Rockstar Again - Chapter 150



Only Noblemtl

Episode 150. Our night is more beautiful than your day (3)

Even if a turtle crawls, it leaves a trace.

Even a slow turtle would be like that, but the path that Lee Dong-ha walks after becoming a star leaves an even deeper mark.

“This kid… … There’s definitely something there… … .”

Choi Tae-ho muttered to himself while monitoring Bitna Girls’ communication app.

“… … .”

Even after seeing that, Marketing Headquarters Manager Ha Jae-hyun did not give any specific answer.

It was more like a monologue anyway.

‘Ah… … Shit. You’re going to do this again… … .’

Ha Jae-hyun wasn’t stupid enough to talk to someone who seemed like he’d get into trouble even if he was left alone and light a fire under them.

However, the words that came out of TH Enter CEO Choi Tae-ho’s mouth were completely unexpected.

“Oh, yeah. The dead come back to life. Do you believe in that?”

“yes?”

“I’m asking honestly. He died. He was supposed to be dead in this world. But after 30 years, he was resurrected… Do you believe that?”

“Ah… … Are you talking about… … a drama… … synopsis or something?”

“Answer me.”

CEO Choi Tae-ho’s question itself was absurd, but the irritation on his face told the story.

Now that I’ve asked such an absurd question, Choi Tae-ho is just like his usual self.

I’m not crazy.

Instead, Chief Ha Jae-hyun came up with a hypothesis.

“No… … I’m not… … ignorant enough to believe something like that.”

Whether you are a businessman or a businessperson.

On a larger scale, whether you’re a politician or not.

There is no one in Korea who seeks to do business without relying on shamanism.

The bigger the undertaking, the more this is true.

Doing something big means taking on big risks.

Everyone has something they fear.

I want to ask someone about those fears and have them resolved.

If you look at it in a small way, the entire Republic of Korea is one with shamanism.

When naming a child, you should also look for a naming center.

When moving, do it on an auspicious day.

It’s a world where even couples consider compatibility when dating.

Ha Jae-hyun understood CEO Choi Tae-ho’s question like this.

-Hey. Do you believe in shamanism?

Said.

“Right? That doesn’t make sense… … But why does this kid feel so dirty every time I look at him?”

Choi Tae-ho looked up from his phone, where the communication app was running, and shook his head.

Choi Tae-ho began to carefully review the traces that Lee Dong-ha left behind while he was active.

‘Yoon Tae-joo… … Hong Young-pil… … Dong-sik too… … .’

They are people who once laughed and talked together and dreamed of the future.

They are people from distant memories, and their relationship ended in bad blood.

‘It’s strange that Choi Dong-hae, a person so full of pride, would suck so hard that his asshole would rip… ‘

Even before Choi Dong-hae became the godfather of Korean rock, Choi Tae-ho had been working hard to recruit him.

Since he himself was a former rock musician, it wasn’t just about financial gain; he also had some kind of favor.

―Thank you for your words, but that’s fine. And what’s important about the company? No matter where I go, I’m the best.

That’s what he’s been saying ever since.

That kind of person now sucks, sucks, and sucks again a rock band that only has one album.

Even Choi Dong-hae’s fans say that our godfather is strange, so I’ve said it all.

‘The name has to be Lee Dong-ha… … .’

It’s the same name as the guy who took his place.

And then he died with a bang, and I never thought about him again, but these days, I think about him every day.

‘All this is a coincidence? That’s ridiculous.’

But even if it wasn’t a coincidence, it still doesn’t make sense.

At the end of the story, Choi Tae-ho did what he had to do.

“When is the next album from these Blue Porcelain kids? Get as much information as you can.”

“All right.”

Ha Jae-hyun answered that he would do so.

In fact, it is not that difficult, nor is it that strange.

Checking your counterpart’s schedule is common in the industry, and finding out that way can help you avoid competition.

But this time, Choi Tae-ho exceeded Ha Jae-hyun’s expectations.

“Delay the comeback of the Nuclear kids.”

“Yes? Uh… … um… … why, sir?”

“What’s going on? I’m just trying to properly trample on those things I don’t like to see.”

It’s not uncommon for us to have to adjust our schedules to fit the other person’s schedule, but Nuclear is an exception.

* * *

“Oh my. It’s hard to even look at your face, hyung.”

Junho, who resembles a Shiba Inu, laughs while sipping his iced Americano.

“Why do your eyes look more droopy?”

“I’m the type who smiles the most.”

And then he laughs again, this guy is turning into a fox that looks more and more like a Shiba Inu.

“Do you know that our comeback was delayed because the company told us not to stick together?”

“Whether it sticks or not. What’s so important about that? Am I that scared?”

I’m watching an old movie these days, so I tried to make some jokes I’ve seen in movies, but Jiha doesn’t really react.

Jiha is just a guy who says what he wants to say.

The basement burst into laughter.

“If other people hear this, they’ll think you’re so successful that you have a celebrity complex. They might not even know that you were always like this.”

“Right. I was like that originally. But you and Junho don’t seem to have any celebrity disease? I feel this way when I’m on music shows, but there are a lot of kids with stiff throats.”

“Wooyeol hyung is such a nag. He keeps reciting spells right next to me, so how could he possibly get caught?”

I took a sip of my latte elegantly and asked.

“Why didn’t Wooyeol come?”

“Because my brother worries a lot, he always gets very sick before activities. He got a ringer and is recovering at home.”

Thanks to you, I have some more time to talk.

If you say it like this, that’s true, but… … .

Wooyeol is a very talkative person and is very talkative.

It’s nice for the first five minutes when we’re together, but after that my head starts to hurt.

I’m out at a coffee shop for the first time in a while, meeting Jiha and Junho and drinking coffee.

Just because you’re a celebrity doesn’t mean you have to live in confinement, but idols are a little different.

There are so many fans who follow me wherever I go that it’s rare to drink coffee in an open space like this.

“Brother. Should I go next to you?”

As expected, Junho comes over to me with a bright smile.

“Don’t do it. You’ll die.”

“Hey. Why are you like this? Do you like this kind of thing? The fans? If the fans like it, why don’t you do it? Before we were artists, we were entertainers who grew up eating the love of our fans?”

Click!

Before I knew it, Junho was rubbing his cheek against my face, taking out his phone and taking a selfie.

“Ahh… … Really… … .”

“I’ll upload it after making it pretty. My fans especially like it. They’ll like it if I upload it.”

I looked out the window of the coffee shop with a frown.

“Gyaaaah!”

“Oppa!”

“I hope things work out well for the Jun-dong couple!”

Fans crowded into the coffee shop windows, which are made of glass, scream loudly.

“Wave my hand.”

Junho said that and without waiting for my opinion, he grabbed my hand and waved it in the air.

“Jun Dong Forever!”

You’ve been saying Jun-dong, Jun-dong since a while ago… … Ha.

It makes me feel even dirtier knowing what it means.

“You guys have such a hard life too. You don’t know how lucky you are that you’re not an idol.”

At my words, Jiha burst into laughter again.

“You unexpectedly came all the way to a place like this?”

“Can I just live my life doing whatever I want? If the company asks me to do something, I have to do it. And what… … Since it’s you guys, I have to do it even if you don’t want to.”

After saying that, I took another sip of my latte.

This is how it started.

– Dongha. NBD9’s comeback coincides with the end of our activities.

Suchan’s brother’s words.

―NBD9 officially requested that we do a private event together before their comeback. What do you think?

―I don’t think it’s a bad thing from our perspective either. NBD9 and Dongha are really close. But no matter how close they are behind the scenes, it’s not as good as showing them in front once. I think the fans will like it.

It wasn’t difficult, so I said okay.

So the place that was created is now.

It’s not just about fans enjoying seeing us, there’s a lot of business involved.

Both companies will spread press releases about our friendly relationship.

If Junho’s SNS post is spread around, another article will come out.

Photos taken by fans themselves of us are spreading everywhere.

Things that started like this naturally made NBD9 fans cheer for Blue Porcelain.

We will make sure that our fans enjoy NBD9 too.

It’s a kind of alliance, so each other’s schedules are shared and adjusted without me knowing. It’s also the reason why NBD9 made a comeback later than expected.

After taking the picture, Junho quickly went to the basement before I could push him away and opened his mouth again, sipping his Americano.

“But what I’m saying is, hyung, it doesn’t seem like it spread because you’re just a worry doll.”

“then?”

As if he had been waiting for my question, Junho lowered his body and whispered softly.

“Do you know that Hyung Yeol was a trainee for a really long time?”

“Yeah. But?”

“Do you know which group was the first to debut? Doesn’t everyone know?”

“I don’t know.”

That’s because my older brother didn’t tell me, and I didn’t even know that he had made it to the debut group in the first place.

There must have been some talk among fans, but Jiha seemed to not know anything, which made me feel a little awkward.

So I added.

“If you made it to the debut group, why hasn’t it been mentioned yet? Aren’t reporters and fans the ones who reveal all sorts of trivial things?”

“No one knows that I went to the debut group. No one knows that hyung was there either.”

“Where is that? Did the National Intelligence Service prepare idols?”

Junho answered my words with a serious face without a smile.

“T-Enter. They really hate it when their trainees get blown up somewhere else.”

“What? TH?”

“Yeah. That’s why they deleted all the records of the trainees who didn’t debut there. So there’s no record. Whether he says he practiced there or the fans say, he denies it. Wherever he goes, there are a lot of rumors. His attitude is bad. He has serious problems with the opposite sex. He fixed something, but they said he’d be coming soon. That kind of stuff. They’re harassing him so he can’t debut.”

hmm.

I didn’t know.

I knew that Wooyeol had suffered and that he had applied for Naebopdol, thinking it would be his last chance, but I never thought that something like this would happen.

I’m glad it worked out so well.

“But why is that?”

“That’s the biggest complex and motivation for Yeol-hyung’s success. I got crushed on it recently. I met him at the hair salon, and it was like overcoming his complex… … He’s such a nice person. So I said hello, but he just ignored me.”

“… … .”

“Our feverish hyung. That’s why he’s always groaning. Even though everyone else understands, he always keeps his frustrations to himself.”

I frowned slightly at the rather deep story that seemed to be intended for promotional purposes.

It’s not that I don’t like Junho suddenly saying things like that.

I took good care of the relationships I had 30 years ago, but I feel bad about the relationships I have made in the future… … and I feel sorry.

I don’t really want to pack anything though.

“Who is it?”

“Nuclear.”

It was a short statement, but it had quite an impact as it came out of Junho’s mouth.

Coming from the future, he is one of the idols I listen to the most.

I didn’t listen to it because I liked it.

It’s not that I hate it, but it’s just an idol I heard about.

A group that ranks at the top among current South Korean idol groups.

Although he’s an idol, he also has musicality.

There is no need to even mention star quality or popularity.

“Wooyeol hyung was in the debut group of that group?”

“Yeah. I’m so clingy. He only talked to me once.”

“But why did the Nuclear guys ignore Wooyeol hyung?”

Junho also frowned at my words.

“It’s not the same.”

Hmm… … .

It was the same with Apple in the past.

Nuclear too.

Brother Yeongpil is like that too… … .

I keep getting involved with TH.

But how can I repay this?

I’m not going to go and knock it down.

I’m just a rocker?
