Episode 83

While I was in the middle of practicing, the idol who would be co-hosting with me only arrived after quite a long time due to their Japan schedule,

“Starting today, the ranking system will be different. The viewers will participate as producers! And that’s.”

In the end, a problem erupted.

“….”

Hey, Seo Eden. It’s your turn to speak now. Why aren’t you saying anything?

I looked straight ahead without glancing to the side. If I looked sideways now, it would be obvious that this was a broadcast accident.

Seo Eden, with an idol’s instinctive timing, managed to squeeze in their line.

“Ahem! With a significant-.”

Hey. You got the line wrong. The next line is supposed to be ‘globally’.

“Yes, Eden! That’s right. The pre-voting scores and global pre-voting scores will be combined.”

Next was Seo Eden’s part again. I could feel Seo Eden’s panic.

‘…This won’t work.’

In a live broadcast, even a single second of silence can easily be noticed as a broadcast accident. I changed the script.

* * *

Seo Eden was smiling brightly, but cold sweat was running down their back.

‘This is bad…’

They had definitely organized the cue cards properly earlier, but it seemed like several cards got mixed up while grabbing them in a hurry.

“You can vote through the app below! Now Eden. Please say a word to the Music N viewers asking them to vote.”

Seo Eden, who had always trusted their short-term memory ability, was tearfully grateful for Han Yeoreum covering for them from the side.

But they managed their facial expression as if nothing had happened.

“Yes, Music N! We’re waiting for the viewers’ votes, so please show us lots of interest. Now Yeoreum. Could you introduce the next song?”

Seo Eden skillfully looked at the camera with the red light on and acted cute. Then they tossed the comment back to Han Yeoreum.

“It’s a ballad that suits autumn well…”

Finally, the camera light went off. The intro began flowing from the stage.

“Phew…”

Seo Eden quietly sighed. Below the MC Seat, fans were looking up at Seo Eden.

What just happened was clearly Seo Eden’s mistake. They had a feeling that posts like this would soon appear.

[Seo Eden is so half-hearted unlike when performing on stage lol If they’re gonna be so clumsy why even MC, looks like they won’t renew contract and will leave the group shit]

“Sigh…”

Han Yeoreum next to them also let out a big sigh. This wasn’t the time for that. They needed to quickly check the cue cards again, and before that, say thank you.

But then. Han Yeoreum lightly tapped their own cue cards with their hand.

“Yes?”

“Make a roughly troubled expression.”

It was words close to ventriloquism.

Han Yeoreum was looking at Seo Eden with an expression that said ‘Things almost went wrong just now, but it’s definitely not Seo Eden’s fault… There’s some problem? What could be the reason? It was fine even when we were practicing.’

‘Oh, this…’

They got a feeling about something.

A baseless belief arose that attack posts about Seo Eden wouldn’t appear on portal sites. Han Yeoreum deliberately turned their head to look at the Staff Section. And shook their head slightly.

“This one.”

“Uh…”

Then they handed over the cue cards they were holding. Seo Eden received them in bewilderment. Han Yeoreum acted as if there had been a problem only with Seo Eden’s cue cards from the beginning.

“Eden, what’s wrong?”

Questions were thrown one by one from the Fan Section below. Before Seo Eden could answer, Han Yeoreum spoke first.

“There was a slight problem with the cue cards…”

Nice…

Seo Eden was so happy even while knowing they were being petty. They felt like they were gradually moving away from the main page of portal sites.

-Instead of Seoeun, ㅇㅇ should have gone inㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋ Ugh I hate this so much

︎˪For real if they’re just gonna stand there like a folding screen why even MC

It seemed like the countless comments that had dominated their mind were smoothly disappearing.

“Eden, are you okay?”

“You were flustered-!”

When fans spoke to them, Seo Eden managed their expression as always. Then they drooped their eyebrows and nodded.

“So cute-!”

Exclamations burst out from here and there. Staff sent a signal to get ready again.

‘But if they give me the cue cards, what about them?’

Just as Seo Eden’s mind was about to fill with panic again. Without waiting, the camera light came on.

“The next stage is. With a charm that makes you want to keep listening-.”

Han Yeoreum was a real pro. They seemed to have memorized all the cue cards completely.

While pretending to read Seo Eden’s mixed-up cue cards, they continued the show.

‘They could have shown off that they memorized everything…’

It was definitely consideration for Seo Eden. They had once again prevented a situation where people might talk about professional MC Han Yeoreum who memorized everything even when there were problems with cue cards, and clumsy folding screen Seo Eden in comparison.

The stage introduction continued smoothly.

“Yes, please show us the point choreography of your comeback song just once!”

Some of the performers came separately to the MC Seat for brief interviews and song introductions, and fortunately Seo Eden could easily follow simple choreography. Because they were an idol.

“Eden. Didn’t you practice too hard for this?”

Han Yeoreum next to them tried to follow the choreography but laughed as if it was too difficult.

Seo Eden felt relieved. With this, the title of Seo Eden who can’t even MC but stubbornly insisted on individual activities and took up space became distant.

“Eden! Give us a finger heart!”

“Eden-. Wink! Just one wink!”

Seo Eden felt at ease. So they were able to do the best Fan Service ever. Every time they did segments in between, Han Yeoreum was next to them so things flowed smoothly.

After Part 1 ended and during the commercial break before Part 2 started, Seo Eden went inside briefly and sincerely thanked Han Yeoreum.

“Thank you so much… If it weren’t for you, Yeoreum, I would have been in big trouble today. I’ll definitely! repay you.”

Seo Eden bowed 90 degrees. When they raised their head and looked at Han Yeoreum again, their expression was.

“Really?”

It was different from when they smiled brightly in front of the camera.

* * *

As expected of Han Yeoreum. To save a live broadcast that was about to become a mess like this.

I admired myself anew and spoke seriously to Seo Eden.

“Let’s go cost-effectively for now. Don’t say what the problem was this time. Just let people speculate that it wasn’t the fault of us two. Don’t say anything on SNS to let them think that way. Let’s not make innocent staff get cursed at for no reason.”

“Ah, yes. That’s right.”

Maybe because of group life, they understand quickly. I looked at Seo Eden who seemed to immediately understand what I was saying and continued.

“Also later mentioning my name additionally like ‘I was really in trouble then but thanks’… Ugh. No. It’s fine. Just colleagues getting along well is good enough.”

“Ah, yes! I understand.”

And we had to be as careful as possible about what we should be careful about.

It’s good to receive some help from Seo Eden’s overseas Recognition as an idol, but there’s nothing good about being disliked by domestic fans. It’s much better to maintain an appropriately professional relationship.

‘There’s something I’ve been monitoring and watching in my spare time…’

Dramas, movies, plays and musicals all usually have fans moving in minor gallery format on specific sites. That means I know the abyss to some extent.

‘Just thinking about it already makes one corner of my heart feel damp and dark…’

No. Anyway, let’s stop here. What’s important is what comes next.

“But Seo Eden, you’re a professional idol, right? I’m asking you to help me out a bit.”

“Specifically, how…?”
