I Debut with 100 Billion Won

Chapter 6

He looked up at the man in front of him, a smile on their face and a gleam in the corner of their eyes.

man?

No, he was a young boy who hadn’t quite grown out of his boyishness yet.

With his two-block, slightly volumized style, he had a strikingly cute appearance.

“This is your room from now on, Gunha, and you’ll be sharing it with the other members. This is the kitchen, and the washing machine is here….”

As Hwang Yi-seo was showing the room to him, but he couldn’t concentrate at all.

Because Choi Wooju, like a puppy, is following behind him and Producer Hwang Yi-seo, quietly observing what they were doing.

Wooju looked as if he were expecting something, with an excited expression like a child receiving a Christmas present.

And Gun-ha quickly understood what that gaze meant.

“You can sleep in this room. You’ll be sharing it with Wooju.”

“As expected, right?”

As soon as Producer Hwang pointed to the room he would be staying in, Wooju excitedly shouted before him.

It was as if Wooju had been waiting eagerly for someone to share the room with him all this time.

“Finally, I have a roommate too! I was worried it might be with Big Bro Sung-hoon. Hehe.”

“That’s good. You guys are getting to know each other better, and Choi Wooju.”

“Yes!”

“I won’t ask why you were here until now, but don’t skip practice or slack off. You haven’t even debuted yet, so you can’t be careless.”

“I’m sorry.”

Seeing Wooju bowing his head, Producer Hwang smiled and patted Wooju on the shoulder.

“Well, this is good. First, Wooju will show you around the place, get acquainted for an hour or so, and then come to the practice room. I have a schedule, so I should probably go first.”

Hwang tapped his watch and smiled wryly.

“Good luck, Gun-ha. I hope you’ll continue to show the spirit you showed me earlier.”

“I’ll do my best.”

“Okay. First, get to know the others a bit. Well then, Wooju, I’m counting on you.”

“Yes!”

Producer Hwang walked out of the dormitory in a hurry.

*Sparkle!* *Sparkle!*

A gaze that felt burdensome.

That is Choi Wooju.

On the way over, he heard all about the GH Entertainment debut group.

The youngest member, Choi Wooju, the main dancer, Ahn Hojin, Jeong-min, who can compose and produce, and Yoo Sung-hoon, the main vocalist and current leader.

Four members in total.

All four kids he knew and recognized from ‘My Idol’.

He never thought he’d see the one with the most potential first.

In the game, Wooju was the only idol with the attribute of “youngest”, and many users raised him as their favorite because he was full of talent for entertainment.

Standing at just over 170 centimeters tall, he had a boyish appearance and a personality that never stopped smiling.

While Wooju wasn’t an S-class idol, he was an idol of the free-to-play community who was chosen as a must-have idol for non-paying users.

That was understandable.

[Choi Wooju]

[Age: 19]

[Singing: B]

[Dancing: C+]

[Appearance: B]

[Entertainment: A]

[Skill: ?? (A higher level of affinity is required.)]

The number of trainees starting with an Entertainment Stat at Class A was not very high. Trainees with even the youngest attribute were a rarity in the game.

Solid character and rare stats.

Moreover, although it is currently locked, he knows that Wooju’s fixed skill is a perfect match for his entertainment stats.

It’s probably Affinity, which is a Class A skill.

Also, having Wooju on the team almost guarantees a special event that will give one extra stat, so he’s a great trainee that not everyone can have.

Because he was the best for combining members in many ways, everyone was crazy about getting Choi Wooju.

When Gun-ha saw him in the game, Wooju was depicted in a static flat image, so seeing him in three dimensions like this felt a bit awkward.

The sparkling gaze that was being directed at him was also strangely overwhelming.

Of course, it must be fascinating for Wooju to become roommates with the new member.

“I’m Choi Wooju, Big Bro, what’s your name?”

“Yoon Gun-ha, I’m 20 years old, and I just moved from MAE to GH. Should I call it a corporate switch?”

“Oh, from a big company. You must have seen Futures seniors at MAE, right?”

No, he didn’t.

The only people that he met were Lee Jin-woo and Director Yang.

“No. I didn’t see them.”

“Really? That’s too bad. I wanted to ask you how the Future’s seniors are.”

“You’ll be able to find out when you become famous, right?”

“I hope so.”

At the time, was his profile age nineteen?

A 3rd year in high school. It’s an age when curiosity is still lively.

However, from the perspective of a man in their 30s who’s deeply entrenched in the world, he would like to respond that they’re not that different from anyone else.

Of course, that’s just a thought. Gun-ha didn’t want to shatter the kids’ fantasy.

“Oh, look at me. First of all, leave your stuff here. I tried to keep things neat and tidy, but I’m not sure if it turned out good. Hehe.”

It was neat.

Not a speck of dust in sight.

For someone with such a rambunctious personality, he was quite organized.

“I was actually a bit late for practice because I hurriedly cleaned up, not knowing if a new member would come. Maybe the trainer will scold me when I arrive, but… I thought I could make up for it by working even harder.”

Choi Wooju was quite a chatterbox.

While Gun-ha was unpacking and organizing his luggage, Wooju didn’t stop talking beside him for a moment.

“Chores are assigned to different days of the week, but most of the cooking is done by Big Brother Jeong-min, because he’s really good at it. The reason we’ve been able to survive on our own so far is because of his cooking skills.”

“And you have to be careful with Big Bro Sung-hoon, he’s the leader of our team, and he gets really upset even over small mistakes. He’s like a PE teacher.”

“Hojin doesn’t talk much, but he’s a really good dancer. Once you see him dance, you can’t take your eyes off him. Last time…”

Thanks to Wooju, he never got bored.

Thanks to Wooju giving all the answers without him having to ask, he was able to familiarize himself with the simple rules of the dormitory.

Chores are on a rotation basis.

There’s a curfew, and no one is allowed to leave the house after 12:00.

He has to follow a strict diet, and once a month he has a cheat day.

At 9:00 every day, he has to go to the practice room in the studio, and he has to complete at least eight hours before he can leave. However, if he doesn’t perform well on the internal test, he has to take extra classes.

There are two months left until debut.

The main schedule is practice, and more practice. It was said that they would practice even more intensely once a debut song was decided.

Gun-ha could feel that they were rigorously preparing for the debut.

‘It’s no joke.’

He could feel the intense effort of the trainees that couldn’t be seen in the game.

In the game, all these routines are depicted with SD characters and a handful of lines of text.

‘Or one can skip it by paying for it.’

People could skip the whole process by spending money.

That’s also why “My Idol” is considered an extremely pay-to-win game.

Since it’s impossible to do that in reality, it’s probably an inevitable process.

“This won’t be easy.”
