“… … .”

Never before has PD Shin suddenly asked me to be alone like this.

Moreover, if you have to go to a dark place where there are no people to tell the story… .

‘… ‘I don’t think it’ll be a good story.’

I asked in a hesitant voice, showing that I was reluctant to talk.

“I wonder what’s going on… ? Could you please tell me here?”

“… … .”

When I spoke with an almost refusal tone, I saw Producer Shin’s face harden for a moment.

I guess he never expected that I, a mere participant, would dare reject his words.

Still, he quickly put on a friendly smile again and spoke.

“Haha! I’m sorry, Miss Yerin! You must be tired, but I was rude to you for no reason! But how could you please spare a moment? It’s a really important story.”

“Then just tell me what the topic is.”

“… Haha.”

When I hit the iron wall for the second time, PD Shin finally couldn’t hold back and sighed.

Then he came closer to me and whispered in a voice that no one else could hear.

“… … This is a story related to Yerin’s company.”

“… … !”

When the story of the company came up, I couldn’t help but flinch.

‘My company… ? Why is Brother Planning… ?’

Is there something wrong with Brother Planning?

Sigh-.

I immediately checked my phone, but there was no contact from Kang Hyeong-man.

If something had happened, you would have contacted me first… ?

I had doubts, so I asked PD Shin.

“At my company… , What’s the problem?”

“… I’ll tell you that if you follow me.”

“… … .”

… I can’t help it.

Although PD Shin was a vicious person, he was not a person without common sense.

Above all, my company. The moment Brother Planning came out of his mouth, I couldn’t help but talk to him.

“… Then let’s go.”

I nodded and followed him.

**

Jerk.

As soon as I arrived at the back of the set where there was no one around, I asked PD Shin.

“Now tell me. What do you have to say about my company? Is there any problem with Brother Planning?”

“Haha, are there a lot of problems with Brother Planning? , of course, not just one or two.”

“… Yes?”

What is that… .

When I tilted my head, PD Shin answered without hiding his sneer.

“Ahaha! When I looked into it, I found out that Brother Planning had no proper team, no trainers, and the only trainee was Yerin.”

“… … .”

“What is that… , it’s ridiculous to even call it a small business, and at first I almost thought it was a paper company. Besides, the boss there… , you’re a gangster, right?”

As PD Shin said that, the corners of his mouth were still turned up in a sneer, but his eyes were increasingly filled with disgust.

“Ugh… , In what era do gangsters enter this industry these days? As people in the entertainment industry, we need to stop the influx of people who do such dirty work.”

“… So why are you saying that to me?”

PD Shin said to me with his eyes shining, as if he hadn’t noticed that my voice was cold.

“Miss Yerin… . No matter how talented Yerin is, she will not be able to flourish if she belongs to such a trash company. Yerin, you probably know this, right?”

“… … .”

“But fortunately, a rope came down to Yerin. The CEO of MS Planning is interested in Yerin!”

“Producer Shin.”

“Yes, Miss Yerin. That’s right, MS Planning! Although it’s not the third generation, it’s a huge place that can’t be compared to Yerin’s current company. I will soon connect you with the boss and Ms. Yerin… .”

“Don’t say things that don’t work.”

“… … Yes?”

“Don’t say things that don’t make sense.”

“… … .”

For a moment, PD Shin’s face went blank.

As if he never expected to hear these words from me.

And soon… .

“Yes, Miss Yerin… ! What is that… !!”

His face began to fill with confusion and anger.

“I am the main PD of ‘My Idol Academia’ starring Yerin! How dare a performer rebel against the PD like this… , Aren’t you afraid of the aftereffects?!”

PD Shin looked down at me and spoke in a threatening tone, as if trying to remind me of the relationship between superiors and superiors.

but… .

“What can PD do?”

“… What?”

“What can the PD do for me, who is overwhelmingly ranked first in Naaa?”

“… … .”

Naaah has already entered the second half of the program and is nearing the end of the program.

that… , which means that the power of the main PD is now at an end.

Compared to the first half of the program, now in the second half of the program, the areas that the PD can influence have decreased significantly.

Moreover, at the last ranking announcement ceremony, I had an overwhelming difference of 260,000 votes from Yoo Seol.

The PD’s power weakened and my position increased.

I no longer had to pay much attention to what PD Shin thought.

‘The debut is already confirmed… , Championship? ‘You don’t have to do anything to win.’

Of course, there was still the important issue of winning, but I didn’t want to win even by sacrificing my soul to the PD.

Shin PD must have realized that he couldn’t touch me easily, so he immediately glared at me with an expression full of frustration.

“… , Have you ever seen such ingratitude?”

They also spoke informally, probably because they thought there were no cameras or CCTV and no need to wear masks anymore.

“How much I raised you on the air… , How dare you talk to me like that?”

“… … .”

“You are such a ungrateful piece of trash… !”

“The trash is you.”

“… … !”

PD Shin’s eyes grew incomparably bigger than before, as if he had never expected that I would even use informal language.

‘… Actually, I didn’t even intend to go this far.’

I was planning to just ignore whatever nonsense PD Shin said, but my mouth moved first.

But that’s also true… .

‘How dare you destroy our company…? .’

I know that it is difficult for Brothers Planning people to openly reveal to others what they originally did.

Still, the people at Brother Planning were my savior and family.

If it weren’t for Kang Hyung, I would still be working part-time jobs and washing dishes at a restaurant.

On the other hand, Shin PD… ?

According to his own tastes, he forcibly demoted Lee Hye-jeong to B and witch-hunted Seo Yu-jin, who had now entered high school.

In addition to these two, he also consumed and sacrificed numerous performers as material for viewership ratings.

I couldn’t stand such a Shin PD daring to criticize Brother Planning as trash.

“Think about what you’ve done so far. How dare you curse at the people at our company.”

“You… , you… !”

“I’ll leave when I’m done talking.”

Swish.

I looked at Producer Shin’s face, which was tinged with embarrassment, and I was disgusted by that sight, so I just turned away.

I followed him to see if something had happened to Brothers Planning, but PD Shin only spewed out some very trashy words.

Staying here until now was a waste of time.

I was planning to go back quickly.

But I think I was the only one who wanted to get out of this situation.

“Where are you going! I’m not finished talking yet!”

As I turned, I felt PD Shin shout in an angry voice and reach out for me.

I think he tried to grab my hand again.

I felt fed up with this and muttered in a cold voice before reaching for his hand.

“If you touch my body one more time, I will report you to the police for sexual harassment.”

“… what? What is that… !”

This time, Producer Shin shouted irritably, as if he was truly aggrieved.

“My, when did I sexually harass you? ! You’re making a false accusation, you’re making a false accusation! … And here, without any cameras, CCTV, or evidence, how dare you… !”

“Even if there are no cameras here, the fact that PD Shin brought me here must have been caught on camera, right?”

“… … !”

“If I have to, I’ll hold a press conference and cry, okay? I think the fans will trust me.”

“… … .”

After hearing what I said, Producer Shin became completely mute and his face turned red.

I clicked my tongue while looking at his pitiful appearance.

‘Because of this pathetic bastard… .’

Could it be that so many people have been harmed by one person who is so easy to deal with?

… I was annoyed.

“Is that the end of what I wanted to say now?”

“Well, wait a minute… !”

“… ?”

“Well, MS Planning is a really good company… ! The representative there also really likes you. So, let’s talk… .”

… It was strange.

Even when the situation has come to this point, you are giving orders to MS Planning.

‘Did you receive money from MS Planning to connect me?’

Whatever it was, it was none of my business.

I turned around coldly again.

“Not interested. I’ll go.”

“Now, wait a minute… !”

Even though I mentioned sexual harassment, PD Shin reached out to me again, perhaps because he was really in a hurry.

‘dare.’

Sreuk.

PD Shin’s hands were so slow that I could follow them with my eyes.

That was when I raised my palm to strike it away.

“Stop.”

“… … !”

Before Shin PD and I could touch hands, a third party’s voice intervened.

He suddenly intervened and slowly appeared next to the corner, which was a blind spot, as if he had been listening to everything.

When I saw his face, I couldn’t help but be taken aback for a moment.

“… Producer Han Si-woo.”

“Yes, Miss Yerin.”

He looked at me with a small smile as if to reassure me.

And then… .

“Si, Mr. Siwoo? How long have you been there? Have you ever heard where and how far our conversation began? .”

“From the beginning.”

“… … .”

“I listened to everything from beginning to end.”

He gave a cold expression towards PD Shin.

While Producer Shin flinched at the sight, Han Si-woo quietly whispered in a low voice.

“Producer Shin.”

“… … .”

“What PD Shin is doing now is clearly intercepting trainees. Isn’t it?”

“It’s not about interception, it’s about a trainee with excellent skills being spoiled by a bad company, so it’s a double-take… .”

“You actually expressed your refusal, but you coerced and even threatened me.”

“No… , What kind of coercive threat am I making? !”

“If you don’t step down right now, I will make this matter public.”

“… … !”

PD Shin’s face became even more distorted when he heard the words “public opinion” than when he heard the story of sexual harassment from me.

Unlike me, Han Si-woo is a powerful person in the entertainment industry.

I think what he said had a different weight compared to what I said.

“… Mr. Siwoo, you might get angry with me about this. Would you mind?”

“If I said something normal but got upset, did I do something wrong?”

“… … Haha.”

Soon PD Shin looked at Han Si-woo’s determined eyes and sighed… .

“Two people… … , let’s see.”

After speaking like a third-rate villain, he turned around.

Crackling.

How much anger can be felt from him… Even though I turned around, I could hear him gritting his teeth.
