Time passed and before we knew it, this activity period was also coming to an end.

The day had come to complete Flora’s final schedule.

“What should I do? Can I just say I’m a big fan of you?”

“Big fan of you…”

Han Da-min laughed incredulously and waved her hand dismissively.

“That’s embarrassing, so absolutely don’t say things like that. Really. The fans would be embarrassed too.”

“But what can I do when I’m really a fan! Wow, we’re really going to meet them? I can’t believe it.”

But even the members who scolded Min Ha-young for making a fuss looked quite excited themselves.

To actually meet pop stars we could only see on YouTube, Hollywood movies, and award shows.

And it’s because they wanted to meet us, not the other way around.

This isn’t just an opportunity for us – it’s just such an exciting and thrilling situation.

“Still, let’s not show that we’re too happy or nervous. They might feel burdened instead.”

“Right. We’re going there to collaborate, but I personally think it’s a bit much if we show that we like them too one-sidedly.”

“Th-that’s true.”

Min Ha-young finally calmed down and sat quietly only after my and Han Da-min’s criticism.

But that didn’t mean her excited heart had settled down.

Han Da-min put on earphones and quietly started watching YouTube videos of Cael Arden and Lyla Bale, whom we were going to meet, while Min Ha-young, Seo Ra-eun, and Choi Song-i were whispering and still talking about today’s upcoming meeting.

Actually, I’m just as excited.

I don’t have big fantasies or dreams about Hollywood stars like Ha-young, but it’s enjoyable to meet and collaborate with singers I’ve always listened to but thought I’d never meet in my lifetime.

Most of all, I’m extremely curious about how this short collaboration will turn into a big event for us.

‘Of course, assuming this is the event the mission is talking about.’

Despite my heart beating like crazy, I turned my gaze to the window with a fairly calm expression.

We were already almost at the location we had promised to film at.

“…Is this it?”

“There was a studio in a place like this?”

“There are so many cars. What’s going on.”

Even before entering, exclamations and impressions poured out from the members.

A studio we arrived at after driving for a long time to a deserted place.

Since they’re famous pop stars, I thought they chose a quiet studio, but there are way too many people and cars for that.

And foreigners and bodyguards visible inside and outside the studio.

Still, since the schedule itself wasn’t announced separately, no reporters or fans were visible at all.

‘…Or not. Are they just hiding and filming?’

Anyway, our members instantly became quiet, as if overwhelmed from the moment they saw the cars lined up outside the studio.

Our kids always lose their spirit before doing anything. Even after practicing so much.

“Hmm…”

In my estimation, this seems like a quite important schedule for the mission.

Since I want our members to not lose their spirit in front of overseas stars and do as well as they practiced, should I try using this for now?

[Buff Random Box]

I had used up almost all the ones I’d saved from clearing various sub quests recently, but since hardly anything useful came out, I quit after leaving 2 remaining.

‘If something helpful comes out…’

“Let’s go in.”

I followed Manager Seong Ji-soo toward the studio while opening all the remaining random boxes.

And what came out was.

[Master of Persuasion]

[Buff of Oblivion]

Oh? This comes out at this timing?

I quickly pressed down the corners of my mouth that were about to curl up with my hand.

Master of Persuasion comes out whenever I open random boxes, so I already have three stacked up, so I’ll skip that for now.

Buff of Oblivion.

This was the buff I had given to Seo Ra-eun in the early days of Start Plan when she kept making mistakes due to nervousness and pressure.

After receiving the buff, Seo Ra-eun performed on stage without any burden and was able to finish her part without mistakes.

It’s exactly the right buff for this situation where our spirit has been crushed.

According to the buff description, Buff of Oblivion is A-grade.

Perhaps because of that, it was one of the buffs that absolutely never came out no matter how much I tried.

To have this come out at this timing, I’m really lucky.

I used the group management system to share the buff with all members and additionally gave myself the Master of Persuasion buff.

‘Just in case.’

Master of Persuasion is overflowing to a disappointing level anyway, and I have a feeling I might need it today.

If there’s even a little conversation that could lead to additional collaboration, I’ll grab onto it immediately.

After passing countless cars and entering the studio, the interior was quieter than expected.

Unlike the outside which was noisier than any other venue, this place had a more static and quiet atmosphere than anywhere else.

…A bit excessively so.

As we stood still as a group, overwhelmed by the atmosphere, the production staff quietly approached and greeted us.

“You’re here? We’ve been waiting for Flora. Please come in.”

“Hello.”

This is strange. They’re definitely welcoming us, but why are they greeting us with their voices lowered?

Plus they keep glancing somewhere and seem to be reading the room.

When we looked at them strangely, the production staff noticed our gaze and smiled awkwardly.

“Ah, sorry. We were asked to keep it quiet.”

“By the director?”

“No. By the… other performers.”

“…”

We exchanged glances silently, not knowing how to react.

When they say other cast members, they mean Cael Arden and Lyla Bale, right?

So all these people are holding their breath for those two?

‘…Is this right?’

No matter how snobbish Hollywood stars are…

The atmosphere was about to become slightly awkward. Seo Ra-eun awkwardly raised the corners of her mouth and spoke in a voice full of consideration.

“Are you perhaps in the middle of an interview?”

Right, they came to Korea for movie promotion, and to make efficient use of their short visit, they might be conducting interviews during waiting time too.

If they requested understanding for this, it would be understandable.

But the production staff looked even more embarrassed and shook their heads.

“That’s not it, they’re quite sensitive to noise so they asked for understanding for condition management. They said they’re tired because the Korea visit schedule is too demanding… Sorry.”

“Pardon? No. There’s nothing to be sorry about at all.”

Han Da-min hurriedly waved her hands and signaled to Manager Seong Ji-soo. Seong Ji-soo nodded and said.

“We understand. They could be tired. We’ll also be considerate and prepare quietly.”

“Ah, no! That’s just the situation, but the performers can prepare comfortably! We’re just being careful in case we’re noisy while setting up equipment and other things. Please feel comfortable!”

“We understand that too. Where is the waiting room?”

Right. Since they specially came to Korea, let’s just be considerate so they can have a good time and leave.

It’s not like they’re specifically being demanding toward us. They’re probably just doing what they usually do.

And what would we do, get into arguments about manners with them…

If conflicts arise and become known to the public, we’d be the ones getting criticized for no reason.

We quietly headed to the waiting room. Naturally, the members’ eyes, which had been full of anticipation and excitement for the long-awaited meeting, became lifeless.

“Well, you know. I heard overseas stars request various options for their waiting rooms. Like maintaining room temperature, or filling the room with the scent of specific perfume.”

Han Da-min, thinking that the atmosphere of our first meeting would become awkward at this rate, tried to rationalize their behavior.

“They’re people for whom working in such environments is natural. It’s a cultural difference! Let’s understand and get along well. It’s a good collaboration project. You know? Straighten your expressions.”

I nodded while watching Han Da-min encourage the members so earnestly that it was almost pitiful.

“Right. We’re professionals, so let’s just relax and do well.”

Oblivion Buff Effect: As long as the buff is active, emotional states change according to the player’s instructions.

Therefore, our members who currently had the buff soon seemed to accept what Da-min and I said, showing slightly more relaxed smiles.

“Yeah, well. It wasn’t like they were being rude to us. They said we could stay comfortable, but we came in quietly out of consideration.”

The members nodded at Min Ha-young’s words. I watched the members and then stood up.

“Then since we’re talking about it, let’s go. We’re appearing together, so we should at least say hello.”
