In preparation for our comeback, our Day Entertainment recently hired staff on a large scale to support Flora, which has grown significantly in size.

This naturally included Security and Managers who always travel with us.

Manager Seong Ji-soo, who had been caring for all of Flora until now, became the manager overseeing the team, and new managers were assigned to each individual member.

Most were experienced hires who came through introductions from existing Staff, but naturally some were new employees who came through job postings and interviews.

Those Staff Members are attached under existing Staff, spending all day with Flora and learning about the industry step by step…

I suspect them.

I mean, not as the Culprit…

‘It seems like there’s someone giving information to the Culprit.’

Or maybe it’s a Culprit who maliciously uses acquaintances to torment us by utilizing other people through such methods.

‘Otherwise…’

How could they know and dig up such private details, and even get inside our Dormitory?

Without realizing it, I bit my lips and became lost in thought, when the Car arrived at the Company.

I headed straight to the Representative’s Office without delay and met with Kim Ja-in.

Of course, right now this impromptu meeting between me and Kim Ja-in is known only to Manager Seong Ji-soo, me, and Kim Ja-in.

…Unless even the phone conversation leaked out.

***

“There’s no way to get into the Dormitory. Unless an internal Employee took it and sent it to the Culprit.”

“Exactly… I wasn’t without such thoughts, but seeing this makes me certain.”

Kim Ja-in looked seriously at the photo of me sleeping taken in the Dormitory, then spoke with an incredulous expression.

Right now our Dormitory is absolutely impossible for outsiders to enter.

It’s a Home with security so tight that there isn’t a single gap for entry.

Not to mention CCTV, there are actual people attached 24 hours taking turns monitoring.

But in such a situation, a photo of me sleeping was taken?

If breaking in is impossible, then it’s much more likely that someone inside took it and gave it to them.

Among them, it’s most likely one of the Managers who can easily come and go from the Dormitory even when there’s no schedule.

“Hmm…”

Kim Ja-in stared quietly at my phone screen for a long time, then handed it back and spoke in a tired voice.

“Okay. I understand for now. Ji-ye, go back to the Dormitory. I’ll investigate internally within the Company.”

“Yes.”

Kim Ja-in looked truly tired, troubled, and even annoyed, but as if she’d experienced this many times before, she skillfully made phone calls and gestured for me to leave.

‘It’s surprising that she even has data on this.’

Just what kind of incidents happened with the idols Kim Ja-in has raised until now that she handles such matters with an “here we go again” expression rather than surprise?

‘The Entertainment Industry…’

Though it’s not something I should say as someone who’s been in this industry for almost 10 years, it really was a world where you inevitably experience all sorts of incidents.

“Then I’ll leave it in your hands.”

I suppressed a sigh and stood up from my seat.

Surprisingly, that perverted stalker who sent daily messages couldn’t know about this meeting known only to the three of Us here, so they didn’t send any related content.

It rather confirmed that there’s someone inside giving information.

Since we met without internal people knowing, they couldn’t know what I’m doing right now.

“Hmm…”

I came out since she said she’d investigate on her own.

But it feels really unsettling. Thinking that I might be working with a Culprit whose identity I don’t know.

Should I just ask them to temporarily exclude New Managers from schedules for a while?

That might be better.

Thinking this, I headed back to the Dormitory.

***

It seems CEO Kim Ja-in thought the same thing I did.

We decided to continue activities without New Managers for a while.

This sudden decision increased the workload for existing Staff Members and experienced personal managers, causing temporary confusion, but they quickly adapted and did their respective jobs.

Should I say it’s surprising, or that my prediction was right as expected?

Once we started activities excluding all New Managers, the messages from that bastard who amazingly found out about my private life daily and sent photos clearly decreased.

I can’t be certain, but I can think that there was someone among the New Managers who was giving information.

‘Though messages still come daily, which is still the same.’

“So tiresome, so tiresome…”

As I muttered while looking at today’s message, a familiar voice came from right beside me.

“Who is, me?”

When I quickly turned my head, Kim Gwang-cheon was looking at me with a grin, like an uncle teasing his niece.

I hurriedly stood up and greeted Kim Gwang-cheon.

“No, not you. It couldn’t be you. Haha.”

“Haha. I know, I know. I heard the story. You’re having a hard time these days. Still going on? There were many articles about non-custodial indictments and lawsuits.”

“Even after doing all that, they keep coming out. There are still quite a few people we haven’t caught.”

“They must have nothing better to do. Looking at the idol kids I film with, they suffer a lot.”

Kim Gwang-cheon clicked his tongue and shook his head as if genuinely sympathetic.

Somehow it seems like I meet This Person every comeback in this life too?

Even back during Choux Cream days, when we were so failed we might not have even had comebacks, he somehow called us to radio every comeback.

This time it’s not Kim Gwang-cheon calling us, but Production Staff who look favorably on Flora.

That’s right.

I’m currently at another variety show Filming Location.

According to the status window, our Members’ broadcast sense is utterly terrible, but somehow our potential explodes well, so variety programs that call us every comeback have emerged.

Today I came alone without the Members for an individual schedule, and whether by coincidence, I ended up filming with Kim Gwang-cheon again this time.

However, while Kim Gwang-cheon usually did dynamic and extreme variety shows involving physical movement, the new variety show he joined this time is unusually a talk broadcast.

Kim Gwang-cheon on such a broadcast? He’s someone who complained that even the radio he regularly appeared on felt unsatisfying because it was just sitting still and moving his mouth.

…But as I thought, it wasn’t just a talk broadcast.

It was a talk show that involved talking but rolling the Performers over and over to somehow create laughter.

Of course, it’s the Regular Cast Members who get rolled around, not the Guest.

The Guest just sits quietly, talks, and laughs while watching the Performers work hard rolling around being funny.

Most of the schedules coming to our Members recently are only talk broadcasts like this where we sit quietly and just talk, or broadcasts where we Sing.

I wonder if it’s a schedule considering our Members’ increasingly deteriorating condition.

Anyway, Kim Gwang-cheon seems to understand my situation and condition, so he doesn’t seem to plan on rolling me around today.

Seeing him tell me to cheer up and then immediately go to the regular cast and give various instructions.

‘At least he recognizes that I’m an idol.’

I thought he considered me a fellow variety Performer and would roll me around.

I wasn’t in the mental state to work hard rolling around and being funny with Kim Gwang-cheon like before, so how fortunate.

The moment I let out a deep sigh and turned off my phone.

“We’ll start filming!”

The Production Staff’s booming voice was heard and the Cast Members began heading to the Set Studio.

I also headed to the Set Studio.

“I’m listening to your songs well~ Please take care of me today, Ji-ye!”

“Yes, please take care of me, senior.”

Familiar broadcasters I’d only seen on broadcasts greeted me awkwardly one by one, lightening the atmosphere.

Don’t worry. I’m good at putting on a poker face.

I greeted them politely and looked ahead. Filming had started.

“The hot talk show that chatters without topics! If it’s fun, that’s enough! Let’s start!”

“Waaaah!”

In sync with Kim Gwang-cheon’s shout, the Cast Members cheered and clapped.

“I was worried we’d fail after just the first episode, but somehow we’ve survived this far?”

“Right? Even while filming, I thought ‘what the hell kind of program is this’ and that it would flop.”

The Cast Members started ruthlessly trashing the show right from the beginning.
