The Skill of an Idol That Never Fails

5 episodes

In the meantime, Jeong Ki-hoon, who was constantly on the phone, exclaimed in relief.

“Sister, Camellia said that the kids lent me some extra clothes.”

“Idol clothes?”

I said because Park Hee-young didn’t like it.

“Oh, it will be beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.”

“You drive.”

“Today, no one really says anything to me.”

I said so, but no one in the car answered.

Even Park Hee-young pretended to snort and was embarrassed, but then said it out of aegyo.

“Manager Jung, you really saved me today. Haven’t you been in bed for almost forty hours? How did you wake up?”

“I just woke up suddenly feeling creepy.”

“What is it, terrifying? Is there anyone in your family who has been sent down? No, I’m not talking! Drive!”

I was so nervous that I felt like my hair was standing still and I couldn’t sleep anymore. Park Hee-young’s hair is vague, but she manages to organize it, and Yoo Seon-ah is super focused and quickly finished the makeup.

Junggi-hoon continued to look at the phone and then said, pulling his hair out.

“Oh, how come you don’t have 230 shoes?”

“I was in a hurry, so I wore a trash bag. You must be crazy.”

Park Hee-young made a cry.

No matter what the riots from behind, I risked my life and crossed Seoul. Three months after I got my license… … .

When I arrived at the Olympic Park, there were rows of tents waiting for singers behind the temporary wall that was built around the stage. Everyone is busy preparing there, but our singer started rehearsing for the camera as soon as we arrived.

While Park Hee-Young was changing clothes, I was wearing shoes all the way through, so I unintentionally looked at people’s shoes and found a pair of shoes that seemed to be around 230. These were the shoes worn by Ye-young Lee, one of the idol’s stylists chosen by the people.

I frantically ran to Ye-young Lee with her suitcase.

“sister! Ye-young’s older sister!”

“uh? What, what, why are you here?”

Ye-young Lee also heard that I was living in a hikikomori, and I am surprised to see me as if I had seen a dead person. I asked without even having time to explain the situation.

“Sister, what size are your shoes?”

“shoes? two hundred and thirty. why?”

“I’m sorry, but can I borrow your shoes?”

Meanwhile, Park Hee-young followed and pointed to the slider she was wearing.

“Swap with this one!”

“yes? This is 55,000 won… … .”

“Oh, good, so good.”

Park Hee-young said, taking off the slider with the luxury logo she was wearing, and received a pair of shoes worth 55,000 won. Yoo Seon-ah applied some oil to the plain, light pink shoes and sprinkled the glitter she had on them, so they stuck to the shoes.

In addition, Jung Gi-hoon attached the artificial flower he had obtained somewhere to the shoe strap. The two got along well because they had been working together for a long time.

While matching the shoes with the outfit, Ye-young Lee said to me carefully.

“Haewon-ah, the First Light kids are also here, so say hi… … a bit right?”

In the group that debuted through an audition for ‘People’s Choice Idol’, the group that once again consisted of the remaining members excluding the members who were found to be falsified was First Light.

First Light’s performance in Predictive Dreams wasn’t very good. It seems that almost no album has been released since the 2nd or 3rd year. If you hold on for about a year from now, you won’t see much of the members in the music industry.

I didn’t answer, but Ye-young Lee nodded as if she knew my heart and stopped.

Then Park Hee-young took a deep breath and called me.

“Chul Soon-ah, let’s fight.”

When Cheol Soon-i looked around at me, Yoo Seon-ah smiled and slapped my arm.

“You’re Haewon.”

“Me?”

“I was drinking yesterday, and Hee-young unnie said that you didn’t like your name and that you were too pretty. Iron-soon.”

“No, it’s a name that my parents took care of.”

Whether I was unfair or not, Jung Ki-hoon joined in and laughed and laughed as a group. It’s a sin that I’m the youngest

I sighed and reluctantly took a fighting pose. Park Hee-young’s expression brightened because she laughed out loud after changing her name.

Luckily, the entire stage was over 3 minutes, and while I was checking the stage, Hee-Young Park had a quick conversation with the sound director. And he went up on stage and said.

“Everyone who came to see Hee-Young Park! I love you, you!”

Since it is a festival where most of the idols are involved, it seems that he intends to attract the attention of idol fans with a comment before the start. Seeing that he tunes his comments in the midst of such a rush, he has a real natural stage constitution.

I can only think of stage control as an area of innate talent.

After checking the location of the toilets and passageways in the concert hall, and buying snacks, I was now really clean up to the last remaining stamina. I told Yoo Seon-ah and Jung Ki-hoon.

“The shoes… … You know Yeyoung’s sister? I borrowed it from my sister, so please bring it there. I’ll go to that car and sleep.”

“But Cheol-ah, I don’t have a license yet… … .”

“I also have a closet license… … .”

With that or not, I waved my arms not to talk, and went into the car and, as soon as I sat in the passenger seat, reclined the chair all the way back. And when I was going to sleep, the status window appeared.

[Three silver tickets will be given as a reward (overcoming the crisis).]

[You have obtained a silver ticket.]

[×3]

[You can acquire D~B grade potions.]

“Later, later.”

Roulette or whatever, I should sleep first.

* * *

I felt my life threatened while sleeping, so I opened my eyes and looked to the side to see Park Hee-young driving.

He had been driving for 10 years longer than me, so he had no skill, but his eyes were half asleep. Even sleeping next to me.

I muttered a small ‘roulette’ to say no. So Park Hee-young responded.

“yes? What?”

“Yes? Uh, I dreamed of playing a game.”

I replied right away and played the roulette twice.

[D-Class Stamina Increase Potion]

[Fatigue in the current state is reduced by 5%.]

[C-Class Stamina Increase Potion]

[The current state of fatigue is reduced by 10%.]

Fortunately, the two most needed potions now came out. I said once I drank both bottles of it.

“Now I will drive.”

“No, you rest. It’s a company soon.”

“I think I’m going to make an accident. In the middle of Seoul, when Park Hee-young makes an accident, there is a riot.”

At my words, Park Hee-young was forced to stop the car. I relaxed and took the steering wheel. Park Hee-young said she was sorry to fall asleep, so she sat in the passenger seat and looked at me.

“Yong-gyu, keep sleeping. Oh, how can you be so irresponsible?”

I’m sorry, I kept muttering, so I couldn’t help but laugh.

“I’m not tired, so I’m sleeping.”

“Our Cheol-soon has really great stamina. After all, I’m old enough to chew on reinforcing bars.”

Park Hee-young said, and as soon as she leaned her head back in peace, she fell asleep. To be honest, Park Hee-young is the most tiring without even considering it.

I said to the two men trying to break somehow from behind.

“My brother and sister are just sleeping.”

“Ugh, hey, how are you sleeping?”

“Yeah, the youngest is suffering like this. We can’t sleep.”

“You can really sleep.”

Even if I said that, the two of them stayed awake until the end.

Still, there was no energy to speak, so the car was quiet. So heading to Yeouido, I strangely felt pleasure. After overcoming a crisis, I gained confidence.

* * *

Just as I was about to end a trembling day like that, Park Jong-ryeol, the representative of the agency, who was impressed with today’s work, called me to a drink.

Eventually, I was brought back to the drinking party. Park Hee-young, who was with her, said excitedly.

“Accidents happen anyway. If I wasn’t really Cheol-soon, I almost made a punk. Imagine you punked at an event like this.”

It was no wonder that this guy’s agency was short-lived because of alcohol. Even the representative of the agency and trot singer Jong-ryeol Park. No, including CEO Park Jong-ryeol.

There were a lot of trot singers in the agency, but they often had dinner parties even though they were very busy, probably because they all had a close relationship with their seniors and juniors.

CEO Park Jong-ryeol handed him a glass of wine and said.

“Chul-soon, I don’t drink alcohol unless it’s the kids I really care about.”

“thank you.”

As soon as I put my drink in my mouth and put it down, Jong-ryeol Park patted me on the back.

“The main character makes a toast.”

“Do I dare?”

With my back pushed, I got up and grabbed my glass. If you do, you have to do it.

“Then if you say I love you, I would appreciate it if you would do it.”

Drunk people laughed at the toast using Park Hee-young’s hit song. Park Hee-young and CEO Park are looking at me like a child.

When I shouted ‘I love you’, the trot singers and staff shouted ‘You’ loudly and drank alcohol.

I drank like crazy and when I woke up in the morning, the alarm rang and I found it was the practice room, and next to me were the remnants of those who had come to the company and ran to the last minute.

The people who have to work tomorrow morning anyway were the practice room that followed CEO Park, who told him to go to the company and get a blood transfusion of alcohol with a new heart while watching the rising sun. In fairness, CEO Park Jong-ryeol was also down.

I quietly pretended not to know and left the practice room.

“Oh, f*ck you, I’m going to get my liver pierced.”

I walked down the office hallway, checking my schedule again.

There is a large awards ceremony filming overseas this weekend. It’s being hosted by the broadcasting station where Seon-ah Kook was organized, so the thought of avoiding people who know me makes me far away.

In order to take as little stress as possible from the schedule I had to go anyway, I went to the smoking area to find a cigarette and lit it with my hands. After the nicotine is sucked in, it is only then that I wake up a bit.

By the way, it seems that something very shocking happened at this event… … .

I tried to remember, but it didn’t come to mind easily.

* * *

Travel to Bangkok, where the awards ceremony was scheduled, was made in business class without first class.

Park Hee-young, of course, all three of us. It was because of the company’s policy that he couldn’t let Park Hee-young, the company’s treasure, fall alone, and this was all thanks to the profits Park Hee-young earned.

“Iron, take good care of it. This is the plane ticket, this is my sister’s passport.”

“Can I really go? I can only speak English, good morning, I’m fine, thank you.”

“It’s okay, the local staff will do everything for you.”

The only time I’ve been to a foreign country so far has been to go to England to see my sister’s exhibition when I was in middle school. I’m glad I went there too.

Hee-young Park made fun of me with a serious face because they said that I only went abroad once with my parents when I was young.

“Chul-soon, do you remember where you take off your shoes when you get on a plane?”

“Oh, I’ve been on that plane.”

“In business, you really have to take off your shoes.”

“Really?”

“Of course.”

Ugh, is it okay to make fun of people like that?

It was childish, but Park Hee-young strangely made fun of me and felt good all day.
