Chapter 17

You fixed your eyes, didn't you?

"Who made this?"

At So Ye-jin's question, both Yu-chan and Tae-woong's mouths moved simultaneously. The answer was already clear. The most decisive role in the choreography's completion was Gun-ja. He had memorized and recreated the entire theme song choreography on his own.

However, before Yu-chan and Tae-woong could speak, Gun-ja answered first.

"We all did it together."

"Really? Completely fairly?"

"Yes, I think so."

At Gun-ja's answer, Yu-chan and Tae-woong looked at him with admiring eyes.

'Why is this kid so amazing?'

If we were to divide contributions, it would be accurate to say Gun-ja did over 80%, with Yu-chan and Tae-woong each contributing around 10%. Gun-ja was the participant who could have boasted, 'I did it all,' like Yang Jeong-moo.

Yet, without any additional explanation, he said they made it fairly among the three.

To Yu-chan and Tae-woong, this was loyalty at its finest.

'I want to team up with this guy again...'

'Gun-ja, it's settled. You're my Avengers until the end.'

While the two were deeply moved, Gun-ja had to hide his anxiety.

'...Is it okay to say it was fair?'

All he did was recreate the choreography he remembered. The rest was done by Yu-chan and Tae-woong.

They helped turn rough moves into choreography, assisted with repetitive practice, and made me move like a real person.

But if he says it was fair, isn't that a bit lacking in conscience...?

Gun-ja, who was slightly troubled by his conscience, noticed that his colleagues said nothing. This made Gun-ja admire them in turn.

These friends now consider him a colleague.

What a heartwarming thing!

Despite some misunderstandings, it seemed Gun-ja's team was moved by each other.

As So Ye-jin's class ended and they prepared to return to their dorms, Yu-chan approached Gun-ja hesitantly.

"Hyung, thank you so much today."

"No, I should be the one thanking you."

"I thought you might get angry about me saying I teamed up with you just to get on TV, but you accepted it."

"No, I was actually touched by your deep filial piety."

"Hyung, you're a bit odd, but I think you're a good person."

Odd but a good person? Should he take that as a compliment? Yes, interpreting compliments negatively is the behavior of a petty person.

"Thanks to you, I didn't make any mistakes on stage today. Thank you."

Indeed, come to think of it. Yu-chan, who couldn't sing properly during vocal lessons, ended the stage without mistakes today.

"I also got praised by the trainer for the first time."

"Praises are nice."

"And... I hope we can be on the same team in the future."

"Sure, let's do that."

At that moment, a new sentence appeared in the status bar next to Yu-chan.

[Gi Yu-chan (17)] [Appearance: B (S)] [Singing: B (S)] [Dance: B+ (A+)] [Charm: C+ (S)] [Curse: Pressure (High chance of ruining the stage)] [Curse effect reduced by 30% when teaming up with Yoo Gun-ja]
"Wow."
