1.3 billion won worth of pride

#02. "B shows the minimum courtesy to A."

...

백희재 image

백희재

The contract is simple, let me explain.

최연준 image

최연준

...(*nervous)

백희재 image

백희재

You just have to keep doing music.

백희재 image

백희재

I get paid when you succeed.

최연준 image

최연준

..exactly, what is the reward after that success?

백희재 image

백희재

The income you earn after success is several times the amount I invested in you.

최연준 image

최연준

All the proceeds must be given to you?

백희재 image

백희재

No, not all of them

백희재 image

백희재

Only some.

최연준 image

최연준

But why are you paying off my debt?

최연준 image

최연준

If money was the goal, wouldn't it be better to be debt-free?

최연준 image

최연준

Why would you choose the one that costs more?

최연준 image

최연준

If it were me, I'd hire someone who doesn't have debt.

백희재 image

백희재

...'snickers'

백희재 image

백희재

Yes, if I do that, my expenses won't be that big and I'll make money.

백희재 image

백희재

But, Mr. Fed...

백희재 image

백희재

You know what?

백희재 image

백희재

People...~

백희재 image

백희재

When you have a weakness, you can only learn to fight?

백희재 image

백희재

Why should I trust and invest in someone who has no weaknesses?

백희재 image

백희재

If you eat that money, you never know when you'll run away?

백희재 image

백희재

but,

백희재 image

백희재

People like you are collateral for debt.

백희재 image

백희재

You can't run away from me.

백희재 image

백희재

So, I think you, who I can control, are the perfect investment for me^^

최연준 image

최연준

...

That's true, but for some reason I feel bad.

What this woman just said is,

An extremely arrogant attitude, as if I have caught your weakness and think I am easy to deal with.

I know this type of person best.

People who exploit people's weaknesses and use them as they please, even after putting them under their own control.

최연준 image

최연준

...

And I despise these types of people the most.

백희재 image

백희재

lol

백희재 image

백희재

Don't be so upset

백희재 image

백희재

I've caught your weakness, so I can invest a lot of money in you with peace of mind?

백희재 image

백희재

so,

백희재 image

백희재

As your sponsor, I will spare no effort in supporting you to achieve success with the music you love.

백희재 image

백희재

If you need a lyricist, Yeonjun will bring in the lyricist you want.

백희재 image

백희재

If you need a composer, Mr. Yeonjun will bring in the composer you want.

백희재 image

백희재

People can talk whenever they need to

백희재 image

백희재

I'll bring them all.

The attitude of this woman, speaking without any expression, made it seem like that would really happen.

The mindset of giving up anything I want.

최연준 image

최연준

...

백희재 image

백희재

And, I will personally prepare all the funds needed for music activities.

백희재 image

백희재

For music activities, you will need lessons from a professionally trained teacher and a studio.

백희재 image

백희재

First, I'll list the agency.

백희재 image

백희재

All such capital will be invested in that agency.

백희재 image

백희재

With these conditions, isn't this a really good offer?

최연준 image

최연준

...

최연준 image

최연준

So, what should I do?

백희재 image

백희재

In normal times, I do music activities according to my schedule,

백희재 image

백희재

There is one more condition

최연준 image

최연준

condition?

백희재 image

백희재

Sometimes I will call you.

백희재 image

백희재

At that time, you can cooperate.

최연준 image

최연준

...I hope you're not asking me to do anything strange?

백희재 image

백희재

Phew,

백희재 image

백희재

What kind of strange thing is it?

Heejae raised one corner of her mouth and asked with a trailing smile.

최연준 image

최연준

...

최연준 image

최연준

...like something that involves hitting someone with your body... (mumbles)

The Fed muttered softly.

백희재 image

백희재

Ah, something like that?

최연준 image

최연준

...

백희재 image

백희재

Why, do you want that?

최연준 image

최연준

I don't want to...!

최연준 image

최연준

I just don't want to sell my body to such filthy desires. (Serious)

백희재 image

백희재

Someone like me?

최연준 image

최연준

...okay.

백희재 image

백희재

What kind of person am I in your head, to say such things?

Heejae raised one eyebrow as if she was uncomfortable.

최연준 image

최연준

For people like you who were born into wealth and have a lot of money... no, it's overflowing.

최연준 image

최연준

It's clear that I will just be treated as a pawn to be manipulated by your one-day desires.

백희재 image

백희재

...

백희재 image

백희재

...(knock knock..-)

Heejae looked at Yeonjun with interest as he spoke, and tapped the office table where he was sitting with his finger.

최연준 image

최연준

and

최연준 image

최연준

And I sold my body to become successful, and it wasn't easy.

The Fed spoke its mind firmly.

백희재 image

백희재

...

백희재 image

백희재

is it so,

백희재 image

백희재

But, what I proposed was a bit different from that...

백희재 image

백희재

There's nothing that Mr. Fed would worry about that's going to happen.

최연준 image

최연준

...?

Yeonjun looked at Heejae with a suspicious look.

백희재 image

백희재

(smile)

Heejae smiled brightly at Yeonjun.

최연준 image

최연준

...

Looking at that smile like that

Yeonjun was worried about how much he should trust that woman.

백희재 image

백희재

Well then, again

백희재 image

백희재

Now, back to the main point...

백희재 image

백희재

The contract is for two years after I reach Mr. Fed's standards of success that I am satisfied with.

백희재 image

백희재

I will fully support you throughout the contract period, and you, Mr. Yeonjun, will make the results come true.

최연준 image

최연준

But,,

최연준 image

최연준

What if I don't succeed?

백희재 image

백희재

Until success.

최연준 image

최연준

...?

Then it would be a very bad deal for that woman...

Why do you trust me?

백희재 image

백희재

I am sure.

백희재 image

백희재

That you will definitely achieve it.

최연준 image

최연준

...Why...

백희재 image

백희재

I can see it in my eyes

백희재 image

백희재

Is this the investor's eye?

Heejae said with a distinct yet slightly mischievous smile.

최연준 image

최연준

...

최연준 image

최연준

What are the precautions?

백희재 image

백희재

Rather than a caution...

백희재 image

백희재

I won't touch any of your private life, even if it's unhealthy or harmful to society.

백희재 image

백희재

But, as long as the press or anyone else doesn't find out.

최연준 image

최연준

...;

I think it's just telling me not to do it...;;

백희재 image

백희재

I guess that's difficult for celebrities, right?

백희재 image

백희재

I also find it annoying to block the press...

최연준 image

최연준

...okay,

최연준 image

최연준

What about the next clause?

백희재 image

백희재

Don't be curious about my private life either.

백희재 image

백희재

Don't ask, don't be curious.

최연준 image

최연준

okay.

I wasn't curious anyway,

If you dig into someone's private life like that, you know what will happen...

최연준 image

최연준

Now, is there no next clause?

백희재 image

백희재

I told you everything in the contract.

백희재 image

백희재

however.

최연준 image

최연준

?

백희재 image

백희재

I'm going to add one more haha

최연준 image

최연준

..what?

백희재 image

백희재

"B shows the minimum courtesy to A."

최연준 image

최연준

...under?

백희재 image

백희재

of course,

백희재 image

백희재

A is me, B is you.

Heejae looks kind, but her smile is somehow cold.

백희재 image

백희재

actually···

백희재 image

백희재

I've been a little concerned about the informal speech since earlier.

백희재 image

백희재

Does Mr. Yeonjun have no manners towards his employees?

최연준 image

최연준

...under,

최연준 image

최연준

Okay, I'll treat you with respect.

Yeonjun and Heejae engaged in an invisible war of nerves.

최연준 image

최연준

Instead, I wish you would use polite language as well^^

백희재 image

백희재

Yeah, right^^

...

백희재 image

백희재

So, would you like to sign the contract?

최연준 image

최연준

Yes, I will.

최연준 image

최연준

That contract.

At this point, I don't really have anything to lose, and it's actually a contract that benefits me.

Swish.-

The Fed boldly signed its name on the contract.

백희재 image

백희재

(smile)

...

..

.

After the contract is completed,

최연준 image

최연준

Well, can I go in now?

백희재 image

백희재

Yes, of course

백희재 image

백희재

Oh, and come again tomorrow at this time.

최연준 image

최연준

?

백희재 image

백희재

Shouldn't there be an agency?

최연준 image

최연준

..ah

최연준 image

최연준

..Oh, yes.

백희재 image

백희재

Okay, see you tomorrow.

백희재 image

백희재

Mr. Fed.

최연준 image

최연준

...yes.

Knock.-

widely.-

So the Fed left the office.

Swish.-

최수빈 image

최수빈

Can I trust that person?

백희재 image

백희재

What can I do if I believe in it?

백희재 image

백희재

Even if he gets upset,

백희재 image

백희재

Even if I make a fuss, it's all in my hands.

백희재 image

백희재

lol

최수빈 image

최수빈

...

최수빈 image

최수빈

Mr. Representative,

최수빈 image

최수빈

Sir, do you know that you are really evil whenever you do that?

백희재 image

백희재

I?

백희재 image

백희재

Was that so?

최수빈 image

최수빈

...

최수빈 image

최수빈

...a little.

백희재 image

백희재

lol

백희재 image

백희재

This is why I like Subin

최수빈 image

최수빈

...Huh? (embarrassed)

백희재 image

백희재

Knowing how to speak your mind, no matter who the other person is.

최수빈 image

최수빈

...

최수빈 image

최수빈

...Are you paying attention?

백희재 image

백희재

lol

백희재 image

백희재

Anyway, you're quick to notice...~

최수빈 image

최수빈

...haha;

백희재 image

백희재

anyway,

백희재 image

백희재

Just pick from entertainment agencies in Korea.

백희재 image

백희재

If possible, focus on small and medium-sized businesses.

최수빈 image

최수빈

all right.
