Season 3_Jang Ma-eum, an orphan with a family of 13

53_People who know me well

“Hey, let’s go. It’s late.

“I feel like I’m going to get a call from Seventeen again.”

I nodded at Jeongyeon's words. I wasn't living in poverty, but I was living on the verge of becoming a Megi.

“No, it’s 5 o’clock in the afternoon and the sun is about to set.”

“The curfew is canceled.

“Seventeen needs to go a little crazy with Ma-im”

All three male friends' mouths dropped open at Jeongyeon's words. Still, Seungwoo soon spoke as if he was relieved.

“Maybe there is something we, as friends, cannot give

“They are people who give love.”

“Oh, you’re good at objectifying things?

Seungwoo is absolutely right.

I decided to think that way.”

I arrived at the checkout counter with a happy smile and said what I always wanted to say.

“I'll pay the bill.”

Since I always got this, I really wanted to buy it for them at least once.


I repaid the favors of strangers who showed me kindness, but I failed to repay the favors of those who benefited me the most.

So this time, I was definitely going to pay with my card, even if they objected.

“Oh, so now Jang Ma-eum is also a daddy~”

I knew Soobin's worries were unfounded. Someone older or with a higher income than me might have objected if I had tried to buy it, but they were just friends like me.

“What does this have to do with college?

“If you don’t work part-time, you won’t have any money.”

“You make money, right?”

I laughed because Subin's seriously innocent thoughts were cute.

“You don’t know much about the entertainment industry.

I'm inactive now.

I'm preparing to film a drama, but

Externally, it is a period of inactivity.

“I haven’t even released a solo album yet, how can I possibly make money?”

“So what is this calculation?”

Seungsik asked.

“A deposit? And an allowance from Seventeen?

Or maybe pocket money from seniors you know?”

When he answered like that, Jeongyeon asked which senior she was receiving money from, as if Seventeen didn't even hear her.

“Seojun oppa and Jiwon unnie…

To the people who are appearing in the drama I am currently appearing in

“I’ve received over ten thousand won at least once.”

“Wow, Jang Ma-eum is so materialistic!”

Subin pointed at me and shouted.

“I never asked for it.

Why did you accept what your seniors gave you?

“If you don’t accept it, your senior will feel embarrassed.”

My position was firm. They gave it to me first, I never asked for it.

“But then, wouldn’t the allowance alone be quite a lot?”

“I don’t know how much it is because I didn’t collect it.”

“You don’t even need to watch it to know it’s a video. Did you write everything down as it came in?”

“With my brothers and seniors,

“I used it to do something with you guys.”

“Oh, if that’s the case, then I have nothing to say.”

I chuckled at Subin's cute tantrum. The responsibility for the money coming in without proper labor weighed heavily on me. At least, I thought, I shouldn't spend it solely on myself.

“Oh, I don’t know. I’ll pay first.”

I was only at the PC room for a few hours, so the price was quite high, but I was able to pay it easily without any problems.





About a month had passed by in an instant, and I was so shocked that I closed my eyes and opened them.



The ‘child sexual abuse prevention ambassador’ that I was worried about didn’t do anything as much as I thought, and I was a little tired because filming for ‘Strong Woman Do Bong-soon’ and ‘Fight My Way’ overlapped.




We are currently producing with the goal of a comeback in May, and have been revising and revising several of the completed songs.



Naturally, singing and acting practice continued. And with school starting soon, I began to wonder if I could possibly keep from collapsing under this tight schedule.






Even Jo Hee-ji, who played the role in “Strong Woman Do Bong-soon,” was a cellist, so she had to practice the cello separately.



I didn't have any scenes where I had to play the cello because I had to take a break from playing it due to a wrist injury during the drama, but I thought that if I learned it professionally, it would at least make the posture look more realistic.




But in the midst of all this, I decided to stick with it, because it suited my aptitude. It was like creating my own set of tasks.

“Hey, stop reading the script and go to sleep.

It's a 12-hour flight. Are you going to keep doing that?"

Next to me, Shua's sweet voice was so sweet that I could hear it, and it worried me affectionately.



Right now, Shua oppa and I are in first class on a plane to LA to film the live-action version of Beauty and the Beast. Shua oppa and I are sitting in the couples section.




I tried to listen to the Seventeen oppas who told me to stick by my side, but it all just seemed like excuses.

“I’m doing that because I’m anxious…”

He said that when he goes abroad, he usually goes with a local manager.



Of course, I could have gone with Seok-woo because I speak English, but Seok-woo couldn't join me because of the accident I caused, and he said that there were no applicants for manager positions overseas yet.



In the end, I decided to send it with someone in Seventeen who spoke English, and Shua and Hansol were my older brothers.



But when Shua oppa made the excuse of going to his hometown, no one had any choice but to send Shua oppa along.

“Then shouldn’t I be anxious when I arrive?

I'm so anxious when you do this.

I respect your choice,

“If that choice is going to ruin you, I will stop you.”

It was known to the public that I was going alone, and the CEO had booked first class with the excuse that he could take a picture with Shua oppa, but I knew.



They just wanted to give me first class. But the excuse was too good to be true, and I already had my reservation, so I couldn't cancel.

“Okay. I’ll rest.”

I knew exactly what he was worried about, so I had no choice but to answer obediently. I, too, felt myself growing increasingly exhausted from the overlapping filming schedule.

“Good idea. Would you like to change your clothes first?”

Shua oppa's words made me realize that I was wearing extremely uncomfortable clothes.



Since it was my first time appearing at the airport, it was obvious that not only fans but also reporters would try to take at least one more picture, and my stylist, makeup artist, and hair artist were completely awakened and made me into a beauty that the world would never see again.



As a result, I was wearing very uncomfortable clothes. I could just mess with my hair, but I had to change my clothes.

“I need to change clothes.”

I changed into my pajamas in the bathroom and returned to my seat, only to find that the script that was supposed to be on my seat had disappeared without a trace.

“D, the script…!”

As if he heard my voice, Shua immediately held up my script in front of me and said.

“Oh, I didn’t mean to surprise you at all, sorry.

I took it with me.

“I’ll confiscate your script until you get off the plane.”

He seemed genuinely sorry, so I spoke hastily. He had no need to be sorry. He just wanted to give me a break.

“There’s no need to be sorry.

“Thanks to you, oppa, I have no choice but to rest~”

She stretched out her legs and tied her hair up very high.

“Oppa, do you always have to fly for 12 hours every time you go home?”

“Yeah, I guess. But even if it’s a 12-hour flight

“When I see my family’s faces, all my fatigue disappears.”

As an only child, I thought he would have grown up receiving all the love, and as a son, I thought he would be blunt and cold, but it seems he treats his family better than I thought.
