[148] To The Top(1)

After Good Bus King and Invincible Marine Corps broadcast,

Solar’s awareness in the U.S. Rose rapidly.

Enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with top artists.

So, Kiara and Yeji will be on the rehearsal stage at the same time today.

Los Angeles Dodger Stadium, the main venue for the All-Star game.

A few days later, it was the place where the stars competed.

“Yeji, aren’t you nervous?”

“Yes! The CEO came with me.”

“You speak beautifully.”

“Are you pretty?”

“…”

Of course, the face is prettier.

The word doesn’t come out well these days.

“CEO, when will our Korean activities resume?”

“Do you want to go back?”

“No. America is fine as long as I’m with the CEO.”

“…”

These days, Yeji often said things that made her heart flutter.

‘If the…’

Rumor has it that Yeji is dating the company CEO.

Will he be able to avoid fans’ grievances and criticism?

“What do you think?”

“Yes?”

Yeji comes closer and closes her face before she knows it.

“… It’s too close.”

“Ah yes.”

Except for the back of his head, he was an ordinary person.

Thanks to his grandmother, he has risen to this position.

“Do you have any thoughts of wanting to act these days?”

“I’ll do it if you ask me.”

“A few come in, though.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

After the box office success of Royland, it was coming in occasionally.

Among them, there was a Hollywood movie starring role.

‘That’s true, but…’

First a small web drama, then a supporting role in a Hollywood movie.

Is it because the gap difference is too big?

There hasn’t been a work that has yet to come.

Rather, a drama that properly verifies your acting skills might be better.

“I’ll go to the bathroom for a minute.”

“I’m coming too.”

“No.”

Isn’t it a big deal if we go to the bathroom together?

“CEO, I’m going to fix my makeup.”

“… I knew.”

“I don’t think so.”

“Don’t tease me. I’m scolded.”

“Lol.”

Then, I found a child running around with a balloon in the hallway.

‘… Kiara?’

I think the two will collide.

At that time, a person in a suit stopped the boy.

The child fell over with a thud, as if hitting a wall.

“Damn.”

Soon, Kiara spoke in a voice mixed with annoyance.

“Little boy! Don’t run around in the hallways!”

“Ahhh.”

Kiara glares at the crying child and goes her own way.

She accidentally made eye contact with her.

She smiled and took her steps onto the stage.

“Baby, are you okay?”

“It hurts.”

Yeji comforts a fallen child by raising him up.

She has a pretty heart, a pretty face, and sings well.

“CEO! Please come and see if the store sells bands over there!”

“… Now?”

“Yeah.”

We also need to prepare quickly.

I don’t have time to procrastinate like this.

In an instant, a tickling sensation came from the back of my head.

“Come on!”

“Yes.”

I think we need to find the lost parents first.

Still, it was fortunate that Kiara was in order before us.

“Yeji, here’s a bandage.”

“Thanks!”

* * *

Yeji and Kiara.

Originally, which of the two ＜main＞

It was self-evident that he would go on stage.

America is a country with a stronger patriotism than any other country.

“The president of the association.”

Of course, it was Kiara’s share.

“The invincible Marines are much higher than I thought.”

“Right.”

The current situation has gone bizarrely.

Americans’ respect for their soldiers was enormous.

Somi and Yeji appeared together in Brain.

People see the two as a team.

‘This is clearly what I was aiming for.’

A non-mainstream variety show, the invincible Marine Corps suddenly emerged.

And that, of course, at such exquisite timing.

Could this be a coincidence?

Following Good Busking, the invincible Marines performed well.

Twice in a row could not be dismissed as a coincidence.

After a while,

By the time Kiara is preparing for her rehearsal stage first.

The president of the association confirmed a certain person sitting in the VIP seat.

“What, I thought no one was in the audience right now?”

“Senator Piolo has come to visit.”

“What!? Why are you saying that now!”

“He said he visited with his young son…”

“Then you should say hello.”

Senator Piolo watches the annual professional baseball All-Star Game.

There was no place in the field of sports and art that his breath did not reach.

Drooling-

I hastened my steps to meet him.

An unexpected person caught my eye in the hallway.

‘That person…’

CEO Jeong Soo-ho, it was the first time I actually saw him.

Why are you comforting a crying boy?

Even with the singer ahead of the rehearsal stage.

“Yeji must be running out of time.”

“President of the association, the member is waiting for you.”

“Oh yeah.”

I guess I’ll do that because I still have some spare time.

I went straight to the VIP seats.

“Hello.”

“See you again.”

The president of the association greeted Congressman Piolo.

The son who said he had come with me was nowhere to be seen.

“As expected, Kiara’s skills are excellent.”

“Yes. Senator.”

As long as nothing happens, Kiara will be given her main seat.

Looking at Senator Piolo’s expression, it seemed that there would never be any change.

“Now it’s my friend’s turn.”

“…”

At the end of his gaze was a woman preparing for the rehearsal stage.

Yeji rose to stardom with Royland.

After that, I thought she was buried quickly.

“I’m the leader of a rising girl group, Solar.”

“Is it.”

Seeing Senator Piolo’s sullen expression, he nodded her head.

Apparently, his heart was hardened.

He listened to the song with halfway giving up.

-Oh say, can you see. By the dawn’s early light.

Foreknowledge to start singing the US national anthem.

As soon as I heard the first verse, a noise arose.

‘Have you always been this good?’

Harmony of softly trembling vibration and half-gain.

Although I knew Royland Angela was good at singing.

‘In the meantime, my skills have improved.’

Especially, her second song 「Sun rising up」.

I don’t know who produced her requested song.

The contrast between the song and the song Kiara sang was impressive.

“It’s better than I thought. It exceeded my expectations.”

“Yes. Senator.”

He, too, was impressed by the tone of praise.

Because his heart toward art was sincere.

Is the game going back to square one?

He couldn’t predict the outcome.

After a while,

Sky Entertainment and Capital Management employees entered the VIP seats.

“Both companies did a great job today.”

“Thank you for your effort.”

A conversation ensued that the results would be announced sooner or later.

Compared to CEO Jung Soo-ho, the expression of the person on the capital side was brighter.

Until an employee brought the son of Senator Piolo.

“What, are you hurt?”

“Yeah, my sister over there put a bandage on it.”

“…”

The little boy pointed his finger at Wisdom on the stage.

“My sister pushed me next to him and I fell.”

“?”

Kiara knocked it over?

“Hmm, since I live, there are all sorts of special things.”

“…”

Senator Piolo slightly furrowed his eyebrows.

For a moment, the expression of the Capital Management employee became contemplative.

On the other hand, while looking at CEO Jeong Soo-ho, whose lips go up.

‘No way…!’

Seeing him, the head of the association gave goose bumps all over his body.

After all, did he know that he was the congressman’s son and approached him?

‘He’s a really scary person.’

A cold-blooded man who takes advantage of even the pure heart of a child.

Suho smiled and scratched the back of his head.

“I’m the CEO of Sky Enter.”

“Yes. I run a small company!”

“You are raising a warm-hearted artist.”

“That’s our company motto!”

“It’s a very good value.”

“Thank you! hahahaha.”

That, that, that fake laugh.

While I was aiming for everything.

“Sometimes, let’s have a private dinner.”

“Ah, yes! It’s an honor.”

“What is glory?”

A big-time politician.

How long has he been in America?

Soon after, the head of the association heard news about Suho from his subordinates.

It is said that he changed his schedule after the visit of Congressman Piolo was confirmed.

Jeong Su-ho postponed important schedules and visited them in person.

Raise awareness thanks to Good Busking,

Inspire patriotism with the invincible Marines,

I soothed a crying child and took a picture of my eyes.

In the meantime, Yeji perfectly proved her skills.

As expected, this world raised the hand of the prepared.

* * *

A few days later

I stared blankly at Yeji as she stood on the stage for the opening ceremony.

Yeji was featured in sports and entertainment news in both the US and Korea.

There was no way that Korean reporters would miss this kind of gukppong gamseong bursting news.

[Solar’s leader sings the American national anthem for the first time as a Korean at the opening ceremony of the American professional baseball All-Star Game today…]

While checking the news, I checked the stage once.

Seeing Yeji floating on the screen, her heart grew magnificent.

-Waaa!

Tremendous energy radiates from the audience.

Yeji smiled without hesitation.

“What is this?”

“Your brother knows best.”

“What?”

“I heard you captured the president’s heart.”

“… I?”

“Yes.”

Jiyu nodded and told me.

“Even if you pretend you don’t know, no one will believe you.”

“What?”

“Your brother always has plans.”

“That’s right.”

“Also!”

Entertainment including Brain.

It’s all about putting in a few entertainment shows that are roughly reversed.

They were already treated as a girl group on the same level as Blue Scholz.

Soaring share price of Solar.

And Sky Enter.

Finally, the host introduced Yeji, who has risen to the global sports stage.

-Now, there will be a national anthem. The stage of Ye Ji-Kim, a singer from South Korea…

Yeji starts singing along with the accompaniment.

Immediately, a tremendous chorus ensued.

‘A vocalist who couldn’t even make a high note at first…’

As soon as he changed his singing method, he went through a complete transformation.

I don’t even remember my past skills anymore.

How hard did he practice to sing such a high song with ease?

A song that is not easy even for a solo singer who competes with audibility.

Yeji sang in front of a large audience without trembling.

“I’m proud of everything.”

“I also.”

Even when I listened carefully to Yeji’s vocals, I couldn’t stand the reverse.

The ability to beat Kiara and stand on the main stage.

She was only singing as a world-class artist.

“Jiyu, what percentage of the MLB All-Star Game viewer ratings are?”

“It’s low to mid-4 percent, usually over 5 percent.”

“…”

Is that why so many viewers are watching Yeji?

“It’s all thanks to Royland.”

“And also one.”

“Oh, that’s right.”

From then on, the snowball rolled for her US activities.

It feels like I’m on the main stream at some point.

‘It’s not enough yet.’

When you decide to enter the US.

Solar’s success was not what I expected.

Equivalent to, or higher than, world-renowned K-pop artists.

“Brother, Kiara-san is also on stage.”

“…”

Kiara touches the baton with Yeji and climbs to sing a solo song.

He’s the type of person who can’t control his facial expression.

It didn’t look that good.

He himself probably didn’t know that he would be pushed by Yeji on the rehearsal stage.

“I think I’ll be satisfied with Kiara.”

“… Billboard No. 1?”

“Are you managing the American fandom well these days?”

“Then, of course not.”

Already, the composition of the fandom did not discriminate between the United States and Korea.

Active exchanges were also made through the Space app.

“Shall we hold a fan meeting in the US?”

“That’s good too.”

Billboard rankings are airplay counts, record sales, and streaming.

Growing the fandom was enough to raise the rankings.

“So that Korean fans won’t be sad, you know?”

“Then let’s catch them both.”

“Do it.”

“Okay.”

After the Eunseo fashion show, I will have to go back and forth to Korea.

The filming of “I became a devil” Is also in the final stage.

* * *

The LA branch of the global brand Geall.

Sakura watched the opening ceremony of the All-Star Game live.

Viewers will rate Yeji higher than Kiara.

Actually, the performance also felt like Yeji was ahead.

Maybe starting from today, Solar will go up one level.

‘I’m looking forward to the fashion show.’

It was Solar who never disappoints.

No matter what kind of outfit she wore, she perfectly digested it.

‘Especially, Eunseo…’

Fashion people who started paying attention not too long ago.

Even in LA, my first love was caught in some theaters.

‘Sooner or later, we’ll have a cake.’

Knock, Knock-

Then, someone knocked and entered the room.

“Chief Designer, do you have a moment?”

“Ah, Mr. Elin.”

A model who plays a key role in this fashion show.

Elin said without revealing her expression to her face.

“I heard that Eunseo will stand on the finale stage.”

“Yes. It’s because he’s a new face.”

“It’s unfair.”

“…”

Mr. Ellin, you were quiet for a while.

I’m starting to vomit again.

“Now, the finale for a rookie who is on the runway for the first time is too much.”

“Do you really think so?”

“Yeah.”

The opponent seemed unwilling to give up.

“After the fashion show, we bet which one will be sold out.”

“… A bet?”

After all, fashion shows are also part of brand promotion and corporate activities.

No matter how much you wrap it up as art, performance was important.

“From now on, I will listen to the person who won the bet ‘well’.”

“Oh, are you sure?”

“Sure.”

“… You will regret it.”

“I do not know.”

Stop the egos of top models and chief designers.

After Elin leaves, Sakura calls Suho.

Trururu—

The signal was picked up, and shouts were heard over the receiver.

-Hello? I’m a baseball player right now!!!

“CEO, I believe in my choice.”

– What?

“Because the sun goddess always wins.”

-What are you talking about!!!

“…”

Your choice was always the right answer.

“… Did you hang up?”

Meanwhile, Suho hangs up on the phone at the baseball field.

Jiyu from the side asked a question insinuatingly.

“Sakura designer?”

“Yes. You must be worried about the fashion show.”

“Eunseo unni, will you do well?”

“Maybe?”

I do not know.

Because fashion is an outsider.

I still haven’t had a poop.

“What do you expect from a new model?”

“It’s not like that.”

To be honest, I’m not going to set them up in the order of the finale.

“Ah, that’s nonsense.”

“Right.”

What is it, the back of my head is suddenly tickling.
