Holy Idol [EN]: Chapter 86

< 86. Who are you? 〉 The day to meet Woo Yeon-woo's brother arrived. "Gamjae, you go with Yeon-woo." Jong-woo, anxious about sending Rembrary alone, insisted on having Sa Gamjae accompany him. "Why do I have to go with Gamjae? I can go alone." Rembrary protested, but Jong-woo had no intention of sending Rembrary alone to a crowded place. "Gamjae, just go with him, you." "Understood." Sa Gamjae answered calmly. Despite causing his fair share of trouble, he acted as if he were a Doberman or something. "You have no tact, Gamjae." Rembrary grumbled, but Sa Gamjae silently grabbed the car keys. In fact, from Sa Gamjae's perspective, it was difficult to refuse Jong-woo's words. It wasn't his real job, so even if he got fired, it wouldn't affect his livelihood. However, Yeomra [the King of Hell in Korean mythology] had ordered him to stay by Woo Yeon-woo's side for protection and surveillance. Due to the nature of his profession, being a manager was the best way to stay close to an idol. However, recently, he had been getting a lot of subtle pressure at the company due to his main job. On days like this, unrelated to his main job, he planned to follow his senior Jong-woo's instructions. Following Woo Yeon-woo was also helpful to him. In the end, Rembrary went to the agreed-upon swimming pool with Sa Gamjae. It was a swimming pool in a hotel, and Woo Yeon-woo's brother said he was staying at that hotel, so they should meet there. He said that the swimming pool at the hotel was almost empty on weekday afternoons, so even a celebrity could quietly come and go. "Is this considered a small number of people, Gamjae?" "I only go to human swimming pools for my main job." However, contrary to Woo Yeon-woo's brother's boast that there would be few people, there were quite a few people at the swimming pool. It wasn't a large number, but it wasn't a quiet atmosphere either. Rembrary looked around the swimming pool and clicked his tongue. "By the way, Woo Yeon-woo said he didn't like swimsuits because they were too revealing, but why are you wearing one?" "It's weird if I'm the only one covered up when everyone else is practically naked." "You adapt well wherever you go." "What about you? Is it okay for a grim reaper to dress so revealingly?" "As long as I match the black code." Muttering about why he was so obsessed with black, Rembrary looked around to find Woo Yeon-woo's brother. Then Sa Gamjae pointed to a man lying on a sunbed. "It's probably him." "How did you know? Is it a grim reaper's ability?" "It's written all over his face. He looks like him." Listening to Sa Gamjae, the man did indeed resemble Woo Yeon-woo. "I wonder what Woo Yeon-woo's parents ate to give their children such faces. Neither of their sons looks like them!" "I have the same thought, but it's better not to say that in front of others." "Am I being too honest?" "It sounds like you're being a jerk." Rembrary's mood soured a bit at Sa Gamjae's blunt assessment, but he forced a smile and approached the man lying on the sunbed. While walking, Sa Gamjae gave a short warning. "Woo Yeon-woo's brother has a somewhat unpleasant vibe. It's better to be careful." "What?" Before Rembrary could ask what he meant, The man, who was on the phone while lying on the sunbed, noticed them, immediately hung up, and got up. The man looked even more like Woo Yeon-woo up close. Rembrary couldn't ask Sa Gamjae what he meant and forced another smile, calling out to the man. "Are you Woo Sung-woo?" The man nodded and casually patted Rembrary's shoulder. "I heard you lost your memory. It's true." It seemed he was indeed Woo Yeon-woo's brother. Rembrary nodded, awkwardly stood there, and then smiled awkwardly. "Oh, yeah." And for a moment, they both stared at each other without a word. The awkward feeling he had felt during the phone call returned. Rembrary scratched his forehead for no reason. How long had they been like that? Fortunately, Woo Sung-woo spoke first. "I heard you lost your memory." "Yeah, I did. I heard about having a brother once." "I looked up all the shows you were on." "Yeah, I did. I heard that from you recently." "Your vibe has changed a lot." "Thank you. Um... what was his name? Your father. No, our father. Is he doing better after being shot? I heard his life wasn't in danger." "Yeah. He was wondering whether to call you or not, but he couldn't because of the time difference. He said you should call him later." "Okay." However, the conversation didn't last even two minutes and was cut off again, and the awkward silence that had retreated hurriedly rushed back. 'Woo Yeon-woo must not have been very close to his brother...' Rembrary thought to himself and sent a signal to Sa Gamjae for help. Then Sa Gamjae held up three fingers. It seemed like a signal to ask if he should call his name three times. 'Gamjae is no help.' Rembrary sighed and looked at Woo Sung-woo again. Woo Sung-woo also seemed to be in an awkward situation, standing blankly before suggesting. "Want to swim?" 'What a truly unique person.' *** While Rembrary was getting into the water without stretching. Woo Sung-woo put his phone in the locker, set a password, and then walked to the track in the swimming pool where Rembrary had already entered. However, instead of entering the water, Woo Sung-woo just stared down at his brother, who was splashing around in the water. Just as Rembrary thought of Woo Sung-woo as a 'unique person,' Woo Sung-woo was also thinking that Rembrary was strange. As Rembrary guessed, he wasn't very close to his brother. But they weren't on bad terms either. After Woo Yeon-woo had a traffic accident due to his mistake when they were young, the relationship between the brothers became awkward, but Woo Sung-woo felt a great sense of debt to his brother. Because of that, when Woo Yeon-woo said he would stay in Korea alone and become a trainee at an entertainment agency, Woo Sung-woo stepped in to support his brother's living expenses and allowance and prevented his parents from opposing him. It was also Woo Sung-woo who persuaded his parents, who were worried that Woo Yeon-woo wasn't making any progress and should quit before he became more well-known. Of course, Woo Yeon-woo, who found it difficult to be around his brother, didn't know about these things. The conclusion is that Woo Sung-woo isn't close to Woo Yeon-woo, but he feels a sufficient sense of responsibility as a brother. And this emotionless sense of responsibility gave Woo Sung-woo rational judgment. 'The kid has become strange.' Woo Sung-woo was confused. He was initially surprised to hear that he had lost his memory, secondarily surprised to see his actions after losing his memory, and thirdly surprised to see the CF [Commercial Film] shooting scene. He was especially shocked when he saw the CF shooting scene. The scar from the traffic accident on his side had disappeared without a trace. Usually, even if people's scars disappear, they just find it amazing and don't question it further. They just think they got rid of it with surgery or covered it up. However, Woo Sung-woo knew that many amazing and strange things happen in the world. As soon as he learned that his brother had 'lost his memory, changed his personality, and had a large scar disappear,' he thought of the types of monsters that kill people and wear their skin. There were more than one or two types. On the internet, people were naturally saying, 'It's makeup. It's Photoshop,' but Woo Sung-woo thought he couldn't rest assured until he confirmed it himself. So he immediately booked a ticket and came down on a red-eye flight, and deliberately asked to meet at the swimming pool. In the swimming pool, monsters or demons can't wear clothes to hide their energy, and he can check the scar right away. Fortunately, he didn't feel the energy of a monster from his brother, whom he saw in person. However, there was clearly no scar on his side, which was exposed in his swimsuit. It had disappeared so completely that it couldn't be said that he had removed it with surgery. Besides... "Wow, that person swims really strangely." "How do you do that?" "Isn't he just flapping his feet in the water?" Woo Sung-woo, who had been lost in thought, suddenly came to his senses at the voices around him and looked ahead. Rembrary was standing blankly in the deep part of the swimming pool. Only half of his body was exposed, and half of his body was submerged. 'A mermaid?' As he was watching with wide eyes, the man who had come with his brother hurriedly ran over and pulled his brother into the water. After waiting for a while, Rembrary appeared in a place far away in the blink of an eye. "Oh? Isn't that person Woo Yeon-woo?" "Wow, really!" As he became noticeable, people who were doing their own thing recognized Rembrary and began to whisper. Woo Sung-woo rubbed his forehead with his hand. He's definitely suspicious. No, it wasn't just suspicious. It was very bizarre. *** 'Why is that guy just standing there so embarrassingly when he said we should swim together?' Rembrary, who had swallowed some water because Sa Gamjae had pulled him in so quickly, patted the slightly sore area around his neck and then noticed Woo Sung-woo, who still hadn't entered the water. Not only had he not entered the water, but Woo Sung-woo was standing in one place to an uncomfortable degree. It's even more uncomfortable because he's wearing a revealing swimsuit. Rembrary clicked his tongue, shook his head, grabbed the stairs, and got out of the water. He thought he should just have a meal with him and send him back if he didn't want to swim. "Woo Sung-woo." Rembrary walked to Woo Sung-woo's side and poked his arm with his fingertip. "I'm hungry. Let's go eat. Buy me pizza." But it was strange. As if he had pressed a broken button, Woo Sung-woo's expression instantly distorted. Rembrary flinched, wondering if pizza was too expensive. The agency always fed him only chicken breast and salad, so he had ordered the pizza he saw in the TV commercial. Was it such an expensive food that he would make such a fierce expression? "Beef is okay too." Rembrary hurriedly changed his words. However, Woo Sung-woo's expression didn't soften. He looked at Rembrary with a serious face, and then, conscious of the surrounding gazes, told him to follow him and went ahead. Woo Sung-woo strode ahead without looking back and stopped near the locker. There was no one around there. As Rembrary approached, Woo Sung-woo frowned fiercely, grabbed Rembrary's shoulder as if he would tear it off, and asked. "Who are you? Where did my brother go?" *** Title: OMG I'm at the hotel swimming pool here and Woo Yeon-woo is here!!
