Save a Failed Idol’s Life

Chapter 22

Oh Yejun was sitting in front of the TV in the living room and playing with a game console when I opened the door and entered.

Sunwoo, who was quietly sitting next to Yejun and staring at the screen, turned around when he heard the door lock sound.

Were back. 

Kyunghwa greeted with a well-organized expression as if he had made up his mind to overcome the painful things in the future.

I dont know exactly what hes thinking. Anyway, it was fortunate that a sense of owner spirit was planted in the team, saying, This team needs me.

Its the same for any company.

When is the most representative moment when a member loses motivation and decides to leave? Thats when they got the impression that they werent needed for this job. 

In other words, theres no motivation other than to make them feel like they were needed for the position. 

Its true that its difficult if you dont actually have it.

There was no other business that could give Kyunghwa a sense of responsibility with just a few words.

As I said, I was still an outsider and was in a position where there was still a lot left to learn.

It was close to impossible to lead the project while controlling these guys who gave me a headache just by looking at them.

Lets turn off the TV and gather in the living room. I have something to tell you about what came out of the meeting.

While Kyunghwa laid the board first, I quickly added.

Sunwoo, please go and get Son Seongwon. 

I opened the laptop I had brought to the meeting to play the file I had emailed earlier. In the meantime, Sunwoo nodded.

Yes, Ill knock and call him!

Even though Sunwoo is not very quick-witted, he cant open Son Seongwons room.

I rolled my head and stared at the closed door to see how to solve that picky tyrant.

Seongwon Hyung, Yise Hyung and Kyunghwa Hyung want to say about todays meeting.  

Sunwoo hesitantly knocked on the door with the back of his hand for a while. 

Seongwon, wearing a headset around his neck, walked out with a frown.

Yejun pouted his lips at the high-handed attitude of looking down at the members while sitting or standing on the sofa.

You sit down too. Because it doesnt seem like it will be a short story.

What do you know? Of course, I cant finish it short. 

I thought Oh Yejun, who was sharp in every case related to Son Seongwon, was also really great. 

Thats possible because hes 22 years old and at the peak of his life.

As you got older, you couldnt do that because dealing with each person you didnt like was energy-consuming.

Yeah, just sit down. I dont think were going to stand and talk.

When Kyunghwa pointed at the seat next to him with his hand, Seongwon snorted once with a disapproving expression.

Then he sat down with his arms crossed tightly as if he couldnt help it.

They were dumbfounded at his attitude, but everyone knew it would do no good to be touched further.

So what was the result?

Oh Yejun asked, stretching his long legs outward as if he couldnt wait any longer.

Kyunghwa first calmly opened his mouth. 

First of all, the comeback schedule is the fourth week of October.

So far, this is what everyone was expecting.

According to the replay video I watched last time, the average active period of Climax is 2 weeks. 

It meant that if the same procedure were followed this time, everything would be arranged as promised within the promised six months. 

It was a situation where we had two weeks to show results that were different from the previous ones.

It means that everything will be sorted out in November.

Seongwon spat out in a voice that didnt feel the slightest bit warm.

In summary, whether it will work or notWe dont know yet.

Sunwoo tried hard to correct it, but it was useless.

For now, thats what happened. I dont think you need to worry about the preparation period because its going to be a digital single without a physical album release.

What?

Yejun immediately raised his eyebrows when he heard that the actual album wasnt coming out.

What will happen to the album score if the album doesnt come out? 

0 points. Because there are no CD sales to count.

I naturally nodded my head at Kyunghwas words as if I knew, even though I didnt know.

Then practicallyShouldnt we give up the music show rankings? 

Kyunghwa hesitated a little before answering Yejuns question.

Were actuallyhad never been nominated for the first place, so I didnt know what the album score was. 

Come to think of it, there was a story like this in the bad comments from the last album.

Its hard to even count the first week sales of the failed idol.

First week sales. I knew it was the total of albums sold the week after release. 

Even sales during that period represent a loyal customer base.

I did a search and found that Floss is also carrying out large-scale joint purchases by fans to increase first-week sales.

Unfortunately, I couldnt find a single person who would purchase Climaxs album jointly.

Its already difficult, but compared to other groups, you have to bear the penalty.

Yejun blatantly showed disappointment. Sunwoo and Seongwon didnt openly distort their expressions, but they couldnt be happy. 

Because there are many groups that won first place even without an album score. 

Do you think it would be us? 

While Kyunghwa was trying to relieve the stiff atmosphere, Seongwon made things go wrong.

It was my turn to intervene, having been listening all along.

Anyway, thats how it happened. I heard about 3 sample songs, but one seems to have been rejected while preparing for another group. The other one was too low quality, so I picked the best one. 

I turned the screen of the brightly lit laptop so that everyone could see it.

As soon as the meeting was over, the e-mail sent by the planning team staff opened with a few clicks, and the download started. 

I dont think the song is bad. I think Seongwon knows this song, too. 

Then, in an instant, Seongwons handsome face frowned in question.

What? 

I pressed the play button at the right time and put my index finger over my lips as I did it. 

~-

Listening to Seongwons voice a little while ago, it was clear that he was slightly younger than now. 

Has it been some time since he recorded it? As soon as a short reasoning came to mind, Seongwons expression distorted.

Where did you get this?

Where did you get this? Of course, I got it from the planning team. I couldnt understand why he was so sensitive right now.

The planning team gave it to me. The other sample didnt seem right, so I chose this one.. 

Then, Seongwon bit his lip with a very complicated expression.

This 

This what? Shouldnt you finish what youre saying? As I waited for his next words with my eyebrows raised, Seongwon closed the laptop with his hand.

What are you doing.

Yejun shouted nervously before me.

I cant sing this.

What?

What?

Everyone was bewildered by Seongwons sudden boycott declaration. Seongwon stood up as everyone looked up at him in shock, like a dog chasing chickens. 

If youre going to do this, Ill leave.

Hey what nonsense are you talking about? Is group activity a joke? You have to explain it, you suddenly sat down with bullshit. 

Yejun got up and growled like he was going to grab Seongwon by the collar right away.

Fortunately, he didnt really grab his collar, so I could breathe a sigh of relief on my own.

Im going crazy. Why is this b*stard suddenly like this?

I read the atmosphere around me to figure out what the hell this was all about, and then I said in a low voice. 

System.

Wang! 

Posil waggled its tail happily as if it had been waiting for a long time. 

As expected, dogs are cuter than cats.

I didnt mean to do it in this situation, but it suddenly came to mind since Yejun was in front of my eyes. 

Replay service, can I use it now?

[Would you like to purchase the replay service?]

[Yes/No]

It was a yes without looking further. The surroundings instantly turned black and white, stained with darkness.

When my eyes brightened again, I was in a space that looked like a recording studio.

Wang! 

When I lifted up Posil, who happily barked at me, I felt a solid frame, unlike the cat. 

Hehehe.

Is it because I hugged it? Posil lifted its snout as if excited and tried to lick my chin.

Stay still. The service is playing.

As I was hugging Posil, who had become quiet after being scolded, I heard the sound of something being thrown in the recording studio.

I dont understand what the manager is saying.

It was Seongwon with a young face that made me wonder if he had just graduated from middle school.

I know you are upset. Since the CEOs instructions came out like that, theres nothing we can do about it. I am sorry.

Then, Seongwon strongly protested as if he couldnt understand. 

You said I passed the preliminaries. You said I would go on air from September. 

I said you could go on air. You know that we dont have control over broadcast editing, so its not something that can be confirmed.

What kind of broadcast are you talking about? When I wondered about it for a moment, Posil barked and turned my attention to the wall with its snout. 

[Teenager Singer Star]

[Scheduled to air from September]

What should I think if you say that when Ive done all the preparation for the music but cant appear on the broadcast?

Since you are still young, there will be many opportunities, and you can go out next season instead of this season. Dont make me look bad because you said something you dont like when adults come later. Im saying this because I want you to do well.

Teenager Singer Star was a program where the guy who was the main vocalist of Floss went out and gained popularity. 

Looking at the situation, I dont know what season Seongwon was in, but it seemed like he was preparing to appear. 

However, it failed due to some kind of issues between adults, and the prepared song was eventually discarded. I guess thats the story. 

I put Posil down on the floor gently and looked at the file name in the editing program.

[Drink me]

Yeah. The file name was like this before. Since the first one was reused, I thought the second and third were still new drafts. 

Rather, it was a much older rehash than the first.

The CEO is making plans for you to debut sooner or later. Dont be too disappointed and wait a little longer.

Seongwon, who still couldnt let go of his anger, was left alone in the studio.

Is it because hes young? He couldnt control his anger, and soon I heard a sobbing sound.

If only there were things that could be solved by crying, life wouldnt be this hard.

Tsk, I clicked my tongue lightly while leaning against the wall.

If its a song with this background story, I didnt understand why he acted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. 

But you punk. You have to tell everyone what the story is so they will understand.

And even if there was a story, I couldnt change the song now. 

No more, no less, because I had been arguing with the team leader about what to do with this an hour ago.

It was the same that we couldnt back down either.

How am I going to convince him of this now.

[Replay Service End of July 29, 18 years old]

I whistled lightly and returned to reality.
