* * *

The night of BNS Sound Stage The Final ran to a rave end.

– Let’s enjoy the present moment when youth shines

The wind blows across that vast field

Let’s enjoy the present moment that welcomes us

dream

dream….

No matter how much the times have changed, all the performers gathered together to sing the old songs of their seniors that still touch people’s hearts, and greeted the fans who stayed with them until late at night.

In addition to that… .

“Sound Stage The Final, the year-ending Sound Stage! To celebrate today, we’ve invited a special person to present the second half song award!”

“They say that these days, if you don’t know this person, you can’t join in on a conversation. He recently showed off his impressive acting in .”

“…We will invite actor Sa Gong Yoo!”

One of today’s main event figures, who is not finished yet, returns to the stage once again.

“…Who is the award presenter?”

“Wow, they really did call the presenters properly? The presenters from the previous year just gave out the awards!”

The name of the actor called out at a year-end stage filled with idols caused quite a stir.

“Private ownership? Really private ownership?”

“What should I do, I’ve watched ‘Hwasu-bun’ five times…!”

“Wow, that guy… was kind of scary in the movie.”

Some people’s faces turn red with anticipation, while others scratch their cheeks awkwardly, remembering scenes from the movie.

Meanwhile, the members of T.O.J. didn’t react much to that fact.

“Hmm, I see… So you came because of the singing award ceremony this time.”

“That’s right. No, was it because I was surprised earlier? I’m not that surprised right now… .”

It was natural.

Because they are now walking down that nicely decorated stage entrance aisle with a nice… .

“… Hello. This is the T.O.J. waiting room, right?”

“Oh, yes. This is the right place….”

“It’s Sa-gong-yu. Tae-i told me to go here first… so I can go.”

Because I already saw it earlier.

“Hey, Chun-yong hyung. Then later, you and that person…?”

“Yeah. That’s right. This is something I promised Tae.”

“Oh, I see. I’m so nervous. This might be my brother’s new friend.”

“… … .”

Kim Chun-yong nodded slightly to Logan’s question and then looked closely at Sa-gong-yu, who was now heading towards the center of the neatly organized stage.

Not as noticeable as Jihwasung, Logan, or Antaei, but has good proportions.

A black suit that seemed familiar to his body, his neck exposed without a tie.

And above that, a slightly angular and sharp, manly face.

It was a sharpness different from Kim Chun-yong’s face.

Unlike Kim Chun-yong’s Nalti, which was optimized to receive love from idol fans, Sa Gong-yu had an image like a well-sharpened sword.

If one person looks like they’re going to have a band-aid on their face and act rough, then the other person looks like they’re going to have drops of blood splattered on their face.

Anyway, it was a little different.

“… Hello, I am actor Sa Gong Yoo.”

Wow!

As soon as he said his greeting, applause and cheers erupted from the audience.

You could say that it was the audience’s courtesy towards the presenter, but it was actually cheers born of pure goodwill.

Because the award presenter is Sa Gong Yoo, the hottest actor in his 20s these days.

[Movie , A Breeze of Fresh Air on the Screens of South Korea… “Already 4 Million?”]

[“Not a child actor, just an actor.” Sa Gong-yu’s first adult acting challenge, “120 out of 100.”]

[Exploring Sa Gong-yu’s psychology in , which was highly praised by critics]

A person who debuted on the screen at the age of 16 and has raised expectations in the film industry with his growing appearance every year.

There is a person who has properly impressed the audience by acting as an adult in the thriller film released earlier this year, playing the role of a priest bomb maker who was abandoned by his parents since childhood and has no attachment to the world.

Surely, he is the trendiest actor at this time of year?

That person, Sa Gong-yu, was one of those people who had no reason to associate with Kim Chun-yong in the past.

The fact that there was no reason for Kim Chun-yong to hang out at that time meant one thing.

I don’t drink alcohol, and I don’t enjoy nightlife.

That your private life is clean.

As Kim Chun-yong was always sitting around the club, he would naturally run into people going around the tables and rooms, and he would often meet new people.

“Wow, sir. What are you drinking whiskey like it’s water? You’re just throwing it all away!”

“Hey, it’s okay. Do you know how much alcohol we drink at Yeongyeon? This is nothing. This much is just for fun.”

“…Ugh.”

“No, sir. I drank something else, so why are you talking like that, Rex? Envelope, envelope!”

“I feel jealous when I see other people drinking… .”

There were actors among them, but no matter how much I looked back on them, Sa Gong-yu was not there.

Then and now.

I can’t believe this is our first meeting.

“… I am so happy to be able to come here to shine this kind of light. If it weren’t for this, I would never have had the chance to go up on the BNS Live Hall stage.”

Sa Gong-yu, who continued the light small talk before the awards ceremony was fully prepared, looked quite friendly, contrasting with the cold scenes in the movie.

He has a sharp face and occasionally smiles, and waves his hand at people.

“Haha, I also listen to K-pop a lot. It feels really strange to meet the celebrities inside me.”

And yet, speak to people kindly, using well-chosen words.

Those appearances were clearly different from when I spoke with Kim Chun-yong earlier.

“Haha, nice to meet you. Then what should I call you, Mr. Sa-gong-yu…?”

“Just call me Sa-gong-yu, my full name. That’s fine.”

“Oh, yes. Would you like to come in and have something to eat before you leave? I have a few things here and there.”

“No, that’s fine. Antaei, that bird… .”

“yes?”

“… Since Antae is such a saint, I just came here to see his face first. I’ll say hello, so that’s enough. I’ll see you later.”

Sa Gong-yu was incredibly blunt during his brief conversation with Kim Chun-yong.

“Huh? Th, please don’t do that! No, you came all the way to our waiting room. Here are some snacks! Please take some snacks!”

“That’s what I’m saying. So, you came to find our members, but you have to leave right away like this… .”

“… He’s already gone? His steps are so fast!”

“Ugh… .”

“Hmm, I don’t think you talked much with Chun-yong either. Really.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he left the waiting room door without the other members being able to say anything, so there was no need to add any explanation.

Such unfriendliness, such bluntness.

“Now, I will announce the winner of the second half of the glorious Sound Stage Song Award. Oh, my hands are shaking again….”

But now, they are pushing a very friendly image.

To sum it up, Kim Chun-yong still doesn’t have a good sense of what kind of person Sa-gong-yu is.

It may seem sensitive, but it may also seem blunt.

When I see him smiling and trying his best on stage, I think he’s a hard worker who thinks about his own image to some extent.

‘… I think it would be hard to know unless we have a full-fledged conversation or an issue that shows some personality.’

First of all, the reason Kim Chun-yong wanted to meet Ahn Tae-yi’s friend was to get hints about the ‘other guys’.

It was clear that it would be difficult to find those guys in Kim Chun-yong’s narrow entertainment network, which was limited to drinking buddies.

But, why should the person giving the hint be so ignorant?

‘Taeya, if you choose someone to introduce to me, do you always choose someone like that?’

That’s when Kim Chun-yong smiled bitterly as he thought of Wiz’s innocent 7-year-old center boy.

“The protagonist of the song of the second half is….”

The voice of Sa Gong-yu, who announced the winner, trembled slightly… .

“… Sladix, yes.”

For a brief moment, his expression became frowned.

It was so brief that it was hard to say anything.

There was even a moment when the camera just passed over it, thinking, ‘Maybe he’s nervous.’

However, in the eyes of Kim Chun-yong, who had been observing Sa-gong-yu with the members on both sides, there was a definite change.

‘…what?’

Kim Chun-yong clapped his hands like crazy for the seniors who would come in after him, but he also rolled his eyes to figure out what the subtlety he had just confirmed was.

Suddenly, something.

I have a strong feeling that I might become close with Sa Gong Yoo at the after-party where I will be sharing my thoughts with An Tae-i later.

However, Kim Chun-yong had to put that feeling aside for a moment.

The person who had made Kim Chun-yong writh in worry, thinking, ‘What should I do if he suddenly shows up?’ while he was waiting in the waiting room earlier was coming up on stage again.

A man at the front of the group with his suit hem lengthened and draped like a robe.

The leader of the first-tier male idols, who was nowhere to be seen throughout the entire Sound Stage The Final stage today.

“… I will greet you. One, two, three.”

Before receiving the award, we led the group greeting… .

“―Hello, this is Sladix!”

Jeong Yeon-woo greeting fans and fellow singers.

“… … .”

The moment Kim Chun-yong met his eyes, he was overcome with indescribable emotions.

Well, maybe because there’s so much going on today.

Should I say that I became anxious because Jeong Yeon-woo, who is a perfectionist, had a more satisfied smile on his face today?

“… First, you get the trophy.”

“Oh, yes.”

Today, a meeting that will take up half of the SNS and community bulletin board shares regarding Sound Stage The Final has suddenly arrived.

This is a conversation between the leader of male idols who boast an unwavering tier 1 status and the two people who first come to mind when thinking of male actors in their 20s these days.

SNS and communities were already regenerating like crazy with posts like, “You can make a painting just by standing there” and “I approve of this friendship” taking up a lot of bulletin board space.

However, it is said that people always focus only on what is visible on the outside.

As for what the kernel was like, only those who could look closely inside knew.

“thank you.”

“Oh, okay. Then I’ll take my leave now…”

“Yes. Thank you again, Mr. ‘Yu.’ Haha… I guess it feels more special because it’s an award given to me by Mr. ‘Yu.’”

“… … .”

It was a conversation without any problems.

Jeong Yeon-woo treated Sa Gong-yu in a professional and courteous manner, just like his public image, and Sa Gong-yu nodded slightly in response.

However, Kim Chun-yong was able to realize this thanks to Sa Gong-yu, who was momentarily holding the lower part of the trophy with his hand tightly as if he did not want to give it to him.

The reason why he felt that he could become close with Sa Gong-yu, who was hesitating to announce the winner earlier.

And, the atmosphere between those two seemed like they already knew each other.

“Just call me Sa-gong-yu, my full name. That’s fine.”

Everything pointed to one thing.

… Sa Gong-yu feels uncomfortable with Jeong Yeon-woo.

Perhaps just as much as Kim Chun-yong wants to avoid Jeong Yeon-woo with all his might for the sake of his contract with X and his comfortable future.

Or, even more than that.

“… … .”

As Sladex’s final stage began, Kim Chun-yong’s eyes quickly rolled.

How to use this situation.

What kind of effect could that have?

“…haha.”

And soon, a satisfied smile finally appeared on Kim Chun-yong’s lips.

It was as if the strangely spinning gears had found their perfect match.
