164 – Final Activity (3)

ㅡAre you willing to extend your contract?

After receiving Shock Entertainment’s offer, I withheld my answer on the spot.

Since each of the members and I had our own company, what was important was the intention of the original agency.

It was also because it was expected that most of the agencies would not realistically or rationally agree to the extension of Saven’s contract.

The bigger reason was because I was upset inside.

With the sisters who will be waiting for you at Top East, who were with you from your trainee days until your debut.

24 Hours a day, 365 days a year.

The Saven members and fans have become more than just colleagues who lived together in the same bed and place.

Because I had to weigh and choose.

It would have been the same for the members as well.

I guess that’s why I postponed the answer.

Even if they wanted to extend it, they probably didn’t say it out loud considering the other members’ positions.

ㅡGuys, Gocheok Dome is sold out!

And after Gocheok Dome was sold out, the state of mind became even more confused and complicated with the news that each agency had decided to gather and hold an extended meeting.

Are we worried that our hearts would be shaken for no reason, we decided to return our phones for the remainder of our schedule and focus only on our new song and concert.

* * *

Days, days, and weeks have passed, and there are still extension negotiations going on.

There was no change in our schedule.

All schedules are proceeding as is.

And it was the same for our title song.

Just like the project group in Season 1 and Season 2.

The last title of the project group that is about to disband is a ballad genre.

Because the breakup required a lyrical song that conveyed emotions to the fans.

Because it was not possible to change the song in a short period of time, we decided to keep the title as is.

As it is a ballad, the members mostly went into their respective vocal rooms and practiced the song alone, except when they gathered in the practice room to practice for the concert stage or take vocal lessons.

ㅡWhat did I look like back then?

And I also stayed in the vocal room and continued practicing.

ㅡWhat did you think when you saw me?

When I sang the lyrics with emotion, I got emotional and became depressed, but then I leaned back on the chair for a moment, took off the headset, and closed my eyes.

‘Why are you crying over something like this…’

I picked up the water bottle on the desk and took a gulp of water to calm my stomach.

“Huh…”

From noble mtl dot com

After working with members who are women in their prime for over a year, I suddenly feel that my behavior has become similar to them without even realizing it, and that I have become much more feminine.

Well, since I was a member of a girl group, I had to act like a girl, so I probably did it more.

“Ugh… You’re really a girl.”

I thought this could be the case when I became a member of a girl group, so I complain even more self-deprecatingly.

“It’s a girl…?”

“Oh, surprise!”

I was suddenly startled by a voice coming from behind me and turned my head to see Sarah standing behind me with a smile on her face.

“Dohee is a really cute girl…!?”

“No, when did you come in?”

I guess I couldn’t hear anyone because I was practicing with a headset on.

“Um… 10 Minutes?”

“No, then you should pretend to be popular. Why are you staying quiet?”

“I don’t know…?”

Her older sister comes to visit suddenly, so it doesn’t happen every day or two, so she doesn’t want to do that anymore.

“Okay, get out!”

But not now.

Because it was time to practice.

‘You must have seen me practice singing…’

I feel a little embarrassed for no reason.

Moreover, Sarah sings better than me.

“Do, Dohee, sing well! You sing better than me…!?”

Sera seemed to have sensed my feelings and shouted desperately, waving my arms.

“I have to sing better than you.”

Even my favorite fan wouldn’t say something like that.

“No, Dohee sings well and is so amazing…!”

“Just leave. I’m embarrassed to practice.”

Sera became sullen at my firm words.

“Are you really going out…?”

“Uh. Come back later.”

Sera looked at me pitifully for no reason.

“Hmph… I’m going out…?”

And seeing that makes me feel weak.

“Sera is leaving…”

Because she was Sarah, who looked sadder than any of her members ahead of disbandment.

She seemed a little better when she heard that there was a possibility of extending her hold.

“Ugh… Let’s play for 10 minutes. I have to practice after that. You’re paying a lot of money to come see us. We have to work hard.”

“Yes!”

So she played with her sister Sarah for 10 minutes.

Well, at best, she was just chatting while eating snacks that her older sister had made.

“Now… Get out…?”

“Yes, we’ll see each other at dinner anyway. Let’s eat what she likes for dinner.”

“Ugh…”

In the end, I became sullen again and left.

Anyway, after my sister left, I started practicing again.

I put on the headset again and tried to sing.

The door bursts open again.

I turned my head to Sarah, who had been out for some time, coming in, somewhat nervous even when I thought about it.

“Oh, Sarah! I have to practice?”

But when I look back, the person standing there is not Sarah.

“How can you call me worse than me?”

A vocal line that doesn’t worry about singing as much as Sarah.

“What is it, Seoyoon?”

Seoyoon suddenly blew air into her cheek.

“Woah, cute floating girl, Watto.”

“Ah.”

This is truly disgusting.

As I looked at her with disdain, Kim Seo-yoon got excited and sat down on the chair next to me.

“But Sarah, why does she like you so much? Good luck~”

Ah, why are you like this?

“Well… Because it’s cute, pretty, kind, and has a good personality?”

Now, Seoyoon looks at me with disdain.

Have you no conscience?

“I’ll just leave.”

“Uh, get out. I have to practice.”

Of course, that was what I wanted, so I put the headset back on.

“I don’t like it, play with me.”

And Kim Seo-yoon trying to take off my headset.

I slapped that hand away.

“Ha… I thought I was going to leave without hesitation.”

“Please play with me~”

Whining coming through the headset.

There is nothing we can do, all we can do is let Kim Seo-yoon play for 10 minutes and then send her out.

“Yes, I won’t leave for 10 minutes~”

“After that, I’m going to use my fists.”

Kim Seo-yoon avoids her eyes.

My sister has become an adult, but I am stronger than her.

“Okay, do you want to eat anything?”

Kim Seo-yoon quickly changes his stance.

“Why? There’s nothing in particular.”

“Let’s decide where to go on our next vacation. Last time, Hana found an escape room that she thought you might like. How about going there?”

“Vacation?”

“Yes. It was your birthday a while ago, but you couldn’t even play. I was just worried.”

I care about everything.

“All we could do was cut the cake and celebrate together.”

Moreover, we had a celebration party and a live broadcast.

“But the concert ends next month, so let’s hang out then.”

“Well… I don’t really care about birthdays, so it doesn’t matter… And if the contract is extended in the first place, there may be no vacation.”

It is unlikely that it will be extended.

“That’s right…”

Seoyoon’s expression changed slightly.

“So what do you want to do?”

Even though it may seem the same as before, the accent and atmosphere are exuding.

What Seoyoon was asking about now wasn’t something trivial like vacation.

“Extension?”

Seoyoon nodded her head slowly.

Although we are not usually friends, this is a topic we have never discussed alone until now.

Seoyoon probably came in when they were alone to ask this.

“Well, it’s stupid to just worry about it.”

I put the headset on the desk around my neck.

It was a gesture that he didn’t want to talk much.

“Just think of it as the end and prepare for the concert.”

And when Seoyoon heard those words, she looked somewhat annoyed.

Is it because I have an emotional personality?

Of course, I think I spoke a little rudely.

“Are you able to do that?”

“Then what should I do?”

“No…”

Seoyoon tried to continue her words, but she swallowed.

And then silence for a moment.

I opened my mouth for the last time before putting on the headset.

“To be honest, it’s better not to have extensions. There are too many things at stake.”

“That’s why we’re proposing a short extension. Just one year.”

“Whether it’s a one-year extension or a half-year extension, there will be talk of another extension once it’s over. Fans will say that they did it once, so let’s do it again. It’s better to complete the contract as agreed.”

Even though my sister sympathized with what I said, she continued to express her displeasure.

“It’s good, it’s reasonable.”

And it wasn’t that I couldn’t sympathize with my sister’s frustration.

Emotions and reason were different.

Because I, too, was not in a good mood as I said this.

“That’s just the way it is.”

So, I felt like if I said more, my emotions would only intensify and we would fight.

Because of this, I put my headset fully up.

And at the same time, my sister lies down as if leaning on a chair.

“No matter how I look at it, I have too many distracting thoughts.”

Actually, I was probably the only one Seoyoon said this.

“It’s a stupid trait. Stephen Hawking told me to focus on what I can do.”

We have been together for a long time since we were trainees.

Whether we liked it or not, we were going to be together in the future.

“It’s good because you’re smart.”

“That’s right. The grades prove it. Lee Do-hee plans to go to Korea University. No, should I just go to Harvard? Or Juilliard?”

“What is Juilliard? Go to Hansung Arts High School.”

“Ah~ The world restricts me~”

Then Seoyoon smiled and continued speaking.

“So, you start high school next week, right?”

“Yeah. Ugh… School at this age. I really don’t want to go.”

“I’m at that age, so I’m going to school. I expect my sister to bring me pretty flowers for the entrance ceremony. I learned flower arrangement last time.”

“Even if you don’t look at it, I guess I’ll be the flower after coming empty-handed.”

“Oh, it hit the nail on the head.”

But even if other things changed, it seemed like our relationship probably wouldn’t change.

“I’m sick and tired of it.”

“Your face.”
