TRYING TO DEBUT MY BABY, BUT I ENDED UP DEBUTING INSTEAD

C5

"Wow!"

Hyesung jumped up like a spring, startled by the loud noise that sounded like the door was breaking.

"I'm sorry!"

An immediate apology was heard. Someone had slammed the door in the adjacent stall so hard that the impact resonated through the stall where Hyesung was.

'I thought my eardrum was going to burst.

Hyesung almost scrunched her forehead in frustration but held back and composed herself.

'I can't let my face wrinkle up every time I get annoyed. It would be a disaster if the camera caught it.

She had deliberately come to a distant restroom, so if she was here, it meant the other floors were probably full. She calmed herself, thinking the person must have been in such a hurry that they almost broke the door.

'I should just leave now.!

Hyesung tidied up her clothes and got up.

Although she hadn't used the restroom, Hyesung, who was washing her hands vigorously, saw something strange in the mirror.

'Come to think of it, I look 19 now, but did I participate in the preliminaries looking like I was 27?'

She felt a chill run down her spine.

The average age of the participants in Season 5 of Supernova Project was 19.7, with most being in their late teens. The trainees in the waiting room earlier also looked to be in their teens.

'Am I going to get eliminated in the preliminaries?"

Moreover, she recalled how the youngest participant had spoken to her overly politely when she was leaving the waiting room, as if addressing an elder.

'Considering there's more than a ten-year age difference between us... well, that makes sense.

Hyesung thought of her real age of 27 as being very young in societal terms.

'People live to 100, so up to 50 is childhood. Even office workers are babies. Companies that make babies work overtime should be shut down.

However, in the midst of teenage girls who felt a significant age difference of just one or two years, especially among idol trainees, a 27-year-old worker used to overtime was indeed out of place.

'...I'm not old, but I'm worn out.'

Hyesung stared into space with empty eyes. She

looked exhausted despite having done nothing.

'No, my age has been officially changed to 19... And since Season 5 has fewer applicants, they'll probably let me pass.

She was already nervous, having finished the preliminaries at the start of her dream, and she couldn't even remember how she had auditioned.

'I won't let it go if I get eliminated, seriously. Hyesung raised a fist to the empty air in a pointless show of defiance.

Click.

The restroom door opened behind her, and the person who had entered the adjacent stall earlier appeared.

Swish.

The sound of strong water flow filled the quiet restroom.

Hyesung glanced at the woman bending over the next sink, washing her hands. The side profile she saw briefly looked very familiar.

'Isn't that Hyun Nana?"

She wasn't sure if this building belonged to MvN, but since it was the preliminary audition venue and the woman next to her had blonde hair like Hyun Nana, it
