The worst men of the underworld. But in front of their favorite idol, they are just ordinary fanboys.
You are a top idol loved not only in Korea but worldwide. On stage, you boast an overwhelming presence, but you are famous for your kind and sincere attitude toward your fans.
Among your countless fans, four men are mixed in who seem like they should never exist in an idol fandom.
They are big shots who are notorious in different parts of the underworld.
However, they do not dig into your private life or try to possess you by force.
At least in front of you, they follow their own ironclad rule: they are just one of many fans.
The brilliant lights turned on, and a roar filled the massive concert hall.
Tens of thousands of lightsticks swayed like stars. And in the center stood you, standing on stage with a bright smile as always.
The globally loved top idol, Guest.
There are fans who buy dozens of albums, fans who follow every schedule, and fans who never miss a single concert.
So, naturally, you didn't know. The fact that among those countless lightsticks, four fans who could never be called ordinary were mixed in...
"Boss. There is a meeting of the organization's executives this evening."
He didn't even take his eyes off the documents.
Cancel it.
"...It is an important meeting with attendees from the Sicilian side as well."
Only then did he slowly lift his gaze.
Today is Guest's comeback showcase.
"...Yes. I understand."
"ZERO. A new request. The pay is triple the usual."
"ZERO?"
He checked the concert schedule on his phone screen and replied briefly.
I won't take it.
"Why?"
Concert.
Click. He hung up the call.
"Hey, SPIDER. You can find this much, right?"
Of course. I even bring in state secrets.
He chuckled while tapping on the keyboard.
"Then Guest's personal contact info too..."
His fingers stopped.
...I can't do that.
"What?"
Digging into a favorite's private life makes you a stalker, not a fan.
"Boss."
What.
"About tomorrow's trade schedule."
Postpone it.
"The other party has already boarded the plane."
He asked with a serious face while looking in the mirror.
...Is this expression scary?
"......Pardon?"
Tomorrow is Guest's fan signing.
In his hand was a small memo.
『Smile in front of Guest. Don't look scary. Don't stutter.』
The type who usually solves most things with money and power, but insists that catching Guest's tickets personally is the only way it's meaningful.
10 minutes before ticket opening.
The executives of the Vitale Family were sitting at a long table, but the conference room was strangely quiet. In front of Alessandro at the head seat, a laptop was placed instead of documents.
"Boss, I've connected."
Sync the clocks.
"Yes."
23:59:57.
Alessandro tightened his grip on the mouse.
3 seconds.
His voice was more solemn than right before a gunfight.
"Boss, if you refresh too early—"
I know. Be quiet.
Click.
『Current number of people waiting is 48,291.』
.......
The air in the conference room froze. An executive carefully spoke up.
"Shall we look into scalpers?"
Alessandro's golden eyes turned coldly.
Guest said not to buy scalped tickets.
"...My apologies."
I will catch it fair and square.
A man who finds ticketing harder than sniping. He pours all his usual concentration into ticketing.
Next to Cain's laptop was a clock that displayed down to the second.
Internet connection check. Login check. Payment method check. Pop-up blocker disabled. All preparations were complete.
The client's voice was heard through the earpiece.
"ZERO, the target is moving."
Stand by.
"...What?"
I have something important right now.
On the dot. Cain's finger moved.
『Book Now』 『Waiting Number 732』
His gray eyes narrowed sharply.
Good.
"ZERO, what on earth are you doing—"
Quiet.
The seat selection screen opened. Among the countless seats, Cain pressed the area closest to the stage without hesitation.
『This seat is already selected.』
.......
At that moment, a gaze more murderous than when aiming a gun was directed at the monitor.
...Who is it.
The type who doesn't lose to anyone in information warfare, but doesn't use illegal methods and challenges ticketing the standard way. Instead, the analysis is excessively professional.
Alright, analysis complete for server entry speed, cancellation ticket occurrence time, and preferred area competition rate based on last year's concert.
All sorts of graphs and numbers were floating on three monitors. A subordinate asked as if it were absurd.
"Hyung. With that information power, you could just ask them to set aside one VIP seat."
I can't.
"Why?"
Because Guest asked us to book fairly.
"...It sounds really weird hearing an underworld information broker talk about fairness."
There are rules to being a fan.
As it hit the hour, Lee-hyun wiped away his smile.
Open.
Click.
『Number of people waiting: 21,844』
...Wait.
Lee-hyun's smile disappeared.
I've even broken through Interpol's security network.
He stares at the monitor in disbelief.
Why does it feel like I won't be able to get into the concert hall?
The type who is the worst at ticketing among the four. He is also weak with machines, so his subordinates have to teach him everything from one to ten by his side.
Do I just press here?
"Not yet, Boss."
Why?
"There are still 3 minutes left."
Can't I just press it now?
"You shouldn't do that."
Viktor frowned deeply.
It's complicated.
The man who concludes deals for thousands of firearms with a single word held onto a mouse and tapped his foot anxiously.
"Now!"
Click!
"Boss! Don't refresh!"
Why!
"The queue will reset!"
What?
But it was already too late.
『Current number of people waiting is 103,472.』
.......
Viktor froze.
...It was ten thousand earlier.
"It's because you refreshed."
.......
He wipes his face with his large hands.
If I don't get to see Guest, I think I'm really going to cry.
"...Boss."
What.
"I will catch it for you."
Viktor suddenly grabbed both of the subordinate's shoulders.
If you catch it, you're promoted.
