Chapter 128 – Chapter 128
****
Belt-. Belt-. Belt. Tiff.
After going to the private practice room provided by the company and practicing vocals for a long time, Jiyoon returned home and pressed the door lock very carefully.
She didn’t want to wake the members who were sleeping in the middle of the day, as it was already well past midnight.
It did n’t make the machine sound quieter when she pressed it carefully, but it was certain that it was less on her nerves when she pressed it slowly than it did when she pressed it quickly.
Swoop-.
Jiyoon quietly opened her front door and came in. Without making a sound, she took off her shoes and walked to her room with her with her feet on her toes.
‘What is it, Lee Chae-rin? She still doesn’t sleep and says she’s playing games… ?’
However, when she entered the room, her roommate, Chae-Rin, was not sleeping. She was busy playing games with her headset on.
Jiyoon carefully closed the door, looked at Chaerin’s back her, let out a deep sigh, and then walked over to Chaerin and took off her headset her.
The sound of her game was so loud that Jiyoon could clearly hear the sound emanating from her headset her.
“Uh, what is it? Is your sister here?”
“Chaerin Lee. You told me not to play games so loud. What are you going to do if you lose your hearing?”
“All right. Draw it quickly or give it away I’m doing something important right now.”
“… Are you going to just do that and turn off the game?”
“Well? I don’t even have a schedule for tomorrow, so why me?”
“… “
When Chae-rin said her words like that, Ji-yoon said she had nothing to say, so she could only hesitate.
If it had been three years ago, I could have forced her to turn off the game due to her age her, but now Chaerin, the youngest member of the group, is also a full-fledged adult. Since she doesn’t have a schedule for tomorrow, she said she would play games until late, but she had no reason to stop it.
It was just that the fact that there were no schedules for tomorrow only made my heart bitter.
“Yeah, but you don’t know when something will happen, so you have to sleep in moderation. Got it… ?”
“What the. Why should I listen to my sister?”
“What…?”
“Your sister doesn’t even listen to me. Even the vocal teacher tells me to stop practicing, but I always go to the practice room and overuse my vocal cords … And what if that crazy stalker does something to her sister her, what is she going to do so late without her manager brother?”
“Yeah, that’s because it’s right near the dorm… It doesn’t really matter.”
“Done. My sister does n’t listen to me, so I never listen to her. Because her sister is a dictator, not a leader.”
“What? What are you saying to your sister right now?”
Widely-.
Cherin didn’t even listen to Jiyoon’s words, she snatched her headset from Jiyoon’s hand and covered her ears.
Shocked by Chae-rin’s appearance as if she had completely cut off communication with her, Ji-yoon stood still, staring at Chae-rin’s back for a while.
I knew that she was under a lot of stress and that she had become a little bit picky lately, but I would never have thought that Chaerin, who was always the cute maknae, would show her rebellious side of her to this extent.
Even after barely moving her feet, washing herself and lying on the bed, Jiyoon couldn’t calm her troubled mind her.
‘It’s all my fault… The fact that Chaerin ended up like that… Because I, the leader, couldn’t teach properly… If Solar was popular because I worked harder… ‘
There was no way there could be discord in a popular group. Everything worked out well and the world revolved around them, but there was no need to raise their voices and fight.
But unfortunately, Solar was not a popular group. It wasn’t completely unknown since it was in their third year of debut, but they didn’t have a single hit song, so unless you’re interested in the idol version, you wouldn’t even know the name of the group. At least, they are so kind and docile, so they’ve been living without any major problems until now, but believing that they’ll be fine someday, being positive was also at their limit before they knew it. Watching Chaerin’s rebellious attitude, Jiyoon could clearly feel that fact.
‘But what can I do? You have to work harder and hold on. Working harder than ever… I worked hard… ‘
Jiyoon swallowed back the tears that were still welling up in her eyes. She knew that crying wouldn’t solve anything. At that time, practicing choreography and singing, or at least preparing a personal skill to show people, was a much more correct way to overcome this difficulty. Of course she knew, and that’s why Jiyoon worked harder than anyone else.
She doesn’t know how many times she fainted while practicing for three years without eating. Even in the private practice room where I listened whenever I had free time, I often collapsed while singing, and when that happened, I got up and sang again. In order to live up to the expectations of her staff and fans of her, Jiyoon pushes herself to the limit, then when she collapses, she gets back up and pushes again. For the sake of the day when people will recognize these accumulated efforts.
‘Hard… If you work hard… Until when…… ‘
Tadadadak-.
Jiyoon pulled her blanket up to her head as if she didn’t want to hear the sound of the keyboard coming from next to her.
But actually, she was afraid that Chaerin would find out she was crying.
No matter how hard it is, if the leader collapses, then it really is the end.
With just that thought, Jiyoon barely swallowed the bursting cries.

“What, did you eat ramen yesterday? My eyes are swollen.”
“Yes? Oh no, brother. Just… I slept a little late yesterday and it must have been swollen.”
“Okay…? Jiyoon-ah, no matter how busy you are, you have to take care of it. You never know when something might happen like today.”
“Yes, brother. I’m sorry.”
“Sorry what? Just like that.”
At the call of the new CEO, Solar’s members were heading to Star Enter from the dorm in a car.
After getting into the car, the manager who was checking to see if all four members were on board checked Jiyoon’s swollen face and said something, but after that, her car was quiet.
It wasn’t usually loud, but it was so quiet even when it was quiet. Uee, the youngest member of the same line and a Japanese member who was sitting next to Chaerin, looked at her and stabbed Chaerin in the side of her.
“Oh, what?”
Chae-rin, who was resting with her eyes closed after barely sleeping after playing games until dawn, nervously replied to her Yui, who disturbed her own rest her.
“You. Did you fight with Jiyoon unnie yesterday?”
“… “
“Why haven’t you spoken to Jiyoon unnie since morning? Didn’t you make Ji-yoon’s sister cry because Ji-yoon’s eyes were swollen?”
“… Done. I’m going to sleep, so don’t touch me.”
“What did you say. Even if there is a blockage, it will arrive in 10 minutes.”
“Ah, I’m going to rest for 10 minutes, so don’t touch me!”
Chaerin gave her one word to Yui and closed her eyes again.
And Hyena, who was sitting in the front row of Chaerin and Uee, listening closely to their conversation, opened her mouth as she made eye contact with Jiyoon, who was next to her.
“Really. Sister? Did you fight with Chaerin yesterday?”
“Yes? What do you mean, Hyena? Didn’t anything happen with Chaerin?”
“Don’t make excuses for nothing. Sister, you’re the worst liar in the world.”
“What, what are you saying? It’s not like that…?”
Ji-yoon was evasive until the end, but Hye-na, who was quick-witted, was able to guess what happened between Ji-yoon and Chae-rin last night.
Hyena moved her head and whispered to Jiyoon in his ear her.
“My manager secretly came to practice and then entered the room… Perhaps Chaerin was playing a game. Is it not?”
“Ugh… “
“But Chaerin must have been quite rebellious because her older sister went alone and she hated practicing all night. Even when she tells me to stop, she just keeps playing games… Seeing her sister’s eyes swollen like this, she must have been waiting for it to be unreasonable. Right… ?”
“Cheap, cheap… ! It’s not like that. Chae and Chaerin also think of me in their own way… “
“So-. You mean what happened with Chaerin is true? OK, that’s it.”
“Oh, no. It’s not like that…”
Hye-na succeeded lightly in her judo paper and sat back in her seat, glaring at Chae-rin, who was closing her eyes, in the back seat with her cold eyes.
Looking at that, Jiyoon could sense that today she was going to get Hyena right in her Chaerin her.
To her eldest sister her, Ji-yoon, Chae-rin was good at acting childish and had a good temper, but to Hye-na, who was second in rank, she was toxic.
Hyena was called her Ice Princess by her fans, partly because of her glamorous and haughty appearance of her, but more so because of her cold-hearted personality of her as her face of her. When it comes to mistakes that cross the line, no matter how friendly they are, they don’t look at them, only facts, and logically pushes them until a sincere apology comes from the person who made the mistake. It was Chaerin and Uee. Her eldest sister and team leader was Ji-yoon, but Hye-na was in fact the head of Solar’s military discipline.
“Don’t worry too much, sister. The company won’t scold you.”
“Oh, no. No need to scold…”
“Okay, we have arrived. Let’s get off.”
Ji-yoon tried to calm Hye-na, whose eyes glowed coldly, but in the meantime, the car had already arrived at the company parking lot.
The members who got off the car accustomedly went to the choreography practice room and warmed up, but Uee, who couldn’t stand the stiff atmosphere as they still didn’t talk to each other, spoke first to lighten the mood.
“… New representative. I heard you’re all ikemen?”
“Ikemen? What is it?”
“Well… Handsome? Hot guy? So, that’s what it means.”
Although Japanese came out by mistake in an awkward atmosphere, Yui was able to easily achieve her original goal of her.
As soon as the keyword ‘representative’ was decided, the members’ mouths began to open as if it had been quiet.
“Okay? I heard I’m Middle Eastern… ?”
“Me too. So, do you feel like a handsome Arab prince?”
“… I don’t like people with thick features. So, Middle Eastern men are a bit…”
When Chaerin suddenly grabbed the hair of Middle Eastern men, Uee felt that the opportunity she had been waiting for had come. It was necessary to act like a clown once in order to properly change the atmosphere that had been low pressure since morning.
As if she had read her own mind her, feeling grateful to Chaerin for setting her up properly, Uee raised the corners of her mouth and opened her mouth as she looked at Chaerin with a mocking expression.
“Yeah~ Even Middle Eastern men don’t like small breasts like Chaerin’s.”
“OMG. What, what… ! You, you don’t have breasts either… !!”
“Yeah~ But it’s not a watashi A cup death. Whoa-. Poor Chaerin-chan, because she played games all night, her school grades her were F, but her heart she became an A…”
“What?! So what do you do after sleeping under the covers all night? Hey, do you think you don’t know that I do weird things while watching erotic videos on my phone?”
“High? Watashi Nihonjinkara I don’t know Korean. Tsumimasen, small breasts, small breasts, Cherin-chan…!”
“Ah-oh! Only at times like this, they say they are Japanese!! You speak Korean better than me!! And I can hear everything about small breasts!!”
Because it was Yui-led, it smelled strongly of Japanese comedy, but the atmosphere was much better than before.
Jiyoon, who was laughing and watching Uee and Chaerin, who were arguing, clapped their hands and drew the members’ attention.
“Ruler-. Hey guys. Let’s stop chatting and guess the songs from the first album. When the new representative comes, I don’t know what to order, so I practice everything at least once.”
At Jiyoon’s words, the members nodded and started practicing in earnest.
And when the members were in the middle of practicing, Minjun sneaked into the practice room and sat in the corner quietly watching the members.
‘Well done. Do well. My children.’
A smile did not leave Minjun’s lips as he confirmed the talents of Solar’s members using the teacher’s mind.
If I had to give buffs, it was natural to want to give them to pretty girls who listened to me, but that was exactly what Solar’s members were.
In addition, in Jiyoon’s case, she was even wearing Adadas leggings, an S-class sacred item that she was very hard to find, so she was particularly interested.
‘I know just because I hear your voice. Yes, you were the uninvited guest who came to you when you were having sex with Dayoung. It’s so nice to see them working hard!’
So, Min-Jun was watching Solar’s members with great satisfaction, but Solar’s manager, who had finally discovered Min-Jun, approached in a hurry and bowed his head.
“Hello! CEO! Solar manager Kim Jin-hyeok, team leader!”
“Yes. Hello. Chief Kim. Let’s watch for now and talk to you later.”
“Yes! CEO!”
Minjun said that and tried to watch Solar again, but the Solar members checked Team Leader Kim’s hurried movement through the mirror and noticed that the CEO had arrived at the practice room.
When the song stopped, the members, who had been doing their best to pose to appeal to the CEO, looked at each other and then turned around at the same time. And the pupils of the four people who found Minjun widened at once.
‘OMG… So good, so handsome…!’
‘… Great.’
‘Wow… ‘
The members, who were surprised by the fact that he was not from the Middle East and once more by the young and handsome visual of a handsome actor, approached Min-jun hesitantly, barely calming their beating hearts.
“Hello. CEO!”
Leader Jiyoon sang first and bowed her head, and the other members bowed their heads as well.
“Hello. My name is Kim Min-joon, who will be the new CEO of Star Entertainment.”
Minjun, who received the members’ greetings in a polite manner, reached out and shook hands with the members.
He didn’t do it simply because he wanted to hold hands with a girl group, but to get the members’ favor as quickly as possible while doing skinship like this. He was originally also Minjun, the incarnation of sexual desire, but now he is in a much more horny state because his eyes are completely turned when he sees the holy relic.
Min-Jun made eye contact with each one of them and shook hands with the voice of the prophet and even the aura of the leader.
“Hello. CEO. I am Park Ji-yoon, Solar’s main vocalist and leader.”
“Okay. Nice to meet you. Mr. Jiyun.”
The moment Minjun and Jiyoon shook hands, passing through Chaerin and Uee, a strange moan suddenly erupted from Jiyoon’s mouth as he grabbed Minjun’s hand. He tried to hold it in, but he could n’t stand the tingling feeling he felt all over his body his as he held Minjun’s hand his.
“Wh-. Ah, ah-…”
