After courage training ended, we washed up lightly and gathered in a room for bedtime.

Of course, the teasing from the members continued until then.

“Sis, are you scared thinking about ghosts while you sleep? Should we tuck you in?”

“Yoo-jung, stop….”

“Haha.”

“Yeah, Yoo-jung. Stop teasing Ye-rin. What if she cries again?”

“Hahaha-!”

“Hoho.”

“……”

I felt wronged.

Honestly, I didn’t cry, but when the production team suddenly startled me, a little water just trickled from my eyes due to a physiological reaction, and I hated the members for always insisting that I was crying.

“Che.”

“Oops, Ye-rin is sulking.”

Turning my back to them and facing the wall, Seo Yoo-jin approached me, wrapping her arms around my waist to comfort me.

“Sis, it’s okay. I’m here for you.”

“Yoo-jin….”

Thanks to her, I almost felt touched for a moment, but…

“And being scared of ghosts is a valid reason to cry a little.”

“……Get away from me.”

Seo Yoo-jin was definitely on the same team as the others.

Feeling betrayed, I pushed Yoo-jin away, and the members laughed again.

Just then, amid the commotion, there was a knock knock.

“Yes~ come in.”

At the sudden knock, the already prepped members turned their heads toward the door, and…

“Oh, you all seem to be ready for bed. I hope I’m not intruding.”

“No, it’s fine. What’s going on?”

Director Jeong, looking a bit tired as well, entered.

“I just wanted to discuss tomorrow’s schedule.”

“…….”

The mention of tomorrow’s schedule stiffened the members’ expressions.

They were worried that it might be another day of grueling work like today.

But…

“Tomorrow’s schedule is completely free.”

“……!”

Director Jeong said something completely contrary to our expectations.

He was known to be strict with schedules and a bit of a taskmaster.

But what? Free tomorrow?

Eyes wide open, I asked Director Jeong incredulously.

“Free…? So, does that mean we can do whatever we want?”

“Yes, that’s correct.”

“Wait, why all of a sudden….”

The members, puzzled along with me, tilted their heads, and Director Jeong chuckled lightly before responding.

“It’s true that Rookies have been working hard, right? More than that… I thought showing the members resting and healing freely would fill the broadcast time quite well, so I made this decision.”
