Top Idol, Anyway (PART 1)

Chapter 72

Yi Chan

1st place on the music show.

It was a feat accomplished in six and a half months after debuting in early May.

It was my first encore stage, so I was a little nervous, but it was a good experience. The members were also soaked in the stage with flushed faces.

That's when Music City ended and we came off the stage.

Kim Woo-young approached.

No, it would be more accurate to say that he passed by rather than approached. He passed me by bumping his shoulder roughly, but it was as soft as the words that came out of his mouth.

"Congratulations."

It was something I hadn't expected.

"thanks."

I smiled at his congratulations and headed to the waiting room with a cool face. That bastard named Jeong Yu-bin was watching us from the end of the hallway.

3 weeks have passed since the comeback. In the meantime, I met Mute Seven about 10 times on music broadcast stages. Kim Woo-young, whom I hadn't seen in a while, had a very different atmosphere from the past.

He was no longer provoking and arguing by making unreasonable demands. Rather, he completely ignored me.

He didn't even try to make eye contact. And when we passed each other in a narrow hallway, just like a moment ago, he bumped his shoulders roughly.

But there was no malice. His heart cries sadly, saying that he was forced to act wildly because of the watchful eyes.

It looked like he was pointing at the watching eye, probably Jeong Yu-bin.

It's not accurate, but it seemed that Jung Yoo-bin was also the one who scarred Kim Woo-young's face.

Even so, he is the leader of the team, and he is the cousin of director Kim Chan-young, so I wondered if he could treat Kim Woo-young like that, but it wasn't impossible.

Jeong Yu-bin gave off a strangely dark smell.

At the end of the hallway, as Jeong Yu-bin got closer, Jae-won suddenly opened his mouth.

"Chan-i hyung, what did woo-young say earlier? Did he openly curse at you again?"

Jae-Won seems to know that Woo-Young Kim is afraid of Yoo-Bin Jeong's gaze. He hears the words Kim Woo-young and I are exchanging right next to us and then asks an absurd question.

"Yeah, he cursed. Unlucky."

"Huh, he's really consistent."

"Yeah."

"Next time, hyung will curse first."

"Is that so?"

Jeong Yu-bin, who overheard our conversation, moved his steps only then.

Looking at Yubin's back as he walked away, Jaewon let out a long sigh and wiped his chest.

"That hyung, really have no luck."

Jaewon narrowed his forehead and entered the waiting room. Seeing how fast the young guy was, it seemed that he had already read the current situation.

"thanks."

"No. That hyung, he was deliberately standing there watching us, right? shady."

Jae-won shuddered, saying, "It's terrible."

"I was afraid for Wooyoung hyung and Chanie hyung, if he found out that you two are close, that hyung would make a fuss again."

"We're not friendly..."
