RAP STAR

Chapter 107 [verse 16. Ripple Effect]

"Hey, what are you looking at?"

"Who saw it first? Did you see it first or did I?"

"This, this is something Manager Heo Taekjin PD gave to me..."

"Wh-what did you say?"

"Right now, your expression..."

"No, Manager Heo personally gave me this album, it's ridiculous that..."

"What, what are you saying?"

"If the manager gives it to me, I'll take it!"

"Since when did you start listening to the manager so well?"

As Lee Sanghyun muttered, Dread's expression changed noticeably.

"Hey! And aren't you born in '88? You're five years younger than me and you're speaking informally?"

"Do you use honorifics with our crew seniors? They're all born in '82, aren't they? And how do you know my age?"

"Why did your brother post about you on Hip-Hop E.L.I. for everyone to see?"

"The true identity of the 888 Crew...?"

"Yeah! That... that..."

"..."

"..."

A strange silence fell in the hallway.

Sanghyun furrowed his brow at Dread and asked, "Are you some kind of fan club from the underworld? The Dark Pentagram? Can I get your autograph?"

"Do you really want to die? Are you crazy? And is this an autograph book? Even if I don't sign..."

"..."

"..."

Silence fell once again.

Realizing that speaking further would be detrimental, Dread grunted and disappeared down the hallway.

Sanghyun still stared at Dread with a strange look.

"What's wrong with that guy? Is he a pervert?"

Fifty autograph books were distributed, and among them, 47 people posted verification shots to get the T-shirt. Could one of the remaining three be...?

Sanghyun shivered for a moment before shaking off the thought and reaching for his coffee.

“Ah, damn it! Why did I get flustered?”

Meanwhile, Dread stormed towards Heo Taekjin PD's office. However, he couldn't hand the album to PD Heo Taekjin.

"What are you talking about? I never said anything like that to Manager Code Name..."

"You? Manager hyung clearly..."

"Perhaps there was a misunderstanding? Or maybe you mistook me for another assistant director or PD."

"Oh, that might be it."

Dread nodded, greeted Heo Taekjin with a grunt, and left his office. Suddenly, an idea struck him.

"If it turns out like this, damn, I'll end up having bought and kept the 888 Crew album, right?"

Dread, who had been agitated for a while, briefly glanced at the official bootleg and tucked it into his coat pocket. It seemed like a personal album bought by the manager, but things got complicated when he sensed someone watching. He was quick to catch onto such situations.

"Now that it's come to this, if I keep this album, the manager will be sweating, thinking it's the autograph version he liked."

Dread suddenly felt good at the thought of showing the album to the manager and pretending to offer it as a gift. It would be interesting to see the manager's expression when he hesitated to accept it. This album must stay with me.
