As they flipped the papers, the screen revealed the competition songs in full.

[Vocal: Serenia – Musica

Rap: Sledix – Aniri

Dance: Gaon – Crucial Boy]

It was expected that there would be a song from Serenia since their members were featured on the screen. 

However, what caught my attention was the designated song for the dance position, Choi Gaon’s debut track Crucial Boy. 

“Oh… this is… I didn’t know either!” 

Even though it was his own song, and he could have reacted more, Choi Gaon glanced between his cue sheet, the screen, and the production crew, looking visibly flustered. 

A clear NG (no good) cut to anyone watching. 

“―Let’s take a short break!” 

The slate was dropped, and the head writer rushed over to Choi Gaon. 

At that moment, I realized what was going on. 

My head wasn’t clouded with alcohol like during my troublesome days, so the reasoning came easily. 

When I was appearing as ‘Rex,’ and now… 

…The song had suddenly changed. 

Previously, only the rap position changed, but now both the rap and dance positions had been altered. 

The original song for the dance position wasn’t Crucial Boy but another foreign pop song. 

But for Choi Gaon to make an NG at this exact moment, just because of a single song change? 

Choi Gaon is known for being a professional, someone who never makes an NG over something so trivial. 

There’s no way I’d forget the rare NG he made when I was on the same show.

“We’ll take a 10-minute break! Trainees, hydrate yourselves!” 

During that short break, my gaze naturally shifted to the two people I was most focused on—Logan and Liu Wei. 

First, Liu Wei. 

“……” 

Liu Wei, with an unreadable expression, covered his mouth with his right hand. 

Whether he was smiling or frowning, it didn’t matter. 

What mattered was… 

Liu Wei already knew how to perform Choi Gaon’s Crucial Boy perfectly. 

Since his debut with Arrows, Liu Wei had performed Crucial Boy in nearly every self-introduction he gave. 

And behind Liu Wei stood Director Shin Ki Ho, AG’s China expert. 

“Hey, Chunyong. Do you want some water? Your face is really pale.” 

“…Oh, thank you. I guess I was just surprised since I’m a fan of the Serenia seniors.” 

I casually accepted Yu Chan hyung’s kindness and discreetly wiped the cold sweat from the back of my neck. 

Then, I shifted my attention to Logan.

“Logan, which position do you want to take?” 

“Of course, Vocal. I’ve listened to Serenia’s music before!”
