"In order to leave, I need to get things done quickly."

I caught Seon AhHyun, who was trying to stutter in response to the questions and requests from the people around his billboard.

-Give me your phone.

-U-uh?

-I will take a picture of you.

-...!

Seon AhHyun finally came to his senses and walked slowly towards his billboard while I turned on the camera on the phone he handed me.

Seeing this, people immediately reacted.

-Oh, the photos!

-Let's get out of the way~

-Let's take a picture of the children!

Surprisingly, the passionate crowd began to willingly distance themselves from us so that I could get a good photo.

...I've seen a lot of people risk their lives to get photos of their favorite idols, so I felt a bit worried about them.

-Straighten your shoulders.

-Y-yes!

-AhHyun-ah, you are so handsome!

It wasn't me who told him that, someone who seems to be his fan yelled it out.

AhHyun's face turned as red as a tomato.

-I-I n-no...

After muttering like that a few times, AhHyun managed to straighten up for me to take the picture of him. Anyway, I searched for the best composition for them and after taking a few, Keun SeJin exclaimed next to me.

-MoonDae! Take me one too!

I was going to return the phone to AhHyun, but I went to take a photo of SeJin with the same smartphone. It was cumbersome to take pictures because SeJin changed his pose several times, although there were people who did get to photograph and film everything he did with their phones.

-How nice...

-Make another pose~

"...So, is it necessary for me to take a picture of him to verify that he saw his billboard?"

I think he can access and download any photo that appears on the internet today.

-You too, MoonDae!

-Oh, right.

It's weird that he's not the only one taking photos, so I moved in front of my billboard. When I saw the fully exposed fence in front of me after the crowd had parted ways, I felt pressured by its size.

The photograph displayed on the billboard was one of the photos taken of me at the launch event. Fortunately, it wasn't the one where I touched my cheeks or the one where I made a heart with my fingers, but I felt a little embarrassed seeing my big face.

"...I'd better stop looking at it."

When I was about to turn around, I saw a phrase written in the background.

At the bottom, in lowercase, was written a sentence that read "I would like to ask you to buy a lot of shares ♡".

-...

I cannot deny that it is a phrase... very impressive.

"The person who did this must have suffered buying my shares."

I quietly took a photo. I had to show my sincerity to whoever did it.

And as soon as I took the photo and walked away from the billboard, people started gathering and talking again.

-Did you come to see the billboard?

-Oh what should I do...

-How was the shoot?

-I will vote for you!

Slowly the number of people increased enough to clog traffic. It was definitely worse than when I got off the bus and, even though I am now accompanied and we are three people, it is still a big disadvantage.

If we don't do this right, will we be accused of being a nuisance?

I just wanted to take a picture and go, but it seems that it will be difficult to achieve.

"I'll have to take advantage of the fact that there are three of us somehow."

I looked at the two of them and they seemed to understand my signal. So, we bowed and thanked the audience.

-Thank you very much!

-We will do the best we can!

And we immediately ran to the nearest exit. When we did, people naturally parted ways, opening a path for us.

-We're retiring~ Thank you!

Keun SeJin turned around, waved his hand goodbye and yelled. As he followed closely behind, I heard several voices replying.

-Hey? Guys!

-Goodbye!

-fighting!!

None of those voices felt rude, rather, they were brilliant.

It was the first time I ran while hearing so much cheering. I felt very... very strange.

We took a taxi that appeared right at the entrance of the station.

-Oh! That was great!

As soon as the taxi started, SeJin said so with a big smile. AhHyun also nodded enthusiastically, he seemed to be quite excited.

"Was it really that good?"

Of course, I felt a sense of indebtedness because I couldn't thank them in a better way. But the fact that many people recognized me did not put me in a bad mood.

Will I feel this way because of my personality? Or perhaps...

"...It could be because of my real age."

They are 21 years old.

When I was thinking to myself, SeJin suddenly said "Ah!" and he took the phone out of it. Suddenly mine vibrated.

[(Photo photo)]

He had sent me a couple of photos of me taken when I was in front of my billboard.

Maybe the exposure value was wrong, but the color was gone and my face, which looked white, was floating on the billboard.

-...

He is a terrible photographer.

-Hey, don't you think I took some good pictures? I took them like this to make them look more real.

They are such bad photos that the only thing I can appreciate is that they are proof that I was in front of the fence.

When I looked at him without saying a word, SeJin smiled and spoke to AhHyun, pretending not to know what I was really thinking.

-Haha... Ah, right, AhHyun! You have the photos MoonDae took of me on your phone, right?

-Yes! Gi-give me a minute.

AhHyun hurriedly turned on his phone and sent the photos in our group chat. He sent SeJin's photos, but also the ones of him that I took.

"Why did he also send his photos?"

Maybe he was confused and uploaded it all at once.

-Oh~ The photos MoonDae took...

Keun SeJin tried to joke around with the photos I had taken, but looking at his phone screen, he stopped talking as he was speechless.

And with a puzzled expression on his face, this time he genuinely began to exclaim.

-Uh, oh... You're really good at taking pictures.

I've been taking photos for a living for many years, so it's normal for me.

I also took a look at my phone screen. The horizontal composition was perfect, the proportions of the human body were not awkward, and there were four or five photos per person that captured their expressions and poses well.

It seemed that my photography skills hadn't rusted yet. While feeling proud of that, SeJin added.

-...Well, next time I'll take a good picture of you. I'm sorry.

He expressed himself sincerely.

But it was Keun SeJin, someone who has no idea how a camera works or directing photos, so I just shrugged.

-Well... it's fine. I will use one of the most realistic looking photos.

-...!

SeJin looked surprised for a moment, but he quickly smiled and changed the subject.

-Really? Oh, now that I think about it, can't we go to the restaurant that AhHyun recommended? It's a shame.

-I-it is okay. W-we can go the next t-time we meet...

-...hmm.

Right, speaking of which, it wouldn't be good to go to the restaurant that AhHyun had recommended. Since he had only selected popular places on social media, it was very likely that our lunch would be broadcast live on the social networks of the other diners.

Also, Seon AhHyun may not be good at searching, he only recommends what viral social media marketing suggests.

After thinking for a while, I searched for the location of a restaurant close to where we were.

-Mr. driver, can you take us to YeonhuiDong?

-Yes of course I can~

-Ok, so...

I looked back at the guys in the backseat.

-There's a quiet restaurant I know, would you like to go there?

-Oh~ Of course I do!

-I-it's alright!

Cool. I asked the driver for permission and changed the navigation system to direct us to the restaurant.

And it was only after we finished eating lunch that I realized that I had volunteered to do something we didn't need to do. Oh Lord.

I feel like I'm getting cold!

* * *

-Hmm.

The young woman, who was looking at her phone, felt a strong anxiety that seemed to be getting worse little by little.

An option appeared on the screen that plunged her into total anguish.

Beneath the ad she could see all kinds of services and shares sold by Tnet, a channel on which Icorpo is broadcast.

For example, if she buys the Tnet music site package, she will also receive a 50% discount for 3 months of Premium streaming and the right to buy 20 shares of any Icorpo participant.

In short, she could vote for MoonDae 20 more times.

This issuer sold all its packages with the benefit of shares, except for the monthly fixed rate invoice, since it can give one more vote per day.

What is scary is that these packages have a high discount rate, so the current service users buy the package to get a discount, but they can't cancel the package when they finish using the stock benefits, they will have to pay it until that a minimum time of months pass to be able to do it.

"It's tempting, but it's actually terrible..."

The woman sighed and kept looking at different pages when she saw the notification of a message that she had just received.

It was a message from her friend who had convinced her to be part of the audience at MoonDae's performance.

"Uhh."

She hastily clicked the link that led to a social media post.

----

Oh, I was out to eat with my family and I saw some participants from Icorpo. I think they are the ones who sang the Soft & Sweet song. (Photo)

----

In the attached photo, Park MoonDae, Seon AhHyun, and Keun SeJin are seen sitting at a table and receiving a clay pot of samgyetang.

Under the photo, there were quite a few comments.

Have you seen the boys' faces when watching the samgyetang? It looks like their eyes are going to pop out lol

It's good that they had samgyetang instead of some "chicken feet" of unknown origins

L Please stop discriminating against chickens ㅠ__ㅠ

I agree that all three are still friendly

I think they went to eat after seeing the billboards. ㅠㅠ I love those pretty boys so much ㅠㅠ

"Billboards?"

The young woman searched for "Park MoonDae billboard" just in case and immediately saw an article that had been uploaded a few hours earlier.

----

He took a proof photo that he went to see his billboard ㅠㅠ He couldn't stay long because there were too many people. He was so cute and kind that he stole my heart. He was wearing a mask, but he is very handsome. Really handsomeㅠㅠ (Short video)

----

When she played the attached video, she saw Park MoonDae, dressed in jeans, a black hooded jacket, and a typical black baseball cap, taking a photo in front of his billboard.

MoonDae responded a little embarrassed to people's wild and sincere comments.

The video ended when he started running with the other two participants, they looked happy until they disappeared.

H A N D S O M E

Eh? MoonDae was more social than I thought.

ㅠㅠ Moon Puppy isn't indifferent, the video proves it! ㅠㅠ What? A Tibetan fox? That is heresy!

I hope the editor who made him look bad just by looking at him dies. Please, my boy was just calm

The black cap goes very well with his blonde hair.

"Cute!... Too cute!!"

As she was waving her feet with great joy, she suddenly realized that she was familiar with Park MoonDae's billboard image. It was a photo that her friend showed him, assuring that she had taken it herself!

She quickly wrote her a message.

When she asked her, "Why didn't you tell me this first?" her friend replied, "My heart was trembling so much that I couldn't write."

The young woman smiled and sent him a congratulatory emoji. So, she thought to herself.

"I would like to do something for him."

Park MoonDae did well, so she wanted to see many great performances from him.

In the end, she went back to her package promotions page and bought the music package.

After happily buying MoonDae's shares, she went back to find more content from the restaurant Samgyetang ate at and saw a fight break out.

Please delete that photo. Harassment is a crime.

L No, I just saw him, I wasn't harassing him; I'm just a witness

L Did you witness someone eat? That lacks common sense. It doesn't make sense that you took a picture of him eating.

L Yes, I already deleted it ㄱ 人ㄱ

After those comments, the angry reactions disappeared when the photo was removed.

It had been hard to hear news of Park MoonDae, so she was excited by the rare sightings, but those comments made her realize that it might be an invasion of privacy.

She was also embarrassed by what she had thought. She forgot that MoonDae hadn't debuted yet.

"That's right... But MoonDae did really well...!"

As she remembered her experience as a spectator of the live show and got quite excited, she suddenly had something that she had forgotten come to her mind.

-Aaah! It's time for Icorpo's broadcast!

Yes, she had been looking at the buy stock page while she waited for the new episode to start. She quickly turned on the channel and, luckily, she was able to see the logo of the show just starting.

-Huh...

She was relieved that she had reminded in time that she should watch the show when suddenly, the serious face of the MC came on air.

-...?

As if he was sitting in front of a desk in a discussion room, the MC hit the desk seriously.

That was true. But there were still people crying and complaining that the number of contestants who would debut was too small, compared to the number of contestants that the viewers supported.

"What...?"

As soon as the broadcast started, the production team announced some big shit that left viewers confused.

-...?!?!

And at that moment, hell began.
