"uh!"
Break time.
When I drink water and return to the practice room, Avi shouts.
"He is a righteous man! righteous person!"
Various drips that lead from that.
You guys enjoyed this.
Every time I hear the unfamiliar title "righteous person," my group members say something to me, as if they find it amusing to see me getting embarrassed.
While we were taking a break and playing with words like that, our manager Raju Shah opened the door and appeared.
"What, aren't you practicing?"
"What's going on here?"
"Oh."
Raju nodded.
"I came because I have something to tell you. I have three pieces of good news. Which do you want to hear first?"
"Start with the best."
"We have just concluded profit sharing negotiations with Joshi Entertainment. Now that we've signed a contract, you and Lilly Watson will start collaborating right away."
The schedule has finally been fixed.
"Any other news?"
"Secondly, your accommodation contract is over. You can move in starting this weekend, so please adjust your schedule accordingly. The sooner you get in, the better."
There is also accommodation available.
Everyone exchanged glances and muttered something like "Finally" with their mouths.
Finally, as we were expecting some good news, we were taken aback by the words that came out of the other person's mouth.
"Last but not least, the group name has been confirmed. To the New Black you created."
"The new black?"
"why."
Raju tilted his head.
"Is there any problem?"
"No. That's not true."
There was no problem.
"It may be sudden, but after the end-of-year evaluation, the CEO went to the fortune teller for the first time in a long time."
"A fortune teller?"
"There, He asked what the name of the newly launched boy group should be, and they told him to just call it New Black. It feels good."
Who in the world decides the name of a boy group in a fortune teller?
It was absurd.
However, as soon as the team name that the CEO and company employees were thinking of came out of Raju mouth, we changed our minds.
"There were several candidates names. I'll read a few to you. First of all, Guardians. I guess it means protecting the fans."
"… … ."
"Flying Angels. FAG for short."
"… … ."
"Hot voice. They say that the point is to bring out the last note so that people are confused as to whether it is Voice or Boys. Ah, this was dismissed midway."
"… … ."
"Let's see.There was also a black hole. If you fall in love with this charm, you can't escape like a black hole."
Every time we read the group name written on our smartphones, our complexions turned pale.
How did this company survive until now without going bankrupt?
For some reason, they been saying it's unusual since Idol Boys.
When the explanation was over, we desperately squeezed our voices together.
"I think New Black is really good."
"That's right."
Director Raju chuckled.
"Look, isn't New Black the best?"
"yes."
"You may not like the group name a little, but it's not that important. Even if your name is strange, it doesn't matter if you become famous. Look at American kids."
"Did you see that Dostoevsky couldn't sing because it was difficult to pronounce?"
We nodded at his logical speech.
So New Black officially became the name of the team we would debut with.
Raju said as if something interesting had occurred to him.
"You know that?"
"What?"
"The CEO must have given us a lot of bokchae, so the fortune teller said something strange. This is just for fun."
Raju said with a smile.
"The fortuneteller said that you would have great success if you used the name New Black.
"If they use that name, they will probably become the most famous boy group in the world."
That's what fortune teller said to CEO.
We laughed at that.
Because no one could see it, it was nonsense.
After the laughter subsided, Raju continued with a playful glint in his eyes.
"But you know what's funny? Even though it's just a joke, I have a feeling it might actually come true."
His words hung in the air, causing a ripple of uncertainty among the group members.
"What do you mean, Raju?" Avi asked, his brows furrowed in confusion.
Raju leaned back in his chair, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Well, think about it. Sometimes, things that seem like coincidences or jokes end up becoming reality. It's like the universe has a way of playing tricks on us, making the improbable possible."
His words sparked a lively discussion among the group members, each sharing their own thoughts and beliefs about fate and destiny.
"Maybe there's some truth to what the fortune teller said, Gary mused, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.
"Or perhaps it's just wishful thinking," Avi countered, his tone skeptical.
Regardless of their differing opinions, the group couldn't shake the feeling that they were on the cusp of something extraordinary.
As they pondered the significance of their newly minted group name, New Black, a sense of excitement and anticipation filled the room.
"Who knows what the future holds?" Raju remarked with a smile. "But one thing's for sure – we're in this together, and we'll make the most of every opportunity that comes our way."
With renewed determination and a sense of camaraderie, the members of New Black shared a moment of unity, ready to embark on their journey towards stardom.
Little did they know, their path would be filled with challenges, triumphs, and unexpected twists of fate. But with their talent, resilience, and unwavering bond, they were ready to face whatever lay ahead.
As they prepared to take the stage and make their debut as New Black, they knew that their destiny was in their hands – and they were determined to make it shine brighter than ever before.
