Chapter 81 – #14. Level Up (1)
I stretched out in a big shape in the living room of the dorm and stared blankly at the ceiling, but then I suddenly remembered something, so I took out my phone.
‘I have to erase it.’
After sex with Joanna and May, I saw a picture of May.
And all those photos were stored on my cell phone, and the rest were destroyed.
My appearance in the picture taken by May was so erotic that I had to coldly refuse Joanna’s request, saying that she wanted even one.
She didn’t expect to see a fucking man’s face and think it was erotic, but the destructive power of the face given by the fucking pony pup was too strong.
‘The moment this picture goes outside, there will be a fuss. I have to erase it unconditionally, but I can’t get my hands on it.’
Maybe it’s because he admits to himself that it’s too bad that this photo disappears like this.
Even though the owner who took the photo coolly handed over all the files to me.
It is a very objective fact that I know that my face is good-looking.
However, when that face became erotic, it created more than twice the destructive power of his usual handsomeness.
Why did Mei ask me to let her take a picture of my face and she said she was willing to even have sex?
‘Is it because I wasn’t born with this face from the beginning? A handsome young boy. If I do this, I might get caught in narcissism.’
This photo is for handling.
“Haeng-nim! How have you been!”
“OK. Did you have fun?”
Just then, the front door opened and a man with a familiar voice entered.
Gi Woo-yeon is a boy who still lacks a lot to be called a man.
“Yes.”
“What is it? You greeted cheerfully, but why are your answers so weak?”
“The vacation is over.”
“Did you eat too much? Wow~ You gained weight, did you?”
I looked at Ki Woo-yeon by lifting my head, but she was chubby.
“Ugh! If your manager sees you, she’ll tell you to lose weight.”
“If you practice hard, you will fall out quickly.”
“By the way, what is your brother doing? Lie down on the floor.”
“I’m enjoying the end of my vacation too.”
[Are you sure you want to delete this picture?]
[Yes]
With this, all lingering attachments to the two-week vacation, which was like a dream, are cut off.
After erasing all of May’s photos stored on my phone, I threw my phone aside and stretched it out again.
“Did you rest well?”
The days after he left Sister Joo-a’s house were all flesh-colored feasts to the point that he had to wear 19 gold.
Of course, I wasn’t very quiet when I was staying at my sister’s house, but Joanna and May’s 3P sex was the same, and later on, I had sex with Hyun Ah, and I even had sex with Noona Bok-soon.
‘The stamina bag came in handy.’
I was sucked in on the other side, so I ate it to the point where I thought there was nothing more to come out.
Thanks to this, I was able to get many coins besides the coins for the store.
“You’ve been doing well. Thanks to you, vacation aftereffects are no joke.”
“Ugh, I wish this was a dream. I want to go back to the first day of vacation~”
After Ki Woo-yeon appeared, they arrived at the dorm in the order of Nam-gyu, Jeki, Kang-jun, and Kang Kyung-tae.
The dorm was buzzing with everyone talking about what they did on vacation.
“Everyone gained weight, but why does Haesol hyung seem to have lost more weight?”
“Okay? I think it’s the same. Didn’t you guys feel that way because you gained weight?”
Celebrities are people too.
Except for a few selected people with special constitutions, eating food will make you gain weight.
And our team members didn’t have a special constitution.
If you eat it, you get steamed, if you don’t eat it, it’s just a normal constitution.
The kids all ate well and rested well at home, so they gained plump weight, which naturally came back to worry.
“Ugh! It hurts if you stab me in the middle like that.”
“Still, you didn’t gain weight by chance.”
“Ah, why am I still… ?”
“It’s because you made your face into a moon. I wonder if what you see when you close your eyes is your future. I wonder if the trainer will take care of it on a 1:1 basis.”
“Does it look like you’ve gained that much weight?”
“Huh.”
“Aagh! I just ate!! Just be patient! Since my mother was growing up, she said that she would go all the way, so she only believed in that and ate it!!”
“I ended up going to Sal.”
“Oops! Stop assaulting the facts!”
Haha.”
Because all the members suffered from the aftereffects of the vacation, they did not enter the room and lay around in the living room.
Our conversation, which had been chatting for a while, reached the future after a two-week vacation.
“Anyway, I guess I’ll be busy preparing for my next activity.”
“Perhaps?”
“I hope it goes well this time too, but I don’t know if the fans will take good care of it. Would you say it’s a bit scary? Will you take good care of me this time too, what if I don’t live up to your expectations? I was just worried about that.”
“You haven’t started anything yet, have you already?”
“The response at first was very good. Unbelievably.”
Our debut was exceptionally popular.
It was possible because rookie idols received a lot of attention as soon as they debuted because they were really lucky.
It’s because of the agency’s speed, and it’s also thanks to the publicity that paid attention to the visuals.
“You still have a long way to go to catch up with the popularity of other idol groups.”
“That is true. The fandom is still very weak.”
Jackie, who had been listening to our conversation, interrupted.
“That is our current problem. Because we gained popularity in a situation where the fandom wasn’t properly gathered, there are many people who look down on us. If you don’t prove your skills properly this time, you’ll be criticized a lot? Coincidence, are you worried about that too?”
In a word, Jackie’s explanation means that we are in a situation where there is a lot of aggro.
It is very difficult to gain popularity in this world, but it is very difficult to maintain that popularity.
That’s why, like us, when there is a situation where we gain excessive popularity at the same time as our debut, we have no choice but to check.
“Yes that’s right. It’s fortunate that my manager noona took good care of me throughout my promotions, I got a lot of glare. This time it will be worse than before. I want to know how I can endure it all…”
“Even then, Wooyeon was very scared.”
“More so after the bathroom incident.”
Bathroom incident.
Ki Woo-yeon went to the bathroom in the broadcasting room and heard our group gossip behind her back and cried.
After that day, Ki Woo-yeon stopped wandering around alone.
Wherever he went, he took one of the members with him, and even now, it is the reason why he is afraid of being checked by other groups.
“We’ll protect you, so don’t worry about coincidences.”
“That’s right. And as much as we don’t want to disappoint our fans, let’s prepare hard. If you work hard, everyone will look at you pretty. The company also supports them diligently.”
Moreover, I had a reliable corner.
Coins earned during the 2 weeks of vacation!!
With this coin, you will be able to have much better skills than you do now.
With that, I think I will be able to appeal to the fans more skillfully during this promotion.
With all the members gathered, I decided to ask about their thoughts on future activities.
“What do you want everyone to do next?”
“Next activity?”
“It’s like saying you want to sing a certain kind of song.”
“That is decided by the company.”
“It’s our album, so you want to entrust everything to the company? It was difficult to give an opinion when you debuted, but shouldn’t you give your opinion from the second activity onwards? Besides, we have Jackie. If you give me your opinion, I will definitely listen.”
“Uh…”
The members’ gazes were directed at me and then moved toward Jeki.
Because among us, it was Jackie who had the most musical achievement and fame.
“Certainly, I thought I needed to show my skills from the second time onwards. It’s not a big problem now, but I don’t think our skills were properly appealed with the last song. You need to show your skills to go to bigger waters, and to stand up to and be checked by other groups.”
And Jackie usually confided to his members what he was thinking.
Singing is a bit more difficult, and I want to raise the level of difficulty in dancing as well.
It was very difficult to learn the dance and song of the previous promotion stage, but it seemed to be my own circumstances.
The members also began to share the complaints they had accumulated over the years.
“There were parts where I thought it would have been nice if it had been changed more like this.”
“There were so many things lacking in singing.”
Nodding-
“You succeeded, though.”
“… That’s right.”
“What if we say what we want to do and fail?”
Sullen-!
Through this activity, I fully realized that just because a song is good doesn’t mean it’s successful.
Even now, countless songs are consumed, and among them, only a few are chosen by people.
The irony of the world is that just because a song is good doesn’t mean you get chosen.
“I know the company does a good job, but I think it’s okay to say what you want to do. Since they are competent, they will reflect our opinions and make them successful.”
“Then, let’s start with Jackie hyung’s treasure house!! At first glance, Zeki composes, there are so many good songs.”
“Hey, why is mine suddenly?”
The house was buzzing again.
Since there were six people, each had their own inclination, so when we started gathering opinions, there was no market floor.
Whether you want to sing a hip-hop style song or have a dance you want to show your fans.
It’s a pity that most of the opinions were things that seemed impossible to realize.
Still, Jeki skillfully put together the members’ opinions and took notes.
“Hip hop!! Strong!!”
“The dance is intense!!”
“The high-pitched part of the song bursts with bread!”
“It has to be properly balanced. And if the atmosphere is too different from the songs on the debut album, wouldn’t the fans think it’s disparate?”
“I want it to be a song that can save a little bit of timbre.”
And I decided to pass on those opinions to the manager.
I was going to do it, but since he is the leader, Jackie said he would pass it on to the manager.
“It’s time. Let’s go to work.”
Since the two-week vacation was over, we moved to the company to have a meeting about our future schedule.
We had a honey-like vacation, but the company employees had to spend a busy time because of us.
Because I had to draw a specific picture of the next activity.
“Hello.”
“Hello!!”
“Oh~ It’s been a while~?”
“Has the vacation already ended? God, why does time go by so fast? I don’t think I did anything.”
“Look at how smooth they are. How well do you want to rest? Haha!”
“I’ll have to take care of it again.”
When we arrived at the office of the dedicated airplane team, they flocked to us and checked things out.
In particular, the trainer in charge of taking care of our body brought a scale and checked her weight while screaming at the chubby members.
“Ahh! Gi Woo-yeon!! What the hell did you eat at home? Oh my God, you gained 4 kg!”
“Hehe, my mom said that everything she eats now goes to height…”
“Do you accept and eat it knowing how hard it will be to remove it?”
“Ugh, just save me.”
When it was my turn, the trainer was rather surprised.
“Haesol lost more weight? Did she have a good rest?”
“Ah, too. It seemed that she was missing.”
It was so tight, but it’s strange that it didn’t fall out.
“Haesol was good at managing her weight from the start, so she could have rested comfortably. Did she manage and restrain herself this time as well?”
“No. I must have played too hard for two weeks.”
“Ugh~ Haesol hyung, you are a complete deceiver. We played the same way, so why do we gain weight and hyung lose weight?”
Yes, it is because the way of ‘playing’ is different.
If these guys did what they did for two weeks, they would come to the company skinny too.
The trainer has been busy planning new exercise routines and diets for her members who have gained a lot of weight.
In the meantime, we were able to hear an explanation of the newly created practice schedule from the manager.
