“I’m sorry in the middle of your performance. Please give me a little, just a little bit of your time.”
“What is it?”
Yoon HyeRin first calmly replied back. Even though the audience was jeering at him, he calmly approached them. He didn’t seem like an ordinary trespasser. KangYoon also stood up just in case something happened.
“I’m Jung GwanSeok, the student council president of S university. I came here since one of the singers for tonight, had punked out, and I urgently needed to invite another one.”
“Waaaaaaa!!!”
The audience who jeered at him, thinking he was a trespasser, started cheering him, who showed a reversal.
“Festival!! Festival!! Festival!!”
The member of The ACE didn’t know what to do. In fact, although they did hear about it from KangYoon, they felt unrealistic now that it came down to it.
When they looked towards KangYoon for help, he raised one finger. This meant to bounce back once. The girls who realized straight away, held up the microphone.
“Ah… I don’t think we have the qualifications to stand on a festival in S university.”
At Kim JinGyung’s words, the audience became chaotic.
“What do you mean!! Qualifications!!”
“It’s sufficient!!”
“Sufficient!! Sufficient!!”
It was instead, the audience, who were leading the atmosphere in excitement. Yoon HyeRin spoke while looking at Kim JinGyung. No, to be exact, she ‘pretended’ to speak to her.
‘Is this enough?’
‘I don’t think we should bounce them back anymore.’
After negotiating, Yoon HyeRin held up the microphone.
“Then, please take care of us.”
“Waaaaaaa——–!!”
An enormous cheer reverberated around the audience. Matching the performance, Kim JinGyung spoke.
“Then we have to end it here so we can meet later, though.”
“Booo… such a pity.”
“We can do just one more.”
“Waaaa—-!”
From some time, the girls were playing around with the audience’s hearts.

“Please take care of us.”
The student council president, Jung GwanSeok finished the conversation about the night performance in the festival and left.
“Team Leader, how did it go?”
When Kim JinGyung asked in curiosity, KangYoon answered.
“We settled for a total of 4 songs. However, I think we need to do one more. No, think of it as 6 songs. Ok?”
“Yes. I should manage my voice properly…”
While saying praiseworthy words, Yoon HyeRin put the equipments inside the bongo. Today, they had no need for these equipments again. The djembe and the synthesizer was already on the stage, so they had nothing to do with these equipments anymore.
They had some time until the rehearsal, so they rested when KangYoon’s phone started ringing loudly. It was a call from Chief Han from the promotion team.
“Yes, Mr. Han. What is it?”
-On Twisser, it says that The ACE is participating in S uni’s festival.
“You’re correct. Is there a problem?”
-I called you since there were some strange words about the event costs. It’s becoming a hot topic how The ACE will use their event costs.
“The event costs? Well, all sorts of things happen in Twisser. We were going to give it out as scholarship anyway. Please spread it around on Twisser immediately.”
-Then does that mean there is no profit for the company? People will say that you have made no achievements.
“We will be in the red for a while anyway. The time we make profit will be when The ACE goes on TV, and when various events would start coming in, so it’s alright.”
KangYoon gave out the order and ended the call.
‘I heard people turn green in envy when the neighbor succeeds. The event costs aren’t much anyway…’
Looking at those people who get fussed up over just 1 million won event money…(≈870 USD) KangYoon shrugged his shoulders.

Befitting of a ranked festival in the country, S university’s singer lineup was quite magnificent. However, there was a problem.
‘They are all on the first day and the last day?’
In the waiting room behind the stage, KangYoon shrugged his shoulders while looking at the order of sequence. Today was the third day. For some reason, due to a punk, The ACE, took that place.
“Ah, I’m so nervous. University, eh.”
