[50] Preparation (2)

After the sweet Chuseok holiday.

I was in serious trouble while staring blankly at the ceiling at work.

“Brother, I brought the sisters from the dorm well.”

“Uh. Yes.”

“Eunseo-unnie’s last shooting schedule came out. A week later…”

“Good.”

I can’t digest jajangmyeon, and I ate naengmyeon the day before yesterday.

“What are you worrying about?”

“Huh? Ah.”

I listened to JiU’s question and answered honestly.

“What about lunch?”

“Ah, TVM meeting at lunch?”

No, the lunch menu.

“Oppa, it’s just a trip, but once we’ve confirmed it, the producer will take care of it.”

“That’s not the point.”

“That’s right?”

The pork belly is too heavy, and the sandwiches are too light.

“Haa… I’m worried.”

The position of the team leader where all team members can see it.

I used to have worries that I didn’t have just sitting here.

‘… Really something to eat for lunch.’

Jiyu glanced at her and opened her mouth again.

“Oppa, do you have a lot of worries ahead of your comeback?”

“It’s not a big concern.”

“I’ll work harder!”

“… Yes.”

Soon after, a nunsae junior approached and quietly talked to him.

“Chief, please pay here.”

“Ah, Luna’s schedule.”

“Yes! There is also public TV entertainment!”

“Good. Good job.”

Sangmo smiled and opened his mouth.

“Chief, you’re planning a reality show right now in your head, right?”

“It’s not.”

I’m thinking about what to eat for lunch.

“You have a meeting at lunchtime.”

“Yeah. I’m really worried about lunch.”

“Keuuu, of course! I think the team leader only analyzed the market throughout Chuseok!”

“I?”

“Yes. Solar and Luna’s plans for activities and sound sources…”

“Hmm.”

Not at all. I had a good rest.

I want to take another week off.

I just want to do nothing and earn a lot of money.

Why does my sense only work in the entertainment industry?

‘Reality entertainment…’

Tvm Entertainment Director, whom I will meet at lunchtime today.

I’ve been thinking about travel destinations to some extent.

“Suho.”

At that time, I heard Director Park’s voice from the back of the office.

Soon he tapped him on the shoulder with one hand the size of a pot lid and said,

“Did you see the ratings for Najaktel last night? It was crazy.”

“Oh, yes. I saw it too.”

“My little TV”

Season 3 was a jackpot from the first broadcast.

It must be difficult to raise viewership ratings these days because of You Tube or OTT.

“How did the 8% come out late at night?”

“Maybe it was Chuseok until yesterday…”

“It doesn’t matter. Today is a working day.”

“It is.”

As expected, there was a high probability that the influence of ISAC was great.

Because I only saw Joo-hee among the girl group members.

“I got a call from producer Ham. Thank you.”

Now, for a while, I have to focus on group activities rather than variety shows.

“Ah, but Somi’s variety show is over.”

“Yes?”

Now Tvm ＜Escape Room Maze＞

It was also the final stage.

“Winning will be difficult.”

“…Because of zombies?”

“Yeah.”

The next shoot was supposed to be the last.

A friend who gets scared just by looking at zombie makeup.

“Now that we’re in the top 3, we’re eliminated without a deathmatch.”

“Yes. Pushing too hard is child abuse.”

“I can’t help it. I’m too scared.”

“Hmm.”

The important thing right now is Solar’s comeback stage.

After all, the purpose of reality entertainment is publicity.

“I heard there’s a meeting at Tvm today.”

“Yes. Chief.”

“Goodbye.”

Tiri-Ri-Ring-

Suddenly, an international call came in.

Should I get this or not?

“Hello. Jeongsoo…”

-Hello.

“Yes?”

Why does Japanese come out all of a sudden?

-Hangoku said, a little bit.

“Yes. Who are you?”

It’s because it’s a public number in most broadcasting houses.

There was nothing strange about this phone call.

-Fuji TV Shimaken Producer.

“…”

He has the same name as a brother I know.

* * *

Q&G label practice room.

The members spurred on the practice of the new song 「Sunrise And Sunset」.

hahahaha, shall we take a break?”

“Okay. Let’s rest for 5 minutes.”

Yeji looked at Eunseo and made a sad expression.

‘You look so tired.’

She suffers from her all-night practice because of her drama schedule.

Eunseo had a bad temper since her trainee days.

Even if she has a part-time job, she has to buy what she wants, so her intuition is solved.

“Let’s take a break for just 5 minutes and do it again!”

“Yes!”

Soon after, Yeji checked someone’s talk on her smartphone.

She’d seen it dozens of times already, but wanted to double check.

[I will never give up on you. Do not worry about it]

Her manager’s brief reply to a letter she wrote herself.

While she was blunt, her thoughtful nature was revealed in her personality.

How much did you worry about sending a message like this?

“Yeji unnie, Friends Enter…”

“They say you’re never going!”

“What? What do you mean. Friends Enter Choo Mi-ryeong composer.”

“Ah.”

Eunseo continued to speak.

“I think our songs are really good.”

“Right. This is enough…”

Maybe, for the first time, you will be nominated for first place on a music show.

Taking over the baton of the music market, where the queen is currently leading solo.

“The manager gave the final confirmation. Of course it’s good.”

“… The song was written by Diana and Chu composers.”

“You know that too.”

“…”

Composer Choo Mi-ryeong, one of the top producers in Korea.

Since when have you worked with a top-notch songwriter in the industry?

‘Thanks to Manager Jeong Soo-ho…’

A scout offer from Friends Entertainment.

If he hadn’t written the letter before Chuseok, he would have left.

Isn’t it a company that has been growing at a tremendous pace lately?

Boy group ‘High End’ is a star among stars.

As a team leader-level manager, I must have been greedy.

“Sister.”

Yeji broke her thoughts at Eunseo’s call.

“Did you use the Najaktel wish ticket the other day?”

“Why?”

“Just curious.”

“Of course I did.”

“Huh? What did you write it for?”

“I invested in Solar’s future.”

“What…?”

Just like the ‘high end’ that made Friends Entertainment today.

It might be possible if he stays by his side.

“We should go to America someday!”

“?”

Anyway, I felt proud inside because I seemed to have changed my manager’s mind through the letter.

Drooling-

Just then, the door to the practice room opened and Yang Joo-hee entered.

He was carrying an enormous amount of delivery boxes in his two hands.

“What, didn’t you go to the gym?”

“That’s right.”

“What did you buy so many?”

“Oh, this is all from the market. Except for one protein.”

Yang Joo-hee puts down the box while grumbling at Eun-seo.

“Ah Jang-eun-seo, I’m your maid, what is it?”

“… I also bought a luxury bag.”

Yeji looked at the package and raised her eyes.

“He’s always spending a lot of money.”

“It’s just moderate.”

Eunseo opened the package while humming his song.

“Thank you!”

At this rate, he would have spent almost all of the settlement amount.

Even though Solar is doing well these days.

It’s not sponsored, if you just spend money like this.

“Eunseo, it’s a celebrity season. You should save money and buy a house.”

“It’s okay, you can make money again.”

“…”

Where did Eunseo, who worked hard until last year as a part-timer, go?

In fact, even then he was bitter when he came in as part-timer.

‘No, but…’

The income then and now must have been different.

“Sister, I bought a present for my grandmother here.”

“Oh, then that luxury bag…”

“No, not luxury goods.”

“?”

A pair of pure white ramie clothes that stand out.

It was compared to the Erbitu bag next to it.

“Aren’t the clothes pretty? My grandmother’s best pick!”

“… This is a bit.”

* * *

A Japanese schedule that was caught out of the blue.

Of course, it hasn’t been confirmed yet.

“Brother, so what will Japan do?”

“Well.”

No signal came from the back of the head yet.

“Are you worried?”

“Well, that’s right.”

To be honest, I wanted to postpone my overseas schedule until later.

Is there one or two cases where the tower you built up so far collapsed due to overseas activities?

Although it often became a hit abroad and rather improved the position in Korea.

‘Solar is not a team with nothing to lose.’

If I managed to get past Isolation and go to Japan and fail.

Besides, a large rookie from Friends Entertainment is also scheduled to debut.

With my daughter, with my daughter-

Sushi restaurant in front of TVM broadcasting station

The meeting place with the director of entertainment.

I arrived at the meeting place and looked around.

“Seniors!”

At that time, a man raised his hand and greeted me.

The director of entertainment was not there, only a familiar face.

“… Kim Ji-hoon.”

＜Room Escape Maze＞

Thanks to you, my junior friend.

A familiar man greeted me with a grin.

“I am Kim Ji-hoon, producer of Reality Solarbeam!”

“… The director?”

“You’re a little late.”

Yes. I get it.

“Are you the only producer at the TVM station?”

“hahahaha. The ransom has jumped 10 million times with this broadcast.”

“Because it’s a debut work. There must have been no ransom before.”

“That’s it.”

Still, it was clear that producer Kim Ji-hoon’s skills were good.

As soon as he debuted, he caught the viewer ratings and quality of the work.

“Aren’t you busy?”

“Of course. Escape from the room is over in 15 days.”

“Hmm.”

I wonder if it will be okay without a blank prayer.

“Let’s go on a trip in 15 days. I’m ready.”

“… Are you going without preparation?”

“Ehehehe, the format of what to do when we go is already planned.”

“Where is your travel destination?”

“That has to be decided now.”

He said that he planned all the escape room games himself.

Certainly, our university juniors have many smart friends.

‘… Except for me.’

Studying and working are two different things.

“Where were you thinking, senior?”

“Well. Jeju…”

For a moment, I closed my eyes at the sensation of the back of my head gently tickling.

“Oh, I like Jeju Island too! Stones! Wind! Haenyeo! Seafood! Come alone? I’m going to Jeju Island full course…”

“Or, Eve…”

It’s not even Hawaii.

I see there is an answer.

“Okay! Hawaii! I’m clear on that floor. I’ve been on a trip.”

“Be quiet.”

“Yep.”

Suddenly, I remembered the schedule in Japan that I received a phone call from today.

‘Overseas schedule…’

I still thought it was premature.

That too was just my incompetent judgment.

“… How about Japan?”

“Ah, Japan is awesome! Konnichi, Watashi, and Jihoon Death.”

“Head hurts.”

“Eeh eh eh!? Senpai or later?”

“What is tension?”

Really stupid judgement.

If the back of my head wasn’t tickling right now.

I wouldn’t have risked going to Japan.

‘A great opportunity may have been missed…’

Of course I knew.

“…The worst.”

“Me, me?”

Not you but me

* * *

a few days later

I gathered the members and shared the schedule.

Perhaps the most important schedule among album activities is promotion.

Apart from popularity, it is meaningful to announce the release of an album.

“Wow, Japanese schedule?”

“I’m going to travel and film variety shows.”

“There’s not even a fortnight left.”

“Yes. Study Japanese.”

“Hmm.”

I turned my attention to Somi, who was eliminated from the zombie game yesterday.

“Somi, why are you so depressed?”

“I lost to Lupin oppa yesterday.”

“It’s okay. I can’t help it…”

“I really could have won.”

What, the two of them were on the same side.

Hwang In-woo and Ruifeng went to the finals.

“I lost even though Louispin used only one hand.”

“… You’re talking about the escape room maze, right?”

“No. A league game.”

“Ah.”

You didn’t have the heart to win the zombie game anyway.

Somehow, they gave up as soon as they started.

“Anyway.”

Honestly, no one expected it, but it’s great to have it in the top 3.

“My Somi, you did really well!”

“You worked hard. Our youngest.”

Shin So-mi sticks out her tongue in a cute way after hearing the compliments from her older sisters.

Forget what has already passed and think only about the future schedule.

“Among the members, does anyone speak Japanese?”

“… That little bit.”

Soon after, Eunseo raised her hand.

“Oh, how much?”

“Just the basics?”

“…Then the rest.”

Somi pondered, then she slowly opened her mouth.

“There’s still about 15 days left, right?”

“Uh. That much.”

“Shouldn’t we just study until then?”

“…”

I just got a little bit unlucky.

No matter how smart you are

“Mastering Japanese in 15 days?”

.

.

.

.

.

Fortnight later.

I enjoyed Somi’s fluent Japanese conversation with her members.

“Taksini deer Basho and Dokodesuka?”

I saw people in Japan asking where to get a taxi.

I think you can just send back the interpreter you brought without knowing it.

“I’m going over there to catch a taxi.”

“Oh, uh. Yes.”

You really mastered this.

“Oh come quickly!”

“I’m going.”

Somi, you look like a local here.
