90 – 22nd Floor: Serenia

“I wonder if this is weird?”

I ask the viewers while searching about Serenia of Aurora Entertainment.

• It’s 100% weird, but what can you do?
• Just do it, Do-hee.
• But if you were going to do this, you should have just gone to a big company!
• Big companies wouldn’t make their girl groups do that.
• You never know.
• You never know.
• Meet them, you never know.
• What does the internet say?

The search results didn’t show anything special.

It’s a pretty old agency, but this is the first time they’ve officially created a girl group, and their results aren’t that great.

Their first album was a moderate success.

Their second album felt like somewhere between a moderate success and a flop?

More than anything, it’s been three months since the second album was released, but they’ve barely been active. I don’t know why, but the only activity is a little bit on YouTube.

They’re typically following the route of a girl group whose activities are cut off and slowly forgotten.

“Hmm… Their songs are pretty good, and they’re visually appealing. Why did they fail?”

• I know, right?
• That blonde is so hot.
• They dance well, and the songs are well-made, but they can’t make it big? It’s 100% because the agency is trash.
• The songs are so well-made that they would do well even if they came out now?
• No reason to fail, but they failed? Hmm…
• You never know, just check it out.
• Seriously, run away if there’s office politics.

‘That’s right. I’ll only know if I meet them.’

I reply to Manager Kim Myung-hoon that I understand, and the schedule is immediately set for tomorrow. The place isn’t some weird motel, but an ordinary cafe near the agency.

“If I fail here too, well… I’ll have to skip for about half a year.”

Skipping isn’t always the best option. Especially, the efficiency of training is strangely low.

So, I usually only use skip for resting, eating, sleeping, showering, etc., when I’m really doing nothing, but six months means I have to stay on top for at least one or two months.

‘If I go out too late, the fans might riot…’

I need to clear the trial and get out quickly to provide elixirs to our guild members.

 

The next day.

I put on jeans and a T-shirt and go to the meeting place.

I’m already used to the public’s attention, so I don’t care and go into the cafe. He recognizes me first and waves his hand.

‘What, he looks normal?’

I thought the manager of a failed girl group would look like a shut-in or a greedy pig, but he wasn’t.

He’s neatly dressed and has tidy hair. I thought a member of the agency came to greet me, not the manager.

“Lee Do-hee? Hello. I’m Kim Myung-hoon, the manager in charge of Serenia at Aurora Entertainment.”

I can feel a bit of formality in his greeting.

‘So, it’s not a lecherous purpose…’

“Yes, hello. I’m Lee Do-hee.”

As I bow my head, my large breasts block his view, and I can feel him flinching and turning his head away.

‘He’s a normal guy.’

He seems to be trying to change the subject, throwing out random questions similar to those he asked at the interview, and spouting ordinary words.

I answer his questions comfortably and honestly.

Regarding the training period, I honestly say that it was about three weeks during the interview. Now it’s almost been a month.

‘Anyway, the training period wasn’t the important thing…’

But Manager Kim’s reaction was different at this point.

“What? Not six months, but one month? And you’re saying you filmed the video after practicing for a week?”

“Yes… Well, an acquaintance… I mean, a viewer… said that if I said the training period was too short, I wouldn’t get picked…”

“Isn’t it usually the opposite? If you’re good with a short training period, it means you have talent. Who is that acquaintance?”

‘Oh, now that I think about it, that’s right. This isn’t some kind of professional job, it’s not like a longer training period is better, damn viewers!’

In fact, I nodded at that statement myself, but that’s already been erased from Lee Do-hee’s mind.

“Then negotiations will be easier than I thought.”

“Yes? Negotiations?”

“Ah, well, can we move to the company to discuss the details? There’s something I can’t say where someone might hear us.”

“Um… Am I hired?”

“Almost, well, I’ve hired you.”

“…?”

His words are a bit ambiguous, but I follow him into the company.

A five-story agency building.

I felt it last time too, but it’s a pretty good facility compared to its reputation. I feel the cold gazes of the people around me, but I follow him inside.

I enter a small conference room where I can be alone with him.

“Hoo… Can I get straight to the point?”

“What’s the story that’s so important?”

He turns serious and looks at me.

“Lee Do-hee, I’m thinking of recruiting you as the fifth member of Serenia.”

“Yes…? You mean I’m joining an existing girl group?”

I didn’t expect this.

Failed girl groups are usually quickly abandoned and new ones are created, but Manager Kim was dreaming of Serenia’s revival.

‘But wouldn’t I be more of a liability if I joined? What’s his ulterior motive?’

“There must be a reason. Why are you recruiting me? Why me, who’s so lacking that I’ve been rejected by every agency?”

“Hoo… You’ll know what I want if I explain Serenia’s current situation.”

Serenia, a girl group that appeared like a comet.

Aurora Entertainment, which used to specialize in actors and comedians, ambitiously prepared for 10 years and released this girl group!

Even though their first album was only a moderate success, it was still a success in its own way.

It’s not a big agency, and they’re not related to idols at all, so a moderate success isn’t a bad start.

And as the fancam video of Serenia’s leader, Soo-ah, spread a lot, the number of fans continued to increase, and they were steadily rising.

However, a problem occurred on a music program.

The PD of the most popular music program, ‘Music Start,’ tried to sexually harass Soo-ah.

Although it didn’t actually happen thanks to Soo-ah’s quick response, the act was real.

So, the angry manager protested, but the PD brazenly told him to bring evidence if he had any, and since that day, they were banned from appearing on music programs on that broadcasting station.

And he said this to the manager.

[If you want to get them on the show again, bring her. Let’s have a drink together and sort things out, how about it?]

But all of Serenia’s members except Soo-ah are minors.

The manager, who had raised them for at least 5 years, or as long as 8 years, couldn’t possibly allow such a shameless act. Especially since Soo-ah is his niece, he couldn’t allow it even more.

Even if they weren’t minors, who knows what would happen if they drank with that guy?

“Then you can go to other places except that broadcasting station, right?”

“Hoo… They’re all not appearing for similar reasons… I found out later that broadcasting station guys can’t do anything in front of big agencies, but they’re really abusive to mid-sized agencies like us.”

“The members don’t know about that?”

“Those kids are practically my daughters. How could I… I couldn’t bring myself to tell them. I’m sorry.”

“But what exactly do you want me to do?”

“Actually, I don’t really know either… I’ve heard rumors about sexual favors, and I’ve heard that you can just drink and match the mood… There are so many urban legends in the entertainment industry, but I haven’t seen or heard anything directly, so I don’t know exactly.”

“You really don’t know?”

‘I think I know what it is… Is this person naive, or am I corrupt?’

“…I’m sorry. Please help me. In return, I will wholeheartedly support you so that you can become the best idol.”

“……”

I think I know why he was looking for me.

He doesn’t want to offer his daughters to dirty old men, but he can’t find another way with his connections or abilities.

So, he must have been desperate and tried to recruit me, who seems a bit sexually promiscuous.

‘I did write a very desperate application.’

If it were the old me, I would have punched him in the face for saying such nonsense. But now, for some reason, I don’t feel anything in particular. Rather, I feel like I’ve caught an opportunity.

‘Since this is a virtual world, I don’t have to feel guilty, right?’

They need someone like me to take on the dirty work, and I want to join a talented girl group.

It feels like our interests are aligned.

“Then I have conditions too.”

“Tell me. I’ll listen to everything.”

“I came here because I want to be an idol. Your idols are noble and innocent, so they wouldn’t do such things, but I… honestly don’t really care.”

I look straight at him and say.

“Instead, take responsibility and make Serenia, where I am, the best idol group.”

Yes, I’m Lee Do-hee.

I’m a woman who can do anything to clear the trial.

If time passes like this, even if I use skip, there’s a high probability that I won’t be able to enter a big agency as I get older.

In that case, let’s raise a proper girl group together.

‘Moreover, this group… is talented and visually appealing. It’s a group that’s strangely failing.’

“Of course… Even if you didn’t say that, our agency will make Serenia the best.”

We shake hands and make a secret agreement.

 

He said he had to have a meeting with the company executives for a while and left, leaving me alone in the conference room.

• Shock! Lee Do-hee suspected of sexual favors!!
• So when is it happening?
• Look at this girl going wild because it’s a virtual world lol
• When is my next fap material coming out?
• Do-hee, be honest, you’re thinking this is a sweet deal right now, aren’t you?

“W-What are you talking about!! I never liked the idea of getting into a good group for entertainment purposes and getting a free ride! And how do you know if it’s sexual favors or not, I haven’t even done it yet?”

• She’s confessing everything herself lol
• Busted
• Honestly, it’s comfortable and nice, right?
• .. If you don’t have enough skill, you have to make up for it with your body.
• Clearing the trial with her pussy.
• Seriously, isn’t it a sweet deal to get in by offering your pussy instead of suffering for a year?
• If Lee Do-hee got in by selling her worn-out pussy, then it’s a free ride.

“W-Who’s worn out! I’m still clean, okay?!”

My pussy isn’t dirty! Usually, women’s pussies get a little dirty and darken in color after using them for a long time, but my pussy is still as clean and tightly closed as a virgin’s pussy.

‘If anyone has a pussy as clean as this, come out!’

I feel like I want to take off my pants and show off my clean pussy right now.

• .. I want to see this girl giving sexual favors soon.
• Broadcasting station PDs, please fuck this girl like a dog.
• But what if they just drink and it’s over?
• Turns out the PD just wanted a drinking buddy lol
• They won’t just drink, they’ll eat women too.

“But honestly, rather than just drinking and listening to boasting…”

Click!

At that moment, the conference room door opens and the manager comes in.

And following behind him are several people, including the members. The agency president, road manager, producer, stylist… A large number of people enter the small conference room.

‘What, why did everyone suddenly come?’

The first thing I see is a familiar face from the video.

“Haa… Manager. Is this right?”

The leader, Im Soo-ah, with blonde hair and a healthy, balanced body. She looks at me coldly.

Next is a brown-haired woman with a bob haircut peeking out from behind Soo-ah.

“Huh, why is she putting her knees in her clothes? Wait…? Her legs are underneath??? E…? Eeeeee????”

With a cute cat-like face, she widens her eyes in surprise as she looks at my chest on the table.

Not only the other members, but also several people are looking at me with curiosity, as if they’re looking at a monkey in a zoo.

“Is that… the new member?”

“Has the manager finally gone crazy?”

“Oh my god, what did she put inside…”

“It’s not padding, it’s real?”

“Really… Wow, wow… Oh…”

‘T-This might be a little embarrassing…?’

I try to cover my chest with my hands at the sudden attention, but the breasts crushed by my arms spread to the side, making them look even more lewd.

“W-Waaaaah…”

“I’m hired…”

“Crazy…”

“Ahem… Okay, stop. Everyone calm down and take a seat. I’ll explain slowly.”

The manager goes to the front of the conference room and explains my necessity to the members and key figures.

The topicality and automatic promotional effect gained from my body and face.

The male fandom, which is a blue ocean in the idol scene.

And he persuades them by talking about participation rights in public music broadcasts and various terrestrial programs.

He didn’t tell the members that I was a member for entertainment purposes.

I didn’t care if he told them, but he must have thought it was shameful, or he didn’t want to show the kids the dark world of adults, so he only told a few people, such as the president and producer, who have the authority to make personnel decisions.

And of course, the key figures who had been tipped off in advance all agreed, and the opinion to accept me as a new member easily passed.

“Wait a minute. Does it make sense to decide like this?”

Leader Soo-ah protests, but people are already leaving quickly as if their business is over.

“Soo-ah, this is all a decision for Serenia. You don’t know now, but you’ll know when you grow up…”

“What does that mean, Manager? Anyone can see that she’s not… And how will we be able to appear on broadcasts if that woman joins? Who’s her backer?”

“No, it’s not what you think…”

‘She thinks I got in with a backer…’

It’s a bit shaky from the beginning, but it doesn’t matter. The important thing is our group’s success.

I must make Serenia successful.

 

A month has passed.

I practiced really hard for a month.

Not only the best vocal trainer in Korea, but also the best dance trainer were attached to me 1:1 and constantly gave me personal lessons.

I’m still very unskilled, but at least I’ve changed to the point where I don’t stand out because I can’t follow the choreography.

‘I… can dance idol dances…’

I cleaned up my studio apartment and lived in the dorm with the members. At first, they were a little dismissive, but they gradually opened their hearts after seeing me working hard with sincerity.

Everyone except the leader had good personalities.

The energetic Han So-mi with brown bobbed hair.

She’s in charge of main dance and creating the atmosphere.

“Unnie, you were serious? You’re not that lacking with this much skill?”

The kind Lee Re-in with beige wavy long hair who looks a little haughty.

She’s the main vocalist and in charge of the ultra-high notes in our group.

“I didn’t think you’d work this hard… Honestly, I suspected you got in with a backer too. I’m sorry, Unnie.”

And the cute Yoo Hye-ri with black straight hair who has a lot of aegyo.

She’s a talented person who has rap, composing, and writing skills.

“Hehehe, Unnie~~~! Mwah!!”

Hug!!

She’s already fallen for my chest cushion and hugs me every day.

Lastly, the blonde-haired leader Soo-ah, who’s looking at me hugging Hye-ri with a slightly dissatisfied expression.

“Hmph…”

But she didn’t openly ignore me or curse at me to leave like when I first came.

‘The first day in the dorm was really fierce.’

I don’t want to have a battle of wits with a woman again…

My official debut is in a month.

Since the second album failed, we decided to prepare properly and come back with the third album. Actually, it’s called the third album, but it’s just the release of a song with the third music video, and the song to actually prepare is just one.

‘Recording starts tomorrow.’

After a month of joining, I’m finally starting to work on a real song.

Effort doesn’t betray you.

Whether my talent wasn’t completely trash, I was able to dance somewhat plausibly, and I was able to sing with a delicate tone that brought out my timbre.

When I wore the special compression sports bra provided by the company, my chest was reduced to just a large size, so it didn’t stand out that much even in group choreography.

Although my butt and hips are still a little… no, very big, I decided to leave it alone since I can’t help it.

Thus, I spent my days preparing for the album, recording, filming music videos, practicing group choreography, and catching up on individual lessons, never having enough of the 24 hours in a day.

My relationship with the other members was improving, and I felt proud of my growing self.

Then, about a week before the album’s premiere, the manager came to find me.
