An unexpected answer.

Even the staff in the conference room begin to murmur.

It was such an unexpected answer.

“Your affiliation is… Blue Porcelain?”

“yes.”

Gil Min-seok asked back because the man was saying such absurd things, but the man answered brightly.

Of course, it’s not that I’m not paying attention, I’m just rolling my eyes and wondering what I did wrong…

There is no one who does not know the faces of the four members of Blue Porcelain.

At least in this conference room.

But it’s absurd that a man in his mid-twenties says blue porcelain.

Still, as if he wasn’t completely oblivious, the man named Dong-chan introduced himself again.

“I’m the manager team. This is Lord.”

It gets even weirder.

If you load it to the manager team.

Aren’t you the low-level staff that picks up and drops off artists?

Basically, the manager team has no reason to participate in this cover planning meeting. The only person who can participate is the team leader in charge, Park Soo-chan. However, Park Soo-chan has been closely monitoring Lee Dong-ha for some time now.

Since Lee Dong-ha is a kid who is like a rugby ball, he acts as a kind of nanny.

Gil Min-seok, whose thoughts had reached that point, asked.

First of all, before discussing disciplinary action, why are you here… … that is the question.

“Why is Lord attending this meeting… … ?”

“The team leader told me to go.”

“If you’re the team leader… … Team Leader Park Soo-chan?”

“yes.”

“why?”

This time, the road manager Dongchan’s answer was blocked.

“I… I don’t know.”

“It’s nice that the answer is refreshing.”

Gil Min-seok laughed in despair.

A low-level employee who doesn’t even know why he’s attending the meeting in the first place.

I felt like I should be punished for not paying attention in the meeting.

At first I was angry, but after hearing everything, I thought it was absurd.

When you feel so weak, you can see your surroundings.

The marketing team inevitably has little say in cover planning.

The planning team, who couldn’t even participate in album planning, had to come up with ideas for the cover planning.

But Chief Gil Min-seok is the one who pushes forward as if he were going to battle alone.

‘I guess everyone is frustrated… … .’

Gil Min-seok walked towards Manager Dong-chan and asked as calmly as possible.

Since the flow has already been interrupted, let’s change the mood.

“What were you looking at? Your girlfriend’s call?”

“Huh? Oh, no. It’s a picture.”

“Girlfriend’s photo? Is it pretty?”

When I put my hand on his shoulder and chin, his whole body fluttered.

I don’t even think about blaming him for not concentrating in the meeting.

Manager Dongchan looked around and answered again.

“It’s not my girlfriend… … It’s a picture of Tae-joo hyung… … . I take pictures, and Tae-ri sometimes takes pictures too… … Team Leader Park Soo-chan takes pictures too… … That’s how it is. We pass them around in our group chat.”

“Turn it around… … and see? The members’ photos?”

“yes.”

A spark flew into Chief Gil Min-seok’s eyes, who had been calming down.

Does he know what he’s talking about?

The people who hit the back of the artist’s head the most, and can hit it the most, are managers.

Because we spend the most time together.

Because it shows you a side of yourself that others can’t see.

Gil Min-seok, who thought they were sharing something like a secret private life, snatched the cell phone of an employee named Dong-chan.

“Can I check my phone? No, I have to. Open the group chat. Right now.”

As if he knew the sin he had committed, he went into the group chat and quietly handed over his phone.

however.

[Team Leader Park – (Photo)]

[Team Leader Park – Are you going to kill Tae-ju hyung?]

[Italian towels – sexy.]

[Team Leader Park – Wow, I feel like a man that age can be sexy when I see you guys. Isn’t it touching?]

[Me – I think Dong-sik hyung is the coolest. Did you see the picture I took before? The one where he was sweating and playing the drums?]

“… … ?”

Gil Min-seok scrolled upward with his fingers.

[Team Leader Park – (Photo)]

[Team Leader Park – Dong-ha looks cool even from the side.]

[Italian Towel – Ah… … But Dong-ha isn’t crying right now… …? What should I do… … .]

[Team Leader Park – The content is confidential. But… … Honestly, I didn’t want to take a picture because I felt bad about it. But I wanted to leave a record, so my fingers moved without me knowing.]

[Italian Towel – Ah… … .]

Swish, swish, I keep moving my fingers, and it’s always like this.

These are not photos containing private, secret information.

The photos show the members of Blue Porcelain filled with virtue.

No.

It’s kind of secretive.

I didn’t show it to other people either.

Close-up photos of the members that we couldn’t show you.

From the way they laugh and joke around.

Even the sight of him sweating profusely in the practice room.

There, a lightning bolt struck Gil Min-seok’s head.

“The Beatles just walked. After they became famous, Abbey Road became famous… … .”

Gil Min-seok started checking the photo again, muttering something incomprehensible.

Inside the recording booth.

Yoon Tae-joo, with a guitar in his hand, sweat dripping down his nose, a faint smile on his lips, and his hair disheveled and messy.

But that once well-dressed outfit now looks strangely decadent, with the crumpled white shirt and rolled-up sleeves.

An unfamiliar sight left by the extreme of imbalance.

What makes it more appealing is that it is not in the managed state that was shown on stage.

Who would think of a conglomerate chairman when looking at the man in this photo?

And here’s a picture of the move.

He was sitting on a chair and staring intently at one spot. It was an expression Gil Min-seok had never seen on Lee Dong-ha’s face before.

Not the playful and sometimes even chubby Lee Dong-ha. A side profile that makes him feel like the protagonist of a tragic story.

This is definitely a photo that could not have been captured without someone close to you.

There are endless pictures like that.

Gil Min-seok opened his mouth while looking through the manager team’s group chat, which was like a treasure trove.

“These photos. Can you send them to me right now? The original files without any deterioration.”

“yes yes.”

A man who receives a cell phone and enters Gil Min-seok’s cell phone number that Gil Min-seok calls out.

Manager Dong-chan… … No, now I remember clearly.

Dongchan.

You did something big today.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to me and I asked again.

“What is your last name?”

“yes?”

“You can’t save it as Dongchan, right?”

Dong-chan scratched his head and laughed awkwardly at Gil Min-seok’s words.

“It’s just a compliment.”

Looking at that, I get the feeling that this guy is a bit lacking…

I definitely feel that way.

The child is strangely bright.

It’s not that I don’t notice things, but I do notice things, but I can’t seem to get the feel of it.

If it were the original Gil Min-seok, there would be no reason to talk to such a low-level employee, and he wouldn’t have done so, but thanks to him today, I gained something big.

I decided to open my mouth one more time.

“Yes, Mr. Dong-chan. But when someone higher up asks, you should say your last name and then your first name. Lee Dong-chan, Kim Dong-chan, Park Dong-chan. Something like that. It would be rude to say your last name without it, as everyone else does. Do you understand?”

“Yes. But I told you from the beginning using your last name.”

Gil Min-seok, who was walking back to the center of the conference room, looked back with a refreshed face.

That man smiling awkwardly.

today.

Because of this manager named Dong-chan, I’ve become a fool many times.

“Is your last name Dong…?”

“Yes. I am Mr. Dong of Gwangcheon.”

“aha.”

“It’s not that common. Hehe. That’s why there are so many cases like this. Why did you give me a name with only one character?”

This time, Gil Min-seok touched his nose awkwardly.

“Mr. Dong-ssi of Gwangcheon… … I won’t forget. Thanks to you, the cover concept was decided.”

* * *

I shrugged my shoulders at Suchan’s words.

“Our photo as the cover? Well, it’s fine as long as you check it first.”

“… … That… … No. Let’s talk later… … .”

“What? Tell me now. It sounds like you’re saying you’ll get it later.”

This guy is secretly weird.

I asked again, but there was no answer.

I didn’t really intend to ask again, so I left it alone. I was curious, but not crazy curious.

I thought it was something I would find out if I did an inspection.

In the meantime.

The recording proceeded smoothly as planned.

I’m the producer.

My brothers are in the process of slimming down their oily bodies.

This is how you build up your stamina in the recording studio so that you can endure future performances, concerts, and world tours.

It’s all because I have my own thoughts.

The English version lyrics have also been completed… … .

The brothers’ parts have all been recorded.

The time has come to record my part, which I had been putting off because I was busy writing lyrics for producing.

Then, naturally, one person has to stand out.

“Dongha-ya!”

Slave number one, who spreads his arms and tries to hug me.

I, the master, am resisting it fiercely.

But… … Honestly, what strength do I have… … .

I rebelled several times, but he held me in his arms and gave me his heart.

I’m taller than Inchang hyung, so I’m the one who hugged him. The picture is a bit weird.

“In times like this, am I the only one left?”

“There are a lot. There are a lot, but I was lazy so I just called.”

“Oh my. You speak so beautifully. You’re still the same.”

“Brother, have you lost some weight?”

At those words, Jo In-chang lets me go and smiles bitterly.

“Did I fall for it a lot?”

“Pretty well? Are you managing it?”

“Management… … ? Haha… … Management… … Management… … .”

How many times have you been mumbling the word ‘management’ like that? You seem a little crazy.

So I just asked.

“Are you crazy? Aren’t things going well these days?”

“It’s going well… … I’m going out… … I’m going out… … from the… … house… … I want to go out… … from the… … house… … .”

I was smiling brightly just a moment ago, but now my body is shrinking on its own.

Have you ever felt like you’ve met someone outside of your comfort zone?

But this guy didn’t do that. That’s why I’m so scared.

“Why are you being so scary?”

“During childcare.”

“what?”

“I’m not managing her, I’m raising her. I can’t sleep at night… … ? But she’s still pretty. She’s so pretty. But… … I’m scared of my wife.”

“What are you talking about? Why is your sister-in-law here?”

“Don’t get married. Women change once after they get married. They change again after they have children. Something external? I’m not talking about that. It’s scary. You keep getting angry and scolding… … throwing tantrums… … These days… … I wet my pillow every night, and I don’t have a single day when my tears dry.”

I didn’t answer.

Should I just say… …I feel like I don’t want to talk to you at all?

So I changed the subject.

“Please record this. I’ll buy you a drink after you’re done.”

“You don’t want to listen to me either?”

“Oh, why is it so disgusting?”

“Whew… … These days, when I see my child, I feel happy. When I see my wife, I feel scared. That’s right.”

“Stop it. Sit down quickly. I’m going to start recording.”

“I get it…….”

I can’t even laugh when I see Jo In-chang sitting in front of a machine with his head completely dead.

Still, please give me a moment before I go inside the booth.

“Isn’t it pretty?”

“Oh… … I guess she looks like my sister-in-law? She’s so cute.”

“Hehehe. Right? They say that firstborn daughters resemble their fathers, but I’m so glad I don’t.”

“Be nice to me, Sister-in-law. If you do something wrong then, you’ll be punished for life. I still go out to buy watermelon once in the winter. It’s fortunate that the times have improved these days and watermelon is available in the winter.”

I was surrounded by my brothers and my mouth was wide open.

For someone who tells people not to get married, he looks incredibly happy.

Is the kid that cute?

I was just about to go into the booth when I stuck my head between the guys.

“You’re cute, really.”

“Right? Isn’t she pretty? She’ll become a beauty, right?”

Inchang smiles broadly at my words.

You told me not to get married, what is this?

You act like a marriage ambassador.

As if he had read my thoughts, Inchang added.

“Don’t drink with women. No, don’t eat with women in the first place. Do you understand? I’m telling you this because you’re my older brother.”

“Oh, no. I’m going to date someday too.”

Marriage… …I honestly don’t know.

There is a vague fear.

This is probably the fundamental fear felt by those who grew up in what are commonly called broken homes…

That doesn’t mean I don’t plan on dating.

I kissed a girl too, huh?

I want to hold hands, lean on each other’s shoulders, and do all kinds of things like that.
