Hongdae’s busking street.
And right in front of it, a large café.
In a secluded corner of that café sat three trainees, whispering in low voices.
“There are so many people….”
“It’s been a while since I’ve been in such a big café, too. Same for you, right, Won Hyeop hyung?”
“Yeah… I’ve been a trainee for way too long.”
Disguised in hats and masks, they might have looked suspicious, but in a place like Hongdae, filled with uniquely dressed people, they didn’t attract as much attention as they might have elsewhere.
“Huh? Are trainees not allowed to walk around? I didn’t know that.”
“It’s not that. My old company just used to be super strict about that kind of thing….”
“I had a similar experience. They told us not to walk around alone after 10 PM, and we weren’t allowed to snack either.”
“We had customized meal plans. Before I came on Targeting Star, I was eating nothing but greens every day, seriously.”
“Holy, I never even imagined that.”
“Anyway… this delay is getting ridiculous.”
The reason why the trainees, who came to Hongdae for a busking shoot, were now stuck sitting around in this café was due to the flustered production team, whose expressions had collapsed into disarray.
“Trainees, please wait here for a moment! Yes, just shoot some casual footage with your personal cams! We just need to check the location quickly, haha! Just a moment! Oh! Please! It’ll just be a minute!”
“Sorry, what was that?”
“It’ll only take a moment! Really! By the way, the blueberry smoothies here are great!”
Something clearly wasn’t going according to their plan, as the production team, running around like headless chickens, hurriedly shoved the trainees into the café and commanded them to wait indefinitely.
“…How long have we been sitting here?”
In response to Chunyong’s question, Seong Won Hyeop sighed as he checked his wristwatch.
“Haa, I think it’s been over 30 minutes. We got out of the van at 11 AM, so….”
“Bloody….”
Even though the trainees had already spent a considerable amount of time filling their personal cam footage with pointless comments, the production crew still hadn’t come to pick them up.
“Are we seriously going to be stuck here the whole time? The longer this drags on, the shorter our performance time will be….”
“That’s what I’m saying. Exactly my point.”
Logan, sitting close to the window, craned his neck to peer outside, mumbling with a frustrated expression.
“Huh… it looks like other people got here first.”
Hearing that, Seong Won Hyeop and Chunyong also leaned closer to the window, peeking outside.
There was the production team, endlessly talking to four men who didn’t seem willing to budge.
“Hmm….”
Watching the scene unfold carefully, Chunyong let out a small groan as his phone beeped with a notification.
