[Idol One Mind Sports Festival] Conference room.

“Hmm… … .”

[Idol One Heart Sports Festival] was an ambitious program prepared by Nnet to beat out the terrestrial program [Ah-yuk-ol].

That’s why PD Park, the main PD of [Idol One Heart Sports Festival], had to think about how to make the program a hit.

He then threw out a topic to the junior production staff gathered in the conference room.

“Okay, the corner configuration is roughly finished… , how can we make the program more interesting? Everyone, please share your ideas.”

“… … .”

The production crew was silent at PD Park’s words.

I was flustered by the sudden question, and more than anything, the atmosphere at Nnet’s entertainment department has been so tense these days that it’s been hard to come up with ideas rashly.

There was only one reason why Nnet’s entertainment department was so shaky.

Immediately after the expulsion of the new PD.

Although there were many rumors about the new PD because of his malicious way of hosting programs, he was a true star PD of Nnet and a pillar of the entertainment department.

There is no employee in Nnet’s entertainment department who has not been influenced by the new PD.

[Idol One Heart Sports Festival]’s main PD, PD Park, was once part of the new PD division, and most of the writers here have worked with PD Shin.

Everyone here… was already accustomed to the new PD’s provocative way of running the program.

However, the new PD left the broadcasting station due to being embroiled in a scandal involving malicious editing and trainee tampering with MS Planning.

Even the core members of the Shin PD division who were most closely connected to the new PD were demoted or disciplined.

Coming up with provocative ideas in this kind of ominous atmosphere is… extremely difficult.

“Hmm… .”

PD Park also felt this atmosphere and thought about it deeply… When no ideas came from the other juniors, he was the first to speak.

“Love line.”

“… … Yes?”

“How about making a love line? I’m sure there will be a lot of viewers who like it.”

“PD… .”

The writers looked at the word love line with concern.

That makes sense… .

“That’s the way it was when PD Shin Ji-cheon was in office… .”

This was because the love line was something that PD Shin often used in programs where male and female idols appeared together.

PD Shin preferred to force love lines between male and female idols, start fights between fandoms, and use this to increase the program’s popularity.

Of course, it was effective in increasing the topicality, but… it was too provocative.

PD Park, who was stung by this, got angry and shouted at his juniors.

“Ah, who would do something like that gentleman? Less provocatively! Just do it gently!”

“… … .”

“I know why you’re being so picky… Everyone, come to your senses. Did you hear that Senior Shin is leaving and they’re hiring a lot of outsiders this time? If we don’t produce results, we could be replaced too!”

But this was also an opportunity.

The new PD who had been ruling the broadcasting station from above like concrete left, and the place became an empty space.

If we take this opportunity to delve into that empty space and infiltrate it, it may not be just a dream to look towards a higher position.

“After…, if you all understand, choose some people from the list of cast members who could create a love line.”

“… … Yes.”

In the end, if your superior tells you to do something, you have to do it.

The production team thought this was not right, but they had no choice but to follow PD Park’s request.

In such a short period of time, a list of love lines has been compiled.

PD Park, who saw the name at the top… .

“Ha Ye-rin… ?”

I flinched for a moment.

In fact, the biggest reason why PD Shin flew away this time was because of Ha Ye-rin.

“I’m a little worried about this kid… He has a lot of fans. I wonder if I’ll mess with him for no reason and it’ll turn out badly, right?”

“That’s true, but… I included it because I think it will definitely be a hot topic.”

“Um… .”

PD Park stared at the name Ha Ye-rin for a long time, then sighed and asked.

“Whew… Okay. But Ha Ye-rin is totally top-tier right now. She has to be on the same level as her opponent… Who should I choose as my opponent?”

“The opponent is…, here.”

PD Park flinched again when he saw the name his junior had mentioned.

“Black Night’s…, Shin Si-woo? Wow…, it’s tough here too.”

One side is from a popular idol audition program with huge viewer ratings… and the other side is from a top boy group from one of the three major entertainment agencies.

When PD Park saw it…, the two’s levels were right.

Since both sides have significant fandoms, it seemed like they could become a hot topic if used well.

After some thought, he said to the writers:

“… Okay. Then let’s go with these two. But you know? You mustn’t give the impression that we are pushing these two. We just happened to find their signals and broadcasted it. Everyone, keep that in mind. ”

“Yes… !”

“Then let’s wrap up today’s meeting here… Let’s make a cool program.”

So a week after the meeting ended.

PD Park received a request from NAS Director Jeong, who is in charge of managing Rookies, to prevent Black Bomb’s Shin Si-woo from approaching Ha Ye-rin.

This was the first time he had been asked to keep such a specific person away, so PD Park could guess that there was some kind of problem between the two… .

“Of course, sir. I will do that.”

PD Park only said that… he didn’t withdraw his original plan.

**

[Blue Team]

[Rookies ‘Ha Ye-rin’, Black Bomb ‘Shin Si-woo’ … … .]

The camera is already rolling.

“Wow! Sister! We’re on the same team!”

“Awesome! Let’s do our best!”

While the other contestants showed joyful reactions in front of the camera while looking at the team list… our Rookies couldn’t do that.

It was because Black Bomb Shin Si-woo was on the same team as me.

Then, our rookies frowned for a moment while looking at the list, then forced a smile and whispered secretly together.

“It’ll be okay, what’s wrong?”

“Unless that guy is crazy, he wouldn’t be able to do something weird with so many cameras around.”

“Me, Yoojung, Hanna, and Baek Team, and Hyejung unnie, Yoojin, and Yerin are on the same team, so please keep a close eye on that person so that he doesn’t do anything weird.”

“Yeah!”

“Yes!”

So the members made determined expressions as they thought about how to protect me from Shin Si-woo.

Seeing those members makes me laugh, but at the same time… .

‘So what could go wrong?’

My worries about Shin Si-woo have diminished.

And then… .

“There are prizes for each category! Let’s all watch together!”

“Wow!”

The MC of the sports competition announced the prizes for each event.

Products that will make your eyes pop out just by looking at them, such as refrigerators, TVs, and Korean beef sets.

Plus, if you add up your scores and beat the opposing team, you’ll get a bigger prize.

hereto….

‘Wow… How much is that…?’

I showed my burning passion in [Idol One Heart Sports Festival], where I appeared lightly.

I feel a bit awkward saying this myself, but I have some confidence in using my body.

This sports competition… . I participated actively and won prizes… .

It seemed like it would be a more enjoyable day than I expected.

But I changed my mind from the first event I competed in.

**

[Idol One Heart Sports Festival] is a program in which both male and female idols appear.

Of course, it is divided into men’s and women’s events, but… .

There was also a mixed event with both men and women participating.

[Matchball]

This event, which I competed in for the first time, was also a mixed event.

A game of dodgeball where a man and a woman team up and if the woman gets hit by the ball, she is out, and the man has to guard the woman so that she does not get out.

If there is a problem… .

“Yerin. Long time no see?”

“… … .”

The fact that my partner happened to be Shin Si-woo.

As soon as I found out that my partner was Shin Si-woo, I didn’t want to participate… but since the list was already made by the production team, I couldn’t refuse.

So I had no choice but to go inside the court with Shin Si-woo.

Beep!

And so the match between the blue team and the white team began.

All the female contestants hid behind the male contestants’ backs to avoid the ball.

Of course, I didn’t stick to Shin Si-woo’s back.

The ball wasn’t that fast, so I planned to dodge the ball by myself without Shin Si-woo’s help.

however….

Kwak.

“What the…!”

Han Si-woo grabbed my sleeve and forcibly pushed it behind his back.

At this, I panicked and tried to push him away… .

“Wake up. Don’t you care about the camera?”

“… … !”

I couldn’t help but pause at Shin Si-woo’s whisper.

And I immediately checked the camera positions.

If there’s one thing I’ve mastered over the years, it’s how to thoroughly understand the movements of the cameras and production crew.

While other cameras zoom out to capture the entire court… .

Jiying-.

There is only one camera that follows me and Shin Si-woo.

‘no way….’

I felt it from the time of the list, but did the production team want to capture me and Shin Si-woo’s good relationship?

Somehow, it seems like the eyes of the main PD looking far away are only following me and Shin Si-woo.

If you show any signs of discomfort here, you might get into trouble when the camera is turned on.

But if we stick to Shin Si-woo’s back and play dodgeball…

‘Unpleasant.’

It was not easy to predict what this guy would do.

So I have no choice….

Tea.

“Hey! Shin Si-woo & Ha Ye-rin are out!”

“Waaa-!”

“Gyaaa-!”

He was deliberately hit by the ball and went out.

So I went out to the outline with a regretful expression, and Shin Si-woo came up to me and said.

“That’s too bad. But I don’t think the production team will separate us so easily. What do you think?”

“… … .”

“Relax. We’re working right now. If you get caught on camera, it’ll be bad for all of Rookies, right? Hehe.”

Shin Si-woo, who said that, was really angry… but his words weren’t wrong.

If I show a bad side of myself here, I might get criticized by the Black Bomb fandom… .

‘No… Even if we show that we’re on good terms, I think we’ll get cursed at by Black Bomb fans… .’

So, feeling a bit lost, I went back under the tent where the members were.

I felt Shin Si-woo’s sticky gaze scanning my back.

**

As soon as I got back, the Rookies members started talking one by one.

“Didn’t Director Jeong tell you? Why did you and that kid play together? ”

“Director Jeong wouldn’t have said anything. It was just Nnet PD doing Nnet PD things.”

“Sister! What did that kid say? What did he say?”

“That’s… .”

I told the members that Shin Si-woo was threatening me by bringing up the camera.

And the members who heard this….

“No, that crazy guy!”

Of course I was indignant.

The members came closer to me with angry faces and whispered to me, fearing that if they made a loud noise they might attract the attention of the camera.

“Sister! Just go for it! Don’t worry about the camera!”

“That kind of kid needs to be punished once!”

… I want to do that too, but I hesitate because I think the group might be harmed by my actions.

At this, I didn’t respond properly to the members’ words and just sighed.

That was when.

“If that continues, Yerin might get cursed at by people instead.”

Yoo Seol, who had been quietly listening to my story, opened her eyes and opened her mouth.

At her words, the members’ eyes turned to her.

“Then what? What if that kid does something weird… .”

“We just have to use a method that doesn’t hurt us and only gives the other person a hard time.”

“Is there such a way?”

Yoo Seol smiled and answered my question.

“You’re actually using the camera for the opposite purpose.”

Reverse camera use?

As the members, including me, tilted our heads at the ambiguous words, Yoo Seol called us over and told us the plan.

In the eyes of Yoo Seol, who was explaining the plan to us… it seemed as if there was a murderous intent to definitely capture Shin Si-woo this time.
