Kang Ha-yeon was very light.
A dozen men stood under the lift, then safely held the position and safely received the falling Kang Ha-yeon.
After dropping Ha-yeon Kang, everyone’s eyes turned to the iron plate that had fallen on the floor.
Thinking that it might have fallen on Kang Ha-yeon, I get goosebumps even in the hot air of Bangkok.
Kang Ha-yeon’s manager rushed to him and checked the injuries, the most important of them, the face, but fortunately, apparently there were no injuries.
Ha-yeon Kang stared at whether she wanted to say something to me, then resigned as she didn’t know what to say and was carried by the staff.
After that, I felt that everyone was looking at me. The event staff looked suspiciously at the day when the staff said that the lift was weird, and the First Light members, as the members did after 2 years, looked at me with absurdity and was working as a manager.
I still have severe stage fright, but when I look back with more than 20 eyes, I get scared. I put on my hat and hurriedly ran to Park Hee-young. In this case, Park Hee-young’s spare time is the best shield.
As soon as the people of Team 1 saw me, they said a word to me.
“Maknae, your arms!”
“I’m perfectly fine.”
“Oh, my heart is pounding.”
“Why are you going there, dangerous? We have a security team.”
screams pour out No, I’m not a kid. I’m also the tallest in my team… … .
Immediately after the accident, the atmosphere of the concert hall subsided for a while, but it was quickly cleaned up and continued with the next rehearsal. I couldn’t afford to continue to be in shock because a live broadcast was scheduled for tomorrow.

It was a night without alcohol. There are reasons to drink anyway.
I interrupted the drinking party of Park Hee-young’s ex-boyfriend, Song Kang-won, at a bar inside the hotel.
Several staff members and Song Kang-won were present. I, too, suddenly sat down and drank alcohol, and when I got drunk to a certain extent, I brought up a topic that I wasn’t curious about at all because of a sense of duty.
“Brother, can I ask you one thing?”
“… … Heeyoung related?”
“yes. I can’t ask my sister.”
Actually, there was no need to ask. Park Hee-young told all the stories about her ex-boyfriend, Song Kang-won, from one to ten when he drank. There was no part that I didn’t know now why they were dating or why they broke up.
The only part I didn’t know was what Song Kang-won thought of Park Hee-young, but when Park Hee-young tried to make a phone call, it became a routine to prevent everyone from sticking together, so the two had never been connected.

On the outside, she maintains the coolness of Song Kang-won and the American style, but on the inside she is not. So, I was a little curious too. Is Song Kang-won really American?
Tears welled up in Song Kang-won’s eyes, even though I didn’t say anything and didn’t ask any questions. What is it, crazy?
“There is only Park Hee-young as a woman in my life, even if I am reborn! For me!”
“… … ah.”
American style is an illusion. Americans will say what you mean.
Realizing that they were just shivering with each other because they had feelings for each other, I wanted to stop this conversation, but it was already too late.
“Even if I am reborn!”
“You just said it.”
“How about me? Only Park Hee-young is a woman! uh?”
I think I have a bad drinking habit.
Hagiya, I heard that the two broke up because the marriage story did not progress due to Park Hee-young’s overly busy schedule while they were dating in public. It’s not that my heart is cold.
However, it was not easy for a lover who broke up after a public relationship to meet again.
Like a spy, I was reporting the situation to Park Hee-young through Kakao Talk, and Song Kang-won, who had banged his head on the table and suddenly cried, raised his head and said:
“I need to call Hee-young.”
“Oh, bro! Because I can’t!”
Song Kang-won’s manager, familiar with this situation, quickly took Song Kang-won’s cell phone. The manager knows the heart of the manager, and I, who couldn’t see the big Song Kang-won drinking and acting haphazardly, ran and stopped him.
It was when I thought that Song Kang-won, who had been acting like that, suddenly became quiet.
At the entrance of the bar, Park Hee-young, with a small, shiny clutch, appeared in a baseball cap, leggings and a hoodie, and grabbed Song Kang-won by the neck.
“Hee-hee, Hee-young?”
“Be quiet, Jin Sang-ah.”
Song Kang-won, who did not even listen to his manager’s words, was grabbed by Park Hee-young, whose waist was the size of his forearm, and was dragged away. Song Kang-won’s manager saw it and sat down.
“I think I should dry it, but I don’t have the stamina to do that, manager Cheol… … .”
“You know that my real name is not Cheol-soon, right?”
“no?”
Now I have to explain my real name as well.
Anyway, no matter how close I am and how good my singer is, I feel at ease because it feels like work is over because I am not by your side. We talked a little more with Song Kang-won’s manager and talked about his grievances.
After that, I went into the convenience store in front of the hotel to buy cigarettes before returning to my room, and there was a Stork Dawn wearing a bungee hat.
“uh?”
“uh.”
The bleached hair that sticks out under the cheeks even though it is covered enough to cover it is an idol no matter who you look at.
I quickly bought only what I could buy, but Hwang Sae-byeok bought nothing and immediately followed.
“Hey, there you are.”
I was a little worried that something of our old memories might burst with emotion. It was because I thought I was going to cry because I had a drink.
Fortunately, Stork Dawn-byeok was a dry bastard.
“How was our stage?”
“How are you?”
“Really honest.”
“honestly? Not good.”
Hwang Sae-byeok grumbled when I told him to be honest.
“Even when you’re an adult, you’re very talkative.”
“I want you to be honest.”
“Which side is different?”
“It’s all fine. X high school students wear suits and propose, get married, etc., will girls be able to move in there?”
“is it?”
“There are only four of your members who have a sister. Did you ask your sisters?”
“no. I’m not close with my sister.”
“What does it matter? Go and show some sincerity by asking the women around you if you are excited.”
We talked for the first time in two years, and it was no different from two years ago. The gag codes match each other well, so we keep giggling even if we don’t say anything.
Even with Kuk Seon-ah, the broadcasting system itself was a series of team games, so we fought ignorantly, but strangely, the situation in which they recognized that they were more at fault was similar, so it was solved quickly.
Back at the hotel, I smoked and beckoned to enter.
“You go to sleep.”
“Hey, what are you doing, it’s a live broadcast tomorrow. You have to keep practicing.”
“Where do you practice?”
“A room shared with Joo Won An. Our room only has full-length mirrors, so the kids practice there.”
They are terribly sincere guys. I really don’t know why these faithful people went bankrupt.
Even while I was lighting a cigarette, Stork did not enter and continued talking next to him.
“Honestly, I don’t think it’s something either? I have a feeling it’s not. But I don’t know what it is.”
“What is this?”
“No, I have that feeling.”
“Oh, so what do you feel?”
I’ll have to cancel what seems like a good fit. It doesn’t seem right. Hwang Sae-byeok was frustrated because he couldn’t explain it in words, and then said with annoyance.
“You don’t smoke, you bastard with no blood in your hair.”
“Dawn, I assure you, I’ve been driving more as an adult than most people in their 30s.”
It’s really sincere. After I became an adult, the only thing I did was drive and drink. Is life okay like this?
Stork said, squatting beside him.
“We’ve released two minis right now, haven’t we? Neither of them have any response. No, it doesn’t make sense if you don’t. Less and less interest, fewer YouTube views.”
Hwang Sae-byeok was too honest about whether he had a drink or whether he felt his life was free because of the accident. Stork Dawn continued.
“I just don’t know what I’m doing right now.”
“Heeyoung noona also said that when she was a rookie, it felt like she was just being dragged by the schedule. You’re also rookies, so it’s okay if you accumulate years of experience.”
“But I don’t think the age will accumulate.”
I couldn’t answer Stork’s words.
Anyone who has ever been a trainee feels like walking through an endless tunnel. Although I am heading towards the exit of debut, I know that that exit may not exist for me.
Twenty years old is too old for me to go further, but I’ve come too far to turn around.
He ran knowing that his debut was the end of that dreary life, but he was disbanded once due to his intentions, and while releasing two minis, the reaction only diminished, so Hwang Sae-byeok was in a state of ignorance.
I replayed First Light’s stage in my head and said involuntarily.
“Looking at that… … I wish I had more courage.”
“Ambition?”
“Oh, you know why. I will take over the music industry, just because these rookies have the ambition.”
while I was talking.
A status window appeared in front of me.
[The first chapter as a producer begins]
[First Light Digital Single]
[The keyword ‘meeting’ has been registered]
uh? who wants?
Whether I was embarrassed or not, the status window ended without further explanation.
I continued speaking in a state of ignorance of concern.
“And the fans like that kind of thing, it shows the solidarity. One team, one goal. like this.”
[First Light Digital Single]
[The keyword ‘one team, one goal’ has been registered]
what. Are you all registered?
I looked at the status window in amazement and asked Hwang Sae-byeok.
“A digital single after you?”
“how did you know?”
“guess. Is the song out?”
“The A&R team is still meeting. This album is really important. I received a lot of songs, but this is it, I don’t think there are any songs I want.”
… … okay?
Still, I said half-jokingly and half-seriously, who had become quite brazen after having had a short social life.
“I’m also preparing to compose these days.”
There’s something about having a good relationship. That’s when you write it.
“Are you composing? What have you made?”
I thought I was only driving in the first team, but surprisingly, I learned some things. This is what Park Hee-young said as soon as she heard that I was studying composition.
‘Chul-ah, I saw that there are people who compose music without networking or skills or anything. Among the endless kids, he was the most successful person. Shameless kids.’
‘Shameless kids?’
‘Oh, there are kids who just knock on the door when there’s nothing there. It’s just sending poor quality products everywhere. And I’m just bluffing that I’ll bring you the right song right away. The salesman ego is greater than the composer ego.’
‘… … .’
‘But, looking at it later, oddly enough, they survived more than the talented ones?’
“Oh, of course it is.”
I bluffed, and Stork Dawn replied.
“okay? You too, send our company A&R team.”
“You know why, why did you send me to the A&R team? I can send it to you.”
“uh… … .”
“Your team will use it, so you have to decide first.”
Considering my skills now, if I send it to the A&R team, it will be filtered out in the backer blind judgement. For now, perfection would be at the bottom.
So I boldly decided to give it a try.
And then the status window appeared again.
