63 – Fifteen (18)

” Thank you!”

” Please vote for us!”

” I love you~~~ “

After group 1’s stage, group 1 members made eye contact with the audience and greeted the stage.

However, Ryu Ho-beom stared into space as if he had lost his senses.

What I think of right now is Lee Do-hee waiting under the stage.

‘ Am I really out of my mind? ‘

The MC shouted after clearing the stage.

” Now then, let’s meet the 2nd group’s stage! Please come up with the 2nd group!”

The 2nd group finally came up to decorate the final stage.

Six trainees dressed in clean and clear outfits.

Ryu Ho-bum, who doesn’t know much about women’s clothes, but I could tell that they were wearing white sneakers, pink tennis skirts, and a simple short-sleeved T-shirt.

It wasn’t a special outfit, but that’s why it seemed to highlight the neat charm of the trainees.

Ryu Ho-bum, who was staring at the stage while thinking about something else to come to his senses, stopped breathing for a moment.

It was because Dohee and I met eyes for an instant.

‘Did you just make eye contact with me…? I think you laughed at me ‘

Even Ryu Ho-bum himself knew that he had just passed by.

I just wanted Dohee to stop laughing.

Something made my heart thump so much.

I thought it would explode.

” Now, before the stage, please introduce yourself!”

Dohee grabbed the microphone at the MC’s words.

” One two three! “

“”” Hello~ We are “””

” Look! “

” Look! “

The members of Group 2 paired up and shouted while holding cute poses in turn.

” Look at it “

The last time Dohee made a heart with Park Yeeun…

‘ Ha, why are you doing this? Driving me crazy. ‘

“”” I want to see you again! Lookies! ~ “””

” Chaerin, fighting!! “

” Yeeun, look here~ “

” I love you Dohee!!! “

The audience shouted and called the trainee they were rooting for.

Ryu Ho-bum shouldn’t be like that… But I could understand the feelings of the audience a little.

As the MC progressed, the ‘LOOKIES’ trainees introduced themselves, their aspirations, and the difficulties they had while practicing.

But Ryu Ho-beom’s heart pounded and his head was dizzy, so he couldn’t understand what he was saying.

Just a buzzing feeling.

Ho-beom Ryu closed his eyes tightly and shook his head.

‘ Come to your senses. What are you doing at this age? ‘

‘ Yes, it’s just because I’m tired of working at a company. ‘

‘ It’s just a bit pretty, so I’m a bit lost for a moment. ‘

‘ In the end, the most important thing for a singer is the stage. ‘

By the time Ryu Ho-beom came to his senses, the stage had already begun.

Ryu Ho-beom became funny at his self-righteousness.

So he put on a cynical expression for no reason and tried to calmly look at the stage again.

– Don’t be curious about me –

– I want to hide my heart so much –

‘ It’s pretty. ‘

It’s innocent and cool, but it’s a plain stage that’s not particularly different from the previous trainees.

The audience next to him who likes idols seemed to be having fun, but to him, who was still not attracted to idols themselves, that was all he felt.

Of course, I kept looking at Dohee who was dancing next to me, but…

I forcibly looked at the other trainees and evaluated them.

– I follow you like a joke –

– I can’t hide my beating heart –

Stable voice while dancing.

Now I realized that Ryu Ho-beom is good enough at this level.

But the first two performances were really bad.

Actually, I don’t know about Ryu Ho-beom, but not only Ryu Ho-beom, but all the other audience members also had a higher evaluation standard.

The reason was simple, but all the songs covered by the trainees this time were hit songs that captivated the year.

In other words, they were songs that the audience was accustomed to, and even the ones that the audience listened to were corrected sound sources.

Unless it was a tolerably talented singer, a live performance couldn’t be better than a calibrated sound source.

Still, if you feel that the trainees’ stage is good, it really means that the trainees are talented.

After Meirin and Gong Chaerin’s part, Dohee came out to the center singing.

Now I can’t force myself not to look at her.

I raised my head and stared at Dohee in the front.

– Hey, maybe I like you –

‘ And… ‘

I only realized it after 32 years.

That I also have a clear ideal type.

It was a feeling that the image of the ideal type, which had been smooth, was being established.

– It keeps coming out of my mouth –

Your voice can even be your ideal type.

– My heart wants you now –

Sound volume that is heard stably in the ear with a clear tone.

Even considering that 1/4 of the trainees had voices whose voices could not be heard properly, they were well above the ranks among the contestants.

– Will you accept my heart? –

Ryu Ho-beom decided to just admit it.

I became a fan of Dohee.

***

As we finished our ending pose while looking at the camera, loud cheers came from under the stage.

A person waving a panel with my name and face picture on it.

Despite the loud cheers, I could clearly hear the voices chanting my name.

It’s fun.

It was only a 3-minute stage, but my breathing was fast, my chest went up and down repeatedly, and my heart was throbbing so loudly that I could feel it beating.

A stage full of liveliness that is not static.

Yes.

I wanted to do a stage like this, so I said I would try an idol.

I think I’ll go crazy even with 500 cheers.

My heart is beating like this.

How about a bigger stage?

As I was still enjoying the afterglow while looking under the stage with the ending pose, Chaerin unnie took my hand and led me.

” Thank you!”

” Please vote for us a lot~ “

Ah.

I was the only one who didn’t say hello.

.

.

.

From noble mtl dot com.

After greeting the stage, I came downstairs.

I was supposed to be tired, but I didn’t even feel exhausted, let alone sluggish.

What I feel now is a pleasant excitement or exaltation.

It seemed like all the dopamine released over the past few months couldn’t keep up with the amount poured out on stage today.

” Hey Dohee… “

While everyone was laughing, Yeeun unnie sniffed and hugged me.

What is it?

Why are you crying on a good day?

Yeeun unnie threw her face into my arms and burst into tears.

Thanks to that, my chest became full.

” Oh come out.”

Yeeun her older sister said in a crawling voice as she wept her tears.

” Please scold me a lot in the future… “

Yeeun Her older sister eventually showed off her main vocal down vocals on her stage.

I was thrilled to recall the past when I was in Tier 5.

But I didn’t really get scolded…

You don’t understand my feelings…

We still have a long way to go.

” Is it real?”

“Yes…”

” What did your sister say? “

I’m welcome.

Honey.

At my lively voice, my sister raised her head and looked at me.

The tears and runny nose are very thick.

” … “

” Why.”

Yeeun stopped crying.

” I want to cancel… “

I wonder if it will work.

Anyway, it was a stage where all 2 members were satisfied.

For two weeks, all of our team members practiced their best while sleeping less.

And everyone was delighted that they showed their best on stage without any mistakes.

They were definitely good teammates considering that there were other trainees who were unfaithful to practice and hindered the progress.

Everyone was filming the new wave while embracing each other like that, but the staff broke the new wave and said.

” Participants in Group 2 will move to the voting monitoring room now.”

When we moved to the monitoring room, Group 1, who finished the stage earlier, was there.

I couldn’t help but be delighted with the subdued atmosphere of Team 1.

The silence of the results presentation room.

That’s why I’m still doing something.

I need to get the amount of camera.

I could see the MC on the stage through the monitor.

MC pointed to the back.

It seemed that the number, face, and name of the trainee appeared on the screen behind the MC.

” Alright! After all the performances, only the last vote remains! Chuseo! Please vote now for the trainee you think did the best out of the two groups!”

We paid attention to the length of the camera while doing small actions such as holding hands tightly, encouraging or praising each other, stroking each other.

The production team next to me said so.

A countdown was turned on on the monitor in the results announcement room to see if the vote counting had finished.

” Ah…! “

” I guess.”

After the countdown, the number of votes for each position in each group came out one after another.

The last thing that came out was my part, sub vocal 2.

My vote was 129, and the total number of team votes was 384 out of 500. We won the team battle.

And the first place in the winner’s bracket to receive an additional personal reward.

That was also me.

I came first with 129 votes.

Next, Yeeun unnie received 93 votes and Chaerin unnie received 78 votes.

Honestly, I don’t think the difference was because I was particularly good at it.

Since it was the center of the title song, it must have been popular.

It doesn’t make sense that Yeeun unnie, who perfectly showed the main vocal with a lot of high-pitched parts, got fewer votes than me.

Even so, Yeeun unni seemed to be happy.

The atmosphere of our team itself was very friendly.

I couldn’t even openly rejoice.

A few burst into tears in group 1.

***

It’s two o’clock in the morning.

After all the filming was over, the PD’s gongchisa started again.

” Well everyone, thank you so much for your hard work and the sweat you shed for the past 2 weeks… “

.

.

” You know that the first broadcast will be on July 8th, right? There will be a production presentation on July 4th, so all participants must participate.”

” Please contact your agency for detailed schedules… “

.

.

” Everyone worked really hard. Rest hard for a while and practice. Let’s meet on the day of the production presentation.”

Thunderous applause.

It must have been as difficult for the production team as for the participants.

Huh… It’s finally over~

I have to go home~

***

On the way home in manager Youngho’s van who came to pick us up.

Manager Youngho asked us.

” Did everyone do well?”

Are you good?

” Ah~ This is a spawn. Can I tell you?”

Looking at me taking exaggerated action, Seoyoon unnie rolled her eyes.

” Oh, I don’t like Dohee Lee’s dog.”

Are you jealous again?

” Yes, the next loser. “

Actually, Seoyoon unni did a good job. She

She put on a good stage with her older sister.

However, the result was defeat.

It was Sera’s hard carry.

Seoyoon’s sister trembled with her body.

Looking at Seoyoon unnie like that, she said Naeun unni with a smile that couldn’t be hidden.

” Stop fighting, guys.”

Actually, the biggest beneficiary of this match is Naeun unnie.

While the two groups who covered the first sip at the tea party were blown away, it was only natural that Naeun unnie had a clean performance, so it was only natural for her to get a lot of votes.

” If it’s Naeun unnie who received a whopping 200 votes, you should listen.”

Seoyoon unnie kept getting angry next to her.

” Is Lee Do-hee really dying?”

” Naeun told me not to fight, so I will stop fighting!”

I have to be patient.

The phone kept ringing from earlier.

I took out my phone and checked it.

[Kakao Talk 999+ ]

When I turned on KakaoTalk, there was a group chat room of ‘Lookies’ members.

But what is this?

There were a lot of Gantok messages from Yeeun unnie.

I clicked on something.
