Just like that, the first team's scores by the judges were flashed on screen one by one with an intense sound effect that made the audience feel the excitement. As they witnessed the high scores, almost everyone screamed at the top of their lungs, perhaps rooting for this group filled with young and talented members.

Mei suddenly felt the pressure in the opposite team. She looked at Jung Hoon feeling tensed at the corner, hoping that they can beat the total. It's time for him to debut and that's for sure.

She watched him relieve his team mates by slightly patting them from the back trying to keep them optimistic. He has that leader vibe, as he is named the eldest of the group. Somehow, it reminds her of her training days with Hyeri. The way she sees herself in that scenario is quite reminiscent.

"And now, for the second team's scores..."

At that point, fans started to close their eyes afraid of the possible results. However, Mei kept her eyes wide open while she let the rush of her adrenaline take over her.

She focused herself to the black screen until my eyes were about to dry off.

"... What?"

The female widened her eyes on the blinding black screen with numbers on it. She focused herself on the last number written which is continuously buffering through his mind. It's as if the world slow motioned as she felt her heartbeat drop.

What? She repeated,

and repeated,

and repeated...

Now it's over. Hundreds of reactions blown the auditorium creating noises. Some are screaming at the top of their lungs, and some are grumbling of disappointment. It was not long when an amount of confetti fell all over the place and party poppers started popping along with the smoky stage. They saw the youngsters of the first team bursting into tears while hyung-line initiated a group hug. they Jumped and yelled as if it's a win forever.

Mei remained frozen. 'Just what the hell was that?' she thought at her mind all over and over again until her eyes were about to dry off.

"How do you feel right now?" The emcee asked the leader of the group while they were having a moment together.

"I thought we'd lose it because we're all still young to debut. However, I realized that the stage limits no boundaries. I'm glad that our group is given the opportunity to showcase ourselves and develop our baby flaws as a team."
