Today was especially a highlight.

“Um… I…”

“Yes, Yu Hyeok. Have you decided on your individual talent?”

“I’ll try to show aegyo, aegyo!”

Was he trying to resort to aegyo since he couldn’t dance or sing?

Well… it wasn’t a bad choice.

If only this wasn’t a team competition audition program.

Yu Hyeok winked while squinting his eyes and clenching his fist.

“Can I say ‘ya’?”

“…”

“Can I say ‘mine’?”

‘Wow….’

“We need a pet name that only we know. Honey, honey, so from today, you’re mine!”

Can I close my eyes?

Everyone rolled their eyes, quite flustered.

Especially Today’s hoobaes, who wondered how to react to Yu Hyeok’s 30-second show.

Watching Yu Hyeok finish with a finger heart and a biting action, I admired him.

At least Yu Hyeok is trying hard!

“…Wow….”

The only thing left on the set was a cold silence. Still, some polite hoobaes clapped for Today.

“Cute….”

“Hmm… sunbaes are really different.”

Yu Hyeok, having done his part, bowed his head in embarrassment.

Well, Today’s fans might like it. Idol aegyo always left a good impression.

But this wasn’t the image the staff wanted in this fierce competition program.

Kim Heeyeon was already cursing with her eyes.

I bet Kim Heeyeon will include this cheap scene whenever it airs.

“Ha… ha… ha… well….”

“…”

“That was some nice aegyo.”

Yu Jia couldn’t add more on set but held up the next card with a deadpan (ㅎ) expression.

“Now, let’s vote, shall we?”

The talent show voting proceeded with three rules:

One cannot vote for their own group.
Voting is conducted according to the maximum member limit.
The group with the most votes wins first place.
I entered my vote on the pre-issued device, thinking the result was obvious.

After a little while, when all the idols finished voting, Yu Jia cheerfully recited the predetermined lines.

“Now, let’s see who will have the honor of exclusive additional broadcast time.”

She turned her back, and the large monitor hastily displayed some texts.

Gulim font. It was a relief that it wasn’t Gungseo font, but I would have fired the person in charge if it were me.[1]

“The Dawn!”

“Woah!”

“Hyung, additional broadcast!”

As soon as the group name was called, Jeong Dajun hugged me tightly.

The other members surrounded us, making a fuss. It felt chaotic.
