The Crown Prince in the Mang Game is Good at Idols - Chapter 130
Only Noblemtl
Episode 130
After successfully completing the first recording, we returned to our accommodations.
“I thought that I absolutely had to take good care of my throat, hyung.”
“Yubin, you especially need to protect your neck. If you leave, we’ll really be ruined.”
“While I was at it, I wanted to drink some warm yuzu tea that Hyungbin hyung made!”
“Did this guy intentionally lure me into drinking yuzu tea?”
“lol!”
Everyone was excited.
My tension also went up after hearing praise from the composer and engineer.
The fact that they have entered official recording means that time is passing quickly until Celeste’s debut.
You can’t help but feel anxious when all the work is finished and you can perform on stage in front of your fans.
Song Hyeong-bin, who was heading to the kitchen to make citron tea for Heo Yu-bin, tapped me on the shoulder as I was opening the refrigerator.
“Would you like some Charismatic?”
“I’m fine. Water is enough.”
“You’re going to drink two bottles of water by yourself?”
Song Hyeong-bin looked at the two bottles of water in my hands and asked.
“Yoon-cheol must be thirsty too, so he’s going up to his room right away, so I’ll go get him and take him with me.”
“By the way, are you and Yuncheol doing well? I was so out of it that I couldn’t even ask.”
“I’m doing fine without any major problems. Except for the fact that I sleep a lot.”
“Hahaha! When Yooncheol does it, you can’t leave out sleep and that rabbit doll.”
Song Hyeong-bin burst into laughter, but soon his expression became slightly serious.
“As Eun-gyu hyung said, I’m also a little worried about Yoon-cheol. He never reacts or says much.”
“I’m not a very talkative person.”
“The seven of us will continue to live in the same space from now on, but I can’t help but feel uneasy about what will happen if Yuncheol continues like this… … It’s a little premature, but I’m still worried.”
Chae Eun-gyu and Song Hyeong-bin all seem to be thinking similarly.
Why is Ji Yoon-cheol, the youngest, not as energetic as the other members and instead remains quiet?
If this situation continues, it is inevitable that we will be worried about the future. Strange rumors may spread in places like communities.
But I saw with my own eyes that Ji Yoon-cheol’s personality had changed since .
‘If you treated the other members the same way you treated me, these worrying words wouldn’t come out.’
First, I briefly explained the current situation in our room without hiding anything.
Compared to the time when we were competing in survival, Ji Yoon-cheol’s emotional changes are more frequent and the frequency of his conversations with me increases.
Song Hyeong-bin nodded slowly after hearing my story.
“I’m glad that I feel a little less guarded when I’m with you. But why is it the same for us?”
“I cautiously expect that they will approach slowly, one by one.”
“That first target is Charis?”
“Maybe so… … .”
“It’s like a butler chosen by a cat. Wow, I’m so jealous.”
Song Hyeong-bin teased me in a playful tone.
“Anyway, I feel a little relieved that you said that. I was always worried. No matter how much I think about it, I’ve never seen anyone around Yoon-cheol’s age who was as quiet and indifferent as he is. There were a lot of really young kids at the agency I was a trainee at, but they were all bright and full of energy. So I thought about this on my own.”
“What do you think?”
“I wonder if something happened to Yuncheol in the past. It’s not like he was like that from the beginning, is it? If he was always quiet and indifferent, he would have just been silent and still when he was with you right now. But that’s not the case.”
Song Hyeong-bin’s words made sense.
If the way Ji Yoon-cheol has been acting throughout is his normal personality, then the distance between us shouldn’t have narrowed down even now.
But Ji Yoon-cheol clearly said that he wanted to talk to me.
‘As Song Hyeong-bin said, it seems most likely that something happened in the past that led to this personality change.’
What must a 17 year old boy have to go through to keep making that face?
Song Hyeong-bin stirred the spoon vigorously while pouring the yuja-cheong.
“Anyway, I’m sorry for suddenly saying something so out of the blue. Did I keep you for too long?”
“no.”
“Water is dripping from the water bottle. Go up and rest. Are you going to practice for the tasting corner tomorrow?”
“Yes. Brother, you too, go to the movie theater—”
“Haaaaaah.”
“I’m sorry for mentioning this for no reason.”
Song Hyeong-bin still hasn’t escaped the nightmare of working part-time at a movie theater.
After telling him to get some rest, I headed to my room.
When I opened the door, I saw Ji Yoon-cheol lying down, hugging a rabbit doll, looking at something on his cell phone.
“Yun-cheol. Aren’t you thirsty? I brought some water just in case.”
“… … Ah. Thank you.”
Ji Yoon-cheol politely accepted the bottle of water I handed him with both hands.
I sat down on his bed and took a few sips of cool water.
“What were you looking at?”
“… … I was watching the performances of my agency’s seniors.”
A bright light flashed on Ji Yoon-cheol’s cell phone screen.
Idols performing on stage… … .
“Was your name Haillight?”
“……yes.”
My memory was hazy, but I managed to recall the name.
A six-member boy group from Dexter Entertainment, which includes Ji Yoon-chul.
Although they were not a huge first-tier group, they were a group that consistently released hit songs and played a leading role in the second-tier.
“We’ll be on that stage soon. Time will pass quickly, so don’t worry.”
“Oh, that’s not what I meant… … .”
“hmm?”
Jiyooncheol touched Muto’s ear and muttered in a small voice.
“I was motivated.”
“Motivation?”
“……yes.”
Was he recharging his spirits by watching his seniors from his agency be active?
But when I looked at Ji Yoon-cheol’s mood, it seemed like he wasn’t looking at Haillight’s stage with bright eyes.
“… …Brother Charis.”
“Do you have any questions?”
“That, this time, we’re doing a tasting corner… … . Do you think you can do it well?”
Strangely, it felt like Ji Yoon-cheol was the first to change the subject.
“Didn’t you get praised for your outstanding grilling skills? Citizens who have tried the meat you cooked will definitely buy it, so don’t worry.”
“I’m okay with grilling meat, but I’m still nervous about soliciting customers.”
“Min-ha is in charge of soliciting customers, so we don’t have to pay much attention to that.”
“… … I think Min-ha hyung is really amazing.”
Ji Yoon-cheol’s fingers touched Muto’s ears even faster.
“How can you keep generating that kind of energy… … I get tired just thinking about it.”
“I find that amazing every time I see it. I’m sure they spend a lot of money on it―”
“Brother Charis! Yuncheol! I have a great idea!”
As they say, even a tiger will come if you call it, and Yoo Min-ha burst open the door to our room and appeared.
Looking at those two eyes that were sparkling unusually, it seemed like he was in a very high mood.
“Last time, you said it would be nice to make something like a song in the car!”
“That’s right.”
“So, as I was thinking about how I could make a song, an idea that I actually thought was genius came to me!”
It seems like he’s incredibly excited to call himself a genius.
“Usually, the people who come to the mart are older, right? And almost 100% of them probably don’t even know that we are an idol group that will be debuting soon!”
“It will definitely be 100%.”
“So I thought it would be perfect if I rewrote the lyrics of a song that people of that age group like to listen to and made it into a promotional song! Trot music is really popular among seniors these days. I’ll sing it once, so you can see what I think!”
There was no time to stop Yu Min-ha.
He immediately picked up the bottle of water that Ji Yoon-cheol had been drinking and used it as a substitute for a microphone.
“Anyone can sell bulgogi~ Anyone can sell bulgogi!”
You could tell how much trot music she had listened to from Yumin Ha’s enchanting vibe.
I thought that since the original song that was revised was a very famous trot song, it would definitely catch the attention of older people.
Ji Yoon-cheol seems to have lost his mind after being directly hit by Yoo Min-ha’s overwhelming energy.
“… … Did you really make the song?”
“Of course! I’m the kind of person who does things unconditionally if I tell them to do them. What do you think, Yoon-cheol? Did you make it well?”
“Wow, that’s amazing.”
“Okay! Then, you’ll go practice tomorrow and sing this with me right away?”
“… … Is it okay if I don’t go out tomorrow, Brother Charis?”

Ever since Celeste made a surprise appearance at the debut event cafe, celebrities have been eagerly anticipating what the next shoot will be.
Since Cha Eun-gyu himself said, “We are filming with the theme of ‘reverse escalation,’” there was a very high possibility that he would appear in front of the public during the next reality show filming.
Fans who thought Celeste would naturally not come to the event cafe were waiting for the next news with burning eyes, blaming their past selves.
The lucky winners who had already seen Celeste’s face up close were also keeping a close eye on where the next event would take place.
Then one morning.
An interesting article was posted on Bluebird.
―(Photo) I came out to see the market and saw Celeste!! Not all of them, but maybe three of them…? They were busy stir-frying bulgogi.
Starting with this tweet that came up out of nowhere, celebrities went crazy and immediately started posting numerous quotes.
└???? What are they doing??
└Isn’t this K-Mart?
└ㅇㅇ It looks exactly like that? Where is the branch?;;
└No…. What if I know it?
└(Photo) Soyeon, that looks like our neighborhood. Mapo branch. Our neighborhood looks exactly like that.
└Mapo-myeon is a good place to go? I’ll just catch a taxi now.
└But when you arrive, I’ll be finishing work.
└ㅠㅠ There must be a parking lot somewhere ㅠㅠㅠ
└Ha… . Yoo Min-ha… . If you had dated our Soyeon, Soyeon wouldn’t have had to take a taxi with her own pocket money and go all the way to Mapo-gu to see a 3-second date.
―(Photo) (Photo) I just saw Karis at the mart, and he’s really handsome… .
└Hello!! Sorry for the late reply!! ⸝⸝ʚ̴̶̷̆ ̯ʚ̴̶̷̆⸝⸝ Where is this branch…?!
└Hello, lol. This is L Mart Mapo branch!! But since I took the picture earlier, there are more and more people here ㅠㅠ

└What kind of bulgogi surgery is this?
└Who are the kids here?!!
└ It looks like Charis, Yoo Min-ha, and Ji Yoon-cheol are like this!! I can’t see the other kids. It looks like they’re split into three or four, but I don’t think they’re here ㅠ ·̫ ㅠ
└The blessings of Gaeanz are endless… .
―(Photo) Wow guys, there’s Celeste in the COEX Superbox.
└Huh?? Going to see a movie…??
└No, but you’re wearing a trainee name tag and popping popcorn?? Heheheeheheeheheeheheeheheehe
└It went to the movie theater and the mart. Wow, awesome.
―(Photo) A moment more cinematic than a movie… . I went to get popcorn and Eun-gyu was right in front of me ㅠㅠ Eun-gyu’s Hyung-bin is in charge of popcorn, the squid nachos are for Si-yoon, and the soft drink is for Yu-bin!! When I said I was a celebrity, Eun-gyu’s eyes grew twice as big and he signed the popcorn bucket ㅠㅠ I can’t throw this away even if I die… .
└He is truly a legend
└I need to know what time it will be until before I can go or not, but wow, I’m really worried
└Why are you worrying? I already called a taxi.
└You live in Yeouido, so you can call a taxi, but think about my position as I live in Bucheon.
└Please, I have no friends but you… Please come out
Celeste’s daily part-time job day has finally arrived.
