Rockstar Again - Chapter 60



Only Noblemtl

Episode 60. 31 Years or 1 Year (1)

It may not be a debut through the normal route, but it is still a debut.

It’s been quite some time since people started coming in and out of the practice room.

I wonder if it will be possible to keep this a secret.

Secretary Kwak Moon-ki, who read my gaze, asked me.

“Why are you doing that?”

“I was wondering when to charge it. Oh, and wireless charging?”

“… … .”

“You can tell me. As you know, Mr. Director… … I didn’t come into this world normally either.”

“I don’t think Mr. Lee Dong-ha is normal… … but I’m a normal person.”

“Ah… … Okay, okay. I’ll pretend I don’t know. Are you afraid of getting caught like a screw? I’m actually the same way.”

Whether I do it or not, I stand with my back slightly against the wall.

ah.

They said they had completely remodeled the interior of the building, and it looks like they installed a wireless charger somewhere in the wall.

That’s why you always stand like that with your back against the wall.

“Hyung. Look at where Director Kwak is standing… … .”

At my words, Dong-sik cautiously approached me and looked at Secretary Kwak Moon-ki.

“Oh. I saw it. Why?”

“You’re always standing in the same spot. Don’t you get a feeling…?”

“……ah……!”

“Right? You get the feeling?”

“Oh, here it comes. Wireless charging… … !”

“As expected. Since you are someone who travels between North and South Korea as if they were your own home, your perspective is broad.”

As I pat his back and encourage him, Dong-sik laughs and wipes his nose.

“I haven’t been to North Korea either… … .”

“You must have secrets too, hyung. I understand, hyung.”

These days, the Kwak Moon-ki robot theory is becoming more and more convincing. At first, I was the only one who insisted on it, but these days, even Dong-sik hyung is starting to have doubts.

Whether it’s a robot or a person, it’s certain that they’re on our side. When they’re on our side, the person who’s so reliable is Secretary Kwak Moon-ki. Secretary Kwak Moon-ki, or Director Kwak for short, is like a guardian angel who protects our secrets.

Thorough identification of all personnel entering and exiting the office.

Checkpoint search.

And the meticulousness of binding it with legal devices… … .

A confidentiality agreement, I actually thought it was just an ‘oath’ or something, but it actually has legal binding force.

And everyone who saw the sunken eyes of Chief Secretary Kwak Moon-ki had the same thought.

‘Ah… … If this person breaks this, I’ll really take legal action… … He’s the kind of person who’ll do everything written here… … .’

Something like that.

“Hey, do you keep doing something else?”

When I heard a voice behind me, I quickly checked and it was a man named Gong Hyeon-seong with a long title: Visual Creative Team Leader.

Actually, I know who it is. He’s been coming to our practice room and doing that for a while now.

When I averted my eyes again, he grabbed my face and turned it towards him.

“Hey… … What’s wrong? What kind of suit is that? I told you not to wear one.”

“Trust me and go in a suit. Okay?”

“Do you want me to believe that I saw you last?”

“Hey, Dongha-ya! I said you’re my brother!”

“Why are you like this? Scary?”

“Trust me and believe in me. That way, even if there’s a twist later, it will have impact.”

“You’re talking about something like Impact. What if a rocker wears a suit? It’s not Impact, it’s Rocket. It’s talking about going to heaven.”

At my words, this old man, who was acting creepy and friendly, trembled.

“Oh my, what should I do? Do you think that joke makes sense with this face? It’s all because of the old men here, right? It’s like the old men who are always talking. Your sense of humor is like that because you’re teaming up with the old men.”

Um… … This is a bit… … .

I’ve never thought of myself as a funny person, but this is too much. I’m like this on the surface, but I’m an old person by birth… … A sense of humor doesn’t change all of a sudden just because you’ve come to the 21st century… … .

However, this man’s reaction to confirming the members was different from that of other Cheong-A employees.

I used to criticize him because I thought it was because of my hyungs that I lost my sense of humor, but when I first checked with them, I actually liked it.

So I asked.

“But. Why is it like this?”

“This is unprecedented. You’re asking such an obvious question, so what about you?”

“… … .”

“At first, I thought it was because CEO Koo was so concerned about my styling? Did you like it when you saw me? Oh my… … Oh my, oh my… … ! But I thought I would faint when I saw the other members. Are you going to cover their faces? These members’ identities are fixed just by my styling. Right? Depending on how I dress them, they could turn into old men. I could make people mistake them for twenty-year-olds. How great is that? I can do whatever I want with them?”

“Oh my… … It sucks.”

I asked for nothing.

I guess I’m a bit weak towards these types of people.

People who are extreme in their own pace.

I also do it at my own pace, but I am still young, so it seems that my skills are lacking.

“I don’t know about you, but if you just want to hide it, you can come out with a bandage wrapped all over your face, and you can just wear whatever clothes you want. But that’s not it? You have to make it stand out. No matter how much money the company spends on marketing, if it’s not cool, people won’t watch it. You said you write all the lyrics and music? Then you should know that these days, if you don’t listen to the first melody, people skip to the next part without even listening to it.”

“hmm…….”

“That’s why. If you’re a rocker, you have to be sexy. You have to be cool. Rockers wore loose-fitting T-shirts and leather jackets because that was sexy back then. Or maybe there were no stylists or visual creators like me.”

I sat on the chair and rested my chin on my hand.

I wasn’t even thinking about styling, but I’m strangely convinced.

“Please continue.”

When I showed interest, he started talking, spitting.

“That’s why. Styling is essential. But you can’t open your face? The only thing you can focus on is fashion? Are you going to dress like an idol? A rock band? You can dress like that, I guess. But think about it. If you dress like an idol and then later open your face, and this. What if these old men’s faces suddenly pop out? What are you going to do about that sense of dissonance?”

This guy is no joke.

Right now, Tae-joo hyung and all the other hyungs are in this room together, and I don’t hesitate to call them uncle… … That’s my style.

Well, since he’s this kind of person, when he checked on our members, he wasn’t surprised or suspicious, but jumped for joy as if he’d found a new test subject.

I pointed out a part that concerned me halfway through.

“Wouldn’t it look stuffy in a suit? It’s a rock band.”

“Can’t rock bands perform in suits? Do they have to wear leather jackets and sing? Isn’t that less free? They shouldn’t be bound by social conventions. They’re a rock band, right?”

“I keep getting persuaded… … .”

“Didn’t the Beatles wear suits in their early days? Aren’t the Beatles a rock band?”

This gentleman’s eyes are blazing… …it’s like looking at a madman.

And the Beatles.

Although I’m not a huge fan of the Beatles, I do know that they are a part of rock history.

It’s not that I don’t love the Beatles, it’s just that they’re not the best for me.

There might be a lot of room in a man’s heart, right?

That one room must belong to the Beatles.

I was completely moved by the appeal of Team Leader Gong Hyeon-seong, who unfolded his tablet and showed me the Beatles’ early styling.

“… … Pass.”

“Pass? Okay? Like that? Okay?”

“Okay. Let’s go. Whatever you want, Team Leader.”

Can I stand it when they play the Beatles?

After meeting Team Leader Gong Hyeon-seong, one thing was clear: I set a standard.

Team Leader Gong Hyeon-seong ran out, saying he had to check the fabric first. I stared blankly at the door, then suddenly opened my mouth.

“Brother Jaesam.”

“Is Jaesam here?”

Taeju hyung answers with a smile.

“Ah. Third generation chaebol. Even though he’s currently the main chaebol, he’s always the third generation chaebol to me, right? If I shorten it, it’s Jaesam. Anyway, hyung. I’ve decided.”

“what?”

“Leave medicine to the pharmacist, and treatment to the doctor.”

“Okay. Okay. Okay. Let’s do that.”

This time, I turned my head and looked at Taeju hyung.

“Did you understand that?”

“Of course. Now I’m starting to get the feel of what you’re saying.”

Of course, Youngpil, who still couldn’t get the hang of it, explained it one more time for his brother and Dongsik.

“Experts are experts for a reason. When I listen to them, they only say the right things. There is no counterargument. What should I do then?”

“Fighting?”

“Even the brain is a muscle? Why can’t it be done with just a fierce face?”

“no?”

Dong-sik, who was wiping his nose again with an embarrassed smile, and Yeong-pil, who was trying his best to smile kindly while saying, “I don’t know anything about Piri,” said to his brother.

“I’ll try to leave it to them as much as possible, except for the music. Even if I try to be stubborn, my hyungs and I are both old people.”

I crossed through time.

My brothers were beaten by time with their whole body.

Although I am following the current trends through studying and spending a fair amount of time now, I am only following them to the end.

Music is excluded.

That’s a different matter.

So I decided to feel the full support of Cheong-A Entertainment with my whole body.

Do I really need to try to do everything and cause myself a headache?

If that was the case, there would have been no need to make a contract with the witch.

Even a tiger will come if you call it?

The door that Team Leader Gong Hyeon-seong had left opened again, and the witch hag… … Oh, I know that too. To be honest, with that face, calling her an aunt rather than a hag is a serious problem.

But apart from being pretty, there’s no other way to describe that personality traitor.

Regardless of the face value, it is an established fact that he is older than me.

* * *

“Oh, the weather is nice. Isn’t it?”

“It’s crazy. All the people who come here are crazy. It’s freezing, but they say the weather is nice.”

“That’s right. That’s good.”

As he said that, he shook his head while looking at the witch hag who was smiling faintly.

Is that what happens when a rich person goes crazy?

They say that even if you’re crazy, you should be crazy in a pretty way, but it seems that even if you’re crazy, if you have money, there are people who mistake that for a concept and worship it. Like Gu Se-ryeong and that woman.

In this weather, she must be determined to die stylishly even if she dies soon, because all she has on her short, thin skirt is a pair of thin black stockings covering her legs.

Meanwhile, he had a muffler wrapped around his neck.

I am a luxury brand.

Thanks to that woman, I’m developing an eye for detail that I never had before.

He hadn’t been here for a while, but he’s been coming and going frequently again recently.

The old man, sitting on an empty chair, looked at me like a devil… … Well, he smiled rather gently and asked in a sticky voice.

Did you put honey on my neck? … Anyway, it’s strange.

“Team Leader Gong ran over smiling. Can I understand that the concept was to follow our drawing?”

“Well… … Yes. Of all the employees I’ve met so far, he’s the best.”

“Ha. I knew it. Team Leader Gong isn’t normal either.”

“I’m normal, right?”

“Yeah. Our normal Dong-ha, do whatever you want. But do it well. A star has to be cool even when he’s not doing well. Got it?”

“Is it your style to start off by spewing bad words before we even start?”

“I’m doing that because I’m worried.”

“Ugh… … That’s not right, that’s not right.”

Then I put the guitar back together again.

It’s my own version of a congratulatory message.

If I stay around people who are quick-witted for a long time, my strength will only diminish.

“Dong-ha, you’re a bit busy today.”

“What are you talking about? Why am I busy? Well, I am busy, but isn’t that a bit strange?”

“You said you were going to cry? So you should take pictures. In advance.”

“ah.”

“I also created a SNS account.”

“hmm.”

This is something that the person who said it must be a savior.

Using the advanced civilization of the 21st century to hide a unique genius.

So-called.
