In this Life, I'll be the Biggest Star in the Universe: Chapter 016

I can hear the noises from outside the dormitory.

"I'm guessing the manager is here.  Let's go down."

It was Yoon Seokhwan who comes to pick us up at the exact same time everyday.  I was afraid I'll get nagged at for no reason, so I hurriedly dressed up and went over to the shoes that were in a state of mess.

Anyhow, I'm sure that Bijoo organized everything the day before yesterday, but when did it become a mess again?

"Jiho, aren't those mine?"

"Hyung!  These are mine."

Rihyuk opened the shoe closet and looked pitifully at the two criminals who took up 90% of the room in the hallway as if they were filming a comedy show.  Bijoo was checking the gas and electric cords in the mean time.

After all of that, we went down to the Starex on the first floor and that was the end of our morning routine.

"Hello!"

"Good morning, manager."

Recently, as the company's employees were quitting one after another, Yoon Seokhwan was in charge of picking us up from the dorm to the practice room.

Of course, today was a little different.  Manager Yoon was dressed in a dandy outfit.  We were also dressed in regular clothing, not our usual sweats.

"Is everyone ready?", Yoon Seokhwan raised his eyes which could be seen through the rearview mirror.

Today was the day.  The day where we go over to WHITE ENTERTAINMENT for the collaboration piece.

Collaboration. 

It was an industry term for collaborating with other artist.  To be more specific, where artist with different genre or musical color sing together.

There was a difference between being feature, which is often shown in the forms of, 'feat. Hong Gildong' in a song.  With features, the feature artist would only be involved in a little bit of the song.  Collaborations were where both artist had an equal amount of lines in the song.

Actually, it didn't matter.  It was just a convenient way of classification and made people in this field of work confuse.

"I had a really hard time with the featuring terminologies."

Manager Yoon Seokhwan brought up some behind-the-scene stories about the negotiation with WHITE ENTERTAINMENT.

"I was negotiating with them and I thought I was going to have hair loss." (Hair loss due to stress)

"Who?  Like the CEO?" (Remember the CEO is bald-)

Everyone burst out into a fit of laughter due to the youngest who had suddenly interrupted the conversation pretending as if he was interested.

CEO, we apologize.

Yoon Seokhwan laughs as he took out the black box memory from the car.

"I always erase the black box's recordings everyday because of you guys.  What are you going to do if someone hears you, goodness."

"I can turn it off."

"Forget it, I use it sometimes anyway."

Yoon Seokhwan continues where he left off as he inserts the memory into his phone, "The companies were arguing over the title track.  At WHITE ENTERTAINMENT, they were asking what kind of artist you guys were who hadn't debuted yet.  They wanted to go with a 'featuring' for the title track, but our side naturally wanted to go with a collaboration."
