I Became a Producer Who Rewrites Idols

16 – Scout (5)

“… ….”

“Hey, there, that…” ….”

I picked up Jo Min-joo and Koo Ga-eun in the company car and brought them to the Lucky Seven Entertainment training room.

The two stayed still in the car without saying anything,

They gave off a very uncomfortable aura to each other.

“You two should introduce yourself to each other.”

At my words, Jo Min-ju turns her head to Gu Ga-eun,

“Jo Min-joo.”

He only revealed his name.

It was extremely cold.

“Oh, yes…” ! Um, I’m Gu Ga-eun… !”

Gu Ga-eun seemed a little scared by Jo Min-joo, who looked a bit delinquent.

… He must have been smoking before I came, and there was a cigarette smell on his body.

“I know. “Daughter of a rich family.”

“Yeah, that’s right…” ? But my family is not particularly rich….”

It happens sometimes.

If anyone can see that you were born into a rich family, but you actually think you are from a working-class family.

It must have sounded very strange to Jo Min-ju, whose family was devastated.

“Looking at your school uniform, it looks like you go to the same school as me. What grade and class are you in?” ?”

Still, Gu Ga-eun tried her best to have a conversation with Jo Min-joo.

“…… 2Nd grade, 1st class. “Same class as you.”

“Yes… ? Really… ?”

However, I ended up making the other person quite uncomfortable.

Because she didn’t even know the names of her classmates.

Jo Min-joo came towards me, lifted her heel, and placed her mouth next to my ear.

And she whispered so softly that Gu Ga-eun could not hear.

“… “Uncle, I’m willing to listen to whatever you say, but do you really have to do a duo with him?”

Instead of speaking, I nodded her head.

Jo Min-joo sighed and went back to Gu Ga-eun.

“Hey… …. Go, go, go…. Gaeun…….”

Even though I just normally call her classmate by name,

… It stuttered like a buffering video.

[Name: Jo Min-joo]

[Age: 18]

[Fatigue: 86]

[Vocal: 23 / Dance: 16 / Talking: 33 / Visual: 43]

[Current Thoughts: Lady, I didn’t have any friends….]

Fatigue was high.

Today is Gu Ga-eun’s first day, so she should just do some simple vocal training and then send her back to her dorm.

Raising her abilities was important, but the priority was to get Jo Min-joo and Goo Ga-eun to become friends first.

Anyway, I had arranged accommodation in advance, so I had to let them live together so we had no choice but to become close friends.

“Yes… ? Why… ?”

Gu Ga-eun answered while looking at Jo Min-ju a little.

“It’s nothing…” .”

“Okay… ?”

For the next five minutes, the training room was filled with silence….

The one who broke the silence was a vocal trainer who entered the training room.

“Hello… ?”

Still, I wonder if this awkward atmosphere had a strong effect on the vocal trainer as well.

The vocal trainer also kept an eye on Jo Min-joo and Koo Ga-eun.

“Trainer, today we are both practicing singing for the first time in our lives, so I ask that you keep it light, short, enjoyable, and like it’s a hobby.”

“Ah, yes, I understand, producer.”

Even if idols are not professional singers, idols and singing are inseparable.

In the end, idols also needed to have some attachment to their songs.

Trainees do this over several years, but these two street scouts are ordinary people.

We had to condense the path the trainee had taken and let them experience it.

“Minju, Ga-eun. Now, you will be the singing teacher for the two of us.”

“… Hello.” “Oh, hello… !”

Jo Min-joo lightly nodded her head, and Koo Ga-eun bowed deeply enough that the back of her head fell in front of her shoulder.

I wondered if it was the difference between Jo Min-joo, who inevitably experienced reality from a young age, and Koo Ga-eun, who never once suspected anyone from a wealthy family background.

Party—.

The vocal trainer clapped his hands once and said.

“The most basic thing is breathing. “As long as you breathe well, you won’t be told you can’t sing when you go to karaoke with your friends.”

I proceeded as lightly as possible to suit my request.

Fortunately, when the lesson began, everyone listened to the vocal trainer and followed it faithfully.

… In the middle, Gu Ga-eun asked, “What are the soft palate and larynx…?” ?” When I asked the question, the vocal trainer was a little embarrassed.

“”Seu…….””

The two of them placed both hands on the solar plexus and lower abdomen, respectively, following the guidance of the vocal trainer.

Then I took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, causing my lower abdomen to move inward.

“That’s right. “In reality, when singing, you don’t just sing with abdominal breathing, but you need to learn it to some extent.”

I can do this as well, so I tried following along.

… Instead of my lower abdomen, my solar plexus kept going inside.

Unlike Jo Min-joo and Koo Ga-eun, who quickly adapted to abdominal breathing after doing it a few times.

As expected, I wasn’t good at singing.

[Name: Jo Min-joo]

[Vocal: 23 → 27]

[Name: Gu Ga-eun]

[Vocal: 14 → 20]

The two’s vocal abilities have already improved.

Vocal trainer also said, “He learns very quickly.” Did.

As expected, because there were students who learned well, the vocal trainer also had fun teaching them.

Squeak—.

Someone entered the training room.

“Producer… !” “Producer!”

Cursed Dolls members were Choi Joo-yoon, Kang Eva, and Gong Si-on.

Instead of speaking, Eva Kang bowed her head in greeting.

“What’s going on?”

“I’m just curious about the kids that the producer scouted this time!”

The three Cursed Dolls members approached Jo Min-joo and Koo Ga-eun, who were practicing their breathing.

And then he slowly lowered his head from top to bottom, as if scanning with his eyes.

[Name: Gong Si-on]

[Current thought: I also thought about how pretty she is, and it’s no big deal.]

[Name: Joo-yoon Choi]

[Current Thoughts: Still, we have an advantage at this level… !!]

[Name: Eva Kang]

[Current Thoughts: When I heard that I was scouted, I wondered if there was anything special about him, but it doesn’t seem like there was anything like that. What on earth are you thinking, producer? If you start from the basics like this, it will take a few years before you can get on stage….]

Kangeva still had a lot on her mind.

Gong Shi-on and Choi Joo-yoon seemed to have come to keep Jo Min-joo and Koo Ga-eun in check.

… The fact that they came together to keep things in check does that mean the three of them banded together?

I was glad that our unity seemed to have improved, but how on earth are these three planning on dating me?

You’re not really planning to share me and make me your lover.

Originally, the [Idol Producing] Game only produces one person at a time.

But in reality, not in games, since we are a group, we cannot produce just one person at a time.

So, the story was originally supposed to proceed with one idol,

I woke up at the same time as several idols.

The event that Choi Joo-yoon and Gong Si-on came to my room on a holiday two weeks ago,

It was not in the original game story.

The Cursed Dolls gradually moved in a direction that I did not know about.

“Producer…… ! Now, can you just talk to us for a moment… ?”

Choi Joo-yoon looked up while gently squeezing the back of my hand.

I maintained my composure and tried not to blush as much as possible.

… When he looked up at me with a slightly teary expression, he was cute and not funny.

“I understand.”

Choi Joo-yoon smiled, grabbed my right hand, and led me.

Gongsi Temperature I held my left hand tightly.

Eva Kang followed closely behind me.

A situation where three idols surround me.

It felt good….

But I remembered something unfortunate and sad so as not to get too excited.

I could have won 50,000 won in the lottery, but the payment deadline passed so I didn’t get it.

I wondered how far the three Cursed Dolls members were taking me,

He approached the warehouse and opened the door.

… They pushed me into it.

The three also entered the warehouse and closed the door tightly.

Then Gong Shi-on pushed a large and heavy-looking box and placed it in front of the door.

“Hey, everyone… ?”

What kind of situation is this?

Kidnapping?

Are they really going to force me to do this and that here?

I remembered that Gong Si-on brought condoms the other day.

… I was surprised to find it in my wallet before I knew it.

Because it was an expensive condom, I didn’t throw it away because it was a waste.

“… ….”

Eva Kang brought a chair from the warehouse and looked at my face.

It meant to sit here.

I was nervous, but I sat down.

Kang Eva suddenly came from behind and put her hands on her shoulders.

For a moment she was startled and her body flinched.

Gong Shi-on and Choi Ju-yoon also came close to me.

Then, like when he dragged me in earlier, he grabbed my left and right hands.

“I’ve been thinking about it, producer.”

As Gongsi On opened her mouth, Kang Eva began massaging my shoulders.

… You’re good.

It was cool.

“Oh, did you bring me here to give you a massage? hahahaha, you were surprised.”

The words came out a little awkwardly.

Choi Joo-yoon said, “Yes, that’s right… !” While doing this, I pressed my right hand little by little.

Gongsi Temperature also massaged my left hand.

“We and the producer are so stiff!”

“Yes? “It’s hard?”

“That’s it! “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

“Of course, I wanted to respect you….”

As a producer, my job is to raise idols.

I didn’t produce because I wanted to get to know him personally.

Liking about producing idols and dating an idol are completely different feelings.

So, we used the most basic thing in doing business: politeness.

Even if it’s a girl much younger than me.

“Producer! Respect doesn’t come from words! “It comes down to attitude!”

“That may be true, but….”

“If you respect me, please speak informally and pat my head!!”

“…… Yes?”

What on earth are you thinking?

[Name: Gong Si-on]

[Current thought: Shorten the distance and increase skinship!!]

… As expected, it was a scheme to do something with me.

“I can’t touch it carelessly because I’ve set my hair.”

“Really, producer!!”

Gong Shi-on got angry and pouted his lips at me.

And then my hand that was massaging suddenly lifted up and,

He placed it on his head.

Strength was business….

I couldn’t overcome it with my own strength.

Gong Si-ion forced me to place my hand on his head,

I rubbed it vigorously for a few seconds.

My hair started to get tangled.

“No, Mr. Shion!!”

I didn’t know if I would be able to get my hair done in time for the next schedule if it got even worse here.

“It’s not Shion, it’s Shion, producer!! “Please pat your hair properly according to its texture before it gets even weirder!!”

Not only Gong Si-ion but also Choi Joo-yoon lifted my right hand and placed it on his head.

When the three of us work together,

I couldn’t resist at all.

… I realized that I was so weak.

“I understand, no, I understand, Zion.”

“Ahh!!”

“Producer, me too… ….”

“… Yes, Jooyun.”

Quuk.

Kang Eva poked her finger into my cheek from behind her.

“Yes, Eva too….”

As Gongsion requested, following the hair texture,

I patted the heads of the three Cursed Dolls members in turn.

Idols also have different hair.

It was soft and felt nice to touch.

I touched it for over 10 minutes without realizing it….

“Anyway, Mr. Shion—.”

It became a habit, so I inadvertently used it politely, and the corners of Gong Si-ion’s eyes went up.

“… “Zion.”

“Yes!”

“Just comb your hair and go.”

“Ah, yes!”

To get out of the warehouse, I was trying to put the box that Gong Shi-on had pushed back into place.

He didn’t budge….

Actually, Gong Si-on, who is stronger than me, pushed with a lot of force on his body, but there was no way it could be me.

“But, producer! “There are words I saw on the Internet that I don’t know!”

Gong Shi-on spoke while pushing a heavy box for me.

“Which one?”

“What does no-con mean?”

“… ….”

Meanwhile, Choi Joo-yoon’s face turned a little red as if he knew what he meant.

Why do 21-year-olds have less s*xual knowledge than 19-year-olds? .

Instead of me, Choi Ju-yoon went next to Gong Si-on and whispered in his ear.

Then his face blushed.

There was an awkward atmosphere, so I quickly opened the warehouse door and went outside.

Three Cursed Dolls members also came out.

“Then do well.”

“Yes!” “Yes… !”

I waved hello to the three people going down the elevator.

The moment I was about to head back to the training room where Jo Min-joo and Koo Ga-eun were,

“Hmm… ….”

Jo Min-joo was next to me.

She seemed to be leaving after a quick day of work in the women’s restroom next to the elevator.

“Cursed dolls are popular these days, right? “Those people.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“You’re quite friendly, aren’t you?”

“Because he is an idol I produced.”

[Name: Jo Min-joo]

[Current thought: After all, this guy is a player…. If you sleep with this person once, you might not be able to break up with him anymore…….]

I would definitely have refused to sleep with him, so why would I think that?

… Hearing the player’s voice made me feel amazing too.

And Jo Min-joo, rest assured.

I couldn’t get rid of it even after I turned 30.

… So you can see the status window?

“Mister.”

“Yes.”

“Please produce for me, no, for us too.”

“Of course.”

That’s why I went to Donggyo-dong intersection and scouted.

Jo Min-ju grinned and entered the training room with me.

***

“Haein, if you don’t like the pictorial, get out of Berry’s…” .”

“Haesol, what did you just say…” ?”

Joo Do-yeon and Jin Hae-sol, who returned from producer Jeong Oh-jun’s office, gathered Go Na-kyung and Yang Hae-in in the living room, saying they had something to say.

And the moment I sat down in the living room, I heard Jin Hae-sol’s bombshell remark,

Yang Hae-in’s heart sank.

“What on earth did you hear from that producer?!”

“…… “If you don’t like the temple, you have to leave.”

“Where is that?!”

“We can all survive only if we take a pictorial…. If Na-kyung and Hae-in can’t do the photo shoot, Do-yeon and I will do Berries alone…….”

“Uh, sister… ….”

Joo Do-yeon showed the members a photo taken with a smartphone on the screen.

These were photos I took while playing with the money I received from producer Jeong Oh-jun for selling the pictorial.

The excited expressions of the past two weeks were captured in the photo.

“Na-kyung, Hae-in. It’s not like you’re just hanging out with a guy. All you have to do is take some clothes off. At the same time, you get a bunch of money, but if you hold back, we can all have fun together again.”

“No matter how good the money tastes, you can’t do that, Doyeon!”

“Anyway, if you’re a celebrity, you have to know how to take off your clothes. “A world-famous film director offers to star in the film, but are you going to turn it down because there is an affair scene?”

“How can that be the same as this!!”

“If you appear in a famous director’s movie and take off your clothes, you will get money and fame. They say we can make money by selling pictorials and become top tier if we work consistently. “First of all, we are part of Lucky Seven.”

Even though he was a member of Lucky Seven, he was an understandable person trying to argue that it would not work that way.

Go Na-kyung opened her mouth first.

“Haein, I will do it…” .”

“… What? Na-kyung, why are you doing this? You cried last time?! “Is it because you want to cry again?!”

“It’ll be okay once you get used to it…” . They say the first time is hard…….”

“What are you talking about!! Why do I have to get used to something like that!!”

“Haein… , whether you like it or not, it’s a group activity. You can’t be selfish alone….”

Selfish?

Yang Hae-in was speechless at Go Na-kyung’s choice of words.

“Haein, this is our group policy…. If you don’t like the policy, you have no choice but to leave…. The producer you changed decided that way…….”

Tears flowed down Yang Hae-in’s cheeks.

In the end, Berryz ended up taking a strange photo shoot.

Because Yang Hae-in pushed hard to change the producer.

If Berries had just been patient, they could have suddenly become a huge hit like Cursed Dolls.

Producer Lim Boo-gil could have made Berryz a top-tier idol.

That person brought me decent work, even if it was a bit small in scale.

“Haein, you will do it… ? This is all we have to do…….”

In the words of Jin Hae-sol,

Yang Hae-in nodded his head weakly.
