“Congratulations! The participant who placed 4th in the final personal vote is… the trainee from Heist Entertainment, Na Han-na!”
Waaahhh-!!
As Na Han-na claimed the final 4th spot and joined the Rookies, the audience erupted in cheers.
But among them…
“Aaah…”
There were also fans of Na Han-na voicing their disappointment.
And who could blame them? In the last vote, Na Han-na had outperformed Seo Yoo-jin, who placed 4th, by a significant margin, rising up to 3rd.
Her fans must have hoped she’d finally escape her long-standing 4th place and aim even higher in the finals, only to see her slide back down. Disappointment was inevitable.
Honestly, I thought Na Han-na had a higher chance of placing 3rd or even better, so I couldn’t help but be surprised she settled for 4th.
‘She must be disappointed… Did Han-na get let down?’
Worried, I scanned Na Han-na’s face to see if she was truly upset.
And then, Na Han-na said…
“…Thank you for the support. I could debut in Na Ah Ah because of my fans. I’ll continue to work hard.”
With a face that expressed enough satisfaction even with just 4th place, she wrapped up her speech concisely.
Such a typical Na Han-na response made me smile and applaud.
The audience seemed to resonate with her unwavering character and rallied in support, momentarily forgetting their disappointment.
“I love you, Na Han-na-!!!”
“Let’s do even better in Rookies-!!”
Thus, the Rookies were filled with 18-year-old contemporaries Park Yoo-jung and Na Han-na…
And four spots remained: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 6th.
Next up was the announcement for 3rd place.
“The 3rd place goes to… SAV Entertainment’s Seo Yoo-jin!”
Waaahhh-!!
With Na Han-na securing the 4th place, it was pretty much a given that Seo Yoo-jin would claim 3rd.
Consequently, Seo Yoo-jin’s fans, I, and even Han Si-woo who was announcing, congratulated her without too much fuss as she officially secured 3rd place.
But…
Thud.
“Yoo-jin…?”
Surprisingly, the very person herself, Seo Yoo-jin, slumped in her seat when her name was called.
I was startled and leaned down to check, finding her in tears.
“Hic…”
As I approached her…
Hug.
She pulled me in tight, burying her face in my shoulder.
“Thank you… really, thank you… unnie.”
“……”
“If it wasn’t for you… I wouldn’t have been able to debut. I truly mean it…”
I definitely didn’t have any memories of Seo Yoo-jin from a past life.
Perhaps the Yoo-jin from a previous life had faced a setback and failed to debut.
