Chapter 343

Gold 2, Kwon HeeSeung.

The activities of "Spacer," the group this guy belongs to, are being tracked.

Of course, since this is a new member affiliated with the same agency, I should always check if he does or happens to do anything unusual.

Besides, isn't he someone who knows a little about the future anyway? What benefit could I be seeing in him?

Obviously that's not the reason this guy would keep an eye on him.

'It's because he's useless labor.'

I remembered running into him a few months ago at work, when he was preparing for the first end-of-year awards ceremony.

"Good afternoon, sunbae-nim!"

To be exact, I remember his status window.

By that time it should no longer have status abnormality, but it still did.

However, the content was different.

[Status abnormality: Make it work].

If you are an idol, isn't teamwork the answer?

→ If the group fails to launch collaborative work, it will fail.

Instead of the previous one, a new status abnormality took its place.

"After Chae SeoDam resigned on his own, the atmosphere of the team became really good! If we keep going like this, I will complete my mission... .....? Did I make it yet?"

"Uuuuugh! Is there another one? What else do I have to do? What??"

In short, he already eliminated the first status anomaly, but the second one appeared.

Seeing that this guy has his second status abnormality, it seems that the system must have judged that 11 months is close to a year.

'...Have conditions become harsh?'

I'm not sure about that, so I'll put it aside.

Anyway, it wasn't a bad situation for me to have that guy keep his status abnormality, as then I wouldn't have to find a new user who is linked to the system. This saves me time.

In his anomaly, "collaborative work" means "own production."

We are in the same agency, if I get involved a little bit, it will be easy to clear that abnormality within a year, so it was perfect for me to monitor them. Thanks to that, I think I've been in contact from time to time and have had a good look at their movements.

...Or so I thought until the bastard VTIC leader in front of me transferred a sound file to me.

"What's up? You need to check it out."

"....."

If it wasn't for his dog, I would have muzzled his mouth by now, but let's move on.

I looked at the audio file of the radio program where Gold 2 appeared again.

'That radio show.'

If it's Mirae's Midday Radio, I remember that too. It's a fairly traditional show that even we have been on when we were a rookie group.

It's hosted by a female announcer with the stage name "Mirae," and the parody of the future became famous for guessing the situation 10 years later as a pun.

TL/N: The name of the program in hangul is "미래의 한낮 라디오", and "미래" (Mirae) means "future". The inspiration for the game comes from the announcer's stage name and the program.

"Kim RaeBin gave me 100 songs!"

"Cha YooJin, no matter how many years have passed, it's hard to give 100 songs to the same person?"

"You gave me 200!"

"I can't!"

"Boys...No, calm down, 30 year old men."

I briefly recalled the crazy skit Kim RaeBin and Cha YooJin did.

Then I looked at my phone screen with a suspicious look.

'It won't be that...'

I played the file with the volume as low as possible.

I heard the presenter's voice.

[-...It has become a hot topic because of his special friendships. There are rumors that Kwon HeSeung-ssi's friendship with CheongRyu-nim of VTIC and Park MoonDae-nim of TeSTAR is still strong].

Damn it.

[-Recently, did you go on a trip to celebrate your 10th friendship anniversary? How did you become friends?]

[-Yes...We all know the future, so we became close.]

[-What?]

[-...! We all know Mirae's Midday Radio~ And we know the host, Mirae-nim, we became friends because of those things in common!]

[-Aha~ 10 years ago, HeeSeung-ssi must have been very impressed by her first appearance on the radio.]

[-T-that's right! Hahaha!]

"....."

It seems like he said it casually while trying to do the parody sketch of the program, where he quickly matched the name of the announcer to make the rhyme.

And after he said it, he must have thought "Oh, come to think of it, it's true," that's why he flinched.

'But this bastard isn't nervous...'

He must be more upset that he lumped us together as "sunbae-nims he's close to" in that interview.

I held back a sigh.

'...It's no big deal.'

It's a common mistake you make if you're in a state where you barely sleep due to the crazy rookie idol schedule.

Kwon HeeSeung's fans probably cursed and buried him for the question about his friendship with other groups even though it was his first radio show.

But I understand why CheongRyu told me this.

I grabbed my phone.

'Is it a warning?'

It's good advice.

On the dangers of sharing our secrets with other bastards.

"I think this needs to be addressed. I could do it myself, but...I don't think my hoobae-nim would like it very much."

The guy smiled.

"I don't think he's the type of person we're associated with, hmm? I thought it would be nice if you told him that. What do you think?"

"....."

"Originally, socializing with people was complicated for me."

That doesn't just mean Gold 2.

It must have included the fact that I confided a secret to the guy next to me.

"Park MoonDae."

Right on cue, Keun SeJin muttered under his breath with a stiff expression, as if he had guessed what was going on.

"He...Kwon HeeSeung is also involved?"

"Hmm?"

But the answer was from someone else, not me.

It was from CheongRyu.

He looked at me with a slightly puzzled face, then looked alternately at SeJin and nodded as if he understood.

"Oh, you don't know. I'm sorry."

"....."

"I thought he told you everything because you said he talked about me a lot. To what part did he tell you?"

And he turned his face away with a slightly admiring expression.

"You keep your boundaries well, hoobae-nim."

This bastard really...

I refrained from cursing and calmly replied.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier if you were worried that my actions would cross the line and ruin you?"

I think Keun SeJin will feel unsatisfied that I only gave you an unrealistic explanation after being beaten by this damn situation.

However, CheongRyu just tilted his head to the side.

"Hmm...There seems to be a misunderstanding."

Misunderstanding?

"Sunbae-nim. I'm not lost in the course of this conversation."

"...!"

"There are more than one or two good explanations to use when you're stuck in a conversation."

CheongRyu smiled brightly.

"I've checked all the words and expressions that work. It's hard to get hit by someone else's mistake now."

"....."

"I'm sure you've never experienced anything like this before and never imagined it. But you're smart."

I stared at him.

"You told someone else about it, too."

"Of course. I wondered if I could use it, but when I tried it, it didn't work, so I didn't do it again because it was useless."

CheongRyu looked into the air for a moment, perhaps lost in memory for a moment, but soon regained focus.

"So I said this because I was worried about my hoobae-nim, not me. I told you, I was preparing something as an apology."

Fuck...

I pressed my forehead.

What infuriates me the most is that...he seems to be sincere.

"All right, then listen. First of all...I'll take care of Gold 2."

I closed my mouth and looked at Keun SeJin, who was listening to the conversation, and said.

"And you don't have to worry about him. He's not the kind of person who would talk about this kind of thing."

"Obviously."

Keun SeJin raised his fist.

'Do I really have to do this in this situation?'

Even so, if I didn't answer him, it would look ridiculous.

I raised my fist and clashed it with his.

But CheongRyu's face looked disinterested.

"Yes. Well...You said you would believe what my hoobae-nim said. It's usually like that."

What?

"But it seems like there's been a misunderstanding here too...'Believe' doesn't mean 'Understand.'"

"...!"

CheongRyu muttered without hesitation as if he was interpreting someone else's words.

"Since you are friends, since you have known each other for a long time, since you are in the same group...there are many reasons why he can say he "believes" in you. Well, you deserve it. If you said you're a psycho and he doesn't want to believe it, he won't."

"....."

"But that's it. After that, he won't be very cooperative anymore, so...I got rid of that. Rather, it gets annoying."

The guy continued to talk quietly.

"Unless you have had the same experience, you will not be able to understand this surreal situation. So, hoobae-nim, don't expect too much."

"....."

'Is that why?'

I guess that's why you act as if you don't feel human solidarity even with your members, with whom you've been together for so long.

'It feels...like you're dealing with a different species.'

That's a bit of a creepy judgment. Even more so because he's saying that even though Keun SeJin is standing in front of him.

"Hmm."

I folded my arms and opened my mouth.

At that instant.

I heard a bright voice at my side.

"But sunbae-nim, I am very~ cooperative with MoonDae."

"...!"

It's Keun SeJin. What's wrong with this guy?

"Aha, really?"

"Of course. Eeei~ How can people grow up having the same experience? We are friends. It's good for friends to have similarities and differences~"

"If you say so."

"Yes, even if you don't agree with me, it's inevitable! Things are different for each person. It's really good~"

I'm surprised that he implicitly says "You may not know because you don't have friends" in this way.

The problem is that the opponent was CheongRyu, who was reflecting on old bitter memories.

'I hope you don't go crazy.'

I confirmed CheongRyu looked at Keun SeJin without any expression.

"....."

"....."

No, don't stare at me while smiling unnecessarily.

I held back a sigh and resolved the situation.

"Yes. Well...I'm sure everyone has their own thoughts. Anyway, I listened to the radio file, and about your dog...I hope he gets better."

"It's okay. If you have anything to talk about, contact me anytime. hoobae-nim."

"Yes~"

Keun SeJin naturally answered in my place.

Is he the right-hand man of some gangster boss?

'You're killing the atmosphere.'

Suddenly, the front door opened just then.

Ttiring.

Honestly, I was happy about that.

And the performer of this action...is Seon AhHyun, who looks a little nervous.

"E-excuse me...it's past the start of the camp...meeting."

"...!"

"Oh, I'm sorry. You were working."

CheongRyu smiled and bowed his head slightly.

"Then I'll go in."

"Yes."

"Y-yes!"

It's time to get this over with. Let's go in quickly.

However, instead of turning to leave, CheongRyu hesitated a bit and added a few words.

"I'll call you when Kongie comes back."

"Okay."

I nodded to the guy wearing a mask.

Still, I hope his dog is okay.

CheongRyu turned his back to me and disappeared into the elevator.

"Let's go inside."

"Yes."

We finally re-entered through the front door.

And SeJin took the initiative and seeing that AhHyun was also going to the living room, he whispered to me in a very low tone that they couldn't hear him.

"Waah, the words of that "great sunbae-nim" really bother me. Ooow, MoonDae MoonDae. How have you been putting up with it so far?"

"....."

I'm ashamed of myself because I was about to shout "That's right!"

"Somehow I did."

"Hmmm~ Okay. Park MoonDae, you also talked to him casually, did it help you relieve some stress?"

"....."

Come to think of it, it happened at some point.

I looked at the guy laughing and slapping me on the back, then opened my mouth.

Let's start with what caught his attention throughout the conversation.

"About the Kwon HeeSeung thing..."

"Ah~ I know, you couldn't say it because it's someone else's situation. I knew it when I heard you talking~"

According to the context, he must have already understood that Kwon HeeSeung was the next batter, and Keun SeJin didn't seem particularly unsatisfied about that.

"But since I know now, should I tell HeeSeung to control his mouth? I'm good at this kind of thing~"

"Let's take a look first."

I didn't want to lure it, but now I'm going to be able to easily destroy the system.

I sighed and went back to the living room.

"Did he leave already?"

"Yes. That's why we went in."

Keun SeJin shuddered.

"Oh~ He pretended to be very close to MoonDae~."

You're lying so naturally.

"...! Did you leave them alone?"

"No, we've been arguing until now."

"Okay. Next time I'll go, too....."

"You can't, hyung. If you do, it'll be a real fight!."

"HEY!"

I went to my seat and sat down, leaving the two people of the same name fighting comfortably.

Then AhHyun, who was sitting next to me, spoke to me.

"Mo-MoonDae-ya, maybe something happened...? It seems like you talked more than I thought...?"

"...Hmm."

I was briefly conflicted, but soon told him the truth.

"No big deal, it took longer because of the difference of opinions."

"Oh..."

AhHyun hesitated, but opened his mouth again with difficulty.

"About that, what was your opinion...?"

"....."

"N.no. Sorry...!"

It's nothing to be sorry about, but he still has a habit of apologizing first. I held back a sigh.

'...Is this the second time?'

This is the second time AhHyun asked me to tell him my opinion.

It's not that he caught me and asked if I have a secret, but it's awkward. I think this guy has an idea after hearing what Keun SeJin said.

I kept quiet instead of saying "No need to apologize at all, it was a bit personal." I thought those words would backfire for some reason.

'AhHyun's expression isn't bad right now, so I should observe the situation a bit more.'

It seemed like the situation was over.

But that afternoon.

Seon AhHyun's attitude to participate in the camp suddenly changed.

Was it a negative change? No.

He changed to an active attitude like never before.
