Keun Sejin believed me.
'How did this happen?'
I didn't know. I even turned on the status window to see if I had received any corrections last night, but nothing happened.
In a completely peaceful state, Keun Sejin understood my situation.
'This will work.'
I was still bewildered. But… Of course, it wasn't that I didn't like it.
It was a bit odd. Because I had never been so honest before.
I didn't even predict that his attitude wouldn't change even after hearing all the stories.
Thanks to him, today's concert… I think I overdid it.
'I feel like my lungs are about to collapse.'
"Here you go!"
"Thank- thank you."
I gasped and looked down at the towel and smartphone the staff gave me.
'I didn't even go this far.'
In fact, within this was the fallback I had prepared for the revelation last night.
'Keun Sejin has a realistic personality.'
And I thought that in order to convince such a bastard of bullshit that would come out of a web novel, I had to bring in real evidence.
But could there be such a thing?
The only thing that existed was the circumstances.
'Testimonies of those involved.'
The only cards I could use were words, so I tried to secure at least a variety of cards.
First of all, Ryu Chungwoo.
- Of course, I can do it if I'm able to help.
Even so, I asked the two of them to talk first.
Next was Keundal.
-I… Doing a video call with Lee Sejin?
This guy was a great welcome. Nothing more to say
In addition, I even made an appointment with Keundal to meet later with Keun Sejin.
The problem was…
"… …"
Wouldn't there be a corner of suspicion if I only recruited people who were friendly with me or who he didn't know well?
From the perspective of Keun Sejin, the spectrum was correct only when one person who was hostile was involved.
Cheongryeo.
-Is that so?
He seemed to wonder, 'Why did you do that?', but he didn't refuse.
He just said this.
- It doesn't matter, but… I don't recommend it.
- He won't believe it.
Yes, fucker. Actually, I doubted that too.
But he believed me.
'He believed only after hearing my explanation.'
I wouldn't deny it. It could have been because he was sleepy and out of his mind, but when it was all over and I went back to my room late at night, the top of my head was thrilled.
Thanks to that, I did something that would have been buried with controversy if I posted it on the Internet yesterday.
In the early morning before going to bed, I texted the senior.
[He believed me.]
And this was the reply I received this morning.
[Is that so?]
[Let's bring him next time ^^]
Was he crazy?
'Why is he inviting him naturally?'
I didn't know what he meant. I took my eyes off my smartphone with uneasy eyes.
It was then.
"… What are you doing?"
"I was wondering if there was any contact."
"I see."
Bae Sejin just spoke. The guy paused, and finally spoke with an expectant face.
"You guys… Did you reconcile?"
I laughed. I thought he didn't have time to talk because he was preparing for the concert, but he asked as soon as it was over.
"Yes."
"Whew…"
Bae Sejin let out a long sigh of relief as if his tension had been relieved. He was about to sink into the ground.
I looked at the guy again.
It was said that the meeting time was delayed thanks to this guy.
"Thank you."
"What, what."
"Apart from delaying the meeting time, you told Lee Sejin to talk to me."
"… ! D-did you hear?"
"Yes. Not intentionally, but accidentally. Thanks to that, I also had the courage to apologize."
Bae Sejin's face reddened. I chuckled.
"But you didn't even have to apologize to him."
"I know, I was just trying to talk… !"
"…"
Really?
"He totally had a certain atmosphere…"
"… …"
Was it that obvious?
It looked as if Bae Sejin's soul was going to fly out of his mouth.
"I-I've never been in a situation like this before… I don't know if I did well."
"You did well."
He had been thinking about that until now. What was he talking about?
Still, I understood what Bae Sejin meant. Did that guy have a history of trying to mediate between peers?
'Even when he was in school, he seems to have voluntarily beat everyone else.'
I guess he didn't know that his first attempt would work so well.
"Yeah, anyway… I'm glad you guys made up…"
Bae Sejin seemed to be burned white, as if he had consumed his vitality in a different experience, but he looked very proud.
'Should I make him a late-night snack?'
As I opened my mouth, I saw that Keun Sejin had stopped talking to Ryu Chungwoo and was approaching this way.
'Did he mark each thing with Ryu Chungwoo?'
This was the first time things have felt this way. And after Keun Sejin approached me, he gave me a few glances and then started talking to Bae Sejin.
"Here, hyung."
"Huh?"
"Thank you. I heard from Chungwoo hyung. I heard you delayed the meeting time?"
It looked like Bae Sejin was thinking, 'Did he tell him that too?', but pride soon seemed to win.
"Well, we are a group. It's good to understand all of these things together. … And! I wasn't the only one who thought that way… Everyone else agreed too."
"… …"
"Well, um, it could have interfered with work, well, it could be, but this too…"
"I don't think so."
"… !"
Keun Sejin stroked his neck. This bastard was embarrassed.
"I didn't know hyung would care so much here. No, and I'm not being sarcastic, I mean it for real."
"… …"
I was going to leave them and slip away, but I decided to stay because there might be another dogfight.
Bae Sejin didn't seem angry, but his expression calmed down.
"Why… You thought I wouldn't care?"
"I thought you would avoid it even if you were concerned about other members' work. It would have been uncomfortable."
"… !"
By the way, I was surprised.
'Why is this bastard saying everything that's in his head?'
Even Bae Sejin's mouth, which was forced to speak through a filter, began to become free.
"It's not that uncomfortable."
"Yes."
"But there was a concert tomorrow, and I got involved in your fight. … I did what I could."
"… …"
"You would have done the same."
"… !"
Keun Sejin's face looked like he had been hit by a blow. Bae Sejin spoke with a pretty plausible expression.
"Kuhm, am I wrong?"
"… No."
At that moment, Keun Sejin relaxed his expression and smiled.
"Of course, I would. Hyung, anyway, I misunderstood needlessly. Sorry."
"… …"
"And thank you. Really."
"Yes. Well, good job."
The atmosphere lightened up a lot. I shrugged.
"… Park Moondae! You did a great job too!"
He dragged me in because he was embarrassed.
"What? Let's go down."
"Oh, yeah."
Only then did the three of us start walking briskly down the hallway. All the others had already gone to the waiting room.
In the meantime, Keun Sejin suddenly laughed and even threw a joke.
"Is that why you were out in the living room when we were roommates? Did you do what you could?"
"No… It's inconvenient."
"… …"
"… …"
"Yes. What."
"Ahem, the next time I'm your roommate… Let's have a little talk."
Keun Sejin took on another challenge.
"Hyung, even when I spoke to you, you didn't even answer properly!"
"No! I really had nothing to say!"
I knew it would be like this.
But honestly, it was much better if they told each other what they didn't like.
'Even though I knew in my head that there was no malice between them, I guess they didn't realize it.'
It seemed to be felt now. I shrugged.
"You know I really don't understand hyung sometimes, right?"
"I know. I don't understand you either."
It seemed that Keun Sejin and Bae Sejin would sort things out this time.
It was a big step forward.
'Things won't explode even if they're together.'
I accepted the unexpected income quite willingly.
• * *
When I entered the waiting room and prepared to go back, I went through a similar process.
-Hyungs! Welcome!
-Hyung, this is delicious. Eat it!
They tried to hide it in their own ways, but it was obvious.
'I know that you guys fought and reconciled, and I'm proud to have contributed in some way'… this was the atmosphere.
Even the staff passed by with a smile as if rumors had spread. Damn it.
-Ahaha, thank you~
Keun Sejin couldn't stop laughing. It seemed pretty embarrassing that they knew it all. I felt the same way.
Even so, he quietly left a message for me.
- Park Moondae, if you have a problem, tell me anytime? I hope you introduce me to that person soon.
Yes. It wasn't bad if he wanted to see it with his own eyes.
'It seemed like he and Ryu Chungwoo talked to each other on their own.'
… I was a bit uneasy. I straightened my shoulders. Then another guy came in.
Seon Ahyeon.
He was sitting alone in a corner watching something, and was startled when our eyes met.
"… ? Why, why… ?"
"It's nothing."
Come to think of it, from this guy's point of view, two people of the same age excluding himself from the group fought and then reconciled.
'I didn't expect him to know this much.'
Besides, in the future… I had another thing to say to this guy.
I glossed over it for now.
"I'm sorry for bothering you."
"N-no… ! I was worried, but I knew you would reconcile."
Seon Ahyeon laughed a little, and then added in a small voice.
"Excuse me… Moo-Moondae, if you have any troubles, it's okay to tell me anytime."
"… …"
I didn't think this guy knew everything… Of course not.
"Thank you."
"What, what."
Seon Ahyeon smiled and started packing his luggage. I thought involuntarily.
'If this guy finds out, how will he react… …'
I didn't know. In the first place, I didn't know if Keun Sejin would believe it, so what?
Well, I don't didn't have any intention of bringing Keun Sejin into this game anyway, so I didn't think Seon Ahyeon would be greatly alienated.
I even lifted my belongings by his side.
Then I found it. Bae Sejin's electronic devices… Hm, was it an e-book reader?
"This is yours, hyung."
"Huh? Okay."
While I was holding it, I handed it to him, and in the process, the device screen lit up.
It was locked, but the title of the book was visible.
[A day that's okay to fight]
"… …"
"… As a reference!"
"Yes"
It was a self-help book.
Really… I guess he worked hard.
'It'd be funny if I didn't praise him here.'
I opened my mouth right away.
"I'm sure hyung… I'm sure hyung will do well once we start."
Surprisingly, Bae Sejin was not frightened by these words. Instead, he murmured in a slightly excited voice.
"I know. It's the same for producing, too. I thought I couldn't do it at first, but once I tried, there were things that worked out well… It was surprising."
"… …"
"From now on… I want to be a little more active."
"Good idea."
"Yes."
Bae Sejin seemed to have made a new resolution.
And the opportunity to fulfill that promise came soon.
A few days later…
"I got an answer from the film company."
"Ohhhh."
Inquiries for an OST for a movie borrowed from the game world of an abandoned factory seemed to have been safely delivered via T1.
However, Ryu Chungwoo, who was contacted by the company, laughed awkwardly.
'… Was it hard?'
"They said yes."
"Oh my god!"
"Wooooow!"
Cha Eugene, who was looking the most forward to it, blew a whistle. However, Ryu Chungwoo's embarrassed expression did not disappear.
"However… The deadline is very tight."
"What?"
No way.
"Looks like we're pushing through. So, if you really want to participate…"
"Then?"
"I heard we have to put out a demo in four days?"
"… !"
It was crazy.
Everyone reflexively looked at Kim Raebin. This was because the situation requires an expert opinion.
But I already knew the answer.
'It's obvious without looking at it.'
As expected, Kim Raebin… His eyes were flashing.
"As expected of Moondae hyung. Concerned about this situation, you brought a strong policy of living together for three days a week!"
"… …"
He could say that.
The K-Pop Hell Camp… was reopening.
