Park Joong-won worked for Pan Entertainment for a very long time.

He had more or less trust from other employees, and his relationship with other teams wasn’t bad.

to summarize.

he does a good job

Park Joong-won knew that, too, and he knew how precious a person who did a good job was because he had a lot of work to do.

Of course, there is no choice but to leave a certain amount of regret for Jo Sung-hyun.

But that regret didn’t last long.

“Cho Chae-yoon.”

his little daughter.

As soon as I saw Chae-yoon, my feelings for Seong-hyeon completely disappeared.

Jo Seong-hyeon also had a fairly decent appearance, but it was nothing compared to Chae-yoon.

It was Chaeyoon, who had such an amazing appearance that the word cute came out of her mouth as soon as she saw it.

What was important was not only the child’s appearance, but also the fact that Chaeyoon’s musical talent was great for anyone to see.

As the head of an entertainment company, I was a little greedy.

How far can a child with such talents grow if they receive proper training?

Although he is still young, he possesses such a great talent that he surprises others.

I haven’t heard him sing, but as long as it’s not at a level that can be called perfectly tone-deaf, it’s good enough to make a debut as a singer.

Could it be that a solo female singer who dominates an era once again is born?

Or, you can become an idol.

Park Joong-won thought so.

And his thoughts were like this when Yumi’s music video was officially released.

As I watched it with Jo Sung-hyun and Chae-yoon, I became convinced.

In particular, as soon as he saw Chae-yoon’s eyes while watching the music video, Park Joong-won could realize that the child had already begun to fantasize.

‘Seonghyun may not like it.’

I asked him secretly, but he didn’t seem to like it very much.

Of course, it seemed that she was willing to do her best to help her daughter if she wanted to, but she did not intend to actively encourage her.

Park Joong-won could understand his thoughts.

Jo Seong-hyeon has been working here for several years.

He did a good job, and knew that all sorts of odd things were happening here.

“It’s only natural that you don’t want to show your daughter that.”

It’s the entertainment industry where a lot of dirty things happen behind the scenes.

Naturally, as Jo Sung-hyun, he would have a great desire for his daughter not to go through or see such a thing.

Even Park Joong-won himself would have thought that if he had such a pretty daughter.

From https://readwn.com

Maybe it’s the greed that she can have because she’s not her daughter.

But anyway.

Park Joong-won was able to speak at the risk of his entire career.

Cho Chae-yoon, if you put your mind to the entertainment industry, no. Even if you don’t put your mind to it, you can succeed.

‘It will be difficult right now, but… .’

get a little older

And if you grow up a little bit, the story will be very different.

If Chaeyoon had not given up on music by then, everyone would have recognized her talent.

You will be paying attention to the child.

“It will be important what Seonghyun will do.”

Park Joong-won muttered.

Jo Seong-hyeon said he wanted to focus on his daughter a little more and said he would leave the company, but if his daughter is interested in the entertainment industry.

So how will he react?

Park Joong-won got up from his seat with such thoughts in his mind.

There is still much work to be done.

Now was the time for caffeine.

* * *

Jo Sung-hyun could not properly understand the scene unfolding before his eyes.

Yumi and Chaeyoon are sitting side by side in a chair.

Composer ‘Cat Lost Tooth’, Lee Seong-ju was talking to them.

If Jo Sung-hyun hadn’t seen ‘The Toothless Cat’ in the future, he wouldn’t have recognized him, but he has seen him countless times since the plagiarism of ‘The Toothless Cat’ broke out.

As Yumi’s manager, I had to deal with him a lot.

Jo Seong-hyeon hurried his steps.

As she approached Yumi and Chaeyun with a vibrating bell, Yumi turned her head.

Her cold expression changed slightly.

Jo Sung-hyun, who read the signal for help from Yumi’s eyes, opened his mouth.

“hello. What do you think of our artist? .”

“Oh, you are the manager. It’s just nothing. I am a composer too, and I wanted to talk about it because I was curious.”

‘The toothless cat’ says with a sad smile on his face.

Jo Seong-hyeon had to feel deeply offended by his expression and tone.

Somehow, he’s smiling outwardly, but it feels like he’s looking down on himself.

“You are a composer. But our Yumi has just released an album this time, so we haven’t been recruiting songs yet.”

Jo Sung-hyun said as calmly as possible.

He did not inform the other party that he knew of a ‘toothless cat’.

Because there’s no point in telling me.

It was best to just pretend not to know.

Jo Seong-hyeon and Yumi too.

Because it was not easy to see a good figure because he was entangled with a ‘cat with missing teeth’.

Yumi was an artist who refused even though she was able to record the song ‘Cat Lost Tooth’ in this album.

Jo Sung-hyun was the manager who told Yumi directly to reject the song of ‘Cat Lost Tooth’.

Last time, team leader Woo Kyung-soo of Singer Team 2 apologized to him if he made a mistake about this part.

At that time, I thought that we would never meet, but when we met in front of us like this, that moment flashed through my mind.

“Yes, I saw that you released an album this time. It was on my way to watching a music video. Oh, come to think of it, I think I saw it in a music video too.”

‘The toothless cat’ moved his gaze to Chae-yoon and said.

Jo Sung-hyeon instinctively moved his body to stand between the ‘toothless cat’ and Chae-yoon.

Seeing Jo Seong-hyeon who took a step closer and blocked his view, ‘The Toothless Cat’ gave an absurd look.

“You don’t have to do anything like that. I’m not eating anyone. Just an ordinary composer. I’m really I’m on that side, but I’m not the type of person to be treated like a strange person. That name… .”

Saying that, ‘The Toothless Cat’ confirmed Jo Sung-hyun’s employee ID.

And he made a small noise and stopped talking.

Seong-Hyun Cho.

You must have seen that name.

The corner of the mouth of the ‘toothless cat’ rises slightly.

He smiled and made eye contact with Jo Sung-hyun.

“Ahh… Are you that manager? It’s my song.”

It was then that Yumi made a face that seemed to have noticed the identity of the ‘cat with missing teeth’.

“I’m not sure what you’re talking about… .”

“Sung-Hyun Cho. you are right The manager who told me not to include my songs in Yumi’s album this time.”

“… … .”

“No, I was wondering how good a song I should put in after I opened my song, but it’s true. I am very disappointed.”

‘The toothless cat’ said with a grin.

He may have bad feelings for Jo Sung-hyun or Yu-mi, but that doesn’t mean the result is bad for him.

Because I got to work with Seo Ye-na, one of Pan Entertainment’s signature artists.

So maybe you can laugh like this.

Cho Sung-hyun felt a great sense of discomfort.

If I had been alone, the story would have been a little different.

But, now there is Yumi. Above all, his daughter, Chae-yoon, was with him.

It was quite an annoying situation to show such obvious hostility.

But he tried to respond as calmly as possible.

And, fortunately, before something goes terribly wrong.

“Sung-Hyun Cho. What are you doing there?”

Park Joong-won is here.

Jo Sung-hyun, thinking that he was lucky to hear the familiar voice, turned his head to look at Park Joong-won.

Woo woo woo woo woo.

Just then, a vibrating bell rang.

Park Joong-won looked at Jo Seong-hyeon, Yu-mi, and ‘Cat Lost Tooth’ in turn, and sighed a little.

“For now, let’s move.”

As much as there was a cafe on the first floor, there was a lot of attention from the general public.

Park Joong-won chose to change his seat.

* * *

With coffee, they moved.

The destination is the office of Singer Team 1.

‘The Toothless Cat’ was walking leisurely, and Park Joong-won reached out to Jo Seong-hyeon to figure out what was going on.

“What happened.”

“I don’t know either. When I came in after ordering coffee, Yumi was talking about ‘a cat with missing teeth’.”

“under… This is not a very pleasant situation.”

“Iknow, right.”

“Does this happen today? It would not have happened if a new employee had gone to work.”

If Jang Hyun-ah had gone to work, this situation would not have happened with the ‘Cat Lost Tooth’.

It happened because it was Seong-Hyeon Cho.

Park Joong-won sighed and opened his mouth.

“What happened to the rookie today and you couldn’t go to work?”

“What… I must have gone somewhere with my father.”

“… I’m still new don’t go to work It’s been a few days since I joined.”

“no. You are a precious person, how… .”

Jo Seong-hyeon, who was saying that, stopped at Park Joong-won’s strange gaze.

“Who is precious? Yes, I am a newbie. Where does that enthusiasm and confidence in the interview go? .”

“Still, you’re not tardy or anything like that.”

Jo Sung-hyun scratched his cheek and said.

He didn’t plan to reveal who Hyun-ah Jang and her father were first.

I’m leaving anyway, so what do I have to say?

Since Jang Hyun-ah understood that it was not beneficial to her and was not talking about it, Jo Sung-hyun did not need to say anything.

After talking for a while with Park Joong-won, I arrived at the office.

‘The Toothless Cat’ naturally looked around the office.

Jo Sung-hyun opened his mouth after seeing that Yu-mi was looking at the ‘toothless cat’ with cold eyes.

“Mr. Yumi.”

“Ah yes. brother.”

“If it’s okay with you. Wait a minute in the conference room with Chaeyoon… .”

“yes. Okay.”

I didn’t want to show Chaeyoon the words or actions of ‘Cat Lost Tooth’.

As if Yumi knew it too, she immediately nodded and took Chayoon’s hand and headed to the conference room.

Chae-yoon glanced at Seong-hyeon, but the child did not say that he had read a serious mood.

As soon as Yumi and Chaeyun enter the conference room. ‘Toothless Cat’ shed a smirk.

“What are you really going to do? I’m not a bad guy, but I feel like I’m being treated like a bad guy for nothing.”

“First of all, Seongju. Calm down a little… .”

Park Joong-won stepped forward, but the gaze of ‘The Toothless Cat’ was focused only on Jo Sung-hyun.

“No, I don’t care if I calm down or not. manager. I wrote a song hard and gave it to him, but he said he was young.”

‘The Toothless Cat’ spoke loudly, as if Yumi and Chaeyoon, who entered the conference room, wanted to hear, and pointed at Seonghyeon.

Jo Sung-hyun wiggled his eyebrows.

“You lower your voice.”

“Whether you lower your voice or raise it. I guess that little girl was a little special earlier? so pampered What’s your name, Chaeyoon? It’s a pretty name.”

When Chae Yoon-yi’s name came out of the mouth of ‘The Toothless Cat’, Jo Sung-hyun felt unbearable discomfort.

It feels like an insect passing by.

So, Seong-Hyeon Cho.

couldn’t stand it

“Keep your voice down. If it’s hard, shut your mouth. Why is the thief’s bastard making fun of him so freely with his mouth that he’s so proud?”

He said.

my daughter is a music genius

The darkness passed.

‘Cat Lost Tooth’ was looking at Jo Sung-hyun with an absurd face, perhaps not even imagining that he would hear such a word.

Park Joong-won was the same.

Working with Jo Sung-hyun, it was the first time I had ever seen him so angry or angry.

Jo Seong-hyeon is careful about even speaking nonsense to someone.

No matter how close they are or how old they are, they always use respect for their artists and never cross the line.

Therefore, Jo Sung-hyun was not hated.

To other employees and to our artists.

Cho Sung-hyun like that?

Park Joong-won was the first to doubt his ears.

“What, what is this bastard?”

“Shut up your mouth. He is so free-spirited when it comes to his appearance, he speaks freely in his words, very.”

“What a crazy bastard… .”

The ‘toothless cat’ mumbled abusive language as if it was absurd.

Only then did Park Joong-won come to his senses and move forward.

I want to stop because I want to make things bigger.

“Hey, Sunghyun-ah… .”

But Jo Sung-hyun didn’t stop there.

“Cheyun puts her name in her mouth where there is a hole in her mouth.”

“Wow, this is really crazy. Hey, what is Chae-yoon saying that I called my name once? Someone told me to read my song, but I was just a crazy person.”

“under… excuse me. Seong-Joo Lee.”

Jo Seong-hyeon sighed and calmed the excitement a bit.

The reason he had worked so hard came back and stopped him from talking nonsense.

When ‘Cat Lost Tooth’ saw Jo Sung-hyun calling his real name, he exclaimed, “Ha ha”.

He opened his mouth with an annoyed face.

“why. Jo Sung-hyun.”

“Are you going to change your stage name? Not a toothless cat, but a music-stealing bastard.”

“I’m wrestling with something that doesn’t even sound like a word… .”

And there.

Once again, something completely unexpected happened to Jo Sung-hyun.

“What do you mean? You stole music.”

A clear voice echoed through the office.

* * *

Seo Ye-na.

One of Pan Entertainment’s leading stars.

While female solo singers are not using their power properly, among domestic solo female singers, she still has the power to be counted in one hand.

I don’t know why she came, but she was looking at this side with Woo Kyung-soo, team leader of the 2nd singer team.

Jo Seong-hyeon looked at them quietly, and Park Joong-won raised his hand and touched his head to see if his head was throbbing at the ever-increasing scale.

“Ah, hello. Jena.”

‘The Toothless Cat’ was the first to say hello to Seo Ye-na.

Seo Ye-na shook her head with an expressionless face and received his greeting.

As if she had risen to a star position, she had a rough side.

It wasn’t that he was just notorious, but that didn’t mean he was docile.

That’s why the staff are also careful when dealing with Seo Ye-na or having something to do.

For this reason, Seo Ye-na was directly cared for by team leader Woo Kyung-soo.

“therefore? Can anyone explain what you mean by stealing music?”

Seo Ye-na spoke softly.

No matter who looked at it, he didn’t seem to care too much about the greetings of the ‘toothless cat’.

Still, I wasn’t the type to be harsh with the composer, but seeing it like this made me a little annoyed.

Because, as an artist, she couldn’t have known what stealing music meant.

“It doesn’t matter. Because this madman is just talking nonsense… .”

“That crazy guy isn’t talking about our team. Seong-Joo Lee.”

Park Joong-won said while stepping out.

When Park Joong-won, who had taken a passive attitude until now, spoke up, Lee Seong-joo had no choice but to pause for a moment.

But he opened his mouth more strongly, as if he had paused.

“No, then why don’t you just treat me like a bad guy and make me a thief?”

“… … .”

“You have to say something that makes sense. That’s a ‘toothless cat’. This can be sued for defamation or spreading false information.”

“I don’t think it’s spreading false information.”

Jo Sung-hyun said that there was no absurdity in his dignified appearance.

In the first place, Jo Sung-hyun didn’t like ‘Cat Lost Tooth’ very well.

It was natural.

Cho Sung-hyun was a composer.

A composer who never even called his own song his own song.

Of course, even if it’s someone you don’t know, you can’t help but hate stealing someone else’s music and claiming it’s yours.

In that situation, in front of Chaeyoon, she showed such a bad image, but there is no way she would look good.

Originally, he was Jo Sung-hyun, who hated making enemies or causing trouble for nothing.

That is why, until now, the fact of plagiarism of ‘The Toothless Cat’ has not been made public.

‘Of course, if I had said that Yumi’s album would contain a song by a cat with a loss of teeth, I would have said it… .’

Fortunately, Yumi immediately rejected the song ‘Cat Lost Tooth’ at her words, and the song was passed on to Seo Ye-na.

Seong-hyeon Cho was still still.

Because I didn’t have the strength to say anything to Seo Ye-na, and I didn’t want to create a problem.

But, if things went this far… .

“This is really crazy! You say I stole some music!”

it’s really fair

Seong-hyeon shed a smirk while watching ‘Cat Lost Tooth’, which said in anger that the guy who farted was angry.

‘I want to hit one.’

I just want to hit one hit.

With that thought in mind, Jo Sung-hyun sighed.

How can a person come out so blatantly?

“Hey, tell me. What do you mean I plagiarized some other music?”

“If you clearly plagiarized, would you admit it clearly? Would you like to eat well and live well like that?”

When Jo Seong-hyeon asked as if it was absurd, the ‘toothless cat’ distorted his face.

“Do you have any evidence? Do you have any proof that I was plagiarized? If there’s that, I’m fine. I’ll admit it bluntly. I don’t really care… .”

At his words, Seo Ye-na’s gaze shifted to Seong-hyeon Jo.

Even as Seo Ye-na, there was no evidence, but it would not have been easy to be moved by Jo Sung-hyun’s words.

Kyungsoo Woo was similar.

If ‘The Toothless Cat’ is clearly plagiarized, the song can stop and claim compensation.

But if it wasn’t for that, Kyungsoo Woo couldn’t go out.

Park Joong-won seemed to believe in Jo Sung-hyeon, but it was difficult for him to come forward without solid evidence.

He believed in Jo Sung-hyun’s musical talent, and thought that if he said plagiarism, it was almost certainly plagiarism, but that and this are another matter.

When Jo Sung-hyun finally opens his mouth to talk about the song of ‘Cat Lost Tooth’.

click.

With a small sound, the door to the conference room opened and Yumi came out.

And also Chae-yoon.

* * *

Just now.

click.

The door to the conference room closed with the sound of the door.

Yumi looked down at Chae Yoon, who was holding her hand.

The child was just staring at her with a blank expression on her face.

He had no idea who the man who suddenly appeared was, and Chae-yoon did not know what kind of situation Jo Sung-hyun was in.

‘Well, what does the kid know?’

Yumi knew that the relationship between Jo Seong-hyeon and ‘The Toothless Cat’ was bound to be bad.

I also knew that Jo Sung-hyun would have no choice but to be defeated unilaterally if this was the case.

Because ‘The Toothless Cat’ was a successful composer, and Jo Seong-hyeon was just a manager.

“under… What are you going to do?”

“Huh?”

When Yumi sighs and speaks, Chae-yoon responds next to her.

Yumi, who shook her head at the child, glanced at the situation outside through the glass.

It would have been the best thing for me to step forward and protect Jo Sung-hyun.

Even if it’s a ‘cat with missing teeth’, it won’t be easy to attack Yumi.

Touching Seong-hyeon Jo and touching Yu-mi were completely different issues.

From the company’s point of view, it’s because there’s a different weight between just one employee having a minor problem and an artist having a problem with someone else.

‘I’d rather have the company say something to me.’

Jo Sung-hyun protected Yu-mi and Chae-yoon.

So Yumi couldn’t say anything.

Because Chaeyoung was there.

Because I understood the position of Jo Sung-hyun, who had to step forward.

She moved her gaze gently and looked at Chae-yoon, who was sitting on a chair in the conference room.

The child was concentrating on the apple juice in front of him, whether or not he was worried about his father.

Gathering all eyes on the straw that was placed in the drink bottle, he carefully sticks out his tongue and brings the straw into his mouth.

Seeing Chae-yoon drinking apple juice on the side, Yumi burst into laughter.

How cute it is, even in such a situation, a smile came out of its own accord.

As if he had already drank the apple juice, Chae-yoon stumbled over and over again.

At the end of the child’s gaze, the coffee that Jo Seong-hyeon made arrived.

“Daddy?”

“yes. Chae-yoon is Dad’s coffee.”

I stare intently at whether I want to drink.

Yumi smiled and gently stroked Chaeyoon’s hair.

“It’s coffee, so Chae-yoon can’t drink it yet.”

“Chaeyoon can drink coffee too.”

“no. What Chaeyoon can drink… It’s just juice and iced chocolate.”

Yumi shook her head and said.

She had never raised children and didn’t know much, but she knew at least a 7-year-old wouldn’t like to drink coffee.

Seeing Chae-yoon turning her head with a somewhat dissatisfied face, Yu-mi barely swallowed what was about to burst into laughter.

“It can’t be because it’s a caramel macchiato, but let’s ask Dad to buy me iced chocolate later.”

“Caramel Matomato?”

“yes?”

While tilting her head, Chaeyoon said.

Yumi tilted her head at Chaeyoon’s strange words.

She realized that Chaeyoon’s pronunciation was twisted and smiled.

“No, caramel macchiato.”

“Caramel Matokki!”

Chae-yoon tried to pronounce it correctly, but it was still somehow strange.

Even that figure was cute, and Yumi hugged Chaeyoon lightly without realizing it.

“No, how is our Chaeyoon so cute?”

A faint voice could be heard in Yumi’s ears as she spoke like that.

“Are you going to change your stage name? Not a toothless cat, but a music-stealing bastard.”

Jo Sung-hyun’s voice.

I don’t know why his voice was passing through her ear at this moment.

However… .

‘What are you talking about. You stole the music.’

Yumi had no time to worry about such things.

Because even Yumi knew what stealing music meant.

At the memories of the past that suddenly passed by, Yumi was startled and trembled.

Jo Seong-hyeon resolutely told Yu-mi that the song ‘Cat Lost Tooth’ would not suit her, and Yu-mi didn’t think much about it, so she just agreed.

But what if that wasn’t really the reason ‘doesn’t fit’?

Yumi hurriedly went through her arms and took out her smartphone.

After finding and playing the sound source that Park Joong-won had sent her once, she shut her mouth and started listening to the song of ‘Cat Without Tooth’ once again.

Just to find out if there’s anything I’ve missed.

I listened to the end, but nothing came to mind.

By the way.

“Chae-yoon knows that.”

The answer came from somewhere else.
