Chapter 273 – #42. Year End (1)
“Director Jo Yeon-joo said that he would accept it without rejecting it because it would be a good thing for you guys.”
“We have no complaints either.”
“How is the concept?”
“You have to hear the exact concept, but I heard that you guys become the perfume itself?”
“Are we becoming perfumes?”
“Is something nice?”
“Can we choose the scent?”
“Okay. I’ll ask about that part. But wouldn’t it be usually determined by the color?”
Each of us has a personal color that suits us.
Anyway, we needed to wait until the perfume came out.
“Anyway, for this shoot, visuals are really important, right? In the future, I will focus on you guys. You have to practice facial expressions often, and practice how perfume models took pictures, and that’s it, right?”
“Yes.”
“So when are you filming this?”
“Since it’s a limited-time perfume for Christmas, there aren’t many left.”
Since that day, our faces have been covered with various plants.
Until the day of the perfume photo shoot.
♧ ♧ ♧
As I was frantically going through my schedule, I didn’t know when the time had passed so quickly.
In an instant, it was December 20th, just before Christmas.
It was the end of the year, and sparkling decorations were common on the streets.
A lot of things have changed in Korea, which I haven’t been in for a long time.
Like the weather, and the scenery of the buildings.
“The thing about Christmas really touches me.”
“I want to put out carols at this time next year.”
“Carol is fine.”
There was only one schedule for today.
This is a live broadcast prepared to spend a special Christmas with fans.
“Actually, it’s for publicity purposes.”
“It’s really nasty. Even though it’s a live broadcast for fans, it’s actually for publicity purposes.”
“You have to have an excuse like this to be able to do a live broadcast. Let’s think good. As much as I am sorry, I just need to broadcast it to the fullest.”
The perfume advertisement, which was filmed a month ago, has been extensively publicized since the 10th, and today, the 20th, limited edition sales are finally starting in earnest.
As soon as the live broadcast started, fans came in at high speed.
There was Korean, English, and words from various countries were mixed, so I was quickly passing through the chat window.
We spent time greeting happy fans, talking about our current situation, and singing carols prepared for the live broadcast.
We carried out the purpose of promoting the perfume ordered by the agency without missing out, and we enjoyed the live broadcast without noticing the passage of time.
‘At first, I was hectic because of the real-time chatting. Even the bad guys were annoying.’
His outstanding physical ability did not miss the rapidly increasing chat window, and thanks to this, he made people have a hard time remembering both bad and good comments in his head.
However, after admitting that focusing on the overwhelming positive comments rather than the intermittent bad comments is more helpful to my mental health, I have been able to enjoy live broadcasts purely.
Isn’t it so sad that we can’t concentrate on the chatting of pure fans who are happy with the songs we sing, their faces, and one more word, because of malicious comments?
‘Idols have to have a good mentality.’
I was doing a live broadcast with such passion.
Suddenly, the chat window exploded.
While we couldn’t confirm the time, limited edition sales had begun.
– Oh, what! I couldn’t buy it!
– Ah! Why are they selling so fast?
-I think it’s almost a minute cut?
-No! Limited Edition Bromide!! Please take my money!
-I have money, so why can’t I buy it?
– It’s so hard to sell overseas.
-Take my money!!!!!!!!!!
“Uh… I heard that limited edition perfume sales have started?”
Overwhelmed by the pouring chatting window, we were so surprised that we couldn’t say anything and only widened our eyes.
I was the first to come to my senses and said it with an awkward smile, but just then the manager noona brought me good news.
“Guys! They say the perfume is sold out.”
“Omg! Really?”
“Wow!”
Your company didn’t tell you the exact capacity, but it must have been quite a lot.
Since it was a product of a company famous for its perfumes, the price would not have been too high.
– I didn’t buy it!
-Give me more!!!
-The owner!! Open the door!!
-Oh yea!!!!!!!!! Bought!
-Ah… Server start.
However, it seems that the quantity was not enough for our fans.
Everyone was crying because they couldn’t buy it.
“Thank you for purchasing the perfume.”
-Who is this! Who’s the winner!
-Are all losers here? (｡•́︿•̀｡)
-Me!! My purchase was successful! Aaaaagh! I’m looking forward to it!!
-Please share the picture of the bromide ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
“Oh! Someone over there bought it.”
“Thank you!”
It was a special limited edition for Christmas, so if you buy the perfume, you get an extra bromide that we filmed, but it seems the fans really wanted it.
He was talking about the feeling that buying bromide comes with perfume, not the feeling that bromide comes with buying perfume.
To be honest, I am so grateful to the fans who think that way.
First of all, it was a difficult product to purchase because it was sold overseas.
I am so grateful to the fans who tried to purchase the perfume even after going through all the complicated procedures. The members and I sang some more carols while holding live performances that should have ended a long time ago.
“I hope those who didn’t buy it won’t be too disappointed.”
“We’ll work harder and see you often!”
-It was sad because there were so many domestic activities.
-Are you working abroad after the end of the year?
-When are you making a comeback?
-You must be making a lot of money overseas, but there is no way you can do domestic activities haha
– Sing me please!!!
When I heard that the perfume was sold out, I felt light and wanted to do everything.
In fact, it was doing so well overseas that the agency had no reason to send us back to Korea.
I’m sorry to the domestic fans, but even if I think about it, it seemed necessary to aim for the overseas market rather than the domestic market.
“We’ll just go.”
“Everyone! Have a Merry Christmas~!”
“Hello~!”
“Let’s meet again next time.”
“Bye Bye.”
“Happy Christmas~!”
Since we couldn’t keep broadcasting live forever, we ended the two-and-a-half-hour broadcast.
As soon as we confirmed the end of the broadcast, we raised our arms and shouted.
“It’s a vacation~!”
“Oh yeah!”
The agency gave us a huge vacation at the end of the year.
In fact, the end of the year was a really busy time for us, so it wasn’t easy to take such a grand vacation.
Especially, a special stage that needs to be prepared at the end of the year.
‘It’s really hard.’
Because of being special, he had to perform with other idol members, so he was stressed about people, and he made people feel tired by trying to direct them unreasonably, saying that he had to do a special stage.
Especially this year, we could expect that our songs would hit the jackpot and receive a pretty big award.
‘How fortunate I am that I don’t have to do a special stage that is bothersome thanks to the company’s hard work.’
These days, you could say ‘sucking honey’.
The aftermath of Amazing Star was reaching not only overseas but also domestically, so recruits came in from all directions.
The agency made a deal with a domestic broadcaster to give us a vacation at the end of this year.
Instead of entering the country in advance and paying for the broadcasting schedule, he missed the special stage.
In a situation where stock prices have been rising overseas for a while, the broadcasting station, dazzled by the fact that we can show our faces to a domestic broadcasting station, readily accepted the deal.
‘The broadcasting schedule was a bit difficult, but I got a vacation.’
This was something that could be sacrificed.
Fans who said in the broadcast chat earlier that they miss our activities in Korea will soon be able to fulfill their wishes.
“Our agency is definitely good at welfare.”
“That’s right, it’s really nice to let you rest when you’re resting.”
“I go first! Everyone, take care of yourself and spend your vacation!”
The first to leave the dorm was Kyungtae.
What was so busy was that he left the dorm with only the luggage he had packed in advance.
The other members also started walking around busily as if they were in a hurry when Kyungtae disappeared first.
“See you after vacation!! Hi!”
“Merry Christmas.”
“Merry Christmas to you in advance too!”
I was also very happy with the huge vacation period I got after a long time.
Until the 26th, I don’t know how to spend a short vacation if it’s short, or a long vacation if it’s long, to say that I spent it to the fullest.
There are so many things I want to do and so many people I need to take care of, so I can’t figure out what to do first.
First of all, like the members, I left the dorm and returned to Joo-ah noona’s house.
The house has changed a lot in a long time.
The end of Christmas is fast approaching here too.
“Come on, Haesol~! I miss you!”
As soon as Jeonghwa opened the front door, she hurried over and took me into my arms.
“Jeonghwa, it’s been a while.”
As she falls into my arms, she lifts her head and purses her lips.
I meant to kiss her, and I gladly kissed her on the lips.
Side side side side!
Starting with a kiss, they share each other’s breath more deeply.
The moment she was about to wrap her arms around her waist, Taeyang appeared toddling.
“My God, the sun has grown so much.”
Actually, I came a week ago early in the morning to see Taeyang, who was asleep, but seeing Taeyang wandering around at such a bright hour gave me a new feeling.
After washing her hands, he came out and embraced Taeyang and enjoyed the reunion.
Taeyang’s beauty, who he resembled, was really unusual.
“How come Taeyang is getting better every day? You will be very tired later.”
“Huh-huh, actually, there are more than one girls who like the sun and chase after them.”
“Already?”
I heard from Jung-hwa that there are many older sisters who have already steamed Taeyang.
“Huh. There are more than seven women with spittle saying that Taeyang will make a groom later.”
“Wow.”
I don’t think this guy is anyone’s son.
To see such buds (?) Already.
I want you to be my son too.
Taeyang, who is having an unusual childhood, was caught by Jeong-hwa and brought to the kitchen while playing while patting her ass.
The food was already prepared, but I smiled mischievously when I saw it.
“These days, the food seems to be coming out really well.”
“… Be quiet and eat If not, next time I will make it myself.”
“Sorry!”
I wasn’t that hungry, but once I started eating, I went in well.
“But what about your sister?”
“You are very busy these days. I guess it’s more because it’s the end of the year. They say there are many places calling here and there.”
“I heard that your sister is popular.”
It wasn’t long before Joo-ah caught the attention of the directors.
She is, in fact, a face that is difficult to hide.
With her decent acting skills and overwhelming visuals, Joo-a noona was not a supporting role, but a leading role.
Eventually, she took a few supporting roles as a springboard and was cast as her lead actress, Joo Na-na, who gave her excellent performance as her vicious mother-in-law in the drama.
She and she were overwhelmingly popular enough to look forward to her year-end awards despite playing a villainous role.
It’s so scary because she is the wife of her vicious obsession, but once in a while, men with a distorted libido who wanted to receive such an obsession from her sister became her fans.
“Nuna’s character is cool, so I like it too.”
“Oh, did our Haesol-kun want to be obsessed like that?”
Jung-hwa says something meaningful.
As if she could do it herself if she wanted to.
“It’s good because it’s a character played by Joo-ah noona. As she showed in the drama, if you get obsessed with her, it’ll be a big deal. In the first place, Jeonghwa-sshi, it’s not that kind of style.”
I can’t watch the women around me die one by one.
Fiction is best left as fiction.
“Whoa, whoa, what could she not do if she wanted to?”
“…”
Jeong-hwa’s eyes flashed dangerously, as if she would eat me at any moment.
