Chapter 85:

What?

When he asked me what I was talking about, Seon-young looked furious, as if she couldnt believe I was ignoring her while she was talking.

It would be good for her to think from the listeners perspective for a bit.

Seon-young talked way too much, beyond the normal range of people.

I had never met anyone who talked this much, not even in elementary school.

I asked you if you could appear on Sweet Road. You kept nodding and responding, so I thought you were listening. Dont tell me you were just pretending to listen all this time?

Thats when Yi-jun, who realized I was in trouble, added fuel to the fire.

Wow, hyung, thats too much. How can you not listen properly when Seon-young noona said so much and just play dumb?

Hey, kid. You were also listening with one ear and letting it out the other.

No, I was just thinking for a moment. We have a comeback soon, so I have to keep in mind the group schedule too

Then Seon-young quickly seized the opportunity and shot back.

We just go to the store, eat, interview the customers, and play some games with the pedestrians. Thats all we do! Theres no waiting time, and we just finish the schedule neatly and quickly. Its really fast. You can also fit it in between other schedules like Tetris!

Really Even her diction was good, and the words stuck in my brain.

There was no point in refusing here She was a member of the family, and it wouldnt be good for the atmosphere.

This is when its best to use the company as an excuse.

Ill talk to the manager hyung. It might be difficult if the company doesnt approve.

I didnt even say I would do it, but she seemed to understand it as a yes, and her face brightened.

I hope it works out! Ill appreciate it!

No, I didnt say I would do it.

I dont know what the overall vibe of Polaris is, but If the remaining six members are all like this, I wont be able to stand it.

If I appear, I might end up as a porter who withers and dies under the pressure of the energetic girl group seniors.

I dont really hate doing that

But it seemed obvious that I wouldnt be able to do anything else once I went through that schedule.

Yeah, I hope so too.

I tried my best to smile for business and waited for the practice to resume.

***

Wow That was amazing.

On the way back.

As soon as he got on the minivan that the manager had arrived for the pickup, Yi-jun stuck out his tongue.

Our noona talks a lot, right?

It wasnt just a little bit. This was the first time in my life that I saw such a level of speech.

But shes not a bad person. She has a nice personality too!

That seemed true. But being a nice person and having the same frequency with someone were two different things.

Shes not the type I would ever get along with.

I basically liked quiet people. Calm and doing their work neatly and without making mistakes.

When I described it like that, there was one person around me. It was Ryu Kyunghwa.

I wouldnt have minded meeting her somewhere else. If she had joined our company as a new employee, I would have thought she was a good one.

Anyway, thats another story.

I searched my pocket and took out my phone. It was to watch the final version of the music video that the manager had sent me during practice.

Seon-woo, you too

I wanted to ask him if he wanted to watch it with me, but I couldnt finish my sentence.

To become a hot topic, you need to at least have a clear distinction of the faces of each member.

Among us, the first fan page was started by Seong-won, and the first fancam was done by Seon-woo.

Things were slowly getting resolved one by one.

Last month was unusually full of misfortunes.

I decided not to be suspicious of this peaceful time. I shook off my anxiety and put down my phone and closed my eyes.

***

When you have a schedule to wait for, time flies by frighteningly fast. Just like I felt on the day of our first practice, the day of our appearance came in the blink of an eye.

Dont be nervous and do well.

Yi-jun waved his hand at Kyunghwa, me, and Seon-woo with a regretful look.

Originally, Yi-jun wanted to go with us so badly that he threw a tantrum, but coincidentally, he had a forgotten appointment with his grandmother.

Ah, I want to go to the music show waiting room and have fun too.

Then why dont you call your grandma now?

Kyunghwa sighed as if to tell him to stop whining and answered, and Yi-jun shook his head.

No, I cant. Grandma is still recovering, and you never know when the elderly will get sick.

Fine, then be a good grandson.

Seong-won had left earlier for a meeting related to the Star Discovery commemorative concert.

He left a little earlier, so he would probably come back earlier than us or around the same time.

Kyunghwa stuck out his tongue briefly and left the entrance with Seon-woo. Come to think of it did Kyunghwa solve the problem that he got into on a whim?

I wanted to check it myself, but that would be like crushing his pride.

Our goldfish he cant die before we make a comeback

His mind had exploded once when Seon-woo turned his stomach upside down with the MC casting. He needed to be treated carefully so that it wouldnt happen again.

The rest of them were not very delicate. I had to pay attention to them.

But I still wished I could help him if he had any financial problems. I felt the same regret.

He was in a situation where he didnt have a penny in his house, and he didnt succeed as an idol he must have been struggling in many ways.

I kept worrying about it, but there was nothing I could do for him right now. Then it was better to focus on what I could do now.

Did you forget anything?

I asked as if I was taking care of elementary school kids, and Seon-woo answered with a surprised look.

I didnt forget anything, I packed everything!

Okay, then thats good.

As we left the dorm entrance, it was clear that it was now the time when autumn was turning into winter. The sun was still not up.

We had to hurry because we had to get to the salon by 6:30.

Anyway, were going to do the stage makeup and hair again when we get there, so theyll just do the dry and basic makeup for us.

The manager gave us a brief explanation after seeing me and Kyunghwa.

We didnt expect to do anything amazing since we werent even going on stage.

Sure, well just cheer quietly from the side.

I put on the bodycam and mic that the PD of Boys in Crisis had asked me to turn on whenever I did any activities that he could use for the show, and got into the minivan.

Another long day was starting.

Please dont let any weird accidents happen.

Seon-woo was reciting the cue sheet he had received in advance, his eyes spinning.

He seemed to have memorized the script yesterday. But I could only hope he would do well, since Seon-young had taken good care of him.

Another long day was starting.
