Chapter 31
Ah, just kidding.
I winked with one eye. But knowing that it wasnt a joke, Yu Hyeoks face turned red from his ears.
Even if a large corporation invested capital, what cant be done, cant be done.
Fools. They couldnt see the bigger picture.
Moreover, the song by White Cherry was so famous that it worked against them. Even when they mixed in the concept of The Little Mermaid, the result was still similar to White Cherrys original track, so it didnt stand out as unique.
Todays members were talented, so they might become the talk of the town for a while, but the original performance was still much better.
You, you!
Well get going now!
Nodding to the staff, all The Dawn members left, and Yu Hyeok missed his chance to argue again.
Seeing his speechless face, I felt refreshed and went on stage in high spirits. Seong Jiwon also had a refreshing look on his face, as if he had downed a whole case of soda.
The staffs bewildered voice was heard as the dazzling stage lights enveloped The Dawn members.
Is their concept really Peter Pan?
Yes, it is
But why are they dressed as pirates?
These costumes were deliberately hidden during the rehearsal. As I heard these words, I saw the corner of Kang Ichaes mouth rise.
Before asking Lim Hyeonsu to arrange the song, we had a conversation amongst ourselves.
In Peter Pan, theres not only Tinker Bell. Theres a character that fits our concept perfectly.
Captain Hook? A pirate?
Exactly. Actually, theres a story that Captain Hook is incredibly charming. He hates Peter Pan because he cut off his arm, but its said hes gentle to Wendy.
Seong Jiwon added his opinion.
So, are we pushing a story about a pirate falling for the other party?
Thats the plan.
Like Girls Want You.
A fresh and lively unrequited love song where the other person doesnt see me, but I still slowly approach and confess in frustration. Originally, the concept was based on cheerful American cheerleaders, but the arrangement could be changed at will depending on how you look at it.
Tick-tock, tick-tock.
The sound of a ticking clock flowed out.
Traumatized by having their arm cut off by an alligator, the pirates, afraid of the ticking sound, covered their ears and crouched.
In an instant, the stage brightened.
Kwaang!
At the sound of the cannon, everyones eyes widened, and Kang Ichae jumped over the members and burst onto the front of the stage.
My fellow pirates, this is our show time!
Swoosh- Splash!
With that, Seong Jiwon stood up. Instead of a clocks ticking sound, fierce waves crashing against the ship could be heard. The lively song changed to a bright and cheerful beat with a hint of a siren, making the day feel even more electrifying.
Hello, let me greet you once, Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com
You there walking by, why dont you see me?
Right now Im giving you the message.
The song switched to a tempo that exuded the American high teen styles dangerous yet alluring scent.
As expected of Lim Hyeonsu, her touch on the music was simply incredible.
Kim Seonghyeon blocked Seong Jiwons path and smiled at the camera.
Look at me, not the one beside you,
Dont you think wed be a perfect match?
Kim Seonghyeon raised one hand above his eyes, gesturing as if he were looking out at the distant ocean. At the same time, he showed a motion of turning his other hand, which was holding a key, to the right.
It felt like he was swaying on a ship sailing across the ocean.
Its not them, Ive said it so many times,
Hes so selfish,
Ill only look at you, making sure you wont regret it,
Trust me.
Jeong Dajun fiercely stepped forward. It was hard to believe he was the same person who had been trembling and playing the recorder just a moment ago.
Its not them points to Peter Pan, and me refers to the pirate.
As Dajun raised his hand, the camera moved upward and swiftly closed on me.
I know youre wavering.
I leaned against the set and brushed my hair back while looking at the camera. I approached with the sailors characteristic swaying steps and curled the corners of my lips into a smile.
Eventually, youre meant to come my way,
But dont make me wait too long.
Kang Ichae held a pocket scope, blinking and pretending to observe. Suddenly, he stumbled and fell below. At the same time, the sound of something falling into the water could be heard.
Kwoosh!
As the bubbling sound echoed, the song reached its highlight. The lighting turned a deep blue like it was submerged in the ocean. Seong Jiwon walked forward with a swaying gait, clutching his throat and frowning as if he was drowning.
I might just lose my mind in your smile, in your words,
Ive already fallen for you.
At the same time, Kim Seonghyeon slowly picked up the triangular hat on the ground, casually placed it on his head, and then opened his mouth.
Maybe I cant do it anymore,
Perhaps Ive already lost,
But still, I muster up the courage and walk towards you.
His gaze met Seong Jiwons.
The final highlight. Leaving behind the bubbling sound, it rose above the sea.
I really want you.
In Like Girls Want You, the previously descending final note was raised to its highest.
As soon as Seong Jiwon and my stable doubling ended, the refreshing sound of water accompanied the vessels arrival to the surface, breaking the stages tension again.
Kim Seonghyeon threw his hat up towards the now-brightened lights.
Well,
Kang Ichae, who caught the hat with the sharp tip of his sword, playfully whirled it around and flashed a mischievous grin.
It looks like I dont need fairy dust.
At the same time, Jeong Dajun joined in and flawlessly sang the hook.
Its not them, Ive said it so many times,
Hes so selfish,
Ill only look at you, making sure you wont regret it,
Trust me.
Seong Jiwon must be going crazy with excitement.
As we entered the group dance, the sound of sirens echoed, and a flashy dance performance unfolded.
Gradually, the beat slowed down, and the members rotated accordingly.
Hello, let me greet you once again.
Seo Hoyun! Show us the next technique!
Do you want to see it?
Yes~!
Ah your voice is a bit low.
Uwu~!
Really, do you want to see it?
YES~!!
The staff members were going wild.
Having seen all sorts of techniques in the entertainment industry, they were amazed by this rookie idols performance.
Seo Hoyun! Seo Hoyun!
The already defeated Today members were bitterly cornered. Kang Ichae was in high spirits as he laughed and cheered by my side.
Next one.
I stood up, opening the bottle cap with a spoon.
The staff members held their glasses, their eyes shining brightly as they waited. I deliberately used a snap to fill each of their glasses from a distance.
Wow!
Me too! Please fill mine up as well!
Ill go in the order of gratitude.
Hoyun, I think Ive been good to you.
No, I took better care of him!
Seo Hoyun hadnt died yet.
I proudly and diligently filled the glasses. It seemed like I had utterly defeated the Today members.
Kang Ichae excitedly hopped around and laughed.
Hyung, how on earth do you do this?
Just learn it to death.
But where do you learn something like this?
Where else would I have learned it? I learned it at the broadcasting station while pleasing the director.
I also learned to secretly pour soju into rice balls or soy sauce. However, I couldnt tell a newcomer like Kang Ichae.
Ill be back after getting some fresh air for a moment.
Hoyun, hurry back. Dilute my drink, please.
I dont want to.
Hahaha, youre so cold~.
The staff members laughed and let me go. At least they properly set the mood, and it seemed the Dawn members received special care.
As soon as I went outside, my body shivered. It was unexpectedly cold.
Usually, I would have smoked a cigarette, but I couldnt now.
Ding!
[Why did you go out? Youre not even drunk.]
I am drunk.
[I saw you pouring it into the rice ball earlier.]
Oh my.
Thats possible.
I was clear-headed and found mingling and responding to people bothersome, but there was a separate reason. I looked outside and saw the tip of a cigarette beyond the wall.
As expected.
I slowly approached, pretending it was a coincidence.
Oh.
Hello.
It was PD Kim Heeyeon. She was holding a bottle of alcohol in one hand and gulping it down like water.
Shes still the same, the same.
Kim Heeyeon grinned without any embarrassment.
You were truly wonderful.
Thank you.
Where on earth did you learn that? It shouldnt have been at your agency.
Its a talent.
Goodness
Perhaps because of the alcohol, Kim Heeyeons laughter trickled.
Anyway, Seo Hoyun, youll become very popular among our staff. I dont know about other groups, though.
True.
Your performance earlier was great as well. As an insider speaking, it was honestly the best one.
Really?
Really.
Kim Heeyeon sighed.
So, more ah, never mind. Just forget it.
This kind of talk was a bit bitter. Our performance might have been the best, but it still wouldnt make us number one. Shining Star was a program where the first place had already been decided to go to Today.
Kim Heeyeon swallowed her words and drank the rest of the bottle.
PD.
Yes?
You changed our order to the last one, right?
I didnt do that. It happened because of issues with the filming schedule.
Is that so?
As she tried to laugh it off, Kim Heeyeon froze. She seemed worried that I had caught on to her intentions.
Anyway, thank you.
For what?
Just for being grateful. That was exactly what I wanted.
At that moment, Kim Heeyeons eyes wavered as if she was thinking, No way. But then a sharp voice came from behind.
Whats the deal with Seo Hoyun and her?
It was Today.
