Chapter 168

A face-to-face meeting with the director of the management office was agreed upon after a slight commotion.

There were several attempts to inquire about the reason for the meeting with the director, but surprisingly, vague words such as, 'I have something to say' was enough of an excuse.

'Seems like he makes a good amount of money from TeStar.'

Since the money resource was something with emotions, he was clearly trying to be appeasing.

I had even come up with a specific excuse.

And I also think he must have been quite a bit nervous in the management office.

Because a guy, who wasn't even the leader of the group and didn't have much assertiveness outside of the albums and activity plans until now, suddenly put in a request for a meeting.

He was probably racking his brains regarding this unexpected action.

Although, he didn't have to do that for long.

"Then I will go see you tomorrow."

- Ah... yes.

I made an appointment for a meeting for the very next day.

It was the only time I didn't have a schedule during the daytime so it couldn't be helped.

I shrugged as I hung up the phone.

'Hmm... what kind of guesses are they making?'

It wasn't particularly relevant, but I was curious about the circumstances.

And I found out what the company had assumed based on my behavior within five minutes after entering the meeting with the director at 10 o'clock the next day.

"Um... Moondae-ssi, is there anything you are dissatisfied with about the group activities?"

"..."

"It may be frustrating for you Moondae-ssi since you are so talented. But still, it would be more stable to keep going with this trend for another year or so."

After greeting each other, we talked about personal affairs for a while, and then that became the main topic.

'Aha.'

And I noticed from his nuance.

'Did he think I wanted a solo career?'

It was a conclusion that could be easily and quickly drawn.

A first-place winner of a survival show, with good responses to recent individual variety show appearances who received counseling for mental health and anxiety during group activities.

'With that background, it wouldn't be strange even if I really came here to talk about my solo career.'

And there was one more thing that I realized.

'This guy hasn't had many conversations like this.'

If I was really interested in solo activities and came to complain about group-oriented activities, that was not how the conversation should have started.

Suddenly having to hear 'Let's go on like this for another year' before I even brought up anything.

A celebrity who was going through an insecure period must be quite convinced of that.

'No matter what, he should have let the celebrity bring up the conversation first and then pretended to be worried.'

Usually, if you applied to become a director in an entertainment company, you should be someone who has been successful in this kind of work, but this guy was not like that.
