I don’t know why the weather is so cold again.
It was too cold to go to the office, and manager Park Joong-woon went straight to the office, so I didn’t want to meet him, so I trembled and went into a nearby cafe. I grabbed my coffee, sat down in a corner and pulled out my phone.
I’m alone, so I found someone to contact. And first, I called Yang Yi-hyung, but he didn’t answer.
“Owl, what is it? I sleep every day.”
I grunted and checked the numbers stored on my phone.
It’s a little different for the family and members… … .
I scrolled down the number and checked the blocked number.
And there, I found the number of Ha-jeong Woo, a member of MII and my best friend at the former agency.
“… … .”
‘Haewon-ah, I’m really sorry. But what do you do? Idols are all images you see.’
And the good image I got from using me vanished along with the criticism of the bad guys. The fans were also in a relaxed atmosphere. He did not appear at the year-end awards ceremony, citing health reasons.
I searched for Ha-jeong Woo on SNS.
[This is why you can’t do business with personality]
[For some reason, Ha-jung Woo often talks about the members of Pera, but Perla doesn’t talk about Ha-jung Woo.]
[↳MII fans would beat X when they talked about it hahahaaha]
[But when I heard the words, my eyes were a bit sloppy when I was Guk Seon-ah]
At the same time traumatizing, does everyone hear that the original eyes are not good? I think I want
Aren’t I surprisingly good? Come to think of it, when Shin Ji-woon, who looks like that, cries out that Ji is cute, the fans say, ‘Yes, it’s cute’, but I want something that I can’t cry.
Humans are animals of adaptation, and when Ha-jeong Woo first acted as a traitor, it felt like the world was falling apart, but after being betrayed by the manager who was right next to him, I just feel like life is just like that.
I unblocked Ha-jeong Woo and made a call. It was busy, so I got the call right away. I asked.
“Isn’t it okay?”
-… … .
“Look at the movie. It helped me when I was working later.”
-… … .
“Tell me.”
Ha-jeong Woo opened her mouth at my words.
-Sorry.
“… … .”
This time I have nothing to say. Fortunately, Ha-jeong Woo continued.
-I thought you would do the same if our situation were the other way around, but after thinking about it, it wasn’t. you never would
“You are really cool. I was thinking a lot.”
-Uh, I have a lot of time.
There is no strength in the voice that answers. After all, it’s when you’re most afraid of the future.
Ha-jeong Woo asked.
-Why did you call me?
“Because I’m depressed. It’s a bit like talking to the members.”
– Aren’t you close?
“Not friendly.”
Because I’m close, I don’t want to show my gloom. Because I want to keep the relationship better in the future, because depression is contagious.
… … Besides, I’ve already seen too many of Mattang’s gone.
I was talking.
“Seeing you depressed makes me feel better. I’ll call you again when I’m depressed.”
– What, are you calling because you’re worried about me?
“Are you crazy? Why are you so self-centered?”
I spoke and hung up the phone.
I couldn’t go back to work even though I was messing around at the cafe like that, so I headed to Yang Yi-hyung’s studio. As expected, Yang Yi-hyung, who was sleeping on the extra bed, woke up for a moment.
“uh.”
“uh.”
Saying that, I sat down on a chair, put on my headset, and listened to my favorite song. Then Yang Yi-hyung finally got up and asked.
“When are you going to make a title? A&Rs peck me because it’s hard to tell you.”
“Now I have to make it.”
“Is it taking an unusually long time this time?”
“No, you’ve just made what you want to make so far, haven’t you? But this time, all the concepts are out there, and it’s difficult to make them according to them.”
“Uh, is that the first time… … Oh right. You’ve only been composing for a year now.”
Yang Yi-hyung spoke and rubbed his face with both hands and said.
“Your X feet are trying to swear again.”
“I already did it, damn.”
“What kind of curse is the X-foot? Exclamation.”
“You haven’t been able to sleep well, so you don’t know what hyung is talking about right?”
Yang Yi-hyung was embarrassed by my words and changed the topic.
“Anyway, if I work according to the concept this time, it will be helpful when I make an OST for a drama later.”
“Oh, good. If I make it, can you put some of our youngest wasabi or storks in it?”
“Anyway, if an idol member composes a song, the vocalists of the same team get a proposal first.”
big, good We want to brag about our vocals… … .
I put the blanket back on Yang Yi-hyung and said.
“Sleep again, I’ll work quietly.”
“Am I old?”
Yang Yi-hyung said it, but went back to sleep.
* * *
As soon as Manager Park Jung-woon returned to the company, he immediately described the situation, packed his bags and left.
Fortunately, the management team had a manager I worked with whenever First Light needed a new manager, so it was replaced immediately.
The manager who went out with Jung Hae-won came back alone and quit, so it was impossible to know that Park Jung-woon’s manager was the leaker.
Hwang Sae-byeok kept calling Jung Hae-won, who did not return to the office, and said,
“No, why don’t you take it, you bastard?”
And Han Hyo-seok, who managed to connect by calling Park Joong-woon’s manager, finished the call and said:
“Haewon hyung just got off from Seochon?”
“Did you just send it?”
“I think so.”
At that time, Joo-won Ahn said while taking the padding.
“I’ll go to Lee hyung hyung’s studio.”
“Shall we go too?”
When Min Ji-ho and Park Seon-jae came forward, Joo-won Ahn stopped him.
“I’ll just go and come alone.”
Shin Ji-woon agreed to that.
“Ahn Joo-won speaks the softest among us, so I’d rather go alone.”
So, after compromising, Ahn Joo-won went to Yang Yi-hyung’s studio alone.
As expected, Jung Hae-won was in Yang Yi-hyung’s studio, looking at the blank screen with a serious expression. Then he turned around to the sound of knocking on the door and opened the door. Then, he pointed to Yang Yi-hyung with his chin. It was a signal to keep quiet.
Ahn Joo-won dragged Jung Hae-won outside and asked.
“What are you doing now?”
“me? to work.”
“That manager hyung was the leaker, and you just got off the road.”
“yes.”
“But why are you working here?”
“When I was in this mood, I thought something good would come out. But surprisingly, I can’t think of anything.”
Jeong Hae-won said nothing insignificant, then looked at Ahn Joo-won and continued.
“Come here, did you write any lyrics?”
“… … .”
“Oh, hey. Where.”
‘It’s completely gone.’
Ahn Ju-won thought and pushed Jung Hae-won’s back up the stairs and contacted the support team.
* * *
Ahn Joo-won contacted me, so I had to go back to the counseling center, which I had not been to for a while. Every day they say nothing but rest, but I have no intention of resting.
After being pushed back to work by Ahn Joo-won, I tried to be alone in my studio, but the members came in one by one and either sat on the sofa or sat down. In the end, I turned the chair and said to Shin Ji-woon, who was playing a game on the sofa on the sofa.
“You were only in the practice room to avoid the staff, so you emptied Room 304. go away.”
“Don’t worry about useless things, just work.”
“I can’t work because I’m so worried.”
“No, we don’t care about you, so why do you care?”
Ugh, I don’t even have the stamina to speak.
I just gave up and turned my head back to the screen.
Shin Ji-woon brought a stool and sat next to him and asked.
“What do you make?”
“title.”
“Is there nothing?”
“I had a topic in mind, but I can’t think of anything after that.”
“What is the topic?”
“Let’s go forward without getting caught up in revenge, shall we?”
“It’s like a boy’s cartoon.”
“Well, I’m just trying to create that kind of atmosphere. It fits perfectly with a medieval fantasy-style concept. But I have no idea.”
I mumbled and looked at the blank screen again. And I pressed the chord progression of my favorite or famous song on the keyboard.
Shin Ji-woon heard it and said.
“I thought everyone who made songs like that for boy comics was optimistic.”
“I am optimistic.”
“… … Well, I’m optimistic, so I’m doing this in my studio right now.”
After obtaining consent, he was satisfied and smiled, turning the chair toward Shin Ji-woon and said.
“And I am a kid. So take turns monitoring. Of course, I’m a bit of an observant, so it’s not that I hate that you guys care.”
“Oh, we know you like it.”
At Shin Ji-woon’s answer, I laughed and said.
“Composing is not something I have to do because it’s my job even if I’m depressed, but I do it because it comforts me.”
“… … .”
“Sometimes, the public opinion doesn’t get better, so I can’t promote. If I have negative thoughts, I imagine composing under a pseudonym.”
“It wouldn’t be good if it was hyung’s name anyway, but I’ll take a look. What’s your pseudonym?”
“… … Sun Garden?”
“Ah, ‘Sun’ and ‘Garden’ in your brother’s name separately?”
“uh.”
“I don’t really recognize it, people.”
… … I thought it was a pretty decent alias. The task should be left to someone else.
Shin Ji-woon said, pointing to the empty monitor.
“But you can’t work right now. What comfort?”
“The pain of creation is all the process of creation, isn’t it?”
“No, I mean. Don’t rely too much on composing.”
“why?”
“Then if the song doesn’t come out, it’s over.”
This bastard has a personality again.
“What are you talking about?”
“Is there something I can’t say right now?”
No, but. What if the real song doesn’t come out?
uh… … .
After that, I didn’t even think about it.
Shin Ji-woon continued.
“Anyway, all creators go through a slump. There is no one in the world who doesn’t come. Brother, the will is to lean on a place that will not collapse. family or members.”
“… … .”
“Not Ha-jeong, who is equally crazy.”
“… … How did you know?”
“Hajeong hyung called. Are you okay bro?”
“ah.”
I nodded, looked at the monitor again, covered my face with my hands, and started to giggle. Shin Ji-woon, not knowing why I was smiling, put his hands together and prayed.
“Please do what you didn’t hear.”
“Kyah, your will is leaning on a place that won’t break.”
“brother. older brother. please.”
“Can I write the lyrics? Hey, I’ll put you in the lead in writing the lyrics. I’m going to do rap making anyway.”
“… … I asked you to do something you didn’t hear, but are you stuffed? Why are people like this?”
Isn’t it said that wounds from people are treated with people? The members take turns looking at the wounds inflicted by Park Joong-woon manager.
I was teasing you, but I think I picked a good place to rely on from the very beginning, that is, from the first day of Kuk Seon-ah.

It’s not a concept problem, actually, I didn’t have time to be engrossed in revenge.
At dawn, there was a recording of Big Blue Lee Joon-hee first, and I had to sleep for a few hours and go to a photo shoot.
I saw the pose of the pictorial that I received while waiting for Lee Jun-hee in the control room of Pom Daffy Entertainment.
“… … this? I?”
really lazy I think I’ll ask you to come back in 5 years after I shoot… … .
While I was gazing at the pose, Junhee Lee waved in front of me.
“Are you taking pictures?”
“Ah, bro. hello.”
I first greeted and answered.
“yes. See you later.”
“later? You must be tired.”
“I’ve already slept a lot.”
I answered and put down the pose proposal. And I told Lee Jun-hee, a pictorial artisan, who would have taken countless pictorials during the promotion period.
“My hyung can’t take selfies, but he looks great.”
“… … .”
Lee Jun-hee, who loses time and words when talking about selfies, avoided his gaze. Then he changed the topic as if he had just remembered.
“Did you find the leaker?”
“Ah yes.”
“Who was it?”
“… … .”
I couldn’t answer right away, so Junhee Lee said.
“Mr. Haewon, the song we are going to sing has leaked, so should I know?”
oh That’s it… … .
“But I think the VMC staff did it. I think.”
“Then you should apologize to the employee as well.”
