Merge Dan Haru’s persona.

Though it was something I had to do eventually, it wasn’t as easy as it sounded.

‘I’m not a psychiatrist. How am I supposed to bring out a hidden persona?’

Once again, those headquarters bastards were just leaving everything to me and randomly assigning quests.

‘This is exactly the kind of situation where Thirteen would be useful—for causing a ruckus and negotiating…’

You never know what you have until it’s gone. Lately, I’ve felt Thirteen’s absence more keenly than ever.

I had left a message for ‘Existence’ through the newly created QnA system, asking when Thirteen would be returned, but there was no response yet. Actually, considering that I had made the function on a whim, I wasn’t even sure if the message had been properly delivered.

Regardless, while it wasn’t an easy mission, my conclusion was that the comeback had to come first.

Since it wasn’t a quest with a penalty or a time limit, I decided it would be better to focus on my main job while keeping an eye on Dan Haru and Dolja’s situation until I came up with a suitable method.

‘There are a lot of unexpected events on this side too.’

This comeback was solely aimed at winning the Rookie of the Year award and providing fan service, so it was a lot less stressful than preparing for the debut album.

There was some friction with the A&R team regarding the direction of the song, but in the end, the track that Doha and I had prepared was chosen.

Even though we had ‘prepared’ it together, Doha had done most of the work, while I had only provided a few ideas and written a couple of lines of lyrics…

“I hope it turns out to be a hit since I participated. I want to earn some copyright royalties.”

“What hit~?”

“Aaaah!”

As I was making myself a sweet hot chocolate in the artist lounge, someone approached me with an unnervingly smooth voice. Startled by the sudden presence, I grabbed my ears and took five quick steps backward, only to see that someone tall was standing where I had been.

Upon closer inspection, it was Enderway’s Choi Yeonwoo, wearing a beige handmade long coat.

“…Senior…?”

“I heard from Siwoo that you’re really jumpy. If you were in a haunted house, you’d probably faint before the fans did.”

“What a terrifying thing to say when we’re meeting for the first time…”

“Hmm? This isn’t our first time. I saw you before at your guerrilla concert. I also judged one of your mission performances before that.”

Isn’t that what most people would consider a first meeting…?

Still feeling creeped out, I shivered slightly and took a step toward Choi Yeonwoo.

Come to think of it, wasn’t this the first time I was meeting him alone like this?

Enderway had just started their overseas tour when we debuted after the Maze, so we hadn’t had many chances to cross paths either in the company or outside.

‘But why did this person suddenly start talking to me?’

He was my senior in the same company, so even if there wasn’t a special reason, I wouldn’t really have a problem with it…
