When I Opened My Eyes I Was a Superstar - Chapter 56

# 56

LAST CHANCE (2)

Among the four groups from group 1 to group 4, KK’s team was in group 3. Group 3 was provided with light blue training clothes. Taehyung Park came next to Dowook, who was rolling up the sleeves of his light blue training suit.

“Do-wook… do more warm-up exercises. “That way you won’t get hurt.”

Do-wook smiled and replied that he understood what Tae-hyung Park said. Then he sat down and stood up three or four more times.

The official name of today’s program is ‘Lunar New Year Special Idol Olympics’.

After seeing the response to the ambitious holiday pilot program prepared by MVS Broadcasting Station, we planned to solidify it as a holiday special program.

‘Of course, the first broadcast aroused a lot of attention and is the program that will most definitely take its place among the holiday special entertainment shows. Later on, the format was boring and there were too many problems, so there were a series of requests for its abolition…’

This time, Do-wook thought as he extended his arm out to the other side. Fans at Dowook’s fan stand were capturing every single scene of Dowook’s long limbs moving flexibly on camera.

In fact, ‘Idol Olympics’ was a program where there were so many participants that broadcast appearances were meaningless, the schedule required an entire day off, and there was a risk of injury.

Celebrities and agencies increasingly expressed their disapproval. There was also considerable backlash from fans who had to call themselves spectators all day without any allowance.

However, the broadcasting station was superior. When pressure is applied through music broadcasts or other entertainment programs, I have become a professional who has no choice but to participate.

Also, since it is in a position to continue to nurture new talent, it is also a program that can somehow insert new talent, so it cried and let out its own celebrity.

‘In any case, it is clear that this is an opportunity to make an impression on the public even during the Lunar New Year holiday, when it is difficult to be active.’

Among today’s sports, KK is participating in a total of 5 sports.

It was a long jump, archery and futsal relay.

Do-wook Jeong was scheduled to participate in the long jump, Jung Yoon-gi and Do-wook were scheduled to participate in the 100m race, all members except Seok Ji-hoon were scheduled to participate in the relay, Ahn Hyeong-seo and Park Tae-hyung were scheduled to participate in futsal, and Kim Won was scheduled to participate in archery.

Do-wook, who has good athletic ability and exercised a lot, participated in the long jump and 100m relay. I participated in 3 events.

“You play futsal in a different stadium?”

“Ugh… I don’t think I’ll be able to cheer for Won’s archery finals due to the time conflict.”

Kim Won and Ahn Hyeong-seo were providing fan service by going to the front of the fans’ seats and kissing each other’s hands.

Kim Won, who said it was his first time holding a bow, showed amazing concentration and grip strength, scoring 9 points in just a few practices, and then scoring 10 points in the preliminaries, advancing to the finals as first place in the group preliminaries.

The skill surprised not only the MCs sitting in the broadcast box but also a former national archery player who made a special appearance to help.

“I’ll cheer from here, and after my brother’s game ends, I’ll go straight to cheer on the futsal team.”

“okay.”

At that time, an announcement was made that the long jump competition would soon begin.

Participants who were spread out here and there flocked to the place where the long jump competition was taking place. Seok Ji-hoon and Jeong Yoon-gi, who had been sitting there bruised and exhausted from the recording that started at 8 a.m., also stood up. It was already 5 o’clock in the evening.

“Do-wook, do well and come back.”

Jeong Yoon-gi yawned and gave a cheering cheer. On the other hand, Ahn Hyeong-seo and Kim Won, who came from afar, were even ready to sing cheering songs.

Dowook smiled awkwardly at the temperature difference between the members and went to the front of the prepared long jump stadium.

There were about 20 participants in the long jump, and it was straight into the finals without any preliminaries. In each group, there were tall members and members who were slightly shorter but had good elasticity.

After finding out that he would be participating in the long jump, Dowook watched videos of the athletes in his spare time and even practiced on the track a few times.

Dowook’s order is number 14. As a result of practicing during break time, I was able to easily run about 5 meters. Although he didn’t necessarily have to take first place, Do-wook entered the game with the thought that it would be nice to get first place.

Dowook’s average record up to the front turn was in the late 4m range. However, the highest record was 5m 15cm.

After measuring 13 records, it was Dowook’s turn. As Dowook stepped forward, the cheering in the stadium grew louder as if a loudspeaker had been used.

“Handsome!”

“Going Kang Do-wook!”

When I turned my head towards the place where I heard a particularly loud noise, there were two banners fluttering there.

‘Facial genius is made of 99% good looks and 1% tears. -Doukmari toilet paper group-‘

‘I support the face genius Kang Do-wook.’

Dowook read the banner text and laughed. And with the whistle sounding to start, I lightly took my feet off the ground.

Do-wook, who ran at full speed, stamped his feet accurately on the cloud board. He wasn’t even clenching his teeth, he just had a calm expression. Dowook literally soared.

From rolling on the clouds to flying up and landing. All postures were accurate like the pictures in the textbook.

At the moment of landing, cheers erupted from the cheering crowd who were holding their breath. The members watching from the side also clapped.

“What a clean posture!”

The commentator at the broadcast box exclaimed in admiration.

Dowook’s record is 5m 14cm. Although the record was 1cm short of the best record, it was a good enough save. Do-wook was the first among the members to wear a medal. It was a silver medal.

The next games after the long jump were archery and futsal. When the archery finals were in full swing, futsal participants had to head to the futsal stadium right next door.

The archery match held in a tournament format was truly thrilling. One step at a time. Every time Kim Won pulled the bowstring, Do-wook, Jeong Yoon-gi, and Seok Ji-hoon, who were watching, were also overcome by an unknown sense of tension.

Even though the Olympics were nothing more than entertainment, despite the injuries, the KK members were able to participate wholeheartedly once the competition started.

Kim Won was the favorite to win the archery competition. Without any major upsets, Kim Won advanced to the 1st and 2nd place match.

“Oh my gosh!”

The other person was a male solo singer from Cheongwol Communications. Kim Won touched his forehead while looking at the arrow’s trajectory. As Kim Won expected, the arrow he shot hit exactly 10 points.

As a result, the score difference between Kim Won and the male solo singer is only 1 point. It would be divided by one last shot.

In terms of physical strength, male solo singers could be seen as having a slight advantage.

“Whoa…”

However, Kim Won was almost a monster when it came to concentration. Kim Won took a deep breath and glared at the target.

It was Kim Won, who always gave a joke next to the members with a playful expression. Fans in the cheering stands once again ‘devoted’ to Kim Won in real time, whispering about his serious appearance for the first time.

“10(ten)!”

“9(nine)!”

The arrow shot by Kim Won hit 10 points, and the arrow shot by a male solo singer hit 9 points.

Kim Won, who put down his bow, ran over and hugged the members.

“Wow, shouldn’t you be a real archer?”

It was such an amazing skill that even Jeong Yoon-gi, who is usually not very surprised, made a fuss. Dowook also looked at Kim Won with eyes of wonder. Kim Won scratched the back of his head and joked.

“Isn’t it too late now?”

Everyone shook their heads and laughed at those words.

Even Kim Won won a gold medal, and KK won two medals.

“I’m still playing for the futsal team in general. “Let’s go quickly.”

Jung Yoon-gi led the members out of the stadium.

“I already have two medals.”

“If we win the 100 meters and the relay later… then the group we are in will win, right?”

“Because I didn’t do anything.”

“You cheered. So cheer harder.”

The futsal stadium was connected to the main stadium and a waiting room hallway. Jeong Yoon-ki and Seok Ji-hoon had a conversation while walking down a hallway that was closed off to everyone except participants and staff.

Kim Won hummed. Although we were tired, everyone was in a good mood after winning medals one after another. Dowook also thought that since he was participating in the program anyway, he might as well enjoy it.

“Huh?… Oh, Chief?”

Seok Ji-hoon spotted Manager Oh Baek-ho standing at the door of the stadium and tilted his head.

It was a noisy time as the futsal game was in full swing, but the inside of the stadium was relatively quiet. The game was suspended.

Oh Baek-ho’s expression at first glance was also unusual. The members’ steps became faster.

When I entered the futsal stadium, the filming crew, including Oh Baek-ho, was gathered right in front of the door.

In the back, I saw Ahn Hyeong-seo sitting on the floor receiving treatment from the medical staff, and Park Tae-hyung standing restlessly next to him.

Oh Baek-ho was having a serious conversation with the staff, so Do-wook and other members went to Ahn Hyeong-seo a month later.

“Hyungseo!”

“What’s happening?”

As I entered the stadium, I could clearly see that the atmosphere was tense. The murmurs of fans worried about Ahn Hyeong-seo could be clearly heard coming from the fan seats.

“Is everything already finished?”

“you! are you okay?!”

Jeong Yoon-gi and Ahn Hyeong-seo usually bickered, but when he saw Ahn Hyeong-seo sitting and applying ice to his legs, Jeong Yoon-gi’s expression hardened. It was the image of an older brother worrying about his younger brother.

Along with the other members, Dowook also frowned.

“Oh, it’s so touching to see everyone’s concern~!”

“Is it time for jokes?”

As Jeong Yoon-gi looked at him with a straight face, Ahn Hyeong-seo cleared his throat. However, he soon apologized to Ahn Hyeong-seo, saying he was sorry because he thought he had gone too far out of concern. Taehyung Park explained the situation instead.

“H… Hyungseo was tackled while running with the ball”

“Oh my God! tackle? who!!!”

When Kim Won excitedly intercepted Park Taehyung’s words, Ahn Hyeongseo waved his hand.

“no! “I didn’t get hurt during the tackle, but I lost my strength and fell afterward.”

“Yes… that’s it…”

Park Tae-hyung agreed with Ahn Hyeong-seo’s answer with a puzzled expression. Taehyung Park, who was playing next to him, saw that the tackle had been cleverly aimed at his Achilles tendon. Dowook asked calmly.

“Who tackled it?”

“That… man to man Seojun.”

“It was just a situation worth tackling.”

Ahn Hyeong-seo seemed like he would cause an uproar if he even cut his finger on a piece of paper, but when it came to the situation where everyone was worried, he looked dignified. Hyungseo Ahn explained to the excited members.

Of course it would have been so. However, the members who had no one to blame wanted to blame Seojun.

Dowook’s thoughts were a little different. Do-wook looked around and found Seo Kang-jun among the other participants who were resting due to the game being suspended. At that moment, I made eye contact with Seo Kang-jun, who was looking in this direction.

‘If it’s Seo Kang-jun….’

Seo Kang-jun smiled at Do-wook, who was single, unlike when he usually met him, wondering what made him feel good. Dowook felt a chill down his spine.

‘It is certainly. ‘I tackled him hard on purpose.’

Dowook clenched his fists. When the game did not go as expected by Do-wook, Seo Kang-jun, who was unable to overcome his frustration, maliciously tackled Ahn Hyeong-seo, who was driving the ball, in an attempt to scare him.

The game was a game, but I also wanted to vent my anger at having the Rookie of the Year award stolen from KK. Seo Kang-Jun truly felt that he had been robbed of the Rookie of the Year award that should have been his.

Seo Kang-jun’s tackle only grazed Ahn Hyeong-seo’s leg cleverly and seemed like a legitimate tackle aimed at the ball. So it wasn’t a foul.

Ahn Hyeong-seo, who fell briefly due to a tackle, got up immediately. However, just passing by the end was quite painful. Ahn Hyeong-seo ran a little further and ended up falling and breaking his leg.

He wanted to run to Seo Kang-jun and punch him right away, but Do-wook bit his lip tightly.

‘It is difficult to change or protect the future that we did not know about in our previous lives. I can’t know everything….’

Do-wook, who was blaming himself for a moment because he felt like it was his own shortcomings for not being able to prevent Ahn Hyeong-seo’s injury, shook his head. From the beginning, I didn’t think I could change or stop everything. No matter how much Do-wook tries to stop it, Seo Kang-jun’s personal evil nature will not change.

Do-wook turned his head, ignoring Seo Kang-jun, who was smiling.

‘Let’s see how long you can smile. ‘Because you will fall to the point where there is nowhere else to fall.’

After finishing talking with the filming crew, Oh Baek-ho approached the gathered members. Fortunately, it didn’t seem to be a serious injury, but I nodded when the medical staff told me to undergo a thorough examination.

“You guys can do well together, right? “Rahee will probably remain.”

“It’s not like we are the same. “Take him to the hospital right away, bro.”

Oh Baek-ho, who tapped Jeong Yoon-gi on the shoulder, helped Ahn Hyeong-seo up with the medical staff. The people watching were excited and sounded worried. Ahn Hyeong-seo headed to the hospital like that.

Despite this situation, Park Tae-hyung had to continue playing. The game resumed with another player who was on standby entering the line.

The final highlight of today’s program recording was the relay race.

In the relay race, which was conducted as a team match rather than a group match, a big match was prepared, a match between man-to-man and KK rookies.
