Is this really Lim Hyeonsu’s…?!?!

To him, Cheongbeom.

You pumped the beat full of money and made it this crazy?

“Kang Ichae is better? There’s no need to come to me now?”

This was nothing but deception, check, and exploitation.

“…Hoyun, why are you like that?”

“Phew, just pissed off for a moment…”

As I ground my teeth in anger, Seong Jiwon comforted me by patting my back.

Both Lim Hyeonsu and Joo Woosung… There was no need to worry or comfort them.

Right, who should I be worried about in this situation?

I pledged not to worry about others from now on.

I should be worried about myself. After all, I’m living alone in this harsh world.

This annoyed feeling continued until the award for the No.1 song came.

“Congratulations! The No.1 is Black Call!”

Boom, the fireworks exploded.

Considering how well the song and concept had been received, the Noeul members who had anticipated this tried hard to manage their expressions. Even though I couldn’t compete with Black Call, I (barely) smiled at the Noeul members and greeted the other singers around me.

“…”

As Joo Woosung was next to me, I bowed to him too… but it seemed odd.

In one hand, Joo Woosung held a large trophy, wearing an odd expression as he looked at his fans, who he must have seen so many times.

“Congratulations.”

“…Ah.”

Upon hearing my words, Joo Woosung seemed to come to his senses, blinking his eyes in surprise. Then he smiled.

As if it was his first time winning No.1, this Joo Woosung of Black Call acted unusually.

“…Thank you.”

Joo Woosung lightly patted my shoulder and shifted his gaze to other idols greeting him.

What’s this?

Normally, Joo Woosung was a bit of a pushover, but now, as a top idol, he took care of his image in front of the camera, so I couldn’t see his earlier expression again. I glanced at him and turned away.

It wasn’t my business.

“Good work everyone!”

The Dawn members, while cracking their necks, and the other groups quickly left for Black Call’s encore stage.

“You worked hard. We have a music show scheduled tomorrow too, so let’s rest a bit today.”

“No!”

Suddenly, Jeong Dajun, who had been lost in thought, raised his head.

“Let’s practice.”

“Huh?”

At Jeong Dajun’s bombshell, everyone stopped in surprise and turned to look at him.

“Dajun, no. You only slept three hours yesterday.”

“I don’t want to, but I still want to do a little more…”

Jeong Dajun uttered those words as he stubbornly bit his lower lip. Kim Seonghyeon, arms crossed, seemed to be debating whether he should be proud of Dajun or dissuade him from his stubbornness. Just then, Kang Ichae intervened.
