92 The Live


    With an uninterested face, he wore his ck formal Oxford shoes with brown socks and came out of his room. The whole house was in chaos. Korain was pushing and pulling everyone out of their room and throwing them out near the pool area where make-up artists were waiting for them.


    The light team, sound team and camera team were getting their set ready.


    “Oh, finally. Hurry up!” shouted Korain at Kyung-Soo.


    “Yes, yes, Hyung,” Kyung-Soo spoke and ran to get his make-up done.


    All the boys sat in the chair and let the artists do their work on their faces. After a light make-up, the boys were ready for the live streaming.


    The production team was behind the cameras. The theme chosen for the live streaming was a board meeting. All the boys were dressed in three-piece suits and were looking charming. Fake, cardboardsptop andputers were near them as decorations. Thae was given a pad to read thements from. A round table was set up for them making it seem like they were in a meeting. A Monopoly game was ced in the middle for them to y and talk.


    All over the world, ASDians were waiting for them to go live. They too wanted to hear what Kyung-Soo had to say about the rumours. He didn’t have the time to check but he was going viral on themunicator app and the inte was buzzing about him and the actress.


    Some fans were supporting him saying that even if he was with the actress, it was his life and everyone should leave him alone. Some dived into their detective genes and started specting about how the man was not Kyung-Soo but someone who had his frame and stature. Many found out that the present hair of Kyung-Soo was ck but the man on the beach had bluish-ck hair.


    Even after K&Q gave out a statement, no one was satisfied. They all wanted to hear from Kyung-Soo’s mouth. All were waiting eagerly for Kyung-Soo to clear the air. He already had a scandal before and now again something was up.


    .....


    All sat and looked at the producer. The producer signalled them and the live started.


    “Annyeonghaseyo! Hello everyone! We are ASD and this is our live,” all said at once and bowed down to the camera. Millions joined in to see the live. The producer instructed them about monopoly, and they started ying the game.


    They selected their tokens and the producer made Young-Chul, the banker. He distributed the money equally and the game started. Chips, light snacks and drinks were ced before everyone to munch in between the ys.


    The producer kept asking them questions in between and would break the concentration of the yers. They would forget where their tokens were or what they were supposed to do next. The whole atmosphere was hrious.


    “So, what are your thoughts about the uing Rencontre?” asked the producer.


    “Well, we are very thankful to our script team foring up with such a brilliant idea. We are eagerly waiting for our friends, ASDians, toe and meet us,” said Korain.


    “Yes, we would be so honoured to spend a whole day with them,” said Him-Chan.


    “We know they are very talented, and we will see that with our own eyes,”mented Young-Chul.


    “We want to thank them with all our heart for taking out time for us and working so hard to meet us,” Jeong-Eun bowed down at the camera.


    “It’s a shame that among all the talented people we will meet with only seven,” said Thae.


    “Yeah, I really want to meet them all,” said Jung-Hwa.


    “No worries we will perform for all of them,” said Kyung-Soo.


    “Oh no! where was I?” suddenly Him-Chan shouted and everyone startedughing. The producer had to tell them whose was thest turn and who was going to y next.


    A few rounds after Jeong-Eun was in the lead. “Pleasement guys. Who do you think will win?” he said.


    “Oh, you are winning everyone can see that. Now you want people to say your name,” teased Young-Chul.


    “Please select my script,” Thae read one of thements. He looked at the camera and said, “if it would have been in my hands, I would have selected everybody’s script. But that is under our script team. Sorry guys! We cannot do anything. It’s out of our hands. But thank you very much for participating.”


    “Yes, please keep writing or ask your friends to write for you. You can submit as many scripts as you want. Submitting more scripts can increase your chance of selection,” suggested Him-Chan.


    “But that will cost them more,”mented Young-Chul.


    “Oh right, I never thought about that,” replied Him-Chan.


    “Don’t worry guys, even if you have no money, we will love you. You are our best friends,” said Jeong-Eun.


    “Right, right, absolutely right,” Jung-Hwa pped with happiness.


    “Coin, please marry me,” read Thae out loud, again and everyone startedughing.


    “I would be happy to do that. Let me get permission from my family and I will get back to you,” Korain winked at the camera.


    “Will King tell us about where he wasst night?” Thae nced at thement but said nothing. His facial expression changed, and everyone knew something was wrong. But Thae said nothing and read the nextment.


    “Can you guys help me get some free slot so that I could too send my script? I am poor,” Thae read out loud.


    Kyung-Soo extended his arm and asked for the tablet. Thae handed him the tab. Kyung-Soo nced at all thements and read thement that made Thae feel ufortable. While Jung-Hwa and Him-Chan were ying their moves, Kyung-Soo looked at the camera and replied, “that is a great suggestion. We will propose the same to our team and see what they say about that. Please note that our team is getting thousands and thousands of scripts every day. Even on their off day, they keep reading and selecting your scripts. I know your request would increase their workload but I think we can do something about it. I am not promising anything but will make sure to convey your message to our team.”
