Chapter 18 (2/2)
”Okay Don’t worry too much, oppa”
”Sunwoo and Gunyoung You guys keep an eye out for the girls too”
”Yes”
I wasn’t the type to watch a lot of entertainate the process was rams
It looked like they would edit aggressively and purposely create controversy It even looked like they would plan to et insulted to increase the popularity of the program
Because of this, there were a few that went on interviews crying while saying that they were the sacrificial la process and also, some who took to social media to fire shots at the producers
I hoped that it wouldn’t happen to Neptune
I didn’t know if they received insults due to the aggressive article or if there was so else I hoped that I could find sons of that happening
It was like it was teasing
Not much time had passed e arrived at the Next K-Star studio In the concert hall-sized studio, the staff were installing all the ca sure everything orking
Since we caroups hadn’t arrived yet
We ht to the interview roohts were installed and some staff, as well as Producer Joontae and a writer, were present
While theon their mics, we talked with the producer and the writer To be exact, Hyunjo was the one talking while Gunyoung and I stood beside him
”Please take good care of us, Mr Producer”
”Why does everyone ask me to take care of theraressive It’s pretty much a documentary”
Like hell it is
And quickly Producer Joontae proved his words were false He would first set thehts on participating in Next K-Star,’ ‘are you confident in getting a high score,’ ‘out of the other seven teams, ould you consider your rivals,’ and then he suddenly handed out a piece of paper
”What does Neptune think the final ranking would be? From first to last, you just need to write down a rank for each team and why”
”Wow… We need to write the reason as well?”
”Just a si to be anonymous so don’t worry”
”Is this really anony to announce it as Nept-- teaht?”
”Hahaha We will ensure your anony to exclude the na you know, five out of the seven chose Neptune as last place”
Seoyoung who relaxed the h she was able to quickly settle herself down once Taehee nudged her arht on camera
”I’ll read you just a few ‘Neptune is a group with only looks Without that, I don’t know,’ ‘They are participating not because of their potential, but because of their coroup that appeals through looks rather than skills’ So like that How are they?”
I orried they ht
This ti
”Just like how other groups think, not h expectations for us In soood A story is fun when it has a twist Since we are able to leave a big ih our efforts, I like to believe we received a chance that other teams didn’t”
I didn’t know because she didn’t talk
Because she looked confident and cool without trying, she looked trustworthy in the interview Like a generous type? I understood why Hyunjo wasn’t worried about Taehee
But, that’s that Although they said it was anonyht
Since they had to consider the iht they would be easier than the survival audition progra to be tough
When I looked to the side, Hyunjo’s expression wasn’t good
”Jung Sunwoo”
”Yes?”
”Go to the washroom”
What in the world was he talking about?
”Go to the washroom?”
”Soood happened to you when you went to the washrooo to the washroo”
”…Are you serious?”
”I aht now”
I was half-forcefully chased out of the interview room
Well, I was going since he told me to, but I was at a loss for words…
I acted like I was deep in thought and walked around the entrance of the washroo happened There continued to be nothing froht ability
daive up
Since I was at the washroo my hands, I walked towards the interview room
”Hey”
At first, I didn’t realize that it was meant for me, but I stopped when I heard the next words
”Hey, Neptune’s er!”
When I turned around thetowards me
Since it was quite for a few days, I had forgotten about it, but he really did come
”I caroup that W&U planted in… when I saw so around You’re that asshole froht?”
To coht with me, did this person have too much time on his hands?
”You’re that asshole that atching in front of the washroom Did you sturoup? I saw the articles the next day, you ht, huh? Huh? Just where did this fucking bastard with no ethics come from? Did they teach you that in W&U?”
I was a bit surprised since it had been so long since I had seen so me so publicly
When I looked at s, the only people present were that man and myself
I wasn’t confident in fighting… But that didn’t mean I should obediently turn the other cheek when I was already sworn at
”I don’t think that I did anything to get sworn at”
”What, you asshole?”
The Leer tapped my chest
”Just what did you say to ain”
”It wasn’t like I bribed Producer Joontae to replace Lemon Girls with Neptune, I only took the chance since it was there… When I think about it again, I don’t think I did anything that deserved getting sworn at”
”What, you asshole?”
I said it again since you asked me to, you asshole
”Why are you letting out your frustrations on a stranger?”
”fuck, I was already pissed, but you pissed et hit, do you? Huh? Are you going crazy to get hit?”
His figure looked even bigger now that I was in danger With those thick arot hit
Maybe… Just ht be hospitalized…
”Hit me, then”
”What?”
”Hit et interviewed by a reporter”
I’ll need to call Reporter Park Yoojeong
”Just where did this crazy asshole come from?”
