Private Yoo Chang-seon is now a free man. No… Private Yoo Chang-seon is a civilian.

The first thing he wanted to do after being discharged from the military was….

Want to meet your parents?

no.

Traveling with friends?

no.

Getting a girlfriend?

It’s impossible anyway.

What he wanted to do most was… to meet Hayerin in person.

So, as soon as he was discharged from the military, he thought about ways to actually meet Hayerin… but, as expected, it wasn’t easy.

At first, I looked into showcase tickets, but the competition was so fierce and the black market tickets were worth millions of won.

Next, I thought I might be able to meet Yerin if I went to a concert, but there was no way that the concert schedule for the rookies who had just debuted would have been released.

Before meeting Ha Ye-rin, Yoo Chang-seon was a complete novice when it came to idols, and he was left with no way to actually meet Ha Ye-rin.

At that time, while he was searching through all the SNS related to Rookies, what caught his eye was the music show audition.

However, since this was also decided by lottery in a highly competitive environment, Yoo Chang-seon applied with a half-given feeling.

And… I won.

‘Wowaaa-!!’

When I first heard the news that I had won, I was so happy I could jump for joy… but winning wasn’t the end.

[Sanok Time: 5:00 AM.]

“… … in?”

When he heard it was Sanok, he suddenly wondered why the name of the BaeX Ground map was coming up.

But Sanok wasn’t that Sanok.

So-called pre-recording.

I looked into it because I was curious, and it turned out that it was difficult for all idols to appear live on a music show that starts live at 5 PM, so they pre-recorded on set before that.

That’s why he had to go to the broadcasting station at 5 in the morning to see Yerin.

Of course, if you thought you could just get there on time because it was 5 AM, that would also be a mistake.

“Ahh… I’m tired… . I’m working the night shift even after being discharged from the military… .”

Sergeant Yoo Chang-seon woke up at 2 AM and arrived at the broadcasting station around 3 AM… .

Woof woof-.

Groan, groan.

“… What is this.”

Contrary to his expectations that he would be the first among the fans to arrive, the broadcasting station was literally packed with people.

There are approximately 200 fans who won tickets.

All fans want to see the Rookies up close.

Because the recording time was 5 AM, Private Yoo Chang-seon didn’t know that fans would be lining up since the night before.

So he stood in line behind the crowd to apply for admission with a blank expression on his face.

For your information, there were several preparations required to attend the concert, the most important of which was the purchase history of the Rookies’ album.

Yoo Chang-seon was finally able to obtain admission after going through several verification processes with staff, including his resume and ID.

Only then was Yoo Chang-seon able to take a breath and look around.

Everyone here is a Rookies fan… and most of them are women.

The result was quite different from the initial expectation that the group would have many male fans.

‘They all seem like crazy women… .’

If there are this many women in girl groups, how many women must there be in boy groups?

There was something that Yoo Chang-sun couldn’t understand from people who liked idols.

No matter how dedicated you are, it’s not like idols date their fans, so why do you lose sleep at night and work so hard just to see their faces once?

Yoo Chang-seon thought that everyone here was a bunch of idiots who were just wasting their time.

of course….

He was one of those idiots, though.

It’s dawn so my body is tired… and there are a lot of people so my mind is also agitated… .

“I got Yoojung’s photocard this time.”

“Wow! Where did you get this?”

The majority of female fans only talk amongst themselves and look at the few male fans with unpleasant eyes… .

“I’m sorry… .”

“… Yes?”

“You’re too tall… , we don’t have a height limit, but if you’re too tall, you’re usually assigned to the edge. ”

“… No, what is that.”

I lost a good seat because I was tall… .

Anyway, Yoo Chang-seon began to feel increasingly dizzy from his growing fatigue and dissatisfaction.

‘… Oh, shit, this sucks. I guess I shouldn’t come here again.’

Yeah, I can’t give up on liking Yerin… but, is there really a need to see Yerin in person?

Rather, if you watch it on your phone at home, you can see Yerin more closely from a comfortable seat.

Yoo Chang-seon sighed and vowed not to come to a place like this again… .

‘Ah… I’m sleepy… .’

It was at that time that I was gradually lowering my head as the drowsiness began to creep in.

“Huh? Here it comes!”

“Gyaaah-!!”

“What… , What… ?! Oh, you’re coming?”

Yoo Chang-seon, who was slowly lowering his head due to unbearable drowsiness, was startled by the piercing screams of the Rookies fans and raised his head.

The advantage of the edge was that you could see the members going up to the set up close.

Yoo Chang-seon woke up suddenly and, even though he was still dazed, he looked around to find Ha Ye-rin.

and….

Hwaaa-.

In the blurred vision, it seems as if it is shining on its own… .

‘ah….’

I was able to find a woman shining as if she was enveloped in pure white light.

The one who took charge of his time as a private… .

His eternal star.

It was Hayerin.

Ugh.

When Yoo Chang-seon saw her in person, he felt as if tears were welling up in his eyes.

He watched Hayerin pass in front of him… for a few seconds that felt like eons…

I could never take my eyes off her.

but….

‘Oh, no…!’

Time, which I wished would never end, was passing by so quickly.

In the brief moment of daze, Hayerin was trying to pass him and head up to the stage.

So he opened his mouth, thinking of somehow getting a word out to Hayerin.

“Yes, Yerin… !”

There he ran into a problem.

What should I call you…?

Yerin.

It’s so informal that it looks rude.

Yerin.

This is so formal that it sounds stiff.

‘Then, what should I call you…?’

Swish.

While Yoo Chang-seon was worrying about such trivial things, Ha Ye-rin was passing by.

So Yoo Chang-seon just called Ha Ye-rin by any name that came to mind.

“Yes, Yerin is the best…!!”

And I regretted it.

What the fuck.

What the hell is Yerin-chan? She’s not even a fucking otaku.

I never dreamed that after being discharged from the military and watching a little bit of anime, the snowball would roll like this.

It was at that moment that Yoo Chang-seon’s face turned red with extreme embarrassment.

Stop.

‘……uh?’

… a miracle happened.

Hayerin, who was heading up the stage, stopped for a moment when he called her, “Yerin the best.”

Binggle.

And then he turned around… .

Smile.

I waved at him with a small smile.

“… … !!”

If you’re a fan of Hayerin, you know.

How precious her little smile is.

And… how pretty it is.

“… … .”

There is a famous poem that goes like this:

When I called his name, he came to me and became a flower.

I thought it was just a metaphor… .

The moment Ha Ye-rin smiled faintly and waved at him… .

“… … .”

…he turned to stone.

A stone frozen in place… that has forgotten how to breathe.

“Puhaa… , haa… .”

When he came to his senses again, a minute and a half had passed and it was time to stop holding his breath.

“Haa… , haa… .”

Thump, thump, thump, thump.

He realized, feeling his heart pounding wildly from hyperventilation.

‘This is the taste that everyone comes to see idols for… .’

It was really thrilling to see in real life an idol I had only seen in the media.

It’s like seeing your favorite cartoon or anime character in real life.

“Ha Ye-rin-!!! Ha Ye-rin-!!!”

Having come to his senses, he shouted at Ha Ye-rin on stage… and pledged greater loyalty to her.

**

The Sanok time is 5:00 AM.

Our day started at 1 a.m. because we had to finish all the preparations including costumes, hair, and makeup.

Even for someone like me who was confident in my physical strength, it was a forced march that was burdensome.

“Ahhh… , Huhhh… .”

Seo Yu-jin, who had particularly low stamina stats, was about to die.

There, all the other members also looked exhausted and struggling with the tough schedule… .

“Waaah-!!”

“… … !”

“Wow… , so early in the morning… . Everyone… .”

We were able to cheer ourselves up by seeing the fans gathered in large numbers since early in the morning.

I heard later that fans were already lining up at the broadcasting station before we even got up.

Among them, even… .

“Yes, Yerin is the best…!!”

‘Japanese…?’

There were also people who appeared to be foreigners.

Then, I waved to the foreign fan with a sincere heart of gratitude and went up on stage.

Because it was pre-recorded and not live, the stage was very spacious.

It felt like a solo concert because most of the fans in the audience were waving the pink cheering sticks that have been symbolizing our rookies since the early days.

-Don’t come near me for a moment.

-This is the distance between you and me

“Don’t come-!!”

As soon as Lee Hye-jeong sang the first verse, loud voices erupted from the audience.

At this I was momentarily confused, but soon I realized what it was.

‘Cheerleading.’

I saw the fans’ cheering style while watching other girl group music show videos in advance.

I thought it would be nice if our rookies had something like that too… .

It’s been so long since the release of that they’ve already created a cheering method.

I was so grateful for that fact that a genuine smile continued to spread across my face.

It seemed that today’s Heavenly Demon Illusion would be really effective.
