FLEX, Idol Manager 44

# Chapter 44

“I’ll change the vehicle for travel. We’ll continue filming during the journey. How about having all six of you move together in one vehicle, with Seomin-ssi driving? To maintain the manager atmosphere.”

“Seomin Hyung can’t drive. Back then, Irun Hyung often did it.”

“That’s right. I should be the one driving. I’ll show you divine handling.”

Cha Yeonwoo and Seo Irun went back and forth, and I got in the car, completely worn out.

“But Hyung, you don’t do any special skincare or get treatments, right? Even now, did you just apply BB cream?”

Lee Dagyeong asked as he sat next to me, poking my face with his finger, then looking at what came off on his finger.

“No way. Hyung is wearing full makeup right now. He even drew his eyebrows.”

When Jeong Chan said that, everyone pushed their heads forward, saying they wanted to see my face up close.

“No? It really seems like you only applied BB cream? It doesn’t look like you drew your eyebrows either? What? It doesn’t even look like you groomed them? What? Don’t tell me these are your natural eyebrows? Eyebrows naturally grow this pretty? The color is naturally this dark?”

Cha Yeonwoo screamed that it was absurd, and then Han Sijin laughed with a “pfft” as if they were pathetic and told the guys.

“Hyung is naturally like that. His eyelashes are super long too. Hyung’s eyelashes are over 2 centimeters.”

“Are you crazy? You measured that?”

“You can tell just by looking that they’re longer.”

Now the argument had escalated to debating the length of my eyelashes.

They said they could check directly, and Lee Dagyeong rubbed my eyebrow with his finger and then showed his finger to the camera, looking dumbfounded.

“Nothing comes off. I guess this is really just Seomin Hyung’s natural eyebrow color.”

“Hey, pull out an eyelash too. Let’s see how many centimeters it is. Let’s pick the person who guesses most accurately. When others are working, that person can be exempt.”

Seo Irun also participated enthusiastically in the pointless conversation and claimed 1.8 centimeters.

Various guesses like 1.6, 1.9, 2.2 came from everywhere, and then Cha Yeonwoo tried to pull out one of my eyelashes.

“I’ll pull it out without hurting you. Just bear with me a little, Hyung.”

“Hey, this is our company’s advertisement, are you really going to ruin it like this? Are you going to film our home appliance advertisement like this? Can’t we have some sophisticated and intellectual conversation?”

No matter how much I wailed, the guys didn’t even pretend to listen.

“But how do we measure this? I don’t have a ruler. Does anyone have a ruler?”

We hit a wall there, and we thought we could measure the length with an object that’s equivalent to 1 centimeter.

In the end, we arrived at our destination without finding an answer.

“Are we here? Is this the place? Where are we?”

Lee Dagyeong was the most excited and chatty, while Seo Irun came to me asking how his driving was and whether I’d like to keep riding in a car driven by him.

Lee Dagyeong’s question got buried in between, and everyone was having a free-for-all of random talk.

Even when the assistant director tried to explain, there wasn’t even a chance for that, so only after I managed the traffic could the assistant director give an explanation.

“This is the Seyoung Electronics Premium Experience Center. There are Seyoung Electronics appliances displayed in a space set up like a model house. Just use them comfortably. If you don’t know how to operate them, there are manuals in the back, so you can check those. Please don’t make comments about the products being good in an overly forced way; the focus should be on keeping things as natural as possible. What you’re doing now is already great. The chemistry is really amazing. This is the first time I’ve seen random chatting be so entertaining. The director said it might be good to release the making film first. Please continue like this.”

The assistant director said that and quickly stepped back.

It seemed like they thought it was good to maintain the current atmosphere.

“I guess we go in there.”

“What should we pretend this place is? Should we set it up like we’re coming to Hyung’s house for a housewarming party?”

As Lee Dagyeong took the lead, Jeong Chan came up with an idea.

“That’s good too. Let’s do that. Rather.”

After just setting that much, we all went inside and were left speechless.

Luxury itself.

It was because of the interior view that could be described in just those few words.

“This is… our house, right? Wow… I’ve made it. This is a successful life.”

“Hyung, it’s amazing, isn’t it? When did you get such a house? Can’t we move in and live here too? What if we say this is our new dorm? Since it’s just pretend, can’t we change it?”

Lee Dagyeong simply tried to change my house into a dorm, and I, thinking I couldn’t lose what was my house even in pretend, gathered support.

“Hey, you think the same?”

“What are you talking about? This is Hyung’s house.”

“That’s right. Let’s say that kid with no principles is expelled from our team. Since we’re just pretending, let’s say Lee Dagyeong is out, and Hyung has joined as a new member to maintain the five-person system.”

After Seo Irun, Jeong Chan, and Cha Yeonwoo spoke one after another, Lee Dagyeong urgently grabbed Han Sijin’s arm.

As if asking him to save him.

Han Sijin looked around and pointed to the seat next to the camera director.

“If you watch from over there, your face won’t show, and it’s perfect for resting.”

He was cold-blooded.

From then on, Lee Dagyeong really stayed quiet, and the staff couldn’t hold back their laughter.

“So, how do you like my house?”

“Hyung, it’s really nice. But I’m hungry. Don’t you have anything to eat?”

“Something to… eat?”

At Jeong Chan’s words, I looked toward the refrigerator, but surely not?

Still, thinking it might be possible, I headed toward the refrigerator, and Seo Irun grabbed my arm.

“By the way, are all the appliances here being advertised? Isn’t that too much? Shouldn’t the advertising fee be set differently? Is that right, Hyung? Are you sure the contract was done properly?”

At Seo Irun’s words, we all looked at each other.

The concept was that I was originally from Seyoung Electronics, but during the advertisement, I returned as a daily manager.

But Seo Irun had dug into that.

It seemed like he said that to confuse me, even though the guys wouldn’t care whether they were advertising for Seyoung Electronics, Seyoung Group, or just one product.

My pupils shook as I thought of what to say.

“The contract… since the CEO handles that, shouldn’t you ask the CEO? I can’t be involved in the contract, right?”

“Really? I thought you did all that too, Hyung.”

“You’re being ridiculous.”

The staff roared with laughter, and the members found it amusing too.

The refrigerator was incredible.

It was filled with mouth-watering items, and there were various types of food that could be cooked in different ways.

“Wow! Frozen chicken. It’s what I like. Hyung, let’s cook this first. I’m so hungry I could eat even you.”

Beep beep.

That was dangerous. Cha Yeonwoo’s statement.

“I’ll eat with you too. Ahh!”

Lee Dagyeong.

You haven’t left yet?

When Cha Yeonwoo went to cook the frozen chicken in the air fryer, two cameras followed him.

“Aren’t you going, Lee Dagyeong?”

“No, I’m going to eat something else.”

“Do you store bananas in the refrigerator too?”

Before Lee Dagyeong could finish, Jeong Chan took out a banana and looked at the staff.

“Shouldn’t this be stored at room temperature for higher sugar content…? No?”

“Why are you looking at me? Who are you asking? Do it properly.”

“Right. I’ll shut up and just eat. I’m really hungry. Until a moment ago, I could bear it somewhat, but now that I’ve seen this, I just can’t stand it anymore.”

And he started eating the banana.

“Can we just eat what’s here? We’re in the middle of our activities.”

When Cha Yeonwoo said that while discreetly looking around, the staff from Grand Tamer laughed.

Judging by their faces, it seemed like they would let it slide for a day.

Come to think of it, Team Leader Hyun wasn’t visible today, and someone else had come, but I missed the chance to ask and finally asked Han Sijin.

“Sijin, by the way, where’s the Team Leader?”

“Hyung, what? You didn’t know Team Leader had a daughter? Your work superior had a daughter, and you’re asking me about it now? What kind of work life are you living?”

He’s getting too immersed. Han Sijin.

Anyway, it was truly something to celebrate that Team Leader Hyun had a daughter.

“Then I’ll cook for today. Let me know if there’s anything you want to eat. I’m really good at making milefeuille nabe.”

Seo Irun, who usually didn’t take the initiative, suddenly showed enthusiasm, and I criticized him, asking if he thought all those complicated ingredients would be available.

“That requires a lot of work and ingredients. You think such ingredients would all be here?”

“Well, that’s true. Beef and napa cabbage and… Oh? That’s here? There’s perilla leaves too! What? There are mushrooms too…?”

Seo Irun looked at the staff as if something was strange, and they also looked surprised.

It seemed like they had just bought and put whatever they could grab, but strangely, it appeared that all the ingredients for milefeuille nabe were available.

FLEX, Idol Manager

Status: Completed Released: 1 Free Chapter Everyday
Living under the obsession of my mother who had delusions about me being the grandson of a conglomerate chairman, watching idol survival shows was my only joy and support in life. 'Why do all the trainees I support always get eliminated?' It was on a day when I was feeling disappointed about my favorite trainees getting eliminated again. What I thought was my mother's delusion turned out to be true when people from Seyoung Group came looking for me, and I finally learned that everything my mother said was true. After becoming a member of the chaebol family, I got excited about one thing above all else: 'Doesn't Seyoung Group have an entertainment division?' And so after many twists and turns, the boy group "Crop Five" was introduced. But something's strange about these kids. [Just when I thought I'd escaped my mother's obsession, now the idols' obsession with me has begun.] *** Han Sijin's gaze wavered strangely as he looked at me. Then he pulled at the hand that touched his shoulder. "Uh..." "Why do you keep doing this? I'm trying hard to hold back." "You... it's just amazing that you're within reach. I'm checking if you're really there when I reach out." "...Why is that?" "It's nice. Sijin was always only inside monitors before. When Sijin smiled, it was for the camera. But now you're smiling at me, not the camera. That smile you make. You're only looking at me. Only I can see it. Your smile is just mine." "What are you saying? You're driving me crazy." Then the guy suddenly pulled me into a hug. It felt like everything was spinning, then his face came closer and I could feel his hot breath. "Are you determined to drive me insane? You came here deliberately, didn't you?"
