Surviving The Idol Game - Chapter 319

Surviving the Idol Game (319)

The Crisis Precognition Orb does not predict a crisis unless it is a crisis that one is experiencing. Reflecting on the last time Wu Cheong-hee chewed on the blade that was stuck in her lunch box and was helpless and unable to understand anything, she made a decision.

If you notice that a member is injured, please report the information at your own risk as quickly as possible.

It was difficult to determine the time range before and after the crisis occurred when the system would recognize and notify that it was a crisis, but looking at the results, it was a successful decision.

In the dim dawn, I jumped out of bed.

* * *

Park Seo-hwan swears that he never intended to do something like this.

“Senior, what are you doing here?”

Park Seo-hwan was startled by the voice coming from behind him and dropped what he was holding. The fallen container rolled across the floor and landed at Han Min-hyuk’s feet.

Minhyuk Han picked up the container. It was a container made of soft material with an unidentified liquid inside.

“I don’t know why you came to visit our locker room when no one was supposed to be there, late at night after practice.”

Minhyuk Han naturally put the container in his bag. Then, Park Seo-hwan’s face, who was standing still, turned white. Minhyuk Han tilted his head.

“Why… .”

“That’s what you did back then, right?”

“… “At that time?”

“It hasn’t been that long, why are you pretending not to know?”

“I’m not pretending not to know, but I really don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Han Min-hyuk muttered after hearing those words. It’s more shameless than I thought.

“I guess I don’t have to say it in words to understand it… . “The person who touched our food is senior Park Seo-hwan.”

“What is that… . I don’t know on what basis you are saying that. “Is it such a sin to take a glass of water out of the refrigerator and drink it?”

Park Seo-hwan glanced sideways at the exit door, only to make eye contact with Han Min-hyuk, who was standing in front of him as if blocking the exit. Park Seo-hwan felt resentment rising.

What did I do wrong that I need to be criticized like this in front of this person?

I didn’t like Han Min-hyuk from the first time I saw him.

That’s natural. Wasn’t this the guy who suddenly appeared on this floor one day and got in my way as if he had won the lottery?

A person who becomes rich overnight is always frowned upon, and as if the world is turning upside down, everyone is busy creating an image for him by saying that he is good at managing things.

If you debut at an old age and see how you always treat younger seniors with respect, it’s nothing short of shameful. Isn’t there such a thing as shame?

Even if others say it’s okay, you probably don’t know that it’s not really okay.

In this version, the age at which a person can debut is set by an unwritten rule. 24 is already too late. Moreover, it is not a case where the trainee life was long. Nevertheless, he persists and pushes out others to take his place.

Even though he must have already read my disapproving look, I was even annoyed by his attitude of not caring at all.

I’ve succeeded to the point where I don’t have to worry about what other people think.

Park Seo-hwan spoke quickly.

“I wasn’t the only one who went to that office that day, and my current brother also used the same refrigerator. I heard he was organizing the refrigerator. He sat in front of it for a while and then left. Did you ask Hyeonjae this too? Is it okay to slander seniors at the company so carelessly? Can you take responsibility? And why is my water bottle… .”

“Ah, I think you’re misunderstanding, but I didn’t ask my current brother this. “I heard it.”

“… what? “What are you listening to?”

Park Seo-hwan felt ominous when he saw Han Min-hyuk, who said with a calm face that he did not doubt Jang Hyeon-jae. The fact that she ignored Jang Hyeon-jae and only asked me, does that mean she is convinced that I am the culprit?

“We are one year older than each other, and my current brother and I have overlapping filming times, so we often run into each other at the broadcasting station. Then we talked a few times… .”

Jang Hyeon-jae’s name that came out of Han Min-hyuk’s mouth felt too familiar, so Park Seo-hwan bit his lip without realizing it.

“Senior, I heard there’s been a lot of friction with the company these days? “I think he told me to get out of producing now.”

“… .”

“I heard that the company kept refusing to give me songs. It seems like the other members are in a lot of trouble because of that… .”

Park Seo-hwan, who almost cursed at the fire rising in the moment, stiffened his face.

Jang Hyeon-jae, you foul-mouthed bastard.

I didn’t understand why people were spreading information about the group’s situation to others. Moreover, isn’t Gravity the biggest obstacle to Black Jockey’s future?

“I don’t know why you’re saying that my conflict with the company is going to be a problem for them. “Are you saying it was wrong to try to protect the group’s identity that we’ve built so far?”

“… .”

“Not only is it not enough to be interested in the circumstances of other people’s groups, but it seems like you have a lot of free time. Or are you just arrogant?”

Park Seo-hwan was more serious about success than anyone else in Black Jockey. However, individual success was more important than the group’s success.

There was a time when I objectively thought that moving to KCOM was a good thing compared to my previous company where I couldn’t produce the right quality even though I wanted to do something because I didn’t have a lot of money, but I couldn’t agree with it if it meant taking away my role as the commander.

If I received a song from KCOM and became successful with that song, it was obvious that I, who had been responsible for the group’s title, would only end up looking funny. My efforts to stand out within a limited budget by trying to find the reason for the poor music performance so far will also be devalued.

Therefore, he put pressure on the company in his own way. If they’re going to treat me coldly like this, I’m considering leaving the group altogether.

Of course, I didn’t mean it sincerely. Park Seo-hwan also knew. Now I know that I won’t be able to cover my increased expenses if I live a normal life.

This is the repertoire I used every time something similar happened at my previous company, and it worked that time.

At my previous company, not only did we not have enough money to buy the song in the first place, but we were desperate for the money that Black Jockey would make.

Even though my grades were terrible, just being in college was a threat. The fact that I was considering other options made me a good hostage.

Park Seo-hwan thought that he would naturally quit KCOM like his previous company. It was obvious that if word spread that he had forced the member to withdraw due to differences of opinion, there would be a strong backlash from existing fans.

However, contrary to expectations, KCOM did not budge for several months.

Park Seo-hwan slowly realized. Unlike the previous company, Black Jockey’s status at KCOM was not that great, and even more so, his position was not as a member who had to be coaxed and brought in, but as a member who was a pain to carry around.

KCOM would not suffer much damage even if Black Jockey’s activities were postponed indefinitely, so it was possible to easily exclude at least one member who did not listen.

A place where the entire group could be abandoned if circumstances arise.

Park Seo-hwan was embarrassed and angry at the unexpected situation.

It would have been different if the group I belonged to was Gravity. What if there was at least The Beginning?

Two injured people like Byeong-X held me back, and Gravity, who was on a roll, erased my presence.

Park Seo-hwan laughed nervously and said.

“Or are you ignoring seniors and all because the group you belong to is successful? “That’s amazing. Do you think it’s because of you that Gravity is doing so well?”

“Stop it. “I don’t have the heart to accept your inferiority complex.”

Han Min-hyuk, who received a lot of sarcastic remarks, sighed as if he was tired.

“I guess the one who is free is senior. “So you must have come all the way here when there were no people around.”

Minhyuk Han patted his bag.

“I don’t know exactly what you wanted to do. Did they want to shake up the company, or did they just hate us? But either way, don’t you think the line has been crossed a bit too far?”

Park Seo-hwan chewed his half-tattered lips. If Hong Jin-sol had just done as he was told, things wouldn’t have gone this far.

At one point, he was impatient because he couldn’t worship the music I made, saying it was the best, and when he tried to use it, Hong Jin-sol set a condition so that Hong Jin-sol could not recklessly abandon him, not only to increase his work. A golden opportunity has come, so make a move yourself at least once. Otherwise, we will no longer cooperate.

If I had known that the offer was a trap, I would never have touched the lunch box with my hands.

Last night, when I was screaming at myself for failing again and again and only raising my guard, Jinsol Hong thrust a video in front of my eyes.

He filmed himself opening the lid of his lunch box in that office that day.

When I got mad at him, he whispered to me that we were both accomplices and not to think about escaping on our own.

If I get caught, you too are finished.

Park Seo-hwan felt unfair.

I just wanted to take care of my share of rights, and it was all because of Hong Jin-sol that things got so big, so why should I also be held responsible?

Only then did I realize that I had taken the wrong step, but I had already discovered my weakness to take my step back.

“Anyway, I’ll confiscate this. “You know why, since you also acted suspiciously.”

“no! “Give it to me!”

I brought the container wrapped in a handkerchief in case it left any fingerprints, but with things going on like this, do fingerprints really matter? Park Seo-hwan quickly stretched out his hand, but it was easily blocked by his obnoxiously long outstretched hand.

Nevertheless, Park Seo-hwan, who was running towards him, had half-closed eyes.

“Crossing the line? How can you tell me what you know? A subject who has never been miserable or made any sacrifices while ascending to that position! “What do you know!”

From school days to campus life. While other people were stuck in the basement enjoying everything they had to do while they were practicing, someone debuted and became a first-tier idol at an age when they had seen the bitter taste of life and were even hearing about retirement?

There was no way I could tolerate it.

“Don’t preach like you’re great when you survive by sticking straws in your cousin!”

When I pushed hard with my shoulder, the body that hit me stumbled.

Han Min-hyuk lost his composure and quickly looked back. The edge of the table is getting closer quickly.

The moment I reflexively closed my eyes.

* * *

When I opened my eyes again, I was in front of the locker room door.

“what?”

Minhyuk Han rolled his eyes downward. He could see himself standing on his own two legs.

I stood there blankly for a moment, thinking I had forgotten something, when I heard a familiar voice from behind me.

“Minhyuk hyung, what are you doing quietly in front of the door?”

“Uh, Hanhee.”

Han Min-hyuk searched for memories. Well, what did he come here to do?

“Ah, I left my earphones behind earlier and came to retrieve them~. “Hanhee, what about you?”

“I forgot something too.”

“okay? But did you even jump? “There’s sweat on my forehead.”

“ah… It’s no big deal. “Brother, where did you leave your earphones?”

“Maybe on the table?”

“I’ll get it for you, so would you like to come down first?”

“Why?”

Lee Han-hee, who came to the door and grabbed the door handle, nodded.

“yes. “I’ve been thirsty since earlier, so please give me a drink downstairs.”

I thought I could just stop by the locker room and go downstairs to get a drink, but Minhyuk Han obediently backed away. This is because he wondered if there was some reason why they couldn’t go in together or talk about it.

“OK got it. “It’s probably somewhere you can see it, but if you can’t find it, call me~”

“yes.”

And 10 minutes later, Han Min-hyuk regretted it too late.

Whatever you said, we should have gone in together.
