♪ • Trashy PD Surviving As An Idol ★°•

Chapter 66

So, I also came out here with clenched teeth…

Jeong Dajun stood and clapped for a while before sitting back down. The idol, with a proud expression, checked their score and went backstage.

The next event was archery. However, there was a sudden commotion among the staff, and they began to move hastily.

“Huh? What’s going on?”

“Isn’t the next event archery?”

The announcer quickly checked a note handed over by the staff and managed not to panic, smiling naturally.

– “Next up, everyone, is e-sports!”

“Huh?”

Ah, it must be because of the time distribution….

While setting up for each sport, they constantly squeezed in e-sports preliminaries. However, it seemed that the actual playtime differed from the estimated time, so they moved e-sports forward, even if it meant pushing back archery.

As I turned around with a tsk, Kang Ichae, who was participating in the last semi-final match, chuckled.

“Ah… Is it my turn now?”

“…”

With an arrogant tilt of his head, Kang Ichae, who had been obsessed with a strange concept for days, smiled. He swept his hair back, then did a high-five with each member. Even the Black Call members sitting next to him got swept up in the atmosphere and did the high-five.

Such an unthreatening guy….

The e-sports team consisted of Seong Jiwon, Jeong Dajun, Kang Ichae, and one member each from Refined and Nightmare.

Joo Woosung, sipping some juice next to me, asked,

“Aren’t you participating?”

“I already failed when our team chose the candidates. What about you, Woosung?”

“I’m bad at games from the start. What about Seonghyeon?”

“…I thought I was good.”

“Ha, you won the gold medal in the 100m, so it’s fine.”

As Kim Seonghyeon spoke with a slightly disappointed tone, Joo Woosung patted his back and laughed heartily. At Kim Seonghyeon’s genuinely happy reaction to the simple compliment, the Black Call members also snickered.

The semi-final started with a member from Refined.

There wasn’t an interview or live broadcast for the previous e-sports rounds since they were only edited for short cuts.

The announcer, who had brought each team’s information, made a puzzled face.

– “Oh! What’s this about The Dawn team? It seems like The Dawn team is the main team, but what does ‘Nire’ mean at the end?”

– “It stands for Nightmare and Refined.[1] Only three members from The Dawn are participating, and the other two spots are filled by members from the other groups.”

Sensing that an interesting interview was about to take place, the announcer approached and asked for the reason.

– “Ichae, The Dawn has five members, so you could have participated just as a team. Why didn’t the other members participate?”

Kang Ichae, with one corner of his mouth raised as if he had been expecting the question, responded.

– “That’s because a member who contributes negatively isn’t a member….”
