“Woo, please vote for our team… , Nyang.”

“ Ahhh !!!! ”

“ Uwaah Ah-a-ah-ah- !!! ”

After the unexpected cuteness, I returned to the backstage, leaving behind monstrous shouts.

His face was stained red, as if he had just hit a bottle of soju with one shot.

‘Boo, I’m embarrassed… !’

My teammates welcomed me with bright smiles.

“Kya-! sister!! It was really cute!!”

“You’re so cute I almost kidnapped you, really!”

“… shut up. I don’t talk to you guys. You played rock, paper, scissors… .”

The full story of the incident was like this.

After finishing the performance and coming down to the backstage, Park Yoo-jung suddenly suggested that one of the team members go out and greet the audience.

‘I’m adding nyang at the end of my words as a bit of a punishment. how is it?’

‘uh… , is it really necessary to do that? I feel like I can’t do it because I’m embarrassed… .’

‘ruler! Are you all ready to do it? If you don’t pay, you lose, rock, paper, scissors~’

‘… Oh, what.’

When we suddenly started playing rock, paper, scissors like that, everyone except me was making mistakes.

… I was a fist.

As a result, I had no choice but to show cuteness to the audience as if I had just been pushed off a cliff.

shaking.

This is my first time doing something like this, so my legs are still shaking and my face is hot.

I said while looking at Park Yoo-jung, who was clearly behind this incident.

“Yujeong you… . You’re the one who planned this, right?”

When I asked with a red face, Park Yoo-jung answered with a mischievous smile.

“Yes? Oh my, this is unfair! It’s true that I suggested it first, but the other team members all agreed!”

“What? Then, in the end, it was you who planned it… !”

“It’s true that I planned it, but Yujin said she liked it first, Yujin!”

When Park Yoo-jung pointed out, I looked at Seo Yu-jin again with eyes full of betrayal.

And Seo Yu-jin… .

“… Eugene, how could you? What did I do for you… .”

“I’m sorry. But, hehe… , you just looked so cute.”

He had a sad expression on his face, as if he thought it was really cute that I was joking around in front of the audience just now.

So, I was about to say one more thing to Seo Yu-jin… .

“This is true… , … !”

… I stopped when I saw something.

At that time, I had a habit of turning Seo Yu-jin’s status window on and off from time to time to check for abnormalities in Seo Yu-jin’s condition.

Even now, when I’m talking to my teammates… , I was turning the Seo Yujin status window on and off frequently, knowingly or unknowingly.

And to me… .

[Status abnormality: Mild anxiety disorder, separation anxiety.]

… Seo Yu-jin’s condition, which was different from usual, was noticeable.

I don’t know if it’s a temporary phenomenon, but… , Seo Yu-jin’s depression had disappeared.

“… … .”

“… Sister?”

So I looked at Seo Yujin blankly… , She tilted her head and faced me.

The face of Seo Yu-jin looking at me… , seemed healthy both physically and mentally.

It was a world-changing difference from the first day he came to the set this week with a gloomy expression after being harshly criticized by the public.

‘me… Is it because… .’

At that moment, I thought about the actions I had taken towards Seo Yu-jin this week… , I remembered the times I spent with her.

To think that such efforts have accumulated to create such a change… .

‘proud… , it does… .’

… I felt proud.

At this, I smiled and put my hand on Seo Yujin’s head and stroked it and said,

“This week… , thank you for your hard work.”

“… Sister.”

It was a short word, but Seo Yu-jin’s eyes trembled as if she understood the meaning of my words.

And then… .

I’m crying.

Like me, his bleary eyes began to fill with tears as he remembered the events of this week.

“Wait-!!”

At that time, it seemed like Seo Yu-jin was about to shed tears… , Park Yoo-jung, perhaps sensing the gloomy atmosphere, stepped forward to change the mood.

“Sister! Why only Eugene is petting me! I worked hard too!”

“… Yes.”

When Park Yoo-jung stepped in, I immediately stroked her head with my other hand.

Actually, I didn’t pay much attention to the team this week because I was taking care of Seo Yu-jin.

If Park Yoo-jung had not played a role in balancing me, Seo Yu-jin, and the team members, we would not have been able to present such a good performance.

“Our Yu-jeong had a really hard time.”

“Hehe.”

As I stroked Seo Yu-jin and Park Yu-jeong with both hands at the same time, other team members also came towards us.

“Please pat us too.”

“We also had a hard time… !”

Yes, other team members also had a hard time following practice.

In response, I spread my arms wide and invited other team members into my arms.

“Okay, everyone come here.”

“Hehe.”

Naaah’s 3rd team competition, which had many difficulties from the start, ended with all team members hugging and forming a huge ball.

“Thank you all for your hard work.”

“You all worked hard.”

“But our performance was good, right? I have to be in the top 3… .”

“A joke? We are definitely number one.”

“Please, I have to.”

“Hehe, Yerin’s skin is so soft.”

“… Yoojeong, where are you touching now… , Huh?!”

The most memorable of the last three contests… , it was such a heartwarming ending.

**

When Haye-rin’s team’s stage was over and the members of Haye-rin’s team were immersed in the afterglow of a successful stage… .

“Hmm… .”

There was one person standing in the corner of the set with a calculating expression.

It was Shin PD.

In fact, it could be said that the person experiencing the biggest upheaval in Naaa this time was none other than Shin PD.

Accordingly, he considered the broadcast angle more carefully than ever before and calculated the amount of broadcasting.

Originally, Shin PD planned to fill episode 7 of Naaah with new factions… , it was not possible to do so due to Yoo Seol’s unexpected behavior.

Accordingly, in terms of topicality, episode 7 of Naaah was likely to be quite poor… .

‘Woo, please vote for our team… , cat.’

Shin PD was able to take a breather thanks to Ha Ye-rin’s amazing highlight.

As expected, it was Ha Ye Linda who had been a dutiful daughter since the beginning of Naaah.

‘How did something like that come in? , I was lucky too. That’s how you make up for the loss that idiot bitch lost.’

So, Shin PD felt relieved that he had secured enough screen time and focused on the next team’s final stage.

It was then.

“Oh my~ PD Shin.”

I turned around at the sudden voice… .

“… Representative Ahn?”

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you.”

… A pretty big man was smiling and calling to him.

It’s not as good as the three major agencies, but… , Ahn Min-soo, CEO of MS Planning, one of the top five entertainment companies in Korea.

Even though they were always close friends, PD Shin couldn’t help but be embarrassed when the representative of a large agency visited the set without saying anything.

“No… , How can I do this without any contact… . What brought you here?”

“Haha, I came because I heard there were a lot of useful participants in Naaa this time.”

“Ah… .”

Among the trainees who participated in idol audition programs like Naaah, there are many talented people.

However, only a few of them are chosen by the public and make their debut… , Those who were not selected despite their talent resume their life as trainees.

At this time, there are groups of people approaching the trainees.

Just other agencies.

They offer better conditions than existing companies and secretly attract talented trainees to their companies.

So-called hijacking. Otherwise known as pickpocketing, this was one of the tricks that large agencies used on small and medium-sized agencies after audition programs such as Naaah.

Of course, it wasn’t the right thing to do in terms of business ethics… .

“Haha, if that was the case, couldn’t you have told me in advance? I should have made a list for you!”

This was not a new PD who cared about business ethics.

CEO Ahn maintained a close relationship with PD Shin and was looking after PD Shin, so PD Shin would supply appropriate trainees to MS Planning whenever his program ended.

In particular, Producer Shin, who lost a lot of his position due to the SAV Seo Yu-jin incident, desperately needed someone to support him, so he stopped monitoring the stage and flattered CEO Ahn.

“Especially this time, there are a lot of A-level players. My name is Hyejeong Lee… , there is one kid who is sure to fail but has good skills. Since the company is a small business, it is easy for the CEO to press… .”

“Ah, that kid is okay… , I came here personally because there was a kid I was interested in.”

“If you are interested in a child, what kind of… ?”

“Ha Ye-rin, who just performed… , that girl.”

“… !”

When CEO Ahn mentioned Ha Ye-rin with a friendly smile, PD Shin paused for a moment and then answered.

“Ha Ye-rin… , wouldn’t it be a little difficult for her? It’s almost certain that they’re a debut group, so if they catch their eye, the headquarters… .”

“Ah! Of course, since the talent was discovered there, they should be used there first. However, I am talking about what happened a year later, when the group formed by Naaa disbanded.”

“… Ah, one year later.”

“In the end, she will debut again in a new group… , I found out it was a brother project? It was embarrassing to even call her company a small business.”

Nod.

PD Shin also nodded at those words.

It was a fact that Shin PD also investigated that Ha Ye-rin’s brother entertainment company had no singers and only one trainee.

“From her point of view, wouldn’t a big company like MS Planning be better than a small company like that?”

“… … .”

“And then. According to our team’s investigation, the economic status of her family was not very good… .”

Representative Ahn smiled sinisterly and continued.

“Perhaps… , spawn… , don’t you need something like that?”

“… Yes?!”

After hearing that story, even the world’s new PD couldn’t help but be embarrassed.

Producer Shin, who reacted loudly without realizing it, soon closed his mouth, looked around, and whispered to CEO Ahn.

“… What kind of big deal is that? It’s a spawn in this day and age. If we get caught doing something like that, we’ll be in trouble. And it is already very popular with the public… , I sponsor a kid who will make a lot of money in the future. .”

“Haha! Of course what I just said was a ‘joke’.”

“… … .”

joke… Even though he said that, PD Shin was able to get a glimpse of the desire beyond CEO Ahn’s eyes.

‘This perverted old man… , I wonder if my head started spinning as I got older… .’

PD Shin was as talented as he was with good sense.

His senses were screaming that he should not be involved with CEO Ahn anymore.

The moment when PD Shin tries to subtly distance himself from him… .

“Wow, as expected, CEO Ahn’s jokes are also really gorgeous. But what should I do? I have to do some monitoring right now, so I’ll be out for a while… .”

“I heard that Producer Shin slipped in promotion to Deputy Director.”

“… … !”

CEO Ahn attacked Shin PD’s weaknesses.

“You know, right? I have a deep connection with the executives at that broadcasting station.”

“… … .”

“Ha Ye-rin I really want to bring that friend to our company. PD Shin, please help me, hehe.”

Sigh.

PD Shin slowly looked at CEO Ahn’s hand placed in front of him.

This was as high-risk, high-return as any of his choices to date.

CEO Ahn actually has a spider web-like connection with Nnet executives, so if he worked hard, this matter of promotion to deputy director could have been resolved well.

But if things go wrong… .

‘I am a motherfucker.’

It was clear that the new PD, whose current position was already unstable, would fall.

So PD Shin looks at the poisoned chalice in front of him… .

chin.

“No problem, CEO. I have to work hard.”

… I held his hand without hesitation.

If a large company like MS Planning and a new PD act together, what can a small business with just one trainee do?

Since what CEO Ahn wants is Ha Ye-rin after the Naaa Group was disbanded, there is no particular problem with the headquarters.

okay… , this was definitely something where the return was much greater than the risk.

However, if there is something that takes a little bit… .

‘Brother Planning, those thugs… .’

Brother Planning Instructor. Anyone can tell that I’m a gangster, and that’s written on my face.

If that gangster takes personal revenge on PD Shin himself… .

For example, burying it in a mountain… , Put it in a drum and throw it into the sea… .

PD Shin imagined himself sinking into the sea along with cement… .

‘… Hey, does that make sense in 21st century Korea? ‘It’s not even a movie.’

… He immediately shook his head and bowed his head once again towards Representative Ahn.

“Then, thank you, CEO. You will definitely be able to achieve what you want. When will I find a place for you?”

“Haha, thank you.”

That’s how the secret deal between the two came to fruition.
