Bom Baram was waiting for her turn in her private waiting room for quite a while.
The TV inside was broadcasting the stage live, and on it, a girl who looked like she was holding a peach slowly walked up.
“Ha, Han Ga-eul!”
Without realizing it, Bom Baram shot up from her seat, grinding her teeth.
That crazy bitch who kept getting in her way.
What the hell was she even doing? Even the so-called fans were collectively insane.
After that incident, no matter what show she went on, Han Ga-eul’s fans would swarm in and cause all sorts of chaos.
It got so unbearable that she once threw a fit at the agency, demanding they do something about it.
Thanks to that, the agency’s legal team jumped into action, but they couldn’t even catch a tail, let alone file a lawsuit.
Even the experts were left speechless by their skill at twisting words.
They used every possible double entendre, and just reading the comments they left was enough to make her head spin.
“Argh! That damn bitch! How did I even get to this position!!”
Bom Baram, who was screaming in frustration, was a singer who had achieved massive success at a young age.
Where there are people, there’s bound to be corruption, and the big agency was even more rotten than Bom Baram had thought.
Still, she endured all sorts of humiliation, believing that if she could swim through that filth, she’d eventually see the light.
“But… but! What the hell is that bitch doing!!”
The so-called fans were insane, and that pink-haired bitch was even crazier.
She smoked cigarettes like crazy and hurled insults at her fans.
Cigarettes? Bom Baram knew that if even a whiff of smoke got on her clothes, the tabloids would be all over her.
Bom Baram screamed in frustration until she was exhausted, then stared blankly at the TV.
At some point, her least favorite color in the world had become pink.
That woman with the pink hair, wearing a hanbok, stepped onto the stage and began to sing.
Bom Baram needed to know why.
Why was she so loved?
What made her monopolize all that affection?
Bom Baram rushed out of the waiting room.
─Click! Click! Click!
She didn’t even notice if her high heels were breaking or if her ankles were in pain.
She just ran, desperate to find out the reason.
She ran down the path leading to the back of the stage and arrived behind the audience, where Han Ga-eul’s voice could be heard.
『Shall I paint your burns with the rotten tears of soy sauce─』
Han Ga-eul was singing something that was either a poem or a song.
Looking around, the audience was shedding tears like chicken droppings.
‘What the hell is that…’
Standing there in a daze, the song seeped into her ears.
Han Ga-eul on stage was furious.
She was in despair.
She slowly waved her hands, even mixing in some dance moves.
Han Ga-eul was crying too.
It was truly a heavenly voice.
Just listening to the song made her ears feel happy.
Bom Baram had received high-level training.
None of her trainers had ever conveyed emotions like that.
It’s done.
It’s out of this world.
I didn’t even dare to think of following along.
If there were a celestial fairy, she wouldn’t have been like that.
As the song ended, she smiled brightly with a flushed face.
It was a pure smile, without a single flaw. A bright, unadorned smile.
Seeing that, the audience went wild.
It was different from the smile she gave to the camera.
No, it was wrong.
It was different from the emotions she showed to her fans.
No, it was wrong.
“I can do it too… I can do it too…”
There are people who just do internet broadcasts with nothing, so why can’t I?
‘I can do it.’
Bom Baram pushed up the corners of her mouth with her fingers and tried to smile.
‘I can do it.’
─Wow!!
Bom Baram was startled and snapped out of her thoughts.
─Encore! Encore!
“Oh dear, an encore?”
─Encore!! Encore!!
“I don’t have anything prepared, just a moment.”
Han Ga-eul went to the side of the stage, talked with the staff, nodded, and came back.
“Are you ready!?”
─Wahh!!
As Han Ga-eul on stage gave a signal to the staff, music started playing.
A cute, bouncy melody.
A song that sounded familiar, like I’d heard it somewhere before.
“Little bunny, bunny, where are you going♬”
‘Is she really singing that? On stage??’
Bom Baram, watching from behind, widened her eyes in shock.
‘Is she in her right mind…?’
This performance was no joke, and they were even filming it.
In just a moment, sparks would fly from the eyes of the audience.
The audience is more critical than anyone.
But the situation unfolded completely differently from what Bom Baram expected.
The audience’s heads started to sway slightly.
Wondering what was going on, I looked at the stage, and there it was swaying too.
“It’s swaying.”
I blurted out without realizing, but no one paid attention.
“Hop, hop, where are you going♡”
It’s shaking.
‘That… shameless girl!’
It’s wobbling.
‘I can do it too…’
“Ah, that’s really the end. See you next time. Bye-bye.”
With that jaw-dropping closing remark, the audience’s faces were bound to frown this time.
There’s definitely such a thing as stage manners.
─Wow! Bye-bye!
‘Damn, “bye-bye”? Not even kids say “bye-bye”!’
Is it just about being carefree?
Bom Baram’s mind was utterly tangled.

Popular singer Bom Baram appeared on the street with a cigarette in her mouth. She shook her chest while holding the cigarette, leaving the gathered fans utterly bewildered…
The fans remained eerily silent…
It turned out it wasn’t a cigarette but a vitamin stick, causing quite a stir…
───
“What’s she doing? Is she crazy?”
[⚔️LOLOLOLOLOL]
[⚔️This is freaking hilarious LOLOLOL]
When the staff asked to check the Cosmos satellite internet speed, I randomly clicked on an article, and it was about Bom Baram doing weird stuff.
“Guys, any lag or buffering?”
[⚔️Super smooth]
[⚔️Feels amazing]
“Performance is solid.”
[⚔️For real LOL]
Sitting at the bow, I looked outside as the ship broke through the waves, steadily moving forward.
When I first boarded, I asked why the ship was so big, and they said over a thousand people were on board.
I thought it’d be around a hundred at most, but seriously, what were they thinking? The number of participants is way too high.
[⚔️We’re just watching from the room, but isn’t the Room Master exhausted?]
“I’m fine because of you guys.”
[⚔️He’s being cheeky again]
[⚔️LOLOLOL]
The endless blue sea stretched out before us.
No matter how far we go, it’s just the sea.
If it weren’t for the viewers, I might’ve died of boredom.
“We still have another day to go.”
[⚔️LOLOL we’ve been sailing all day and still have another day left]
[⚔️I would’ve given up by now]
Originally, we were supposed to depart from Ecuador, but due to poor security, we ended up starting from the opposite side, causing this mess.
「We’re traveling from Papua New Guinea, passing through Brisbane, Australia, then disembarking in New Caledonia before boarding another ship to travel 3,000 kilometers.」
Everyone went crazy when the staff dropped that line yesterday.
If we’re going back, it should be reasonable.
As protests kept pouring in, the staff broke into a cold sweat and tried to explain.
They said it’s difficult to move so many people across countries at once, and there are also maritime conflicts involved. After hearing the explanation, everyone seemed to accept it reluctantly.
─Click, click.
“Ugh, it’s so noisy.”
The vast majority of people on the ship are men.
There are a few women here and there, but they’re almost wiped out.
Because of this, problems keep arising.
After moving these energetic men around for days, now they’re stuck on the ship all day.
Since they’ve all passed physical tests and are strong, it’s even noisier.
“Aren’t you guys tired of looking at the sea? Pretty things are nice once or twice, but now it’s just annoying.”
[⚔️Nah? We’re happy just looking at the Room Master’s face?]
[⚔️For real LOL]
[⚔️So fun]
[⚔️It’s awesome to travel the world while sitting in my room]
“Phew, glad to hear that.”
Baekseol, being a water-loving rabbit, seems to really enjoy the sea.
By now, it should be nap time, but she’s just staring blankly at the sea.
The crashing waves…
I don’t get what’s so fun about the white foam I spat out.
“Amazing?”
“Yes.”
“You saw it a lot at the deck party too.”
“High!”
“Ah, the ship was too high, so you couldn’t see it.”
“Yes!”
Smoking a cigarette in the vast ocean does have its charm.
“Hey. Staff!”
The surroundings are noisy again.
Incidents and accidents are nothing new, but now they’re just tiresome.
What did the staff, who are always cleaning up after, do to deserve this?
As I exhale cigarette smoke and look back, a muscular man is dragging the staff towards me.
Even Cheol would have to step back; this guy is all muscle.
I don’t get why he always wears that tank top.
“Look at that!”
“Mr. Paul, let go and speak.”
“No, look at that! Is that even allowed?”
The muscular man’s finger is pointing at me.
“Me?”
“Is a pet allowed? There was no mention of that. Why is there emergency food on your head…?”
Thud!
Ugh!
“Gah!”
“What did you say?”
I kick off the ground and strike his knee, bringing his face closer.
Thud… thud!
“Gah!”
“What did you say?”
I grab his neck, and veins pop out.
Thud!
“Gah! Gah!”
“Speak, you bastard.”
Paul, who seemed to have a lot to say, just grabs my wrist and struggles.
Guess he has nothing to say.
[⚔️Teacher, if you hold someone’s neck like that, no one can speak…]
[⚔️Wow, he’s overpowering that big guy]
Thud!
The whites of his eyes are growing, and his eyeballs are starting to bulge.
“W-wait! Hold on!”
“What.”
The staff runs over with a shocked face.
“Ugh…!”
“Ahhh! Someone’s dying, please!”
“I’ll just kill him.”
The staff’s face turns pale at my words.
“Th-there will be consequences! Let go!”
“Only consequences? Your life is cheap. I’ll just kill him.”
Thud!
“Ugh…!”
“Only I can mess with my kids.”
[⚔️Ahhh! The room master is causing trouble again!!!]
[⚔️Super— emergency!!!]
