Chapter 237 – #33. Amazing Star (7)
Before the tournament draw begins.
We had a lot of members, so we had to decide who would go out and draw.
“Who will you choose?”
“A leader should do this.”
If the leader does it, the lucky items he has brought with him will be useless.
The moment I was about to go first to pick it up.
Jackie reacted more negatively than expected.
“I don’t like it. Have someone else do it.”
“Ok? No?”
“Uh. If you have to decide who to hire, wouldn’t Haesol hyung be the best? This hyung is so good at choosing things like this. I’ve rarely lost at rock-paper-scissors.”
“Uh? Really?”
“You are strong against big things. Because if we fight with strong penalties, we will definitely win.”
In fact, it was more that various abilities helped rather than luck.
But now that it was better for me to choose, I decided to keep my mouth shut.
“Then will your brother pick you?”
“I have to do it, what can I do?”
“And this hyung has to go out and give us a quick shot so people won’t look at us.”
“Oh! Agree.”
“I agree too!”
“Haesol hyung! Gogo!”
“…”
I don’t know when this happened.
It’s just that from a certain point on, the members use my face very usefully.
If this happens, I think that my face may become a public good.
“Go! Hasolmon!”
“Trample everything with your face!”
“I think these are my faces… What are you going to do if I don’t pull it out properly?”
“It’s enough to put that face on the screen!”
“That’s right. Even if you pick the worst, no one will resent you. Will you resent it?”
“No? Anyway, if you keep going up rounds, you’ll have a showdown. Come early or come late, that’s it.”
In the end, I came to the conclusion that I was the one who picked it.
I thought hard while fiddling with the lucky item in my jacket pocket.
‘Who should be the best team to face in the first round?’
I’d like to go against the Stone band, but if I were a Pie PD, I would never try to pit us against that band.
Isn’t the group lottery random?
I’m sorry, but it’s not.
It’s not like there’s a saying that broadcasting is a scam for nothing, it was made to look like that to viewers, but the teams that could be drawn from that box were fixed to some extent.
So, for the sake of understanding, it means that A and B are not necessarily set to face each other, but A is made to face one of B, C, D, and E.
‘That’s why there are two Lotto Boxes that look the same.’
There was not a single performer who pinched it even though they knew that the main character was included.
The amount of money invested in filming was too much to rely on complete coincidence in viewership ratings.
Because of this, it was a part that everyone had no choice but to close their eyes.
‘Who are we going to match with?’
It was put up by a Pie PD who is famous for meticulously selecting participants, so no matter who you compete with, the topic will not be lost.
However, even in that topicality, there is a main and a secondary.
‘It should be the main one.’
-From now on, we will draw to decide the tournament. When your name is called, come out and pick up your number. Anna, please come out and pick up the numbered ball.
When Anna, who is one of the leading contenders for her outstanding singing ability, was called the first place, there was a commotion here and there.
“Count from the beginning.”
“I don’t know who will take it 4 times, but I’ll get on the poop rope.”
“What is a poop rope in front of a camera, a poop rope?”
“You can’t even translate these words anyway.”
Not wanting to be matched with a candidate for first place is a common wish.
Now the number she draws will be the worst number.
We waited for the number she would choose with her nervousness full.
Anna pulled out one ball and showed her number to her camera.
Out of sight from where we were sitting, MC Jim checked the ball count and said:
-Anna picked number 3.
“If you pull 4 times, absolutely not!”
“Uh? Weak look?”
“Kuhm.”
“It’s okay even if you choose the worst. The words suddenly change?”
“Hmmmm. I trust your senses.”
These children?
Number 1 was going to play against number 2, number 3 against number 4, and so on, so the moment Anna picked number 3, number 4 became the worst number.
Pick a number one by one as MC Jim calls out.
The resulting bracket.
There were people who laughed quietly, and there were people who were hardening their impressions at the worst bracket.
We are sadly in the latter of the former and the latter situation.
“You can curse.”
“… No, don’t curse But I wonder if it would have been okay if I had picked something better for Jo~Geum.”
At Nam-gyu’s words, Kang-joon poked his side and asked.
“Change your words? Aren’t you sure you’ll win?”
“Are you sure you can win? However, it’s a little regretful that I had to go the hard way while leaving the easy way alone. To be honest, the opponent is strong.”
“It’s just a pity that the road has an uphill road all the way. It’s different because your stamina wears out.”
“Cheer up everyone! There’s nothing you can’t win!”
In fact, I am also disappointed with the results.
I guess I believed in lucky items too much.
“It’s not a confrontation right away, so let’s think about it over time. How to win.”
The opponent we were worried about was not the 1st round team.
If you win in the first round and go up in the tournament, the team you have to face in the second round is Olivia Tree, one of the candidates for first place.
Olivia Tree.
Looking at the reactions of the amazing stars, Olivia Tree is the team with the strongest support among the championship candidates.
Also, Olivia Tree’s fans were famous for having many ‘big fans’.
It was clear that those fanatics would have a lot of influence on Amazing Star’s turnout.
Olivia Tree is probably the most unbalanced team of the Amazing Star contestants.
“Are you giving up completely over there?”
The team that had to face Olivia Tree right away was in a more uproarious state than we, who were frustrated by the fact that we had to meet in the second round.
Since he is a solo singer, he has no one to complain about why he chose that number, so his feet are stomping.
It was the result of the selection by hand, so he sighed deeply and started to manage his expression, as if he knew that he was the only one to take responsibility.
He knew that even if he made a face like this, it would only be used for the program’s ratings.
Watching the process of change, I was also alerted.
‘Aren’t we no different from that person?’
He said to cheer up, but seeing the members who were full of worries about Olivia Tree, whom he would meet in the second round, he quickly came to the conclusion that it would not be good if he showed such an appearance.
“Wait for a sec. I think you’d better think about round 2 later and think about how you’re going to play round 1 now.”
“Uh? Round 1?”
Our opponents in the first round were honestly a team that we were confident of winning.
It was a fact that everyone was sure of, no matter what they might think.
Nevertheless, when I asked to focus on the first round, I was puzzled.
At least, Jeki, who was quick-witted, poked the sides of the members, warned them, and agreed with my words.
“My brother said the right thing. It’s not time to worry about the second round, you have to think about winning the first round.”
“Round 1 is very important to us. There are only 4 stages left that we can show you here. Are you going to skip the stage while worrying about the confrontation?”
“I can never do that!”
The eyes of the members flashed quickly when asked if they were going to do a rough stage.
Concerns about winning or losing a confrontation are secondary.
All we had to do was put on a proper stage and let the fans know about us.
Even if they won first place, if they couldn’t put on a satisfactory stage, even if they won, it was useless.
It was important to clear the stage right in front of me.
♧ ♧ ♧
-Oh, fuck… What to do
Peko sighed deeply after checking the opponent she would face in the first round.
No matter how you think about it, the opponent was too ridiculous.
‘There are 6 handsome men like that, how can I win!!’
It reminds me of what I saw on the VCR video.
At the time, the match had not been decided, so I didn’t know who would fight that team, but I thought it was very pitiful.
‘But I thought it would be me.’
Ruined.
It is clear that everyone will vote for fresh and handsome men who smile just by looking at them.
‘I’m to the point where you don’t want to vote for me!!’
-Hello.
-Heh~ Hot! Yes yes! Oh, hello.
Peko hastily covered her flushed face with the palm of her hand.
Anyone could see that she was nervous.
I shouldn’t be like this because the camera was filming us, but I can’t control my emotions.
‘You are so handsome! Seeing it up close will make it even more crazy.’
Her nipples point, and her belly throbs.
The itching between her crotch makes her keep rubbing her thighs.
Sniff-
‘My, it smells good too. Going crazy. What do we do? What should I say? Shall I ask for your phone number? Let’s have a friendly competition… Crazy boy! I wonder if that will work!’
In fact, she was in a state of complete dejection.
It is true that she sings her songs well.
Her face is also moderately pretty.
But that’s all.
‘A bright friend who was always in first place at a rural school transferred to a city, and I heard that it became difficult to even make it to the top 10 there.’
It seemed to her that she herself was this case.
She does well in the well she feeds on.
However, the moment the frog gets out of the well, the frog is startled.
And she gets scared.
‘I think it came out wrong!!’, He said.
The stimulation given by the six men with overwhelming charm to Peko, who was already intimidated, was too intense.
She felt more at ease losing all fighting spirit and raising the white flag.
‘I’ve become timid again!’
Even if you declared war to show victory in a confrontation confidently, you were afraid that it would not be enough.
The fact that this is being captured on camera is terrifying.
By the time her head was lowered by itself and she was overcome with gloomy feelings.
-Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell? Shall I call the producers?
The sweetest consolation in the world pierces her ears.
-Uh? Yes?
Startled, she lifted her head, and starlight rained down in front of her eyes.
– Your complexion looks bad, isn’t it uncomfortable?
-Nu, snow…
-Are your eyes sore?
‘So pretty!’
Why are the stars that should be in the sky stuck in this man’s eyes?
Thinking a little, she shook her head in tears.
-No. It doesn’t hurt. I was just nervous and my stomach hurt for a while.
-Would you like some water?
-… Hey, what’s your name?
Squeezing as much courage as possible, I asked the name of the man with stars in his eyes.
He knew that he was one of the members of the group called ‘Air Plane’, but he wanted to ask the name of this man because he did not know the details of the members.
-This is Jin Hae-sol.
The man kindly answered his question.
It was a beautiful name.
Good match with this man!
-Now, please take good care of me! No! So Joe, in the sense that I want it to be a good match…
-Sure. I hope it will be a good match.
No, no, Jin Hae-sol’s answer made Peko’s face red again.
His motivation fell to the floor at the thought that he had no choice but to lose anyway, but he couldn’t turn away his wish to have a good match with him.
Unexpectedly, Jin Hae-sol gave the opponent a lot of motivation.
‘I will never, ever ruin it!’
What woman doesn’t know the desire to look good for the man she likes?
Peko began to ignite her motivation, not even realizing that her purpose of appearing in A Star had changed.
