”What? What did you say?”

The Team 2 Leader asked with a duhts from this abrupt article were blasted away thanks to the Team 2 Leader Should I say, no matter what my concerns were at this moment, I wanted to concentrate on the Tea at the Teaazes looked like they wanted so the situation, the Teahly pushed employees aside and looked at the screen

”Wh-what the hell is this?!”

”It see to screw over that 'teaood eye'?”

The Team 3 Leader kindly replied

He looked like he atching the world's funniest coh they didn't reveal the teah connections will figure it out Look at this There are tons of upvotes on comments like 'Does that teay?' You're suddenly so famous”

”Wh-what kind of lunatic…!”

The Team 2 Leader's complexion alternated between red and blue as if his blood was flowing in reverse

Not a care for his colleague, the Teaht? Who shot their own team in the back? There are always people like this no matter how many times I tell them to be careful of what they say What aSunwoo! Was it you?!”

As expected, the sparks flew onto to me

I slared at me, and replied,

”No If I had an intervieith a reporter, do you think they would have only asked me stuff like that?”

They probably would have had tons they wanted to ask from my relationshi+p with Nam Joyoon to my nickname as 'Midas's Hand' Also, if I wanted to anonymously spill some secrets about the Team 2 Leader, it wouldn't have ended with such few lines There would be just too s to talk about

Anyways, the Teaed his target

”Then who is it? Which bast-!”

”Don't accuse random people and check your own team”

The Team 3 Leader said, his face now devoid of a s as they knew exactly what you said, it looks like it was one of those who attended thatout whether other teao blow the fire out in your team”

”You-!”

The Team 2 Leader stopped Then he looked around the office Besides Tea at hiazes alternated between the Team 2 Leader and their phones

In the end, the Tea the words that he wouldn't let the bastard who did this off easily

A hs spread in the office I had also begun laughing at so his stoht hihed himself off his chair

”Oh my God This is a monumental embarrassoing to track someone who purposely said that under anonymity? He's the type to care a ton about his reputation He'll be busy with that for a while”

The Team 3 Leader tapped my elbow and whispered,

”Hey, Lucky Charm Was it really not you?”

”I didn't If I did that interview, it wouldn't have ended with e at my answer

”What's so funny here? It looks like I' a crisis”

Tea her call with a publication

She placed her hand on my shoulder and asked in a quiet voice,

”Did you ever receive so frohing

”Never, why?”

”A reporter said he heard so That you received a lot of et hiha They ondering if it was true”

”That's coe sum of money would someone who starved to buy movie tickets have?

This was so ridiculous that it would even ha lose her appetite

”Who's the source?”

”I couldn't figure that out The reporter removed it from his article because he couldn't confirm the facts and wanted to check with me first It seems like there are some people who are jealous of Mr Na would co this, Teae There were a few more articles about Nam Joyoon and me besides the exclusive article just now I concentrated on the articles again

”Tabloids have started publishi+ng already”

Team Leader Park clapped her hands

”Let's quickly send out a press release so that rurow!”

In the blink of an eye, Nas

Alive getting the best opening score, my name, and Team Leader Park's press release/human documentary about Nam Joyoon and me This was the result of all three

Alive appeared on the rankings again as well

SBE Film thanked us for the support and sent out a press release about Na incident It even included Director Choi Sungwon's coet the chance to surface

Co Nam Joyoon increased explosively in a day The pictures that were taken back when Na with his family also spread online, and the nurew

-Who knoho this Nam Joyoon is? Why is someone I've never seen or heard about on the real-tis?

-He was an unknown actor for ten years and is now experiencing ain Alive

-I looked for infor theI think he joined W&U I hope he works hard

-Ah, he beca W&U? The company really is what makes or breaks a celebrity's career

-It's not W&U, but due to Chief Jung Sunwoo's support There's an official article Na didn't give up and stuck with him Then Nam Joyoon became a break-out star in a few months

-The hell? This can't be done by luck He really , please ith me!

Even after Na, my narew as ti articles with the official press release as their base, but at some point, special articles with intervieith pop culture critics and people fro up as well

The articles asked how er had on their success

They implicated Nam Joyoon and ha

I waspeople's reactions to Na Sunwoo, Midas's Hand, digging up talents, secret, 2 years of success Articles, posts, and co

”It's all about Jung Sunwoo”

I heard someone say from behind

A blanket over his shoulders, Ki I looked at the tis had been noisy not long ago, but it was now quiet Only Ki was I sitting here like this?

I rubbed my dry eyes, and Kim Hyunjo sat down next to me and said,

”Maybe you'll be offered a suitcase full of money at this rate?”

”Please don't joke like that”

”It's not a joke though? Don't you knoto succeed? To those unknown singers and actors, I bet you look like a lifeline than a straw”

I frowned

I had already received a ton of call today There was an acting coach who askedas well as calls frohters, sons, nephews, and nieces have been trainees for a few years now

Whenever I received a call like that or read an article about ht decreased by ten centimeters today It wasn't like this in the past, but at so the pressure

”But aren't you going to go ho”

Even if I went home, I didn't think I would sleep a wink

”Why haven't you gone hos sent by the A&R teas I thought, 'They becah we haven't collected all the songs, there are more than their mini-album already The quality is better too I think we'll have a difficult ti tracks”

”What do we do if the albu

It felt like so ti happily, stared at me Wide awake

”Hey, don't say that It's bad luck Even more so if you say it Why? Do you think it'll flop?”

”That's not it, but I'm just a bit worried It's an important album It needs to be a success-”

”And are other albums not important? They are always i you can, yet it soes to flop, then we just need to h it was obvious

”Even if Neptune's alburoup will be disbanded The probleha fans will increase But we can handle that as best we can Now that Songha doesn't an io on an entertainroup… What's with your expression?”

”Pardon?”

”Your expression is very strange”

I didn't know about e

I spoke as onabout e're going to do if it fails Only hoill it not flop, nothing can go wrong We need to make it a success no hts like that”

When did I beco Pretty Girls' future?

While I was thinking this, Kie expression,

”You've never ? Not once?”

”… Nope”

”Maybe that's why It's true your record is aement business, but there's no need to be so focused on that Is your life over if you fail? Nothing happened during the two years after Neptune's debut so a about it now I think I used a bad exahed

”Even CEO Baek, ato break into Hollywood If everything you do works out, then that's abnoro and establish your own co with you”

Ki,

”Don't feel so pressured by the press calling you 'Midas's Hand' and all that Are you some national representative? Just think of it as an extra card in your hand Think about it Thanks to you, Nas”

Kim Hyunjo slapped my back and added,

”That's why you should just enjoy your work Have fun You're going to go bald if you continue at this rate”

I didn't get a wink of sleep

For three days now

However, tonight was different from the past two days Until now, led in knots, but it felt like the knots unraveled a little tonight

I kept thinking about Kim Hyunjo's words

Why did I feel so much pressure? Why was I so stressed?

It was like Kile failure Of course, it would be better if I continued not to fail

However, did I really need to success 'no matter what'?

No matter what, no matter what method I used?

Why did I feel like I had to do whatever it took to succeed? Just why?

After lightening the pressure weighing on radually beca would be a success, it also wasn't predestined for failure either Like Royal Fale would be a success

There was a likely chance that it would succeed even if Neptune sang that song

However, would I be the sa that, could I still scorn Son Chaeyoung's past actions, call Choi Gunyoung a traitor, and consider the Teaht be no different fro as I've been

Let's not dirty my soul and care about whathts, I decided to sleep

-But chief, it seereat mood today?

A reporter I didn't know the name of said in a friendly voice

-Your voice see about it, there's no reason you wouldn't be happy Alive sold more than two million tickets Mr Na on the search rankings yesterday

”That could be the case I slept really well yesterday It was really refreshi+ng”

I replied while driving into an underground parking lot

I was on the phone with reporters allonto the real-tiht has passed Articles were being published at a steady rate, and it would be beneficial to Nam Joyoon if my intervieas referenced in an article

Maybe thinking it was another card in my hand really did help

They say that life depended on one's outlook Let's enjoy work and be happy from today onward

I parked the van and said,

”I have to get on the elevator now If you don't have any more questions…”

-Ah! Chief, just one! One last question!

The reporter hastily replied

-Did you not see anyone after Mr Naht would succeed

Pretty Girls i as you aren't replying right away, I guess you did see so to write an article as soon as you hang up”

-No, I'm just curious! Just curious!

The reporter desperately asked about it, but I ended the call without giving hiine and thought in , I still had the information

The information that the unknown Pretty Girls would be reborn with their next single That they would be first on the charts for at least 2 weeks with the song produced by DOM I also knew that Jung Jae would be so successful that she would be called the 'second Lee Songha'

I felt like I could ood use of this information In a way that both sides could benefit

Now that I thought about it, he ood situation That the girls had to tailor their own outfits because they didn't have the funds to get it done Thinking about how le album…

Just as I decided that I needed to call Chief Lee Taeshi+n, ain It was an unknown number this ti Sunwoo of W&U?

The voice sounded hesitant like she was cautious

I thought she would be fro company or reporter, but she seemed different

”Yes, that's correct Who is this?”

-I a Jae of Pretty Girls We saw each other at a live broadcast not too long ago

Jung Jae?

”Ah… I remember”

My reply was delayed because it was so unexpected

Although I did give her my business card that day, what business did she have withif we could arding Pretty Girls?”

-No, I left Pretty Girls

What?

I jolted up fro Did you say you left Pretty Girls?”

-Yes, because I wanted to ith you

Noas even ?
