Chapter 117 – Episode 117

[Genesis Eleven Fan Signing Event with ‘Noble Art Hall’]

A large banner hanging in the center. There are yellow tapes written all over the place that say no access.

The idol hasn’t even arrived yet, but the employees are already standing here and there with angry expressions on their faces, with employee passes hanging around their necks. And the huge crowd that makes the employees look like that…

‘Wow, I’m going crazy.’

I feel it every time, but when I come to a place with a lot of people, I feel like my energy is getting faster. Even more so if there are a lot of angry high school girls there.

Head, head, head… Really, no matter where you look, it’s full of headaches. The excitement was such that it was 120% certain that if there had been no yellow tape prohibiting entry, Genesis Eleven would have rushed onto the stage where they were holding a fan signing event today.

Moreover, there are quite a lot of women who are physically so good that I, as a man, am intimidated by them. It may not happen, but I thought that if I were an idol’s bodyguard and thought that a woman like that was going to headbutt me, she might look at me with a scowl instead of Gura.
When you open your eyes, the doctor will probably tell you with a serious expression that your back is broken.

‘Wow, I really don’t know.’

I’m sure there are some girls here who got really lucky and won by only buying 3 or 4 albums. If you think about the number of albums Ohana bought and the price, it means that everyone here spent at least 2 million won on average. Then how much? Crazy.

Even though the probability of success is low compared to girl groups, there is a reason why managers continue to take on the challenge. Really.

‘Almost all of them are women.’

There were quite a few men who seemed to have come simply to watch, but compared to the number of women, it was a bummer. In the first place, how many men would spend 2 million won just to get a chance to hold the hand of an idol?

‘Actually, even ordinary women don’t usually do that.’

So what I want to say is: All the women here right now are people who can hardly be considered ‘normal.’

No, to be precise, I should say that it is sensitive in many ways because everyone spends money. I think I kind of know what it feels like. I also became attached to the character that I worked hard to raise with cash.

Still, compared to the people here, back then I was like a baby, baby.

“I heard you have to wait in line for 2 or 3 hours to get Ricky’s autograph?”

“Too much. If that’s the case, just do one row of basil or herri, and two rows of ricky.”

Who was Basil or Harry? Since I can’t even remember the member’s name, he’s probably an unpopular member. Just in case, I searched on the Internet and found two members with green and light blue hair.

They both looked nice, but unfortunately, they didn’t have any eye-catching charm. Good or bad.

“Hey! What did you just say!”

“What? “What are you doing?”

“What did you just say about having to shorten Hery’s leash!!”

“Did I say something wrong?! There will be few people who want to get an autograph anyway. In that case, you just have to make some concessions! Isn’t it better than just sitting there feeling awkward because it ends quickly? On the contrary, it feels like they are being considerate!”

“What? Hey, you bastard! Stretching the line into two doesn’t mean there will be two Ricky oppas!”

“Fuck! Who are you? Bitch!”

… This is a battlefield. Battlefield.

“Hey, I changed my panties and came back. “There were so many people in the women’s bathroom that I almost went crazy.”

Even though the high school girls right next to them are screaming swear words and fighting while holding each other’s hair, surprisingly, everyone, including Ohana, is not interested. As if this is everyday life.

‘It’s scary, really.’

Men also work hard to take care of their own food. The women themselves were at different levels. Even the reason those women fight is for the male idol they like.

You spend your own money and put in your own effort.

To those fans, Ricky only had to smile a few times.

‘And… Fuck.’

When I thought about it that way, it was so absurd that I couldn’t help but curse. Once again, I was the only one who didn’t see it. I understand why there are so many people called ‘pillars’ in this world.

This is what I felt while following Ohana. It seems that there are more women in the world who serve men than I can imagine. Furthermore, when such women gather in one place, a bloody fight breaks out.

“Isn’t the company doing too much? We need to allow an equal number of fans for each member to receive autographs. “If this happens, my brothers will feel bad because they will feel reverse discrimination.”

“That’s right. What is the crime of the oppas who have to stay quiet next to each other? I’m terrible at work. Let’s enter an inquiry.”

“I have to put it in. “Unconditionally!”

It’s terrifying. Really.

I can understand why the broadcasting station is being particularly careful.

“Under! What is too much? I’d rather be grateful. “How much soybean soup do you get just because you’re in the same group?”

“That’s right. It’s making money, but what’s wrong with feeling bad? “I can make money even if I stay still!”

“Hey! You can’t argue like that! Is money everything?”

“Uh! Money is everything! It’s a capitalist world! Because having a lot of money is cool, right? Oh, don’t you know that it’s because you’re a beggar? If you don’t know, just shut up!”

A fight can be resolved to some extent only if one side gives in, but none of the women who came here seemed to have the word ‘yield’ in their head.

“…”

In fact, by my standards, those are bombs in their own right. Seeing that the situation was quickly resolved by the bodyguards and security guards who skillfully rushed in, it seemed like something like that could not even be treated as a bomb by the standards of a fan signing event. And I immediately knew why.

「Kyaaaaa!!」

Crazy screams that are as loud as the loud cheers that erupt on the completion day of the Nonsan Training Center can be heard coming from the entrance of the art hall in the distance.

“Omg! Ugh!”

Although it was only for a moment, it was enough to stop the accident. As I belatedly swallow the air and turn my head, someone runs towards me, hitting my face with their elbow.

“Oppaaaaa!”

Of all the oppas I’ve ever heard of in my life, he was the scariest oppa.

“Aaaaahhh! Brother! I love you!!”

“Please just take a look!! Please look here!! I love you oppa!! I really love you so much!! “I love you more than my own life!!”

“Aaaaa!! I’m dying! Brother, I love you so much! “You look so cool today!!”

A mess… Even the word is not enough. This is just madness. No, to be honest, even quite a few pseudo-religion fanatics would give up.

Several rows of yellow tape were cut, and the bear-like bodyguards pushed back the zombies that were pushing through them. If this isn’t war, what is it?

Meanwhile, is there anything that surprised you?

“Aren’t you going?”

Ohana is standing calmly next to me. I still remember. She held up a sign saying ‘I love Ricky’ and she shouted it louder than anyone else.
I think Ohana at that time was similar to the women over there, but she wasn’t different.
Now…

“You want me to put my body in there? “Do you want to kill someone?”

It was so calm. To be honest, what can I say?

Maybe it’s my imagination… If I had to compare it, I would say it is similar to the face that suddenly loses interest in a game that you were enjoying very much.

No way, I was thinking, but the screams of madness that had been coming from far away were gradually coming this way. That meant that the members of Genesis Eleven were coming this way.

You can’t really see it, but you can vaguely see members with different hair types smiling and waving their hands. Of course, Ricky, an ugly blonde, is also in the mix.

“Kya! Ricky oppa!!”

As I watched Ohana quickly start screaming, I wondered if it was my mistake. Ricky passes by without even looking this way. Rather…

‘Huh?’

Was it Heri, the unpopular member of Genesis Eleven that we checked when the commotion broke out earlier? A child with dyed light blue hair.

He was seen shaking Ohana’s hand when he found her. What? Is this also an illusion?

‘To say it was an illusion, I think we met her eyes correctly.’

While she was tilting her head, the fan signing event was going on steadily.

“Hello. We have come to bring about a revolution in our times!”

“Genesis! Eleven! It is!”

With 11 people in attendance, the podium for the fan signing event, which seemed so spacious, felt narrow. The fan signing event began with a gentle greeting and words of gratitude from leader Ricky.

“Because our luxury is the most precious. “I hope everyone will stop fighting and keep order.”

What a pretentious bastard. You speak well.

When I look at the extremely kind smile towards the fans, I can’t help but think it was because the guy I saw before was really sensitive. Wow, could it really be an illusion? Maybe I was in a particularly bad mood at that time, or maybe the manager really wasn’t doing his job.

Maybe I’m wearing colored glasses for no reason because I’m jealous of Ohana’s liking for Ricky.

‘Okay, even if it’s a misunderstanding, I don’t feel sorry at all.’

Since Ohana was pushing that kid as her favorite, I was already in a position where I couldn’t accept that kid positively.

“Only people holding a QR code can enter, but it doesn’t matter if you are in line with a couple.”

“Yes? Ah, yes!”

I think they saw us as a couple. I don’t feel bad.

[Genesis Eleven, Ricky]

There was definitely a long line for popular members. Although the speed of reduction was quite fast, it was clearly comparable to that of other members.

… If it were me, I might feel a little dirty. Even though it is the same group, if there is such a difference, it feels like a comparison.

“Next, please enter.”

Meanwhile, the line was steadily shrinking.

I was still looking around closely, hoping that something like a huge bomb would explode and destroy this fan signing event.

I thought that if that major league cap that I saw in front of the studio was really the bastard watching over Ohana, she might be here too.

‘Ah, but there’s no way I could wear the same fashion here?’

That bastard even made real eye contact with me.

Tsk. Should I have just chased after him without fear despite his gangster-like appearance? While thinking this, I cuddled up next to Ohana. Suddenly, I saw one of her hands reaching out in this direction. To be exact, towards Ohana’s wrist.

What is it?

“Ugh!”

Reflexively, she snatched his hand and squeezed it, letting out a faint moan. She calmed her startled heart and identified the owner of her hand. He was a fairly dependable-looking man. His height is a little shorter than mine, but he is a bit bulky. The deep dark circles under his eyes seem to show signs of distress.
No, that wasn’t important.

“What are you?”

I asked coldly, but the man didn’t pay any attention and was only looking at Ohana. Ohana also widened her eyes and froze after seeing this man.
No way…

“Ha, it’s one. My, I was wrong… !”

The man started shaking his mouth a few times and then said something shocking.

“Let us meet again. Huh?”

At that moment, a bomb exploded in my head.
