Kang Taehyun had no idea what had happened in 'Angelia's dream'.

He was sitting in a large theater hall, at the very back of the row next to a three-person jury, listening to the angelic sound of the first contestant. But the voice wasn't what Taehyun was looking for, so his thoughts wandered to Gumi. He had sent Jisoo off again with a note to ask the redhead for a meeting. And the answer came back very quickly, which made Taehyun extremely happy.

All he had to do now was concentrate on the competition.

Taehyun absolutely had to find this girl!

But the second candidate also disappointed the perfectionist musician. She was also not like the special voice he was looking for. And so he had to wait the long seconds until the next candidate. She came onto the stage with careful, slow steps. She pulled the fabric of her long, red dress with her and sparkled in the sparse light of the hall like a small universe.

The spotlights shone directly on the girl's hair, which glowed a vibrant red in the light. She stood in the middle of the large stage and adjusted her dress. The mask was also adjusted, like a pair of glasses.

Very slowly, as if in slow motion, she raised her arms and grabbed the microphone. She held on to it as if the microphone were holding her above water like driftwood.

The dress in the color of wine matched her hair perfectly. And a white Venetian mask with a few feathers of the same color adorned her eyes, revealing only a small glimpse of her mouth. Apart from that, you could barely make out who it was. The singer hid her identity behind a breathtaking aura, but still gave us a glimpse of her shoulder blades.

That is, if the judges could even make it out in the distance.

Despite her disguise, the girl was nervous and this could be clearly seen even through the distance. Her breathing could be heard through the microphone, her hands constantly moved around the microphone and the redhead's head moved from side to side as if she had to make sure that no one else was in the theater. When the candidate looked back towards the jury, the melody started.

She tried to breathe in and out deeply to regain her composure and closed her eyes.

Now there was complete silence and you would have thought you could hear her rapid heartbeat.

Taehyun looked towards the stage and waited, but the melody just played while the girl made no sound. The musician knew the problem of excitement, but because the girl was the first to take an unnecessarily long time, he put his index finger over his lips thoughtfully.

Finally, the candidate began to sing.

And literally lifted Taehyun out of his seat.

Even if the song was familiar to him - Spark by Taeyeon - it was extremely surprising to Taehyun that this contestant immediately knew where her hang-up was. It was almost as if she had started the song in her head long ago, which only made it seem like the microphone had malfunctioned.
