“Today’s number one is… Today! Congratulations!”

He clapped mechanically. MC Joo Woosung handed over the trophy with a beaming smile. Today’s gaze briefly met his, but he pretended not to notice.

“Thank you!”

“We really didn’t expect this.”

With Today, whether they ranked first or not, they were busy looking and waving only at their fans and showed no interest in others.

They were so funny, and it’s like they really followed their own way, not caring about anyone else.

As they were about to leave the stage, Today’s Yu Hyeok sent a deep, sarcastic gaze toward us.

It was a face that seemed to say, ‘You guys can’t get this, can you?’

That kind of disdainful face.

The kids were used to that kind of contempt, but surprisingly, Kim Seonghyeon took the bait. Seong Jiwon quickly grabbed and pulled him away as he made an angry face.

“Seonghyeon.”

“…”

“Let it go.”

Kim Seonghyeon sighed and turned his head after looking at Seong Jiwon.

That’s right. That’s what they should do.

Even if it’s petty and dirty, they couldn’t let it show while the cameras are rolling.

“Today, Today!”

The cheers of Today’s fans could be heard, and a passing idol group grumbled.

“Why do they like those guys? Their personalities are terrible….”

“When the cameras are rolling, they pretend to be nice, so who knows?”

“Their fans are really pitiful. They have such a bad reputation….”

I suddenly looked up and met their eyes. The gossiping idols quickly shut their mouths and moved away.

What was that group’s name again? While I made a mental note of the overheard conversation, I also nodded to the people around them with a face that pretended not to hear anything and got into the cramped van.

“Guys, good job. Let’s go to the dorm.”

“Yes.”

The atmosphere was strangely subdued.

I texted the CEO about what I heard from Joo Woosung and put my phone away.

What should I do? I pondered while plugging in my earphones and listening to our song.

Insiders…

I continued to worry about how to plan my strategy. When we arrived at the dorm, the manager carefully observed us before leaving. Then, Kang Ichae called out to me.

“Hyung.”

“…”

“Hoyun-hyung!”

“Huh?”

I looked at Kang Ichae with a bewildered gaze while absentmindedly tapping the dining table with my index finger. The other members’ eyes were all gathered on me.

“What’s wrong?”

“What is it?”

“Are you that upset about not getting first place? Or did someone pick a fight?”
