Chapter 14


    #014. C-ss Main Dancer


    There were two ways.


    I forgot how to dance like a lie after the ident.


    Or that my movements have be stiff because of a herniated disc.


    The former was an awkward and strange excuse for anyone to see, and thetter is a health issue, so Im sure its understandable right now.


    <i>What? Then wouldnt it be hard to prepare for theeback right now?</i>


    Thinking about Sunwoo and Yejun, who were surprised, I couldnt readily make excuses for my body.


    <i>ModeratelyWouldnt it be nice to mix the two?</i>


    I put the console down on the table and said, pretending to be okay.


    I said I wasnt feeling very well today. Ive lost my touch after rehabilitation, so Im thinking of taking separate lessons and practicing.


    Then, as expected, Yejun responded with a shocked expression.


    But its not to the extent your condition dropped, right!? Missing all the beats, not understanding the movements at all, whats with that reaction speed? Manager Hyung is faster than that!


    I know youre surprised. But you talk too harshly, you punk.


    I answered, feeling that each word had turned into a dagger and flew coldly into the air.


    Ill put my feeling back on until I start practicing again in earnest. You dont need to worry.


    I felt a sense of crisis at the thought that I had to raise the dance level first by polishing the system.


    Of course, I expected them to be surprised. It wasnt quite as formidable an opponent as one that could be avoided.


    Yejun twitched his raised eyebrows, unaware that the sky was high.


    Isnt it because your waist hasnt healed yet?


    Then he shouted at Sunwoo.


    Hey, Na Sunwoo! Hold on to Hyungs arm.


    <i>What?</i>


    I backed away from the sudden development. What are you trying to hold on to?


    I tried to run straight to my room, but it was faster for Sunwoo to block in front of me.


    To be exact his massive physique naturally became a barrier and blocked me.


    Good job!


    Yejun stroked Sunwoos ck hair and suddenly rushed toward my waist.


    What are you doing!


    It was the first time I had made such a loud noise since living in the dorm.


    Are you really good enough to be active?


    While Suwoo held my arms, Yejun hit me in the back with his hand.


    Reflexively, the body bent to the other side.


    Crazy bastard, where is the person who doesnt move forward like this?


    I barely got up, resolving inwardly that this was a child and that I shouldnt try to fight like a child.


    All right! Ill be back in shape in two weeks and will be examined, so dont do anything weird!


    Then, Yejun stared at me with a suspicious expression.


    Theres no way Yise Hyung could end up like this just because of his physical condition! Are you really okay?


    Sunwoo rolled his eyes after eventually letting go of my arm because I struggled.


    I told you to focus on your diet and do well.


    I flicked Sunwoos forehead.


    Ouch! Because our center is Yise HyungThe choreography this time will also be centered around Yise Hyungs dance break I cant help but be worried, right.


    No. I was definitely going to stop that.


    If it were going to hit the jackpot by doing the same thing as before, it would have happened long ago.


    As part of Climaxs identity, it had to be cleaned up so that only its good points were left.


    Although I still have to learn a lot about the idol industry.


    It was simple to think of the center as the main promotion line.


    <i>Of course Im an expert at this.</i>


    Anyway, if a product that will be sold is not excluded from the promotion, it goes well even if it is removed as a sub-line.


    Therefore, Oh Yejun is excluded from the center for now. Ryu Kyunghwa is an exemry type, but he has no exceptional talent.


    Even if it is hung on the main page, it is difficult to expect the best effect without a shot that will catch customers attention at once.


    If its the visual of confidence, is it Na Sunwoo or Son Seongwon, a vocalist who cant be beaten with his skills, even if hes tough with his personality.


    <i>First of all, Ill have to decide by seeing how far Na Sunwoo can pull out, thats it.</i>


    It was not something to decide right away. Its a matter that needs to be discussed with thepanys nning department.


    Because its not toote to think and decide after finding out how far Cheon Yise can go.


    Thats something you dont have to worry about anymore. When did I ever worry you about something like this?


    Iforted Sunwoo, whose face was flushed as if he would cry if I touched him right away. And I said a word to Yejun.


    You too. Dont make a big deal. Well see if Im okay or not.


    I calmly cleaned up the mess and headed for the kitchen.


    W, where are you going?


    Sunwoo hurriedly followed me.


    To prepare lunch and dinner in advance. Today is the start of PT, so dont go through the other way.


    Sunwoo decided to take PT separately from me starting today. I searched carefully and chose a ce where there was no snack shop in the building.


    Because its meaningless to work out and go home after eating a lot of fried food at a hot dog restaurant on the first floor.


    I also decided to share the PT curriculum. The instructor is also famous as a male instructor, so I could trust him.


    Yes! I wont take any other route and just work out hard!


    Sunwoo barely nodded his head after getting over his shock at seeing something that looked more like a struggle than my dance.


    Are you going to do more of that?


    I looked back at Yejun in the living room and asked. Yejun shook his head.


    No. Even Hyung says he wont do it, Im tired, so Ill stop here.


    It was the next month when thepany said they would attach staff to prepare for a full-fledgedeback.


    It was still a grace period.


    Do you have a separate schedule for today?


    Son Seongwon said he woulde in after dinner, and Ryu Kyunghwa-.


    <i>Can I have dinner properly in that state?</i>


    I can just boil the stew and fill it up. Its not that Im sick. Its just muscle pain all over my body.


    Ah~. Im going to eat ande back. You dont have to worry about mine.


    Yejun went back into the room and set up the game console while he looked disappointed as if the steam had leaked.


    Where are you going?


    Without realizing it, the question popped up first as if I were a guardian. Then Yejun smiled, despite the worry that he might be in a bad mood.


    Secret


    What do you mean by a secret? Thats disgusting.


    I was dumbfounded, but I turned my head without showing it.


    Donte back toote.


    My sess as an idol andultimately, theyre essential for revenge.


    If something went wrong, it would be a big deal.


    You dont have to worry. I dont run into idents anywhere.


    Even if you dont get into an identI couldnt help but be worried if Iy down like that all day like Kyunghwa.


    Especially that guy because they say he is close with rappers.


    If the most recognizable member was caught up in a problem that could be seen in public, it was a disaster.


    Wake up or sleep, be careful of people!


    I patted Yejun on the shoulder and warned him.


    Yees, yees. anyone who sees it will think youre my parents.


    Even though I was not their parent, I was around the same age as them. Although I may be a bit younger than them.


    Soon after, Yejun went, and Sunwoo went out as it was. Only me and Kyunghwa were at home.


    <i>Its quiet because the noisiest guys go out.</i>


    I checked that the door to Kyunghwa and Yejuns room was firmly closed and entered my room.


    System,e out.


    A transparent status window appeared as I spoke with my arms crossed and looked up into the air.


    <i>Wang!</i>


    As if Posil had been waiting, he circled and greeted me.


    Can the level of a characteristic be raised only with crystals?


    Within two weeks, I had to raise my dance and performance levels to B-ss or higher.


    When preparations for a full-fledgedeback began, I could no longer make excuses because I was in poor condition.


    [Tutorial 2 > Sub Quest  Do you want to start Dance Level Improvement Special Training?]


    [Yes/No]


    The answer was yes without further thought. With one simple gesture, the status window that had been flickering in front of my eyes disappeared.


    Then again, I think something will suddenly pop out.


    I couldnt shake my doubts, and while I was waiting with my arms crossed, the phone rang.


    This is Cheon Yise, I received your call.


    While bringing the phone close to my ear, I checked the callers name was [Manager Hyung].


    Oh, Yise-ya. How are you doing with the kids? Are there any inconveniences?


    I said something that was kind of reassuring and then looked into what I was curious about.


    Yeah, Im okay. Its fun to be with the kids. I wish we could start theeback song concept meeting soon, but it still takes more time, right?


    Yeah, until this month, its Flos activity period, so its a situation where all the staff is attached. First, I asked the nning team toe up with a schedule quickly.


    Im not sure how much of a position Cheon Yise is within the agency.


    There was nopany that would prioritize the project to a group of people who didnt care about it.


    It was the same even if I was the head of thepany. Business is not childs y.


    Okay. Oh, and Hyung.


    From now on, it was actually the real main point.


    Could you personally attach a dance trainer to me? A calm and quiet person.


    What I needed now was someone who would teach me the basics, not a star trainer with a shy resume.


    And its best if its a quiet person who wont go anywhere unnecessarily.


    Well, thats not difficult. When do you need it?


    The sooner the better.


    The deadline that was made by mistake was two weeks, and it had to be raised to a level better than average.


    * * *


    Huh! The front digit, its changed!


    Sunwoo, like Sunwoo, and I, like mine, passed through the tough two weeks in an instant.


    For the past two weeks, Ive had to dance six hours a day listening to Climaxs past singles.


    Thanks to that, I became a dancing robot without a soul.


    Its not that I dance perfectly like a robot. Maybe my body moved faster than I thought because I listened to it, watched it, and danced to it so much.


    <i>UhmI think this is a bit serious. Is it true that your physical condition has really recovered?</i>


    On the first day of lessons, which I started without telling the members. I still cant forget the trainers shocked expression.


    <i>The level of Yise-gun right now isAt this level, you cant go on My Idol Stage. You cant even get an F grade.</i>


    <i>My Idol Stage</i> was a survival audition program that hit the jackpot on a cable program.


    <i>Flows</i>, a group where thepanys manpower is in full swing right now, was also a group that debuted through that program.


    Still, I took these two steps up and raised it to C.


    I didnt want to even think about the disaster that would have happened if I had stayed in E all along.


    I was able to see that the trainers sigh and the fact that I worked hard at the given task saved me.


    <i>Great! Now that I seem to have memorized all the moves, lets learn little by little starting with show points.</i>


    Even the trainer, who had only sighed at first, praised me little by little at the end of the two weeks.


    I thought I could easilyplete the sub-quest and raise the grade.


    It seemed that I had to learn by moving my body myself, as if I was told not to expect luck.


    <i>The dance line has improved a lot. Dont forget to practice. Compared to the video when Yise-kun was in full condition, its still a long way off.</i>


    The dance grade increased to B and the performance grade increased to D at the same moment the subquest ended.


    [Congrattions on clearing Sub Quest  Special Training to Improve Your Dance Grade. Achievement Celebration Points +100]


    It wasnt a low point, butit was too cheap for two weeks of hard work.


    With the new crystal, I turned the performance grade without hesitation.

    Yise Hyung! I, front digit, now eight!


    If this guy loses about 10kg more I was able to reassure myself a little bit.


    So, whats left in the short term is.


    2 weeks. It was until yesterday, remember?


    Yejun came out into the living room and was holding a game console in his arms.


    [The wild Oh Yejun has applied for a dance battle! What will you do?]


    What do you mean what do I do? It was time to prove the results of the two-week special training.
