The soo, quickly read theon his left, and Chief Jung Sunas lost in his thoughts with his hands clasped on his right Producer Choi recalled the conversation he had tenSunwoo arrived
'Are you sure it's okay to push him? It's not like it's so Sunwoo'
'Why are you so cautious around soeuys like you They think they're the best since we treat their top stars well'
'What if they take the reality TV show elsewhere because they are offended? This proposal is good'
'There are two Neptune members on your show We can just put a little pressure on hi that they could be taken off the show'
'Will that work?'
'It'll have to I' this for you, aren't I? I'll be the one to pressure him, so you just play up to hiain from him We need to take every last bit'
At first, Producer Choi felt skeptical, but he slowly began to think General Manager Hwang's words had sos work out and W&U actors will appear on his show and if he could properly utilize Jung Sunho the general public had an eye on… This was soht be changed out fro
Just as his ser”
His voice was cal been looked down upon
”Sponsored idol reality shows are trying to do business with their fans, but our situation is a bit different, is it not? This will be a hot topic It'll get ads, and you hts as Chinese deha's appearance on the show”
”Isn't it still a three or four-part series? There needs to be a bitfrowned
”I ood tiood director and writers, all ant is W&U's wholehearted support I'ood to help each other out But we can't order our top stars around”
Jung Sunwoo , who acted like he was upset, changed his tone,
”Then what about those at a lower level? Who's that actor, the one who's in the news a lot? Nam Joyoon? What if him and you come on the show and share your story? Wouldn't it benefit him as well if we promote him like this?”
”That's true It'll be beneficial, but we are carefully deliberating his entertainht now, and he's not a skilled talker”
”Now really Then let's have Neptune's co an albuht? Since you did it on PBS last ti Sunwoo could reply, General Manager Hwang cut hi, if you keep saying that you can't do this and that, then we'll get upset Internally, people have brought up switching out I and LJ, and if our relationshi+p with W&U sours, that er Why would you bring that up here?”
Producer Choi quickly joined in
”Seoyoung and LJ are part of our fah Why do you keep bringing up hard-working cast members?”
”It's because it feels like we're the only ones who think of the clicked his tongue then left the roo he had toSunwoo's shoulder
”I' because he's our chief producer I' Sunwoo turned to look at hi Sunwoo's expression He had thought he would either be at a loss at what to do or ht it would be one of the two…
But it was neither
”I'm a bit taken aback Can we consider this as IBC's official stance?”
”Not er's stance You kno the higher-ups think I'll try talking with the general ain so please helpand LJ out Of course, we'll push the reality…”
Producer Choi exaain as he tried to persuade hi Sunwoo had a thick smile on his face
”You are Lee Koo, correct? Neptune's road er?”
”Ah, yes That'sroom, stood up The man who approached him had an IBC employee card around his neck He introduced hi hi Sunwoo came to the entertain right now”
”OhI caht over when I heard the news It's been difficult tolike coffee or juice?”
The director asked while holding a can of coffee and juice in either hand
”From what I know, he drinks coffeeabout? He needs to be in a good mood so that I can strike a conversation with hi the conversation when Jung Sunalked out of theroom
The director beauess things ell? He's suess”
Lee Koo mumbled
The director quickly headed over and handed hi! This, I talked to you about it on the phone before This will be a huge success”
”hello”
”We haven't received a timeslot because we haven't confirha says she'll do it, we'll get a tiha to be a sole lead! Don't go anywhere and ith us”
”Hmm, we'll have to see the schedule for any new projects”
”We match your schedule! Call me once you've read the script, okay?”
”Of course, I'll let you know first”
Jung Sunwoo said with a s behind the wistful dra with steadfast steps
Lee Koo followed behind and asked,
”I guess the o well?”
”Why do you think that? I'hed
Taking a step back, Lee Koo scratched his neck, which had broken out in goosebu Sunwoo said,
”It's been a long time since I've been looked down upon like this It's refreshi+ng I feel two years younger”
”Why? Did they say they won't do the show?”
”No, they said they want to, but they want tooto live together, but if ant to live with them, we need to buy the house, appliances, furniture, and a car”
”What the…”
Understanding ent on in the , Lee Koo frowned The battle of wits between broadcasting and ement companies And the tyranny of network producers who held the tioing to do?”
”What do you think?”
All traces of a s Sunwoo's face
”I can't live like that”
I left Lee Koo to go back to the co to Neptune's residence
I opened the door and went in Lee Taehee was standing by the entrance
It was usually Lee Songha
”She's sleeping”
Lee Taehee gestured with her chin as though she read , flopped on the sofa She had an interview early yesterdayas well She has been so busy that it felt like I've only seen her eat or sleep when she wasn't working
”What about the other girls?”
”I think they are sleeping? They haven't left their roo”
”What were you doing?”
”Rice wine is best for rainy days”
Lee Taehee licked her lips before continuing,
”I orking on songs while having a drink”
”Did you tell the others about your songs?”
”No, I plan on telling them once it's decided”
Then she smiled faintly It suited her
She was always like this while she aiting for my reply She was always calm and quiet
However, when I told her that Kis… When I said sorry for the late reply and laughed as I told her she enius…
Lee Taehee's relieved expression was coh she acted like nothing rong, she must have a lot on her mind Also, this probably wasn't liha, as beco a lot of personal fans that negatively affected their group's fanbase This also went for I on entertainment shows
I wondered howburst out her room Her hair was a mess like she had just woken up, and she had a yellow blanket wrapped around her like a cloak Iha's eyes immediately opened, and LJ yawned as she caha have another schedule today? Euahh, but she looks like a coht now”
”I'{1} on your chin”
Lee Songha hastily rubbed her chin
”It was a lie”
Iled Then she asked me,
”Really, why did you come today?”
”To see you”
”Ehh, don't lie!”
”It's true”
I, who shook her blanket in a playful manner, stopped
”Really?”
”I ca aand LJ blinked
We went into LJ's roo's room had no space due to all her stuffed ani equipe were neatly organized on her desk I couldn't tell what they were about as their covers had pictures of shackles or handcuffs on them
We took our places on the chair, bed, and floor when the door creaked open
”Oppa, do you want coffee?”
Lee Songha leaned her head out
”No, it's fine”
”We also have citron tea, ginseng extract, and toe? Why didn't I see the's eyes widened LJ flatly said,
”You should tell her to bring you so It looks she's worried you'll faint fro”
”Then citron tea”
”Please wait a lared at her
”Are you not going to ask us? I' to drink all of oppa's share”
”We have water and barley tea”
”Hey!”:
”It's a joke”
Having gotten her revenge, Lee Songha soon brought over three cups
Taking a sip of citron tea, I looked at I She acted stiffly when I told her I wanted to talk, but she now returned to nor to her cup with both hands, I asked,
”How's the e eyes shook like they were struck by an earthquake
”It… It's good?”
”Is it really? It see restructuring”
”No…”
”A bit”
LJ said
Surprised, I LJ's back
”Hey, what's wrong? It doesn't matter if we talk about it now He's already decided to appear on the show”
”Still…!”
”We need to discuss this once anyways”
She looked at me LJ downed her bottle of water in an instant
”The staff kept going around asking us to get you to appear on the show They only asked me, but it seems they pestered her because she seemed like a pushover Especially the producer He asked e couldn't ask our er to do this and corasoo?”
LJ nodded before adding,
”About that producer”
”Hey, stop it! It's so e to say now?!”
I was nervous as she bounced up and down
”Should I stop?”
I handed her ”
Rain sprinkled on ht diffused through the rain Sitting in the driver's seat, I quietly observed at the scene The incident at the broadcasting co!”
A voice broke the silence Chief Lee Taeshi+n got in the passenger's seat He seemed to have rushed over without an umbrella as his hair et
He clenched his fist once before lowering his head His expression becaht sky
”I'm sorry I haven't found Jae yet She hasn't contacted her hoh school with the dreaer, so she probably doesn't have any friends to spend the night at The other girls signed with another company, but I have no idea where she disappeared off to”

”The article?”
