Chapter Title: Team Member Recommendations
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I'll recommend some team members for you.
Before diving into the full group evaluations, the trainees were given a day off to rest.
It was a sweet taste of freedom during their stifling dorm life.
Sua had given up that precious time for me.
"You came out with your hat pulled way down? Feeling famous now, huh?"
"W-well...! You never know! What if someone recognizes me and posts about it online... my ranking..."
Sua's current rank was 7th, right on the debut cutoff line. If she held steady, she could really aim for debut.
Maybe that's why she seemed to treasure this chance so much.
Her mask could pass for a small face, but the cap pulled so low it shadowed her features? Yeah.
"You must really want to debut, huh?"
"Of course! I even left Celia to go all-in here! I'm dead serious. Honestly, meeting a guy out like this scares me a bit..."
Yeah, Mapdu's ratings were exploding right now.
A girl group born under this kind of spotlight was basically guaranteed success.
Plus, they'd get full backing from our network. No wonder the ambition.
"Scared, but you came running with your tail wagging when I called?"
I smirked and teased her. Sua's face flushed red in an instant, and she freaked out.
"W-what...!! D-Director, you're... someone I'm grateful to! I had to come..."
"Got it, got it. Just messing with you. Don't worry, this room's completely sealed off."
For reference, the room Sua and I were in respected privacy—perfect for a quiet one-on-one meeting.
This upscale Chinese spot charged top dollar, so you could chat freely. High-profile guests frequented it, and the surroundings were thoroughly secured.
Not even chairs, just floor seating. You could sprawl out and chow down comfortably.
Well, truth be told, it had been a while since I'd seen Sua, and I had something to discuss, so I'd called her here myself.
I got up from my spot and boldly sat right next to her.
"...Huh? W-why...?"
Sua eyed me strangely for moving to the spot next to hers, but her gaze held a hint of eager anticipation.
Sua had already opened her heart to me completely.
So my hands had no hesitation.
I wrapped my arm around her slender waist and pulled her close.
"Eek?!"
No resistance, as expected.
If anything, she seemed to relax into it on purpose.
Playing it cool, but nestling right into my arms.
I buried my nose in the nape of her neck and inhaled her musky scent.
"Sniiff... Pretending you had no choice but to come out, yet you layered on the perfume nice and thick?"
"G-girls always do this much when they go out..."
"Don't lie. Full makeup, clear as day."
I took off her hat while I was at it.
"Kyaa?!"
Sua tried to grab it too late.
"Mmm..."
Her black hair, flattened before, cascaded down in waves.
A heart-tickling shampoo scent wafted up, and the glossy shine screamed hair mist.
Tons of waves in her locks—clear signs of careful styling with a curling iron.
"You styled your hair all pretty, so why hide it? C'mere."
I nuzzled my cheek into her silky strands.
The scent was obvious, and the softness against my skin made my head fuzzy.
Feels good... Did she style it thinking of me when I asked to meet?
Makes sense—under the mask and hat, her outfit was pretty revealing too.
Off-shoulder top showing off sexy collarbones to mess with any guy's eyes, and a super short mini skirt hugging her hips, teasingly hinting at more.
Outfit screaming she wanted to turn me on.
I made sure her efforts didn't go to waste.
"Hngh?!"
I kneaded her pale, creamy thighs while licking her earlobe.
Lick♡
"H-hah...!! W-wait a sec... Bro, not here. This is... a restaurant...?"
"A private space in a restaurant with just us two."
I whispered in her ear, then showered kisses along her dizzying shoulder line.
Mwah♡ Mwah♡ Smack-♡ Chu♡
"Ahh... Ahng...! That sound... This is too much..."
"Relax. This room's fully secured, soundproofed too."
"Even so... Hngh..."
Sua pushed at me with her arms, but it was just posturing—like she was a good girl. No real force.
"Who said anything about sex? Just gonna enjoy your body a bit."
"E-even that... makes sounds slip out...♡"
"Then let 'em rip. Trainee Sua, my producer's pick, getting naughty in a restaurant... Headline gold."
"You sneaky jerk... Hng♡!"
I slipped my hand to her panties, feeling the slight dampness.
Pressed a finger right where her slit should be...
"H-hah...! Haaang...♡ Mmph!!"
Sua clamped her hand over her mouth, stifling her moan with effort.
She shook her head wildly at me. Any more, and we'd have a Sua fountain show right in the restaurant. I pulled back.
Instead, I showed her my finger glistening with her juices and kept up the teasing.
"Didn't even do much, and you're reacting like this? How pent up are you?"
"Nng...♡ You licked my ear... kissed my shoulder... groped my legs... Of course I react...!"
"'Cause you dressed like such a slut. Dressed up hoping I'd touch you, then play innocent..."
Poke-
I poked her cute cheek.
"D-don't tease..."
"You're so cute, makes me wanna bully you more... Admit it, you dressed sexy for me."
"You're my benefactor... I know you like this style...♡"
"Right. Love the revealing kind. Benefactor, huh? Tell me more."
I started kneading her tits.
The thin off-shoulder fabric let me feel her bra clearly, and her perky, firm breasts molded to my grip just how I wanted.
Squish♡ squish♡
"H-hngh..!! Hng...! Ahng...! L-let go... You know my tits are sensitive... Hng♡!"
"Tell me exactly why you're grateful, and I'll stop."
Knead♡ knead-
Didn't plan this, but Sua's so gorgeous, I keep acting pervy.
Whew... Got a date with Ayul tonight too. This is trouble...
While I fondled, Sua's lips trembled open.
"Y-you... put me on Mapdu... Hng! Gave me tons of screen time... Hii! Made the rankings favor me... Th-thank... Kyng♡!"
"Oh, you noticed the screen time boost?"
"Y-yes... Built my image as a perfect all-rounder... Hng!! Thanks...♡"
"I'm the grateful one. You hand over this slutty body, so of course I push you hard. Now, look at me."
"Mmm...?"
Slurp♡
"Haa... Embarrassing...♡"
Sua blushed prettily and smiled coyly.
She loves my kisses.
"You'll survive to the end and be a good idol under me, right?"
"Yes...! I'll claw my way up as much as you push me... to help you...♡"
"That's my girl."
Mwah♡ Mwah♡ Smooch♡!
After that, I slipped my hand inside her top to grope her tits while deep-kissing.
All the way until the staff brought food.
Took a good while—Sua's nipples were sore from the tit play by then.
"Mmm... Bro, so what's this thing you wanted to say?"
Sua stuffed her mouth with fried chili shrimp, cheeks puffed out like a chipmunk.
"Nothing big. Group evals start soon, picking teams, right?"
"Yeah. But no clue how teams get divided. Starts tomorrow."
"Yeah, ten teams total. Top 10 cumulative vote getters pick teammates in order, one by one. You're in that range, so you'll get picks."
"Y-you can tell me that...?"
Sua froze mid-chopsticks, staring at me wide-eyed like I'd spilled massive corruption.
I snorted. "Why freak out so much? You've already whored yourself out to me for screen time... Mmph!"
"Shut up! Eat this!"
Her face turned beet red as she shoved chili shrimp in my mouth and played dumb.
We'd done way dirtier together, and now she's shy?
"Mmm... Tasty. Anyway, teams pick that way, so wanna hear some trainee recs from me?"
"Recommendations...?"
"Yeah."
"I'd love that, but why bother?"
She tilted her head skeptically.
I cut straight to it.
"Easier for me to boost your team if I stack it with girls I'm backing."
"...Bro, just to check... Don't tell me..."
"Yup. Your secret friends."
"...."
Sua stared at me like I was scum.
