Chapter 98 (2/2)

”I told you that I'll be bringing Neptune and to wait… Where did they go?”

When the Sugar Cats' chief and the producer went out to look for thee room Out of habit, I checked for any cameras Fortunately, there were none

Since eren't in a relationshi+p where ould greet each other when nobody was around, I sat on the eh she had some sort of terminal illness if she didn't lash out at Neptune, no, I, Han Saetbyeol snorted as she said,

”Seoyoung, I can't tell if you have good or bad luck, right?”

”Me? I think this is the luckiest I've been in the 22 years I've lived, why?”

Ied her shoulders

What was interesting was that her atar Cats If she was like a fragile bowl in front of us, she was currently a strong stone pot

Han Saetbyeol blinked as she continued,

”No, what I mean is, you were really lucky to reach first place on the music charts, but you just had to have us as your coet first place on the ood or bad-”

”Even if your tongue is short, you need to speak properly”

Leisurely leaning against the sofa, LJ joined in

”Did I not tell you last time? Our competitor is BYG Even on your door, BYG's name was above yours”

”That's because they are our seniors! But why do you constantly cut into our conversation?”

”Oh, that was conversing? I thought you were just speaking nonsense”

After saying that, LJ glanced between I,

”There are no people or cameras here”

”Yeah, I know”

I nodded ha handed me

If a uselessly fa, it could becoed between girl groupout

LJ looked at each of the Sugar Cats members and said,

”LetWhy do you hate her so much? I've been with her for more than three years, but she's not the type to receive such resentment?”

Hearing her words, even Ihtly interested

Breaking the silence, a ar Cats with a provocative expression said,

”The way she acts is a bit, you know So full of herself, doesn't pay attention to thethrough, she alone was easygoing, as though she was confident in debuting at any time because she was different from us”

Her words weren't siue was like a sword I was about to stop this conversation because I didn't think this would end in a si shook her head Then she asked the Sugar Cats members,

”When was I like that? Since everyone was so anxious, I thought that I at least shou-”

”That's being full of yourself You've always looked down at us because you were the center and better at singing and dancing than us Ah, but now that I think about it, you're sort of in the saoes around”

The Sugar Cats irls as she said,

”There, the visual center is someone else, they have a lead vocalist who can write and cohtly talented rapper They are all h to succeed on their own, but, since you're in the , you don't have any-”

”There's nothingIt'll only tire our ears”

I clicked 's face beca, flinched in surprise and shrunk aith expressions asking what I was going to do While I had thought that they were hateful all this time, I really wanted to pour filthy water on them

”Why are you all so interested in others?”

”… We were only saying that because orried for Seoyoung”

”You don't have to We are already looking after her here”

Lee Taehee, who had been silent, said while frowning

Then she clicked her tongue and patted I's shoulder

”You h while you were on that team”

I sincerely agreed with her If I were aht have beco didn't debut with them and became a member of Neptune

Next to ha also added,

”If it wereat them”

With their eyes narrowed, the Sugar Cats ain when LJ kicked the table leg and said,

”You talk a lot about how you were jealous”

”What? No, that's not it She-!”

After shooting a glance at I, Han Saetbyeol looked back at LJ and shot back,

”But people , huh? Don't you understand e're saying? You also don't like her much”

”Me?”

LJ, who had been composed, widened her eyes at her words

”Yeah, it's noticeable, you know? I can tell you don't like her at a glance”

”I' all sorts of nonsense today Why don't you just screw on a new pair of eyes?”

”You-!”

Just then, it seemed the BYG members arrived as a loud, muffled commotion could be heard fro roo expression and said,

”Either way, since we are going to be first today, why don't you target IBC's ht Don't they hold a vote beforehand? If you want to place first, it'll be better if you wait until we end our performances on music broadcasts”

Ear-shattering screams erupted from the audience

Neptune, the Sugar Cats, and BYGarea to the left of the stage as they greeted the audience and said their predeterirls' voices because the BYG fans' screams were too loud

I approached the Neptune fans gathered at the edge of the fan seating area below the stage While, in terroup fans, they were still fans who had come all this way to support Neptune

”Manager! Did you vote?”

The fans who discovered me murmured in surprise I nodded at the words of the fehom I was quite familiar with

”Of course, I did How about you guys?”

”We already did it before Since it's their first ti all that we can!”

”We are encouraging others to vote on fan sites and the review sections on music chart sites! Just! Why! Don't ?! Whether they become first or not hands on that!”

The woman who I had seen so often that I even re', shouted while sto well

My phone, which was intextKi that they all voted Even though they said they didn't get their hopes up, it see the live broadcast

After a short rean

Because of the incident before, everyone's y into their performance They were especially passionate today It wasn't just the fans in Neptune's fan seating area, other spectators cheered while waving their cheering items

By the tihtly refreshed

After peacefully waiting in our waiting for about twentythe first place announcement

The Sugar Cats and BYG were already on stage next to the MCs Other solo artists and idol groups that perforathered behind them

Before they got up on stage, Lee Songha said in a quiet voice,

”I ere first today”

”I know, right?”

Lee Taehee nodded her head In a quiet voice, so others couldn't hear, I said that, since the Sugar Cats would probably be sick in bed if we becah a video call

Lastly, LJ, who said that she didn't hold any expectations, said passingly,

”If we're first, then I' to tap dance with the trophy in my hand in front of those jerks”

The girls went up on stage

I stood ast other related people and staff hts A jib cairls' heads A closeup of the girls appeared on the LED screen behind the stage

The LED screen displaying the various singers changed into a co up the points

It displayed rows for digital sales, albu points as well as the totals, displayed largely on the botto cheers in the open hall, the row of points appeared one after another

I had planned to quickly add it up in it nuave up and stared at the coraphic
