Chapter 193.

In the snow that falls in December
Let us bid our farewells together

Ten idols stood upon the stage, each adorned in brilliant crimson cloaks and matching scarlet dresses.
Upon their heads rested Santa hats or reindeer antler headbands.
Their noses bore the iconic red of Rudolph’s nose.
The song they would perform today was “A Winter Filled with Warmth.”
A composition penned by Cha-yul herself.
A carol that had achieved considerable success.

A pristine white street
Standing vacant in the center
I watched the falling snow

True to her role as the original artist, Cha-yul sang with practiced grace.
Those watching the stage found themselves gazing absently toward the windows.
Outside, white snow was falling in gentle cascades.
A season when snow descends.
A day beloved by countless hearts.

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
The day we promised
The snow we promised
Today doesn’t feel cold at all

The ten idols joined hands, their faces radiant as they sang.
Every voice blended in perfect harmony, none standing out above the rest.

The moment I saw your eyes
This heart of mine, like melting snow
Could it melt away

Ryu Bora gripped the microphone with both hands, singing with a radiant smile.
She wore a deer headband on her head, complete with a deer nose.
She was unmistakably a deer.

In this tender winter,
Don’t let your heart grow cold.

Kim Geum locked eyes with another idol and harmonized perfectly.
The two held hands tightly while wearing white pocket gloves.
The mischievous glimmer in Kim Geum’s eyes whenever she smiled resembled a Christmas fairy.
A playful fairy, seeming to give gifts yet withholding them.

Two layers of glass,
Two layers of white curtains,
Our overlapping hands,
Everything is nothing but warmth.

Next came Yun Chung’s part.
Cha-yul, standing beside Yun Chung, turned her head with a pleased expression.
Then, during the “our overlapping hands” part, she gently grasped Yun Chung’s hand.
Yun Chung didn’t pull away, squeezing Cha-yul’s hand firmly in return.

Cold, chilled fingertips,
Quietly drawing my knees together,
I want to believe in love.

Ryu Bora, standing beside them, seemed to contemplate something for a moment, then quickly extended her arm and linked it through Yun Chung and Kim Geum’s.
She wanted to hold hands, but the microphone in her grip made it impossible.

You sitting across from me,
Touching my cold fingertips,

The white light pouring down resembled falling snow.
Snow that never stops.
A heart wishing it would never stop.

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
It’s the day we promised
It’s the snow we promised
Today doesn’t feel cold at all

Such words resonated throughout the entire venue.
Both StillBlue on stage and StillBlue in the audience.
Whispered.
Merry Christmas.

Yun Chung PLMU eye contact

How is the person who took this even alive

And Ryu Bora even told StillBlue where this person was lolololol
PLMU MANAES (Maknae) Yeon Ju-hong’s visuals are insane

(Video)
Winter Ju-hong isn’t crazy, right?
Fur hat Ju-hong..
Fur gloves Ju-hong…
Fur boots Ju-hong…
Fur cape Ju-hong…
Isn’t she crazy?

Seo Baek-young dancing like a male idol, why is she so good at dancing

(Video)

+
Ah apparently Seo Baek-young said she danced during a school trip in middle school lololololololol
So cute..
I want to see it too… middle school Seo Baek-young…
You were definitely everyone’s first love back then,,

PLMU Carol StillBlue Cut Compilation

(Video)
The Yun Chung-Geum-Bora combination is so good;;;
Yun Chung goes without saying
Bora’s voice matches the carol so well… she’s completely a nightingale…

But you… are a rapper… why are you even good at singing?
Did StillBlue’s baby Santas go crazy

(Video)

How cute are they holding hands and waving with other female idols?
Are you guys a baby choir? Huh?

Carol Yun Chung legend…
Cha-yul and Yun Chung stage combination

(Photo)
Why does Cha-yul come across like she’s unrequited love for Yun Chung lol
If you didn’t know, you’d think it wasn’t a carol but a love song

Because that’s a ‘fact’..
└Cha-yul and Yun Chung’s love is famous..
StillBlue singing Eternal Summer in winter

Just for today, wouldn’t it be fine to switch Summer to Winter a bit

If it’s an endless winter, isn’t that basically extreme cold training…
Unintentionally becoming an ice age song
Oh, Popularity Award

Give it to NextGen~

Honestly, wasn’t it NextGen this year, or BurnAsh?
└Kkkkkkk It’s hard to disparage NextGen~~~~ Yes, yes~~~ Burn Ash is so good~~~
It’s TMM, what do you expect
The Popularity Award is decided by voting anyway, so it’s possible. The important one is the Grand Prize
Huh? Isn’t NextGen deserving?
└ㅇㅇㅇ Advanced Burn Ash Antinga
Huh PLMU got the Silver Award for digital sales

What? They’re giving out Wick Start here? Lol wtf
No, they should’ve given it to Cha-yul
Cha-yul held the number one digital track for how many days this year, you idiots
I guess I have to give them Sbl then, damn it.
Are they joking?

Maybe they’re planning to give out Gold or Platinum digital awards later
└If that’s the case…
No, but Wick Start isn’t it anyway, so I’d rather give it to Greysh lolol
TMM is really trying to suppress Colors

Hahahahaha
Colors fans are getting totally ignored
Hey, what’s this Special Contribution Award to Greysh? You bastards?
Giving an achievement award to an idol who’s already doing so well is ridiculous lol
Seriously

BurnAsh sold the most albums this year but we don’t even know if they’ll get the Platinum Album Award
Even so, the album has clear indicators, you know? The real problem right now is the music source, damn it…
Even though Steel Blue should have received the Silver Award for the minimum sound source, they gave it to me as an unheard-of person. The Gold Award should have been given to Chayul or the overwhelming idols, so even with that performance, they won’t be able to get a single award for the sound source, right?
All Colors is undefeated this year lolol
Basically everyone except Moment is being ignored…
PLMU is being unusually biased this year

Did they team up with All Season?
All Season and Moment are splitting everything

The Rookie Award is coming up soon

Announcing the nominees

I won’t look, I won’t look
└I can see you watching everything, teacher

***

Prism Homma was extremely anxious right now.
The judges of the Platinum Music Awards seemed to have eaten something wrong—they were handing out awards in the strangest ways.
Would they even give the Rookie Award properly in this situation?
I’ve worked so hard to witness my kids winning the Rookie Award with my own eyes.
I participated in every ticket event imaginable just to get a PLMU Awards ticket.
After barely managing to secure one ticket and coming here….
The atmosphere of the awards ceremony was historically terrible.
My kids’ stage was historically amazing, but the higher-ups were historically insane.
Meanwhile, the camera was capturing StillBlue.
The screens were filled with the faces of Yun Chung and Seo Baek-young.
The two of them smiled at the camera with composed expressions.
The way they waved their hands as if nothing was wrong tore at Prism Homma’s heart.
Prism Homma could see it.
Even though Yun Chung appeared unbothered, she wasn’t actually unbothered.
The subtly trembling jaw and tightened lips proved how tense she really was.
For a professional idol like Yun Chung to show even that much, it meant she was truly nervous.

‘You bastards at PLMU… if you don’t give my kids the Rookie Award, I’m sending three protest trucks….’

Determined to send three large trucks in front of TMM Headquarters no matter what.
Prism Homma gripped the camera tightly.

[Se-a: There were really many talented rookies this year.]
[Min-hu: That’s right. Truly, it was a year that could be called a war of rising stars. Whether it’s singing or dancing. There wasn’t a single thing that didn’t shine—it was the year of rookie idols.]
[Se-a: I’ve also received the Rookie Award before, so I know how special this award is for rookie idols. To all the rookie artists, thank you for your hard work this year. I hope next year will be an even more beloved year for you all.]

The MC in all this was Se-a.
As female idols who had built internal familiarity through Top Doll appeared one by one, Prism Homma smiled softly.

[Min-hu: Then, this year’s Rookie Award! Let me first introduce the presenter. The star who will be presenting this year’s Rookie Award is… famous as the strongest force in music sources. Cha-yul, please.]

As the actor MC finished speaking, Cha-yul emerged from behind the stage holding the Rookie Award trophy and cue cards.
The presenter was Cha-yul, of all people.
Prism Homma began to slowly offer prayers to her ancestors in heaven.

‘I may be an ungrateful descendant, but please, I’m asking for this.’

If I pull today, I think a legendary image will come out.
Prism Homma didn’t want to miss the legend right before her eyes, so she widened her eyes.

[Se-a: Cha-yul, how do you feel about presenting the Rookie Award today?]
[Cha-yul: Ah, it’s very honorable and wonderful. I really wanted to shine a light on our juniors with my own hands. Thank you for giving me this opportunity, PLMU.]

Cha-yul said that and greeted the camera.

[Se-a: Then, let’s take a look at the 20XX Platinum Music Awards Rookie Award nominees together.]

The nominees for this year appeared one by one on the large screen via VCR.
The music videos of the nominees and each group’s title tracks were playing briefly.
Finally, as StillBlue’s “Paper Dol” and “Eternal Summer” appeared, the VCR footage ended.

[Cha-yul: 20XX Platinum Music Awards Rookie Award.]

The moment Cha-yul checked the cue card.
A subtle smile spread across her lips.

[Cha-yul: StillBlue. Congratulations.]

“Gasp.”

The five members of StillBlue were captured on the large screen.
They all had their mouths wide open in shock.
Prism Homma nearly dropped the camera.
Then StillBlue began making their way onto the stage.
As Seo Baek-young climbed the stairs, her legs gave out, and she stumbled, so Kim Geum steadied her.
Yeon Ju-hong was already tearing up.
Yun Chung and Ryu Bora still looked like they couldn’t quite believe this was real.
The moment Yun Chung came up, Cha-yul embraced her tightly and whispered congratulations in her ear.
Then she placed the trophy in Yun Chung’s arms.
Yun Chung gazed at the trophy, momentarily overwhelmed and unable to speak.
It wasn’t until she received the microphone from Kim Geum that she regained her composure.

[Yun Chung: Ah… first, I want to say thank you so much. To everyone at the company who helped us get here, to all the staff, to our manager Ju-ha. To Hong Yeon-seo, who always gives us so much advice. Thank you all.]

Yun Chung spoke with a trembling voice and took a deep breath.

[Yun Chung: And there’s something we all want to say together.]

As Yun Chung looked around at her members, they nodded in acknowledgment.
Then they all huddled together around the microphone.

[StillBlue: We love you, Ever Blue!]

At their resounding cry, everyone at the awards ceremony burst into laughter.
StillBlue didn’t stop smiling even as their cheeks flushed with emotion.

[Yun Chung: We could only come this far because Ever Blue supported us. No matter what happens… we will never forget the love we’ve received, and we’ve decided to give you our whole hearts. Thank you so much.]

Yun Chung said this and handed the microphone to Seo Baek-young beside her.

[Baek-young: I’ve honestly… rarely felt passionate affection for someone in my life. So when you all showed me such great love, I wondered if I deserved to receive this much. But then my thoughts changed. I realized I do deserve this love. Because… I love you all just as much. I’m in love with you all… so isn’t it okay? That’s what I thought. For Ever Blue. I won’t forget the heart we had when we gave you that name, and I’ll keep striving forward.]

Seo Baek-young spoke hurriedly due to the time limit and handed the microphone to Yeon Ju-hong.

[Ju-hong: My sisters already said everything, so I’ll just say—Ever Blues, I love you!]
[Geum: Me too! So much!]
[Bora: I’ll treasure the hearts you’ve given me, thinking of them as a loan. And since I borrowed them… I’ll pay them back with interest.]

And so.
The moment StillBlue’s first rookie award acceptance speech ended.
The entire world turned white.
More precisely.
My world turned white.
