Act 7 | Year 2027: Picnic! Ready set go!

July 2027,

A few months had passed since my kidnapping incident. The amount of news coverage that it covered sheds a lot of light of how scary the entertainment industry was. There were many instances of stories when idols were about to get kidnapped.

The word emphasizes here was 'about to'. They did not get kidnapped. I was the first person. Yet, funny enough, I was not having any PTSD about it. Probably due to I was not fully conscious under the drug used on me.

Thus, now every entertainment industries with a few brains would not take chances of their idols in public. They will and strongly employ at least two bodyguards in close proximity if any of their artists wants to go out to the public.

Minjeong was scared shitless as the adrenaline goes by. She cried a river inside the hospital room when I woke up. I was the one on bed, yet I was the one that needs to comfort her. That big cry baby. Thank God I love her.

But anyway, let's change the topic here. It's July, meaning summer was scorching the land over in South Korea. It can get quite hot here, but it was also the month where everyone can get out and receive some sun to photosynthesize themselves.

For the first time in history, our label will host a picnic activity for the idols under it. Producer Na, the founder for Game Caterors will host us a bunch of summer activities. He hosted it at a camping site in Yeoju.

Me: Oya? We're the last one?

I smiled seeing the idols that was already here before us. I looked to the sight in front of me, there were multiple tents with our group names on a banner that was hanged on top of the tent. It reminded me of those school festivals that the students host every single year.

I counted, there were a lot of artists here ranging from: 

1) SEVENTEEN (13 Members)

2) Babylon Garden (5 Members)

3) Empress (7 Members)

4) ENHYPEN (7 Members)

5) Le sserafim (5 Members)

6) Red Velvet (5 Members)

7) Solo Idols (6 Members)

In total there were 54 participants in today's activity. We were seated at the third tent, in between Red Velvet and Le sserafim. The arrangements were : SEVENTEEN, Red Velvet, Babylon Garden, Le sserafim, ENHYPEN, Empress, Solo Idols.

It's comical that the solo idols were grouped into one group and named themselves as 'TEAM TT' The first activity was to introduce each group with a show performance.

Me: Nuh uh, I will not succumb to your crazy ideas guys.

AJ: Aw come on hyung!

Jaewoo: It'll be fun!

I can only gave a blank glare at these two knowing nothing will come good from these two. I turned to look at Tobio and Muchen for some sanity but found none.

Muchen: Come on hyung, in this group there's no 'I'. We're all 'E' today.

Tobio: Hyung is the type to be introvert but in actual an extrovert.

Okay, that's plain rude Tobio-kun! I am an introvert! I never would've thought that the most sane person would join this crazy idea. They probably got the idea the moment our sunbaenim showed their craziness in front of everyone.

SEVENTEEN sunbaenim was famous for being the insane group ever. None of them are actually sane. Like seriously, none. They're all batshit crazy. Red Velvet sunbaenim start with their debut song with 'Ice Cream Cake'.
