Chapter 77 (2/2)
Although I took the girls around to their schedules without Kim Hyunjo these days, er this ti
”Well, I'll do my best”
”Yeah Also, don't forget to talk about Lee Songha's incident during the talk show seg on air, prepare what you're going to say ahead of time”
”Of course, I will But chief,”
I licked my dry lips and asked,
”Is it really okay to mention him on air?”
”It's soher ups Even the CEO personally okayed it Before this airs, the company will also put out a news release
Kim Hyunjo firmly nodded his head
”That's why you don't need to worry about the afterh it's a pity we can't straight up say his naant face”
”Right?”
”Of course”
Kim Hyunjo smiled creepily
As if infected by it, my lips raised into a creepy smile as well
I thought that I had becoer for a few months now, but today felt different
If the majority of celebrities I had seen until noere actors and singers, there were many comedians and TV personalities here today
While going around the dressing roo them, I felt exhausted
Rather than calling it a greeting, it was h Next K-Star was an entertainment shoell, this place was on a completely different level fro said that entertainle
Not long after, the girls, wearing their sponsored clothes, came to me
But one person was
”Where's Seoyoung?”
As if frustrated, LJ clicked her tongue and said,
”She's in the waiting roo her talents one last ti”
”She's practicing again?”
This tiha replied,
”We came out ahead of her since she said she couldn't concentrate with us there”
I was about to go to the waiting room when Lee Taehee held me back
”It seems she's overwhelmed by pressure”
”Pressure?”
Her eyes, which were as calm as lakes, shi+ned orry
”Back ere corams to spread our name Maybe it's because of that, but it see rests on her shoulders She looks like she's feeling a lot of pressure, but she won't talk to us”
LJ and Lee Songha both added in,
”She wasat the shop today She keeps going back and forth like a puppy that has to go Her condition ht so it's concerning she says her condition's great”
”Also, she didn't eatShe didn't even touch her lunch”
”Hmm, okay Go in first and let the chief know”
After leaving the girls behind, I quickly headed to the waiting room
I should have observed her more carefully
Although I did think that she was ht it was because she really wanted to appear on entertain a cheerfully s face?
I i room
No, I stopped before I went in Iht behind the door
”Seoyoung”
”Uh, oppa! I was just about to go!”
Iht as usual However, it was definitely different It was the sa pupils
”Are you very nervous?”
As soon as I asked, I shook her head in a wide motion
”No? I'm fine!”
”No, I don't think you are”
”I really ao quickly, oppa!”
However, unlike her words, Ile step passed the door Her round shoesto its place
”Ah, damn it Why am I like this…?”
She squatted on the floor and covered her head with her arms
I heard sniffling co voice I went inside and closed the door Ihtly Sure enough, tears had welled up in her large eyes
”No, I can't cry The ht run!”
”Ah, really, is it tiht now? You still have time to fix your makeup so it's fine”
I said in the lightest tone I could in order to make her relax a little, but it seemed it didn't help I was flustered and didn't knohat to do
I sat in front of Iaze
”You should have tolda sin or anything, why are you tre room?”
”I was definitely fine I really was But,”
I bit her lips
”This is a really big opportunity It's on a public network, and it's a Lunar New Year's special We'll appear in it for the full hour I always thought that it would be great if we could get an opportunity like this and that I would really do well if we got the opportunity That's why I practiced every day… But I suddenly became scared”
”Why?”
”… We got this opportunity, but what if I suck?”
I thought her voice was shaking, and in the end, a tear fell frohtly closed eyes
The da finally broke and it was instantaneous afterwards A second and third tear dripped
”Euaah, I' to wipe it”
Worried her tear would flon her cheek and ruin her makeup; she positioned her face towards the floor and flailed her arms
I pulled out a few tissues fro roo received them and carefully patted her tears
I kept pulling out tissues as I thought about how I could calm her down
I first patted her shoulders When I did, she quickly shrunk away
”Ah, you can't If you do that, I'll cryyour voice!”
With no other choice, I pulled my hand away and said,
”Will the world collapse if you mess up a little this time? You just need to do better next time Your next album will be released soon and you'll have many opportunities to appear on entertainetting you shows”
”I have to do well this time too I went on entertainha They'll all be thinking that I'll do well”
”What?”
”I'm a stupid dummy…!”
