"The result will be announced within the next few days. Please wait for a notification on your systems."

After saying that, Plotter and the Director, together with their entourage of staff members, walked out of Team 1's practice room.

Rayen sighed in relief. Everyone in the room also did so.

The past few weeks of being in this trouble team was a torture, but perhaps it was also a type of blessing. If they were united in the first place, then they wouldn't have focused on their individual performances.

Has Rayen's luck turned for the better after being plagued by numerous bad fortunes?

...

As the final round approached, the tension not only affected the remaining participants but also the fans supporting them.

Minji browsed through the Internet, leaving comments on posts regarding Rayen.

Her family had gone to a two-week out-of-the-country vacation, so currently, she's in the living room of Seoyun's family house, waiting for the start of the 11th episode.

Upon closing the posts on her social media accounts, she opened another tab in her phone's browser to check on something.

"Tsk." She clicked her tongue. "Still nothing?"

Flower Garden still hadn't announced any call for registrations for the onsite viewing of the live final episode. For the past few days, Minji had been constantly lurking on their website, trying to chance upon it.

She had been disappointed that she wasn't able to join the audience for 2nd and 3rd rounds' performance stages. Now, it would be the final episode. She definitely couldn't afford to miss it. No, there's no way she would.

She has to be there for Rayen to support him until the last day, so she stayed behind to apply for it.

Sighing, she headed back to her social media.

The first thing she encountered on her feed was the female version of Rayen blushing. It was taken from the scene when Rayen was panicking during the auditions.

'Saved.'

Minji thought while tapping the save button.

Other photographs and snippets followed that random post, all of it having a similar vibes with the first one she encountered — it was Rayen in his female version.

The series that AeMist uploaded on UCube had made great waves all over the show's fandom. Now, Minji's social media feed was filled with posts about it.

Minji appreciated the gesture from a fellow fan. After all, this fan made great strides on producing and editing these videos. But she didn't like how it was edited.

Why the hell was Rayen the heroine? He should be the male lead!

Nevertheless, she still continued to happily save those pictures that she thought were cute. From beside her, Seoyun watched as she giggled by herself.

Minji has been in a great mood lately. The speculation about Binh being the one who uploaded the "confession" clip was confirmed when his elimination was shown during the 10th episode. Thus, no one could now deny that Rayen was the hero and not the bully.

With that, Minji thrashed Rayen's haters all over the internet. Doing this, she felt like she had slapped their shameless faces.

Seoyun had witnessed this behavior for the past two weeks. And now, her silly best friend was once again giggling like some crazy sasaeng beside her.

'Is she bullying those poor haters again?'

Unable to bear it anymore, Seoyun finally asked, "What are you doing?"

"Saving my boyfie's dark past," Minji replied.

'Boyfie? Dark past?'

Without understanding her words, she just sneaked a peek at Minji's screen. Finally, she understood.

'Crazy.'

"I thought you don't like that series?" Seoyun asked.

"Yeah, I don't like it."

"Then why are you still saving those?"

"Nothing. Didn't you also use save hilarious photos of your crush?"

"..." Seoyun pursed her lips.

As she contemplated whether to kick this person out of her house, Minji finally stopped scrolling through her social media. She glanced at the time.

"It's time."

Seoyun also noticed it and changed the channel in their TV.

"Hey, hey, turn on the comments. I want to see who would trash talk Rara."

Seoyun shook her head.

'It's over. She's already gone to the dark side.'

But Seoyun still did as Minji requested. The comment section scrolled at a fast pace.

– It's here! It's here!

– HarYen, fighting!

– Who's here for NaYen ship?

– KLiRa for the win!

– The BL shippers had invaded our land...

– Why are there not any normal ships with Rayen? Isn't this show a co-ed? Where are the female participants?

– That's not the point! This is a survival show, not a dating show!

As the episode's preview ended, the scene had changed into the backdrop of a clear blue sky. This elicited various reactions with the audiences.

– ???

– Why is the weather so good?

The sky then turned into the sea. A drone shot of the participants' cruise also entered the scene.

– ?????

– What's this? What's this?

– I saw from the past week's trailer that this episode would be purely healing.

– Isn't it the middle of the winter? What are they doing in the middle of the sea? Don't they feel cold?

– The answer to that is money. Look at that cruise. That's too high-end, don't you think?

– I'm afraid they'd be sick, instead of being healed.

– Look at the weather and their clothes. It's too sunny. They look like they're even sweating buckets. They might not be in Korea.

– So, Flower Garden took them overseas to heal?

– Rich. Too rich. Why am I always being slapped with poverty whenever I watch this show?

– Nope. It's Flower Garden that's slapping you right now with money.

As Minji enjoyed the happy faces of the participants about to embark on the cruise, Minji wondered how to audition in Flower Garden.

Wouldn't it be fun? This agency looked rich as hell, and if she could get accepted, she might run into Rayen everyday.

'Ha. What a dream...'

Of course, that was just a brief thought. She continued watching the show with dreamy eyes. Whenever Rayen appeared on the screen, she couldn't help but squeal.

Such sparkling faces... How could AeMist think of Rayen as a heroine?

However, as the show continued, she couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.

"Hey, is it just me?" Minji turned to Seoyun.

"What about you?" Seoyun raised her brow.

"I feel like there's something strange with today's episode..."

"Huh? What's strange about it?"

Suddenly, Minji pointed at the screen. "Look."

Seoyun did as she said and saw a completely normal scene. It was just Rayen's zoomed in expression, looking around the place.

"What's wrong with that?"

"You missed it!"

"What did I miss?"

"That! That! Just look at the screen! Don't look at me!"

Despite the weirdness of the situation, Seoyun abided by her friend's wishes. It wasn't that uncommon that Minji would act crazy.

Fan girls are always crazy.

When the announcement of the roommate assignment came, the comment section was bombarded by laughter.

– lololol. Did they just put Rayen and Ren in a room together?

– This is crazy! I'm loving it!

– Is it just me? Why isn't anyone commenting about it? Today's editing seems strange.

The same comments with Minji also surfaced in the comment section.

– Right, right. Why did my heart just skip a beat when Rayen and Ren glared at each other just now?

– It seems like I'm not the only one...

– Don't you think it's possible?

– What do we think it's possible?

– Aren't they even more shippable? From enemies to lovers... Ahhh, it's so!

"....." Minji couldn't help but fall silent upon reading that comment.

That was what she was pointing to Seoyun. And it seemed like she wasn't the only one who noticed.

But no. It wasn't that her heart skipped a beat just like what the commenter said. It's just that today's episode seemed to always focus on Rayen's and Ren's rivalry.

Who in their right mind would even think they're shippable?!

She grabbed her phone and opened IdolRevive's episode on her own UCube app then headed to the comment section.

Her fingers furiously typed.

– HELL NO!!!
