01059 9. Vivian Side Story (Modern) —————————————— ——————————-=
It was a meeting with a lot of talk and trouble, but it ended on a better note than I expected.
My mother said, ‘Try to go a little longer this time.’ With that last nagging thought, Kim Soo-hyun made his way home to Gehenna.
However, instead of returning home right away, he headed to the daycare center.
The time I left the restaurant and the time the daycare center ended were roughly similar, so I stopped by on the way there.
Kim Soo-hyun, holding the hands of his two daughters who came out in quick succession, decided to stop by the mart as well.
It wasn’t that there was a particular lack of food ingredients, but it was a little fun to go grocery shopping with my wife and daughters.
Kim Soo-hyun went around various corners of the mart, selected what he needed, and then moved to the checkout counter with a cart.
I felt like if I finished the calculation and went home like this, the day would end safely.
However, the incident actually occurred at the end.
To be more precise, it was when I was putting the items in my cart one by one on the checkout counter.
“uh.”
Sweets, candies, ice cream, chocolate, etc.
Inside the cart, various types of snacks were hidden here and there.
Of course, I don’t even remember picking Kim Soo-hyun, let alone including him.
“… … .”
The eyes, which were shining with an absurd look, glanced sideways.
The side face of Suna seen below had an extremely indifferent expression.
Although there isn’t much to see, I just stare into space as if I’m looking at a distant mountain.
On the contrary, Marr looked very anxious.
When their eyes meet, they hiccup and don’t know what to do.
The small, pursed lips look like they want to say something, but in the end, they lower their heads in tears.
“haha… … . huh?”
Kim Soo-hyun’s eyes, which had been smiling brightly, suddenly widened.
Suna was secretly stepping on Mar’s left foot with his right foot.
In addition, every time Mar tries to open his mouth, he stomps on it.
Mar didn’t mean to cry for no reason.
Even though I was staring at him, Suna was still acting like a fool.
Kim Soo-hyun’s eyebrows twitched.

Dinner time.
“I don’t know either?”
Ansol, sitting on the terrace with a view of the city night view, was busy talking on the phone.
“Are you suspicious? “No, it doesn’t make sense.”
However, no matter who he was talking to, his facial expression was not very good.
“no, I do not want. “I really don’t want to meet you.”
I was so stuffy that I fanned myself with my hand throughout the phone call.
“I told you. I’m usually lucky. And you really don’t know anything? I just did what I felt like because I had some pocket money left… … .”
How much time has passed?
After finishing the call, Ansol, who was pressing the end button, let out the breath he had been holding.
A face full of irritation said, ‘I feel so wronged.’ It seems to be written in palace script.
It was a rare facial expression for Ansol.
After a while, there was a creaking noise behind me.
Ansol, who was sighing, followed his instinct and looked back.
Vivien was sinking into the chair and tilting her head back.
“sister?”
“uh… … .”
Vivien raised her hand slightly and lowered it.
“What are you doing at this hour?”
“I just finished broadcasting… … .”
“Already?”
“yesterday… … . I stayed up all night… … .”
It was a voice full of fatigue.
Well, staying up all night while broadcasting was not uncommon, so Ansol quickly became convinced.
Vivien opened her mouth with her head still tilted.
“Who were you just now? “You talked on the phone for a really long time.”
“It’s called the Financial Supervisory Service?”
“Financial Supervisory Service?”
“It’s called the Financial Supervisory Service… … . “They say my income doesn’t make sense.”
“Did you go to the casino again?”
“Oh, no! I didn’t go! “I’m banned from that casino!”
Ansol was shocked and shook his head.
“Then why are you calling from there? “It feels like a somewhat strict place.”
“I don’t know. “I just started trading stocks and it’s like this.”
“stock? “Do you also do stocks?”
“yes. Has it been four months? “I tried it because I heard I could make a lot of money if I did it well.”
“Are you okay?”
“I don’t know. Everything that goes into it is said to be a triple or triple, but I don’t even know what they’re talking about… … .”
Ansol scratched his head.
Of course, Vivien didn’t know anything about stocks.
“How much is the initial investment?”
“Eight thousand won.”
“How much did you earn?”
“800 million won.”
Vivien finally lowered her chin and looked back at Ansol.
And then he continued talking as if he was sick of it.
“It’s really amazing. “Where are you going to spend your money?”
“It’s your brother’s birthday soon. “I just want to raise about a billion won.”
Ansol smiled and answered.
“Ah, birthday.”
Vivien said angrily and fell down on the table.
“How is the show these days, sister? Is everything okay?”
“… … no. “Today was especially bad.”
“why?”
“Because of those damn snipers.”
The voice that suddenly spoke with force trembled with subtle anger.
Ansol nodded as if he vaguely understood.
Because sometimes, I saw Vivian crying.
“There are so many strange people. Why do they go so far as to snipe and interrupt the broadcast? … .”
“I do not know either. But in a way, it’s my fault.”
Was it something unexpected?
Ansol, who was speaking as if comforting her, blinked.
“I get angry when snipers attack me, but the reason I keep getting attacked is because I’m not good enough. Also, as a public figure, there are some things that we inevitably have to endure… … . “I know that much.”
“but… … .”
“As a result, as my skills improve, the number of times I get shot will decrease. So, starting yesterday, I set the goal of improving my skills and started broadcasting as well. I did… … .”
“… … “I thought so?”
After a moment of silence, his upright shoulders slumped.
“The majority of viewers don’t find it interesting.”
“to… … . really?”
Certainly, the viewer response today was low.
Even though it is a broadcast specializing in gaming and eating, the basis of ‘Genius Alchemist”s popularity is focused on the character Vivien.
Viewers laugh and enjoy watching her react without pretense, such as being happy when she wins a game or swallowing her anger after losing badly.
However, with the goal of improving his skills, he did not react at all and only focused on playing, so his popularity naturally fell.
“Actually, today’s broadcast had few snipers and the performance was quite good… … . “Viewers think it’s not fun if I do well.”
Vivien muttered with a downcast face.
“No way. Isn’t it because she’s a bit bored because she doesn’t react and just plays the game? In fact, she gets tired of just watching other people do it.”
“is it? “Still, I want to press down on the snipers’ noses!”
“no. There is no reason to give up the skill-oriented corner. “It’s just that I need to change to fit my sister’s concept.”
“… … how?”
“How about mixing in something like a simple penalty? For example, every time you die in a game, you get a slap in the palm of your hand.”
“penalty? “You want me to hit you?”
Vivien suddenly asked sharply.
This was because it was a difficult story for her with high self-esteem to accept.
On the other hand, I didn’t want to gain popularity by doing bizarre things (this was what Vivien was truly thinking).
“Or something like push-ups would be fine. Then wouldn’t viewers be able to enjoy the game content and look forward to the results?”
“uh… … . hmm.”
The stinging sensation has subsided, albeit slightly.
That was worth a try.
After thinking about it carefully, I realized that Ansol’s advice was not wrong.
This has happened once or twice before.
In fact, he himself felt that today’s broadcast was not interesting.
If you are not excited, the audience will not respond either.
The conclusion was that something needed to change.
Something powerful that will bring new vitality to your life.
It was then.
I heard the front door opening in the distance, and then the sounds of a couple of people raising their voices.
The two women took turns looking at each other and quickly stood up.
“Are you going to keep doing this?”
The two who were running fast stopped reflexively.
A man, a woman, and two girls had just entered the front door.
Kim Soo-hyun looked very angry.
On the other hand, Suna was holding back tears and fuming, wondering why she was so sad.
What happened?
“Aren’t you going to apologize to Mar?”
“I will not! “I won’t do it even if it kills me!”
Kim Soo-hyun spoke once more, but Suna’s reaction was more violent than necessary.
It felt like I was seeing an active volcano ready to explode at any moment.
“Sunaya?”
“Noisy, noisy, noisy, noisy!” It’s noisy so shut up! “You stupid idiot!”
“Oh, what are you talking about with your dad?”
“dad? pooh. “Not a moth?”
Kim Soo-hyun, who was quite young, seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, and a subtle anger appeared on his face.
“Do it in moderation.”
“I’m playing. “What are you going to do if you don’t do it in moderation?”
The next moment, Kim Soo-hyun lifted Suna up.
“This guy is real!”
Before Suna could react, he swung his hand with all his might with his plump buttocks.
It was truly lightning fast.
slap!
The sound of a car being kicked rang out.
It was that moment.
“ouch!”
At the same time, Suna closes her eyes tightly.
“!”
I don’t know why, but Vivien, who was staring blankly, also trembled.
As if someone had been electrocuted.
