The Second Chance of A Suicidal Idol

Fire (1)

"Hyung, I can't believe we're on a team together!" Mi Yong's posey, ranked 27th, Jong Dae exclaimed. He pulled on Mi Yong's side as glued to it.

Mi Yong nodded, "Yes, yes, same to you Dae-ssi." He replied, turning to the entirety of Team One behind him with a weak smile, "Nice to team with you guys..." He said with a bow.

Jong Dae chimed in to Mi Yong's works, "Yes! Let's win!" He cheered, still glued too close to Mi Yong's side.

Joon-woo nodded, chiming into the sea of "You too, Hyung."'s just like the rest of the team.

Cameras were rolling, each team had at least a camera pointed their way, recording their words, the way their faces moved and twisted, and every way their body language shifted. They still should by their newly formed teams, facing the stage and awaiting the words of Misa as she still stood upon the stage.

The average rank of each team had been zoomed in and everyone's eyes were on Joon-woo's team's 34th ranked average. All of Team One's faces had dropped at the number, 50th and 49th place trying to make themselves smaller at the sight. Joon-woo imagined the edits when the first episode aired. It would zoom in on their faces with a nerve building caption and probably highlight Mi Yong looking oddly at 50th and 49th place.

Joon-woo shook his head, as Misa began to explain again.

"Do you guys like your teams!" She asked.

Rehearsed 'yeses' rank from the contestants, Joon-woo included.

Misa smiled at the reply, "Great, great!" She cheered, "Now it's time for song selection..." She revealed.

Many contestants visibly stiffened, the cameras caught it. Joon-woo didn't catch his lack of reaction until too late, he knew the camera probably caught that too.

The backdrop began to change, various song titles appearing on screen and spinning in a medium-paced circle along the screen. Joon-woo frowned at the song titles. Drown by PXP, Lightning-erous by WildBoyz, LEAP by J2Harmony, and the names that surprised Joon-woo the most, U.U by MNIXX and Fire by STB.

U.U was not only a Girl Group song, but also known by the people as the song you either hate or like, and Fire made every contestant sweat. It had intense and well synchronized choreography and was known to be hard to master and do well. With the luck Team One had going for them, Joon-woo knew not to expect much, he just silently prayed for anything but Fire.

He looked at Mi Yong. Mi Yong was Winner's lead dancer. He had dance breaks in each music video and was at one point considered one of K-Pop's 4th gen best dancers. He gulped as Mi Yong seemed to intently stare at Fire with determination in his eyes.

"Contestant Mi Yong." Misa called, "As rank one, you get to take the first pick!" She announced and all eyes fell on Mi Yong, cameras too.

Mi Yong looked over to us, then to Joon-woo. He suddenly opened his mouth, "May I discuss with my team?" He asked, slightly tilting his head and loosening his stiff chance as if using his charm to swoon a 'yes'.

It seemed to work, as Misa nodded yes, granting the group a minute of discussion.

Mi Yong, rubbed the back of his neck, "Can we... we all dance?" He cautiously asked.

Various 'yeses' rang through the team. It was just Joon-woo, and the 50th-49th duo that didn't reply. Joon-woo awkwardly scratched at his collarbone as his team members eyes well on him. They had expected the last placed contestants to be no good, but 13th?

"Ah, Joon-woo are you not a good dancer?" Mi Yong asked, tilting his head in confusion.

Joon-woo ran his hands through his hair anxiously, "I'm not, Hyung." He quietly admitted, pierced through by the gazes of his surprised teammates.
