Chapter 67: FAMILIAR MELODY
SENSING the surrounding cameras, some contestants made exaggerated expressions, their eyes widening and smiles growing as they performed for the lenses. Others reacted more subtly—some straightened their posture, smoothing their clothes, while a few flashed confident smiles that showed their familiarity with being filmed. A few appeared more reserved, their gazes flicking to the cameras before looking away, trying to maintain a calm demeanor despite the excitement. Some exchanged quick glances with each other, silently communicating as they took in the luxurious surroundings.
Haneul carefully aimed for a natural balance. He didn't want to seem overly enthusiastic, but he also didn't want to come across as indifferent. Striking the right middle ground felt like the best approach in this situatioe on, everyone, follow along," a staff member called out, grabbing everyone's attention that started to wander after seeing the cameras around.
Everyone started moving forward again as the staff led them to what appeared to be a huge ballroom. Inside, there were ten rows of seats arranged in a 10 by 10 grid, totaling around a hundred—exactly matching the number of contestants present. At the front of the room, a makeshift stage had been set up, with a large projection screen positioned above it.
"Please sit in an orderly manner," one of the staff members instructed.
Since there were cameras around and no one wanted to be seen as disorganized or inattentive, the contestants quickly complied.
Robin narrowed his eyes at the number one guy. This person didn't actually fall in love with Haneul in that short time, right? But, after noticing the indifferent expression on his face, Robin quickly dismissed the idea. That uncaring look said it all. Sitting next to Haneul without even a hint of reaction? It seemed almost absurd.
Satisfied that he'd found his answer, Robin breathed a sigh of relief. He had actually promised Aunt Eunji that he would look after Haneul. There was no way he would let someone with impure intentions try to get close to Haneul. They were here to debut, and not to date, after all.
As Robin was having those thoughts, Haneul was looking around at the other contestants. He had been trying to find the people who became Boys Odyssey's final debut group members since they got off the bus. But with 100 contestants to sift through, it was no easy task. And so far, he hadn't seen any one of the five.
It was only natural for him to search for them. Despite three of the five being quite problematic, they had still won the survival program in his original world, currently making them his biggest competitors on this show.
Haneul was just about to glance to his left, which he had been avoiding because Jung Taeyang was sitting there, when the ballroom lights suddenly dimmed. Moments later, the projection screen lit up. A group of men appeared in what looked like a practice room, dressed in casual workout clothes and clearly resembling a dance crew.
Then, a very familiar melody reached Haneul's ears.
