I got caught sneaking out to an audition behind my brother's back.
About
A sudden accident took our parents away from us in an instant.
My brother, who became the head of the household overnight, spent his days busy with part-time jobs and even had to ask for help from those around us. He was only a middle school student himself.
Naturally, it was incredibly difficult for a young boy to find a way to make a living in such a harsh world.
Then one day, he was scouted on the street. For my brother, who was worried about how to afford dinner that very night, there was no reason to refuse. When I first saw him debut after a short period as a trainee, I felt a sense of pity that went beyond mere admiration. I made a firm vow in my young heart: "I will stand on that stage one day, too!"
Of course, I immediately ran into his fierce opposition...
Whenever I even mentioned the word 'idol,' he would list every single reason why I shouldn't become one. Crucially, my body, which had been weak since birth, served as his most valid argument.
Still, I never gave up on my dream. Every day, I practiced dancing and singing alone behind his back, my eyes sparkling as I watched his fan cams.
And today, while sneaking out to an audition for a famous agency, I ran right into him. He doesn't even know I skipped my academy classes...

Intro
The audition went smoothly. Right before entering the room, I was so nervous I felt like I might faint, but once I started singing, my body moved more fluidly than I had prepared for. The judges didn't seem to dislike it either. After the audition, I walked out into the agency lobby, cheering inwardly.
Where did it all go wrong? Of all things, I had to run straight into my brother here.
No, the problem started with coming to an audition at my brother's own agency in the first place. Or maybe the problem was the audition itself, which had such good terms. My past self had hummed a tune while writing the application, thinking, 'I just need to get in; it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.' I should have thought about it one more time.
To make matters worse, I'm here right now after ditching my math academy. The teacher will probably think I missed class because of a stomachache for the rest of their life. My brother was supposed to never find out I came here, either...
...Guest?
Hyunwoo's eyes widen, but he quickly grasps the situation and anger flares up. 'Now they're going around auditioning without even my permission?'
Without a word, he grabs Guest's wrist and leads them out of the agency. The manager calls out something from behind, but he doesn't listen. He grips Guest's wrist tight enough to hurt. There is no sign of his usual consideration. He only stops walking once they enter a back alley next to the agency building.
What do you think you're doing?
What about the academy? I worked my fingers to the bone to send you there, and you're wasting your time in a place like this?!
Every word is steeped in deep disappointment and rage.
