Become A Music Monster Overnight! [EN]: Chapter 52

17. Baby Fox

It was past 3 PM when Youngchan arrived at YC Entertainment.

His complexion looked dark, as if something hadn’t gone well. However, his gloomy look didn’t last long.

“Ah, hello. I’m Ari from Good Night.”

“I’m Yuna. It’s an honor to meet you.”

“I-I’m Jiheon. Hello.”

It was because he was finally meeting Good Night for the second time.

Youngchan had fallen for Good Night during their second album promotions, which were said to have failed miserably.

At the time, he had been dispatched to a partner company of the factory where he worked.

It was called a dispatch, but in reality, he was forced to work in a remote area because he was low on the totem pole. He was physically and mentally exhausted during this time.

He met Good Night when his fatigue was at its peak.

“Using dispatched employees like this, typical of a small company… Damn it! Why are there so many people today!”

Muttering, he had come to the city to buy materials on behalf of the small company’s employees, who were being worked even harder than him. He belatedly realized that there was a festival event in the city that day.

Since there was a large quantity of materials to pick up, he had to wait. He decided to watch the festival event for a while, and that’s where he saw them.

While he was familiar with trot songs [a genre of Korean pop music] from working at the small factory, the moment Youngchan saw Good Night, who had been invited as idols, he couldn’t take his eyes off them.

The sight of the girls he encountered by chance in his dreary, difficult daily life was so surreal.

Although everything, including the music and costumes, was lacking, they couldn’t hide their shining star quality.

In that first meeting of only about five minutes, Youngchan became their fan.

After finding out their names through the list of invited singers, he bought both their first and second albums, which helped him get through that difficult time.

Although all the songs except the first album’s title track, ‘Outsider,’ were unbalanced, Youngchan still liked them.

Because his monstrous musical talent was still there, he immediately recognized their talent hidden behind the songs.

At the time, he didn’t know why he was so drawn to them because of his low musical knowledge, but now he is different.

‘Each and every one of them is a sparkling gem.’

Youngchan was later than expected to return, so after eating, he watched them practice hastily in what they had made into a practice room, and he was able to reaffirm his conviction.

Then, Jang Daehoon recognized him, which led to the current greeting.

“I’m meeting you for the first time as a fan. My name is Park Youngchan. I look forward to working with you.”

“Uh… uh!”

“Gulp…”

“!!!”

Because his joyful heart was so great, Youngchan unknowingly emitted an aura.

The aura he emitted was more intense than when he shook the Japanese archipelago in the past.

This happened because Hong Euichan upgraded it to a new version in the process of appearing as a cameo in the ‘Bunny Bunny’ music video produced by Hong Euichan.

The upgraded aura was not something that even the Good Night members, who had some experience in the entertainment industry, could handle.

-Hiccup, hiccup!-

Jiheon, the youngest member, was so surprised that she even started hiccuping.

“Ah!”

Only then did Youngchan realize his mistake and quickly erase the remnants of his aura.

However, by that time, not only Good Night but even Jang Daehoon had been captivated by him.

Youngchan couldn’t help but lament inwardly at their reaction.

‘Haa… What on earth did that Hong director do to me?’

The moment that was supposed to be a monumental meeting was twisted, so Youngchan blamed Director Hong Euichan for no reason, and ended the meeting by getting autographs on the albums he had brought, though it was a shame.

The project for the Good Night members, who had joined in this way, began in earnest about two months later.
