I quietly walked through the dark living room with the lights off, and quietly opened the door.

Sung Min-hee slept with headphones on as usual... and secretly confirmed that Lee Kang-bin's bed was empty.

After I made sure the shower light was on, I walked over to the bed and plopped down.

"It should be Li Kangbin, right?"

I had to wash it anyway, so I decided to wait for him to come out and turned on the Internet directly.

[Wharton City Hotel] and then enter the search terms in the search window.

In less than a second, relevant information will be listed one by one.

[What is the possibility of WatonCity Hotel, a large hotel company, landing in South Korea?]

【President Jason Shin of Wharton City Hotel made the remarks"Korea is a country of longing"】

【The 20-year-old Korean-American son of Chairman Xin of Walton City Hotel in the United States was indicted on suspicion of illegal drug distribution]

I scrolled down without thinking and clicked immediately after confirming the title of the extraordinary report.

"Suspected of drug circulation?"

【Wharton City, a large American hotel chain, is once again facing a crisis.

Following Shin Dong-bin's eldest son Shin Jong-hyun (32), who was deported from the United States in March this year on suspicion of frequent drug use, his second son Shin Tae-hyun (28) was also detained and prosecuted for illegal distribution of cocaine and is currently awaiting trial.

On the 31st, at a club in Seoul...

In this regard, Chairman Shin Jung-ho, the actual operator of Wharton City Group, remained silent. Many people at home and abroad are paying attention to the trends of the company that has lost two successors.

Hot News in Seoul Reporter Han Jae-hyung

It wasn’t until I finished reading the report that I suddenly realized the reason for Chairman Shin Jung-ho’s sudden visit.

"So I asked you if you have any ideas about learning business?"

Shin Hye-hyun's two half-brothers were both deeply involved in drug abuse, so no one took over the company.

Also, although I know that Shin Hye-hyun is preparing to debut now, if this is the case, he must be quite anxious.

Anyway, He is obviously a shameless person. He left things alone when he didn't need them, and now he is more certain that he has found them when he needs them.

I continue to research Wharton City Group.

There is still information I know.

Shin Jung-ho The chairman's father, honorary chairman Robert Shin, the founder of the group, immigrated to the United States in the 1950s and is currently resigning from his management position.

Shin Dong-bin has two official sons. The eldest son was deported from the United States for drugs and the eldest son was expelled from the United States a few days ago. The second son who was detained and prosecuted for allegedly distributing drugs in Seoul.

So, including me, there are three children? No, maybe there are more.

And the sudden familiar voice

"Shin Hye Hyun?"

I hurriedly turned off the phone screen and turned my eyes to the back.

The owner of the voice was Li Kangbin. He seemed to have just come out of the shower, put a towel on his shoulders and looked here.

I pretended to talk to him first as if nothing had happened.

Brother, you Didn't sleep

"oh oh. I just came in too."

Li Kangbin shook his hair with one hand and walked to the dressing table. I looked at him and recalled what happened in the nursery.

"I'll tell you next time...I'll tell you next time."

What he said to Li Kangbin when he was experiencing hyperventilation symptoms. He never mentioned the related matter again after that.

And he also witnessed me following a very suspicious person today. Although now Wouldn't talk to me first, but would most likely feel weird.

I took a breath and talked to him

"elder brother."

He turned off the hair dryer and looked back during my call. I continued.

"When I went to the nursery, I said I would tell you next time... Can I tell you now?"

Li Kangbin didn't know what he was thinking, and looked here quietly.

Today, the situation has probably been sorted out.

He was startled after hearing my words, and asked over.

Are you okay?

"……It doesn't matter."

Then he walked towards the direction where I was sitting and continued to speak.

If you are too tired, you don't have to take it out, because you have to explain it to me for no reason.

"No, I want to explain."

He didn't know how to interpret my words, implying that it didn't matter. But I refused directly and faced him directly.

No matter what, he is a person who needs to continue to watch. Also, I don't know if it is someone else... because he is already in childcare The hospital showed a bad side to Li Kangbin.

Anyway, there may be situations in the future that require everything to be revealed, so there is no use hiding it now

"Now tell me what happened."

I decided to just tell him about Shin Hye-hyun. But I lowered my head again in my mouth that was not easy to drop.

Because it was the first time I said such words, I was speechless.

If I had said it to someone else, , the fact that he later entered Shin Hye Hyun's body will definitely be regarded as a mental disorder.

I really have to pretend to be Shin Hye Hyun and talk.

So, where to start explaining?

His parents died, he was isolated when he was a child, he tried to commit suicide but was resurrected, and it turned out that his biological son The fact that my parents are other people and that I am an illegitimate child?

When I really wanted to talk to others, I discovered that I had never mentioned these things to others.

Until now, it was a matter of course that everything had to be solved alone, although I don’t know if that’s the case... I’m not used to mentioning my own affairs.

I wanted to speak, but I was hesitant. He was silent and spoke first.

"Huixian"

"What do you think is the reason why I volunteer at the nursery?"

I asked a question out of nowhere. I gave a frank answer.

To be honest, I don't know very well.

"Because I came to Seoul, I gave my little brothers to a nursery."

"I left my brothers here. If I watch it occasionally, I feel very guilty about that... look."

The truth he conveyed in a light tone overlapped with what the dean said to me and replayed in my mind.

Although I had already heard it once, hearing it directly from Li Kangbin gave me a new feeling. And…….

"But I failed to take care of you after I started living as a trainee."I've always cared about that."

I heard it on the subway at that time.

His words followed immediately.

For my dream, I sacrificed my brothers

"I originally wanted to debut in exchange for my precious things, but in the end I couldn’t debut."

He continued in a self-deprecating tone.

"To be honest, I have had this thought. Everyone seems to be doing well, but why am I so tired? Why is it so hard to do something well?"

I felt like I could see the deep feelings in his heart.

I thought about his words carefully.

Maybe it was because of me that my brothers had to grow up in a nursery, which left me with deep regret. Every time I mentioned the story of my brothers, There was a lot of emotion on his face.

I saw that expression and asked him

"Brothers, how old are you?"

Because it was when I was in the first grade of junior high school... when Yubin was 4 years old and Jiang Han was 3 years old.

""You are indeed very young."

I suddenly understood why he was so tired.

If it were me, leaving my little brothers to a nursery and coming to Seoul alone, the burden and guilt would be no joke.

If If he fails to debut in that state, he will feel even more broken. Moreover, the reason why he has been serving in the nursery has begun to appear at first glance.

The younger brothers said that he came to Seoul when he was about three or four years old, and now the elder of the nursery Some of the children are about 5 years old.

The words of the dean reappeared in my mind.

"I think that... seems to be to pay for the past when I failed to take care of my brothers when I was a child."Because I couldn't do it for my brothers, I wanted to do it for other children."

He may be trying to get forgiveness by doing things for other children that he couldn't do for his brothers.

"Honestly, my family is more important to me now than my dreams...even though I couldn't do that before."

The reason why he often misses practice at night is now clear. Now I may feel that the time spent with my brothers is more valuable than practicing at night.

Until now, he seems to have made up his mind to do what he failed to do one by one. Things to do for my brothers

"I know I show a lot of shortcomings. I also know that we can't be said to have a close relationship until now. If possible, I hope you can rely on me."

After he said that, he ended his story.

"Please rely on me."

When he told his past story at this time, he was not expecting me to have a special reaction. He was afraid that I would be burdened by telling it first. Because I hesitated to tell my story, I opened my heart first. It was better than I expected. A more considerate person. I felt like I got to know a new side of him and remembered what he said.

"Why is it so hard to do something well?"

Of course, it's not that he didn't understand his mood, but I also expressed my opinions cautiously.

"Even though I said it at the time... I think this is the best thing my brother can do under the circumstances."

"…yes. hope so."

He smiled at my words and answered calmly.

Then there was silence again. I thought about where to start for a while, and finally blurted out.

"When I was a kid, I didn’t seem to know what I wanted to do, not really sure. Both parents died in traffic accidents, and they didn't fit in well at school."

He listened to me seriously. I continued.

"And the first time I decided to become an idol was when I was a freshman in high school. After that, I practiced with GNX company for about 3 years and joined the debut group."

"When it came to my debut...the other trainees were very opposed to it and were almost kicked out of the company."

This is the memory I recalled on the day I possessed this body for the first time. Then Shin Hye Hyun committed suicide.

I was trying to convey a message that was not embarrassing as much as possible, but he interrupted me mid-sentence and asked me

"Did something happen there with the other members?"

He asked me why other members opposed my debut.

To be honest, it was because Shin Hye Hyun was not strong enough. But now, no matter how bad I say... I am not a trainee who is not strong enough. The problem is that it is a reason that is difficult to accept now.

I concealed lies and did things half-heartedly.

But no one liked me

"I do not understand."

He heard my answer and frowned in question.

"In fact, I wanted to give up everything at that time and just wanted to start over."

So I participated in the LnT draft, started my trainee life again, and now here.

I smiled quietly and continued, and he spoke again

"That Huixian, then...have you been living alone since your parents passed away?"

"No. I have been fostering at my aunt's house until last year, and I have been living alone since this year."

"How is auntie?"

"……I'd like to say it's nice, but I don't have any good memories of that family."

I smiled again and told the truth. He seemed to understand the meaning of my words and started talking to me again.

"Really... it must be lonely"

""Ding a bell" and a status window popping up

[‘Li Kangbin's Unconscious] (Locked state)

(Please increase the intimacy level to unlock. After releasing the character's unconsciousness, the character's tolerance for others will increase.)

[Current intimacy level: 21+2]

Maybe it’s because I told my personal story that the intimacy level has increased.

I thought it was possible, so I came up with the most important topic.

"Ah, and I forgot the most important thing... the person I met today is my biological father"

"…What?"

It turns out that my parents who died were both adoptive parents. He looked doubtful whether he heard correctly, put his hand on his forehead, and I continued

"I fainted, maybe because of that"

"……Have you been entrusted there too?"

It seems so. Because it is a memory from a very young age, although I am not sure.

He instantly showed a frightened expression and hid it again. Then with a trembling voice, he asked seriously

"……You too, is it the first time you heard about it today?"

"Yes, but... I honestly can't believe it."

You should be appropriately bloody... because the past you know about Shin Hye-hyun is a morning drama-level story line, so it is correct that there is no sense of reality.

"So about your biological parents...have you inquired about them?"

"Yes, what... I just searched and found that he is the president of a relatively well-known hotel company in the United States. But anyway, it was the first time I met him, so I could regard him as someone else."

I quickly cut off the authorship of my biological father. Anyway, Shin Hye-hyun's two half-brothers are also drug addicts, and his father doesn't seem to be a normal person. It's better to remain unknown.

And at the beginning...throw it away. I don't want to throw it away. The person I came to when I was in need was my biological father.

He listened to me quietly. I thought the conversation ended hastily, so I wanted to end the conversation directly. Until he spoke again.

"If I heard this story a little faster...could I be of any help?"

Deep regret flashed across his expression instantly. I hurriedly refuted his words.

"No, brother. It is also helping me fully now."

I'm sorry, Hye Hyun.

But he apologized for my rebuttal.

"To be honest... I don't really want to care about the members right now."

And the sincerity revealed from him again

"This time I think it doesn’t matter what the debut group is like. Because now my top priority is my family. So I know you are relying on me and this is deception."

But, after hearing what you said, I regret it.

He stroked his hair with his hands and sang softly.

I should have opened my heart to you first.

There was also a sound effect accompanying his voice.

"Jingle Bell"
