10 minutes later.
We arrived at the Joshi Entertainment headquarters.
Although it was located in the same Church-Gate, it was located quite far from Idol Rising Enterment.
An alley full of similar buildings.
Unlike our company, which looks like an ordinary villa, Joshi Entertainment's headquarters building stands out at a
glance.
"wow."
Sunny nodded in admiration from the youngest.
"Did I tell you? It looks nice on the outside."
Wouldn't it be like this if a cutting-edge IT company from a Hollywood movie sets up a Indian branch?
It was a building with clean white walls.
However, the admiration I had outside turned into astonishment as soon as I entered the building.
What is this gloomy atmosphere?
It reminded me of an old building I saw in downtown Delhi when I was in elementary school.
There was something of a gloomy atmosphere.
They must have made a lot of money through Sunfish and Girls On Top, but where did that money go?
"I'm going to the office. Do you want to come with me?"
Everyone waved their hands in response to Director Raju Shah question.
Coming to someone else's company was burdensome, but being in a place with employees was even more difficult.
he said with a smile.
"okay. Everyone go up first. Ms Lilly Watson, she told me to wait in the studio on the 3rd floor because he was going to be a little late."
"How late is it?"
"I don't know. She said she had a schedule early in the morning and she is coming back now."
We nodded and headed towards the stairs.
Raju Shah, standing in the elevator, looks at us and tilts his head.
"Aren't you going to take the elevator?"
"Ah, I think it should be something like this."
"what. Do whatever feels comfortable. Call me later when it's over. I'll come get you."
Actually, it doesn't mean that I shouldn't take the elevator.
But something seems to have to be like this.
It wasn't just me, other guys were like that too.
Would you say this is the kind of insight shared by those who have the status of trainees? It was the same logic as a private who had just joined the unit being concerned about the use of the auxiliary facilities.
The five timid people went up the stairs to the third floor.
It was a Quiet hallway.
We stuck our heads in that direction and exchanged conversation as if we were having a strategy meeting.
Lowering our voice.
"Hey, where did he tell us to wait earlier?"
"A studio."
"Isn't there more than one or two studios?"
Approximately 7 rooms.
Moreover, all the doors had no windows, so it was difficult to open them to see if anyone was inside.
"Shall I ask the manager, bro?"
"okay."
As I nodded to Gary's answer, I soon saw the members doing nothing and just looking at me.
"What? Do you want me to call him?"
"Yeah, go ahead. It's better to clarify than to wander around aimlessly," Avi replied, nodding in agreement.
I took out my phone and dialed Raju's number, waiting for him to pick up on the other end.
After a few rings, Raju answered, his voice coming through the line.
"Hey, Raju, it's me. We're on the third floor, but we're not sure which studio Lilly Watson asked us to wait in. Can you clarify?"
There was a brief pause on the other end before Raju responded.
"Got it. Thanks, Raju."
At that moment just as I was about to tell guys the room number we have to wait, A frond door of the room opend and someone walks outside.
All our attention settled on them.
They were group of girls with dedicated features.
Girls on top.
It was strange to see the faces I saw on TV in real life, and I felt like ' they look just like the ones on TV.
There is no such thing as aura.
It just feels so amazing?
"Oh, I'm tired."
"Our manager told me to come down quickly because we are behind schedule?"
"Why are they urging us on like this?"
Perhaps because recording was difficult, th
ose who were chatting among themselves with haggard expressions soon stopped talking.
Because they found us.
A situation where our eyes meet and both are embarrassed about something.
I could hear people muttering among them
selves like, "What is this?" and "Who are they?"
They seem wary because we are strangers to them.
We were in a hurry because we missed the right time to say hello to our senior singers.
After the moment of tense silence one of them came out.
"excuse me."
She was a member who had pure white skin and looked like a cartoon character.
Hana Dubey.
When I waw in my two long year away from Idol industry and was at home in Delhi, My friends would scream at every time she appeared on TV.
When I actually heard her voice, the tone of her voice was a bit high.
"I've never seen a your face before. Who are you guys?"
"Oh, hello."
As I bowed my head politely, the other guys followed suit and said 'Hello'.
These are the people you will meet when you debut anyway.
I smiled, thinking about making a good first impression.
"I came because I decided to work on a song with Lilly Watson."
An awkward 'hello' was heard from there too.
"Ah, you're a singer. I think you're a rookie. Did you debut?"
"We haven't debuted yet."
"…Yes?"
"We are still trainees-"
"ah. what."
Hana made a bewildered expression.
"Were you a trainee?"
At that moment, the cautious atmosphere on the other side disappeared.
I see faces like, 'What, I said hello for no reason?'
I feel sorry for my group members who are struggling to manage their facial expressions that harden in real time.
Well, it didn't take much of a toll on my mentality.
I feel somewhat bitter because I feel like I have had a glimpse of the true face of the entertainment industry, where attitudes vary depending on one's level.
Hana shook her head and nodded.
"Oh, well… Then, have a good time at work."
With those words, Hana passed us as if there was nothing much to say.
They rush along accordingly.
It is as if you are watching a pride of lions moving along with their leader. But one of them remained.
What was the name of this one?
I do not know.
The eyes of the Girls On Top members who remained as if they didn't care about us were only focused on Avi.
But it's a bit strange.
It's so hostile that I can feel the fire burning in its eyes.
"Hey, Avi."
"huh?"
"Why don't you say hello to your senior when you see her?"
"senior?"
Avi tilts his head.
"They are not senior? We're in the same grade."
"I'm the senior here, right?"
The member who was reacting harshly glances at us. Then she opened her mouth in a barbed tone.
No...
Strictly speaking, it was time to say something.
Other Girls On Top members are calling from the elevator in the distance.
"Aina! Why don't you come quickly?"
"Hana, I-"
"Hey, the manager made a fuss to come quickly!"
Aina took a deep breath, glared at Avi, and walked away with a 'see you later' look in her eyes.
While hitting Avi, who was blocking the road, on the shoulder.
After Aina got on for the last time, the elevator door in the distance closed.
Going all the way down from the 3rd floor to the 1st floor.
As they left us here alone, I remember what Raju said to me.
Then I looked around at my group members who didn't have good expressions.
"It's the last room in hallways, We have to wait there."
After moment of silence I opened my mouth and said
"Let's head to the last room in the hallway and wait there as Raju suggested."
With a nod of agreement from the others, we made our way down the hallway, feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness after our encounter with the Girls On Top members.
The atmosphere in the hallway was tense, with everyone exchanging uncertain glances as we walked. It was clear that our unexpected encounter with the famous singers had left us all feeling a bit unsettled.
