Assistant Manager Kim Hates Idols - Chapter 102
Only Krnovel
| Episode 102. 50 Minutes Self-Introduction (1)
The spark in the silt that I briefly checked was like this.
≫ As expected
Idol with a job that is so good that it’s suspicious #1
└ I don’t know about anything else, but Castlebin and Idal have both worked part-time at a cafe.
≫ 2X05XX Dosalm Spark
I go to cafes with part-timers like this all the timeㅠㅠ
└ The smoothie that Emperor Ho gives you? You can eat it even in the freezer
≫ As a current cafe part-timer, I really enjoyed watching Do-saeng this week… … !
I was wondering if the cafe part-timer episode would ever come out, but I’m so glad it finally did
I’m so surprised at how well Spark does his job…
I think you’re doing much better than the newbies at our cafe… … Boss, change the part-timer.
└ Thank you for being so kind to our kids. They are good at their jobs and also good at their main job! If you don’t mind, please come see our stage too.
└ It was just ordinary;;; I think it’s over the top to be surprised
└ Oh, you did a good job! It’s not easy for a beginner to not make a mistake with the drinks when there are so many customers. Haha
└ Since it was a broadcast, they probably cut and aired all the complaintsㅎ When I watched it, it seemed like they pushed the editing a lot to position themselves as a good worker by raising the viewer ratings a bit because of the idolㅎ It was obvious what the production team was thinking, so I didn’t like it
└ XX Are you already attached to our kids…? Have our kids grown up enough to be seen as a means of driving up viewer ratings…?
≫ Other kids just come and say, “Wow, your hands are so messy~”
Yiwol and Cheonghyeon are almost like electronic brains lol
PD’s expression when he sees me memorizing the drink that was taken out = my expression
└ The kids really have good memories, lol. It wasn’t for nothing that Lee Wol’s specialty was memorizing subway routes.
└ Please also look at Kiyeon, the dishwashing expert ㅠㅠㅠ Wow, she doesn’t touch scary things like cat blenders… … But she’s so cute how she’s obsessed with water… …
A situation where everyone is mentioned and no one is evaluated negatively.
That was truly the best appeal.
Push was a sensitive issue in an idol group where many people worked together.
Because when someone in particular gets the spotlight, it means that the chances of my favorite member getting noticed decreases.
In the past, this kind of restraint was quite severe among sparklers.
As the team’s appearances decreased due to a series of unfortunate events, there was a fierce battle among fans to seize even a small chance.
‘It might have been less of a problem if the members had shown more friendly relations with each other, but that wasn’t the case either.’
So far I’ve been faithful to giving everyone a role.
As much as possible, with equal portions, equal voice, etc.
And I had no doubt that it was working out well.
“Lee Wol-ah, it’s good to hear about the members, but can you tell us more about yourself?”
Until I heard this at a fan signing event.
* * *
It wasn’t the first time I saw someone who had Kim Il-wol as their favorite.
I wondered what it was about me that made them choose me over these six, but that was secondary.
Those who loved Kim Il-wol had something in common.
≫ Someone who can teach me how to love Spark more than Iwol
Even if it’s a personal live, I always let you know where the members are.
There are many times when I can’t take pictures of myself because I’m busy taking pictures of the members.
Lee Wol says that he practices the latest among the members and that he has to do that much so as not to cause any trouble to the members.
I like you so warmlyㅠ
But every time I go to the private room, all the guys who ask, “Where is Jeho?” should be dead.
For some reason, he thinks of me as a very warm-hearted eldest brother.
These people looked at all my actions very positively. It was to the point where I wondered if I could dare to receive such a warm evaluation.
It was clear that there was something for fans who liked Spark or other members.
Because you can either keep the group from getting bogged down, or you can just work hard to spread the bait that the guys haven’t been spreading before.
but…….
‘What should I do for those who like Kim Iwol?’
… … I couldn’t help but think this way.
Photo? Honestly, I don’t have the conscience to upload it as an idol selfie.
There’s no way that someone would enjoy listening to a cover song like mine, since I only learned it recently.
Dancing… goes without saying.
So, I thought it would be best to just show up on the official cafe every day and send chat messages as often as possible.
“My story?”
“uh!”
In response to my question, the fan in front of me nodded enthusiastically.
“Honestly, I don’t care what you say. But I also want to hear what you like and what you did today.”
Even during the conversation, the fan’s gaze was straight toward me.
“Are you talking about things like hobbies or current affairs?”
“That’s right! Oh, but that doesn’t mean that anecdotes about the members aren’t fun. You know?”
“Of course. Thank you for being curious about my daily life.”
I finished signing with a smile.
And I thought about it while writing a short TMI on a post-it note.
I wonder how I should promote myself.
* * *
The reason I have mentioned the members even in my personal live broadcasts so far was simple.
Those are the guys who should be getting the spotlight, and Sparks fans will be fans of those five.
I didn’t think anyone would be curious about my story.
But after the fan signing event, I couldn’t do the same broadcasts as before. I can’t not do it if the fans want it.
‘The problem is, is the boring daily life of an office worker fun?’
I feel like I sold false and exaggerated products to those who support Kim Il-wol. My heart feels heavy.
I had no idea what to talk about.
I also recalled that Chief Nam’s daughter had been curious about Choi Je-ho’s every move, but at least at that time, the target was Choi Je-ho.
It was disrespectful to him to compare me to a guy who was the center of a group and had high recognition within the team.
I was constantly looking through the members’ autoplay songs and thinking about the items.
Then, my eyes stopped at Lee Cheong-hyeon’s piano cover video of ‘With List’.
‘Shall we play bass?’
Bass was a hobby that was somewhat of a hobby. It wasn’t too far removed from Spark activities, and more than anything, I quite enjoyed it.
Since I suddenly became a trainee and hadn’t touched it for over a year, I knew I would need some practice to get the feel of it, but since I had been playing for nearly 10 years before that, I didn’t think I would get lost too much.
The only problem was that I didn’t have any instruments. It was a waste of money to buy them just to shoot a video.
‘Should I look into second-hand trading?’
I had a headache because things were getting bigger and bigger. I thought it would be better to tell the story of how I couldn’t go to college because I couldn’t pay the tuition and turn into a character who was a total idiot…
“Hey, what are you watching? What is it? Is that my video?”
My eyes were starting to get moist when someone grabbed my hair and pulled me back to reality.
It was Lee Cheong-hyeon who returned to the room.
“Are you monitoring my video? What should I do? It’s so embarrassing.”
“No, that’s not it. I was thinking about what kind of personal video I should shoot, so I looked at it for reference.”
After I finished speaking, I turned off my laptop.
In my opinion, this action meant the end of the conversation, but Lee Cheong-hyeon sat down on the bed opposite Choi Je-ho and asked.
“So? Have you decided on the material?”
“uh?”
“You said you were worried. If someone like you, who never shows that he’s worried, says something like that, doesn’t that mean he’s completely out of his mind?”
The guy’s words pierced my lungs. It felt like a hole had been ripped through my skull, right to the core.
I said this while looking at the guy who showed no signs of leaving.
“That’s true. I don’t know what to do to fill 10 minutes by myself.”
“My brother talks more about us. Oh, and about work?”
“I want to exclude that as much as possible.”
“Uh… … . Then it’s really hard. All I do is my brother’s work.”
“Are you adding fuel to the fire now?”
Lee Cheong-hyeon burst out laughing at my words. The rest of the situation is serious, but he seems to be enjoying this situation.
“Come to think of it, don’t you have any hobbies? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you play around, even when you’re not playing.”
I don’t have any hobbies, of course. As I was rejuvenated, I started reading web novels.
“The only thing I can show you is the bass, but I don’t have any instruments, so that’s going to be difficult. It’s a headache.”
“Bass? There must be a few in the practice room for practice.”
“what?”
Lee Cheong-hyeon continued speaking, pointing his finger toward the company.
“Why, there’s a practice room and a practice room for seniors on the second floor of the building. The practice room has all the band session instruments! They’re not as good as the instruments used when getting sauce.”
As expected from the music powerhouse UA, they may not be good at what they do, but they have a lot of resources. I was so touched that I cried.
* * *
As Lee Cheong-hyeon said, UA had quite a few instruments.
I was able to rent a bass after writing a reservation in the equipment room. When I returned to the practice room that was like a small room and picked up the instrument, I felt an indescribable feeling.
‘I used to hit it a lot when I was a college student.’
He said he hadn’t played since he became poor at speaking, but in reality, he could count on one hand the number of days he played bass since he joined Hanpyeong Industries.
I guess I haven’t forgotten all the fingering techniques. It’s been a while since I even felt the sensation of touching the strings, so I couldn’t help but laugh.
As Lee Cheong-hyeon said, it wasn’t an incredibly good instrument, but since the one I was using was also an ordinary product, it wasn’t uncomfortable.
Now that I had my instrument, all that was left was to choose a song.
If what fans want is the TMI elements of human Kim Yi-wol, covering Spark’s song may not be a good choice.
Then, as I had promised before, I was going to play Park Joo-woo’s favorite song, but then I thought, “Oh no.”
No matter what I think, it all seems to be related to the group. I guess this is what people mean by ‘seeping in’.
but…….
‘If I’ve never asserted myself in my entire life, isn’t it more my nature to stay still?’
Seriously, my head was in a mess.
