The Manager Is a Gangster

133 – Public Enemies (18)

1.

“Today’s practice ends here! Everyone worked hard, and the only thing left is the stage I saw. I believe everyone will do well. I’ll also skip all the schedules tomorrow and watch the live broadcast, so take control of the stage. Everyone knows, right?”

“Smashing is his specialty. Don’t be surprised to see it, Master Jiyeon, I’m a real fighter, so I’ll do twice as well on stage.”

“Yes yes! It’s not anyone else, it’s not us! I was also nervous at first, but after learning from Jiyeon, I am full of confidence!”

“Whoops, if I want to continue taking lessons from Jiyeon, I have to succeed.”

“Okay, I’ll do my best! Just as practiced!”

“I will do well so that I can boast about it.”

“Whoops… OK! It’s good that everyone is confident! Then, I’ll go out first, so pack up and go to your dorm. Jinhyeok is waiting for you.”

Yoo Ji-yeon, a trainer with no presence right after President Jeong at Bareungil Enter, but today, the day before her debut, she was able to leave the practice room confidently, showing a teacher-like appearance.

Since it was the day before the debut of the girl group she raised herself from scratch, she was nervous as her trainer, but she didn’t show the slightest bit of tension on her face.

“I feel this many times, but where did Jinhyeok bring such kids?”

Because Starit is such a great girl group that you will no doubt believe that they will become the world’s best idols the moment you see them.

“If you are Starit, the debut stage will shake the idol version… No, this Republic of Korea. Are you sure. If that’s the case, I, the dedicated trainer, will have to work even harder to keep up with the kids.”

That’s why Yu Ji-yeon had already confirmed the success of her Star It in her mind, but she rather strengthened her mind so that she wouldn’t fall behind.

“Let’s pack up quickly and leave. The manager is waiting for you.”

“Yes, Honey unnie, then everyone organize formation!”

“Towels OK!”

“Tumbler, checked.”

“Power off OK!”

“Okay! Hani and I are done vacuuming and mopping! Then let’s go home!”

After breaking up with Yu Ji-yeon, the Starit members quickly finished cleaning the practice room as if they were one body without wasting a bit of movement when Kang Jin-hyuk was told that he was waiting for them.

※※※

To-do-do-do-do!

“Oh. Come.”

Beep beep! Bang!

The sound of horses’ hooves running across a vast meadow… The sound of five pairs of footsteps and the sound of the door lock password being pressed roughly sounded quickly, and soon the front door opened as if it were about to break open, revealing the appearance of five stars.

“I’m back.”

Of the five, Ha An was the first to greet me, as always.

After that, the other members also went back and tried to say hello, but the voice of the one sitting on the sofa spoke faster.

“Are you here? Everyone come and sit here. Because I have a story to tell.”

Ha An-i’s eyebrows furrowed, as if it were her home.

Is it a start again?

If you leave it alone here, a meaningless fight of spirit in season 194158 will begin, saying, ‘Who are you?

I didn’t want something like that to happen at this point, so I quickly cut the line between Byul and the members.

“Byeol-ah, the kids came here after practicing, but you have to wash up first. It’s not too late though They must have been nervous because it was their debut tomorrow, but how would the kids feel if we set the mood like that?”

“Huh? Nervous? Are they? Oppa, you still don’t know what kind of kids they are after living under the same roof? I just came back from practice, and I see that my body is only a little warmer, but I’m not sweating a drop. How many times do I have to tell you that you shouldn’t put them on the same level as the other trainees? They are monsters born to become idols.”

“What do you mean by monster? There are many better words. Call me a genius.”

“Genius? It’s because I’m not a genius. Just three months ago, I was just a little kid, but I didn’t know that I would grow like this. These days, they even make me nervous, so what are they other than monsters?”

I opened my mouth to stop the fight between Byul and Haan, but for some reason, the aspect of the conversation became like parents arguing over opinions due to conflicts caused by different philosophies on education.

From talking to Pint going out in a very useless place and having a strange argument. Although they argue, they are a very good couple themselves.

“······Huh, yes. I don’t know if it’s a compliment or a curse, but if you practice, you should at least take a shower to refresh yourself…”

But me and Byul aren’t like a married couple, and I didn’t have the time or leisure to dream of such an extravagant future, so I took a step back and opened my mouth to put an end to this confrontation.

“It’s okay Manager. Like that person said, we didn’t sweat. Yes?”

But before I could finish my words, Ha An, who seemed to be uncomfortable somewhere, came in cutting her back.

“Yeah, that’s right. Mr. Haan is right. Speaking of practice today, there was only the final line-up and performance check. It’s okay if you’re not so considerate.”

The fantastic toss-spike composition from Ha An Yi to Haru made my efforts to prevent a fight futile.

“Right. Rather, it’s to the point of dissatisfaction because I can’t take all my strength out. What did you say about this… Is it us?”

“Wait! I know that! It was the one that ends in bull… With cow…”

“Incomplete combustion?”

“Right! Incomplete combustion! We are all incomplete combustion Ah! I’m sorry!”

With the splendid assists of his younger brother, Line, who did not stop there, in the end, a breakup without a moment’s rest, let alone a lull, resulted in a confrontation between the Starit members.

The relationship between Byul and our Starit members can be said to be that of a champion and a challenger.

Despite Byul being an incredibly good helper, our kids had a tremendously friendly attitude towards Byul, befitting the group’s name, Starit.

Ha-an and Haru, as well as Li-ra, Ji-woo, and Byul-i, are our role models.

“My brother is too overprotective. Are you saying they’re okay too? Even if you give me half of the devotion you put into them…”

“Stop talking about the manager. So what are you going to say to us?”

Ha An’s sharp voice interrupted Byul’s words that were heading towards me.

The two naturally sharp eyes collided in the air, which was a precursor to a fight that I could not prevent.

Damn it. After all, is it like this today? If they have the same goal and decided to help each other, shouldn’t they live a little better? Of course, it is an undeniable fact that the competitive spirit towards Byul-i made Starit grow faster, but this is a bit too much…

“What to say? Nothing special. Just believe in you.”

I thought he would stab Ha-an with his snoring and arrogant voice, but the words that came out of Byul’s mouth were the exact opposite of what I thought.

“Huh?”

“No. Saying this doesn’t make much sense to you. Ok then i can say it like this You guys are a very outstanding girl group that I acknowledge. Among the girl groups currently active in Korea, I can count on three fingers the group that you guys can compare to. That’s how great you are. In terms of talent, he is better than anyone else.”

Byeol’s praise didn’t stop at the first short sentence, but continued for a long time.

All of her Star It members were dumbfounded with their eyes wide open.

Of course, I am dumb as well.

“Because this parting is acknowledged by Nova, the world’s best solo singer and superstar. Open your ears and listen straight. And engraved on her chest. Always look back in your mind. Who are we? It’s called ‘Starit, a girl group recognized by Nova’.”

It was a very arrogant and arrogant statement, but since the person who said it was a star, no one here could dispute this point.

“Ugh, uhhhhh… No, Nova-senpai took us…!”

For those of us with Byul as our role model, we were even touched and our eyes moistened.

With a light smile on our cute reaction, Byul gave a last word of praise to everyone.

“Tomorrow, the singers and idols who will compete with you on stage are all worse than me. Not even that much. So don’t be scared No matter how much they catch Gao or how territorial they are, just ignore it and prove it on stage. Then no one in this country will be able to look down on you. Understand?”

At the words of 100% pure praise that continued without a twist until the end, an atmosphere that had never been experienced before filled the hall.

Yeah, it’s awkward, but there’s something about it that doesn’t make you feel bad.

Unless he was the first person to speak in such an atmosphere, he had the greatest sympathy for Byul, and since he was the leader of Starit, Ha An was the most suitable person to open his mouth in such a situation.

“Hearing those cheesy words with that mouth. Today will be the first and last.”

“What?”

“The word “Talent” Is used for those who are inferior to oneself.”

“······· Ha. Even if a person thinks of this, say it!”

Byeol jumped up from the sofa in a fit of anger at Ha-an’s attitude of not accepting compliments gracefully.

The moment they reached the same eye level as Byul, Ha An smiled lightly at Byul for the first time and said.

“I am advising you to be nervous. We’ll be much more awesome than you think.”

It was Byul and Starit who didn’t lose an inch until the end.

Well… Anyway, let alone nervous, it must have been because he was so confident that he could pierce the sky, right?
