Save a Failed Idol's Life

Chapter 91:

As soon as I clicked the link, a small gossip site article popped up.

[<Todays Idol Issue> Climaxs Ise, Kyunghwa, Were shy because theyre not used to it]

[Star Today Polaris Seon-young. Cute challenge with her brother]

When I clicked to read more, there was nothing much. Just a few captured images and a few lines of summary.

There are too many people in this world who makes money so easily.

Tsk, I lightly clicked my tongue and looked out the window. The familiar scenery was slowly coming into view.

Were almost there. Get ready to get off.

The manager said he had to go to support the Floss team right away because of their overnight shooting.

Youre working hard too.

What do I know? You guys are going to be busy soon.

The manager answered with a voice that sounded less and less confident. I wouldnt say I felt bad, but it was a lie.

No matter how good our recent form was, Climax was still nothing compared to Floss, the shining star of the boy groups.

I couldnt blame the manager for his attitude.

I hope so. Take care of yourself and have a good day.

I exchanged a brief greeting with the manager and the three of us silently climbed the stairs.

Kyunghwa, who reached the door first, unlocked it and pulled it open. Then, he looked at me and Seon-woo.

As soon as you go in, wash up

Before Kyunghwa could finish his sentence, bang! A firecracker went off and someone jumped out of the entrance.

Congratulations on your MC debut!

Yi-jun, wearing a cone hat and holding a lettering cake, shouted.

Next to him, Seong-won was pulling the firecracker with a soulless expression.

Bang-!

Another firecracker burst out with force, and long paper strips poured over Seon-woos head.

Congrats!

Seon-woo, with a stunned expression, hesitated for a moment, and a two-tiered cream cake rushed to his face.

Huh? Wha!?

Seon-woo couldnt defend himself, and with a thud, the cake hit his face.

Thats a classic.

Kyunghwa exclaimed briefly and quickly grabbed a tissue with his reflexes.

Are you okay? Can you eat this?

It was unclear whether he was asking about the cake or Seon-woo. He wasnt going to eat Seon-woo, was he?

Isnt this too much for a celebration?

I scolded Yi-jun with a short click of my tongue. Seon-woo, who came to his senses, quickly shook his head.

No, no! Im fine!

Seon-woo got up, and the cake fell from his face into Yi-juns hand.

Oh, nice catch.

Seon-woos face, which barely showed up, was covered with cream.

The cake had distorted the curves of his eyes, nose, and mouth. It was inevitable.

Im not eating that.

I turned my head as if I had seen something I shouldnt have. I didnt like using food for pranks anyway

Thats so unsanitary.

I wouldnt mind if he just smeared some cream on someones face with his finger. But throwing a whole cake at someones face was something I had never seen before.

Really? I thought he wouldnt eat it. What about you, Kyunghwa hyung?

I didnt need to look at the direction of his finger to know who Yi-jun was pointing at.

He was already picky about food, so eating a cake that had been smashed on someone elses face was out of the question.

Ill have a little bit.

Maybe he was still hungry after one burger. Kyunghwa surprisingly nodded his head.

Why dont you ask me?

Seon-woo finally realized the danger and asked Yi-jun anxiously. He was so desperate to eat the cake on his own face He was quite something.

Nobody thinks you wont eat it.

Of course. Yi-jun glanced at me as if asking for permission.

Just give him a speck.

I reluctantly agreed and spat out. Yi-jun grabbed the cake and ran to the kitchen table.

He was so happy with just a ruined cake He must have the best mental health among us.

Can I go wash up first? As I thought that, I remembered the burgers in my hand.

Oh, right. I also bought some special burgers from the Music Safe basement store.

Yi-juns ears perked up as he was taking out a plate and a fork from the kitchen.

Oh, how many?

Five.

One each?

Yi-jun flashed a predatory look at the food.

Kyunghwa said he wont eat. You can have two.

Awesome!

He snatched two burgers from the package on the table in a flash.

You can have a burger too if youre hungry. If not, put it in the fridge.

I pointed at the package and looked at Seong-won. He nodded and headed to the table.

And at the same time, he uttered a word that made my spine tingle.

Yeah. Thanks.

What?

Did I hear something wrong? I doubted my ears and followed his blond back. He looked calm and nonchalant.

Did he just thank me? Of course, I had heard him say thank you before.

But that was when there were some big events.

I never expected to hear his gratitude for a burger.

Is he dying.

To be honest, I was the one who was running out of time.

Did I become more comfortable with the members than before?

It was definitely a good thing that he opened up his heart compared to when we first met.

But I wasnt entirely happy. There was a heaviness in my chest

If I fail the test and die again. Ill betray the ones Ive opened up to and run away.

I dont want to die. Its natural for most people who have a life.

Apart from revenge, I didnt want to lose this life.

If I had made the same resolution a few months ago, could I have come up with a more perfect and better plan than now?

I shook my head as I headed to my room alone.

That was impossible from the start, and it was not like me to feel sorry for myself by assuming what could have happened in the past.

The dice have already been thrown. All I can do is hope for a good roll and do my best.

I quickly took off the dusty clothes I had turned inside out in the waiting room and poured cold water over my head.

My eyes opened wide as the cold water poured down, making my skin shrink from my scalp.

I should fill my stomach with a burger instead of worrying, and do one more monitoring before I go to bed.

It was about time for the official clips to be uploaded on the Music Safe official account.

***

Wow, you washed up and came out fast, hyung?

As I hurriedly washed up and came out to the living room to eat a burger, Yi-jun and Seon-woo looked at me with cream all over their mouths.

Seon-woo quickly wiped his mouth with the back of his hand as soon as he met my eyes.

Didnt I tell you to give me only as much as an ants eye?

Looking at the traces on the plate in front of Seon-woo, it was clear that this was not an ants eye, but as big as me.

Ah~. Its probably because the unit of measurement is not standardized

Oh Yi-jun tried to cover it up with nonsense. No way.

Tomorrow, you both have to eat the minimum amount of carbs. You should only eat salad.

Yi-juns face turned pale at my declaration, which was like a bolt from the blue, and he struggled.

Me too?

Yeah, you too.

I microwaved the burger for 20 seconds and air-fried it for 3 minutes, then ate it right at the table.

Is it good to eat it like that?

Yi-jun, who had barely calmed down, stuffed his mouth with cake as if he was going to fill up his calories in advance.

If you heat up the meat inside with a microwave and make the bread crispy with an air fryer, even a cold burger becomes edible.

When I ate the one I had put in the fridge for fear of spoiling, I microwaved it for more than 40 seconds. That way, I could eat a hot burger without burning the outside.

Oh Ill try that next time.

Of course, that guy had a big mouth, so he would eat well even if he didnt do that. I was the type who pursued quality over quantity even if I ate one.

If the conditions are right, theres no reason not to do it even if its a bit of a hassle.

I filled my stomach and went back to my room to check, and sure enough, the official clips of Music Safe were up.

Where Lets see the ones with the highest views first.

I passed by the fancam videos of countless junior and senior idols and found the encore stage of Floss with the highest views.

What Im not interested in these guys.

As I was about to pass it, the guy I met at the cafeteria today bothered me.

Unlike the pre-recorded stage where they sang with an AR that had been pre-recorded, the encore stage was a pure live without any of that.

Lets see how well they sing.

It was childish for an adult, but I was a hybrid of a thousand-year-old and a twenty-year-old.

So this much childishness was okay.

I played the encore stage with the logic of a miracle.

[Music Safe of the third week of October! The first place goes to, Floss!]

[Congratulations!]

[Congratulations!]

[Please share your thoughts as the leader, Hwijin!]

Out of the nine people standing together, a gray-haired one who seemed to be the leader came out and took the microphone.

[Thank you so much! We are so grateful and love you for giving us this wonderful award today!]

Was he the leader because he ranked first in that idol popularity vote show?

As I thought of that, I paused the clip and searched for the debut ranking of Floss on the portal.

[Search results > Floss debut ranking]

1st Lee Jinheng

2nd Lee Hwijin

3rd Oh Chanhyung

4th Shim Naru

5th Damian

6th Okada Jun

7th Park Sunghyun

8th Kim Youngchan

9th Kang Yu-geon

I knew that Kang Yu-geon was not very popular, but I didnt know he was the last one to debut.

Maybe I knew, but I didnt care enough to remember.

There were two foreign members. I looked into it and found out that Damian was only American by nationality, but his parents were Korean.

No wonder he looked like a Korean.

For now I should at least memorize their faces.

I matched each of their faces and names from the video that was uploaded today.

We were still far behind them, but they seemed to consider us as rivals.

I needed to familiarize myself with their faces beforehand.

They were making a fuss by themselves, while we didnt even pay attention to them. They were not bad, but they were too sensitive.

Hmph, I resumed the video with a light snort.

[Thank you so much!]

[We love you, Tempo!]

Seon-woo walked slowly to the middle of the enemy camp and greeted Yu-geon, and the camera captured it very clearly.

Huh? Wait a minute.

Something that annoyed me stepped on my eye.

What the hell is he?

My eyes narrowed in an instant.
