Showcase.
Before the album release, it’s an event where idols showcase their stage and songs to reporters and fans, a rite of passage for everyone.
NAS Entertainment has decided the monumental showcase location for the Rookies…
“Wow…, it’s been a while since I’ve been this way.”
“Even though I wasn’t the one driving, I remember this road clearly.”
…which is the Na Ah Ah set.
Thanks to that, we ended up having to experience Na Ah Ah PTSD while moving by car.
“Maybe it’s because we’re on our way to the Na Ah Ah set, but suddenly I remember when Seol unnie sincerely told me to get off if I wasn’t going to take it seriously…”
“……”
As I spoke in a playful tone, Yoo Seol turned a little red and tried to change the subject.
“Do you remember what unnie said to me back then? ‘Ye-rin, get a grip. You and I are competitors. If you’re going to live so half-heartedly, you might as well get off. Just by being here, someone who’s desperate is missing out on a chance….’”
“Stop it…, stop it…!”
And when I reenacted what Yoo Seol said back then in an acting tone, she finally hastily stopped me.
Of course…, the other members had all heard it by then.
“Haha! Did Seol unnie really say that?”
“What to do…, Seol unnie is scary….”
Using this moment, the same-aged member who had been suppressed by Yoo Seol started teasing her.
To this, Yoo Seol replied with a flushed face and a crawling voice.
“I was really desperate back then….”
Seeing this cute side of Yoo Seol after a long time made me think about teasing her more…
‘…Huh?’
…there was something in her previous remark that caught my attention, so I asked.
“…So, does that mean you’re not desperate now?”
“No…, that’s….”
It wasn’t meant to be an attack on Yoo Seol, but once I said it, it turned out to be quite a sensitive comment.
Yoo Seol flinched at my question and then slightly lifted her head to answer.
“Well, it’s not that… just….”
“……”
“Certainly…, it feels a bit different compared to back when we were Na Ah Ah.”
That’s right.
Including me, the six members here were really fierce and desperate in Na Ah Ah.
We lived each day with the resolve to win, to debut.
But now that our debut is confirmed, it feels definitely different…
It’s not that we’re not working hard…, but the fierce rivalry from the Na Ah Ah days feels absent.
‘Maybe it’s because there are no longer competitors who would kill or be killed….’
I thought as I glanced back.
The members who were competitors during Na Ah Ah were laughing and chatting with each other.
As soon as I saw that scene, I couldn’t help but smile.
