Chapter 277 – Don’t You Want to Bet?
A familiar voice came from behind me.
I turned my head and greeted him warmly.
“Oh, Cheon Bom, it’s been a while.”
“Iknow, right. “It’s been a really long time.”
Again and again.
She came next to me, deliberately making her footsteps loud as if she wanted me to hear her.
“You haven’t been in touch much for a while, so you miss me?”
Cheon Bom speaks bluntly but subtly in a disappointed voice.
I stared at her for a moment with her desert fox expression.
“… “Why are you making that face?”
“I contacted you.”
“I only did it three times!”
“Every day.”
I did it three times a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner, every day.
Honestly, hasn’t this done enough?
“Besides, when I asked her what she was doing, she just said ‘work’ and gave a short answer. When I asked her if she wanted to hang out, she just said she was busy.”
“Well, I’m really busy…”
“Yes, I know you’ve been busy. “But I wonder why you’re saying this to me.”
“…”
Cheon Bom turns her head away as if she has nothing to say.
This should be enough as a retaliatory measure(?) For being hit first.
I softened my voice and asked what he was up to.
“Did everything end well?”
“Yes, of course.”
“I was a little surprised at that time. “He suddenly sent me a message saying, ‘I’ll be busy for a while, see you later,’ so I thought something big had happened.”
“Oh, um… I’m sorry. It’s just that I have to keep making progress when I get paid. I was busy with work and training, so I sent a quick message… “I didn’t think about Sejin’s position as he reads the message.”
“Training?”
“It’s a long story, but…”
***
While Lee Se-jin was busy, Cheon Bom was also busy in her own way.
It wasn’t just because of work.
‘I need to get this sense clearly now.’
In the past, it was Cheon Bom who added a new flavor to the song that Shin So-ye hinted at and that she felt while having fun with Lee Se-jin, and the song she composed after realizing her lust.
But this is temporary.
If I don’t sort out what this feeling is and repeat it over and over again, this inspiration will soon disappear.
Cheon Bom, who has learned and mastered composition so far, knows full well that this kind of review is important, and he reflected on that feeling several times during his spare time at work.
While working on the movie OST, she thought about that feeling.
While meeting with her clients to come up with a song concept, I try to compose it for practice by relating it to my current senses.
When she is with others, she lets that feeling sink in, but when she is alone, she even sings to experience that feeling…
During that time in the solo workshop, Cheon Bom had a great time working and training.
***
“…Thanks to you, I think my songwriting level has gone up a notch. Certainly, as Shin So-ye advised, an intense experience was needed…”
“Wait, wait a minute.”
“Why are you doing that?”
“You kept repeating that over and over again?”
“Yes, that’s how you learn it. “Why are you doing that?”
“No, that… I’m a little embarrassed to hear that you kept repeating the same feeling you had with me.”
At my words, Cheon Bom’s expressionless face heated up a little.
“It’s like rice, pervert. “I think about that all the time.”
‘He said he kept ruminating.’
“Anyway, I need to understand your sexual desires.”
‘He said he had risen to a new level with his sexual desire.’
I swallowed my complaints and patted the grumbling Cheon Bom.
“Anyway… “Have you practiced enough to be satisfactory?”
“Yes, I think I’ve definitely acquired the feeling. Thanks to you, I picked some good songs. “Idol songs are no problem anymore.”
“You picked a new song?”
“I tried composing some music for practice. “It’s just the basics, but it’s not quite right…”
“It’s at a level where you can just add lyrics and sing, right? No, it’s not that much, the lyrics are already there, right?”
When I was alone, I even sang to myself for practice.
I just said that.
“Well, that’s true… ? I think it would be better to ask the lyricist to adjust it, but…”
“That went very well!”
I held Cheon Bom’s hand happily.
“Cheon Bom is my savior!”
Hehe, suddenly, what…?”

Afternoon, Dao Entertainment’s company lounge.
Several managers in charge of idols were gathered together and chatting.
“Did you see that notice?”
As one man spoke, the other man crossed his arms and nodded at her.
“I saw it. It’s ridiculous, no, they do some kind of audition program in just a few days. Plus what? New song in 3 days? “It’s crazy, really.”
“I heard that other companies are also being invited, but how many groups will attend this? “It’s away and it feels strong from the start.”
“I would never do that. To come in with a song written in just a few days, they are openly saying, ‘Please be a blanket for us who prepared!’ “No one in our company will participate except the CEO.”
“In addition to Honey Girls, The Queens also participated.”
“Is it The Queens again?”
Among the managers grumbling and chatting, Kim Jin-seok, Cool Nine’s manager, expressed his opinion.
“The CEO is taking great care of The Queens. I believe the representative sent me a long time ago when I went to Taiwan…”
“I know. “In the past, I thought he was showing favoritism, but now I see that he’s really taking advantage of me.”
“Usually, when things are going well, there’s a lot of work. Well, it’s all about taking care of people. “If we were to come in with so much work, we wouldn’t have much to hope for.”
“If you don’t have anything to ask for, it’s not work, it’s just being used. “Manager Lee is busy releasing a new album right now, so it would be a waste of time to go to an audition like that now.”
“That’s right, even if we go out there, we’ll only be compared to the Honey Girls and end up in trouble, and there won’t be much to be gained.”
“I wonder where that is. And the CEO may be trying to promote both of them, but why have these people suddenly become more Queens fans?”
Noisy.
The managers argued for a moment, “My opinion is right, your opinion is wrong,” And then turned their heads towards the manager who had remained quiet the entire time.
“Manager Kang!”
“What do you think, Manager Kang?”
To the managers’ questions, Kang Yoon, the manager in charge of For Heart, swallowed the donut he was eating and answered with a smile.
“Hey, these people, why are they thinking so complicatedly? The CEO just opened an audition! The conditions are a bit strict! Still, if you participate and do well, it is beneficial! “You just have to think of it that way.”
“I hope Manager Kang always feels at ease.”
“Then you will leave?”
“Yes that’s right.”
The managers stopped talking at Kang Yoon’s words.
“This? Get out? “Have you received any advance notice from the CEO?”
“No, I don’t have any.”
“Have you prepared any new songs?”
“No.”
“Then why are you leaving?”
“It’s from The Queens. “If you go out there and get better grades than them, you’ll get a lot of publicity from that.”
Kang Yoon said confidently.
“Manager Kang’s confidence is amazing. “I have every intention of beating an idol with a lot of momentum.”
“Well, wouldn’t it be too risky to go on a rampage?”
“Saetbyeol said she wanted to go out.”
After seeing the audition plan, Kang Yoon naturally showed it to For Heart’s leader Saetbyeol first.
And when she found out that The Queens was participating in this project, she insisted to Kang Yoon that this would definitely be included, and Kang Yoon brightly said, ‘Okay! Thinking, ‘It’s a challenge if you’re an idol!’ She immediately applied to participate.
The managers who understood the situation exchanged glances with each other.
Well, that’s right, Manager Kang didn’t think anything of it, and Saetbyul was just doing as he said.
“Ah, is Saetbyul going out too?”
At that time, Sejin Lee appeared from behind.
They were already talking about Lee Se-jin, so while all the managers were quiet, Kang Yoon-man answered with a confident smile.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Aha. Well, I’ll see you a few times during the audition. Please take care of it. Rather, everyone, have you seen the manager?”
“We will win this time, prepare yourself?”
Kang-yoon suddenly started arguing with Lee Se-jin, who was trying to mind his own business without paying attention to Kang-yoon.
Lee Se-jin showed a sincere expression of not knowing.
“This time? “Do you win?”
“Because Saetbyul was a supporting character in the drama, Saetbyeol became less of a hot topic! “Saetbyul will absolutely win this audition.”
“It wasn’t because it was a supporting role, it was just that there was a difference in acting skills…”
Lee Se-jin just points things out bluntly without saying anything considerate.
Kang Yoon took those words for granted and continued to say what he wanted to say at his own pace.
“Don’t you want to bet?”
“A sudden bet?”
“When I looked at the plan for this audition, it looked like it was going to be a tournament format… “I’m betting that Saetbyul will beat all the Queens kids!”
Lee Se-jin, who was watching the story unfold at will, looked down at Kang Yoon for a moment and then smiled.
Startle.
At that sight, Kang Yoon felt goosebumps rise without him knowing.
It felt like some unconscious fear had come back to life.
‘What is this again…’ .’
“… “Of course I’m betting on The Queens, right?”
“Yes yes. Sure.”
“Okay, I’m betting that all of our kids will beat Saetbyul. Anyway, if it’s a bet, it means you’re betting on something… “What are you talking about?”
“Uh, what should I do?”
In response to Kang Yoon’s question, Lee Se-jin once again became expressionless and lost in thought, then grinned again.
