There are days like that.

Strangely, it’s a day when I feel refreshed from the moment I open my eyes in the morning.

A day when, as soon as you wake up, you have a feeling that the day will be very fruitful and happy.

That was today.

Flashing.

“… … I slept well.”

As soon as I opened my eyes in the morning, I woke up feeling refreshed and refreshed throughout my body.

Fatigue disappears from my entire body and my head becomes clear… , I felt like I slept really well for the first time in a long time.

So, I immediately got up, folded the blanket, went into the bathroom, and washed my face.

Me in the mirror… , was laughing loudly.

Since Naaah ended, the laughter has increased significantly.

As soon as I woke up refreshed, I folded the blanket, washed my face, and looked at my smiling face in the mirror… , I felt strangely good.

I had a feeling that today would somehow go well.

“Hmph.”

I hummed and came out to the living room.

My father and mother had already gone to work, so I was the only one at home.

Since we were meeting at Rookies’ new Sokso in two hours, I hurriedly prepared breakfast.

Today’s morning is Noogul Ramen.

It was clear that I wouldn’t be able to eat ramen or anything like that once I started working at the dorm, so I planned to eat a lot before then.

I smiled at the thought of eating ramen like that and opened the wrapper… .

“Oh, awesome.”

I was impressed to see that there were two kelp inside.

‘This is my first time like this… ?’

From the moment I woke up in the morning, my whole body felt strangely refreshed, and I even had Noogul ramen and two kelp… .

It was truly a lucky day.

I finished eating and getting ready to go out in a good mood and went out on time.

Instead of Kang Hyung-man, who couldn’t come because he was busy with work, Sang-gu took me to Rookies’ dormitory in Gangnam.

“Sister!”

“Eujin!”

“Is Yerin here?”

“Hyejeong unnie!”

“Seol, Yujeong, and Hanna are all here. Let’s go in quickly.”

I went into our Rookies’ dormitory with the Rookies members who had arrived in advance and the NAS Entertainment staff who had been dispatched to guide us.

And our Rookies’ new accommodation is… .

“Wow… .”

“Awesome… .”

It was so good that my mouth dropped right from the front door.

“I… , It’s my first time seeing such a nice apartment… .”

As Park Yoo-jung mumbled with blank eyes, the staff member who came out began explaining with a happy smile.

“The advantage of this place is its thorough security. There are double and triple locks from the front door to the entrance, and there are security staff everywhere, so unauthorized outsiders are absolutely prohibited from entering.”

As expected, because it was a female idol, I felt that the company paid a lot of attention to security.

Of course, this didn’t mean that the security was all good here.

An iron front door reminiscent of a wealthy home, friendly security staff, a well-maintained public garden, and a sophisticated lobby that is comparable to that of a hotel.

Admiring this, I took the luxurious elevator and got off on the 28th floor, and found our Rookies’ dormitory.

Tiriring.

“Okay, we have a lot of time, so please take your time and look around.”

“Waaa-!”

“Follow me~”

When the staff opened the door, we went inside like fish in water.

The outside of the apartment was good so far, but the inside was even better.

A spacious space containing 3 large rooms, 2 small rooms, and 2 bathrooms.

A large living room and a fantastic view from the window.

Even the various furniture that already fills the accommodation.

“Most of the furniture has already been moved in, but if you need anything else, please let us know before you start living at the accommodation next week.”

While listening to the staff, we each split up and had fun looking around the accommodation… .

“Let’s choose a room, a room!”

“… … !”

At one word from Park Yoo-jung, we gathered in the living room.

“There are three large rooms, so it would be perfect to split them into two, two, two! We use the remaining two small rooms as our personal closets!”

“Yes, that will work.”

“Then how do we divide people?”

“… … .”

When asked how to divide the room, the members began to look at each other.

Park Yoo-jung, who was good at taking initiative in Naaah, also came forward and presented her opinion this time.

“Then, how about pointing out with your fingers the person you want to room with?”

“… I think it would be redundant then.”

“Still, I wonder who everyone wants to share a room with! Give it a try just for fun!”

At Park Yoo-jung’s words, we thought for a moment about who we would like to share a room with… .

“One, two, three! Please choose!”

Faaat.

I stretched out my fingers in response to her chant.

and… .

“Wow… .”

Seo Yu-jin, Park Yu-jeong, Lee Hye-jeong, and Yoo Seol nominated me.

Sigh.

Na Hanna watched for a moment and then pointed at herself… .

“… … .”

I couldn’t take a picture of anyone because I felt burdened by the gazes of four people looking at me.

As a result, tension arose among the four people who took pictures of me, and Park Yoo-jung smiled and said, as if she was embarrassed.

“… There are so many people who want to share a room with Yerin. Is there anyone who would like to make a concession?”

“… … .”

“… Looks like it doesn’t exist. Then let’s play the game fairly.”

“Game? What game?”

“How about a simple drawing?”

In response to Yoo Seol’s question, Park Yoo-jung took out her phone and turned on the lottery game.

When Park Yoo-jung shook her phone as if asking for consent, everyone nodded with a nervous expression.

“Okay then, shall we choose a room? Are the people whose names are written next to each other in the same room? then… , here we go!”

So Park Yoo-jung starts drawing lots with a solemn look on her face… .

Faaah!

[Ha Ye-rin ♡ Seo Yu-jin]

[Park Yoo-jung ♡ Na Hanna]

[Lee Hye-jeong ♡ Yoo Seol]

“Kyaaa-!!”

As soon as the results came out, Seo Yu-jin cheered and hugged me.

“Sister, it’s the same room as me!”

“Ugh, that’s right.”

“How can it be so perfect? It was neatly divided into a couple’s room, a room for the same age group, and a room for the elderly!”

“… … .”

These days, Seo Yu-jin felt like she was back to being An Ha-mu-in again.

Yoo Seol and Lee Hye-jeong looked at Seo Yu-jin with uncomfortable eyes when they heard that it was a senior citizen’s room, but Seo Yu-jin hugged me… .

“Heung.”

He just smiled like a winner.

“… Hehehe.”

When Yoo Seol grumbled and raised his eyebrows, I, caught between the two, urgently made a suggestion to the members.

“Okay, instead of doing this, should we each go into our own rooms? Between roommates?”

“Good!”

“Wow-!”

At my words, each couple got excited and went into their rooms. Thanks to this, the atmosphere did not become cold.

I dragged Seo Yu-jin, who was clinging to my body, to the room and whispered in her ear.

“Eujin… . Why do you keep criticizing Seol unnie?”

Seo Yu-jin responded by crumpling her face as if she was dissatisfied.

“Seol keeps trying to come between me and you! I’m the closest person to you!”

“… … .”

When I paused for a moment at those words, Seo Yu-jin whined and asked.

“… … no? Sister, do you not want to share a room with me?”

“No, it’s not like that!”

I responded by stroking her head.

“I actually wanted to share a room with Eugene.”

“… Really?”

“Then.”

I wasn’t lying when I said I wanted to share a room with Seo Yu-jin.

Because Seo Yujin is a bit clumsy and tends to follow me a lot.

I planned to share a room with Seo Yu-jin and take care of her if possible.

Even when I was Naaa, I often slept in the same room as Seo Yu-jin, so it wasn’t inconvenient to share a room.

‘When I think about it that way, the members of the room are much better organized than I thought.’

First, the room of the same age.

Even though Park Yoo-jung and Na Hanna were the same age, they didn’t feel like they were very close to each other.

So, we will just have to become closer as roommates this time.

And a senior’s room.

It could be expected that Lee Hye-jung, who has a deep understanding, and Yoo Seol, who has a strong emotional wall, would create good synergy by embracing each other.

‘Yes, this is the most optimal room combination in my opinion.’

I went into Seo Yu-jin’s room and was satisfied that the rooms were well divided without any disruption.

and… .

“Wow… .”

I fell into admiration again.

“The room is almost as big as my house… .”

A spacious room, plenty of sunlight, and even quality-looking furniture.

I felt ecstatic at the sight of the room, which was so satisfying… .

“Eujin, which of the two beds here would you like to use?”

“You choose first! I have nothing left!”

“Then I have this.”

I once laid down on the bed that was meant to be mine.

Soft.

“… Good.”

I thought the bed I used at the hotel was pretty good, but it couldn’t even be compared to the one I have now.

As I was feeling the soft bed and the soft blanket, Seo Yu-jin lay down next to me and hugged me.

Pook.

“Yes, it’s good.”

“… Eugene, your bed is over there.”

“Hihi, I like it here.”

The bed was the size of a double bed, so although it was a bit narrow, Seo Yujin and I were able to lie down together.

… Therefore, I was confident that Seo Yu-jin would come to my bed every night.

‘But what… , are you okay.’

After being born into Haye-rin’s body, I used to sleep between my father and mother for 19 years.

Even in Naa, there were many times when I slept in the same bed as Seo Yu-jin, so this was not an inconvenience.

‘good night… .’

I stroked Seo Yu-jin’s head and thought for a moment.

All I can think about these days is that I am very happy.

Until a few months ago, I lived a difficult life, working a part-time job and going to school, but now I am living in a luxury apartment in Gangnam.

He won My Idol Academia and is about to debut.

In the future, you will be able to earn a lot of money through idol activities.

More than anything… .

He likes me… , the number of precious people has increased a lot.

This isn’t just about my fans.

I just remembered the members who nominated me when deciding on a room.

I was embarrassed at the time, but the fact that many members wanted to share a room with me… , filled my shameful desires.

Seo Yu-jin, who is now in my arms.

And Yoo Seol, Lee Hye-jung, Park Yoo-jung, and Na Hanna are members of our Rookies.

In addition, members of our Brother Planning family such as Kang Hyeong-man, Lee Ji-woo, and Sang-gu oppa.

‘Everything is good…’ .’

Everyone was good.

I felt that with these people, I could overcome any hardship.

okay… , I like… , with these people who like me.

“… Eugene.”

“Yes, sister.”

“Are you always going to be by my side?”

While asking that question, I slightly turned my head and looked down to see Seo Yu-jin smiling and answering as if I was saying something obvious.

“Of course.”

“Thank you.”

As a feeling of compensation, I pulled Seo Yu-jin closer to me.

The sunlight is warm, the bed is soft… , Seo Yu-jin, who was hugged, was as cozy as a teddy bear and felt like falling asleep.

‘If only every day were like today… .’

It was then that I had the happiest nap in the world.

Suddenly.

“Miss Yerin-!!”

“… … !”

A female employee of NAS Entertainment, who had shown a quiet and gentle appearance until now, came out and opened Seo Yu-jin’s door with a yell.

Seo Yu-jin and I were embarrassed and had to get out of bed.

“… Yes, yes? I’m here… , but something happened… .”

“I think you need to answer the phone quickly! This is Director Jeong!”

“… … .”

From her extremely urgent expression… , I sensed that something had happened that shouldn’t have happened.

So, I answered the phone feeling more nervous than ever.

“… Hello?”

[…] Ms. Yerin, this is Director Jeong.]

Even though he was always tired, Director Jeong always spoke kindly to us… , His voice was hard and cold now.

“… Yes, Director Jeong.”

[I will ask you directly.]

Director Jeong asked me with the nuance of a prosecutor interrogating a criminal.

[Miss Yerin, perhaps… , Did you sign a double contract?]

“… … Yes?”

A double contract… .

In addition to the suddenly cold atmosphere, I couldn’t understand what he was saying.

When I hesitated, Director Jeong sighed and asked again.

[ha… , Ms. Yerin. Don’t be nervous and answer calmly. While appearing on My Idol Academia, have you ever signed with an agency other than Brothers Entertainment?]

“Oh, no… . There is no company other than Brother Planning that has signed a contract… .”

[…] Then please take a look at the article that is currently spreading on the Internet and call me back.]

“… Yes.”

I immediately hung up the phone with Director Jeong, turned on my smartphone, and went to the article section on the Internet.

“… Sister, what’s going on?”

“I don’t know, I… .”

and… .

“… … Huh?”

[My Idol Academia winner Ha Ye-rin’s ‘double contract’ controversy… .]

[Suit filed against MS Planning NAS Entertainment: Will Rookies’ debut be canceled?]

[MS Planning CEO Ahn’s comment, ‘Ha Ye-rin is a trainee at our company.’]

[Controversy over ‘threats’ and ‘assaults’ by Ha Ye-rin’s agency, Brother Planning CEO Kang]

[Ha Ye-rin’s agency, Brother Planning, is a gangster company? Let’s dig into this.]

I couldn’t help but freeze when I saw the titles of the articles that were flooding the Internet.
