1st place is participant Ha Ye-rin-!!”
Boom-!!
Even though I hadn’t won the final championship, just scoring 1st place in the First Ranking Announcement made a small firework explode behind the stage as my name was called out.
Is that why?
Even though I achieved the desired 1st place….
“……”
I was so flabbergasted that I couldn’t say a word.
“Ha Ye-rin, please come up to the 1st place seat right now.”
“……Yes.”
At Han Si-woo’s words, I slowly climbed the stairs.
Thud-, thud.
Every time I made a step, I could feel the gazes of the other participants on me.
Jealousy and envy, admiration.
But the feeling I sensed the most was….
Awe.
Thud.
In common terms, a performer.
Moreover, out of all the trainees who hadn’t even debuted yet, I was ranked 1st.
Yet, as I reached the 1st place seat, the other participants looked up at me with their mouths agape.
“……”
I looked down at them once….
Puff.
…then sat down in my 1st place seat.
“Haah….”
As soon as I sat down, a sigh of release escaped me.
“……”
At that moment, I felt like I was under a spell.
It felt like I was dreaming, like I was floating in the air.
“…Ye-rin.”
I snapped back to reality due to Han Si-woo’s commentary.
He too seemed to be mesmerized as he looked at me and asked with trembling hands holding the microphone.
“…How do you feel about being ranked 1st in the First Ranking Announcement?”
Tap.
At the same time I heard his words, I noticed the microphone resting on the armrest of the 1st place seat.
As soon as Han Si-woo finished speaking, I took it.
But….
“……”
I couldn’t think of what to say.
‘Without the fans, I am nothing?’
‘This feels like an undeserved position?’
If I wanted to gain even a bit more favorable image, I’d have to say something humble.
But….
“……”
“……”
Just as I was about to speak, the gazes of the other participants made me freeze.
And at that moment….
I realized what I was intoxicated by.
My past life and this life.
Looking at me with such eyes after living a bottom-tier life….
