100 – Finally after 7 years.

“Yes, yes. Oh, no. It’s really okay. I have no intention of leaving the program. It’s a pity that Jinhyeok oppa saved me today, because I almost got into trouble. Yes? You’re coming to pick me up tomorrow?! Yes I’m not burdened at all, it’s okay! Rather, it’s so good… Uhm. Yes That, then that…… I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Tip.
“·······.”
On that night of many twists and turns, Nauri, who finished the phone call with Kang Jin-hyeok, looked at the ceiling with a hazy face.
“I’m coming to pick you up…”
As a manager, it is natural for Kang Jin-hyuk to take care of a precious trainee who can never be replaced by someone else, but it was not a natural thing for Nauri.
She was so charming that even if placed among the trainees in charge of Kang Jin-hyeok, who miraculously gathered only the best gemstones.
However, the agency had not been able to support her until now, so Nauri, who had no support, had no choice but to be treated like ordinary trainees.
So, the image of Kang Jin-hyeok, who ran straight to the word asking for him to come without any explanation before and after, and said that he would come to pick him up even though it was not too far away, was very unfamiliar to Nauri.
“To pick one up for me. To our house. Hee hee.”
Feeling a stir in his heart that he had never felt in his entire life, Nauri laughed without knowing why he was laughing.
“······No, why did you look so happy when you said you weren’t able to do the revival match you were expecting so much?”
“Leave it alone. If it’s good, it’s good. Well, when I saw him in the kitchen, it seemed that the young man called the manager was really good at it. He came to me in a month even at that late hour when I asked him to come.”
“Is that so? Well, everyone who came to the store today seemed like a nice person. I was very worried because I was changing agencies in one day. Thank god.”
“Ehehehehe.”
Nauri was excited at the thought of meeting Kang Jin-hyeok tomorrow, not knowing that her parents were secretly watching.

For some reason, we arrived at Bareungil Enter with us who had been peeking at me from the sidelines since I brought them from home.
“······This is the right way to enter.”
It wasn’t until we arrived that we took our eyes off of me, and I wonder if the cheek we kept looking at was pierced.
He asked us while touching the area of the clown that caught his eye.
“I heard that you signed a trainee contract yesterday, so why is this your first reaction?”
“Ah, yesterday my head was full of idol survival, so I couldn’t watch it properly. Let’s just sign up quickly and leave! It was just a thought… Ah! I didn’t mean to just use it! I was thinking of doing the trainee life properly! It’s real!”
“I see.”
“I’m so real! I just couldn’t see it properly yesterday because my head was a bit busy. I’m really glad I was able to come here!”
No, why are you doing this all of a sudden? Are we the type who often make sudden jumps?
“I really intend to bury my bones in Bareungil Entertainment! Really! You never thought of it as a ticket to participate in the Idol Survival Resurrection Match, right? Rather, I think the loser’s revival match was the ticket to Bareungil Entertainment’s contract! Yes? Jinhyuk’s older brother. So please don’t misunderstand me!”
“I don’t know what a strange misunderstanding is, but I never thought of it.”
“Ji, really? Is it really real? You really don’t think of me as a bad guy who has a sneaky inside and is trying to take advantage of Jinhyeok oppa’s pure goodwill, right?”
“Why would I do that? Because I never thought of that.”
“Yeah… Then I’ll think about it that way. But Jinhyeok oppa, there is one thing you should know, but I really…”
Pandora’s box has been opened just because I reacted as if I was coming for the first time.
I replied, ‘I see,’ as an expression of understanding, but as if something had stung me, we opened the front door, passed through the lobby, boarded the elevator, and showed our sincerity until we entered the hallway with the lesson room.
“Um, see that end over there? That’s our Bareungil Enter practice room.”
“Oh, yes? Are you going there? It means there are other members over there.”
Still, it’s fortunate that it became quiet after talking about the other members.
I was sincerely relieved that we, who had been chattering like baby birds, had become quiet, and opened my mouth to reassure us that we were about to start anew.
“The other members are probably practicing by now. It’s going to be break time, so it’s okay to go in. You can’t be nervous. Everyone is nice, and to be honest, it hasn’t been a week since the members got together, so I don’t have much territorial attitude… But it’s probably okay. ······Maybe.”
But for some reason, I opened my mouth to reassure you, but as I said it would be okay, I became anxious first.
I didn’t know that the terrible thing that happened when Haru came in might happen again.
“Oh yes! It’s okay. I like that friendliness. Idol Survival also said that we are worthy of our name. That’s how the nickname Wooriuri came about.”
“That, is it? Then we will only trust you.”
“Yes!”
In the end, thanks to us, I felt relieved, and we opened the door to the lesson room.
Then, the scene inside the expanded lesson room was so shocking that we were amazed and said, “heheheheh?!”
“Huh…”
“Huh. Ha. Whoa. Ugh, the play…”
“Sup. Whoa. Sup. Whoa.”
“······Wow.”
The air inside the lesson room was so harsh and crude that it was unimaginable that idol trainees, who should be brighter than anyone else, were taking lessons.
Ha An-i and Lee-ra, who had enough stamina, stood up and took a breath, but Haru and Ji-ji, who were not like that, became one with the floor.
“Ahhhhh…”
In the case of Jiwoo, who has the weakest stamina among the members, he almost seemed to be wandering between life and death.
I need to do special training with Jiwoo soon. Fortunately, I didn’t pass out today, but that’s going to be a real big deal.
I was worried about how much I had rolled since the morning until now, and I was worried about the members who had become unconscious, so Ji-yeon, who was out of sight, greeted me with a heavy breath.
“Haaah, Jinhyeok is here? Good timing. It’s time for a little break now. Is the kid behind him a new member?”
“Huh? Ah yes. We are the last member. Nauri. Say hello to us.”
“Ah, hello, I am Nauri, a 19-year-old trainee this year! I look forward to!”
At our short and concise self-introduction, everyone’s eyes were focused on us.
“Ha ha ha, when you’re nineteen… are you the same age as me? I am no longer the youngest!”
“Sup, hoo. Sup, whoa. Let’s go… Whoa. Not bad. You seem to have skills.”
“Haaa. Jiwoo, come on. The trainee you like.”
“Ahhhhh…”
Except for Jiwoo who is standing at the crossroads of life and death.
Hearing that we were coming, Jiwoo, who had been looking forward to the most while running around, was losing his mind, and only the people of interest were watching us.
If it was originally planned, Jiwoo, our fan, would run around and greet us, and the other members should have accepted us as well, riding in that bright and warm atmosphere. The most important Jiwoo was in a state of retirement.
In the end, I have no choice but to do it. If I don’t want a catastrophe to happen, I have to do my best…!
“Jinhyuk oppa, are all the people here trainees like me?”
“Huh? Uh, right Except for Jiyeon standing in front of the kids over there. Jiyeon is as pretty as an idol, but she is a teacher.”
“I see…”
After hearing my answer, we turned our heads and looked at the members without a word.
At our gaze directed at him, Ha-an and Haru, excluding Ji-woo, radiated ferocious momentum as if they would immediately counterattack if they attacked.
“······Jinhyeok.”
“······Brother?”
“Ai really. Hani unnie and Haru unnie told me not to do that. What wild animal are you? Are you saying that your territory has been invaded? Of course, I don’t understand why you dare to call him that.”
Lira seemed to restrain the two of them, but she didn’t let her guard down from us either.
For some reason, our kids were very wary of the new member, even though they were the members they would have to work with as idols, and Ha An, the most senior member, had only joined for less than two weeks.
Do I really have to step in? Yes, there is Ji-yeon and Ji-woo, who will act as a buffer, is that shape, so I have no choice but to do it!
Before something terrifying happens again like the day before, or an unfortunate incident that leaves us hurt and discouraged, I opened my mouth with a firm resolve.
“Hey guys…”
“Like Jinhyuk oppa said, everyone is really, really pretty! I met a lot of celebrities while living as a trainee and appearing on a TV station, but to be honest, the members here are prettier than most actors and idols!”
Well, yes. We have a very good affiliation. I didn’t even have to step out. Well, we only asked you to believe in me, but it’s a bit like me stepping out.
I stopped talking to us, but I took a step back, shut my mouth, and started to appreciate how we and our members were doing.
“······The manager said you were pretty?”
“Brother? Well, oppa doesn’t hold back my praise.”
“My older brother said I was pretty…”
“heheheheuuu…”
It seemed like there was a zombie who hadn’t come to his senses yet, but first of all, our compliment first was very effective.
Because they captured Ha An and Haru, who seemed to bite if they approached with high alertness, and Lira, who was sure of their vigilance even if they weren’t alone.
Indeed, the saying, ‘Praise makes even idols (Jin) dance… not, but makes them feel good.’ Was appearing in reality.
“Wow, what is that? Attachment is very good. I don’t think it’s to the extent of erasure. It’s a different feeling from Jiwoo.”
“Isn’t it? Aren’t we great?”
Our speech was so good that even Ji-yeon, who had left before I knew it, admired it.
Because with every single compliment I said through my mouth, the boundaries between all the members, each with their own unique personalities, were broken down.
But our mad movie didn’t end there.
“You are the eldest sister here, and you are the member who has known Jinhyeok oppa the longest. Our team will never shake the hierarchy! I have an older sister like this! Um, if you don’t mind, can I call you Ha-an’s older sister?”
“Well, do whatever you like. We.”
“Your name is Lyra? Wow… What a beautiful name! Combined with me, are we? hehehehe, let’s get along well as friends!”
“Huh? Ugh, yes! Let’s get along, it’s us!”
“Haru Kang······ Do you and Jinhyeok have the same last name? Are they really siblings? The atmosphere is similar and it feels like a real family!”
“Heh, hehehe. It’s like a real family. With my brother. Anyway us? He’s cute like a little brother. Shall I call you Uri-chan?”
I don’t know what the heck is going on, but less than 5 minutes after we introduced ourselves, the members completely blended in.
“Then everyone! I’m going to unravel what happened with Jinhyeok oppa yesterday, so let’s get together!”
No, it was to the extent that it could be said that it became the center of conversation beyond fusion.
“What did Jinhyeok oppa do at the broadcasting station? I met a sub-writer I couldn’t even see. He just told me…”
I was very embarrassed because I never imagined that we would pay such a good nickname, but this embarrassment was an embarrassment that should be welcomed.
“That, so? What did the manager say?”
“Tell me quickly! What did my brother do after that!”
“Uri-chan? I know you want to annoy us, but if you go too far, that’s…”
“Then I will tell you now. Jin-hyeok oppa, I will imitate your vocal cords, so listen carefully. This is valuable!”
“That’s it…”
My heart fluttered when I saw the five members gathered in one place and chatting excitedly.
There wasn’t a single member that was easily recruited, and even after recruiting, each one had a strong personality and strong prayers, so there was never a day when they just let it go. Even so, this day had to come.
Haan, Lira, Jiwoo, Haru, and even us. The five of them gathered together and eventually became complete.
“Now it looks real.”
“What?”
“My kids stand on stage.”
“Already?”
“Please say finally.”
Because it took me seven years to imagine that scene.
Every time I recruited members, I imagined standing on stage, but that was just an imagination and not different from a daydream.
However, looking at the current members who have become perfect after recruiting us, the image on stage was drawn so vividly that it was hard to believe that it was just an imagination.
My dream has always been to raise the best idols.
And I finally stood at the starting line to walk toward my dream.
“Whoa. Good.”
From Noble mtl dot com
This is the real beginning. Let’s do our best. Towards the best.
I pushed Jiyeon’s back with the palm of my hand, vowing never to collapse toward my dream again.
“Aww?!”
“Okay then, please. Teacher.”
“·······No. It’s a start! Isn’t it a bit strange to push someone with the same face?”
“Then what should I do? I’m not even a teacher The teacher here is Ji-yeon.”
“That’s true. Yes, everyone should do their job well. Alright, leave it to me here, instead. If I can’t be a manager and the jewels I’ve crafted don’t shine, then I won’t stay still.”
“You don’t have to worry about that. Because I will be the best manager in charge of the best idols.”
I can be sure of this.
There is no one who can stop me now running towards my dream.
Thinking of that, I left the classroom with Ji-yeon and left the classroom.
Tiriririri.
Then the phone rang at just the right time.
“Huh? Are you my brother? Hello?”
[Hey, Jinhyeok!!!! Ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!]
“Why?”
[Wow, it’s here!!!!!]
I heard a sound like thunder from the sky.

“Hey, star over there. You also have to adjust to jet lag. It must be hard. Let’s rest a little huh? I’m worried about my dad.”
“It’s okay. I slept well on the plane. You know charter flights are convenient.”
“How do I know that? I’ve never ridden one.”
“That’s because my dad said he was busy and didn’t ride even though I asked him to go with me. Anyway, is the agency doing well?”
“Eh, huh?!”
“Why are you so surprised? There are 3 years left until my brother comes out. Now you have to prepare slowly. My goal is for my brother to raise the best idols. Because I, the idol in charge, am already the best. Isn’t there only a company left that can perfectly support that?”
“Yes, it is.”
“Um… You look suspicious today, Dad. I can’t. I want to go to the right road once.”
“Uh, uh uh?! Now, wait a minute, star! Bar, Bob! Let’s eat first and go slowly! Huh?”
“How come you keep winning? Do you have something to hide? I can’t. Right now, go straight to Enter, Dad.”
The greatest superstar of the present era, Byeol appears.
