Chapter 133: I Cup Women and E Cup Women, Part 6

“Welcome…”

As they entered the dance academy, the instructor at the counter looked at Hayoon and Jo A-yeong with apprehension.

They had been defeated here once before.

Their return suggested they had something to prove.

“Instructor…!”

The instructor rushed to the director’s office and, after a brief discussion, returned.

“Please go in for your consultation.”

“Okay.”

“Alright.”

So far, it was the same as last time.

They nodded politely and entered the director’s office.

“You’re… back…”

The director, recognizing them, looked concerned.

“It’s been… about two months? Since you two danced for one and two minutes, respectively, and went home.”

“Yes, about two months.”

“Closer to three, isn’t it?”

“It’s about the same.”

Hayoon and Jo A-yeong were just as serious.

They exchanged a few words and looked at the director expectantly.

Their gazes seemed to say, ‘You’ll teach us, right?’

The director felt conflicted.

Honestly, she wanted to turn them away.

Teaching them after witnessing their previous performance was a difficult decision.

However…

‘If they’re back after two months…’

Maybe they had improved their stamina?

She could at least hope.

“Alright. Let’s go to the practice room. I’ll observe you dance, and if your stamina seems adequate, I’ll teach you.”

“Okay.”

“Let’s go.”

Hayoon and Jo A-yeong nodded, relieved, and followed the director to the same practice room as before.

The familiar mirror greeted them, and Jo A-yeong stepped forward first.

“I’ll show you. I believe I’m fit enough to dance now.”

She took a deep breath, her legs shoulder-width apart. A popular idol song started playing.

She brought her legs together and started with a sharp, promising move.

However, the promising start was short-lived.

“Huff… haa…”

Her breathing, though heavy, wasn’t as alarming as before.

It was the kind of heavy breathing anyone would have after vigorous exercise.

However…

‘Her breasts are the problem.’

Despite her improved stamina from consistent cardio, her breasts were too large.

Even simple turns were amplified by her chest, making her movements uncontrolled and clumsy, ruining the overall flow of the dance.

It was a fatal flaw for a dancer, but…

“Huff… puff… haa…”

Jo A-yeong, groaning, gave it her all and collapsed.

Three minutes and 23 seconds.

Though still short of a full idol song, it was almost twice as long as her previous attempt.

The director, observing her…

“Ms. A-yeong, was it?”

“Yes… haa…”

“Get up.”

She helped Jo A-yeong up.

“You have no reason to be discouraged. You’ve worked hard for two months to improve your stamina. You deserve to dance.”

Was she impressed by Jo A-yeong’s dedication?

The director smiled.

Her intense gaze, like that of a long-time mentor, was striking.

“My turn. Please play the music.”

It was Hayoon’s turn.

The music started, and Hayoon’s freestyle dance lasted for about five minutes.

A passing grade.

***

Hayoon and Jo A-yeong, who had been rejected due to their lack of stamina, had finally earned the right to learn how to dance after two months of training.

The first lesson was basic steps, but…

“I’m finally doing something!”

Jo A-yeong, stressed by her stagnant YouTube channel and her growing boredom with exercise, seemed genuinely happy.

Learning something new gave her hope, allowing her to focus on it.

“You’re happy just from learning basic steps?”

“Of course! The other second-generation members can sing and act, right? I’ll focus on dancing. I’ll show them what hard work can achieve.”

Her excitement was evident.

However…

‘Even if she practices hard, she won’t be an amazing dancer. Three months isn’t enough time.’

Still, she would learn the fundamentals of dance.

She would understand the theory and be able to analyze idol dances.

Then, regardless of the actual results, she could choose and perform any dance she wanted on her streams.

‘Plenty of people would enjoy watching her breasts jiggle while she dances, and in three months, she should be able to learn dances by watching them and perform them on stream…’

Being able to add dancing to Vivian’s content was encouraging. It was a valuable addition.

“Let’s practice hard for the debut concert. The concert will focus on singing and stage presence, but if you want, I can add a dance break for you.”

“A dance break? Really?”

“Yes, if you practice hard, you’ll improve by December. Three months of dance lessons should be enough to learn a simple dance routine.”

“Really? Me?”

“Of course. You can do it. The director praised you a lot today.”

“Right, right, she praised me a lot. She said my steps were good, and that they would get even better…”

Hayoon encouraged Jo A-yeong so she wouldn’t give up.

Jo A-yeong might complain later about being teased for her dancing, but…

‘Let’s just earn a lot of money… Unnie…?’

Hayoon thought financial compensation would be sufficient.

For now, she would push forward.

While Hayoon was busy with the “Save Vivian” project, taking Jo A-yeong to the gym and dance academy…

“Welcome, everyone. I’ve been waiting.”

Hong Seo-hyun, Vtuber Scarlet, started her stream with a warm smile, engaging with her viewers.

“It’s almost Chuseok, what are you all doing? Going back to your hometowns?”

–Probably.
–I’ll listen to Red Sky on my way.

“Aww, thank you for listening to my song even during your travels. I’ll be staying in Seoul, so I’ll be streaming. If you’re bored at your relatives’ house, tune in and listen like a radio.”

–Of course.
–Obviously.

Hong Seo-hyun, Scarlet, with her gentle smile, was like a friendly older sister to her viewers.

Though they called her “Doctor” and “Professor,” and…

She was only twenty…

Her innocent voice made her seem older.

“And to the students among my viewers… the actual students, not the working ones…”

As she continued her usual interactive stream, Scarlet specifically addressed the student viewers.

“Student” was a term she used for her younger audience. Having gathered their attention…

“There’s some good news coming at the end of the year. I hope you all are saving your allowance. New textbooks might be coming soon.”

She mentioned “textbooks.”

–Textbooks…?
–Really…?

The viewers were skeptical but hopeful.

It was a natural reaction.

“Textbooks” in Scarlet’s streams meant merchandise.

“Well, I told you everything.”

Hong Seo-hyun, following Hayoon’s instructions to give the viewers a hint, had gone as far as to tell them to save their allowance.

If Hayoon had seen this, she would have given her a standing ovation.

“I’m so excited.”

–What is it?
–Is it something big…?

The groundwork for AGC was being laid.
