The Crown Prince Is An Idol Part 1

Chapter 92

Early in the morning on the day the midterm evaluation was scheduled to take place,.

This time, I shared the same cell with Chae Eun-gyu and had a brief chat with him before going to bed.

"Do you think our practice progress is okay?"

"The time itself has increased a lot because a lot of investment has been made. But......."

Chae Eun-gyu trailed off.

Water dripped from his damp bangs.

"What's most disturbing is that the overall sum isn't quite right yet."

"It's not a problem that can be solved in three days."

"That's true, but I think the midterm evaluation is a bit different. We have to show our performance in front of the judges. Also, we're not doing the first or second round; we're already in the final round. So I think the standard for us will be incredibly high."

"Aha."

I understand what Chae Eun-gyu is worried about.

The stage we will be going up on this time is the stage that will decorate the final chapter of <Idol Producing Simulation>.

As this is a stage that will determine the fate of the trainees right before their debut, it is certain that the judges will be picky in their evaluations.

If a team is criticized for its poor coordination, the blame will naturally fall on the leader.

Chae Eun-gyu will feel that he has not proven his abilities as a leader.

"Ha. I don't know why this time feels different."

"Is it because it's a completely different format from the choreography we've done so far? "

"That does have some influence, but...... I think the burden is greater than that."

Chae Eun-gyu sighed as he shook his hair vigorously with a towel.

"The team members all know this. This is truly the last of the last, and this stage marks the end of the long journey called <Idol Producing Simulation>. That's why they try to do it perfectly, but since the choreography is harder than they thought, they start to panic. And since the vocal parts aren't the ones they wanted to do from the beginning, their confidence drops. I think this has a chain reaction."

"In a word, it's the butterfly effect."

"I know the kids' feelings better than anyone else....... I can't nag them any more because I know how hard they're working. There must be kids who haven't entered the cell yet and are still in the practice room. It's funny to even ask them to work harder here."

We want to do better, but time is running out.

Time is running out, and the midterm exam is coming up soon.

Because of this impatience, it seems that there is a tendency for team members to slightly fall out of sync.

"...... If I could have done better as a leader, I wouldn't have had these worries."

"No. I don't think there's anything more you can do in this situation."

"All I can do is tell them what kind of choreography this is, how the movement should be done, and how to sing here. I need to encourage them more than that."

Chae Eun-gyu lowered his head and clenched his fists slightly.

At that very moment, a status window with flashing red letters popped up in my field of vision.
