Chapter 109:

Everyone was excited about the vacation, but then cold water was poured on us. Kyunghwa asked in disbelief, denying the reality.

“Did Floss really say they would participate?”

Of course, Floss was not the kind of group that would say thank you and go out when we called them.

It was rather the opposite.

The program had to work hard to cast Floss, and Floss had to fit their schedule like Tetris.

In the process, I had snatched the opportunity that they had accepted first and then gave up later when they found a better spot.

I couldn’t believe that Floss would appear in the competition program as a group, not as individuals.

“Is Floss really coming?”

Did we all get struck by lightning? I rubbed my eyes and looked at my phone.

“Well, that’s what happened. The company must have negotiated with them. They don’t tell me the details because it’s confidential.”

The manager who had worked on Floss-related tasks for a long time didn’t know anything about it?

Was he lying because he couldn’t tell us, or did he really not know?

I couldn’t tell the truth.

“It’s a bit surprising. I thought they would definitely refuse.”

“Me too. Well... the company must have made an offer that Floss would agree to. But I don’t know what it is.”

Did they give them some advantage in terms of accounting? Floss wouldn’t move unless it was that much of a benefit.

I remembered how the community was buzzing when the rumor that LJ Media was planning a boy group competition program came out.

Everyone was begging, please don’t let my group appear.

Even the fans of unknown groups who had to go out as soon as they got an offer.

I understood why they opposed it.

The members get too tired mentally and physically because they spend too much time on the show.

They get injured more often because they want more cool and flashy stages.

The ranking competition stress makes both the members and the fans suffer.

It was something like that. I understood their feelings, but...

For the contestants who needed recognition, there was no reason not to go out on a program that guaranteed basic attention.

“Wow... so now we have to compete with Floss?”

Yi-jun smiled as if he thought something interesting would happen.

“You’re laughing at this?”

Kyunghwa hit Yi-jun’s head with the part of the chopstick that didn’t touch his mouth.

“Ow, wow, I almost cried because it hurt so much. This is assault, assault.”

“Stop talking nonsense.”

“Hey, hey, don’t fight. Anyway, that’s what happened, so I’ll let you know as soon as the schedule comes out. Just know that it’s confirmed.”

Yi-jun rubbed the spot where he was hit by Kyunghwa and quickly answered as if he understood.

“Yes, go ahead~.”

“Yeah, it’s a rare day off, so behave yourselves.”

“Yep~!”

Whew. As soon as the unexpected call ended, sighs came out from everywhere.

“Why are you all sighing without even trying? We can win, you know.”

Yi-jun’s eyes sparkled as he slurped up a mouthful of noodles from the stew.

“It’s not about winning or losing, you know. The fandoms are already fighting like crazy on the internet... I’m worried that it’ll be a disaster if we have to compete against them.”

“We have arrived at the exclusive entrance. There are two rooms on each floor, but the entrance and the elevator are separated, so you can use it comfortably by yourself. The private infinity pool on the balcony is the biggest pride of this room, so I recommend you to try it at least once. It’s the most private pool where you can enjoy the night view of Seoul.”

The staff opened the door with a card key, and the top view that could only be seen from the high-rise floor came into view.

“Wow...”

Expensive things were worth the price. Seong-won, who had no reaction at all while riding the elevator, looked quite surprised this time.

“The interior furniture are all imported products made by French professional craftsmen. I hope you like the elegant and luxurious premium interior designed by Kim Jae-hyung, a world-class space designer.”

I liked it. There was no place that was not aesthetically beautiful wherever I looked.

The golden patterns swayed on the cream-colored carpet that had no stains, and the ceiling had a splendid chandelier that looked like it belonged in a palace of mirrors.

“It’s amazing...”

Kyunghwa looked a bit overwhelmed by the space and went to the balcony.

“When you go out to the balcony, there are exclusive slippers prepared, so please use them comfortably.”

“Ah.”

Kyunghwa, who was about to go out with his shoes off and socks on, blushed and came back in and put his feet in the slippers.

The endless open view and the rippling hot water pool were connected, and it felt like I was in an open-air bath.

“This is great~.”

Seon-woo rolled up his pants and took off his socks and tried to put his feet in the pool, but the PD rushed in and stopped him.

“Wait a minute, Seon-woo! We have a schedule to do first, so please wait a little bit before entering the pool.”

“Ah...! Oh, I’m sorry.”

Seon-woo looked embarrassed as he jumped out of the water like a carp.

“Okay, then, first of all, please choose your own bed and organize your luggage. We will start with the What’s in My Carrier! Show your belongings one by one!”

It was nothing more than a scaled-up version of what idols do on their self-content these days, but it was a content that we had received several requests before.

As we looked around the living room and picked our beds, the main camera came towards me.

“Okay, then! Today, the main character of this luxurious sponsorship! How about we start with Ise?”

“Huh?”

I was surprised by the unexpected attention and stepped back without knowing.

“Come on! Choose right away!”

There were two king-size beds and two single beds.

There were two single beds, so everyone except one pair could use their own bed.

“How about we decide the order by rock-paper-scissors and take the first one?”

It seemed better to do this than to awkwardly end up sleeping with someone else in the same bed by first-come-first-served.

“Oh, that’s a good idea.”

“I agree.”

“I’m, well, okay with it...!”

“You have terrible sleeping habits. No one would want to share a bed with you.”

As the local broadcasts blared loudly from everywhere, the PD gladly accepted my proposal.

“Great! Let’s get started right away!”

I would prefer to have my own bed, but if I had to share one with someone...

Seong-won was too awkward for my liking, Yi-jun seemed like he would toss and turn a lot, and Seon-woo had a vicious sleepwalking habit that I wanted to avoid at all costs.

Please, just let me sleep alone. The odds were in my favor, anyway.

Please!

I silently prayed as I reached for the cloth bag.
