The reason why the baseball team concept suddenly popped up was because of the head of the headquarters.

It is said that the existing concept brought by working-level officials was rejected last night.

"The director has set his sights on an animated world view. They say school background comics are sports, well, it's been decided to be a baseball team."

For your information, the original concept was retro.

"Isn't it too much to have a school-related worldview?"

But you were at least suited to disco music.

The disco and baseball team... It was neither porridge nor rice.

The employees were also talking about the song.

They were also talking about the head of the headquarters because they felt unfair, but it was clear that they were regretting that they did it for nothing.

"We worked on it in a short time, but we thought the song came out well, too.”

"Well, yes."

Come to think of it, I heard this song somewhere. This is because the debut song of those who passed "Aju Temple" was originally this. The arrangement is a bit different. There are no lyrics yet.

"I hope that you can make a concept that's not too different from a young student like this kind of concept.”

"Yes, I'll do my best."

"If it doesn't go well, you can just pick a song and give it to me!"

"Oh, yes."

"Don't worry. Just tell me quickly∼”

'I don't have much expectation.’

I just felt the urgency of the office worker to meet the deadline quickly.

"We really don't have much time."

Perhaps, if it became more urgent, "TeSTAR's participation" was used only for marketing purposes, and the company felt like it would take care of everything.

I wonder what it would be like to prepare the album in such a hurry. Well, it wasn't a very promising prospect.

"Thank you!"

The atmosphere of the members coming out of the meeting was ambiguous.

Everyone felt it instinctively. The review of our debut activities is not going to be great.

Ryu Chung-woo opened his mouth.

"… Shall we do as much as we can?"

"Yes."

"Let's say you're going to use the studio!"

Surprisingly, there was a consensus that we should stay up all night and pick the results quickly.

These guys, who couldn't forget the habit of running to death in auditions, got used to picking and thinking about the results first.

"Guys, wait!"

Confirming that the manager was in a hurry to contact the reality crew, I had a strong premonition.

"I couldn't sleep more than five hours."

The "Daehwanjang" march, which will make its debut within a month, was just the beginning.

* * *

The studio where reality cameras were urgently installed was underground near the company.

"I heard there's no spare studio or dance practice room in the company yet."

It was an agency that had no system, mentally or physically.

"Hello!"

"We're going to work from now on!"

After responding appropriately to the camera, the discussion began immediately.

"Let's choose between number 2 and number 7. The majority vote?

"Yes!"

What I want to push is number 7.

The result is 4:3.

"Then number 2?"

"Yes~"

It was a two-time win.

'… It's become difficult’

Those who voted for No. 2 were Ryu Chung-woo, Keon Se-jin, Seon Ahyun and Lee Se-jin.

"Since the company's song is an exciting disco, I think we'd better choose a more comfortable song to listen to.”

"It's easy to listen to medium tempo like number two. Should I say it's a sentimental youth vibe? I think it's a good idea to use it as a school concept"

"Well, I'm also... number two."

In summary, it means that he was conscious of the company's songs and considered the school concept.

"Hmm."

I want to persuade him, but the timing of talking was ambiguous because he hit it with a majority vote from the beginning. If you don't seem to accept the result, it's less convincing.

"Should I start again later?"

And after a while, the timing came with the unwelcome news.

"Oh, my"

"Oh...."

This is because I looked at my smartphone for a while while eating dinner and saw this article.

[Comeback war in June, from VTIC to Cha Dolce]

The article summarized the singers who are making a comeback next month, June.

And among them, there was a VTIC in the "scheduled for the second week of June."

Our due date was just around there.

"Foot X."

So... It means that one of the best singers in the world, who can push TeSTAR's first week of debut with "Ajusa" on his back, will be the same.

"If the article is correct... Our promotions will be exactly the same as VTIC's"

Keun Sejin, who finished the calculation quickly, muttered.

"… I'll get your autograph."

"Well, well....”

The members gave an awkward laugh and a wry smile.

If the schedule is fixed as it is, it was virtually like a sentence to give up the top spot on the airwaves.

In addition, looking at the company so far, I've come to think of it roughly.

"The director will probably say that VTIC has a chance of winning, too."

‘ Even if the working-level team tries to persuade them, it will be delayed by a week.’

Even if you think of it as the best case, it will match up with the second week of VTIC. Still, I fell behind in the weight class.

"There are definitely over 1.8 million copies of the last album.’

Therefore, it means that we need to pick the right song to see the outline of the first place.

I can't waste my chance to avoid sudden death.’

Now was the time to bring it up.

"…Wait a minute."

I immediately shifted my stance.

"I'm sorry to bring this up at the conclusion of the agreement, but I want to push for number seven.”

"What?"

Members are horrified.

‘…?’

I thought you'd be annoyed that you're holding on to a story that's over, but it feels a little bit.

"Why? Why?"

"Oh, I've never seen you do this before. It's emotional

"I guess you really liked demo number 7."

"Did your simultaneous activities with VTIC wake you up?"

“…….”

These guys are sitting there wondering.

Say as you please. Anyway, I have to do it seven times.

"Well, it's a doorstep. I know it's a shame, but it's hard to reverse what's already been concluded. It's a majority vote and we don't have much time.”

Ryu smiled at the other members, but tried to straighten things out.

"You can't."

I had a headache just imagining how angry I would be waiting for my next album if I missed the first place by a hair's breadth.

"And if you don't get first place for the next album, it's a sudden crisis."

"Give me five minutes. I'd like to try to persuade you.”

"… Really?"

"You can't do this much with a text message"

"It's weird!"

It was not intended, but rather the members began to stir.

'… What did you think of Park Moon-dae?’

Anyway, it was a good introduction that caused a stir. I quickly put things in order.

If you're going to go with a majority anyway, you only need to get one person who's easy to persuade. The score was 4 to 3.’

"First of all, Keun Sejin... And Chungwoo chose it twice because of the ease of concept

"Oh, that's true."

"Yes."

Both nodded obediently. ‘So you're interested in listening to it'

After five minutes, Ryu Chung-woo seemed to organize it again, so I had to develop the contents quickly.

"Except for the concept, if you compare songs objectively, no.7 was okay, right?"

"I liked number seven a little bit more. But isn't that enough?”

Keun Sejin answered right away.

"You're caught."

"Because it doesn't fit the company's title song?"”

"That's right."

"Then why don't you change the company's?"

“…??”

At that moment, the members became noisy as a group.

"Hey, that's a little...….”

"It's impossible!"

"…there's no way you'd do it.”

"But I want to change it."

"Wait a minute."

Ryu Chung-woo resumed the conversation.

"Moondae, think about it. Even if we don't talk about the company's songs, number 7 is school, youth...It's not a song that goes well with this."

"That's right."

He also chose No. 7, and Kim Raebin nodded sullenly.

"Number 7 is a deep house song. Plus, it's a bit dreamy because I shot the riff melody with Kalimba. It's hard to bring out a theme like "Youth." If you get rid of that part by arranging it, the charm of the song will disappear."

I shook my head.

"You don't have to get rid of it. You can make it fun."”

“……!”

While I was talking about the concept at work, I brought out the idea I had in mind.

And the members were quiet.

“…….”

"It's a pretty good face.’

Kim Raebin's blank face was already making something in his head.

"No, that's... that's a good idea."

Ryu Chung-woo struggled to open his mouth.

"I don't know if the company staff will persuade me. We don't have enough time."

“…….”

I couldn't help but think about that. Of course you're worried about the director who won't be able to communicate.

"I didn't want to say this."

I swallowed my saliva.

What do you mean?

All you have to do is to suit the taste of the director.

"…I'll make a PPT."

“……!”

"Until tomorrow morning."

“…!!”

There is no other way but to show anger and passion.

"Does college pay off here?"

I swallowed a sigh.

* * *

Park Moon-dae stayed up all night at the accommodation that day. And the other members couldn't sleep either.

It is because conscience and loyalty woke the speaker to put off everything.

Thanks to this, the presentation material became a picture made together.

"What am I looking for?”

"I'll write this down."

"This is a good image! It fits perfectly!"

However, the person who proposed the production of the overnight PPT was not very happy.

"If there are too many cooks, we'd go to the mountains."’

Park Moon-dae was planning to show the completed version in the morning and get feedback.

The help of 20-year-olds, who had never produced much presentation material in the first place, was not much needed for work.

"Raebin does some research, but I'm not bad at it either, so it doesn't matter."

Plus, there was a bit of a go at it.

'...I can't do it twice because I want to do it like this.’

It was intended to fan out the mouth of the minority No. 2 voters.

Seon Ahyun was the representative one. He was the member who chose the second song purely because it was his taste.

"Moo- Moondae. Do you want to drink this?"

However, Seon Ahyun was trying her best to help complete the PPT.

He was too passionate to be awake by conscience.

“……?”

Park Moon-dae was appalled by the sense of separation, and eventually asked.

"Will you be all right? I'm making it to push it seven times."

Seon Ahyun nodded eagerly.

"E, I thought a lot before I decided. Number two and two... Well, next time you do it, pig!"

"Well, thank you."

"Yes, oh, no! C, Since we're all doing it together...!”

“…….”

"Why did it become a composition where I felt a sense of debt?"’

Park Moon-dae decided to be more kind to Seon Ahyun.

"Where's Cha Yujin?"

"You slept in the kitchen."

Anyway, the night went by smoothly.

And the morning when the sun rose.

"Hello."

Park Moon-dae and members were forced to carry PPTs to the company's morning meeting.

"You're full of passion."

"Thank you."

The head of the headquarters, who does not know the contents of the announcement yet, said, "I like the speed and attitude."

In the first place, it was a natural favor because it was not an unknown rookie with an uncertain future, but a group that would become a goose laying golden eggs.

And five minutes later.

The head of the headquarters is extremely embarrassed.

"Director, I heard that the concept of the baseball team was created by bringing in references from the animation."

"That's right."

"When it comes to school-related cartoons, I think sports are the trend."

"Mmmmmmm."

"And one more thing, there's a genre that's consistent with sports in school comics."

"Oh, what is it?"

Park Moon-dae turned the PPT screen.

The magic wand filled the screen.

"It's a magical girl."

“……?!”

The chamber was plunged into a whirlpool of confusion.
