When I Opened My Eyes I Was A Superstar

Chapter 24

24: Rising Sun (4)

The other members, who had been waiting for Do Wook at the dormitory, were in a hurry to ask him what had happened as soon as he got back. They could have asked Oh Baek Ho about it, but hadn't been able to work up the courage to ask him because they were afraid.

When they heard he would be working on composing a song with PD Yong Soo Chul, the members' jaws dropped in surprise.

There was nothing to envy. The members simply shook their heads at what a different level Do Wook was at.

Afterwards, the KK members and the staff in charge of them were all busy day in and day out as they continued doing music broadcast appearances.

If you put together the 3 public broadcast networks, including the cable network's music broadcast, there were music broadcasts every day except Monday.

Their schedule continued to be: wake up at dawn every day to get their hair done at the shop, rehearse all morning and afternoon while they were on standby, and then do the broadcast in the evening. Meanwhile, the ranking for 'Sorry but I Love You' was rising one step every day.

'Sorry but I Love You' was frequently playing on the streets, but for the members who traveled strictly to only the office, dormitory, and broadcast studio everyday, it was hard to feel the extent of the reactions. The only thing the members themselves could verify was the music chart ranking.

Sunday came around again.

It was the day of their second performance on 'Life Song' after finishing their debut performances at all the broadcast studios. KK shared the waiting room with other singers this time as well while they waited for their turn to perform.

Still, since it was their second time there, none of the members were as nervous as they were the first time. Kim Won was even dozing off on a chair in the corner.

"What place are we now?"

After he saw the clock hanging on the wall, Ahn Hyung Seo grabbed Cody and asked. Cody shouted to Ahn Hyung Seo, annoyed by him asking every hour.

"4th place, 4th place! I said 4th place!"

"Aren't you happy about it nuna*? Why are you getting angry?"
(TL note: nuna is what younger males call older females. Cody is a female)

When Ahn Hyung Seo started grumbling, Park Tae Hyung, who was sitting quietly next to them and listening to the conversation, smiled lightly.

"Ahn Hyung Seo. Kang Do Wook!!!"

Oh Baek Ho, who had gone to meet with the PD in charge of Life Song, came in and called Ahn Hyung Seo and Do Wook. Ahn Hyung Seo jumped out of his seat when Oh Baek Ho called them with the overflowing-with-ki, shout-of-concentration type of voice that he often used when he's angry or had an important message to deliver.

"Yes! Yes?"

Do Wook, who was sitting on one side of the room thinking about the project he's working on with Yong Soo Chul, also looked at Oh Baek Ho.

"You two need to get ready!"

And behind Oh Baek Ho, Sul Lae Im, who was known as the nation's sweetheart and one of the MCs for Life Song, poked her head in and came inside. The members' eyes opened wide at the sudden visit from a star whose popularity was incomparable to the current KK.

SVS Broadcast Station Life Song Meeting Room.

Once it was confirmed that the male MC who normally worked with Sul Lae Im would be absent for next week's recording due to a sudden overseas assignment, the Life Song production team held an urgent conference.
