76 – Adult’s Share (2)
1.
Looking at their age and what they were doing, these guys in front of me were children.
I was only covered by the splendid brilliance of the girls, but I was never a child.
I just didn’t notice because I was fascinated by the brilliance, but our members were always children.
Are they at least in their early 20s? If it’s natural to still act like a child, can you say it’s natural?
Among the members, even Ha An, who lived the most hardcore life, was far from an adult when I saw him openly fighting with a new member.
Not to mention the rest of the kids who are younger than Ha-an and have less trains.
What happened was that Jiwoo, who looked the youngest and was the cutest, acted the most maturely.
I decided to become an idol no matter what, and since I made that choice, group activities were indispensable, so it wasn’t right to say that from the start, I would just aim to be a member of the same group.
Even if it’s unavoidable that you can’t get along because your personality or values don’t match while promoting, it’s something that should never happen considering that things go wrong from the start.
So, as an adult, I had the responsibility to change the thoughts of those who are adults on the outside but just kids with high self-esteem on the inside.
Usually, fighting within an organization like this is because you’re comfortable with your body, so if you roll so that you don’t even have the strength to fight, you’ll get closer with each other…
The easiest method, ‘roll so hard that you don’t want to fight’, was cut for that reason.
Then, as for the remaining methods, there are a few that come out when I roughly leak it out, and among them, I thought it would be best to use the method used by most idol groups.
“Guys. Enough of that nonsense, just listen to me now.”
As I clapped my hands and said, thankfully, Ha-an, Li-ra, and Haru, who had been creating a rough and dry atmosphere until now, and Ji-woo, who had been sending eyes of trust by my side, focused their attention on me.
Wow. Why are their eyes so pretty? Who really picked the kids with these gem-like eyes? Oh my, is it me?
I was speechless and had useless thoughts at the beautiful gaze shining like four pairs of jewels.
“There are still four of us, and it feels a bit like that to say that all the members have gathered. I don’t think I can leave it like this, so I think I’ll have to decide now even if it’s early.”
“What?”
“Leader.”
!!!
As soon as the word leader came out of my mouth, the atmosphere in the house instantly stiffened.

In this place where all sounds disappear and only heavy silence lingers, the four of them looked at each other as if they were trying to squeeze each other.
“Hey there. Manager brother I don’t want to be a leader.”
“Huh? Uh… That, yes.”
“Wow! Thank you more! To be the leader of our members who are so pretty, cool, and cute. I can’t because I’m out of breath. hehehehe, that’s nice.”
Correction. Except for Jiwoo, the three of them were looking at each other as if they were trying to squeeze it.
Before I even asked if anyone wanted to be a leader like that, Jiwoo, who had voluntarily resigned, stuck close to me and looked at the other three like me.
As I gently tousled Jiwoo’s hair, I started explaining how to select a leader to the three who were nervous as if they couldn’t take away the leader’s seat.
“Usually in an idol group, the leader is chosen by the members or the company selects the right member as the leader.”
“That’s right! That’s the basics!”
“But we won’t do that. Because? The former is because you don’t seem to give up a leader even if you pretend to each other, and the latter is because I, who is in charge of you, doesn’t want to freely choose a leader among you.”
“Yes yes! Everyone but me wants to be the leader, so the members won’t be able to decide, and the manager oppa doesn’t want to decide the leader either!”
When I turned my head slightly at the elated blessing of blessings coming from the side, I saw Ji-Woo with his arms crossed, putting pressure on the three of them with a strict, serious expression as if he were a manager.
Of course, it’s pressure from Jiwoo’s point of view, but from my point of view, he just looked like a child who said he would just wear daddy’s shoes and go to work.
But it’s cute, so let’s just leave it alone.
I continued my explanation while stroking Jiwoo’s fluffy hair.
“Then how are you going to select a leader? You must be thinking like that. I will tell you that now. It’s different from what an ordinary idol group does, the essence is roughly the same, but the form will choose a leader in a completely different way. If that’s the way it is.”
I stopped talking here for a moment, took out my cell phone from my pocket, and invited everyone here to a chat room.
Wow. Ugh. Whoops. Immediate reading manager.
Then, cell phones vibrate in each of their pockets… Wait a minute.
“Haanah, what was that just now?”
“I set it up so that if the manager sends something, I can check it right away. In my voice.”
“That, I see. Good job.”
“By the way, other than the manager, no matter what they send to me, I set it to not vibrate.”
I didn’t want to hear that much.
For some reason, Ha-an seemed very proud when he said that he made the notification sound only when I contacted him.
I thought I would face something I couldn’t handle if I dug further here, so I said I’d roughly figured it out, and then I opened an anonymous vote in the group chat room where everyone was in.
“Since Jiwoo resigned, there are three of you candidates. Right?”
“aaah! Wait a minute, wait a minute! If you’re going to do it with this kind of vote, I’m going to participate!”
“Huh?”
“When I was in the class president election while attending school, I was shy and couldn’t get in as a candidate, so I wanted to be a candidate at least once!”
“I see.”
What can I say? It’s a very down-to-earth reason.
I listed the names of Ha Ahn, Lira, Haru, and Jiwoo, who resigned and then came back as a candidate.
So the candidates were elected, and when I saw my name on the ballot list, I smiled at the four people who realized what method I would use.
“Now, we will elect a leader through this election. Since you set it so that you can’t vote for yourself, should you vote for someone else? All you have to do is let them vote for the person they can trust the most.”
When I said this far, I honestly had a feeling that repercussions would inevitably arise.
As I said before, what kind of leader do trainees who don’t yet have all the members choose?
Even myself, the person who came up with the method of voting, feels this absurd, but what will my kids think after hearing what I have to say?
But it was also what I wanted to be able to criticize me like that.
Agreeing on each other’s opinions means that a sense of solidarity has been created, and getting closer and closer by turning the water like that is the relationship between people.
That’s why I took this messy leader election as if it were a trick.
“Okay.”
“Oppa, I’ve never seen a leader decide like this.”
“I’m not familiar with idols, but… it’s what my older brother decided, so there must be a reason for everything.”
“Wow! We’re picking a leader like a class president!”
But why do they accept it so easily?
Obviously, I was prepared for a repercussion, or rather, I said to me, ‘No, you say that not all the members have gathered yet, so you decide on a leader? Not just a temporary one, but a real leader? What about the next member to join? He can’t even exercise his right to vote and has no choice but to follow the leader who has already been chosen. Isn’t that a complete violation of idol rights?”
“Manager, please start voting soon.”
“······· Huh? Uh uh… Uhm.”
Rather, our members were urging us to start voting quickly with words and eyes.
I pushed the button to start voting, forgetting what I was going to say, driven by the four people’s burning desire to exercise their right to vote.
Hook. T-ring!
And the voting ended in less than 5 seconds.
“······It’s over.”
I was in a situation that was very different from what I had imagined… I dazedly touched my phone screen to check the voting results.
“Ugh, hmm. That…… So, the winner of the 1st leader election is…”
※※※
“I never thought that such a result would come out. My brother said he couldn’t vote himself, so how is that?”
“Sure. Each one received one vote, and all four of them were elected as leaders with a perfect tie.”
“Since each vote was evenly distributed, a re-voting would be meaningless.”
The result of the vote is that everyone wins.
In the first place, there were four people who wondered if it would make sense for all of them to be elected in the one-person election, but Kang Jin-hyeok, who saw the results, said, “It might be better. For now, let’s assume that there are four first-generation leaders, and next time, when the members are fully equipped and there is another election, let’s hope that it doesn’t happen like this then!”
For different reasons, but anyway, Kang Jin-hyeok’s words were no different from a revelation to them.
Now that all the members have become leaders, in this house where Kang Jin-hyeok left, saying he had work, the four leaders were just staring blankly into space.
In the meantime, Yoo Ji-woo, who said that he had become the leader, and was excited even though it was the first time in his life that he had been chosen by anyone, suddenly brought up the word.
“By the way, who did everyone film? I took one day. I’m sorry about that earlier.”
When Yoo Ji-woo asked who he was filming for, the three people who had made up their minds to become leaders realized it at the same time.
If he knows who voted for him, he knows that he might be able to become the leader in the next election.
