Chapter 92 Countdown (1)
Shim Naru glared at Seon-woo with a look of annoyance. He was clearly irritated by our idiot… I mean, Seon-woo.
I’m sorry, Seon-woo. I should stop teasing you for being a fool in my mind.
But today, I was so impressed by how you boldly marched into the enemy camp without a care. I couldn’t help but call you our idiot.
It was only a brief moment, but the misunderstanding caused by the screenshot was definitely not true.
Am I the only one who is too sensitive about this? I scrolled down to the comment section to shake off my doubt.
[- What’s with Shim Naru? He’s been hating on Seon-woo since My Idol days.]
[ㄴ I got the PDF.]
[ㄴ What are you talking aboutㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He’s reaping what he sowed. Did I say anything wrong?]
[- This guy is unbelievableㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Look at his eyes. He should act with that kind of focus.]
There were so many foreign comments that it was hard to find Korean ones. And most of the Korean comments were praising Floss.
But every now and then, I saw some comments that were critical of Shim Naru’s attitude.
I went back to the video.
[Our beautiful memories, those lovely moments]
[I want to keep them forever with you, true love]
The other members’ parts came out first, so it seemed like everything was going smoothly.
The performance wasn’t as intense as a regular stage, but it also wasn’t so sloppy that they were dragging and dropping the lyrics.
It was just the right level of an encore live for fan service. Until Shim Naru’s part started.
‘This guy… really… he never sings his high note part.’
Every time his part came around, he pretended to do fan service and approached the audience with his microphone.
If he didn’t hand over the microphone, he would joke around with the other members and kill time with his cute antics.
‘Does he lack confidence in his live performance?’
I wanted to find out more about this guy, even if it was because of today’s incident, but I didn’t have time.
I had to save my energy for tomorrow’s choreography practice instead of wasting time digging up someone else’s information for a negative purpose.
‘I have a rough idea of what kind of person he is. That’s enough.’
I should avoid getting involved with him and just get through this smoothly.
It was best to stay away from people who had high pride but low self-esteem, especially those who were not mentally stable yet.
I placed my phone quietly on the wireless charger and closed my eyes.

I heard Seon-woo and Yi-jun’s voices from outside the room, but I didn’t care.
***
When you have something you’re eagerly waiting for, time flies by in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed by.
Seon-woo successfully hosted the MC without Seon–young, and the remaining rental period for the practice room was gradually decreasing. Meanwhile, the release date of the song was approaching fast.
There were four teasers that had been uploaded so far, until five days before the release.
The teaser images of all the members except Seon-woo, the center, were revealed.
‘According to Floss’s comeback history, they upload videos according to each member’s concept and time.’
We only uploaded one photo each that we took during the jacket shooting. That was it.
Today, the last teaser, Seon-woo’s concept photo and the music video highlight, was scheduled to be released.
[- Is today the day the last teaser comes out? Wow, I can’t believe the comeback is so close ㅠㅠㅠ]
[ㄴ We finally have something to streamㅠㅠㅠ I made accounts for my mom, dad, and brother. I’m ready to stream right away.]
[The quality of this teaser is so much better than the previous one, don’t you think? Can we expect something amazing?]
[The water is rising fast, but they haven’t built the dam properly. I’m going to storm into WePlanet’s headquarters with a Molotov cocktail.]
[A beautiful woman in her early twenties will also join the fight.]
[- I never thought I would look forward to Monday… I can’t wait to go to work and watch the teaser again. The Clings are really amazing.]
I felt my heart pounding as I saw the fans gathering and discussing the concept and the expected content.
I wanted to show them as soon as possible. Of course, the sooner I showed them, the shorter my life span might be…
But I wanted to see their reactions as soon as possible, since I had done my best to produce the best result.
I wanted to keep working with the members who I thought I would never be involved with half a year ago.
‘For now, today… I should be able to guess from the reactions to the highlight teaser.’
I anxiously headed to the practice room, waiting for the teaser that would be released at 6 p.m., since 6 a.m.
I kept getting distracted by other thoughts and missed a beat.
MyType scolded me harshly.
“Ise, please focus a little more!”
By now, my body moved automatically to the accompaniment, since I had danced the same dance too many times. But even then, it was obvious when I was thinking about something else.
“I’m sorry.”
Kyunghwa looked at me with wide eyes, as if he was surprised that I had a problem with my attitude.
Don’t worry, it’s nothing. I made an OK sign with one hand and focused on the choreography again.
The song too, I had sung it so many times that I should have reached 100% proficiency by now.

I still couldn’t get out of the single digits. They never made anything easy for me.
I was trapped in the practice room all day, practicing and practicing. I ran until the soles of my sneakers wore out and it was time to end the reservation.
“Good job, everyone!”
“Good job!”
“See you tomorrow!”
I finished the energetic greetings and returned to the dorm. It was already 5:50 p.m.
There were 10 minutes left until the highlight teaser was released.
“Right. Today is the day of Seon-woo’s teaser and the highlight, right?”
Yi-jun suddenly shouted in the living room, as if he had just remembered.
“You didn’t know that?”
“No, I knew, but I forgot. I don’t check unless it’s the day of my teaser.”
That was typical of Yi-jun.
Kyunghwa, who had been acting calm and indifferent, gulped down cold water in the kitchen.
“Don’t talk to me, I’m nervous right now.”
Kyunghwa sighed and calmed his chest, as if he had no room for pride.
“What are you so nervous about?”
Yi-jun smiled slyly, as if he was teasing someone.
“Are you afraid of failing again?”
(aftag.Init = window.aftag.Init || []).push(function () { afAPITag.display(“”pw_36580″”) })
“Again?”
Kyunghwa rolled up the mart flyer in the kitchen and smacked Yi-jun’s head.
Then, Seong-won’s cat, who had opened the door, came out of nowhere and meowed at Kyunghwa’s feet.
“Meow!”
It looked like he was trying to stop me from hitting our brother.
“What are you doing?”
As Kyunghwa said something like a third-rate villain in an animation, Yi-jun picked up Aeongi, who was already 2kg.
“Aeongi, save me. Kyunghwa is bullying me.”
“You deserved it.”
Kyunghwa went into his room with a look of contempt and disbelief. Then Yi-jun followed him with Aeongi in his arms.
“Why are you following me?”
“I share the same room with you, so I have no choice.”
He grinned and rested his chin on the back of Aeongi’s head.
Kyunghwa looked at Yi-jun with an expression that seemed to say, ‘Maybe I should kill him…’
It was strange that Kyunghwa was still sparing Yi-jun.
“If you ever lose your patience and do something to Oh Yi-jun, I’ll pay you the security deposit.”
He said as he sat on the sofa in the living room and scrolled down his feed.
He was quite nervous about the teaser release, but his voice was calm.
Yi-jun screamed when he heard my words.
(aftag.Init = window.aftag.Init || []).push(function () { afAPITag.display(“”pw_36581″”) })
“Evil landlord! Conglomerate! Corrupt!”
“Stop talking nonsense.”
Then laughter came from somewhere.
“Pfft, hahaha…”
The owner of the laughter was none other than Seon-woo.
As three pairs of eyes fixed on Seon-woo, he sensed that something was wrong and looked around.
“Am I not supposed to laugh right now?”
There was no such thing. I snorted and answered.
“No, it’s not a situation where you can’t laugh, but…”
As I casually answered Seon-woo and refreshed the page, the clock changed from 5:59 to 6:00.
“Wow, it’s up!”
Kyunghwa was the first to notice the time change and looked at his phone as if he was going to stick his face to it.

What was that at the end? I don’t remember agreeing to that when we confirmed. It must have been added by the agency.
(aftag.Init = window.aftag.Init || []).push(function () { afAPITag.display(“”pw_36582″”) })
We had already discussed what scenes would go up. But when I thought that this was finally released, I felt a new emotion.
[- OMG it’s out]
[- It’s up ㅅㅂㅅㅂㅅㅂㅅㅂㅅㅂㅅ I’m going to watch it right now]
[- Crazycrazycrazy Rimdol it’s up]
[- Did you see the Climax MV teaser?]
[ㄴ YES!!!]
My feed was instantly flooded with noise.
The part that was released as a music video highlight teaser started with Seon-woo and ended with me.
It was a 30-second version edited with the best 4-5 seconds of each member’s visuals, including the logo and the release date schedule.
The outfits were quite futuristic dystopian, which was already revealed in the image teaser.
‘What if they say it’s too overdone… or childish.’
My hand that was refreshing the feed suddenly slowed down.
Even if the reaction was negative, there was no time to change it now. The song release was next Monday, and the first comeback stage was next Friday.
‘Please be satisfied with this, even if it’s not up to your expectations. It’s better than last year’s.’
I clasped my hands and took a deep breath, as if praying to a God I didn’t believe in.
Pposili barked as if to remind me of himself, with a woof-! that only I could hear.
‘Thanks for cheering me up, Pposili.’
Finally, my finger scrolled down and the feed loaded after about 3 minutes of the release.
[- Hello. This is ○○’s mom. Our ○○ is in a state where he can’t do SNS activities for a while because he saw such an amazing video. Please cheer for ○○ to recover soon.]
[- Ah, I’m going crazy. WePlanet, you crazy guys. How can you do this?]
[- I can’t wait until next week. I can’t wait until next week. I can’t wait until next week. I can’t wait until next week. I can’t wait until next week. I can’t wait until next week. I can’t wait until next week.
“Let me go right now.”]
[- You came to burn my October… I’m hitting my forehead a hundred times and calming down and sitting down again.]
[ㄴ ○○, I’m going crazy…
Stop
Losing
Your
Mind
And
Talk
To
Me]
[ㄴ There’s no one sane in Rise right now. We’re on the verge of KIJUL.]
[- I was foolish to think that it would have been perfect if you came out in the summer, considering the timing.]
[ㄴ Wiple had a plan, but I couldn’t stand it and whined.]
This is a good reaction, right? I was surprised by the much more intense reaction than I expected, and looked around at the other members’ faces.
The one I expected to show the most violent reaction, Kyunghwa, was surprisingly very quiet and just staring at the screen.
‘No way…’
I asked Yi-jun, who was close to Kyunghwa, with a doubtful suspicion.
“Did Kyunghwa faint again?”
Before Yi-jun could answer, thud, Kyunghwa collapsed on the dining table with his forehead.
