314. You Wanna Bet? (1)
If all the happiness in the world were gathered and made into an SNS, it would probably look like this.
From that day when the conversation with Yeon-woo started with a misunderstanding.
Trevi’s various SNS accounts were bursting with an uncontainable sense of happiness.
[Today is such a happy day. The clouds floating in the sky were so beautiful!]
[I’m so grateful to God for the blessing of being able to love music (happy emoji)]
If a person changes this much, people might say they’re crazy.
In fact, some of Trevi’s fans even raised this question.
-Is Trevi doing drugs these days?
Some even said the Narcotics Control Bureau should investigate.
Others said he should take a doping test.
All sorts of claims popped up.
Of course, that was only a small minority.
Those who knew the truth openly ridiculed such claims.
-Drugs? Oh, my god. That’s the funniest joke in the world.
-I guess those who aren’t even fans think we don’t know they’re pretending to worry while subtly talking behind his back?
-One thing is for sure 🙂 Those who spread such useless conspiracy theories are not Trevi’s fans. :DDD
If it were someone other than Trevi, the story might have been different.
A sudden change in SNS.
Some meaningful messages.
Wouldn’t all of this be suspicious?
It’s enough material for tabloid reporters who quickly catch on to spread sensational gossip.
That he had a secret wedding.
That he was already married and had a child this time.
Or that his relationship with a famous model or singer was exposed.
Well, those ridiculous rumors.
[This world seems so beautiful. I’m grateful to everyone who made this world beautiful. The development of technology is truly amazing! It brings the world together like this, even if we’re on opposite sides of the planet!]
But Trevi didn’t get any of those sensational, third-rate articles.
The reason was simple.
-Oh. Friends. Don’t misunderstand. Trevi left a message like he’s protecting the Earth, but there’s only one thing he likes LOL
-Looks like he finally achieved it?
-They say those who work hard get the beauty 🙂 Let’s congratulate him on getting the beauty.
Because there were very few people who didn’t know what Trevi’s nonsense meant.
There was even a rumor that tabloid newspapers, which had been reporting on Trevi’s eccentric behavior one by one in the early days, had now stopped spying on Trevi’s Instagram.
Trevi’s changed attitude was naturally conveyed to Korea as well.
In particular, the plane ticket that Trevi suddenly posted after displaying a series of happy messages really set off the fuse.
-Hey, don’t tell me this isn’t what I’m thinking?
ㄴIf what you’re thinking is what I’m thinking, then it seems right? There’s only one reason why someone who used to be so sick is suddenly acting like they have flowers in their hair……
ㄴAh… Trevi became a successful fan… Congratulations…?
-Ah, seriously ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Doesn’t this feel like a national hidden camera? A super famous foreign celebrity is a real fan of a Korean actor……
ㄴWhat’s new ㅋㅋㅋ…… I felt it since Trevi came to Korea. Ah, he’s the real deal……
ㄴㅇㄱㄹㅇ [abbreviation for ‘real’] I saw him crying in real time because he was rejected from Yeon-woo’s fansign and I was like ???
ㄴI remember…… Everyone had cognitive dissonance when they suddenly saw Trevi’s Instagram uploading fansign goods ㅎㅎ……
You may not know the person Trevi Hazel.
But it is an accepted theory in academic circles that there is no one who has not heard his song even once.
Even people who ask, “Who is Trevi?”, if you just play his song,
‘Oh? I’ve heard this before? This is his song?’
That’s Trevi Hazel.
Everyone had forgotten because he had been talking nonsense so intimately, but they seemed to realize it again with this incident.
How great Trevi is.
And at the same time, a sense of crisis swept over them.
-Shouldn’t we stop our Yeon-woo from being taken out of the country? What if we lose her forever like this?;
ㄴThere’s a possibility
ㄴIsn’t this crazy? Is he giving that ticket to Yeon-woo??? Why is he so reckless??
ㄴNo, we have Sung-hyun. Yeon-woo is close to Sung-hyun, so she won’t completely go over there.
ㄴBut Sung-hyun is the kind of guy who would be happy if our Yeon-woo is happy ㅠㅠ
ㄴCan’t she just have flowers in both hands……?
ㄴLet’s tell Trevi to come to Korea
ㄴThat’s right, why are you telling our Yeon-woo to come and go??
The online world was buzzing like it was on fire, but Yeon-woo didn’t know.
Yeon-woo just thought this.
‘What is it? Why do you keep sending me messages?’
That’s because the conversation seemed to be *kkeuneojil deuthamyeonseodo isanghage gyesok ieojigo isseotgi ttaemunida* [on the verge of ending, but strangely continuing].
The intense first message that started with What the f*ck.
The *seokgo daejoae* [kneeling apology] and apology parade that followed only ended after a long time.
‘I’ve said thank you, so that’s enough.’
Like a person from the Land of Eastern Courtesy, he finished his thank yous refreshingly.
He was satisfied that he had at least started a conversation, as he didn’t know what the relationship would be like.
It would be a lie if he didn’t covet Trevi’s role, which was more influential than he thought.
But first of all, that was it.
He could use it if necessary, but what should I say?
‘Is it a bit… to use someone who approached me with kindness?’
Of course, if his life was at stake, he would give up his conscience and everything else.
Anyway, he doesn’t have to abandon his conscience right now.
So Yeon-woo was satisfied with conveying his gratitude.
The problem was that Yeon-woo was the only one who was satisfied.
“Doesn’t he have any friends……?”
Yeon-woo muttered.
Messages come when the conversation is about to end.
Messages keep coming when they’re about to end.
Looking at the messages that seem to never end, I even felt pity.
[He’s crazy. He even changed his days and nights to match your sleep pattern. He’s so devoted, really……]
“……Does he really not have that many friends? Is that why he’s sending me messages?”
But why do I feel like that’s the case?
There are definitely a lot of people in the world, but the feeling of being isolated.
Is that what loneliness in the crowd feels like?
It was a feeling that Yeon-woo was very familiar with.
It’s faint now, but until just a year ago, loneliness was always around Yeon-woo.
‘He’s a celebrity that everyone in the world knows……’
Pity filled Yeon-woo’s eyes.
‘Surely such a famous person wouldn’t have a single friend?’
The thought that started like that,
‘……That’s right. It’s possible. Kang Yeon-woo, you’re getting too full of yourself.’
It ended with Yeon-woo’s self-reflection.
I even feel sorry at this point.
To ignore the messages of such a lonely person.
Well, he can’t save all the loneliness in the world.
He doesn’t have the ability to do that, and he doesn’t have such arrogant thoughts.
But strangely, I’m worried.
‘Is it because I’m reminded of my old self?’
Come to think of it, not everyone is happy just because they’re famous.
There are stars who suffer from human distrust because they are harassed by paparazzi, often called *giregi* [trash reporters].
There are also entertainers whose mental health deteriorates as their nerves are worn down by hearing harsh insults that they can’t even put into words for no reason.
It shines brightly, but as much as that intense light, there is a deep darkness on the other side.
Trevi is one of the most famous people in the world, but he may also be experiencing that loneliness in the crowd.
‘I can’t help it.’
It was the moment when the one-sided contact became two-sided.
Only short answers came back, but Trevi was very happy and sent a reply.
‘As expected, this person is……’
Yeon-woo’s pity grew deeper with each message.
Even Dongja-ryeong said so!
He even changed his days and nights to contact him.
Of course, Trevi wasn’t lonely, hadn’t experienced loneliness in the crowd, and had a lot of good friends around him.
He was just enjoying the happiness of being a successful fan and contacting his *choeae* [ultimate favorite].
But Yeon-woo had no way of knowing that.
‘I should treat him well because he’s a lonely person.’
It was like in a movie.
The truth is out there.
That’s how the misunderstanding deepened.
*
“Invitation?”
Yeon-woo answered vaguely, and a few days passed since Trevi sent detailed messages.
Trevi brought up an unexpected story.
For Trevi, it was an ambitious proposal to not miss the opportunity to see his *choeae* [ultimate favorite] in person.
However, for Yeon-woo, it was just an unexpected proposal.
>Dear Yeon-woo, would you mind visiting my studio if it’s okay with you?
That’s how the very cautious proposal began.
Trevi had done a lot of research on Yeon-woo in his own way, so instead of appealing to emotions, he added other reasons.
‘The broadcasting station contacted me……?’
The experienced broadcasting station knew early on that the point at which the response to Breaking the Limit began to come in earnest was when Trevi started posting on SNS.
They probably know why Trevi volunteered to promote it, but anyway, they seemed to have contacted him with that excuse.
Even if it’s this or that, it’s never a losing game for a broadcasting station to have a relationship with a famous overseas musician.
>There are many people here who like the Breaking the Limit program, and there are many companies that are interested in UTT. I heard that the broadcasting station is planning the next season. Since I showed interest, the company suggested collaborating with the broadcasting station……
As always, Trevi’s message was detailed.
But this time, instead of a diary-like content that describes his daily routine in detail, it was full of business talk.
Honestly, there was a lot of content, but I couldn’t understand all of it because it was business talk.
To put it simply, the only thing I understood was,
‘So, are you saying you’ll help me advance overseas?’
It’s not a bad offer.
Breaking the Limit is also a program that aims for the overseas market.
The status of the program will change depending on how successful the group that wins the competition is overseas.
The Breaking the Limit production team also has connections overseas, but it’s nothing compared to Trevi.
If Trevi helps the winner of Breaking the Limit advance overseas, it’s like a *geumsujeo* [golden spoon; born into wealth] is born in the overseas advancement world.
[He’s really devoted. He’s really a master of *choeae alhi* [앓이; being sick with something, in this case, being obsessed with one’s favorite], really.]
Dongja-ryeong was talking nonsense next to me.
“Why are you suddenly picking a fight?”
[I feel sorry for you when I see that clumsy trick. Well…… Our Yeon-woo is good. Who’s child is he, of course.]
“Ms. Kang gave birth to me. Why are you talking like you gave birth to me? It’s creepy to hear.”
[So, are you going?]
“I’m thinking about it.”
[헐 [heol; omg]. What’s wrong with you? You’re even thinking about going abroad?]
“Well……”
‘How much did he miss people?’
I could feel the desperation of a very famous but pitiful and pathetic soul on the other side of the phone.
He was worried that I wouldn’t come because of the money, so he cut off the plane ticket and sent a *injeungsyat* [proof shot] to show off.
I only said I would think about it, but suddenly a ticket flew in.
It was a desperate appeal to please come, saying that the date could be changed at any time.
Tsk tsk.
‘He’s a well-known person…… Tsk.’
Yeon-woo clicked his tongue.
*Dongbyeong sangryeon* [sympathy between fellow sufferers].
I don’t know why that word comes to mind now.
And there was something else I was curious about.
‘I’m also curious about how well we’ll get along.’
I also wanted to see with my own eyes the results of the lambs he had raised by coaxing and coaxing them.
‘I hope they don’t forget their self-esteem and maintain it well.’
Of course.
There was one thing that UTT had to take care of before going overseas.
“What? Aren’t these just robbers? Do you know who discovered UTT?! Do you know who I am?! I’m their agency’s president! They’re my babies!”
He had disappeared and then returned like a ghost after hearing the news of the *gyeongyeon* [competition]’s victory.
It was UTT’s former agency president.
