When everyone was resting, KangYoon entered along with Ailee. Everyone had to get up from their comfortable lying positions.
“Just lie back down and listen comfortably.”
KangYoon also sat down himself. The girls all sat down. Of course, there were none who lied down.
“Today, I came with some good news. You should have some holiday right?”
Then, everyone’s eyes shined brightly.
“Holiday? Holiday?”
Jung MinAh showed the most fierce reaction. KangYoon smiled at her cuteness.
“It isn’t efficient to practice every day. You should rest a bit.”
““Yay!!””
All the girls said hooray in joy. In truth, to a trainee, a holiday was very rare. Even if they were given one, most of the time, they would spend it in the practice rooms. It was because they thought that if they rested, they might get taken over by the other trainees.
Of course, there was no way KangYoon wouldn’t know of this.
“Your holiday is one week. You will rest in turns in 2 groups. The first group is MinAh, HanYu, Christie; The second group is Ailee, SamSoon, and JooYeon. You will rest in turns for one week so please set your schedule well. Let’s match the time with your school holidays and… Let’s take a rest in the 4th and 5th week of July. You will have to rest so don’t even think about staying at the company.”
“Can we switch groups?”
Han JooYeon asked.
“Do whatever you want. However, you have to rest in groups of 3.”
“Yes!!”
At the talk of the joyful holiday, everyone’s expressions became brighter. Until now, they practiced without any holidays. 1 week was a huge amount of time. The girls all started chatting about what they should do in their holiday.
However, Ailee, who was quiet all the time, poked KangYoon’s waist carefully.
“What is it?”
“Can… Can I go to America during that time?”
“You can. You can do whatever you want. Just come back in time.”
“Yes!!”
When KangYoon’s permission came, Ailee’s expression, which was unchanging even at the word ‘holiday’ until now, became brighter in an instant. She was excited just thinking that she would meet her family at home. Although the holiday may be short considering that she will have to go to and from America, she was happy that she could go at all.
He left the practice room as he was done with all his business here, but Jung MinAh followed him out.
“Ahjussi.”
“Team Leader.”
“…Yes, yes. Team Leader, aren’t you going on a vacation?”
At Jung MinAh’s question, KangYoon replied after thinking for a bit.”
“I don’t know. Shouldn’t I be able to go after this work ends?”
“The work with The ACE seonbaes?”
“Yes. Why?”
“It, it’s nothing. Then are you going with your little sister?”
“I think so. What is it?”
“It’s nothing.”
Jung MinAh hurriedly went back to the practice room like that.
“What’s up with her?”
KangYoon shrugged his shoulders after looking at Jung MinAh’s inexplicable actions and headed to the liaison team office.
When KangYoon came, the liaison team was raining with phone calls. On one side, they were receiving the calls, and on the other, they were making a list.
“So this is the list of the current calls for The ACE.”
KangYoon muttered when he looked at the list that Vice-Chief Kang JoonYoung made, seemingly satisfied. Vice-Chief Kang JoonYoung spoke carefully.
“Yes. The calls related to The ACE are… are about that.”
“Hm… In your view, how is it?”
“Sorry?”
“Do you think there is any TV programmes that The ACE should appear on?”
Vice-Chief Kang JoonYoung panicked at the sudden question. He never expected that the topmost person in charge, KangYoon, would ask him a question directly. However, he soon sorted his thoughts and spoke.
“Most of them are entertainment programmes. ‘Running Idol’, ‘Beauty of Challenge’, and such big ones are coming in, but it’s a question whether The ACE would do well in such programmes. Oh…”
Originally, one had to speak positively to one’s superiors who were much further up the ladder. Vice-Chief Kang JoonYoung, who realized what he had just said, hurriedly closed hi mouth.
