Chapter Index

    Seo Yu-jin has never heard anything unpleasant from anyone in her life.

    Even at home… Because no one at school dared say anything to her.

    Even the company treated her with respect and went above and beyond, so she was like a queen in her world.

    But her world was simply a wall surrounding her… .

    The shield was lifted and she faced the world’s malice…

    “Hmm… .”

    … It was so fragile.

    rattle.

    Seo Yujin picked up her smartphone again with trembling hands.

    ‘Well, you saw it wrong… .’

    It was clear that I had seen it wrong.

    Oh, pushing from the roof… , How can a person say such terrible things to another person?

    Seo Yu-jin thought she saw something wrong and checked the screen again… .

    [I just want to push Seo Yujin off the fucking roof.]

    “… … .”

    The result was the same.

    “… Why why? What did I do so wrong… ?”

    Even if a maliciously edited scene was aired on broadcast… Well, it wasn’t something worth dying for.

    Seo Yu-jin, who was soon filled with tears, wondered why the author thought this way and left a comment on the post.

    [Login is required.]

    “… Ah.”

    And only after being blocked by the login notification window did I come to my senses.

    ‘… Come to your senses, Seo Yujin.’

    She wiped away the tears that were welling up and composed herself.

    There are various people in the world. There is nothing more foolish than losing your mind over a single article written by such a bad person.

    ‘Other people’s writing… , Let’s read other people’s posts too.’

    Surely there aren’t many people who write something this mischievous. It was clear that there would probably be a message comforting her when she was hurt.

    Seo Yu-jin scrolled down to find such an article.

    and… .

    [Seo Yu-jin’s birthday]

    [Oh fuck, I’m watching the broadcast and I really want to kill myself]

    [Isn’t that just a psychopath?]

    [Seo Yu-jin, you motherfucker, don’t bother Seol.]

    [Who are you to call a black swan? What are you doing, you idiot?]

    [Look at his personality, damn it, I can’t believe he’s a human being like us.]

    All she found were posts criticizing her.

    “Ugh… , ugh… .”

    I tried to hold back, but… As she read the article, tears poured out of Seo Yu-jin’s eyes as if she had turned on a faucet.

    She wasn’t originally good at using social media.

    And then sometimes, if I post a post on Inbyeol… .

    -What, where was the photo taken? It’s pretty

    -Eujin, let’s come with us next time.

    -You’re so pretty. Are you an idol trainee by any chance?

    -Wow, it’s so pretty. I’ll follow you!

    Compliments poured in from friends and strangers… .

    [ah;; He really doesn’t know moderation.]

    [I just want it to turn off. No, I just want it to die.]

    [Everyone, this is SAV. If you do something wrong, you will be sued.]

    [Will SAV really sue for a trainee who hasn’t even debuted?]

    [Yes~ It’s already abysmal. It’s clear that SAV will abandon him as well]

    Now, wherever I look, there are only posts criticizing her.

    Even among them… .

    [I was in the same middle school as Seo Yu-jin, and from then on, I was famous as a twin girl. It’s probably a truck the size of a kid who was hit or bullied by him?]

    [It was a year that was going to go to hell due to school violence anyway. I just wish I could go to hell quickly haha]

    “No… ! I have never been abused… ! I have never hit or harassed anyone… !”

    It was also full of malicious false facts about her.

    But no matter how angry and mortified she was, there was nothing she could do.

    Even though I know that reading the malicious comments towards her right now is a foolish thing to do to my own heart… , I couldn’t stop my fingers from scrolling.

    “Hmm… , right… .”

    So, Seo Yu-jin read the uploaded posts until her pajamas were soaked with tears.

    “… Eugene, are you sleeping? … Eugene?!”

    “Mom… , mom… Wow… .”

    “Eujin-!”

    That is, until Seo Yu-jin’s mother opens the door to check if she is sleeping.

    “Mom… , people are looking at me… .”

    “Give that to me right away… !”

    Seo Yu-jin’s mother took her phone away without looking any further.

    Meanwhile, Seo Yu-jin slipped into her mother’s arms.

    “Mom… , people tell me to just jump off the roof… .”

    “Eujin… .”

    “Sigh… , hmm… , Was I so wrong… ? But I feel unfair… , It’s so unfair… . Ugh… .”

    Seo Yu-jin’s parents, who worked hard to become a self-made woman when they were young, did not want their precious daughter, whom they acquired late in life, to know the bitter taste of society.

    But was it a curse?

    Seo Yu-jin received back the bitterness of a society she had never known before, all at once with interest.

    “I really didn’t say that… . really… .”

    “I know… , Eugene. Mom knows everything… .”

    “Hwaaa… ! Hmm… !”

    That night was a truly harsh night for 17-year-old Seo Yu-jin.

    but… , the pain of that day did not end there.

    It was only the beginning.

    **

    After that, Seo Yu-jin’s acting continued to be similar to before.

    [Seo Yu-jin (SAV): Me! I also want to be a center!]

    [Trainee Seo Yu-jin raises her hand to be selected for center rank even though she is already a leader!]

    [Cold atmosphere]

    [Q: Isn’t it burdensome to be the leader and center at the same time?]

    [Seo Yu-jin (SAV): It’s not burdensome at all. Because I am SAV!]

    Seo Yu-jin was always proud of her affiliation, so she often revealed that she was SAV.

    Until now, it only felt like a symbol of her confidence, but with the editing done like that, Seo Yu-jin looked truly arrogant.

    [Seo Yu-jin (SAV): Haha… , don’t you understand this? this?]

    [Seo Yu-jin (SAV): (Sighing) It’s really frustrating.]

    It was a bonus that it was edited to highlight the fact that he was angry at his teammates who couldn’t keep up with practice and showed bad behavior.

    And the part that really hit the nail on the head… .

    [Yoo Seol (JJ): I’m sorry… , Guys. Because I’m not feeling well… .]

    [Seo Yu-jin (SAV): (opening eyes sharply) Is this really bad? Are you so sick that you can’t come to practice?]

    “Ah… .”

    … It was as if they were persecuting and doubting the rumor that they were sick.

    The production crew said that in the latter part where Seo Yu-jin doubts Yu Seol’s physical condition… .

    [Yoo Seol (JJ): Cough, Clock.]

    [Producer: My forehead is so hot… .]

    [Producer: First, go to the hospital… .]

    [Yoo Seol (JJ): (Laughing weakly) No… , we can’t cause more trouble to the team.]

    [But trainee Yoo Seol’s condition is getting worse… !]

    [In the end, the production crew takes her to the hospital… .]

    [Doctor: I have severe body aches. You shouldn’t overdo it.]

    A scene showing Yu Seol being in pain and going to the hospital to be diagnosed by a doctor was included.

    Thanks to this, Seo Yu-jin was given the position of a villainess reminiscent of the stepmother in Cinderella.

    And the production team probably thought this Cinderella structure looked good, so they continued to include images of Yu Seol being persecuted and Seo Yu Jin being mistreated… , This continued until the end of the second team’s stage.

    In addition, ‘that’ scene was broadcast as the final climax.

    [Seo Yu-jin (SAV): … Honestly, it was a very disappointing performance for me personally.]

    [Seo Yu-jin (SAV): And I think that responsibility lies with Seol!]

    [Seo Yu-jin (SAV): Being able to do this so well… , Seol did not participate in practice with the excuse of being sick… ! It’s clear that he did it on purpose to stand out in the competition!]

    This was no different from driving a stake into Seo Yu-jin’s already shattered image.

    Seo Yu-jin’s part ended with this creating a harsh atmosphere until the end.

    “… … .”

    I watched the rest of the broadcast with blank eyes.

    Is it because Seo Yu-jin’s scenes attract too much attention? , I couldn’t see the size of anyone else, including me.

    And so Episode 5 of Naaah ends… .

    “Phew… .”

    Lee Ji-woo looked at me and sighed and said.

    “Wow, the production crew is great too. You make someone outright a bitch… , This is like throwing food at people to go on a witch hunt… .”

    “… … Shall we take a look at the viewers’ reactions?”

    Originally, it was a routine to watch Naaah and see the reactions of viewers through the community or streaming comment section.

    But this time, I couldn’t do it because I was preoccupied with Seo Yu-jin.

    Even though it was late, I turned on my laptop to see people’s reactions, and Ji-Woo Lee blocked my hand.

    “Yerin, wait.”

    “… … yes? why… ?”

    “… That kid is your younger brother. I feel hurt reading the comments for no reason… , the teacher will look at it for you.”

    “Ah… .”

    I smiled weakly and nodded at Lee Ji-woo’s consideration.

    “Yes, then I would like to ask you a favor.”

    “Okay, just wait a moment.”

    Sigh-.

    Lee Ji-woo took the laptop with him and began searching the Internet at high speed.

    And then her expression… .

    “… … .”

    … It started to harden significantly.

    “… First of all, Yerin’s reaction to you is good. It’s the same as before. and… , speculation… . Public opinion about this kid is literally explosive… .”

    In this episode 5 of Naaah, it was Yoo Seol who received the most special treatment.

    Even in the midst of all kinds of oppression and persecution, he showed a legendary performance on the final stage, so all is said and done.

    Her Cinderella narrative must have touched the hearts of many people.

    “And this girl, Seo Yujin… .”

    “… … .”

    “… Phew, it must be difficult.”

    I nodded at the expected result.

    It was strange that the broadcast went on like that and the response was good.

    ‘Eujin… I wonder if you’ll be okay… .’

    Surely you didn’t bother to look for people’s reactions?

    I sighed out of worry for her.

    It was then.

    “… Ugh.”

    “… why? What’s going on?”

    Ji-Woo Lee was surprised to see something, so I turned my head and as soon as she saw the laptop screen.

    Sigh-.

    On the screen she showed me, there was an Internet article, and I looked at what it was about and then… .

    “… ha ha ha… , It’s really absurd.”

    I just ended up laughing.

    [Nnet worked! Average viewer rating 7.7%, instantaneous viewer rating 11.2%. The best idol contest program of all time! 3rd place among all Korean audition programs!!]

    In the meantime, Naaah’s viewership ratings hit ridiculous numbers.

    It was clear that word of mouth had spread and people flocked to throw stones at Seo Yu-jin.

    This is probably what the production team wanted through episode 5 of Naaah.

    “Really… , the production crew… .”

    They were such bastards.

    … These bastards are so damn good at picking viewership ratings.

    … For the sake of viewership ratings, these bastards don’t hesitate to throw even 17-year-old girls as food for the public.

    ‘tomorrow… , I wonder if Eugene will be okay… .’

    no… , will they even come in the first place?

    One thing is certain… , if Naaah episode 6 started filming like this, the production crew would not leave her alone.

    Because the production team probably thinks they haven’t sucked all of Seo Yu-jin’s juices out yet.

    “Ha… .”

    … Why are there so many shitty adults around me?

    Thanks to this, my already complicated head hurt even more… With this still unresolved, the morning of the 4th week, that is, the start of the 3rd team competition, arrived.
