LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 5 p2
“If you had shown that side of yourself a little earlier, we could have gone together.”
The regret in their tone was palpable.
While letting out a heavy sigh, Yang Hyun-woo clicked his tongue as if he hated to let Gun-ha go.
“After I got kicked out of MAE, I realized that I can’t just remain quiet.”
“Haah. I’m sorry. I should have paid more attention.”
“No, thank you very much. You’re the reason I’ve been able to sign with GH.”
“Well, I appreciate you saying that.”
Even if he had shown this side of him before, it probably wouldn’t have worked out with MAE.
There was already an undercurrent within the company that wanted to kick him out. The other members were already ostracizing him.
Even if Yoon Gun-ha stayed, he wouldn’t have been able to succeed.
Going to GH was probably an inevitable fate.
It wouldn’t be a surprise to him.
[Convince the officials of GH Entertainment that you are an idol worthy of making a debut.]
[Successfully Completed the Sub-quest].
[Earned 2 Open Mileage points].
[Received excellent recognition].
[Awarded 1 Open Mileage point].
He was even given a quest to impress the GH officials.
Failure means death.
It was as if he had to go there.
“Alright then, let’s go.”
He bowed deeply and left the MAE dormitory.
This is where his relationship with MAE ends.
Perhaps he’ll see them again someday, but it didn’t seem like it would be a pleasant reunion.
“Get in.”
He climbed into the passenger seat of Producer Hwang Yi-seo’s car.
“Where’s CEO Choi?”
“He left first. Business stuff.”
“Oh.”
“Put the bag in the back and let’s head to the dormitory first.”
“Okay.”
“Is it okay if I speak comfortably? I’m older than you, after all.”
“Yes, it’s all right.”
Since he was already possessing a twenty-year-old Yoon Gun-ha, he decided to adapt to his current age.
He’ll just have to lower his voice.
The car drove forward smoothly.
“You’ll have to practice a lot. There’s not enough time.”
The producer Hwang, who had been looking straight ahead, sharply pierced me with his words.
He understood the meaning behind those casual words.
It means that they chose him based on his character rather than his skills.
It meant that if he didn’t have the skills to match, he would fall behind.
“I understand. I’ll show you my growth so that you’ll be satisfied, Producer.”
“I hope so.”
Of course he’ll show it.
He’s desperate to show it.
How did he get chosen?
If he doesn’t work hard, he’ll be in trouble.
Because his life is on stake.
[Sub-quest: Receive recognition from your members].
[Duration: 2 Weeks]
[Failure: Penalty for ‘Main Quest: Debut’].
[Reward: 5 Open Mileage]
As soon as he signed the contract on GH, he gained a new quest.
A quest to be recognized by his fellow members within two weeks.
Members he hadn’t even been introduced to yet.
This quest seems to be trying to make sure he debut as an idol no matter what.
He wondered what was the rush.
When he read the quest’s content, which stated a penalty for the main quest if not recognized within two weeks, his mind quickly reeled.
[Penalty for ‘Main Quest: Debut’]
This meant a new obstacle in the way of his debut.
If he didn’t complete the sub-quest, he wouldn’t be able to clear the main quest smoothly.
‘How am I going to be recognized by the other members in two weeks?’
It’s difficult if they’re too territorial.
If it’s full of people like Lee Jin-woo, then it’s easier to deal with.

-Do your best. The kid seems to overflow with fighting spirit, not quite like a normal long-time trainee. He’s good-looking too, so he should blend in easily with the existing members.
CEO Choi Kang-hoon left first for a meeting with a broadcasting station, and Hwang Yi-seo, who took the wheel to take Gun-ha with him, looked at the side profile of Yoon Gun-ha sitting in the passenger seat and thought.
‘Kang-hoon’s right, a commodity is a commodity.’
Hwang Yi-seo thought of Yoon Gun-ha as a lottery ticket.
He’s about half way scratched.
A lottery ticket that could be a bust or a jackpot, depending on which picture appears on the other half.
Gun-ha seems to have some talent, but can he use it on stage?
It was all unknown.
The only thing Yi-seo knows is that even the great MAE didn’t debut Gun-ha.
At the same time.
‘It also means that he endured five years at MAE.’
That he’d beaten all those practitioners and was still there at the end.
Yi-seo decided to bet on that alone and make a bet.
If Gun-ha failed, it wouldn’t be a big blow.
They’d just have to switch from a five-man team to a four-man team.
‘It’s worth scratching.’
If that appearance, that confidence, and that mouth works on stage.
He could definitely be a number one lottery ticket.
And Hwang Yi-seo sincerely hoped so.

“Here we are. I’ll guide you to the dormitory. First, grab your luggage and come out.”
“Okay.”
He shouldered his luggage and followed Hwang Yi-seo into the dormitory.
The facilities were quite decent.
They must have invested a lot. A neat property with good facilities.
It looked like they rented out part of an office building.
“The others are probably not here right now. They’ve all gone to practice, so just put your luggage down first….”
*Ding!*
The elevator doors open.
“Huh? Producer?”
“Wooju, why are you here?”
“Oh? Is this the new member you brought in?”
A man who looked like a group member was standing in front of the elevator door.
