Chapter 78 Is Life Just About Getting What You Want?

Ugh, Im so tired

Ye-jun yawned loudly and scratched his cheeks as he slumped in the back seat of the minivan.

I know youre out of your mind after working all day, but have some dignity as an idol.

Kyunghwa grumbled as he leaned on Ye-juns shoulder, exhausted himself.

Everyone worked hard today. Seong-won did the most, but the others must have had a hard time too.

The manager, who was sitting in the drivers seat, finally gave us some words of encouragement.

We had been through a lot Im sure the other members felt the same, but I had faced more twists and turns than anyone.

Im going to take a shower and go to bed as soon as we get home.

Kyunghwa looked at his phone screen with a soulless gaze and blinked weakly.

I glanced back and peeked at what he was looking at.

It was a collection of supportive posts for Kyunghwa on a community site.

Because of the public outcry over the Floss fandom, who had been constantly attacking Climax, Kyunghwa also received a lot of ridicule along with them.

Luckily I dont know if this was due to some item or skill effect the main account of the fake account that had been leading the mockery of Kyunghwa was exposed, and it seemed that a wave of support for Kyunghwa had started.

[- Arent these some tempo fans really pathetic? Their own group is not doing badly, but they are trying to step on a group that is just starting to get some recognition. Their malicious intent is so creepy.]

[- These guys are doing this on their sub-accounts and keep trying to attach weird keywords to Kyunghwas name. Its so disgusting.]

[- Why do they have to do such negative fan activities? Lets just look at the good things and live happily Why do they live like that ugh]

[The message book for Kyunghwas support is up! Please leave your cheering messages in the comments here, and we will organize them nicely and send them to the agency.]

Not only the fans of Climax, but also those who didnt like the Floss fandom before, left their messages of support one by one.

It was a bit hard to be happy in this situation, but I felt relieved that it seemed to be resolved somehow.

Lets do rock-paper-scissors first to decide who will shower first when we get home.

Kyunghwa, who was slumped down, suddenly got up as if he remembered something important. Ye-jun, who was resting his chin on Kyunghwas head, got hit hard on his forehead by Kyunghwas chin and let out a stupid scream.

Ouch.

Stop ouching and get ready for rock-paper-scissors.

Under Kyunghwas determined leadership, Seong-won and Sunwoo, who didnt say a word as if they were exhausted, reluctantly stretched out their hands.

Rock, paper, scissors!

The first round was a tie with two fists, one scissors, and two papers.

Again, rock, paper, scissors!

The second round was a clear win or lose with two scissors and three papers.

Yay!

Kyunghwa and Sunwoo, who were making a fuss because they wanted to shower first, were scissors.

What about the rest?

Ye-jun, who was looking at his paper with a resentful eye, blinked and looked at me and Seong-won.

Of course, he didnt blink once when he looked at Seong-won.

Im good. You guys go ahead and shower.

I was so tired that I didnt even have the energy to shower even if I went to the dorm right away.

When I closed my eyes, the things that happened in the world that wasnt real, and the things that happened at the concert hall just before, came to my mind vividly.

Okay, thank you~.

Ye-jun let out a sigh of relief and whistled as he stretched out his body on the seat again.

Seongwon looked at me silently and then opened his mouth quietly.

If you want to shower first, go ahead.

Whats wrong with you? I shook my head, no.

No. Im too tired to even have the energy to shower.

It was a lame excuse in front of the guy who had just performed three songs in a row by himself, from the first round to the final, with only a short break in between.

But I had gone through something incredible that none of you knew about.

I didnt bother telling you, because you would have just treated me like a lunatic. It was better to be pitied than ridiculed.

Fine.

Seong-won nodded briefly and closed his eyes again, crossing his arms. If he had gone on stage without a mask today, he would have taken a legendary photo.

His performance had captivated the audience with nothing but passion and courage, without any seductive tricks or skilled charms.

What was the total score then? The gap was so big in the viewers vote that everyone quickly added up the scores in their heads.

And soon, regretful sighs were heard everywhere.

Ugh This show is so dirty.

They showed us a good stage and then ruined our mood.

[Final Result]

First round: 94 points, second round: 98 points

The final score flashed on the scoreboard and the whole stage was dyed in the color of the second round contestant.

[Contestant number 7! Congratulations! Now, please reveal your identities!]

The MC led the seventh contestant to the winners throne and sprinkled flower petals from the sky.

On the stage where only a weak spotlight shone on his head, Seong-won took off the mask that had been covering his face tightly.

He must have been very hot inside, his long hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to his face. As he turned his head from side to side, even the droplets of sweat flying looked like a scene from a photo shoot.

Ive said it many times, but he was a guy who had such a handsome face that no one could criticize.

Although he didnt win by a petty margin, everyone knew who the real winner was.

Before the winners interview, the MC handed the microphone to Seong-won, the runner-up.

Contestant number 24 was the main vocal of the five-member boy group Climax, Son Seong-won! Seong-won, please share your feelings about being with us until the last stage. Please keep it brief!

Seong-won received the microphone with his cheeks flushed.

I was really happy to show you all the stages I prepared today.

He smiled faintly on his face, which was unusually eloquent.

And, I sincerely thank you all for being with me until the last stage.

As a smile appeared on Seongwons face, who had been sullen for a long time, I felt someone holding their breath from one side of the audience.

And the members who were with me today

Seongwon muttered something as if he wanted to say more, but he handed the microphone to the MC with a shy gesture.

Yeah. It was a satisfying stage.

Thats enough.

I looked up at the stage as if I was watching my stubborn son, and covered my face with the back of my hand.

My eyes were sore, and I felt like I would burst into tears at any moment.

After going through a roller coaster of emotions, I felt relieved as soon as all the schedules were over.

I was worried about how Seongwon would feel if he didnt win. But he said he had no regrets because he would have won the stage if it wasnt for that weird bonus.

He would be lying if he said he wasnt angry. But he was content with this.

He was so excited and happy about the experience of singing with the crowd that he brought up the concert as soon as he met the manager.

The concert is something we can think about after we do well with our comeback.

Kyunghwa and I pulled Seongwon back to reality, and he made a funny face.

This guy. He really loves singing.

I remembered how he looked so happy on the stage, when he seemed to be gloomy no matter what he did.

I want to support him so he can keep singing.

I couldnt help but feel thrilled after seeing such an amazing stage.

I want to succeed. I really do. I want to be with these members even after a month.

I was surprised that I had forgotten about revenge.

Everyone, get some rest. It seems like the internet mess has been sorted out as a misunderstanding among yourselves, so dont worry too much.

Yes, go ahead.

We ran for a while and arrived at the dorm, and we didnt know what was going on with us until we saw off the manager.

Some of them dragged their tired bodies to the third floor to take a shower, and the rest collapsed on the sofa.

Ah

Ye-jun stretched out his body and dropped his phone, then he suddenly got up as if he was shocked.

Holy shit! Hey, wake up!

He slapped Seongwons cheek as if it was not my business.

What the hell, are you crazy?

Seongwon opened his eyes with a frown.

Im not crazy, look at this!

Whats wrong with him?

I dragged my tired body and peeked at the screen over Ye-juns shoulder.
