Idol in a Gender-Reversed World

When I boldly bet 6 coins on stamina.

Honestly, I wasn't unaware of the potential side effects. Despite that, I had to do it, so I made the decision.

And now, looking at the coins I possess in the status window, I am convinced it was not a futile choice.

[Coins Possessed: 6 (3+3)]

Was it because I increased my stamina?

The bonus coin +2, which used to appear occasionally, came up consecutively.

Thanks to this, although I spent 6 coins, the result is that I still have 6 coins left.

"My choice is perfect~"

Increasing stamina was a way to earn more coins.

Moreover, if I collect coins from both Teacher Boksoon and Sister Jua, the coins will accumulate even faster.

There is something I want to buy with the accumulated coins.

As expected, in games, gear is the best.

Among the items available through their status window, there are many things that are much more efficient than simply using coins for ability enhancement.

When I came out of the bathroom after washing, Teacher Bok-soon was awake.

"Did you sleep well?"

"After doing such an incredible thing yesterday, you're fine?"

"An incredible thing?"

When I replied as if last night was no big deal, Teacher Bok-soon shook her head as if disgusted and said,

"I've thought this for a while, but you're really special."

In the end, Teacher Bok-soon, who had said a few words, complained that she had no strength and couldn't get up.

Teacher Bok-soon, who looked like her whole body was aching, staggered into the bathroom and came out after washing.

After we both got dressed, as we left the hotel, an awkward silence fell between us for a moment.

As we stood in front of the hotel, Teacher Bok-soon spoke first.

"You wouldn't go around talking about this kind of thing recklessly, would you?"

"Of course not."

Even if it were on Earth, I wouldn't have anyone to share dirty jokes with here.

"From now on, always act like that. When you debut, don't mess around with it. If a controversy arises, you could be ruined. You'll be strictly managed by the company."

"Wow, are you saying you enjoyed everything and won't give other women a chance?"

"Wh-what? Don't talk nonsense! This is the first and last time."

If you've never tasted it, that's one thing, but once you know the taste, quitting is impossible.

"Let's think of it as a good memory for both of us."

I grabbed Teacher Bok-soon butt and squeezed it.

"Ah! Wh-why do you keep touching my butt since yesterday?! What if someone sees?"

"It's early, so no one is around. You were so playful last night and now you're acting prim in the morning, it's annoying, so I was going to spank you. But I thought it would be more of a reward than a punishment."

"Tsk!"

"I understood what you were trying to say, so don't worry. You mean this is the first and last personal meeting, right?"

"…Yes. It's right for us to end it here. It's all for your sake, so don't be too disappointed. You have to be careful since you'll debut soon. If there are other women, hurry up and clean things up. It would be unfair and a waste if you get disqualified from debuting because of something like this."

Teacher Bok-soon was trying to cut off our relationship, comforting me like a child.

It's really annoying.

Next time, I'll spank her until her butt turns red to make her come to her senses.

"I understand. You don't need to lecture me like a child. From now on, I'll only treat you as a vocal teacher."

"Huh? Uh, yeah."

Her face says, "This isn't right."

She must feel uncomfortable.

Unlike what I thought, I came out too cool, so she must feel awkward.

Maybe she imagined me clinging to her.

Of course, that's nonsense.

Why would I cling to her?

With this face, this body,

As the proud owner of a magnificent member, it's impossible for me to lower my pride for one woman.

"From now on, you have to teach me to sing well, right, Teacher Rose?"

"Of course."

"Haha, then I'll go first. My clothes are wrinkled, so I need to stop by home before going to the company."

"Wait, I'll take you."

Teacher Rose tried to stop me urgently, but I won't let her.

"It's okay. I can take a taxi. See you later~"

Since it was in front of the hotel, even though it was morning, there was a taxi waiting, so I could get in right away.

Looking out the window, I saw Teacher Rose staring at me.

She's trying to let me go with a face full of regret.

Isn't that really annoying?

I don't know how long I can hold out, but I decided to look forward to the future.

'If you hadn't tasted it even once, that would be one thing.'

Can she really forget the taste of me, whom she has already enjoyed?

It's not for nothing that Joo-ah, who was a virgin, keeps sending me messages asking to meet every day.

Until Teacher Rose regrets it deeply and begs me to spank her butt,

I vowed not to show her my member.

••••••••°°°°°••••••°°°°°•••••

"Hey hey hey hey hey! Big news! Big news!!"

"Wh-what??"

"Jaehoon left the company!!!!"

"No way!"

"Really?"

"Where did you hear that?"

"I overheard the manager and the chief talking. It's not a lie."

"Wow, shit. That's messed up."

Since the last time they took the trainees to take profile pictures, the atmosphere of the debut group has been really bad.

There was a rumor that the number of members for the new male idol group launching this time might be set at five.

It seems that the so-called 'weeding out' has begun in earnest.

"But the month-end evaluation is still left. What's with the sudden resignation?"

"You idiot, do you think that would change anything? It seems like they're trying to stir things up, but it won't work, so they ran away."

"It's already decided who the members are, for sure."

"I thought there would be at least eight members, but only five?"

"It's shocking. Really."

"What do we do now?"

"We have to be prepared to waste a few more years, or transfer to another company."

"Ah… I don't have confidence. Really, is it going to end like this without doing anything?"

This month-end evaluation.

Everyone was grinding their teeth and preparing hard.

They thought that if they showed a good performance in the month-end evaluation, they would have a chance to debut.

But when they heard that a trainee had defected, everyone seemed to feel a sense of emptiness.

It seemed like they were afraid they would end up following the same path as Reahoon.

"..."

"..."

In this atmosphere, we, who have to prepare for the month-end evaluation together, couldn't help but talk less.

We couldn't easily comfort those who were despairing, nor could we be happy.

Woo-yeon, who is friendly with all the trainees, seemed to feel bad and tried to approach the despairing trainees.

I pulled Woo-yeon's hoodie to stop him from getting too close.

"Don't do it."

"But…."

"It might make them feel worse. It's best to just keep quiet."

"Yeah, I think Hae-sol is right too."

Even the usually quiet Jackie spoke up, so Woo-yeon had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

'The atmosphere is completely ruined.'

Jaehoon, who seemed to have the most fragile mental state, declared his escape.

They could have endured and made a decision after the month-end evaluation, but they didn't.

The mentality of the trainees preparing for the month-end evaluation was shattered.

They were filled with despair, thinking they would end up like Reahoon, so they couldn't practice properly.

"Why aren't you practicing and just standing around?!"

That's when the manager chief entered the practice room.

"Huh!"

To the trainees, the manager chief was scarier than a tiger.

"The month-end evaluation is only a week away, and you're resting like this? You're slacking off. If there's anyone here who thinks they've already mastered everything and is perfect, raise your hand. I'll exempt you."

"...."

"...."

Of course, no one raised their hand.

The manager chief, who we thought would just scold us and leave, came into the practice room and gathered us.

"You must have heard rumors from here and there, so you probably know a little bit. The higher-ups have started putting together a list of potential debut members. We know you're anxious. But don't be shaken and prepare hard for the month-end evaluation."

"What's the point of the month-end evaluation now? You said the candidates have already been confirmed."

"That's really too much."

"That's right! Shouldn't debuts be based on skill? Why did you tell us to work hard if it was going to end up like this?"

The kids who were on the verge of missing their debut were brave.

Although they had been suppressing their complaints, once it became clear that I was in the debut group, they all started expressing their pent-up frustrations.

"Why are you suddenly talking about skill? And how many people in the entertainment industry succeed without skill? Besides, we never said it was confirmed. We said we have a list of candidates!"

"Then why did you take profile pictures?"

"We heard Jaehoon left the company."

Surprised by the unexpected backlash from the trainees, the manager chief sighed and raised his voice.

"The debut members can change at any time. If you're so shaken by such a small thing that you want to quit, I'll let you go right now. We can't work with such weak people."

"!!"

When the manager chief spoke sternly, the trainees who had been chattering stepped back in surprise.

Their complaints had built up because of the anxiety of not being able to debut, so when he told them to leave, they couldn't handle it.

'He's good at handling them. They can't think straight because of the rumors.'

Watching the manager chief handle the trainee kids, who have been through so much, was just sad.

Since they're still kids, they're easy to handle.

Some of them even cry, so what can you do?

They rebelled because they wanted to debut, but in the end, their true feelings were that they wanted a chance to debut too.

'It's not just a year or two of suffering, so they can't help it. Oh, it's so pitiful. I hope everything works out for them.'

Even though I'm called a brother, as a 30-something-year-old man with a conscience, it's inevitably sad to have to step on these kids to debut.

'But what can I do? I have to make a living too. If I can't debut as an idol, I'll be discarded, so I can't make any concessions.'

Even though I feel sorry and pitiful, I know the cold reality, so while I empathize with their tears, I have no intention of doing anything about it.

Woo-yeon was already crying along with the trainees.

'Even though he's crying, he hasn't said a word about giving up his spot.'

That's reality.

Just because we step on these kids to debut doesn't mean we'll become stars.

"You guys are misunderstanding something. You think the month-end evaluation isn't important, but it's not.

"Sniff…! You're lying."

"I'm not lying, you idiot! Have you been deceived your whole life? For you guys, this month-end evaluation is like the college entrance exam. We'll decide then whether to set the number at five or add more members."

"Huh?"

"!!!!!!"

"Re-really?"

"Wow!"

The kids who had been sniffling were filled with hope and miracle.

From my perspective, the addition of more members was a threat.

So my expression darkened slightly.

"That's right! The CEO will be there that day. Do you understand how important this evaluation is now?"

"We, we have to practice!"

"That's the spirit. Crying now won't help your future. Just practice like crazy. I've been with you guys for a while, so I wouldn't lie about this."

"Wow! Chief!!! Thank you!!!"

What a quick change of attitude.

"Then why did Jaehoon resign?"

With the month-end evaluation still a possibility, Jaehoon's resignation doesn't make sense.

Did he resign because he didn't know this news?

Just as the trainees' expressions were about to become complex and subtle, the manager chief spoke.

"You guys are really quick to hear news. That's why they say what you say during the day, the birds hear, and what you say at night, the mice hear."

"Hehe."

"I told Jaehoon everything I just said to you. But he still decided to resign. I wasn't going to say this, but I had to explain it to you guys because I tried to convince Jaehoon."

No one knew that the CEO would be attending the month-end evaluation.

But to convince Jaehoon, who suddenly wanted to resign, they had to talk about the month-end evaluation, and for a fair evaluation, they had to notify the other trainees as well.

If Jaehoon left and only told his close friends the information, the month-end evaluation wouldn't be fair.

"We ended up benefiting from Jaehoon situation."

"That's right. When Jaehoon comes, comfort him well. He must have suffered a lot before giving up."

""Yes….""

The trainees, who got good information because of Jaehoon's resignation, looked brighter.

But because of Jaehoon resignation, they couldn't be truly happy.
