Chapter 370 – The Idol Maker (8)

“Wow, Gaeun-ah, you feel so good?”

“Okay?”

“Yes! Is that what I used to know? My sister was so moved!”

“Five.”

“I never thought you, who struggled only with your limbs, would follow me to this extent… Can I graduate from the rest of my studies now? Mr Jinsu! Does Jin-soo think so too?”

Haha, sure.”

Today, I heard praise from the choreographer teacher. This week alone, it was already the fourth compliment. This is the effect of the lesson. I laughed thanks to the choreographer teacher who was genuinely happy. On that day, from the day I started the ‘Sex Appeal’ lesson in earnest, every day was a celebration.

Also Vice President… Good to believe

It’s already been three weeks since I danced naked, no, wearing a Brahman. I was finally able to finish the dance lesson without any criticism. Thanks to the vice president, I gained confidence in my ‘sex appeal’, and it was the effect of enjoying the dance itself.

Could this be enough to move on to the next step? I was already looking forward to how much I would grow if I went through the advanced process and stepped on the expert stage. Bust morphing, gaze processing, etc., There are still many things to learn. I wanted to grow more and hear more compliments.

“Ugh, Eun-ah unnie lied to me!”

“Yes?”

“Lesson with the vice president! Is that a special training?!”

“Eh.”

“I was worried because I heard only nagging… What’s this! It was a special dance training! Hey, I was worried for nothing! I secretly stole macarons to give to my sister… “

“What?! Hey Yuki! Were you the one who took my macarons?!”

“Eh, eh eh?! Oops, I told you!”

“Yu Liar! He said he didn’t know, but it was a pure lie!”

“Ehehe, Gomen Ciel-chan. I was kidding!”

“You! It was a limited-edition macaron that I had to work hard to get from Jin-soo oppa!”

Yuki and Ciel look good today as well. My heart warmed when I saw the two people in a friendly relationship. I fooled the members unintentionally, but it wasn’t an atmosphere that everyone cared about. As expected, our members are kind… I smiled a little and stroked Yuki’s soft hair.

“It was nagging at first… Then he taught me if I was frustrated.”

“Ehh, Honto? How? Could it be that the vice president danced in front of her?”

“No, the mindset when dancing… Yes, you taught me things like mindset.”

“Mind… Mental attitude?”

“Yes. Mental attitude.”

“Sister… It’s nagging, that’s it!”

“Oops… Macaron, I just have to give it to my sister.”

“Is it?”

“Of course! Whenever you dance, keep in mind that you are GSB’s idol! That’s not what I said! So, is that nagging or special training? Tsk tsk tsk, anyway, Eun-ah unnie is different from how she looks and is too naive? Unnie needs to be strong like Ciel-chan!”

“What?! What do you mean you need to be poisoned like me!”

“But Ciel-chan! Isn’t it Iljin who makes Jinsu oppa run errands!”

“That, that… “

“Hmph, so Ciel-chan is a strong woman!”

Umm… There’s no reason to tell the truth, right? What the vice president taught me is the mindset for ‘sex appeal’. If I said it carelessly, the vice president could have been misunderstood. So I guess I’ll just have to dismiss this as a nag and move on. Even today, I made the vice president a jerk and nodded without saying a word.

“So Eun-ah worked hard by herself? Huhu, we are very happy.”

“Is it.”

“Unnie, she stays alone every day, practices until late, and then gets off work. Probably the most in terms of practice? It’s completely different from the first album.”

“… Is it.”

“Ah! Eunah unnie’s face is red! Hehe, you must be embarrassed!”

“… It’s hot today.”

Because of the homework given by the vice president, I stayed up late to practice… That seemed good in the eyes of the members. Maybe that’s why I felt like we became much closer than when we were in the first album. If that’s what you’re aiming for, then the vice president is a real genius… Well, for some reason, he’s a good enough person. At any rate, he was a workaholic who only cared about work because he looked like Pervert.

… So, how about extending the lesson time a bit more?

About 3 weeks left now. After three weeks, the lesson with the vice president ends. But I still had a lot to learn. I said at least two months, so it’s okay to extend it a little longer. A serious conversation with the vice president seemed necessary.

“Aha, Siu Oni-chan! Are you here to see me?”

“What, did you come to see me?!”

“I’m here to see both of you.”

“Ehehe, did you hear that? I heard you didn’t come to see your sisters!”

While we were thinking about the lesson time, Siwoo oppa appeared out of nowhere and approached us with a hearty smile. I heard that you had a lot of worries about working on the song, but sure enough, your dark circles were getting thicker.

Hmm, as expected, Siwoo oppa is serious about citrus.

GSB producer Siwoo oppa who made me an idol. If it wasn’t for my brother, I’d just lie in bed and watch dramas or movies… The savior of my life and someone I can trust as much as the Vice President. I think I need to increase my lesson time with the vice president, not only for the members but also for Siwoo oppa.

She is a girl with a smile that shines as bright as the sun. Siwoo Lee, who had high fives with Yuki, smiled and patted her on the head. Yuki was always full of energy and fun to watch. If a kid like this goes on stage, he’ll be cool… After lightly evaluating Yuki, he looked at Ciel this time.

She is a quarter-British girl with light blonde hair. Ciel, who has an exotic appearance befitting a mixed race, has a charm that makes it impossible to take one’s eyes off of him. That’s why she was first chosen as a member of Citrus. She even sings well, and she was an invaluable diva in Citrus.

“Yes? What! Nandayo Oni-chan! What are you looking at?”

“Oops, did you fall for me again?”

As a child, they have a bit of a shy side, but because they are young, they energize the group. Lee Si-woo nodded her head and looked behind them.

“Huh, are you here?”

“Yeah, it’s late. He said he’d be back soon, so he must have had a lot to take care of?”

Eunha, surname is Choi, who is in charge of rap at Citrus. That guy with bobbed hair had more female fans, but he still had a lot of male core fans, and in terms of fandom alone, he was at the top of Citrus. It was a surprising effect that Lee Si-woo somehow prevented him from cutting it with a short cut.

I wish I could calm down a bit…

… He sighed and looked at leader Jinhee Yoo.

Compared to her members full of personality, she has a slightly plain appearance. So, in terms of her fandom alone, she was at the bottom of the list, but… Her die-hard fans of Citros knew how important she was. Jin-hee holds her members firmly in the center so that they don’t shake. He thanked Yoo Jin-hee in her heart and met her eyes with Ga-eun for the last time.

“Hi.”

“Ga-eun, your skills have improved a lot.”

“Admit.”

Lee Si-woo swallowed saliva and gulped at her face, feeling the aura. More matured, she was recently at the peak of her looks. From the image of a ‘girl’, Ga-eun has been reborn as a ‘lady’. Ga-eun’s face was so perfect that it was hard to believe that she had become prettier than she was in her first album.

This idol is a member of Citrus…

As if he was satisfied with that fact, he nodded her head and called her members together and gave them a bombshell declaration. It was a kind of passing on to the members to decide the direction of the title song for the 2nd album.

“Jinhee, because you mediated well in the middle… Let me know when you come to a conclusion.”

In summary, Citrus producer’s order to choose between dance or vocal. Glancing at the troubled members, he carefully slipped out of the practice room. It was the choice of the producer who wanted them to have a sense of identity through this incident.

“Oh, uh, sister! What do we do?!”

“Dancing or singing… That is the problem!”

“Ciel-chan! I know that! Steven Spielberg?!”

“Is it Shakespeare?!”

… What will be the result? Lee Si-woo managed to calm his pounding heart. Citrus’ success was on his mind. Wanting to be an important person to the members, he smiled broadly and went back to the studio.

When my colleagues asked me which of the two was better, I couldn’t bear to answer. It was because I thought I had no choice because I was not good at anything. Yuki is good at dancing and Ciel is good at singing. Wouldn’t the direction be decided only after the fight between the two is over? Until then, I thought I should seek counseling, so I went to the vice president without much thought.

“Ha… Where did this person go again?”

But at the door, I met an unexpected intruder.

“What… It’s the first time I’ve seen your face, are you a newcomer?”

“?”

“Are you deaf? I’m asking Are you a rookie?”

“No.”

“Is that the end? If you’re not a rookie, is the conversation over? You shouldn’t have to tell me who you are! Anyway, the kids who only trusted their faces and came in have no concept.”

“… I’m Citrus Gaeun.”

“… Gaeun? The guy who gets lessons from the vice president? Ha, was that you?”

“?”

“… Heh, it’s pretty.”

“!”

“But if that’s the case, that’s it. You say you have no talent for acting? Then take care of yourself and keep your distance. Don’t bother the vice president about idols”

“… “

“What are you complaining about?”

“… “

“I’m sorry, but is that a fact? So please pay attention… Then I go.”

After getting so angry, the woman leaves the vice president’s office. I don’t know who it was, but she was very offended. It was my first time feeling like this, so I was quite annoyed. It was said that there are many actors with broken personalities, so the rumors were true.

“Poor.”

The vice president looked sad today.
