The Trashy PD Has To Survive as an Idol

Chapter 155

Woahhh!

When the worn-out modern office worker found out she had successfully drawn a spot in the first round of the competition, she was so happy that she kicked her feet into the air.

Yeonhu, your noona is going!!

As a fan of High Five, she headed to the filming location on the day of the shoot, her heart fluttering.

Hey, has the traitor arrived?

Hahaha, sorry!

Laughing heartily at the entrance to the competition venue, her friend, who had been a fan of High Five for only a brief momentas if dipping a toe in the water and calling it brothgreeted her.

Having been tormented by reality for a while and distancing herself from fangirling, thinking she had escaped K-pop, she was suddenly smitten by The Dawns maknae and found herself running around the scene again.

At least we got to come together again~. Keep me with you forever.

So sick of this Ok.

They coolly came to an agreement and entered the competition venue.

Even before it started, the heat was palpable against their skin.

She tried to calm her fiercely pounding heart as she looked around, and then MC Ha Seoyeon appeared.

Hello, Im Ha Seoyeon~.

Wow, look at Ha Seoyeons actor vibe.

Acting is top-notch!!

As they couldnt take their eyes off Ha Seoyeon and whispered among themselves, the introduction quickly passed, and Bercy took the stage first.

Oh!!

Not bad~.

Looking at the list, it was expected that the stage quality would be good due to the performers rich experience, and indeed, the composition was not only solid but also spectacular.

Definitely better than last season.

They packed it with first-tier songs.

Next, a song by Black Call, which they had tasted long ago, flowed out.

The stage wasnt bad.

However, it didnt quite appeal to the office worker or her friend.

Thats something Black Call should do

Black Call, with Chae Jeongwoo known as the god of K-pop, had a track record so impeccable that since their debut, mishaps could be counted on one hand.

Their stage presence was undeniable, evidenced by the sheer impact of Joo Woosung simply walking out onto the stage.

Its just an inferior version no matter what.

It seemed like they thought performing well-known songs would be a good idea, but it was a big mistake.

It was easy to get swallowed up by the original.

Ugh, its hot, so hot.

Guys~, its almost summer~.

With a series of similarly intense songs continuing, the fiery stage effects hardly gave them a moments rest.

Because of this, they felt like even their hair was burning every time the flames burst forth, prompting irritated comments.

Meanwhile, her friend, the Nouel, lost interest to the extent that she sneakily took out a phone she had brought in to browse through online communities.

When is Dajun coming out?

While Bercy, Try, and TEW performed one after another, the office workers attention was wholly fixed on High Five.

Then, The Dawn took the stage as the fourth performance.

Hello!

??

As soon as they saw them, everyone at the venue was so surprised they couldnt close their mouths.

Then, screams filled the competition venue.

Woahhh!

Dressed in tight black leather pants and fluttery silk black shirts, each member had thin, sparkling body chains wrapped around their waists or slightly visible under their clothes, creating a variety of dazzling effects.

No way, are they insane??

Moreover, Seo Hoyun had even tied a long velvet string around his neck like a choker in the shape of a ribbon.

Im just gonna faint

Moreover, Seong Jiwon wore a crown of delicate white flowers giving off a pure vibe, while Kang Ichae had a wet-look hairstyle with a few strands braided with beads.

But the ultimate reason for the screams was.

Shit!!

Dancers Kim Seonghyeon and Jeong Dajun appeared wearing super, super, super cute cat-shaped headbands made of black-painted metal!!

This is it for today! Hey! Everyone, disband!

Wow, shit. This is crazy

Leather pants, body chains, and headbands.

Faced with The Dawns declaration of victory, the office worker felt a competitive fire ignite within her.

Next to her, the Noeul, was going crazy, waving the light stick and screaming, having thrown all dignity to the wind.

As Seong Jiwon bowed at 90 degrees and Seo Hoyun slightly adjusted Jiwons slightly disheveled flower crown, cheers erupted once again.

Hello, we are The Dawn, the rising dawn!

Wow, the cheer is no joke, right?! What stage have The Dawn prepared for today?

Not the leader, but the maknae, Jeong Dajun, was the first to grab the mic with a bright smile.

Today, weve prepared Easy Tempo by our sunbae, Lea Purple!

Are you all ready to follow along with the tempo~?

Seong Jiwon chimed in.

Just the slight curl of his lips brightened the surroundings, and the soft-looking Jeong Dajun exchanged glances and smiles with him, creating an incredibly cute moment, even from the perspective of a fan of another group.

Lets go!!! Even to hell!!!!

Calm down

Her friends excitement was unmatched.

But

Giving up on trying to calm her friend down, the High Five fan, the office worker, thought about the song The Dawn had chosen.

Lea Purples Easy Tempo?

A boy group covering a girl groups song did have its demand.

But it was usually something done at an end-of-the-year stage or fan meetings.

Even this song wasnt that famous.

She only vaguely remembered that the outfits were quite revolutionary.

Did they arrange it? Or is there some other trick up their sleeve?

She didnt realize it as she racked her brain, but the fact that she was already a fan of another group yet was this invested and defensive was proof that The Dawn were shaking up the scene.

Easy Tempo One and Two

Easy Tempo One and Two

The lights dimmed, and an unfamiliar melody began to play.

Soon, the stage lit up again, and Jeong Dajun, sitting in a chair, leaned his head on Kim Seonghyeons shoulder as he started the introduction.

Sitting next to you, I casually say, I feel a bit dizzy today.

You seem to know already, slightly smiling.

Please, Dajun

Her friend, whose favorite was Jeong Dajun, wobbled as if feeling dizzy from the first verse.

Seong Jiwon, who was sitting at the end of the table next to them, leaned slightly towards Dajun and chuckled.

I get this Feeling, you see me as someone light-hearted,

But youre already attracted to me.

Wow, such confident vocals

But Easy Tempo One and Two, dont rush without certainty.

Seong Jiwon grabbed Seo Hoyuns right arm, spun him around, and they danced a paired-choreography together.

Its okay to mistake me for an easy guy,

Theres plenty of time, take your time to cherish me.

Easy Tempo One and Two, dont hurry.

Easy Tempo One and Two, dont act hastily.

Are you crazy? Crazy? Hey!! Are you crazy??

Wow.

Shaken and screamed at by her friend, the office worker re-evaluated.

I thought the original lyrics were so-so.

It was precarious.

The slightly breathier voice, the sly squinting of the eyes, and the subtle smile seemed like an unparalleled masterpiece of teasing.

Its providing a pretty good mood shift even for the tired audience after a series of intense songs.

As she critically assessed The Dawns performance with the discerning eye of a K-pop veteran

Dont subtly push and pull, Im different from the others youve met before.

Kim Seonghyeon stepped forward, slipping his leather jacket halfway off.

The body chain that draped from his neck to his chest shimmered, and his muscular arms flexed in a wave.

Yeah, youre fucking different!!!!

It was a thoroughly calculated move, but since many people liked it, it was classic.

I know its frustrating, but I said!

Easy Tempo One and Two.

His expression was lethal, his ears so red they looked like they would bleed if touched.

Kraaaaaah!!

The screams and frenzied shouts from the audience made High Fives fans feel a sense of crisis.

These guys really want to succeed, damn it!

For a moment, she wondered if Kim Seonghyeons dance was a meticulously prepared part to make up for losing to some abs during the unit stage.

Then, Kang Ichae took the center, slightly crinkling his nose cutely before starting her rap.

Ah, dont look away, it makes me jealous.

The rap fit the situation perfectly, chewy and exquisite.

Dont you know that I push everyone aside and run straight to you?

Baby, you are my one and only thrill.

Next, Jeong Dajun walked in from the side, tapping his cat ear headband.

The moment I saw you, I felt that you would change my everything.

Then, under the blue lights tinged with pink, all members stopped, and only Seo Hoyun lifted his head.

Pretend Im an easy guy, theres plenty of time.

And with a wave, grabbed the ribbon around his neck

Love me slowly.

And pulled it loose.

Uaaaaaaah!!!! Ah! Ah!!

Damn!! Is this why hes the only one with a ribbon?!

The fans might not know, but all of this was thanks to Joo Woosungs meticulous nagging.

Grinding his teeth tightly, Seo Hoyun had awakened to the ability to break down his movements into 0.1-second intervals, setting his x-y-z coordinates and endlessly calculating where to place his body, allowing him to perfectly execute todays performance.

Arghhh!!

Licking his red lower lip, Hoyuns eyes sparkled.

Easy Tempo One and Two, dont hurry.

Easy Tempo One and Two, dont come on too strong, okay?

As Seo Hoyun spun his body and once again matched the paired choreography with Seong Jiwon, the triangular light sticks in the audience shook even more violently.

How could the Noeuls not get excited when someone like Seo Hoyun, who seemed to master everything, was asking to be loved as an easy man?

Rabbit!!! I wanna go fast!!!!

These guys are really, really, really possessed by evil

They were the kind who knew what worked in the market.

The office worker who was a fan of High Five let out a sigh that sounded almost like a gasp, dizzy with anticipation for the upcoming My Baby performance.

At that moment, Seong Jiwons high note exploded.

No, Please I cant stop!

!!

I thought he was following Chae Jeongwoo, but this is just on Jeongwoos level?

Chills ran all over her body.

Everyones mouth was agape, looking up when Kang Ichae cut through the song.

No Easy Tempo, the rhythm keeps getting tangled.

It was a rap freshly added for this stage.

Throwing away all pretenses, I want to go beyond with you,

My heart is burning black.

Desire and affection were mixed in Kang Ichaes eyes, which seemed to pierce through the screen, and the rap continued in a tone one notch lower as if chewing the words.

Take My Tempo One and Two,

I want to consume all of you.

Most of the Noeuls were almost fainting.

This stage solidified the reason he took first place with an overwhelming number of votes as a solo rap unit.

Ddu du ru ru Ddu du ru ru ru.

Damn

The stage was completed after calculating everything from the outfit coordination, the balance of members abilities, to how to act according to the lyrics.

Easy Tempo One and Two, dont hurry,

Easy Tempo One and Two, take your time to cherish.

It was a stage that couldnt possibly fail.

The Dawns breath was rough after finishing flawlessly.

Pollen fluttered down over the members heads, visible through the screen.

Easy Tempo

Wow.

For a moment, Hoyuns face, slightly reddened on the cheeks, was captured on the screen, and the office worker mumbled unknowingly,

Wow. Hes really handsome.

Even a die-hard fan of another group would say this much, so one could imagine how her Noeul friend beside her would see him without having to say it.

Hey, hey, is this a dream? If I faint, please put me in a taxi.

Watch High Five.

She firmly held her staggering friends hand and spoke sharply.

Even fans of other groups seemed slightly enchanted as she looked around.

This cant be real Its like a dream.

She saw her friend clasping her hands tightly in deep emotion, a calm face but tearful eyes, while inside, she felt a sense of defeat.

Theyre hell-bent on succeeding. This is dangerous.

Indeed, private SNS accounts, hard to prevent leaks from, were already buzzing with crazy reactions from the scene.

[I just want to be buried here with Seo Hoyuns ribbon]

[Seriously, if they werent idols, these bastards wouldnt know shit about this stuff, its so fucking good]

[Thank you!!! Really, thank you!!!! Who planned this??? Come out, Ill bow to you!!!!]

It was Lee Jihyeon.

[The lyrics Kang Ichae added to his rap are insane He really knows what his fans eat up]

The Dawn, theyre really smart.

The office worker looked at the voting device in her hand.

Wow, I really cant guess how the live vote will turn out.

It was definitely a competition, with groups that had built up years of experience participating and various fandoms gathering desperately.

The previous groups, being conscious of that, seemed to have prepared powerful male idol songs for the stage.

That The Dawn was the only one to take a different route

The one firm thought in her tangled mind was just that.

This is, damn, big trouble

It was very, very dangerous.
