If You Raise Three Idols Well, They Will Confess Their Love

6 – If you twist it, you will also regress

Episode 6

Winter, who was squatting in an accommodation street mixed with motels and hotels, boasted a more curly appearance than yesterday without even removing his smudged eyeline.

If you enter the audition hall like that, you will be kicked out immediately due to lack of preparation.

“No, why are you like that? Let’s wash up at the reserved lodging.”

“… Well, minors can only stay with a parental consent form, but I think I put the consent form in my wallet.”

“Then, I have to go to a jjimjilbang and wash up, you can’t go to an audition like that.”

“So I went to the jjimjilbang, and after looking at the school uniform, they kicked me out saying that students are only allowed to use it from 12:00 to 5:00 in the morning… .”

“You have to take off your school uniform… .”

Winter seemed to have nothing to say and just cried.

“Then did you ever sleep here?”

Winter nodded, looking very downcast.

Even though Korea is said to have good security, does this mean that a girl sleeps alone in a motel knowing that something will happen?

It was a truly bold and complacent decision.

I was hoping that the winter audition would fail, not that my life would fail.

“First, go to a sauna or a public bathhouse and wash up. “Don’t you have to audition?”

“… Since the audition was in the morning, I had already been to the audition hall. He said it was yesterday, not today.”

and… .

That’s why you couldn’t debut.

“Surely, Yeji said it was today… .”

“Did you not hear me well?”

“No, I mean, he even sent me off. I fell, but you cheered me on saying that I wish I could stick… .”

According to Winter’s story, she learned to dance and sing by following a boy named Yeji, but had no intention of auditioning.

He thought he didn’t have enough talent to become an idol.

Then one day, a girl named Yeji suggested that she go to an audition together, and she said she auditioned just because it was fun to do something with Yeji.

A child named Yeji helped Gyeoreum, who is computer-blind, with the application form and online connection, so she successfully completed the online audition, but only Gyeolwon passed the first audition.

Winter said that he was afraid that he would become distant from her.

So much so that he thought it would have been better if he had failed and Yeji had gained.

However, Yeji said that she encouraged her to go for the second round as she would help her with the procedures and confirm the schedule.

With the help of such Yeji, I practiced dancing and singing, and went up to Seoul today to audition on the date she told me, but the result was this.

This incident was not considered a mere mistake.

It’s not that I’m just suspicious, there was something unnatural about calling Yeji a friend in the story of winter.

Even though the narrator, Winter, tried his best to say it as best as possible, the shady and dampness that sticks out like an awl.

Yeji probably didn’t think of winter as a friend from the beginning.

Or, even if they were friends, they thought they were inferior to themselves.

In the meantime, the jealousy that came from Winter’s success over him may have been the motivation for deceiving Winter.

Winter, the person involved, must have felt this aspect even more.

Still, he must have been deceiving himself by making excuses, saying, ‘Because we’re friends.’

“… “Don’t play with that girl named Yeji from now on.”

Winter couldn’t answer and only shed tears.

Winter seemed more pitiful than anyone else in the world as she not only lost her audition opportunity, but also lost her only friend.

At this point, it seemed like my plan to introduce myself to Cheon Jong-hun would work effectively.

“You said the agency you were auditioning for was CH, right?”

Winter looked up at me with puffy eyes and nodded.

“How about joining the SS?”

“… SS?”

“Yes, SS, famous as one of the top three entertainment agencies. “Would SS be better than CH in terms of facilities, vision, and support?”

“It would be great to join SS… . By the way, will SS accept me? I heard that SS has the highest competition rate for trainees, and that the agency with the lowest chance of debuting is also SS. “There are probably a lot of people who are greater than people like me.”

I encouraged her.

“You can be greater than those great people.”

“… I really appreciate your words. But what is it about me that makes you make such an assertion? “What do you see in me, like I’m shaking and losing my wallet, or I’m so stupid that I lied about the date of the audition?”

What do you mean by looking at the status window?

Of course, there was no way I could say that by looking at the status window.

I’m lucky if I don’t get sent to a mental hospital when I tell him.

So I had to be shameless.

“Because you have talent.”

“How do you know about that talent?”

“persimmon.”

“… “Persimmon?”

“Okay, persimmon. I don’t say this lightly. Because my intuition is never wrong. “I could bet the rest of my life on you succeeding and becoming the best idol.”

Of course, it was under the assumption that they would receive training from a reasonable agency, excluding the intervention of natural disasters.

Well, I didn’t mean to add this lamely.

There was only one thing I had to say.

“Trust me. “I will make you the best idol.”

Winter stared blankly at my face while I was ranting.

And he spoke with hazy eyes, as if he were drunk.

“… I will believe you.”

The eyes filled with blind faith seemed to have religion.

I think I listened too carefully… ?

I just brushed it off as a good thing.

Anyway, since I had permission from Winter, I thought it would be okay to try a deal with Cheon Jong-hoon.

Without hesitation, I decided to call Jong-Hoon Cheon right away.

I remembered his phone number as I had been friends with him before I returned.

It wasn’t a business phone number, which numbered four, but a personal number with less than 20 people who knew it.

Even if an unknown number is dialed, calls to this number will always be answered.

As expected, the incoming tone rang for about 30 seconds, and the call was connected.

“… Who is it?”

“You are Team Leader Cheon Jong-hoon, right? I heard that you are having difficulties recruiting the final member for this girl group project. Would you like to be introduced to a trainee?”

He dismissed it as a prank call and listed the information in rapid fire before hanging up.

“Overall, it has a cool but not cheap appearance. It would be nice to think of a luxurious black color. A suitable song would be one that creates Jersey Club-style tension and synesthesia rather than innocence and loveliness. Of course, an intense and difficult performance must be added to match it.”

You will never be able to ignore it.

That’s right, because he said ‘Queen in the Mirror Land’, the title song of the idol group Cheon Jong-hoon is making, exactly like the sentence in his autobiography that he compiled later.

“… .”

There was silence as Cheon Jong-Hoon thought for a long time.

It’s worth it.

If an unknown person suddenly calls you and pretends to have looked into your head, you will be suspicious.

However, even if this situation and my credibility are obstacles, he will take the bait.

If, at a difficult moment, there is an item for sale that perfectly matches one’s thoughts, a producer would not be able to turn away.

“… It’s an overly situational story. It almost felt like someone had entered my head and was speaking to me. But it’s unpleasant for someone I don’t know to say that. “It’s very unpleasant.”

Cheon Jong-hun spoke like an angry beast.

“… But I can’t cut you off just because you’re not interested.”

His seething discomfort and curiosity that surpassed it were conveyed through the phone.

“I don’t ask. “How did you get this number?”

Cheon Jong-hoon seemed to want to reveal who distributed the number.

The answer was already ready.

“I was working as Seonghwan’s manager. “The senior citizen did not have an agency and did not have a formal contract, so he was more like a grandchild receiving an allowance.”

Trot singer Seonghwan, the godfather of the music industry who passed away not long ago, was a good excuse.

Because you can’t ask why you gave your number to a dead person.

As a bonus, mention of the contract was prevented in advance, thereby eliminating any repercussions.

“Elder Seonghwan? under… “Yes, that could be possible.”

He also seemed to have judged the name Seonghwan to be plausible.

“Then how did you know that I was having trouble recruiting the last member? “The people working on the project now probably don’t speak lightly.”

“Didn’t you visit SS on the AllTube channel that you ran when you were alive? At that time, I followed along and checked on the trainees in general. And I was sure. “There are only four members who will be worthy of Team Leader Cheon’s attention.”

It was an effective excuse since Cheon Jong-hoon would not have been involved in the YouTube filming.

“And since it’s an open secret that 5 members were selected for SS’s new girl group project, I guessed it. “It’s going to be difficult to choose the last one.”

“… It makes me want to hang up the phone right away, so don’t kid me. You limited it to four people just by looking at it out of the corner of your eye in that brief photo shoot? “Do you think that’s a reasonable excuse now?”

Even though I thought about it, it was nonsense.

If that’s possible, why would you audition or take a test?

“Aren’t the four selected trainees Lily, Coco, Amy, and Yunjeong?”

But I know.

“… .”

You can’t take the words of someone who has seen the rise and fall of Alcest as mere bullsh*t.

If you mess up, will you regress too?
