”Ms Jung Jae, I have never acceptedyou I know that there are brokers for this, but I didn't knoho to contact so I contacted you directly If you find it troublesome to talk on the phone, I'll wait for you If you let me knohen you're free, I'll…
”Wait, wait There's nothing troublesome, and I don't have a broker I don't knohere you heard all that from, but they are all baseless ruh That even Nam Joyoon sunbae used this method…
”Those are baseless rumors Malicious, nonsensical ru? The PR Team spread a detailed press release, and I even did an interview SBE Filwon coan more uneven
It was so clear that I could tell she was agitated without her saying anything
”Don't think about anything strange, you need to prepare for Pretty Girls' next albu up
I tried calling back, but her phone was turned off What a bolt out of the blue It had only been a few minutes since I decided to throw

The Pretty Girls' company nu up when so, nasally voice She wasn't si On top of that, I could hear others crying in the background
What was going on now?
”Is this not Chief Lee Taeshi+n's phone nuht now He left his ph-phone here…!
”Wait Please calm down Are you a er Heeuuu… It's dead
”What?”
-We are disbanding…!
Chief Lee Taeshi+n was squatting in a dark washroom
His phone slipped in his hands fro to take my hands off the project so if you want to continue, continue on your own
”President, no, hyung!”
-Jung Jae left and Yoon Bora and Park Hyojin are packing their bags, right? Then that's the end of it
The president said leisurely Chief Lee Taeshi+n cracked open the washroohts shi+ned in his eyes, and he could hear people sniffling He looked outside with bloodshot eyes
It was a sh school members of Pretty Girls were curled up on their beds Their faces were buried in their knees Their crying voices leaked out from within Their petit shoulders tres in their luggage carriers
-Only the dregs are left now that the useful ones have left What can we do with thes? How can you say that to these girls who put their lives into…!”
Chief Lee Taeshi+n haltedat him
-Anyways, I want out so don't callup with a yawn Chief Lee Taeshi+n tried calling back, but his phone was turned off He rubbed his face with his stiff hands before getting out of the washroolanced at his
”Hyojin, Bora”
”Don't try to stop us We've already decided”
Park Hyojin said coldly
”Don't think about dragging us doith the contract either The president said that we could leave anytier support our rent, utilities, and food”
”We asked a lawyer, and he said there's no legal issue”
Yoon Bora added ary eyes
Chief Lee Taeshi+n clenched and opened his hands
”I' up the contract Just, we decided to put our all into this single Let's at least do this Just this once We already got a song”
”A song from some unknown producer?”
His face distorted
”… I'writer I' is the best out of all the title tracks we've had so far It'll be a waste to throw it away now So please trust me once more and-!”
”I can't trust you”
Park Hyojin turned to look at Chief Lee Taeshi+n
”I can't trust you”
”What?”
”We've already flopped three times! On top of that, Jae unni left Anyone who looks at this situation will know it's hopeless, but you want to try onceto debut as a different team, yet you want us to waste our time even more?”
”Why do you only think about yourself? Don't you think that disbanding right now is the best for us? I' out to find a path for myself so don't try to stop h school lared at the adulttoo harsh? Don't you kno much the chief has endured for us?”
”And we didn't? It h schoolers”
The high schoolrean fighting loudly
”Stop, stop it”
Pale-faced, Chief Lee Taeshi+n tried to stop them
Then he asked the adultto do once you leave the teas without deciding anything?”
Yoon Bora added with a proud expression,
”Suran is in NK Entertainroup that's about to make a debut…”
”What? NK? Suran joined NK?”
Chief Lee Taeshi+n hurriedly held Yoon Bora's shoulders
”I clearly told her not to-!”
”Are you even trying to block the path of athere too”
Park Hyojin added
”NK is apparently looking for people with experience in perforht debut right now”
”I know their CEO's o there!”
Chief Lee Taeshi+n shouted, aghast
”Racy outfits that reveal your breasts and thighs Sensual choreography They fil to send you on programs that ask what your sexual preferences are! How can you think about joining such third-rate-!”
”What's wrong with that?”
Park Hyojin asked as if she found this aus appearances on shows What's wrong with a sexy concept? That's a tactic as well Isn't it ain people's attention and spread our names?”
”Hyojin!”
”Also, this place is also third-rate No, this place is worse Everyone besides you and those girls know that the president brought Jae unni out when he went to drink with investors”
Chief Lee Taeshi+n's eyes flared His phone slipped froh school h they had just woken up frohtmare
”… What do you mean by that?”
”Why don't you ask the president?”
The adult irls alking out the door, Chief Lee Taeshi+n said in a tre on, why didn't you tell me…!”
”Why do you think?”
Park Hyojin said while opening the front door
”If Jae unni can nab a sponsor, then our team can beco back
The sound of rolling wheels quickly grew distant
”bastard This bastard…!”
Chief Lee Taeshi+n hastily slipped his shoes on
”Chief! Wh-where are you going?”
”I'll be right back so stay here Don't cry too h school members were the only ones who re with blank expressions Tears endlessly fell fro
It was Chief Lee Taeshi+n's phone that had fallen below the beds
The member closest to the phone answered the phone
-He-hello?
Not long after, someone knocked on their door
The exhausted members stared at the door with shocked expressions
”The-there isn't anyone ould knock?”
”Was he for real? Did he really come?”
”What do we do? Shouldn't we call the chief?”
”How can we call him when he left his phone here?”
While they were taken aback, there was another knock on the door
”Open the door first! We'rehim wait!”
Two of them wiped the tears off their faces, and the one ot up and opened the door Wearing a disheveled wool coat and with sunglasses tightly held in his hand, ain front of the door like he had run up the stairs
Chief Jung Sunas standing in front of the door
Three members with childish features stared up at h they were taken aback What a sight Their faces were red and their eyes were swollen They looked like goldfish One even had the hiccups
One of them, who had a blank expression, abruptly shouted,
”One, two, three! hello! We are Pretty, Pretty…!”
The girls stiffened and stopped their nasal-voiced chant Still bowing, they raised their heads to reveal tears flowing down like rain I was a mess, but they looked like they were cos”
”Dregs?”
The girls nodded gloomily
I was led inside their apartment It was a mess All their household items were sprawled on the floor Someone unfamiliar with the situation would think they were robbed
I tried to understand as going on first The girls sat around hout their explanation, they used a toilet roll to wipe their tears, blow their nose, and wail like the sky was failing
No, to them, the sky really did fall
Since their team suddenly split in half
I was astonished too How could things cos went as expected, they would be revitalized with their new single That ould have happened How did everything scatter to the wind in a single day?
Let's recall froht I was interested in her and believed the rumor that I would work for a price so she left her teah they had been waiting for this opportunity
Now all that was left was these three me at Jung Jae a bit longer Thatpoint
What kind of shi+tty butterfly effect was this?
”But- hick, sorry”
The member to my left held back her hiccup and continued,
”Why have you cooldfish looked at me
What should I do?
What would be the best way to clean up this predicament?
I had a calthe keypad outside The meloom were present on their faces
The door opened
Chief Lee Taeshi+n entered
It seemed he had a scuffle with the president as his lips were busted and his appearance was a mess
”Chief!”
”What happened to your face? Were you hurt?”
”It's nothing Did you hear back from the other membe- Huh?”
Chief Lee Taeshi+n stiffened when he discoveredhow confused he was, I walked over to him and said,
”hello, chief”
”How are you, no, why have you come here?”
”I called you and a …”
”Ah! Thank, no, sorry You must be busy, yet you came all the way here…!”
He trailed off Then he stared at an to shi+ne He rushed over toin a swairl group after Neptune?”
”Plans?”
”If you do, could they audition to be trainees?”
He gestured to the lance, they are really kind, hard-working girls They never said they wanted to give up after all they went through Even when their unnis fought, they acted cautiously and didn't cry once”
Chief Lee Taeshi+n's eyes were getting teary as well
The three Pretty Girls held his ar
”If you aren't, could I ask you to introduce us to some other companies? I just don't have the ability… If you help us, I would do whatever it takes to repay this debt”
He said while bowing his headcries and request rang in my ears
Then my frantic mind finally came to a decision
Yeah, let's try it
