Become an Idol or Become Deceased! [fan translation] P.2

Chapter 251

After the island stranding variety show, it was a good thing that we were guaranteed a Chuseok holiday break. There was something I had to do.

'...I was planning on clicking the 'Check the Truth' then.'

Even if I wasn't in the best of shape, it was an advantage to be able to recover over the holidays, and I didn't mind the fact that the guys were all going home for the holidays.

'I can take care of things neatly by myself.'

But now, what was this suggestion out of the blue?

'Inviting a co-worker to your home for the holidays?'

Are you planning to make both parties uncomfortable?

Ryu Chungwoo, especially, has a likelihood of going to his hometown for holidays, much like I used to when I was young...

"..."

'Forget it.'

Let's not... needlessly speculate more than that. It would be meaningless.

Step.

I walked slowly on the mountain path and just asked straightforwardly.

"Wouldn't it be a bit strange for me to go during the holidays?"

"It's okay."

Ryu Chungwoo answered calmly.

"It won't be any different than usual. My family already talked that we'd be spending time just by ourselves. How about having some holiday food?"

"..."

Whatever he interpreted my silence as, Ryu Chungwoo smiled wryly.

"To be honest... I'm a bit uncomfortable with meeting my relatives."

"...!"

"I received a call from <Idol Corporation> through them."

Ryu Chungwoo continued casually.

"Because there were even articles about it... After that, my parents said they wouldn't go meet them during the holidays either."

"..."

Right. The writer of <IdolCo.> took her chance as a relative to cast him.

Ryu Chungwoo's parents also seemed to refrain from interacting with relatives for fear of becoming prey to reporters.

I chose my words carefully.

"That's wise."

"Haha, maybe. Anyway, so it's just me and my parents at home. My younger sibling is going on a trip with friends. Oh, and we have a dog too."

"..."

"Think about it. I don't think you're going to be able to stay at the dorm by yourself this time."

"Yes?"

A mischievous glint appeared in Ryu Chungwoo's face as the wry smile disappeared.

"You don't know? The members and the company say that you shouldn't be left alone because something strange happens every time you go on vacation."

"..."

That... was reasonable.

I was left at a loss for words as I thought back to my last vacations.

'It was hijacked every single time.'

Even I would keep an eye on someone on my team if they got screwed up or got caught into a dogfight every time they went on vacation.
