I knocked nervously on the door to the room where PD Bang was. Then I heard a voice telling me to come in, and with great anticipation, I opened the door and went in.
โOh, so youโre here, heroine?โ
โYou called..โ
I wish I had told you I was debuting. But even with all this anticipation, all I got in return was, "Just hold on a little longer."
โThatโs right. There are more people coming, so please wait.โ
The corners of my mouth went up involuntarily at PD Bang's words, thinking that I could debut.
I sat down on the sofa naturally.
I was busy calming my excited mind so as not to seem like a strange person.

'dripping-'
There was a knock, the door opened, and seven men came in.
โDid you call?โ
A man who looked like a model asked me the same question.
โOh, I did. The reason I called you was..โ
PD Bang got up from his chair and sat down on the sofa.
โFrom now on, I will debut with the female protagonist sitting here.โ
PD Bang's words instantly silenced the room.
"yes..?"
The person who broke the silence was a man who looked like a model.
"togetherย To debutย That's it.โ
At PD Bang's words, I unconsciously slammed my desk and stood up from my seat. Then, everyone's eyes turned to me.
โDonโt talk nonsense. You promised to let me debut in a girl group..!โ
Since it's come to this, I said what I wanted to say. But it seemed like he was ignoring me.
โDo as you are told.โ
It was PD Bang who said that.
"Why didn't you even consult us? Don't you even consider our opinions?"
This time, a handsome man spoke.
โHa.. Didnโt I tell you earlier? And I thought your debut was only a few months away?โ
โ...โ
I didn't say anything to PD Bang's words. If I were to roughly interpret what he meant, it was a threat that he could delay my debut date.
โIf you understand, then leave.โ
I had no choice but to go out with the seven men.
โWe have no intention of being friends with you, so just know that.โ
As soon as I came out, there was a man who looked like a cat and glared at me.
โPretend to be friendly in front of people.โ
โI believe you know what will happen if you donโt.โ
I had no choice but to nod.

The clueless manager sent me and seven other men to the practice room. And all he asked us to do was give a statement.
As we started to introduce ourselves one by one, the rabbit, no, Jeon Jungkook, who seemed younger than me, was actually older than me.
โWhat are you doing? Yeoju, introduce yourself quickly!โ
"I guess it's my turn," he said, glancing at the seven members who were acting nice even in front of their manager.
โMy name is Lee Yeo-ju, and my stage name is โJoo.โ Iโm 17 years old.โ
Everyone welcomed me. Or rather, they pretended to. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't upset.
โThen letโs practice dancing and then go back to the dorm.โ
"yes!!"
As soon as the manager opened the practice room door and went out after hearing the members' answers, the atmosphere in the practice room changed in an instant.
โLetโs practice properly.โ
A man named Kim Seok-jin said.
โYou didnโt come in here without even being able to dance, did you?โ
A person named Jeong Ho-seok who speaks sarcastically of me...
I think it's going to be harder to adapt than I thought.
