Chapter 38 : Ahyeon (6)

'I'm so jealous! I feel like I'm going to die!! Just hearing his voice drives me crazy, how am I supposed to endure this?'

How can I not be jealous when the man I love is meeting another woman! Friends say that since men are rare, women should endure, but Ahyeon couldn't agree. She wanted him all to herself, to possess him. She wanted to shout that he was hers, that no one should take him away.

'No! If I do that, I'll be abandoned!'

All women in the world endure after marrying a man. The news always talks about the declining birth rate of males. They even encourage pregnancy, saying that having more boys is patriotic.

'And then if you give birth to a girl, you're treated coldly.'

Even before Ahyeon was born, the birth rate of males was a problem, and the world made many efforts and new systems to solve the shortage of men. Polygamy became acceptable, and marrying only one woman required a hefty fine.

'If I marry Hae-Sol, I would have to accept at least four other women. Otherwise, I would have to pay a fine.'

Since the law is like that, she has no right to complain. Even her jealousy is an unjustified feeling. It's for the survival of humanity.

'But…but…I can be greedy, right? Our love has just begun!! Can't you understand just a little?'

If human emotions could be controlled rationally, how wonderful that would be. But for Ahyeon, who has just started dating, the world was incredibly harsh.

'Is it possible to monopolize Hae-Sol even for a moment?'

Even knowing it's impossible, Ahyeon couldn't overcome her surging jealousy. Even if Hae-Sol is cheating, she can't let him go. Hae-Sol meeting other women wasn't new, but this was the first time she fell in love sincerely. That's why she might be more attached to him.

"Kind Hae-Sol…. I don't want to lose him."

She needed to find a way to protect Hae-Sol from Teacher Rose.

Crack-crack-crack-

Anxiously, she bit her nails. Even though it wouldn't solve anything.

'How? How? How? How?'

She had to get back Hae-Sol's attention and the body that the other woman took. But no method came to mind.

'I need to think of a way!'

She couldn't concentrate on work because she was thinking of a solution. Her mind was completely elsewhere, so she couldn't work properly. Ahyeon could still hear the moans of the unfamiliar woman in her ears.

-Squeeze!

'She was enjoying it immensely. I know. I've felt it before.'

Ahyeon knew what kind of pleasure the woman's moans were. The pleasure Hae-Sol gave was impossible to endure.

'Please, only give that to me. Don't give it to other women…!'

-Tingle

Her heart ached.

Prickly!

A long needle pierced her heart.

'He was mine…. He was my man….!!'

Tears welled up in Ahyeon's eyes.

'Teacher Rose was bad. Hae-Sol is about to debut as an idol member. As a teacher, she shouldn't do that to her student. If this is revealed, Teacher Rose will surely be disciplined?'

But if this fact is known, Hae-Sol will also be harmed. It might even cause problems with his debut.

'That can't happen! I don't want to be hated!'

Then what should she do? She didn't want Hae-Sol to be taken away by that woman. Then the only way left is…? At that moment, an idea struck Ahyeon mind.

"That's it!!"

She thought of one thing she could try.

••••°°°°••••°°°°••••

Ahyeon didn't want to drag things out. As soon as it was time to leave work, she got permission to leave early, saying she wasn't feeling well, and headed straight to Rose Trainer's personal room.

Knock-knock-knock-

"Excuse me."

"Who is it?"

"Ah! Thank goodness. I was worried you might have left."

"Aren't you Ahyeon?"

"Yes, hello. Long time no see?"

Trainer Rose hadn't directly taught Ahyeon, the trainee. She only taught talented trainees with potential. But Rose had memorized the names of the trainees.

"I heard you quit being a trainee and got a job at the company."

"Yes, I joined the S.K.Y dedicated team this time."

"S.K.Y dedicated team? You?"

Teacher Rose reacted sensitively. Ahyeon gulped nervously.

'I even took some calming pills….'

The tension didn't easily subside. Her hands were shaking so much that she had to hide them behind her back.

"Yes! I was really happy. Because I could work for Hae-Sol."

"You're happy because you can work for him…. Well, you two are pretty close friends, right?"

"No! We're friends, but I just want Hae-Sol to do well. I gave up being a trainee, but I still had regrets. If Hae-Sol becomes a star, I think I can be satisfied vicariously. And I think I can let go of my regrets. So if there's anything hindering Hae-Sol's future, I'll get rid of it no matter what."

"…Get rid of it?"

A subtle tension passed between Ahyeon and Rose.

Rose, with a woman's intuition, sensed that Ahyeon words were not simple.

"Hearing that makes me feel like there's something hindering Hae-Sol's future."

"Yes, that's right."

"Really? What could that be? Something hindering the future of Honey Enter's next-generation star boy group?"

"Do you really want to know?"

"Yes. Of course."

"Then I'll tell you. It's…."

"It's…?"

Gulp-

Tension made her mouth dry. Ahyeon, who had closed her eyes tightly, shouted.

"Teacher Rose, it's you."

She did it!!

Ahyeon opened her tightly closed eyes. There was no turning back now. She had to move forward!

"Ha!"

Ahyeon was startled to see Teacher Rose close to her face. She thought Rose would be flustered since she had something to hide. But Teacher Rose expression was strange.

'No anxiety? Not flustered? How can she be like this when I said I know everything? What is she relying on?'

The trainer had touched a trainee. If this was revealed, she would surely lose her job. This was Rose Teacher's weakness.

"Why aren't you flustered? I said I know everything!"

"What do you know?"

"What you and Hae-Sol did here!"

"Me and Hae-Sol here? Well, I don't know. What did we do?"

"Are you asking me to say it with my own mouth?"

Teacher Rose crossed her arms and looked down at Ahyeon with a proud expression. Although Ahyeon was the one threatening, if someone saw this scene, they would think ah was the one being threatened.

"Tell me."

"That…."

Click-!

Rose took a step closer to the hesitating Ahyeon.

"Come on, tell me quickly."

"Ugh!"

She couldn't just take this. Ahyeon, determined, gritted her teeth and shouted.

"Sex! You had sex with Hae-Sol here! I heard everything!"

"Ah! How did you know that?"

"I heard everything outside! Shameless!"

"Oh, I see. Well, my personal room isn't soundproof. I admit it. But what are you going to do about it?"

"Stay away from Hae-Sol. He's going to be a star. You shouldn't dare touch him! Aren't you ashamed as a teacher? Doing such a thing to a student!!"

Rose, who had been listening quietly, burst into laughter. Ahyeon face turned red with anger at Rose laughing in this situation.

"Ahahaha!!"

"Are you laughing now?"

"You're the one being shameless."

"I'm being shameless?"

"Aren't you? You're threatening me out of jealousy. Who's a hindrance to whom? You're the one who shouldn't be a hindrance to Hae-Sol."

"I won't be a hindrance to Hae-Sol. You're the one making unreasonable demands, so break up!"

Ahyeon clenched her fists tightly.

'I can't lose!'

If she gave in to this woman now, she might lose Hae-Sol. She had to be desperate.

"I don't know. I'm thinking I should tell Hae-Sol. Do you know what happens to girls like you who don't know their place and act out? They end up being reported as stalkers and go to jail. Do you know that you can get jail time for stalking men these days? It's not just 1-2 years, it's over 10 years."

"I'm a stalker? That's nonsense! Don't change the subject. I'm talking about you touching Hae-Sol."

"You should come to your senses. What you're doing won't help Hae-Sol. If you tell the company that I slept with Hae-Sol out of your petty jealousy, what do you think will happen? Of course, if it's revealed, I'll lose my job. But will it end with just me? What about Hae-Sol?"

"Ugh!"

She was completely at a loss for words. Ahyeon realized she had lost all logic. She couldn't threaten Rose to break up anymore. Rose had figured out that Ahyeon was threatening her out of jealousy. Feeling jealous meant she had feelings for Hae-Sol. She couldn't do anything that would harm the person she loved.

"You can't, can you? You can't. So your threat doesn't work on me. If Hae-Sol finds out what you did, how disappointed will he be?"

"…If you love Hae-Sol, please stop. I can't stand seeing Hae-Sol suffer because of you!"

"Why do you think he'll be harmed? As a vocal trainer, I have a lot of reputation and connections in this industry. I can be very helpful to Hae-Sol. For example, when he starts his solo activities later, I can connect him with capable composers."

"The company can do that too!"

"Do you think Hae-Sol should be stuck with Honey Enter for over ten years? Being an idol is a short-lived career. Most don't last more than 7 years. You have to think about what happens after 7 years. Isn't 27 a good age to debut as a solo artist?"

"...."

"Compared to that, what can you do for him? You should stay away from Hae-Sol. Don't cause him trouble with your emotions."

"I would never do such a shameless thing with Hae-Sol at the company! What if it had been someone else instead of me?!"

Tears welled up in Ahyeon eyes. Rose sighed softly.

"That's why crying like this and threatening me isn't scary at all. I admit you tried your best…!"

"I didn't cry!!"

"Okay, okay. I can see you're doing your best. But…oh my, are you really crying?"

"Hiii…! This isn't right, huaa…!!"

Seeing Ahyeon suddenly burst into tears, Rose was taken aback and awkwardly patted her back.

"I've seen all sorts of things in my long life. Handing over a cute blackmailer to the police is one thing, but comforting them is another."

Perhaps because she had seen Ahyeon since she was a minor, even at 20, Ahyeon still looked like a child to Rose, so she couldn't be too harsh. She thought about scolding her severely but decided to appreciate that Ahyeon had the courage to do this despite her timid nature.

'It seems like Hae-Sol and Ahyeon have done something.'

If nothing had happened, Ahyeon wouldn't have had the courage to do this. There must have been something that made her jealous enough to act.

'This kid must have been seeing other women behind my back.'

She thought it was possible since he had a strong sex drive. But she thought he wouldn't have time to see other women while preparing for his debut and had let her guard down a bit.

'I should make him pay from head to toe.'

Rose's eyes gleamed dangerously.
