Producer Who Gets Eaten After 100 Days

Leap (5)

“producer!”

As soon as I got out of the gate, Hyo-Min Choi, who rushed to me, asked my opinion with a face full of anticipation.

“How was I? Well done?”

To be precise, it felt like a compliment rather than an appreciation.

“Well done.”

Compliments make even whales dance, so there’s no need to spare compliments to someone who does a good job.

“I think the power ranking will also go up a bit this time? I’ve been struggling all this time.”

“what… . Is that all? Do some more!”

Choi Hyo-min has been asking for more praise by leaning towards me, not paying attention to the eyes looking at him… .

I was a little burdened by those gazes, so I pushed her away and promised later.

“I’ll do it later, so please come and change some clothes.”

“really? Really?”

“yes. I will praise you and give you praise from Inna and Minju.”

“Are you kidding me now!?”

“Huh? You two didn’t have a hard time right now, are you?”

“No, not that… !”

‘Whenever the world is acting without cheap things… . You’ve just become cute.’

How long has it been since I was arguing with her, harboring a new appreciation for Choi Hyo-min’s behavior that has changed in three weeks?

hum hum… hum hum…

Suddenly, a small commotion was heard from the side where the team members and staff had gathered.

‘What’s going on?’

at that time.

ur… …

The crowd suddenly split left and right, and a woman appeared from the gap.

“!”

I was taken aback by her unexpected appearance.

The woman she once loved more than anyone else, with her black hair tied up and a cold look.

It was Seol Joo-hee.

“what?”

“Why is he… .”

She was wearing a combat uniform, as if she had just disassembled her equipment… .

Perhaps he had not been in a good mood, and he was walking on the dirt floor with his white bare feet.

Apparently, after hearing the information that I was here, he came to me in a hurry.

“… … .”

She slowly approached me, drawing everyone’s attention, and glanced at Choi Hyo-min, who was standing next to her.

Then, as if it was all right, he looked into my eyes again and spoke softly.

“This subjugation… . Did you really do it?”

Her voice and her eyes trembled faintly.

I couldn’t find a bit of her usual dignity in the way she asked questions.

It felt like it was going to collapse at any moment, and it felt so close.

“under! Did you know that now?!”

At that time, Hyo-Min Choi stopped in front of me and started to face Joo-Hee Seol with her arms crossed.

“How does it feel to be beaten by a producer who threw it away with your own hands?!”

“… Hyomin.”

I put my hand on Choi Hyo-min’s shoulder to dry her.

At that moment, Seol Joo-hee flinched and looked at my hand.

“Do not dry it!”

Choi Hyo-min, as if he had endured it all this time, began to sarcastic, raising his muddy emotions.

“Isn’t it pretty okay to be dragged down from first place? I know because I’ve been through it, but it’s going to be a lot of shit for a while. What… If you do, will you quit your celebrity life and run through the gate again?”

“Mr. Hyomin. Because now… .”

“No, no!”

As if he didn’t even want to listen to me, Choi Hyo-min forced Seol Joo-hee, who was staring at me blankly, to make eye contact and slapped him.

“I recognized the ignorant and strong bitch when she didn’t know the subject and acted like she didn’t. You thought you’d be number one forever, didn’t you? huh? Did you know that you would reign on top of your head forever, claiming to be a queen for the rest of your life?”

“… … .”

“A bad year.”

Choi Hyo-min, who spit at his feet with a sigh, glared at Seol Joo-hee with a vicious gaze.

Following her blurred gaze, she glanced at me… .

“Ugh… .”

He shed a strangely sinister laugh, then gently placed his hand around my waist and began to sarcastically in a voice that was disgusting in the world.

“What… . Thanks anyway. Thank you for leaving such a great producer.”

Awk-

Then he pulled my waist tight and hugged me tightly, looking at Seol Joo-hee, who still had a blank expression on her face, and whispered.

“Are your producers sick?”

That moment.

tremble-

Seol Joo-hee’s face twitched.

“Stop it!”

I hurriedly removed Choi Hyo-min, who was regretful in my heart, as I looked at Seol Joo-hee, who was gradually losing focus, and spoke firmly.

“… I think you came to hear my story, right. I was asked to help, so I participated in this subjugation.”

“… … .”

“If you are dissatisfied with my participation, we will talk later and leave for today. … Your teammates will be looking for you too.

Seol Joo-hee didn’t say anything even after hearing the bells and whistles.

Just staring at me with strangely cloudy eyes,

Suck-

I just turned around and slowly went back the way I came.

Tub… Tub…

Seol Joo-hee, who disappeared among the crowd, looked very small, unlike usual.

Somehow I don’t know… .

He looked very lonely.

*

That evening.

“For the Black Rose!”

“”for!””

I, who attended the Black Rose 1st place commemorative after-party, was caught between Lee Hye-ri and Choi Hyo-min and was being attacked by alcohol.

“ruler. Should I have another drink?”

“I won’t drink anymore.”

“Then drink some water.”

“… Isn’t this alcohol?”

“Aren’t you drunk yet?”

“Did you eat less?”

“These people are really… .”

The team members who have supported and cheered for Black Rose were very happy with the first place they had regained after a few years.

In particular, I was most satisfied with winning the first place on my own by defeating the high-spirited Queens… .

‘Is Arin okay? .’

Actually I didn’t.

Now, anyway, the Queens are a team I made.

It was nice to win an overwhelming victory and give the Cheonhwa Guild one shot, but it wasn’t vaguely good either.

That’s right, the word ‘fresh’ was accurate.

“I’ll take care of you today, so don’t worry and drink.”

“what? Why is the manager taking the producer to me?”

“Are you friends?”

Leaving behind Hyeri Lee and Hyomin Choi’s conversation, I fiddled with the cell phone in my arms, quietly got up and spoke to me.

“I will get up first.”

“yes… ? suddenly?”

“What’s going on?”

“I’m just a little tired.”

Then the two of them tried to look out for me as if they were waiting… .

“it’s okay. I’ll go back alone. Come play slowly.”

I declined the invitation of the two of them and quietly left the meeting.

“after… .”

The refreshing night air passes through the tip of your nose, which has been dulled by alcohol.

Avoiding the glittering streets, raising my head and looking at the black sky, I exhaled a breath full of alcohol and pulled out my phone.

[ Arin: Ah, I have to go in now, so I don’t think I can see it… . But this time… … ]

Arin Lim’s last message caught my eye.

Read at readwn.com

Maybe Seol Joo-hee knew about me, so surely Lim A-rin would have known too.

But Arin Lim didn’t even send me any contact.

Was it even a disappointment to me for not paying attention?

Or, am I not able to get out of the shock of defeat?

Or is it that he is drinking a glass of alcohol to shake off his sorrows?

Neither was comfortable.

full-

I stopped and sat down with the drunken people on the side of the road, making fun of my fingers and sending a message to Arin Lim with the excuse of drunkenness.

[ Me: What are you doing? ]

OK.

A few seconds later, a ‘read’ mark appeared next to the message.

It means that Arin Lim confirmed the message.

gulp-

Instead of street music, a heartbeat ringing in my ears.

Are you still thinking about replying?

Or maybe it’s because my phone is weird and I’m getting late calls.

How many minutes had passed since I was drunk and worried, waiting for a reply from my heart.

Finally got a reply from her.

[ Arin: Wait for you ]

“… !”

Arin Lim’s message was short and thick.

The impact was so strong that I could feel my face heating up.

Knock-knock

Swallowing dry saliva and looking around for nothing, I took a deep breath and calmly sent a message again.

[ Me: Where are you now? ]

[ Me : I will go there ]

OK… .

[ Arin: Come to my house ]

As if Arin Lim had been waiting, he called me home.

By the way… .

It was, after all, a house.

‘this… . Can I go?’

I said that I was going with curiosity, but the thought of going to Lim Arin’s house made me hesitate a bit.

It was clear that if I went into her house like this, I would be sick for four months.

“… … .”

How long has it been since you wrapped your hair like that and thought about it?

Arin Lim, who had been pulling me hard all the time, gently added a word.

[ Arin: You don’t have to come if you don’t like it ]

Are you looking into my eyes?

Are you thinking of my heart?

Or is it both?

‘I do not know… !’

Biting the tip of my lip for nothing in my nervousness, I quickly got up after sending a reply with my eyes closed.

[ Me : I’ll be there soon ]

Then, I went straight to the main road, got a taxi, and headed to Lim Arin’s house, which is clearly visible in my memory.

‘Is this right… ?’

It was around the time when I was endlessly questioning my own choices while looking out the window at the passing night streets.

Woo-Woo-Woo-Woah-

Suddenly, the cell phone I had in my pocket started to ring.

“!”

I hurriedly took out my phone and checked the person… .

[ Seoul City Hall Jinseowon ]

“Why is he… .”

I checked Jin Seo-won’s name out of the blue, and I answered the phone with a bit of reassurance for some reason.

“hello?”

[ where are you? ]

The calm voice of Jinseowon heard through the speaker.

Slightly relaxed by that strange stability, I buried my body deep in the seat and wrapped it around me moderately.

“After dinner is over, let’s stop by for a moment.”

OK.

[Uh, where are you going? . ]

Through the speaker, Hanna Bang’s faint voice could be heard.

It looks like they were calling together.

[Where are you going? ]

“… Wait, at my friend’s house.”

Im Arin and I are still friends.

So, it wasn’t a lie.

“Are you with Hannah?”

[ uh… . no? ]

Did Hanna Bang say something?

I burst into a small laugh at the obvious lie, pretending not to know, and asked what I was doing.

OK.

[ uh… . 1st place celebration party? to do it ]

Somehow, I came up with a strange offer.

There is no way Jin Seo-won would have spoken… .

It was probably Hanna Bang’s idea.

“What do we do? I have something important to do, so I won’t be able to do it today.”

[What’s going on? ]

Jin Seo-won persistently asks, as if he has received an instruction.

I turned around and avoided answering.

“Just for work.”

[ uh… . Then do it next time. ]

As soon as the incident was raised, Jinseowon quickly lowered her tail and promised the next.

I greeted them with a smile at the obvious behavior of the two.

“Yeah, don’t go to bed too late. Please tell Hannah good night too.”

[ yes. ]

Then I heard a small commotion over the speaker, but I quietly hung up the phone with a smirk as if I didn’t know anything.

“Guests, everyone is here.”

Arrin Lim’s house arrived just in time.

After paying the taxi fare and getting off, I took a step forward, relying on my slightly drunken spirit.

After looking at the mirror installed in the elevator and lightly touching the clothes,

“Whew… .”

Arriving at Lim Arin’s house, he took a deep breath and reached out towards the doorbell.

Ding-dong
