Episode 68
“……?”
No one spoke immediately.
Go Jae-sung’s expression said it all.
His eyes asked a silent question: ‘What kind of nonsense is this?’
After a moment of silence.
“……Ha ha, just joking!”
Jang Hyun-jun burst into laughter.
“What the—”
“You scared me—”
Relief laughter rippled through the Conference Room.
“You all fell for it, didn’t you?”
Go Jae-sung forced a smile as well.
“Ha, flawless timing, seriously.”
“You should go into acting, Hyun-jun.”
But Jang Hyun-jun didn’t drop his grin.
“I’m voting for Yu Seong-woo.”
This time it wasn’t a joke.
“Wait, why all of a sudden—”
Yu Seong-woo cut him off.
“All of a sudden?”
……
It was the moment the alliance of three shattered.
PD Sun felt like he was going insane watching this unfold. The agency had asked him to go easy on the editing.
‘If only this wasn’t an in-house survival show…….’
With footage like this, he was confident he could turn the entire internet upside down with just the preview alone.
Yu Seong-woo stood up from his seat.
“So the results are in, then?”
“But still.”
Go Jae-sung spoke urgently.
“Shouldn’t we hear from Choi Un-jo too?”
Yu Seong-woo sat back down without complaint. Remarkably composed for his age.
‘And this kid’s still a minor?’
Choi Un-jo tilted his head.
“Hmm, I think there’s a risk for Jae-sung.”
“……What?”
“I was going to pick Jae-sung.”
For an instant, Go Jae-sung’s mouth twitched.
“But it’s done now?”
It was brief, but the camera wouldn’t have missed it.
“Everyone’s in quite the joking mood today.”
He spoke with a laugh, but his face wasn’t laughing at all.
“I had fun with Seong-woo’s team—”
Choi Un-jo stood up from his seat.
“Too bad.”
His face didn’t look regretful in the slightest.
“Well, I’ll head back to the Studio now.”
Only Go Jae-sung still refused to accept what had happened.
“Amnesia Team, have you decided which trainee will transfer?”
Recording resumed. Kang Se-jun posed the question.
“……Yes.”
“Please call their name.”
Go Jae-sung picked up the microphone. But no words came.
Time simply passed.
The Studio fell silent.
About ten seconds in, a production assistant monitoring the situation asked.
“Should we cut?”
“No.”
PD Sun raised his hand.
“Keep the cameras rolling.”
A moment like this couldn’t be missed.
“Pull the camera in slowly on his face.”
“Yes.”
The camera drifted slowly across Go Jae-sung’s features.
Anxiety, bewilderment, and the strain of suppression—every flicker of emotion lay bare.
PD Sun watched the shift with fascination.
Finally, Go Jae-sung opened his mouth.
“……Yu Seong-woo. He’s a trainee.”
The studio erupted in a ripple of shock.
“Who?”
“Yu Seong-woo? Why?”
The My Girl team reacted the same way.
It was a name no one had anticipated—a natural response.
“Yu Seong-woo.”
Kang Se-jun held out the microphone.
“Your team’s changed. Would you share your thoughts?”
Normally in these moments, a trainee’s face hardens first. Humiliation at elimination is the standard, and even forced laughter rings hollow under the lights.
But Yu Seong-woo was different.
If anything, he looked like someone who’d been waiting for this moment.
“Huh?”
“What’s he doing?”
Yu Seong-woo suddenly spun in a full circle, then strode boldly toward Kang Se-jun’s side.
It was such a headlong advance that Se-jun instinctively stepped back.
“Uh…… Yes. Yu Seong-woo?”
How many people could actually rattle Kang Se-jun? He barely suppressed his smile.
‘This guy’s insane. Really.’
Yu Seong-woo took the microphone and locked eyes with the camera lens.
‘What’s he going to do now…….’
“Actually.”
He paused for effect.
“I’ve wanted this so badly.”
Yu Seong-woo grinned wickedly.
“Wanted what……?”
“To be your boyfriend.”
The studio froze solid.
“……Pardon?”
Yu Seong-woo blew a kiss and swept his gaze from left to right across the room.
“Your ex.”
To the left.
“Your current one.”
Straight ahead.
“Your boyfriend of the future.”
To the right.
“Anything’s possible.”
The studio erupted. A campaign politician would’ve wept at such audacity.
“Hahahaha!”
“He’s lost it!”
“What is this guy!”
Even Kang Se-jun looked completely defeated.
“Uh…… yeah.”
At that flustered expression, PD Sun finally broke into laughter.
He’d expected the usual—something about working hard, being an asset to the new team, that sort of thing.
He’d never anticipated an answer this audacious.
The corners of his mouth climbed higher.
Yu Seong-woo trotted off toward Kang I-yul and Han Sang-yun.
“Seong-woo, welcome!!”
Ji Dong-seok spun around in exaggerated celebration.
The instant all four of them fit into a single frame, PD Sun was certain.
‘This is going to be so much more fun.’
* * *
Less than an hour after the team reassignment ended, spoilers flooded social media.
Of course, they weren’t spoiling indiscriminately. Among countless bait posts, there was only one fishing for the big catch.
[Ranking Spoiler]
Everything posted so far is basically bait—ignore it. I was going to skip this too, but some guy named Go is Code 1?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Sounds like he half-heard something and posted it for attention.
Code 1 changed. This trainee has never held Code 1 before, and when it airs, things are going to get loud for a while.
And one kid who was in safe debut range got knocked down to Code 6.
But honestly, the team reassignment itself is more shocking?
-Wait, is Sang-yun finally hitting first place?
└Getting benefits through obvious scheming and now going after Code 1?
└Why do people keep blaming our guy for their own sabotage backfiring?
-Top comment’s wrong—Sang-yun held Code 1 before, at the very beginning.
└Outside of the trainee period, he doesn’t really rank first.
-Isn’t it Kang I-yul? He’s the first to get both team and individual benefits.
└Yeah, Kang’s got more potential than Han.
└ㅠㅠ I’d be happy just making it back to debut, but if he really gets first, I’ll do a talchum dance while singing Shine at Gwanghwamun.
└I’m screenshotting this.
-Why is nobody talking about Seong-woo? Isn’t he worth a shot?
└True, he has the team benefit too.
└Something doesn’t feel right about it;; Code 3 seems fair.
[For 1 minute]
Taking questions. But I can skip whatever I want.
-Did any of Ju and Kyung make it?ㅠㅠ
└No
└What, what rank then?
└Then that narrows down the number of dropouts—I can’t say.
-Is Jae-sung in the debut group?
└Yeah, barely.
-Did Seong-woo maintain his ranking?
└Maintain? His ranking changed.
-Seong-woo’s team stayed the same?
-Is Kang I-yul in the top 3?
└Yeah
-Is Han in the debut group?
└Yeah
-Are there lots of dropouts in this reshuffling?
└Yeah, so they brought one person from another team.
A minute later, the spoiler vanished without a trace.
The forum began piecing together rankings from the answers he’d left behind.
[Spoiler Summary]
Kang I-yul in top 3.
Go Jae-sung barely made debut—looks like Code 4 max.
Yu Seong-woo’s ranking changed.
Han Sang-yun staying in debut.
Ju and Kyung both dropped out >> If there were just one dropout, he’d have said so, so there must be at least 2 eliminations this round.
One person moved to this team from another.
Rough guess:
Code 1: Kang I-yul
Code 2: Ju Han
Code 3: Han Sang-yun
Code 4: Choi Un-jo or Yu Seong-woo
Code 5: Go Jae-sung
Code 6: Yu Seong-woo or Choi Un-jo
That’s my read.
-Why is Seong-woo a Code 6 candidate?? He’s definitely top 3.
-These named guys care so much about their relationships they started talking shit publicly to save each other—look at this mess. If Choi Un-jo ends up Code 6, I’m gonna be pissed.
-If that ranking’s right, first group is totally possible.
└Nope, because Jae-sung’s there.
└What do you mean? Jae-sung’s got both the public appeal and the fanbase right now.
“Everything that could come out has come out, but the important things stayed hidden.”
My ranking wasn’t revealed. My team change wasn’t revealed. Next week’s treasures were safely locked away.
Still, there were the occasional sharp questions.
-But didn’t you answer anything about Seong-woo’s team change?
└Really? The stream crashed after a minute so I missed it
└Don’t say stuff like that;; Seong-woo has to be in Amnesia
-What if Seong-woo goes to their team?
└Then we vote out the people who voted him out, obviously
“Ugh—”
I hadn’t realized the atmosphere was so hostile toward My Girl.
But there was no helping it. I’d already pulled that insane stunt next to Kang Se-jun, so I was going to place first no matter what.
‘I’ll take the heat for this, but right now those two people’s lives are depending on me.’
-The comment above is overthinking it;; isn’t there no reason for Yu Seong-woo to be eliminated? He’s the vocal position
-So who’s left in My Girl then?
└Kang I-yul, Han Sang-yun, Ji Dong-seok
└That’s not bad?
“Looks like you know a thing or two.”
Well, our team’s atmosphere right now was at its peak.
‘I just need to do well.’
“Hyung, is there a difficult part in the choreography?”
Kang I-yul had appeared before me in an instant, extending his hand.
I hurriedly put down my phone.
“Uh… the chorus?”
“The chorus?”
In that moment, Kang I-yul’s eyes lit up.
…I was done for.
“Could you teach me just that part again?”
“Of course!”
How could I possibly refuse when looking into those pure, sparkling eyes?
But the problem was that I was in a situation similar to Signal Song.
I already knew the choreography.
And I knew it very well.
“Hyung, move your hand like this here.”
“Mm.”
“And rest for one beat!”
“Yeah.”
“Then you come back in.”
“Got it.”
It was like a tutor and student.
The only difference was that the student had already memorized the answer key.
From the very beginning, I’d been prepared for the possibility of moving to My Girl. There didn’t seem to be any weak links on our current team.
If the team changed, we’d have only four days left, with a practical training period of three.
Of course, if I pushed myself relentlessly, it wouldn’t be impossible, but starting from zero foundations would be reckless.
That’s why I created an item.
[※Item Creation Successful]
▶Item Name: Instant Capture Lens
▶Effect: For a set duration, capture a scene you’ve witnessed and store it in your eyes.
The naming was admittedly terrible, but the status window surprisingly gave up the item without complaint.
‘It really does prefer straightforward things.’
Since I couldn’t openly film the My Girl team dancing, I planned to replay what I’d seen over and over.
The problem came next.
‘I can’t just ask them to show me out of the blue.’
So I decided to target my roommate, Han Sang-yun.
Around the time our room’s unofficial cleaning period was ending, I brought up the subject naturally.
“Hyung, what do you think of the My Girl choreography?”
The cleaner the room got, the more relaxed Han Sang-yun became.
“It’s manageable. The choreography doesn’t feel that intense. What about you?”
“I’m dying. Look at this—the moves are insane.”
After I showed him the dance first, Han Sang-yun naturally showed me the My Girl choreography in turn.
“Wow, it looks so good on you though?”
“Yeah?”
Compliments make Han Sang-yun dance. Or rather, compliments in a clean room make Han Sang-yun dance.
Thanks to that, I managed to save the My Girl choreography to my lens.
After that, it was practically my own private intelligence operation.
Sneaking practice in the dorm, sneaking it in the bathroom, flipping the hourglass over and over for secret sessions.
I practiced, and practiced again.
That’s why I hadn’t been eating properly. Suddenly I had two songs’ choreography to master.
Anyway, as a result of that tearful covert mission, I’ve already memorized the entire My Girl choreography.
Which is exactly why things were awkward right now.
“Want to try again?”
“Huh?”
“This time I’ll watch from behind you.”
No, he really didn’t need to keep watching.
“One, two, three, four!”
Kang I-yul counted with genuine enthusiasm.
I deliberately danced a little clumsily.
I couldn’t dance too well.
“Huh?”
Kang I-yul blinked.
“Hey.”
“Yeah?”
“You’re better than I thought?”
My heart sank.
“Really?”
“Yeah. That was good just now.”
Ah.
‘Should I be happy about this?’
I’d tried my best to look incompetent, and now I was being praised.
Just how bottom-tier did Kang I-yul think my dancing actually was?
“Hey.”
“Yeah.”
“Let’s do it one more time.”
Kang I-yul meant it.
He truly, genuinely was trying to help me.
Which was why my conscience pricked all the more.
‘I-yul. I’m sorry.’
The truth is, I already know that part.
The problem is, I know it better than what you showed me.
