NOVEL NEXT Chapter 14
There were constant situations where Haeun didn’t want to accept his current behavior.
Once, he almost cried after being teased by Seongjae and Il-hyeon, and another time, he embarrassingly collapsed when Junwoo startled him. This was particularly frustrating given that the old Haeun was someone who had stormed into haunted houses with friends and alcohol, unfazed by fear. Now, he found himself trembling at the ghost stories his members shared to pass the time.
Whenever Haeun noticed himself acting out of character, it felt as though he were possessed. It was as if the original spirit and personality of the idol “Park Ha” were haunting him, slowly taking over his mind and actions.
The mere thought of completely merging with “Park Ha” from the game by the time the story ended was chilling.
Now, having just finished the first week of broadcasts, Haeun realized that the story’s timeline suggested several more months to reach the ending. Even completing the month-long comeback activities seemed daunting.
The game had many events interspersed between the main storylines, even though the exact timeline didn’t come out.
If you do well during this period, you can increase your favorability and decide your route. However, if you don’t watch the event properly, it will just end up as ‘you have worked hard’ scenario and move on to the next chapter,
which was precisely what Haeun aimed for
.
The second storyline was that the members would all participate in a group competition program. Now, if he performed well in this competition, it could significantly boost their popularity.
Was the third storyline about filming a reality TV show together?
If he pursued a route involving Yejun from another group, he would also appear on a variety show featuring him.
‘Whatever, it’ll all work out somehow.’
With nothing more coming to mind, Haeun decided to stay positive. Despite the ups and downs, he was managing to get through the activities somehow.
Thinking about enduring it was overwhelming, but he had no choice but to think that it would all work out somehow.
It was at the end of the practice when Haeun was suddenly called by the CEO. After quickly showering, he hurried to the CEO’s office. He wondered why he would call him in person instead of relaying the schedule through his manager. He remembered being annoyed every time the CEO called him directly in the game as well.
Haeun peeked through the office door and asked in a polite tone.
“You called for me?”
“Yes, come in.”
The CEO gestured hurriedly for him to enter. Sensing the urgency, Haeun quickly approached the desk. The CEO, with his hands clasped together, informed him of the schedule in a serious tone.
“We received an offer for
‘God of Live’.”
“
‘God of Live’?”
One thing Haeun realized after becoming “Park Ha” was that when he didn’t know what to say, he could just parrot what the other person said. This way, he could usually buy some time.
“Yes, you know what kind of show it is, right?”
Haeun wasn’t familiar with the variety of shows in the
“Eurasha Idol”world, but he had come across a video of
“God of Live”on social media recently. It was almost the only show Haeun knew about. He nodded and answered.
The real life equivalent would be “I Can See Your Voice” by TvN. It’s a show where a guest celebrity would have to guess the only person living live while everyone else is lipsyncing.
‘
‘God of Live’was a show known for featuring fairly high-profile celebrities. That’s why it never appeared in the original ‘Eu-Idol’ game. How did this happen?’

God of Live
