Become an Idol or Become Deceased! [fan translation] P.1

Chapter 182 (official illustration)

Asking for Seon Ahyun's cooperation for the stage was a tried-and-true method.

This was the same guy, who was working hard to teach me during <IdolCo>'s rating evaluation when we were only acquaintances.

But the conversation went a little differently than I expected.

"N-no!"

"...?"

As soon as I explained the situation, Seon Ahyun changed his attitude.

'Did this guy's competitive spirit awaken?'

Even when he hesitated as I looked at him taken aback, he kept talking.

"I-it's dangerous to do that when you're injured..."

Ah, it was about that.

"It's okay. I don't mean to practice right away. I'll do it when I'm properly recovered."

Since I already had a clue about exercising, I was going to focus on planning out the idea and memorization, and then start practicing fully with about two weeks to go.

It wasn't like I was a character in a drama who was shot and was able to run around again in the next episode, so of course, I had already thought about taking care of myself.

However, despite adding this specific explanation, Seon Ahyun's complexion still looked bad.

"S-still, it might put more strain on your joints than you think... C-can't you not do it...?"

"Um..."

"Y-you already! You already sing really well, so even if you don't do that..."

He sure was on the verge of profusely sweating while telling me I was good.

'...He's sensitive about injuries.'

I thought it was only because he majored in dance but there was more than that.

"Hmm."

Anyway, it seemed difficult to get the answer out of him at this rate, so let's rephrase a little.

"Okay. I guess you're right."

"...! Re-really?"

"Yeah. I'll refrain from doing it for the sake of my body."

Seon Ahyun's complexion visibly brightened.

I stealthily added a comment after that.

"Then, I'll only use the equipment for a short time... That's right, just in case, can I ask you about safe postures?"

"Ye-yeah!"

Done.

Seon Ahyun nodded his head in agreement. I showed him a video on my smartphone.

"Here's the part where I lose strength..."

You could say I was using speech to deceive him.

Thinking about it, I just did what I was going to do at first but with his personality, I thought he would fall for the nuance of 'the opposite person is agreeing with it'.

I picked up a few practical tips from Seon Ahyun and even got him to promise to demonstrate them in the practice room.

"Thanks."

"N-no problem!"

And it wasn't until Seon Ahyun arrived at the huge practice room rented for the concert that he noticed something was amiss.

The company finally seemed to be moving quickly and had already rented the equipment.

"U-uh..."

Seon Ahyun's face was plastered with question marks, but it was already too late.
