The situation was smoothly descending into chaos.

“No, wait a minute. I really don’t intend to do this! He forced me to recommend him!”

“You’re the one who suddenly wrote my name!”

Yoo Geon and Seo Taehyun, who had driven each other to the edge, expressed their desire to withdraw.

However, Lee Doha was relentless.

“As a voter, I have the right to evaluate the qualifications of the nominated candidates and to cast my rightful vote. If you two are the most suitable talents to lead our group, then I must vote for you.”

“So, what do you mean by that…?”

“If you really think you’re not fit to be the leader, try to persuade me with your speech.”

“No, no. I’m telling you, I’m just going to withdraw!”

In response to Yoo Geon’s objection, Lee Doha replied in a serious tone.

“When you carve your name somewhere, you should remember that there might be no turning back, and you should have a sense of responsibility and weight.”

“What are you talking about…?”

“I don’t know. But somehow, when he says it, it sounds like it makes sense.”

‘Is this why having a good image is important?’

If Kang Hajin had said it, Yoo Geon and Taehyun would’ve immediately grabbed an eraser to wipe it off the board. But somehow, they were swayed by Doha’s serious sophistry, thinking, ‘Is that so?’

In the next scene, an interview with Lee Doha was spliced in.

<Doha: Actually, I didn’t intend it like that at first…>

Sitting in an empty classroom for the interview, Lee Doha scratched his forehead as he answered the production team’s question.

<Doha: I thought it might be a good opportunity for Taehyun and Yoo Geon to feel the weight of their names. There will be many similar situations in life ahead…>

<Doha: Plus, since both of them are about to turn twenty, it’s also a chance to learn about the responsibility of voting and elections.>

In response to the production team’s bewildered reaction, Doha revealed the truth in a very calm voice.

<Doha: I was a bit surprised that they both accepted it so readily.>

<Doha: To be honest, I was just joking because I thought it would be fun.>

“He’s lost it too, hasn’t he?”

“Right, you’re a Kairos too…”

“Doha, who makes jokes like a public service announcement from the election committee?”

“I should’ve known from the moment he followed Kang Hajin over the wall.”

In any case, as Yoo Geon and Seo Taehyun got caught up in Lee Doha’s ridiculous logic, the Kairos leader selection contest descended into chaos with six candidates and one vote.

Now, except for Joo Eunchan and Dan Haru, everyone started worrying about how to effectively appeal, ‘Please don’t vote for me.’

“Alright…. Then, shall we start with the candidate speeches?”

The first speech was by Jung Siwoo, who was given priority as the eldest.

“I have something to confess to you all.”
