Chapter 90 Its Not All Bad

Time flew by, and Seon-woos first music show was almost over.

Kyunghwa still looked a bit wistful as he watched the screen.

Should I comfort him?

I glanced at Kyunghwa for a moment, but turned my head away when I felt he might notice.

No, never mind. There was no need to hurt his pride and make things worse.

I shook my head to myself and waited for Seon-woo to finish safely.

[The winner of the third week of Octobers Music Show is, Floss!]

[Congratulations!]

[Congratulations!]

[Leader Hwijin, please share your thoughts!]

Before I knew it, the final stage and the ranking ceremony were over. Floss won against a ballad singer who didnt show up for the live stage, and the encore stage began.

I felt bitter as I watched Seon-woo go to greet Kang Yu-geon, an old acquaintance, with a smile.

I couldnt hear what he was saying because the voice was off, but it seemed like he was happy to see him after a long time.

He he has no clue.

Seon-woo didnt monitor his SNS.

At least thats what I knew. We shared a room, and I would have noticed if he was looking at something weird on his phone.

Seong-won didnt know exactly what happened when he appeared on Star Discovery either.

Maybe Yi-jun and Kyunghwa didnt tell him because they thought he didnt need to know.

I should have given him a hint if I knew he would go and mingle with Kang Yu-geon like that. I sneaked a peek at Kyunghwa, and he seemed to have the same thought.

Kang Yu-geon must think Seon-woo is his prey.

Wouldnt he have some sense and realize that hes not that kind of person?

Seon-woo, on the screen, smiled brightly and said hello to Yu-geon, then walked off the stage with a skip.

Kang Yu-geon was trying desperately to keep a polite smile on his face, as if he couldnt harden his expression in front of the camera.

Our Seon-woo did something after all.

I hoped I could give Kang Yu-geon a bit of pain with his disguise.

Soon, Seon-woo returned to the waiting room, free of the microphone, earphones, and everything else.

Im done! I can go home now!

Seon-woo, who looked pure and lovely on the stage, but did his part well, turned into a three-year-old who was left at the waters edge in an instant.

I did well today, right?

He said, shining his eyes, and he didnt move until he heard the answer from me and Kyunghwa.

Yeah, you did a good job. You didnt make any mistakes and you finished the stage well.

Yeah! I practiced really hard to avoid mistakes!

We knew that. We were the ones who trained him not to talk nonsense when he was on the MC spot.

You did well. Lets go home and rest.

There were still some farewell greetings left, but there was no need to wait in standby anymore, so I was relieved.

Yeah!

I called the manager and he said he would arrive in about 10 minutes.

I brushed off the pollen on Seon-woos head and sorted out the things that needed to be returned, and the time passed quickly.

You all worked hard. Thanks for taking care of the youngest instead of me.

As we followed the managers instructions and headed down to the parking lot, we saw fans waiting for their favorite groups to leave.

Seon-woo, you did a great job today!

Go home and rest well!

Youre awesome!

Wow, your visuals are amazing.

See you next week!

There were about thirty of them, right?

It was a small number compared to other big groups, but it was more than I expected considering we didnt have a stage today.

Thank you!

As Seon-woo and I bowed to the fans, I felt a lump in my throat.

They were all precious children who had to save their time.

They waited for us for over six hours, from the rehearsal to the departure.

They couldnt all be living in Seoul, could they? I glanced at their faces and saw that some of them were much younger than I thought.

I felt sorry for these young kids who came up to Seoul from the morning to see idols.

Whats with that weird expression?

As soon as we got on the minivan, Kyunghwa glared at me and frowned.

What?

Youve been like that since earlier. You look like an old man whos trying to marry off his youngest son.

Its nothing.

The test period was coming to an end, and I seemed to be swayed by everything.

I sighed, calmed myself down, and uttered the magic sentence that would break all the emotional tension.

The kids who ran to Kyunghwa and left hate comments must be the same age as them.

Live your life dont do that, young friends. I quickly composed myself with a frozen expression of minus 17 degrees.

Wow, the clip is up already.

Kyunghwa suddenly exclaimed as he looked at something, and I leaned over to see what it was.

It was a YouTube video that had been edited and uploaded in sections from the live broadcast we had just sent out.

Is that from the official channel?

No. I think someone recorded and uploaded it.

Maybe the fans who missed the live broadcast couldnt wait for the official edited video, so they uploaded their own recordings.

Itll be deleted soon.

But it could still be a useful indicator to check the real-time reactions and see if we made any mistakes or did anything wrong.

Do you want to see the comments?

I asked Kyunghwa, and he glanced at Seon-woo.

Uh I dont care either way!

Then well look and filter out the good ones for you.

Seon-woo was the type who showed his thoughts on his actions and expressions, so we tried to prevent him from being exposed to hate comments as much as possible.

As for me I hadnt heard anything that bothered me yet. Kyunghwa had a mental breakdown once, but he recovered to some extent.

Seong-won didnt care about that kind of stuff at all, and Yi-jun would just say, Ah, Im pissed off! and go to the boxing gym to vent.

This guy he was nervous just from reading one chat during the live broadcast, so we decided it was better for him not to see it.

Anyway, we didnt need to monitor the reactions ourselves, so Kyunghwa slowly scrolled down to the bottom of the video.

[- Anniversary set 211017 D+1]

[ Wow, this is hilarious]

[ Did you register and send it right after D-day? LOL]

[- Its the first time I see both siblings love me and make it hard for me]

[ YA NA DOO]

[ Why are you interfering? Go away]

[- I dont mind this triangle relationship. Ill try to do my best for both of them]

[- This family has good genes]

[ At this point, Im really curious about the parents. Not in a bad way, but really]

[ Cant they have one more late child for the global K-pop industry and become national contributors?]

[ OMG, I was thinking the same thing]

Fortunately, most of the reactions were good. There were some negative opinions, but most of them didnt get much likes and got cursed in the comments.

It seemed inevitable that there would be hate comments for both Seon-woo and Seon-young.

The reactions are good. They say youre cute and lovely.

I deliberately captured some funny comments and posted them on the group chat.

[Me] Its not an official video, so itll be taken down soon. 7:25 PM

[Me] (Picture) 7:26 PM

Then, Yi-jun, who must have been home already, quickly checked and replied.

[YJ] Oh, its already up? 7:27 PM

[Me] Its not an official video. 7:27 PM

[YJ] Oh, I see. 7:28 PM

[YJ] But the reactions are good. 7:28 PM

[YJ] Did you film Noknok with Seon-young today? 7:29 PM

Did Seon-young already upload the video? I quickly replied.

[Me] Yeah, we filmed it during the waiting time. 7:30 PM

[YJ] Theres a video on Noknok. 7:31 PM

[YJ] (Link) 7:31 PM

When I saw the video that Yi-jun sent me, there was a Play Store screen telling me to download some app.

This I wont get hacked or anything if I download it, right?

During the Chinese business boom, Jo Young Food also attempted to enter the Chinese market but encountered difficulties, leading to the loss of the factory.

It would be too long to tell the whole story. But because of that experience, I was instinctively wary of that side.

Did you download Noknok?

When I glanced at Kyunghwa, he looked up and looked at me.

Well, I dont use the account, though.

Wow Everyone does it except me.

Then, Seon-woo answered with a cringe.

I dont do it either!

Yeah, I thought you wouldnt. I didnt bother to answer and just stroked Seon-woos head and asked Kyunghwa.

Can you check the link for me?

Sure. Ill open it now.

When Kyunghwa clicked the link on his phone, an account with 500,000 subscribers popped up.

Wow, theyre really working hard.

These days, its the era of self-PR where you have to keep showing content on YouTube or Noknok, but this was something you couldnt do unless you enjoyed it.

How many videos are there? There were hundreds of short clip videos in the recent posts that we were in.

Look at the comments first.

This time, it wasnt just about Seon-woo, but we were also in it, so I had to pay more attention to the content.

[- This is the power of an 8-year veteran girl group. They use three boy group members from their brothers agency as backup dancers]

[- Look at the queen Seon-youngs force. Siren siren, theyre in trouble if they mess up the choreography]

[- You guys know, if you want to have a handsome guy, you have to be a top star in the entertainment industry with your face first]

[ Are you crazy]

[- Seon-woo: Enjoying it because we share the same genes

Ise: Our Sebeoji is working hard today too

Kyungwha: Proving that he is the icon of diligence]

[ The youngest brothers who came to support are having a hard time]

[- Ise: Kids, this is how hard your dad works and earns money]

[ Head of the household father]

Hmm it was exactly the reaction I expected. The video must have spread to SNS as well.

I checked the feed with a rational inference and sure enough, everyone was losing their minds over the rice cake that poured out in a day.

[- Ah, Im going crazy Look at Sebeoji and Kyungjaegams expressions at the end of siren siren, Im crying]

[- The white mage who controls Sebeoji and Kyungjaegam]

Kyungjaegam was a nickname that came up while doing the project to boost Kyungwhas presence with gag content in Boys in Crisis.

It was a plan that made everyone react crazily as if a huge star had appeared whenever Kyungwha showed up.

[- Yes, senior. I shouted siren siren three times. There are a lot of likes. I saved the angle. Siren siren]

[ How do you come up with such ideas?]

[- Look at this, this is the power of a girl group]

[ Ah, Im going crazy. It feels like Im experiencing the emperors proxy who has 8748578 male concubines in the sponsorship]

They all seemed to like it too. Well it was funny to me too. The problem was that I was in that funny video.

They should have laughed happily. Yeah.

It wasnt anything too weird, just a bit ridiculous.

Then, another message from Yi-jun came up in the group chat.

[YJ] Hey, look at this 7:37 PM

[YJ] Theres already an article out 7:37 PM

[YJ] <link> 7:38 PM

Article?

I didnt think I did anything that would make an article.

The word article always had a strange power to make people anxious.

I thought it would be nothing, but I still clicked on the link that Yi-jun sent with a slightly nervous feeling.
