Chapter 48

When our photos were uploaded on Lemon Entertainments official SNS, we were all catching our breaths in the practice room.

It was a break time right after the practice.

The youngest, who had laid his head on my thigh, sprang up.

Hyungs! Look at this, it just came up!

Really? Let me see.

The five of us gathered around the smartphone like meerkats.

On the screen that Ji-ho showed us, there were our photos posted on Lemon Entertainments official SNS account.

We gasped as we flipped through them.

Wow, we dont look like ourselves, we look like different people.

The youngest was right, we really looked like different people.

The ones in the photos were not us, but young men from another world.

Ji-ho, who wore a red hairband and smiled brightly.

Ri-hyuk, who sat in front of a canvas with a sea painted on it, with a chic expression and paint smeared on his face.

Bi-ju, who held a yellow flower in his hand and looked at it lovingly.

Jung-hyun, who lay down leisurely and bit into a green apple.

The concept shots that brought out each of our colors were so impressive that I would want to know who they were right away if I were an idol fan.

The photos are really pretty. Im going to send them to my mom, dad, and sisters later. This is the first time Ive seen such a good shot of myself in years.

Wang Ji-ho, how do I look? I think I came out well.

You totally did, I admit.

Yeah?

You look like a pirarucu right now, but in the photo, you look like a cool handsome boy.

The warm atmosphere of the youngest line turned into a mess as Ri-hyuk searched for pirarucu.

I came out well. How about you?

I think Im okay. Actually, I was more worried about how our kids would come out. The shooting site was so tense that day.

They all got scolded a lot.

The hyung line smiled calmly as if they were relieved.

Huh? The last one is Woojoo hyungs and the group shot!

What? Why are there so many photos?

Theyre up!

My concept shot and group shot just came up.

And

Im embarrassed to say it with my own mouth, but my personal shot was really the best.

Wow

The younger ones opened their mouths wide and looked at the photo.

In the screen, I was sitting on a box with purple fireworks sticking out, smiling.

Refreshing.

I felt proud for some reason as I saw the smile that seemed to make me feel refreshed.

I did everything to practice that.

From magazine pictorials to the expressions that models in bikinis made.

It was worth preparing.

I thought it was amazing at the shooting site, but its really awesome.

Its amazing how I keep looking at it.

Right? How do you make such an expression?

Ri-hyuk, who was moving his facial muscles strangely to imitate me, snickered.

I was embarrassed, so I changed the topic.

Hows the reaction to our photos?

Its just likes for now. I guess our fans dont know yet. It hasnt been long since they posted it.

The fans only gave us about 10 likes so far.

I wonder what itll be like when it spreads on the internet. Wont they make a fuss over Woojoo hyungs photo?

I know. Im looking forward to it.

Honestly, even if we look at it, its something

As the younger ones said a word each, I also felt excited.

A photo that I think came out well.

I wonder what people will say when they see this photo.

After Lemon and DNS posted their concept shots, the photos went up on the idol community.

-[Spoiler] Boy group concept shots for debut in June

The post had concept shots of New Black, Street Boys and two other groups lined up.

-Looks like Lemon is going for a refreshing concept?

-They both picked good concepts

-Whos the brown-haired one?? Hes so pretty

-Isnt that the filter of their lives They didnt look like that when I saw New Black on the music show

-Oh, theyre not bad?

-You have to see them to know Theyre just profile pictures

-But theyre all visually striking. Is it because Lemon is an actor agency that they picked unique kids?

-When are they debuting?

-Hey. Why are you guys only talking about New Black? Street Boys must be sad

-Youre worse for hitting them like this

-Street Boys concept is so fierce They all look like they want money for their eyes.

-Theyre already obsessed with them They should watch their performance.

Similar posts came up, but most of them were full of compliments for the concept shots posted by Lemon.

It was a clear win for New Black.

It was only natural.

New Blacks refreshing concept was more approachable than Street Boys hip hop warrior concept, and the photos taken by an excellent photographer caught more attention.

Of course, there was another big reason.

-That brown-haired one is totally my type Whats his name?

-Is there more than one brown-haired one?

-You should get it if I say it, dont you have any sense? The brown-haired one were talking about is the only one here.

-the brown-haired one

-Why do you put the definite article

From the comments asking for his name.

-He looks so mysterious I cant take my eyes off him.

- I dont know if its because of his expression, but I keep looking at him.

-Wow Look at his expression. He doesnt look like a rookie at all. He has something.

-He looks good enough to watch on stage even with just a photo.

To the praises for his expression.

I guess Nayoonie noona is here.

Oh, the Kakao appearance?

Cameo. Jung-hyun hyung, cameo.

Its common to use cameos when shooting music videos.

For the purpose of sending out a line of press articles later.

Long time no see, everyone.

Behind Bi-ju, a small-framed girl group member, Daisy, appeared.

A face with fair skin and big eyes.

She looked like a cute block of tofu waving her hand.

We greeted her warmly for sparing her time for the fireworks music video shooting.

Hello.

Noona, long time no see!

The kids greeted each other warmly.

It was a polite greeting.

Daisy, who was chatting happily, brought up something as if she had remembered it.

By the way, I bought some sushi for you guys to eat later.

The sincere welcome that came out right away made the other person look nervous.

Sushi was a big deal.

The morning shoot was a success.

We had practiced the choreography like crazy, so it paid off to match our fingers and toes.

The director also praised us constantly.

He said we might finish by evening.

Good job, everyone!

After greeting all the staff with a 90-degree bow, I finally took a seat at the table under the parasol.

Daisy, who had finished the cameo shoot, was with us.

Wow, noona spent a lot of money. There are almost 60 people, including the staff and us.

Right? Im kind of rich.

Daisy laughed cheekily, as usual.

She was the same as when I saw her in January, when I threw her a luggage.

The only thing that changed was her clothes, according to the season.

Daisy, who was chatting with the kids, looked at me.

But oppa, youre hard to see. I thought Id run into you once, since the studio is attached and all. I went to ask you about my composition block several times, but you were never there.

Did you? You should have left a note.

I wasnt that curious.

The person who shrugged his shoulders suddenly lit up his eyes as if he had thought of something.

Oh, speaking of composing, how about fireworks? Do you like it? The A&R team always talks about it when I go there.

The ones who answered that were the younger ones.

Look forward to it, noona. Woojoo hyung made a really good song. We wrote the lyrics too.

Well, I hate to admit it, but the song is decent. It suits our color well and it was well made.

Me and Woojoo hyung worked hard to make it.

It feels like our song every time I listen to it.

The kids were excited, while the person who actually made it was quiet.

I didnt know they were so proud of the song I made.

Wow. It must be really good.

Daisy said with a curious expression.

Not to mention, every time I go to the music show, I hear this all the time. The other group kids come and ask me. They say your junior group has a new song coming out, hows the song?

Really?

What is this nonsense?

The rumor is fast in this industry. Everyone is interested because of the competition with DNS.

Really? For us?

No, not you, this oppa.

Everyone laughed at Ji-ho, who made a sullen face.

Theyre amazed that you have a self-composed title track this time. They wonder how good the song is, and if its going to be another hit like Something. Even Im curious, you know.

The other group people do that?

They pretend not to, but theyre really interested. Yesterday, I went to greet Teen Spirit in their waiting room, and they were subtly digging.

She said with a displeased tone.

They keep asking me how your junior kids song is. Its obvious what theyre up to. They want to be nice to you in advance, in case the song does well.

Thats how they all calculate. I mean, composing is something that you can succeed once by luck, but if you succeed more than once, its skill. They think that if theyre nice to you when youre a rookie, they might get a good song from you later.

Its scary when you think about the entertainment industry.

The kids who havent even graduated from high school are living with their antennae up, wondering who will do well and what their potential is.

Sometimes it feels disgusting.

Be careful of the kids who come to you, whether theyre boys or girls. There are a lot of foxes.

Its okay.

Ji-ho said reassuringly.

First of all, Woojoo hyung doesnt like girls.

Im going crazy because of him. Hey, dont say that, what does that make me?

Of course, the man of charm.

Woojoo hyung, its not bad to have guys like you.

Instead of helping me, who was suffering, the younger ones joined in teasing me with giggles.

Daisy laughed as if she couldnt stop them.

You guys are really mean, really.

Right?

Yes, so dont give these idiots a solo song later, and work with me or our sisters.

Suddenly, Im intrigued.

There were immediate reactions to the subtle suggestion.

Dont try to seduce our hyung, noona.

Thats right. Were so good to him.

Come on, say something, hyung.

I didnt answer.

As if he wasnt sure, he looked at the younger ones with a vague sense of anxiety.

What, why arent you answering?

I felt like laughing when I saw the guys who had teased me all day being anxious.

It felt refreshing.

I ate a piece of sushi and smiled.

The rice was very sweet.
