Great job, everyone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun spoke to Queng and the other employees of the Queng Café.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The café’s operating hours were from 9 AM to 7 PM. At last, the day’s business was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh! 120 million won in daily sales! Our Queng is amazing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quhehehe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun checked the day’s revenue on the POS system and praised Queng. It was thanks to Queng being able to brew 10 cups of coffee at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queng?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dad, then how many Tower Coins did Queng earn today?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm. About 60 Tower Coins?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh? That’s too little?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Converted into Tower Coins, the amount suddenly felt small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queng’s weekly allowance was 100 Tower Coins...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun worried that Queng might be disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quhehehe. Queng! Queng! Queng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hehehe. If Queng works every day, that’s 420 Tower Coins a week! Queng is rich now, so just tell me anything you want, Dad! Queng will buy it all for you!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Positive King Queng was already imagining his weekly earnings and feeling happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puhuhu. Queng, then I, the Vice Chairman Te—nyap?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun covered Theo’s mouth. If left alone, Theo would definitely ask for something super expensive without thinking about Queng’s wallet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Queng, can you brew seven iced americanos?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sedol made a request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About five minutes later, a van stopped in front of the café.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sedol!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother-in-law, hello!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother-in-law~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sera and the other members of Moonlight Fairy poured out of the van, calling out to Sedol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moonlight Fairy, a girl group in their 10th year. While they kept things private from the media, unofficial dating was allowed, so the other members already knew that Sedol and Sera were dating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah. Guys, good to see you. This is my older brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sedol introduced Sejun to the members of Moonlight Fairy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehe. Nice to meet you. I’m Park Sejun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun greeted them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puhuhu. Human ladies, nice to meet «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» you! I am the loyal servant of the great Chairman Park...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Theo began his introduction—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The legendary Golden Claw Hybrid Cat, Park Theo! I’m Yuri Cha, Moonlight Fairy’s official cat butler! Can I touch your paws?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuri Cha interrupted Theo’s intro and spoke instead. For reference, she was also a member of Theo’s fan club, the Meowmeowdan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puhuhu. Very well...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo graciously began to permit it when—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kkyu-kkyu—not allowed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo-nim is mine!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iona expressed her discomfort. She had already held back earlier when the girls took pictures with Theo—but touching his paws?! That was skinship!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh my! The hamster talked!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So cute!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can I pet your fur?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Would you like some nuts?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All attention that had been on Theo instantly shifted to Iona.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nya.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And thus, the two were forgotten by the fairies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sedol, let’s go to Paris together when I fly there for my next photo shoot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Should we?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling bored, Sejun sat at the table where Sedol and Sera were chatting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other members of Moonlight Fairy followed, gathering at the table as they chased after Iona, who was clinging to Theo’s tail on Sejun’s lap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once everyone was seated—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The coffee is ready!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queng brought out the coffee and cakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow~!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So cute!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is this place?! There are too many adorable beings!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I might die from cuteness overload!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The members of Moonlight Fairy squealed in delight again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While their attention was elsewhere—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nom. Nom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sedol, your brother made this, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah. Eat as much as you want.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, brother-in-law’s cake is the best! So delicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sera stuffed her face with cake eagerly—after all, the more her members reached for it, the less she’d get.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?! Sera unnie is eating all the cake!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youngest glutton, Soyoung Oh, shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So unfair!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want cake too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The members grabbed forks and dove into battle over cake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There went Sejun’s fantasy about celebrities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s more, so take your time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun decided to treat the idol members casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother-in-law’s cakes are the best, aren’t they?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother-in-law? Sejun brother-in-law, can I have one more blueberry cake?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ria-chan, you can’t call him brother-in-law! Sedol’s mine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh. Is that so? I didn’t know. Sumimasen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was pure chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puhuhu. Humans, aren’t you curious about the legendary tale of how the great Hybrid Chairman Park and I, Vice Chairman Te, first met?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quhehehe. Queng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Queng also wants to tell the story of meeting Dad for the first time!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kihihit. Kkin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Heehee. The great Kkamang wants to go first! Actually, the great Kkamang had already marked the human as his butler before the butler was even born!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jingle! Tingle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[To have marked Sejun-nim before he was even born! As expected of the great Kkamang! You are truly amazing!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, chaos wasn’t limited to the other side either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the noisy chatter between Sejun’s group and Moonlight Fairy members went on—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?! A bell sound?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurosaki Ria, called Ria-chan by Sera, heard Kkobang’s bell and pulled out her phone to play a song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jingle. Jingle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Were you having a hard day again today?)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Music began to play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s attention turned toward the song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For different reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun’s group thought—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s our song!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it was a song they had composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Moonlight Fairy—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?! Sejun-nim knows this song too?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course he does. It was on the news for hitting a million streams in record time on WorkPie and topping the Melong charts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard even Appletunes is showing strong reactions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But how did someone come up with this concept?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoever composed this must be a genius.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pinky Girls are so lucky. To get a song like this...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard it was composed by someone named Kyungsoo Cho from CK Entertainment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kyungsoo Cho? Never heard of him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh. I’m jealous! I wish we’d gotten this song...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the hot trending song right now. As industry insiders, they were more aware of such buzz.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the song ended—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guys, time to go! If we stay longer, we’ll be late for the next shoot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The manager herded Moonlight Fairy out. As they left, each one carried two boxes of cake—saying they needed to support the café’s grand opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sedol, wrap things up for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun asked Sedol to clean up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sedol nodded silently at the rare serious look on Sejun’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d only seen that look once before—when Sejun promised to get back the money local bullies took from him. He didn’t recover the money, but he came home with bruises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then they went to eat tteokbokki together...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Sedol drifted into memory, Sejun and his group stepped outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teotson, ready?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puhuhu. Detective Sherlock Sejun’s great assistant Teotson is ready to catch the bad human-nya!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Detective Quenan is also ready to catch the music thief!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kkin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Butler! Detective Kapang is ready too!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes. The detectives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were headed to catch Kyungsoo Cho—the one who stole their song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then Taecho will be... Detective Taechoping!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taecho quickly made up her own detective name and joined the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah. It really feels like a dream lately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Same.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you believe we’re number one?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the van en route to an interview, the members of Pinky Girls chattered excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their schedule was brutal—they only got two hours of sleep a day—but the joy of rising from a second-tier group to a first-tier one wiped away all their fatigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahem. “Who brought that second wind, huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosa, the group’s leader, struck a smug pose with both hands cupped behind her ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rosa unnie, stop. That’s more than the hundredth time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One hundred? I’ll say it a thousand times!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, fine. As you wish, Queen Rosa.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But it really is thanks to Rosa unnie being the first to hear the song Kyungsoo Cho uploaded and leaving a message.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyungsoo had shared it in a group chat for the A&R team, which included celebrities under CK Entertainment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehe. Normally, I would’ve ignored him as a nepotism case, but for some reason, I wanted to listen to it that day. And I was right. The moment I heard it, I knew—‘this one’s ours!’ So...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So Rosa unnie sent a message saying ‘Me!’ with a hundred hand-raising emojis to show her passion?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey! That was my line!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph. Too bad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Rosa and her archrival Kir argued—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I honestly had zero expectations when I heard he was a nepotism case. Who knew he was hiding such talent?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly. Everyone was shocked.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They talked more about Kyungsoo Cho.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Honestly, I wanted to cry when we had to cancel our MV shoot the night before and rush to record and choreograph again, but now I’m so happy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Same. But thank god we didn’t film the MV. If we had, we wouldn’t have gotten this song.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right. Manager oppa said if we had filmed it, the song would've gone to Phoenix.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s such a relief.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, when is Phoenix coming back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard they’re set for next month. And apparently, all five songs Kyungsoo Cho uploaded after that went to Meteor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow. We really snatched this song away from Phoenix and Meteor...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Girls! We’re number one on both WorkPie and Appletunes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their manager, checking the music charts on his phone, shouted—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>““Kyaa!””\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The van rang with Pinky Girls’ joyful screams. Meanwhile, they quietly arrived at the interview venue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[CK ENTERTAINMENT]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the place?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun looked between the map app on his phone and the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puhuhu. Looks like it-nya! Let’s go catch Kyungsoo Cho-nya!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kkin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad, leave it to Detective Taechoping!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group was fired up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had already memorized his face from all the news appearances. Despite stealing the song, he shamelessly gave tons of interviews.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guys, hide yourselves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Sejun’s command, the group used stealth skills to vanish. For those without stealth—Kkamang and Taecho—Iona cast invisibility magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you here to see?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Sejun tried to enter the CK Entertainment building, security stopped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kyungsoo Cho.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Composer Kyungsoo Cho? Do you have an appointment?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then please come back after scheduling one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun backed away without resistance. He’d already anticipated this wouldn’t work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright. Time for Plan B.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Iona, hit me with Invisibility and Blink spells.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Okay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shooom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to Iona’s magic, Sejun comfortably entered CK Entertainment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where would he be?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remaining invisible, he began calmly searching for Kyungsoo Cho.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyungsoo Cho lay on the recording studio sofa, giggling at his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two things were different from usual today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One: he was eating late-night snacks instead of lunch and lying on the sofa. He’d stayed out drinking late with the company president as thanks for yesterday’s hit song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His uncle, who had gotten him this job, insisted he work at least 8 hours a day. So here he was, begrudgingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>– Hello, Composer Cho. This is Daniel, leader of Meteor. We love all five songs you sent! The members are thrilled. Let’s work together on our next album too!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>– Hello. This is Lee Kyung-tae, Head of A&R at DD Entertainment. If you’re available, how about grabbing a meal?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was now receiving messages like this. He used to just scroll through forums or webtoons, but now he checked DMs from people trying to contact him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, his self-esteem was skyrocketing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But why haven’t they sent more songs lately?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had told the staff to immediately forward any files received from sjbb music, but nothing had come in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should he approach them and pressure them to make more?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, he hadn’t expected things to go this well, and now he was getting greedy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>– Hello.
