I remembered the story that Ri-hyuk told me a while ago.

I didnt know who he was at first. But when I thought about it, his face came to mind. He looked different when I met him before. He was younger then.

Before he came to Lemon Entertainment, Ri-hyuk was a trainee at Awullim Entertainment.

Awullim Entertainment.

One of the five small agencies that conduct annual evaluations with DNS and Lemon.

Its a company that has a reputation for being reliable in the industry.

Its specialty is vocal.

Unlike other agencies that emphasize dance performance, Awullim is an agency that specializes in nurturing singers.

Its like a middle form between an idol and a singer.

If you look at the singers that came out of Awullim, there are many solo singers or vocal groups that are not idols but have an idol-like vibe.

For example, the four-member vocal group Playlist that has a high popularity for their beautiful appearance.

It was natural for Ri-hyuk, who was weak in dance, to join Awullim.

You remember, right? I was rejected by Hwai Entertainment because they told me to dance first. After that, I applied to other agencies, but I was eliminated every time because of my dance. I had no choice.

Of course, the company staff who saw our monster vocal printed out a contract even before the audition was over.

Thats how Ri-hyuk became a trainee.

Everything went well.

Thanks to his overwhelming vocal skills, he was at a level where he could debut in a flash, and the company people liked him too.

The problem was that Ri-hyuk hated that place.

Well, every company has a different atmosphere, but there, the rookie development team staff who manage the trainees were like, Do this, do that. They would make us lie down if they told us to.

Ri-hyuk said with a disgusted look.

The problem was that there was a guy named Sato among the rookie development team staff.

Sato?

He was called Sato because he was a psycho on the fourth floor. Anyway, there was one guy who was too friendly with the trainees. He would give favors to the ones who were close to him, and treat them harshly if they didnt get along.

How were you?

How do you think? He was frustrated because he couldnt eat me. But he couldnt touch me because the CEO liked me.

It felt like he was the top student who was left alone no matter what he did.

Anyway, it was really bad. The smart ones would stick to that guy and flatter him, and the trainees would split into factions. There were probably only two people who were alone there, me and that guy Yoon Kiwon.

So you knew him from before?

No. I never talked to him.

Ri-hyuk said that he was a my-way at that time, and Yoon Kiwon was a trainee who had a faint presence that didnt catch his eye.

The only image that came to mind was that of a timid kid.

But usually, when theres a mess upstairs, the kids downstairs have no place to vent their stress, right?

You vented it on him.

I think so. I didnt care and didnt know what was going on.

I guessed what kind of atmosphere it was.
