When people continue to experience something, they become dull.

The same goes for pain and trials.

“… … .”

Seo Yu-jin, who until yesterday would immediately cry whenever something like this happened, now instead of crying, she had a blank expression on her face.

of course… .

[Status abnormalities: extreme depression, extreme anxiety disorder, extreme nervous breakdown, extreme separation anxiety.]

‘… shit,’

Just because I didn’t shed tears didn’t mean I was okay.

“… Eugene.”

I lost the production crew… , As soon as I saw Seo Yu-jin’s status window, I immediately held her in my arms.

And then, as promised, he wrapped her warmly.

“Ignore.”

“… … .”

“I told you yesterday that you don’t have to suffer for mistakes you didn’t make. Those people are bad, so ignore them.”

“… … .”

Seo Yu-jin asked me in a weak tone while nodding her head in my arms.

“… But sister. People don’t know.”

“… What?”

“… People don’t know whether I made those mistakes or not. People would point fingers at me without even knowing whether I was the one who made the mistake or not… , what should I do about that… ?”

“… … .”

I was shocked for a moment by Seo Yu-jin’s words and didn’t say anything.

And in the end, I cast the Heavenly Demon Illusion.

It was because I didn’t think I could comfort her with just a few words right now.

but… .

“… Everything will be okay with time.”

[You have failed to cast the Heavenly Demon Illusion!]

… I even failed at the illusion of heaven.

I also immediately knew why it failed.

… Because I don’t think so.

It’s a shame it won’t get better over time.

If the production crew edits the broadcast exactly as intended and broadcasts it, people will immediately believe it. And those who believe that will continue to throw stones.

There was no way that vicious cycle could be resolved over time.

The situation became hopeless as the heavenly illusion that I had believed in ended in failure.

But the good news is… , There are two more people here who can comfort Seo Yu-jin besides me.

“Eujin… … .”

In particular, the kind-hearted Lee Hye-jung hugged Seo Yu-jin from behind with tears in her eyes as if she were the one herself.

Originally, Seo Yu-jin was hugged to my chest, so the three of us were hugging each other.

“Sister too… , My sister also had a hard time because of the production crew… . But now… , it’s okay. Eugene, you too… , It’s hard now, but there will definitely come a time when things will get better later. So you have to hold on… .”

Hyejeong Lee gave more honest consolation, sharing her own experiences.

Me too… , he said, placing his hand on Seo Yu-jin’s head as if he felt sorry for Seo Yu-jin’s appearance right now.

“… … In the end the truth always comes out. So cheer up.”

The atmosphere quickly became warm as three people, including Hannah Na, who was usually uninterested in others, comforted me.

but… .

[Status abnormalities: extreme depression, extreme anxiety disorder, extreme nervous breakdown, extreme separation anxiety.]

I didn’t know that this alone would change Seo Yu-jin’s impregnable condition.

‘ha… , what should I do… .’

It was at that time that I was wondering how to solve Seo Yu-jin’s condition.

“Sisters… , thank you… .”

Seo Yu-jin, who was held between me and Lee Hye-jeong, was dozing off… , He soon got out and thanked us.

There was a smile on her face as she said that.

There are already tear marks around her eyes… , even though the chest area of my clothes was wet… , She didn’t seem to want to show that she had cried.

“Thanks to my sisters… , But it got a little better.”

[Status abnormalities: extreme depression, extreme anxiety disorder, extreme nervous breakdown, extreme separation anxiety.]

lie. I’m not okay.

“As the sisters said… , it will be resolved over time. So I’ll hold on. however… , I’m a little tired today. … Let’s go in first.”

“… Eugene, let’s go together.”

“… Ah yes. Then, sister, please wait a moment. I’m going to go to the bathroom.”

Seo Yu-jin, who had always tried to stay by my side all day, went to the bathroom alone.

Seo Yu-jin gave us a smile as if she was really okay, but… , the back looks really lonely… .

[Status abnormalities: extreme depression, extreme anxiety disorder, extreme nervous breakdown, extreme separation anxiety.]

The status abnormality was still gorgeous.

thud.

As soon as Seo Yu-jin left the practice room, the three of us whispered.

“… I said it was okay, but… , doesn’t it look okay?”

“… Yes, no matter who sees it.”

“I guess they just wanted to pretend everything was okay with us.”

Seo Yu-jin, who was self-centered and selfish when we first met, has now grown up.

And in a very painful way.

I sighed at seeing Seo Yu-jin like that and then spoke to Lee Hye-jeong and Na Hanna.

“We… Is there anything I can do for Eugene?”

“… … .”

“… … .”

The two people were silent at my question.

Then, Hyejeong Lee opened her mouth with difficulty.

“Perhaps… , even if we, the cast of Naaah, expose the production crew’s misdeeds… .”

“Sister!”

Nahanna opened her sleepy eyes wide and was startled, interrupting her.

He then pointed to the unattended camera in the corner.

Ji-ing-.

It’s still working hard… , it also had a good performing microphone.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Nahanna reminded us of that fact, dragged us to a corner where the microphone could not reach, and whispered.

“… Sisters. You’re not going to debut? expose? Whistleblowing? This floor is sensitive to things like that. The moment you say something like that… , I can never set foot here again.”

“… … .”

… Yes, definitely revealing was too risky.

Although we are just trainees, behind the Naaah production team is Nnet Broadcasting Station and behind that is a leading conglomerate that is ranked in the top 5 in Korea.

As soon as you touch them, you will be kicked out of this place forever along with all kinds of legal action.

Lee Hye-jeong must have realized what Nahanna said and immediately closed her mouth.

“Ha… , then what should I do… .”

“Phew… .”

Then everyone sighed together and remained silent.

It was then.

“… But, sisters. Why isn’t he coming?”

“… … !”

Sigh-.

As soon as I heard Nahanna’s words, I immediately looked at my watch.

Five minutes have already passed.

It was a long time to just go to the bathroom.

‘crazy.’

At that moment, I felt a chill running down my spine.

I was complacent.

How can they leave Seo Yu-jin alone, who suffers from severe depression, severe anxiety disorder, and other tremendous health problems?

I wonder if Lee Hye-jeong and Na Hanna also felt the same intensity as me… , stood up with a stern expression.

We ran to the bathroom where Seo Yu-jin said she would go first.

and… .

“Huhhh… , ugh… , ugh… .”

“… … .”

In a bathroom with the light on… , I could hear mournful cries coming out.

It didn’t seem to be as extreme as we thought… , but I didn’t feel fortunate.

So the three of us stood in front of the bathroom where Seo Yu-jin was crying for a long time.

I really felt like a dog.

**

That night.

I asked Seo Yu-jin to sleep with me before she spoke… , Seo Yu-jin and I spent the night cuddling in the same bed.

but… .

“Umm… .”

Because what happened last night was an incident… , I easily slept through the night and woke up earlier than expected at dawn.

and… .

“… Huh?”

Seo Yu-jin was not next to me when I woke up early.

It was early in the morning, with a long time left until the meeting time. The restaurant wasn’t even open yet… , Where on earth did he go?

Feeling similar to yesterday, I roughly packed my outerwear and set out to find Seo Yu-jin.

“Eujin… , Eugene… !”

How would you feel if a child you had placed in the water suddenly disappeared?

Quiet accommodation.

Almost all the participants were still sleeping, but I didn’t care about that and ran inside the building, calling Seo Yu-jin.

and… .

“… Sister?”

“… Eugene.”

… Fortunately, I was able to find Seo Yu-jin quickly.

“… No, why aren’t you sleeping any more?”

“You are like that. Why all of a sudden… .”

Seo Yu-jin was standing on the first floor neatly dressed in the civilian clothes she had worn instead of the training uniform provided by Naa.

When I saw that and asked curiously, Seo Yu-jin answered with a weak smile.

“Sister… , I… . I’m just going to get off.”

“… … !”

Of course, tears soon began to form in her eyes.

“I don’t think I can do it anymore… . I don’t know what the production crew will do in the future… , also… .”

“… … .”

“If I were there, I would be a nuisance to you too… .”

Seo Yu-jin’s hands were shaking as she said that.

That moment… , I couldn’t say anything.

Don’t give up, hold on a little longer.

I was going to say this… , My mouth did not drop.

In this situation… , is still being criticized by the public, and at the point when the production team declared that they would completely bury her… .

Getting off… , it is the least painful choice for Seo Yu-jin… .

I also knew it deep down.

When I couldn’t say anything with a stiff expression, Seo Yu-jin held my hand and said,

“Sister, don’t make that face. I won’t give up on that idol.”

“… … .”

“Later… , when we both debut… , See you again then.”

Seo Yu-jin was speaking hopefully… , there was no way she didn’t know either.

If you get off at Naaa now… , if you leave without all the stigma that you have now… .

It’s difficult to debut as an idol. Even if they debut, it is clear that they will leave with even bigger wounds.

Even though I know all that… , Seo Yu-jin decided to leave the show.

How much did you worry about it last night, and how difficult was it?

To this, I just nodded and said:

“… Let’s go together, Eugene. I’ll be by your side.”

Standing next to Seo Yu-jin, who announced her intention to leave the show to the production team.

This was the only thing I could do for Seo Yu-jin.

“… Thank you, sister.”

Seo Yu-jin nodded and we headed to the production team’s headquarters together.

Even though it was a headquarters, it wasn’t anything grand.

Just in the corner of the first floor of Naaah’s accommodation… , It was a temporary lodging and conference room used by the production crew.

The production crew stays up there almost every night… , Even if it is early in the morning, there are definitely people who are awake.

We trudged there and, as expected, the lights were on at the production headquarters.

“Then open the door, Eugene.”

“… Yes.”

And the moment I made up my mind and opened the door… .

“Shin PD!!!!”

“… … !”

… A scream of tension that made it hard to believe it was morning erupted from inside.

“Si, PD Shin, where have you gone, PD!!”

“Boo, you clearly went out to sleep for a bit… ! I don’t know where you are… .”

Find “!! Find it quickly!! Everyone, contact the legal team right away!! I and the rest of us gather all the reactions from the internet, whether from communities or articles!”

Inside the headquarters, the production crew was running around waving documents around as if there was a war going on.

“Well, what is it… , what’s going on… ?”

“Sure… ?”

Seo Yu-jin and I just watched blankly at the unexpected sight… .

“Yes, Miss Yerin? And Miss Eugene? What’s going on here… !”

“I… , that is… .”

“I don’t know what it is, but we’re busy! later… ! Come back later, okay?”

… We had no choice but to return due to the production crew telling us to kick them out.

As we returned to the room, Seo Yu-jin and I were in a daze and then spoke.

“… I see something big is happening.”

“After listening to the story, it seems like something happened on the Internet… .”

“Internet?”

Seo Yu-jin and I went out that way to find the tablet PC in our practice room.

In a place where handsets were confiscated and there were no computers, it was the only way to access the Internet.

And soon… , I was able to understand why the production crew was in emergency mode.

“This is… .”

“… … .”

It was a post posted on a community.

dawn… , the article was posted when most people were sleeping… .

[I am a participant who appeared in Naaa. While I am quitting being an idol, I would like to make a confession of conscience.]

… It was heating up the community from early in the morning and producing dozens of internet articles at the same time.
