Chapter 157 – #22. Masked Singer 5 Crowns? (2)
“Uh…”
“Hmm…”
At the request of the writers, I started practicing my individual skills at an unexpected time.
The artist’s expression becomes ambiguous when he makes and shows a moderately patchwork dance medley.
“You dance so well…”
“Uh… Does that matter?”
“It works. Because I think I will know that I am an idol at once.”
“I didn’t tell you a few days ago, I only informed you two hours ago, but this level of quality…”
“Because you don’t have to work so hard. It’s just a little bit of MSG sprinkled during talk time…”
It wasn’t until I listened to the bewildered writers that I understood what was wrong.
Usually, if you want to ask for a personal skill, it is common to ask for it by conveying words in advance before filming.
So, on a filming day like today, it was absolutely rude to come and ask for personal skills.
“So, I asked you to prepare a dance, but did I prepare a group dance?”
“Is that right?”
“Um…”
I thought it would be a problem because I danced so well.
Of course, it is something that can be changed into a rhythmic dance.
The problem is.
“Isn’t it a waste not to show this?”
“That’s right.”
It was a dance medley that was a waste to throw away.
Even thinking about it, it was a dance medley that I put a lot of effort into.
The writers were sure that if they danced this, it would definitely become a hot topic.
It’s a waste to throw away, and burdensome to take.
Eventually, this was passed on to PD.
“He is a real handyman. I didn’t tell you in advance because I thought I would overprepare.”
I deliberately didn’t inform them in advance because I thought a rookie idol would ignore the situation in which they had to hide their identities and prepare excessively.
“PD-nim, isn’t it too much of a waste to throw this away? No one notices anyway, so let’s get rid of it right?”
“If we do that dance medley, it will definitely become a hot topic.”
There is no one here who does not know that ‘topic = viewership rating’.
There was not much of a problem with the risk that your identity might be discovered by the broadcasters, who could handle even one person in order to get good ratings.
“The reason why the white-haired prince on a dark horse is becoming a hot topic right now is because netizens couldn’t figure out his identity.”
“Anyway, the true identity will be found out later. We tried to solve the hint gently.”
“Hmm.”
“From my point of view, it would be enough to promote with my skills.”
The dance medley created in just a few hours is amazing.
It’s not that I neglected the song either.
The song I prepared today was even better than the skills I showed in the previous King of Kings match.
“Wouldn’t it be more upsetting if it became known that the white-haired prince riding a black horse is an idol? The perception of male idols is not very good. It will be a huge twist.”
After listening to the writer’s persuasion, the producer eventually changed his mind.
“Haesol, can you properly show the dance medley we showed you at the beginning?”
“I will show you not as an idol, but as a professional dancer.”
“!!”
My ambitious words caught the ears of producers and writers.
“Then please, my prince!”
The production crew left the waiting room unable to hide their happy smiles.
My manager noona also patted me on the back to see if I was proud.
“How can you talk so beautifully?”
“Did I? Please remove the sofa over there. Practice.”
“Okay! Just talk I’ll listen to you all Wouldn’t it be better to wear something more comfortable?”
The production team said they would make it as convenient as possible.
Usually, the king of singers has to sit on the throne from the first round, but they gave the convenience of being in the waiting room until the third round.
It means to prepare hard for the dance medley until then.
Since he said he wanted to become a professional dancer, he decided to raise his level.
And a few hours later, the third round began.
The challenger who climbed through the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd rounds is the ‘Sunflower Fairy King’
As a female performer, her singing skills are so great that she is well qualified to challenge for the title of singer.
Her steady, unwavering vocalization showed terrifying dynamic control, and although her identity was not fully revealed, she was unmistakably a singer.
“Now, only the stage of the king of singers against the challengers remains.”
The MC meaningfully announced the next order to the audience.
“The challenger Sunflower Fairy King who sang an explosive high-pitched song that captivated everyone’s ears! And it’s a showdown between the white-haired prince on a dark horse, the king of singers, who easily won two crowns, causing a sensation. How did you see Sunflower Fairy King’s stage before the singer started?”
“I think it was a stage that perfectly dominated the song. ‘Sunset Night’, which I sang in the 3rd round, is a very difficult song to sing. It was a stage where I wondered if the modifier “Emperor” Would fit better than king.”
Wow!
“The king of singers praised it highly. Sunflower fairy king! How do you feel? Do you think you can win?”
“I will have to try, but I am confident that I can do it.”
A voice like inhaling helium gas.
He is full of ambition, befitting his position to challenge the king of singers.
“Oh, the challenger was confident of victory. How is the king? Do you think you can win?”
“I prepared a lot to achieve the triple crown. Seeing that many people like my songs gave me a lot of courage. I don’t think I will lose easily to anyone now.”
“Aye~! Singer is also confident of victory. It’s exciting. Then, let’s start the singer’s stage from now on!”
Wow~!!!
“I’m going to stop here for a moment! Audience members must be seated for up to 30 minutes. The bathroom is at the exit on the left!”
And before my stage started, I decided to take a short break.
During the break, the staff cannot rest.
Because I have to prepare my stage.
“Do well.”
“Do not worry.”
“Okay. I believe in you! Do you need anything?”
“We’re out of water. Get some water.”
“Okay!”
Getting water was so easy.
The manager noona rushes out to get water.
I took out my cell phone that had been put on silent.
I didn’t look at my phone while watching the third round, but in the meantime, I got a call.
“Jeonghwa?”
There were 5 phone calls to Jeong-hwa, but she didn’t answer all of them, so she also sent messages.
I had never made a phone call like this before, so an ominous feeling swept over me.
I hurriedly checked the message and found that my forebodings were correct.
Jump!
[Jeonghwa: I have colic. Joo, I’m on my way to the hospital now.]
“Fuck.”
I remember that the due date was still about two weeks away.
I believed that there would be no problem with Joo-a’s sister’s health because of the health amulet, but I did not know that such a lightning would come.
I hurriedly left my seat and called Jung-hwa.
-Haesol!
“What happened?”
– He said his stomach hurts in the morning. I guess it was colic.
“What about your sister? Are you okay?”
-Are you okay. I arrived at the hospital and it’s not yet time to give birth, so I’m waiting. Were you surprised? Are you working
“I’ll go right away.”
Isn’t the fucking king of singers a problem right now?
“Haesol! Why did you come out Where are you going? We have to start filming soon.”
At that time, I ran into the manager noona head-on.
She said, surprised that Jung-hwa had heard her sister’s words.
-Oh, are you filming? I just contacted you Joo-ah is fine, so don’t worry and come filming. You can give birth to a baby in 1-2 hours, and it’s not like that. Sometimes you wait for 10 hours, or it might not come out today.
“How could I? Where is the hospital? I will go now.”
“Hey hey hey! Filming is starting soon, where are you going? Is it a hospital? What is it!!”
The manager noona blocked me and prevented me from going.
“Sister, don’t stop.”
“Then speak properly and go! If you disappear, everyone here will become Nakdong River duck eggs!”
“…”
-Hey, Jin Hae-sol!
From my point of view, the right thing to do is to run to Joo-na right away.
However, the manager’s older sister was right.
In a situation where it was difficult to make a decision easily, Joo-a’s sister’s voice was heard.
When she heard her sister’s voice, her heart, which had been beating anxiously, calmed down a little.
– You’re filming and you’re just trying to jump out? I’m sick to death, but I don’t have time to care about you either? Get out here ASAP. After all you have to do Should we show the appearance of a responsible head of household? It’s the day Blessings are born, do I want to see you get scolded?
“… Under. Okay.”
After hearing what Joo-a said, her excitement subsided a bit.
I also saw my manager noona desperately holding my arm while sweating profusely.
“I’m sorry, sister.”
“What is it? Aren’t you going? Hey please save me You can’t go out like this. I’m really in trouble with you!”
“I am not going right now. Instead, noona, please talk to PD-nim well. Just sing that song and leave right away.”
“Only songs? What is your personal skill?”
“Skill… After, should I?”
“I have to! You prepared hard Are you serious? Seeing that it was a hospital, it seems that someone you know has been seriously injured…”
“Yes. That’s right.”
Right now, the child who inherits my blood is about to be born.
I couldn’t tell the truth, so I had to hold it in.
“Okay. Then noona will take responsibility and cancel the individual period. You just have to sing and come out. Editing like that would be possible. If you win the triple crown, you just have to prepare harder and show it off the next shoot, right?”
“Yes.”
My manager noona sent me back, telling me to trust only myself, and I disappeared as if I had become an improved general.
I sat in the throne room and thought about how to quickly end the confrontation.
In the meantime, the audience who had returned from a break took their seats.
My manager sister, who didn’t show up until just before the filming started, showed up like a hero while I was waiting impatiently on the stairs to go up to the stage and told me what had happened.
“I finished talking to PD.”
“Did you say yes?”
“Huh. Personal skill is next. Instead, ask them to sing loudly. I mean, you have to win 3 crowns unconditionally. I was also promised that I would announce the results as quickly as possible.”
Hot!
I clenched my fists.
It was time for me to pay the price because the other side was considerate of me.
“I will win overwhelmingly so that it doesn’t take long for the audience to vote.”
“Okay.”
“Today, you suffered a lot because of me. I’m sorry, sister.”
“I heard that an acquaintance was seriously injured and was hospitalized, but that could be the case. Hehe, but next time don’t rush like this and think rationally. Wouldn’t you have just left if I hadn’t found it? I can’t handle that.”
“Yes. Sister. I will apologize once again after the performance is over.”
“Just do a good job on stage. Because I am done with it.”
“Yes. It will.”
If I show overwhelming skills, the audience will quickly end the vote without worrying.
Then, as my sister said, I should be able to go to the hospital ‘as soon as possible after everything is finished’.
After opening the water bottle abandoned by the manager sister, drinking a sip of water, and arranging the mask, the filming began.
On the big stage.
Unlike usual, the stage alone seemed a bit unfamiliar at first.
But now, the unfamiliarity and countless stares from the audience were not at all burdensome.
‘Is this a milk powder?’
Blessing will be born soon.
A heavy sense of responsibility wrapped around my body, probably because of the thought that I had to raise Bok-ki well.
Jeonju flows.
Bringing the microphone to my mouth, I opened my mouth as if to let out all the emotions that are hard to explain in words.
Just this moment.
Thinking that no one in the world can sing better than me.
I spit out the lyrics like that.
