Yes, we did it!”

“Let me see!”

…They successfully entered the charts.

[73rd Place: Secret Girl – Rookies] New!

And it’s at a whopping 73rd place…!

At first glance, it might not seem impressive, but in reality, it was huge.

Unlike other songs in the Top 100 chart that secured their spots based on 24-hour views, our Rookies’ [Secret Girl] charted with just 1 hour of views.

Since they debuted at 73rd, it’s clear they’ll only rise from here.

“Yay-!”

“This is amazing!! Totally amazing!!”

Thanks to that, our Rookies immediately transformed into a festival atmosphere.

Seo Yoo-jin, Park Yoo-jung, and Na Han-na, the Rookies’ YBs, jumped around the living room, shouting, while Lee Hye-jeong and Yoo Seol didn’t overdo it but had satisfied smiles on their faces.

After the chaos, as the ‘pretend leader’, I suggested to the members.

“Okay, now that we’ve confirmed our entry on the charts, how about we sleep? It’s 1 AM, and we have to get up at 6 AM tomorrow.”

It seemed everyone forgot about it; I reminded them that our relaxation period was officially over.

From tomorrow, tough schedules awaited us again.

Hearing my words, the other members finally nodded with gloomy expressions.

“Ah… right…”

“Yeah… hell’s wheel begins again from tomorrow…”

Starting next week, we would have to rotate through different broadcasting stations and appear on music shows, so the upcoming schedules were bound to be even tougher than now.

Realizing we needed a break, we temporarily set aside our excitement from entering the charts and hurried to our rooms to sleep.

I took my roommate Seo Yoo-jin with me and lay down on my bed.

Seo Yoo-jin, who naturally lay beside me, still wore a bright smile.

“Are you that happy, Yoo-jin?”

“Of course! How difficult is it to chart in just an hour? Our SAV seniors could never hit 73rd in just one hour! I’m so proud of our Rookies!”

Indeed…, it was nearly impossible to chart so quickly after [Secret Girl] changed from the real-time charts to the Top 100 on the music streaming site ‘Watermelon’.

Yet, our Rookies pulled off that nearly impossible feat.

To summarize the reasons…

First, the song [Secret Girl] was just that good.

Second, Na Ah Ah’s popularity exceeded all imagination.

Lastly, the current idol scene was void of any real superstars.

Among girl groups, none were part of the top three agencies, and most major boy groups were at the end of their activity periods, so their firepower was weakened.

It felt like our Rookies were knocking on the doors of an empty giant castle in the idol world.

“Tomorrow, our rank is going to go up even more. So, let’s sleep already.”

“Okay, hehehe.”

With that, Seo Yoo-jin closed her eyes, trying hard to sleep like a child waiting for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve.
