Chapter 212 My Stage

“Hyung, I’m sorry. I got too excited earlier….”

As soon as Hajin stepped off the stage, he hurriedly apologized to Siwoo.

It was a melody he occasionally changed and sang unconsciously when he got excited, and in his heightened state, he ended up overdoing it on stage. Luckily, Siwoo played along, otherwise, it could have been a situation that led to unnecessary remarks.

That’s why he grabbed Siwoo and apologized even before changing out of his clothes. However, Siwoo, who was the one supposed to accept the apology, simply wore a refreshed expression and drew a question mark on his face.

“What for?”

“Huh? Oh, about changing the melody at the end earlier….”

“Oh, that?”

Taking out his in-ear monitors and loosening the corset that was pressing tightly on him, Jung Siwoo laughed lightly as if it was nothing.

“It’s fine. I had fun too.”

Then, as if to say ‘good job,’ he lightly tapped Hajin on the chest with his fist before walking off.

Hajin, who momentarily forgot he needed to change clothes quickly, held his heart with one hand where Siwoo had tapped him and covered his mouth with the other.

“Shin…?”

[System Notification: If this isn’t Moe, it’s a disease…]

[System Notification: The system shakes its head, saying there’s no cure for this.]

You don’t even have a tongue!

When Hajin snapped back at Thirteen, who was teasing him, Thirteen cried out, claiming it was an insult to a Time Manager.

Ignoring him, Hajin stuck out his tongue briefly before turning off the system notifications and spinning around.

Suddenly, someone grabbed his shoulder.

“…Huh?”

“Kang Hajin, are you crazy!? Why aren’t you coming already!!?”

“Oh my, our little frog is pissed.”

It was Seo Taehyun, who had already changed into his lower garments and even put on his monocle, despite how little time had passed since the performance ended. The moist demeanor from earlier had quickly been discarded, and Taehyun, now rearmed with the mindset of a “professional idol obsessed with success,” grabbed Hajin’s arm and began to drag him away.

As Hajin was being dragged along helplessly, he turned his head to look at the stage through the backstage stairs.

During the VCR segment, various staff members were going up and down the stage, setting up for the next performance, and the LED screens that had been created for Kairos’s stage were being switched out for another team.

“What are you doing? What are you looking at?”

“…Nothing, let’s go.”

The “My Stage” that they had worked so hard to prepare had disappeared in less than a minute.

Having experienced many stages through various routes in his previous life, Hajin didn’t feel particularly disappointed or upset.

He only had a small wish that it could have been a bit longer.

[System Notification: …Did you enjoy it that much?]

Thirteen, who had somehow turned off the notification block and crept back up, asked coyly. Hajin answered while quickly overtaking Taehyun, who was leading the way to the waiting room.
