Assistant Manager Kim Hates Idols - Chapter 132



Only Noblemtl

| Episode 132. Warrior Workshop (1)

It’s almost 3 o’clock in the morning.

The Spark accommodation was a mess. Everyone had their carriers spread out and were preparing to pack their bags. If someone who didn’t know saw it, they would have thought we were all planning to run away from home.

In response to my words that if we pack haphazardly like this, everything will be ruined, including filming, Spark started packing and deciding on the order in which to film.

“Considering the amount of time each group will have, it won’t take that much. Let’s film three people at a time, based on roommates.”

“Then should we start by taking pictures of our room?”

“Okay. Seongbin, just check first to see if there’s anything in Kiyeon and Joowoo’s bag that you can use.”

After a while, when I heard that preparations were complete, I took the camcorder and headed to Jeong Seong-bin’s room.

Three carriers were spread out tightly on the narrow floor.

Among them, one carrier in particular stood out.

It looked like cute characters were covering the fluorescent lime green carrier.

“Who owns that unique carrier?”

I asked Kang Ki-yeon, who likes comics, and he said it was Jeong Seong-bin’s. He also said that he brought this from Jeong Seong-jun. At this point, I wonder if Jeong Seong-jun’s belongings are still at home.

“What have you packed so far?”

“A change of clothes and toiletries. Do we each bring our own pajamas? Or do we bring our own practice clothes?”

“If the air conditioning in your room is centrally controlled, it might be cold. Bring one short one and one long one.”

Kang Ki-yeon nodded at my words and put one set of black gym clothes and one set of training clothes into his carrier.

“I’ll take all our vitamins at once!”

Jeong Seong-bin diligently prepared the members’ share of nutritional supplements. He is so meticulous even without saying anything. What would you have done without Jeong Seong-bin?

“Everyone, it’s good to pack, but please raise your heads. Your faces are too backlit.”

“huh……!”

I curled up in the corner of the room, trying my best to get good shots of their faces and bags.

I hope the production crew of A Wang Shil knows that I’m filming this desperately. Camera directors, fighting!

I finally checked the luggage of the three guys.

“Kiyeon, you take a separate steaming pack. Joowoo, just in case, put a honey stick in there. Seongbin, is there a Polaroid camera in our dorm?”

“I have it. Should I take it?”

“Yeah. I don’t think I’ll have time to take separate pictures, but just in case.”

If you’re having trouble because you’re not prepared, then there’s nothing wrong with being well-prepared. There’s a reason why peddlers survive, that’s what I’m saying.

On the other hand, Kang Ki-yeon was in charge of filming our room.

“This room is always empty no matter when I come.”

Kang Ki-yeon said. Then Lee Cheong-hyeon smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

“Both of you guys are minimalists. I like it because I have a lot of places to put things.”

As Lee Cheong-hyeon said, there was nothing in Choi Je-ho’s carrier. It was questionable whether he had even put in a change of clothes.

“You are… a single-set gentleman?”

“I put it in my front pocket.”

“All the clothes went in there?”

Isn’t that just underwear?

Hey, you probably just took care of it yourself. You’re twenty-one after all.

No, but shouldn’t you tell them to bring a jacket just in case?

In a short moment, I was troubled dozens of times.

And I decided.

“Wrap your clothes again in front of me.”

I decided to go ahead and trust the camera.

As expected, Choi Je-ho was unable to rebel. It was worth brainwashing him to behave like a newborn lamb in front of the camera.

Choi Je-ho packed all his clothes and left the room in a hurry.

The guy who came back was holding a mood light in his hand.

“Should I take care of that now?”

“Oh. We’re filming for one night.”

“Then what about tonight? If I put it in now, I won’t be able to use it later tonight.”

“ah.”

Huh? Huh?

What on earth did Chief Nam’s daughter like so much about this guy?

Except for the exotic face, shoulders broader than a keyboard, an inverted triangle torso, and a gentle line from thigh to knee.

It’s been over a year since I started living with Choi Je-ho, but I still don’t know.

“What did you pack, hyung?”

Kang Ki-yeon approached my carrier and asked.

The old carrier the system threw at me contained a few sets of clothes, a diary, and various skin care products.

“This is a skin for public use, this is a skin for Joo-woo to use… … .”

“You take two cans of skins?”

“Joo-woo’s skin is sensitive, so you can’t use just anything.”

In the past, how many sparklers were heartbroken when Park Joo-woo’s skin turned over because he applied a single bit of sunscreen incorrectly during one of the few precious outdoor shoots?

I almost broke my knuckles trying to adjust that. I won’t let anyone else suffer like that anymore.

“Hyung, your bag must be heavy. Are you going to pack some first aid kit too? If there’s no space, you can put it in my bag!”

“If Cheong-Hyeon, blood is gushing out of your hands right now, would it be faster to open the carrier bag or the auxiliary bag?”

“… … I’ll bring the auxiliary bag!”

“Right.”

After making the reckless Lee Cheong-hyeon take extra anti-nausea medication and motion sickness medicine, the filming of the packing content was finally over.

I hoped my accommodation was nearby, and after confirming that the footage had been safely recorded on the camcorder, I lay down on the bed.

* * *

The day of the training camp dawned.

I didn’t have a very good feeling, because I had been seeing things before my eyes since morning.

There was a small number ‘3’ floating in the upper right corner of my vision. No matter how much I rubbed my eyes, the number wouldn’t go away.

I thought it was the effect of the system, but it felt different from the previous system.

‘Is it an update?’

Sometimes, the development team would update the website and display strange things. Since Confirmation was a time-consuming process like Manager Nam, it wasn’t strange for him to make mistakes.

Since I couldn’t go to the ophthalmologist before filming, I decided not to worry about it for now.

The weather was incredibly hot. I went to the shop and said, “Please put two layers of sunscreen on each of your faces!” and all I heard from the stylist was, “Lee Wol, you should go get some tanning!”

Because I recommend tanning to idols like this, Lee Chung-hyun gets all tanned every time she goes on vacation, and my mentality burns as the fans follow suit…

I bet if the community hadn’t been flooded with positive posts the day before, I would’ve tore these guys apart.

≫ Today I took a picture of the legend

The stage is really sooooo pretty… …

└ Is it true that this is a competition stage?ㅠㅠㅠ I thought it was a concert

≫ Today’s fairy tale-like survival stage

is spark 『starlight』

Maybe it’s because the hemeco + props + stage direction are perfect

It was like watching a music video even though it was on stage!

└ I think the arrangement was well done. The stage is also pretty.

└ I was worried because the original song was too good, but my mouth dropped when I saw the direction at the end

└ It was also good that the topic changed from love for a lover to affection for the subject of researchㅠ

≫ Even during the planning meeting, I wondered what kind of stage they were going to do.

Like this lol

There is no way that all of us are not geniuses

Your rebuttal is completely wrong

Thanks to you, I really enjoyed monitoring. I even shared some of them in the group chat. Everyone had packed their bags and fallen asleep, so I only checked in the morning.

“Can we wait here?”

Jeong Seong-bin checked the waiting location with the camera director once again.

Since it wasn’t a studio shoot, the broadcasting station sent a tour bus to pick up the nearby team.

Spark’s accommodation is located on the outskirts of Seoul, so I ended up getting last place. It’s fortunate that I’m an idol and not an office worker who commutes to work every day.

The bus arrived 20 minutes later than previously announced, perhaps because there was a delay from the team ahead of us. I thought I was going to die trying to fill up the quota without letting anyone in.

The bus that we had difficulty welcoming had a large banner attached to it.

‘~Let’s go Baekjungnori~’… …written.

It seems like they wanted to do something that was worthy of the name Idol Dynasty Chronicles, even though it was a unity competition. It’s a little early, but the date will probably be right when the episode in question airs.

As I got on the bus, I saw that the 45-seat bus was almost full. Strangely, there were some empty seats here and there.

‘Is this really a seating system?’

As expected, there were small pieces of paper stuck on the chair.

I have two ears, but I have to listen to five people talking nonsense from their respective seats. I’m already tired.

But if we’re going to have seating, I’d rather sit with Partena Allover.

It just so happens that the seat next to Song Min-il is empty.

Why that guy of all people? If it were Mr. Han, I would at least talk about songs.

As I was swearing inwardly, someone from afar raised his hand.

“Mr. Lee Wol! Mr. Lee Wol, your seat is here!”

He was truly an all-around member. He was also a member who formed a unit with Choi Je-ho, and a member who would go to prison in the future.

At that moment, I wanted to scream that I had severe motion sickness and collapse on the floor.

The bus quickly became peaceful.

The cast members sitting in pairs were busy chatting about this and that.

Even Choi Je-ho was talking to someone.

and…….

“Mr. Lee Wol, would you like to drink this?”

“No, I’m fine. Thank you for your concern.”

… … Only Seo Yoon-seop and I from Allover engaged in a hellish battle of wits.

It’s a sin to keep your mouth shut in front of the camera. I know that.

But you’re saying that he got caught doing this new X drug? You’re not doing it alone, you’re saying that he recommended it to his colleagues and then got dragged into the distribution company?

I’d rather get beaten up than get involved with the royal drug cartel by talking to a kid like this.

It’s not the time yet, but honestly, I doubt there’s anything in that drink right now. I’d rather just eat the dry bread without the water.

“Mr. Lee, what do you do to relieve stress?”

“I don’t really feel stressed.”

Normally, when you ask a question like this, it would be polite to ask the other person, but I won’t. This person will soon relieve stress with drugs.

I was already branded a rookie who didn’t even properly greet his seniors, so I didn’t think it would make much of a difference if I was also accused of being absent-minded in the corner of a tour bus, so I just stayed still, but Seo Yoon-seop spoke to me again.

“I heard that Cheong-Hyeon composes songs at Spark?”

“Yes. Cheong-Hyeon is also arranging the competition song.”

“I see. That’s amazing. Aren’t you still young?”

It’s not that great.

Even though he had been doing music before, Lee Chung-hyun’s growth was amazing. Every time others noticed this, I felt Lee Chung-hyun’s genius.

Compared to those achievements, the guy… … .

“You’re so young.”

A few blocks away, I could see the rounded head of Lee Cheong-hyeon. He was so excited about something that he was laughing and chatting with the person sitting next to him, whom I couldn’t see.

“You’re so young, composing music must be a burden.”

“Fortunately, it seems like he’s still enjoying it.”

“is it so?”

“yes.”

How many idols who compose music are not suited for music? I didn’t want to be sincere, so I just answered like that. I’m grateful that they don’t lose their social skills and smile.

Despite this insincere attitude, Seo Yoon-seop continued the conversation quite persistently.

“But still, creation won’t be easy. Inspiration isn’t infinite, right?”

“Haha, that’s right.”

I am an ignorant human being who knows nothing about creation, so I don’t know such things.

So, I wish you would stop caring about other people’s group members… … .

‘for a moment.’

The back of my head was hard.

I looked back and forth between Seo Yoon-seop sitting next to me and Lee Cheong-hyeon laughing in front of me.

Then, for a brief moment, a flyer I had read in passing came to mind.

≫ Is drug addiction real?

A criminal case was filed, but the result came back negative and it was hushed up.

But there was once an issue that forced Lee Cheong-hyeon to step down from all advertisements.
