Chapter 268 The Snowball of Luck (1)

I wasn't nervous at all.

'Me? Nervous? Just because of some news about being a contender for first place? No way, that can't be.'

"Hajin, are you really nervous?"

"Ye-es... ... Huh? No? What? Me? ... What did you say?"

"You're acting strange today...."

Once again, I wasn't nervous at all.

Even though I nearly stuttered about five times,

Almost got the name of a senior group, who are like gods, wrong about twice,

And almost mixed up the song introduction, I still managed to stay sharp and avoided any mistakes. There's no way I got this worked up just because we were nominated for first place, not even winning it...

'Wow. I really X want to be number one.'

In a moment of carelessness, my deeply suppressed desire slipped out.

To be honest, ever since we found out we were nominated for first place, I hadn't been in the right state of mind.

'No, didn't you expect this? You were somewhat mentally prepared for this, so why are you freaking out? At this rate, you'll cause a broadcasting accident.'

But seriously, I really want to be number one. Please, I'm begging you.

If we get our first win today, it'll feel amazing.

And I dressed up so nicely today.

If I can give a killer acceptance speech in this outfit, it'll make the shorts too, and that would be awesome.

Once I started wanting it, I couldn't stop the growing anticipation.

Because, to be honest, I felt like we were really going to win.

"Okay, let's move on to the next interview segment. MCs, focus!"

But the problem was that this wasn't the time to be daydreaming and losing my focus.

I snapped out of it when the cue sign hit like a bolt of lightning and pinched my thigh. Any more mistakes would be unacceptable as a professional.

"Hello! Nice to meet you. We're Lanion."

"Yes, hello~ Just like we rehearsed, take it easy!"

Moreover, the interview was with Lanion, who was about to make their debut stage.

I had already decided on the concept to counter them with #SeniorityVibes #BigBrotherVibes #TheTasteOfLegalAdults, so if I acted clumsy during the interview, that would be a disaster in itself.

"Yes, Lanion, quickly get into position. The song's about to end. 5, 4, 3...."

Lanion filed into the MC spot and took their positions. As I'd seen and heard many times before, they were surrounded by handsome faces. I briefly made eye contact with Cha Minseok, who was confidently taking the center spot, but we both quickly averted our gazes naturally.

Soon, the red light on the camera, indicating it was broadcasting, flickered on.

I spoke my lines smoothly as if I had never been nervous.

"A love story that makes fans' hearts flutter! We're here with Lanion, who will be performing their debut stage with 'Let you know.' Welcome!"

"Yes, we'll greet you! Hello! We're Lanion!"

First things first, this was the priority.

The interview went by without any major mistakes or accidents.
