family, with a smile.

“Ahaha. Our Jamie. Why are you in such a good mood?”

“…The CEO wants to meet me today.”

“What? Really? It’s not our meeting day today!”

“Uh-huh. He said let’s have a meal together.”

“Oh my god! The CEO asked you out on a date! I can’t believe it!”

“A, a date!”

Jamie, who was the most beloved woman in the United States and always ranked first as the hottest woman in the world, blushed like a teenage girl, which was hard to believe.

That appearance was innocent and provocative in its own way, so Semi was momentarily distracted by her charm before sighing.

She knows that Jamie still hasn’t escaped her teens, apart from the fact that she has a hot appearance that surprised the world with her debut.

This was the result of finding stability through counseling, and before that, she was no different from an elementary school student who didn’t even know what love was.

That’s why, even though she was getting closer to the result she wanted, Semi couldn’t help but feel anxious, like watching a child out on the water.

“Why did you have to like YC [Youngchan’s initials] of all people…”

Well, she’s a woman too, so she knows how she feels, but YC is a dangerous man in many ways to simply have feelings for.

Of course, she knows that YC is a person with a clean private life, with rumors of being gay, asexual, and having erectile dysfunction, but the danger she’s thinking of is different.

“If you’re a woman, you won’t be able to get out once you fall for him.”

If YC was a little more cruel or interested in sex, he would have had endless scandals.

That’s because who would be able to refuse YC’s hand, let alone anyone else?

She was sure that she would belatedly discover herself having her soul taken away by just one of his casual glances.

She had to send this still immature child to such a charming man, so she was anxious and envious at the same time.

“Don’t feel too pressured. Be comfortable as always, okay!”

“…Semi. You’re making me feel pressured!”

“Ah! Really? Sorry.”

Only then did Semi realize that she was grabbing her shoulders and shaking her, and quickly took her hands off her.

“You don’t have to worry too much. I’ve built up a lot of resistance now.”

“…Okay. I’m glad to hear that. But the other person is YC.”

“Hahaha.”

Jamie smiled, feeling good about Semi’s heart, which always cared more about her than herself, as always.

However, she had no choice but to regret meeting Youngchan that day.

That was because she didn’t take Semi’s warning to heart.
