I Decided To Become a Perfect Girl

79 – 15 years old (34)

As expected.

Our group has been decided to be a cutie-themed ‘sneaky sneak peek’.

“Wow, but how can you be a cutie? I don’t understand.”

Kim Seo-yoon is cutie?

I really don’t understand.

“What do you mean, I’m so cute? I’m just the embodiment of cuteness?”

A chilly atmosphere from the beginning.

We lightened the mood by joking around.

Unnie Hwang Yeon-ha naturally assumed the role of leader as the eldest at 25 years old.

The younger sister started distributing her positions.

“Then shall we choose a center? Who wants to be a center?”

It was Goo Eun-hee who raised her hand first.

“Me!”

I heard you quit being an idol at some point.

Do you have any hope that you can debut just because you entered the 24th?

It was Koo Eun-hee who suddenly became greedy for the center.

“Enough of one? No more?”

Maylin timidly raises her hand.

Mei Lin repeated her mistake in the last round of competition, but with only one visual pick, she survived the announcement of the second round of rankings.

Seoyoon unnie gently tapping my thighs.

Whether either Koo Eun-hee or May-Lin is in charge of the center, the future of the team is obvious.

It meant to report me and apply for the center.

‘Haa… I want to stop being cute.’

Still, there was nothing special.

I have to win first.

“I want to be a center too.”

Goo Eun-hee crumples her face when she sees me.

I must have wanted to become a center for quite some time.

“Three people including Dohee? What can I do… The center decision has become fierce.”

After thinking for a while, the younger sister pointed to the line of ‘We are tightly wrapped around each other’ in her lyrics and said.

“Then let’s think we’re doing a center part here, and let’s try acting with three people. Who do you want to start with?”

Two people refuse to come forward when asked to do it.

I let out a sigh, but I swallowed it inside.

“I’ll try it first.”

“Okay, shall we start with Dohee?”

I started singing along with the beat counted by my younger sister.

“It surrounds us tightly~”

Even when I listen to it, my voice has become much clearer.

And I crossed my arms and made a fresh expression as much as possible with a pose as if I was hugging myself.

“Cute, cute!”

The younger sister’s reaction.

“Good work, great.”

Kim Seo-yoon, who would normally have made fun of it, also praised it because it was just an issue this time.

“Yes, cute!”

However, Yeeun still didn’t seem to realize that whenever she said something like that, she was hurting herself.

After my turn, Koo Eun-hee’s center performance.

“It surrounds us tightly~”

A somewhat unnatural expression.

Unnatural motion.

It was a skill that made me think that if it wasn’t for the 1st place reward, I would have definitely been eliminated.

“hahahaha, ok, that was good.”

Yeonhee unnie smiles at me, but I know it myself.

She said she couldn’t.

The last Maylin.

As expected, it is much better than Koo Eun-hee as much as it is a visual, but it still did not touch me.

“Then I’ll vote now.”

While the three of us, including myself, who applied for the center, closed their eyes, the other three decided on the center through discussion and voting.

“Our center is Dohee!”

The younger sister clapped fervently and shouted to cheer up her slumped atmosphere.

“Thank you, I’ll do my best!”

“Come.”

“Dohee, fighting!”

I thought it would end on a warm note, but the uncomfortable atmosphere started with Meirin staring at the wall with her back to the camera.

Greetingly, Meirin began to sob.

“Irin, why are you crying~”

A younger sister who hurriedly comforts Meilin by hugging her.

But the more she calmed her down, the louder Maylin’s tears became.

“…I’m sorry. I really wanted to do it, but I thought I’d be eliminated if I couldn’t show it to the center this time…”

Meilin’s ranking at the first ranking announcement was 8th.

However, she was ranked 22nd in the second ranking announcement ceremony.

Of course, in her second contest, her own mistake caused her ranking to plummet, but she could not have been nervous.

Also, the team reward of 20,000 votes given to the winning team in the 3rd contest did not necessarily guarantee survival.

Still, it was better than Goo Eun-hee.

Crying like that means that you are desperate.

It was 100 times better than not working hard.

“Can I try it again…?”

Until she said this, Mei Lin dropped tears like chicken poop.

***

3Rd Contest, Theme Evaluation.

A new song that is not a cover of an existing song.

In other words, a contest that evaluates participants’ original songs.

As much as that, we had to meet the composers, guide and record, so we had a tighter schedule than usual, and thanks to that, the midterm evaluation started earlier than usual.

“Why did you decide to become a center?”

And in front of him, Trainer Moon Jin-woo sighed and spoke in a dumb tone.

It wasn’t just Trainer Jinwoo Moon’s job.

All the trainers and all the judges were critical.

-The line doesn’t match~ The beat doesn’t match~ It’s a spectacle. It’s a spectacle.

-How did you survive the third round? Aren’t you sorry for the fallen children?

-Your expressions are stiff. Do you know guys?

-Children, what did you think while practicing? We don’t have time right now

-It’s not cute… It’s not exciting… Moreover, Eunhee’s choreography is all wrong and very messy.

In addition, the choreographer of ‘Secretly sneakily’, who came as a special trainer, was also harshly criticized.

-I don’t feel any of the images I thought of when I was choreographing the performance. Just this move~ That move~ Just stretch out your arms and you’re done.

Because it had only been two days since we started practicing, there were still many immature aspects of everyone.

However, taking that into consideration, excessive criticism.

In other words, our team sum was serious.

A ticking time bomb that was uneasy from the start.

It was only now that it exploded.

“Now is not the time to cry. They ask why I became the center.”

Trainer Jin-Woo Moon shoots and May-Lin sheds tears beside her.

-Can I try it again…?

Meirin With that one word, I had no choice.

Because of the camera.

If I hadn’t had a camera, I would have calmed down and told him to try hard to win with the 1st prize.

In front of the camera, it looked weird to say no.

So you’re voting for the center again?

It was only natural that the team atmosphere would be ruined from that moment on.

In the end, the only thing left is to make good concessions.

Of course, there was nothing to lose to myself and my image.

From an image point of view, you will like me.

But can I win first place this time?

I don’t know.

“Listen carefully, Meylin trainee. The center is the image of the team. It’s not just about being pretty! Have you thought about what a trainee can show as a center? I should have said I would be the center.”

Even if an idol of a generation has passed, it is normal to manage an image as an idol, but Mr. Moon Jin-woo did not do that at all and built a blood relationship.

It’s time to practice again after the midterm evaluation that only received criticism.

This time, the choreographer in charge of the song came and started intensive training.

Thanks to that, the line, line, and tempo were gradually adjusted, but even so, I still couldn’t avoid harsh criticism.

“Is everything wrong from the beginning?”

“Guys, what if I can’t do it yet?”

“Guys, let’s memorize it quickly. There’s no time right now.”

“One to three four, I’m not looking at you right now!”

“Eunhee, what did you do while you were learning the kids? Are you struggling alone?”

The situation of our team, which is in total difficulty.

Goo Eun-hee doesn’t even practice properly.

Maylin is not capable of being a center.

Yeeun unnie shrank in the atmosphere.

As a leader, a younger sister who takes care of her teammates.

Kim Seo-yoon went mental because of Koo Eun-hee.

And the liberated me.

It was a combination I didn’t know where to begin with.

***

In the recording studio booth.

The composer’s voice through the talkback microphone.

-Lee Do-hee Trainee I’ll sing all the choruses once.

MR flowing from the headset.

After the pre-chorus rhythm passed, it became the chorus part.

“My heart is like a little worm”

“I’m going for a light run”

“Secret trembling, small greed”

“It surrounds us tightly”

-In the last part, can you sing it with a twist?

-It was good just now. Shall we sing softly this time without bending?

-Okay, I’ll go one more time.

At the composer’s request, he sang several times to match the mood.

-Oh, it was so good now. I’ll come out right away.

The composer’s OK sign came out.

A composer teacher who listened to the voices of all the trainees at the end of my recording.

It was clear that the teacher spoke carefully.

“I’ve heard the voice once… When I made this song, I put the core part in the center part.”

“It’s a song with a cute concept, so if this center part doesn’t give off a lively yet fresh atmosphere… Maybe the overall mood of the song tends to be loose.”

“As much as that, the center part can influence the overall mood of the song.”

“Um… Yes. To be honest, I can’t help it if it’s for the perfection of the song. I’m sorry for the Meirin trainee, but as a composer, I hope Lee Do-hee takes over the center.”

At the composer’s words, May Lin’s eyes were filled with water again.

“Yes…”

Ehh…

From noble mtl dot com.

There was only one conclusion.

After wandering around for a while, I was in charge of the center again.

Now we have about 5 days left.

As it was the 3rd contest with the shortest practice period, the future was already dark.

I practiced with the sub vocal 3 part for 4 days, but now I’m the center.

Changed movement lines and changed parts.

I can’t sleep, and I vomit at the thought of having to match myself.

“I’m sorry, Dohee…”

As if she knew she was wrong, Mei Lin hugged me and burst into tears.

Yes what.

If I tell you not to sleep, I will do it somehow.

She has confidence.

But Meirin.

Can Maylin fit the new part?

Ah, give me everything, I want to beat you.
