LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 346
“Wow~ How can you tell right after seeing this once.”
“Well, since I was a bit of a music show MC, I ended up filming challenges after being asked here and there. That must have helped, right?”
“But you seem to be a quick learner originally, right?”
“Oh, well, that’s debatable.”
“Ha hahaha!”
“Ah hahah?”
“……”
Unlike Jaehyun’s words about worrying if it’s awkward, the two were quickly learning the challenge choreography.
Watching those two, Joo Seung-bin fell into deep thought.
It wasn’t jealousy.
Rather, it was a professional concern.
‘There must be many people assessing them.’
The new song from NND, which had a typical pop song style, could feel a bit bland.
However, the key to bringing it to life was the vibrant and impressive choreography that Do-hee was currently learning.
Anyone could see that the choreography seemed to target the challenge, and the chorus movements were even easy to follow.
The only problem was that because of that, capturing the feel of it became difficult.
‘Just following along looks clumsy.’
Having monitored for two weeks, Joo Seung-bin already had a clear idea of how the flow of this challenge would go.
The group was NND.
And due to the low barrier for the challenge itself.
Of course, there were idols included in the industry.
A variety of people were participating in the challenge.
─ As expected from a dancer; the energy is really striking, hahaha! Even though they’re not tall or long-limbed, how do they have such different energy?
─ For real, among girl idols, Miho is the most flexible. I’ve seen others, but she fits the best… her dance line is really pretty.
─ This person dances well, but I don’t think they capture the vibe of the original song…
─ Seems like everyone thinks the same; I thought I danced well, but everyone keeps saying the same thing, hahaha. Doesn’t have that sleek vibe of the original, ugh.
─ Why is this person overdoing it? ;;
The comment section was buzzing with activity.
Thanks to being part of the challenge he participated in due to being a junior in the company.
Joo Seung-bin, without others realizing, was secretly worried for Do-hee.
Having suffered harshly from haters, he worried if she would be tormented again—
“Seeing that the NND dance matches her style, does it mean I have superstar qualities too? Hahaha?”
“Oh my, of course, you’re a superstar, junior!”
“Ah hahah!”
“Ha hahaha!”
“……”
Even if it might be needless worry.
Truly.
“Oh, junior, you’re surprisingly cheerful… Ah, now that I think about it, you’ve always had a great sense of humor, right? I’m an avid listener of your debonair self-content, you know. We all watched it in our department and it was so funny.”
“Oh really? Thank you! But my personality isn’t always like this. I mean, it’s a variety show, you know?”
“Oh, of course! You look like you have a great work attitude just by looking at you.”
“Ah hahah!”
“Ha hahaha!”
“……”
Seung-bin, watching the two busy flattering each other amid the camera-holding managers, kept his mouth shut as he quietly observed their challenge till the end.
Of course, during this time, Joo Seung-bin was primarily focused on Do-hee.
It was impossible to deny that there were definitely emotional pull and affection involved.
“That just came out well.”
“Yeah, I think that one would be great.”
Do-hee’s detailed choreography movements had subtle differences from the original version.
“Hey, you’re too humble! It’s not just good; it’s super good, that feel.”
“Really?”
“Wow, that line made me feel like I was at a fan signing event. Very formal. I used to get hit hard every time I met Lira.”
“Really?”
“Such emotional scars for both of us.”
In the pointed moves where the ankles weren’t used, she freely replaced them.
The angles of her head turns were as she wished.
Even the direction of her arms rotating in the middle was more diagonal.
But it flowed smoothly like water, a unique way of connecting the moves that only Do-hee seemed to possess.
It felt like that unique charm of “your song, my song.”
She naturally drew people in with her personal style.
“Well, it’s not our group’s choreography, so I can dance comfortably~ I don’t even have to match angles.”
“But the unique vibe of Do-hee? That’s just amazing. I think people would feel that too.”
“Ah~ fans will like that even more.”
“What? I thought you were being modest.”
“Actually, I’ve heard that I’m a bit of an authority on challenges since the MC days.”
“Ha hahaha!”
“Ah hahah!”
“……”
And normally, even when speaking informally with him, Do-hee, who would brazenly praise herself while turning red or grinning widely at compliments, was adorably cute…
“Hey, hey Seung-bin, you’re also filming a challenge with the junior, right?”
“Ah, uh, yeah.”
Snapped back to reality by a voice from a senior in the company while lost in thought, Joo Seung-bin stood up, awkwardly shy.
Do-hee was looking at him with a somewhat annoyed expression while crossing her arms, but her eyes still sparkled playfully.
“Ah, it was just one schedule for one challenge up until here. Ha~ this is truly a contract violation. I’m a busy person with another schedule right after.”
A bit away, Team Leader Young-ho, managing the schedule, mentioned casually that checking the timing for the challenge video with Jaehyun was still leisurely today, given that the only schedule was the fan signing.
“Wait, is the manager leaking an entertainer’s schedule? How sensitive is this matter?!”
“It’s a public schedule, though?”
However, for some reason, Joo Seung-bin felt a strange heat on his face.
He may not have realized it yet.
He was falling deeper than just fan affection.
And that’s why it felt like…
“I don’t know, but I’m telling the Director about this?”
“Go ahead, go ahead~”
Despite the atmosphere of Do-hee being grown-up or full of teachable moments, the choice of words saying she’s telling the Director seemed oddly cute or cheerful, like the youngest in a 19-year-old group.
