The Second Life Idols Lucky Plan – Chapter 126

"Hyung?"


Hyunjin, who sat next to me, looked surprised.


'...I had no idea.'


I couldn't help but be surprised too. From what I have seen so far, Jihyeok has never once seemed to be greedy for the leader role.


"In some ways, it is the position that has the strongest say and is the first to be introduced to the public. There is no reason not to be greedy."

"Then why..."


...Why hand over the leader position to me?

Usually, the leader position in a group is held by the oldest person. Moreover, since none of the members were greedy for the leader role, he could have easily taken over if he had wanted to.


'Why did you go to the extent of fraud to hand over the position to me?'


Jihyeok gave a simple answer to the question that naturally followed.


"Oh, I'm not that persistent."

"You?"


I couldn't help but gasp.


'You don't have persistence? Really? Do Jihyeok?'


It was the most incomprehensible thing I had ever heard from that guy.


He glanced at me and grinned.


"To be specific, I gave up quickly. You must have felt it, too, Yoo-ha. Isn't that why you helped?"

"..."


Instead of answering, I kept my mouth shut. I only just realized what Jihyeok was trying to say.


"It's one of my bad habits, because I don't really cling to things that I think won't work. Just like Assistant Manager Kwon said."


Jihyeok said, playfully staring out the dark window into the night sky.


"I have faith that the current members will do well. But you never know what will happen. It's good now. But I thought about it, what if things don't go well?"

"Hyung..."

"Oh, I don't think we'll fail. I just thought about the situation objectively. You know, no one knows the future."


He looked at Hyunjin's conflicted expression and spoke more softly. After a moment of silence, Jihyeok bitterly opened his mouth.


"When I thought about it that way, I wasn't sure whether I could trust myself. So I thought that position shouldn't be mine."


Only after hearing those words did I really understand what Jihyeok was trying to say.

Jihyeok clearly had good leadership skills. That could be said to be a virtue that a leader must have.


However, as he said himself, it was also true that he was prone to giving up.


'Just like he gave up on his team in the last 3rd contest.'


It was an efficient choice, but it was definitely not the 'best' path. It was a lane that he had no choice but to choose due to the circumstances.


As he said, a person's mind can change at any time, depending on the situation.


No matter how well the starting point is now, no one can be sure what will happen next. That's why Jihyeok clearly recognized his limitations and said that he himself had stepped down as leader.
