What, whats that?
All members except for me turned their heads toward the direction of the sound, startled.
Perhaps feeling a sense of duty as the leader, Kim Seonghyeon was the first to jump up and approach the door.
But when he tried to pull the doorknob, it just rattled without opening.
It wont open.
Just now, what
Jeong Dajun said, his eyes wide and stumbling over his words.
A scream, isnt that dangerous? Call, call
Then
Aaaaaaaah!
Yet another scream echoed, followed by
Uwaaaaaaaah!
Aaaah!
Then, something fell from the ceiling with a thud.
The leader and the maknaethe two scaredy-catscovered their eyes and screamed like mad.
Waaaaah! What, what is it?!
Go back, guys, go back! Go back!
What do you mean, go back.
Ahaha.
Kim Seonghyeon tried to flee to a corner, pulling Kang Ichae, who flinched slightly, along with me, who remained impassive, and Seong Jiwon, who, far from being scared, actually burst into laughter.
But then Seong Jiwon tilted his head for a moment and boldly approached the object swinging from the ceiling.
This is a model?
Kim Seonghyeon timidly spread his fingers apart, peeking through to see with his own eyes.
What fell from the ceiling was a red-painted model resembling a person.
A model?
While Jeong Dajun and Kim Seonghyeon clung to each other, trying to calm their pounding hearts, Kang Ichae discovered a mission note pinned to the models clothing.
Its a mission?
Kim Heeyeon, I knew it would be something like this.
Somehow today, the laughter seemed particularly hearty, and everything appeared livelier.
After all, it was as rare as a unicorn for a PD to have a bright and lively smile, considering that overtime and pressure were as common as three meals a day.
It just didnt exist.
Ding!
[Wow Birds of a feather]
What was I supposed to do about it?
Though on the verge of tears, Kim Seonghyeon asked calmly,
What, what does the mission note say?
Ill read it~.
Correction: The leader was not calm.
Kang Ichae slowly read what was written on the paper.
Shining Star Season 2, the first mission begins. Find the note in a haunted broadcasting station mission!
Excuse me?
Still unable to shake off the shock, Jeong Dajun, who was sitting in a corner and shivering with fear, suddenly perked up at Kang Ichaes words.
The face-off will be divided into dance, vocal, and rap units. Perform on stage in front of the public wearing masks and hats, and the person who receives the most votes will gain a special benefit. What song to perform and how many minutes you have will vary by the note.
?
The notes are hidden in Ahh! The broadcasting station is so, so scary. Two members must explore the broadcasting station filled with resentful ghosts during the night to find the note.
Two members!!
Jeong Dajun stood up with a fist clenched.
Then, Hoyun-hyung and Jiwon-hyung should go!!
It had not even been a year since someone said, I said I wanted to be helpful to the hyungs, and that someone was already trying to kick me out with bloodshot eyes.
Those two didnt even blink an eye! Even Ichae-hyung shivered!!
Bangbang-ah, hyung is scared too.
Hoyun-hyung, if youre going to lie, at least wet your mouth first!
Im scaaared.
After wetting my mouth and speaking, Jeong Dajun gave me a deathly glare.
Ah~, I dont mind going.
Seong Jiwon said, seemingly disappointed.
But it seems like we cant do that?
What, what is it?
Seong Jiwon glanced at Jeong Dajuns eyes before continuing to read.
The participants for this exploration are the two who screamed the loudest. The production team will decide based on the measured decibels.
!
Jeong Dajuns mouth fell open.
For reference, there were only two people here who had screamed loudly.
At that moment, a strange mechanical voice flowed through the meeting room speaker.
[96dB Jeong Dajun, 88dB Kim Seonghyeon, please come out.]
!!!
And so, their faces turned pale.
.
.
.
[Aaaaaaah!]
[Waaaaaaaaah! Jeong Dajun! Come here!]
[Hyung, hyung! Dont leave me behind! Seonghyeon-hyuuuuung!]
[What, what? Then what am I holding onto right now Aaaaah!]
It was complete chaos.
The remaining three were led to another meeting room by the staff, where they were treated to tea and desserts while monitoring Kim Seonghyeon and Jeong Dajun in real-time.
The dance line is really romantic~.
Look at Dajun holding a ghosts arm instead.
But they didnt give up halfway.
We were simply enjoying ourselves.
Laughing heartily, I picked a Shine Muscat grape from the top of a piece of cake with cream.
The scene where Kim Seonghyeon (half-crying) serenaded a ghost hiding in the third bathroom stall with aegyo to get a note was a masterpiece.
Ahaha, Seonghyeon sings well.
Seong Jiwon, who seemed to have picked up a bit from Kang Ichae and me over the year, was also enjoying himself.
Next to him, Kang Ichae was laughing out loud, hitting the table with his hand.
The staff member standing opposite whispered to Kim Heeyeon after seeing that.
Theyve been the most annoyingly mocking among the group so far.
Good, good~.
Eventually, running as if chased by ghosts until the very end, Kim Seonghyeon and Jeong Dajun arrived at the meeting room.
Weve arrived!!!
Arrived!!!!
After tumbling and falling, they both had grimy faces.
Wow~.
Congratulations~.
Clap, clap, clap.
The staff and members gave them applause that lacked any soul.
Ding!
[This lukewarm congratulation]
It took about 1 hour and 21 minutes. Congratulations on finishing.
I want to cry.
Me, me, someone hug me.
Two scaredy cats came sniffling over.
Being so innocent, they probably didnt even know what fun the others members had in the waiting room while waiting for them.
That person, its him!
What?
The Humble Confession, him!
What?
If you really dont know, once more.
Listening carefully, it indeed seemed like it.
Eh?
Having watched Please Take the Camera, the OST had been drilled into my ears countless times.
Distinguishing a familiar voice was easy.
Cant help it, I will tell you until you know.
Right! Right!
It seems right?!
Excitement grew with the realization.
The expressions of those around seemed to indicate that they too were thinking the same.
Say You Love Me
Crazy, crazy!
At that moment, I screamed and frantically pressed the vote button.
As Humble Confession-Him duet reached its climax, the numbers displayed above the screen surged crazily.
[109]
First place.
Although the fifth team still remained, compared to the previous teams, the voting score was overwhelmingly high.
Soon after, the fifth performance also came to an end, and the scores were tallied, but the rankings remained unchanged.
Ah, it has to be, right?!
Told you! Who else would draw this much attention??
Looking around, it seemed that most people were as engrossed as they were in figuring out if the person they expected from the fourth duet was the right one.
Alright! Voting is now closed. Please remove your masks in order!
Following this, starting from the very left to the third group, they took off their hats and masks in time with the instrumental of the song they sang, greeting the audience.
Aaaah!
Seeing the cheers erupt from around them, it seemed like they were idols.
However, my friend and I were waiting for a different introduction.
?
Just then, the first part of the song sung by the fourth duet played.
As the spotlight came back on, two tall men wearing hats and masks stood on the stage.
Team D! Please remove your masks!
Following the staffs voice transmitted through the speaker, one of them took off his mask and hat first.
A brown-haired man with a slightly smiling, gentle face appeared, causing his friend to mutter almost absentmindedly in awe.
Crazy, holy shit.
The man, backlit by white lighting that seemed like a halo, looked like an angel to even those who knew nothing.
Hey, what the Hes freaking handsome?
Damn, crazy! Im searching him up now!
My friend quickly took out his phone and started searching Humble Confession on a web portal and soon compared the photo of the singer he found with the face of the man standing before them.
Seong Jiwon? Hey, it must be him!
It is, it is!!
But our chatter couldnt continue.
Because screams erupted from around us.
Aaaahhh!!
Turning our gaze forward, the other person next to the angel also took off his black hat.
It was a face all too familiar to me.
Crazy.
Please Take the Camerathat PD.
Lee Jeonghun.
The material for a supporting male, that supporting actor!!
What an asshole PD!!
Without realizing, I yelled, forgetting even to maintain appearances.
But this wasnt embarrassing since everyone around found themselves in a similar situation.
The PD from Please Take the Camera and the angel exchanged glances, smiled slyly, and waved lightly toward the audience.
Wow, this is totally goosebump-inducing.
What, what, is this a drama??
I was excitedly making a fuss with my friend.
Aaaaaah!!
A cheer and admiration unlike any before filled the air.
Turning our heads, two men at the very right end were removing their masks.
Huh?
He was an idol, familiar even to the uninitiated.
.
.
.
Shit
I fluttered my eyelashes rapidly.
After the preliminary meeting, there were various calculations.
In fact, if it came to a Humble Confession, taking first place was almost a given.
To appeal to the public while keeping ones face hidden, it was important to produce a familiar song with a familiar voice, and securing such an advantage in the competition was only natural.
However,
It would be boring to win first place with just Humble Confession.
If it seemed too easy or selfish, the picture painted wouldnt be a good one.
So, to create a decent board within an appropriate line, I had to use a bit of cunning.
With Seong Jiwon, whose voice was quite well-known, leading, and my participation which could bring an issue afterward, I was confident that we could definitely secure the topic of conversation later.
If we had Seong Jiwon, with his S-rated singing stat, I was confident we could take first place with any song.
Damn it!
Yes, winning first place up to the face-off was possible.
Ahaha, hello.
That was unexpected.
High Five!
High five.
The next-generation representative idol group, super rookie, monster newcomers.
Whatever words were added, it made sense, being a junior group directly under Black Call.
They clearly werent in the initial lineup and didnt actually need to be
It was the arrival of a group that didnt match our level.
Joo Woosung, this guy, somehow didnt tell me
No matter how much I pestered Joo Woosung this time, I got no answers.
Shining Star contestants? I really dont know~.
Then, goodbye.
Consistently rude little shit.
No matter how much I pestered the guy who rattled off about Shining Star Season 2, he wouldnt open his mouth about the cast.
He just shrugged his shoulders shamelessly, playing dumb.
I knew it would be like this.
A High Five member looked this way and slightly waved their hand.
I also smiled back at High Five.
Of course, my mind was cooling down quickly.
At the same time, Kim Heeyeons words came to mind.
You should aim for first place.
Hey, Kim Heeyeon.
Youre telling me to compete with these guys and win first place?
