[Have you signed a half-year contract?]
[Why do you do half a year? What is it? The contract period is short at Furado, so what are you going to do?]
[↳ If the atmosphere for joining continues to be bad, you are going to be tense… … .]
[↳↳ Is there really no other reason other than this?]
[↳↳↳Yeah… … .]
[TRV Are you crazy? I never even heard of a half-year contract.]
[No, then what? Haewon eats swear words and TRV ends the contract without taking responsibility even if something goes wrong?]
[No, Haewon, why do you make such a contract ㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
[↳ Because I like the stage… … .]
[↳ Stage… … 222]
[Why do my kids only meet people who want to eat like this… … .]
[↳ A kid who really deserves a passion pay… … .]
[↳↳This is the image that companies want hahahaaha]
[↳↳↳ ㅇㅇㅇㅇ ㅇㅇㅇㅇㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[↳↳↳X It sounds like it is correct hahahaaha
[But honestly, considering the image of Jung Hae-won in the beginning, isn’t it just grateful that he signed the contract?
[↳ Are you a TRV employee?]
[Honestly, I wish I could just go to another company, but then I can’t play Pera again, so that’s not possible… … .]
[↳ Really like X hahahaahaha]
[For now, just keep calling. To be honest, the company needs to know that I have to sign a contract with Haewon somehow in this situation]
[↳I’m still working on it until I receive it hehe It’s Nile that Haewon objected to the recruitment half a year ago… … .]
[↳↳ Huh? Why can’t it be edited?]
[Everyone says something like this in an angry atmosphere, but… … . There is a chance that Haewon will go to another company… … ?]
[↳ If you’re like me, you’re like X, so it seems like you’re leaving]
[↳↳X I don’t even notice]
[↳ I don’t know… … .]
[↳As usual, I would like to ask you to protect your loyalty and say something, but honestly, I wonder if Haewon has any loyalty to us… … .]
[↳ So… … I also wondered what Haewon would think of the existing sunbeams… … .]
[By the way, Haewon coined the word “sunshine” in the first place… … It’s so good that you coined the word “sunshine”, because the kids hardly ever used the word “sunrise”. Are you saying it didn’t stick to your mouth? But after the word “sunshine” was coined, the sun is shining every day ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
[↳ I got a nickname and I feel like I’ve become really close with Pura and the fans… … .]
[↳↳Haewon is fur, even the kids call me by nicknames… … . It’s like giving nicknames to people you want to get to know or people you think are close to… … . Even when all the fans objected to the signing, maybe it was because I wanted to get to know him… … .]
[↳↳↳Why are you crying ㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
[↳↳↳↳Sunshine? me too… … .]

[Pearl Jung Hae-won’s contract ends this year]
[Would you like to renew your contract with TRV?]
[↳ I don’t think I will]
[↳ Half a year ago, there was nowhere to go. Now, if Jung Hae-won said he was going, there were plenty of companies to take him.]
While First Light fans were depressed, embarrassed and angry, other K-pop fans were also curious.
Hwang Sae-byeok looked at the clock and said while checking the internet, which was more noisy than Jung Hae-won’s first light recruitment.
“When does the exam end?”
In response to Hwang Sae-byeok’s words, Park Seon-jae looked at the clock together and answered.
“Because I said I was reading a second language… … About six o’clock?”
At those words, Min Ji-ho, who was lying on the floor of the practice room with the padded rolled up, said:
“If I check Jiwoon hyung’s article, I’ll go back to the early days of Kook Seon-ah. A handsome lamb.”
Those words reminded the members of Shin Ji-woon in the early days of Kook Seon-ah. Park Seon-jae said.
“I can’t be on the same team as a bastard… … .”
The members nodded their heads without saying a word.
Then the door to the practice room opened and Joo-won Ahn and Jung Hae-won entered. Jung Hae-won said while taking off his padding.
“There are a lot of places in your company that have chairs, so why do you always sit on the floor of the practice room?”
“There are other employees.”
Jung Hae-won said in response to Hwang Sae-byeok.
“I have my studio.”
“Is that okay?”
Min Ji-ho jumped up to his upper body and slapped his forehead.
“Oh right. I’m still mad.”
At those words, the members next to each other made ridiculous expressions. Stork Dawn said.
“The studio is locked.”
“Oh, yes. Then lend me your card key… … .”
Jung Hae-won inadvertently took out the card key, paused, and put it back in. Han Hyo-seok asked.
“Isn’t that for employees?”
“Why do you have one?”
Park Seon-jae asked the same question and realized it and said it.
“Ah, I got it when I was an employee of hyung. Didn’t you return it?”
“… … Fingerprint recognition annoying. You have to take off your gloves.”
Jung Hae-won put the card key back into the wallet. I really didn’t want to return it, so I asked the members to join the group, and then they all headed to the studio together.
Arriving at the studio, with the help of the staff, the fingerprints of the rest of the members were registered on the door lock.
The environment was good, but it was a small workroom. The three of us sat on the two-seater sofa, and the other three sat on chairs and stools brought to us by the staff.
After that, he didn’t say anything for a while, and after a while, Han Hyo-seok opened his mouth.
“Hae-won hyung.”
“uh.”
“Aren’t you going to go to another company?”
“Am I crazy? I won’t go, even if you don’t like it, I’ll go with you for the rest of my life.”
“Shall we all go together to sign a contract?”
“I’m scared when you guys run around, just stay here.”
After Jung Hae-won was calm, he got up from his seat.
“More than that, everything I say inside the president’s office is a lie. know?”
The biggest weapon the company has now in the renewal of the contract was a group called First Light. Conversely, if Jung Hae-won did not attach a lot of meaning to the group called First Light, he could achieve a bigger profit.
It was Jung Hae-won, who thought that idols should not use the expression ‘squeaking’, but the phrase ‘my biggest weakness is you’ didn’t seem to come out at all.
While the members were waiting in the studio, Jung Hae-won went into the president’s office and met President Park Hee-taek. President Park Hee-taek would have been informed that Jung Hae-won had arrived at the company, but he did not ask where he was. Because I wanted to look relaxed.
President Park Hee-taek said.
“Tell me if you want anything. I will do my best to accommodate you.”
“You want it? Too many.”
When signing contracts with other First Light members, they were not adults in the first place, so they brought their parents along, and because of complicated contracts for individual activities, the employees of each agency followed suit.
Jung Hae-won was of course old enough to bring her parents along, but even now, at the time of the first contract, it seemed comfortable to be alone.
President Park Hee-taek said.
“Tell me everything at once.”
I expected you to tell me to meet the contract period. Because that was the only condition for Jung Hae-won from the beginning.
But another word came out of Jung Hae-won’s mouth.
“I actually got a call from Terminal Enter.”
“… … Well, it seemed so.”
Somehow, unlike when I called, I thought that the contract was not going to end easily. Jung Hae-won sighed and continued.
“The conditions are very good… … .”
“okay?”
“Too many. There must be a reason why you must take me.”
President Park Hee-taek nodded and answered.
“Then let’s go. If you like it too much.”
“okay?”
“I think of you.”
While Jung Hae-won paused, President Park Hee-taek continued.
“We want to hold you. But, I’ll be honest. I’m not trying to make fun of you, so please understand.”
“… … yes.”
“If you don’t go to Terminal Enter and stay here. Will VMC like our company? Being with you may actually be a loss.”
At that, Jung Hae-won made a blank expression on his face and then burst into laughter.
“a.”
“What is Ay?”
“On the other hand, if you don’t catch me, the sunshine… … Will First Light fans stand still? The fans who flowed into The Rising?”
Although he hardly saw the reaction on the Internet, he seemed to be able to grasp the atmosphere by talking with the members constantly. Jung Hae-won spoke.
“Boss, it doesn’t matter if you say you won’t, but don’t beat my ransom too much.”
It was a different reaction from the data about Jung Hae-won that I had so far. While President Park Hee-taek rested for a while, Jung Hae-won looked at President Park Hee-taek for a moment, then took a deep breath and said:
“Oh, I can’t.”
“… … What?”
“Members, I’m trying to say that nothing matters, but those words don’t come out. They are really important to me, so I want to be in that TRV. whatever it is So, please meet the conditions. It doesn’t have to be as good as Terminal Enter, but since you’ve already been offered it, you have to be right to some extent. Because I am not a hogu.”
look at this bastard
President Park Hee-taek would rather have Jung Hae-won confide in him honestly, and it was ridiculous and comfortable, so he folded his arms and leaned back on the chair.
“Well, you’re not a hogu.”
“I will make it happen. Even if VMC gives you a disadvantage, I will make First Light succeed to the point where it doesn’t matter.”
“… … .”
“Just buy it expensive. Is this the coldest time?”
At Jung Hae-won’s words, President Park Hee-taek burst out laughing out loud because it was ridiculous.
“Are you twenty years old? Very, it turns people into gamblers.”
“Now? I thought you gambled together.”
Jung Hae-won smiled strangely and continued.
“I gambled with my life from the beginning.”
“… … .”
A gamble that risked your life from the start.
Even as President Park Hee-taek felt, Jung Hae-won’s words were not exaggerated at all.

The contract that started in the morning took a long time. From my point of view, the intention is impure, but I am grateful that Terminal Enter contacted me. It was because he told me about things that I hadn’t thought of when renewing the contract. Of course, it was thanks to my father for organizing the list well. I need to buy you something delicious.
It was eight o’clock in the evening when the contract was finalized. When I went to the studio, the members were still there.
“What have you been doing?”
As I entered, I asked, and Hwang Sae-byeok pointed to Shin Ji-woon, who was sleeping in a padded hood in the corner of the studio.
“I stopped him from being a bitch.”
“It’s a lot of trouble.”
“I am afraid to have children. I’m afraid something like that will happen.”
Min Ji-ho, who was tired of Hwang Sae-byeok’s words, said.
“me too!”
“Are you done?”
Han Hyo-seok asked, and I answered.
“I have renewed my contract. The conditions are so good that I won’t be able to tell you.”
At that, Park Seon-jae said.
“Hyung, it doesn’t matter because you’re going to be copyright rich anyway. Buy me something delicious.”
“Of course, let’s buy something delicious, and let’s go get a team ring.”
Shin Ji-woon opens his eyes at my words and glances at me. I guess he was pretending to sleep even though he came in with a pout. Shin Ji-woon slowly woke up.
“Expensive.”
“It’s cheap, kid. Are you trying to rob your brother?”
“Oh, I’m going to pout again.”
Shin Ji-woon tried to lie down again, so I was forced to get up and said,
“okay okay. sorry. Shake it off, bud.”
At the sound of the team ring, the other members slowly rose from their seats. Only Min Ji-ho got up from his seat for a while and asked me.
“Brother, so are we going to stay together?”
“yes.”
At my words, Min Ji-ho put his hand in his padded pocket and shook his head and grumbled.
“Sir, you’re surprised.”
“Oh, I’m sorry… … .”
Min Ji-ho couldn’t raise his head for a while, probably surprised. The other members also looked around and their eyes were a little red. When I think of what the members were surprised by, then I felt terribly sorry.

That night, Jung Hae-won posted a picture on the X bus. It was the appearance of seven First Light members gathered together in a small ring workshop.
[Haewon: Sunshine! I got the First Light team ring. It took a long time to choose a pattern because the seven of us had different tastes. I’m sorry for making you worry today. I think it’s a new start and I’ll work hard! The starting point is different, but we will end up in the same place! Sunshine, I really, really, really love you a lot!]
