After Oh Heejun disappeared and the situation slightly calmed down, the two Overseers finally showed themselves. Oh Heejun's sudden disappearance was never linked with Rayen at all.

But from Mini Plotter's actions and words, Rayen could infer one thing.

This whole incident was probably instigated by none other than Plotter. Perhaps, not really instigated. Perhaps everything just happened coincidentally, but Plotter didn't take immediate action because of some ulterior motives.

And these motives probably had something to do with Mini Plotter's question.

Rayen shook his head.

'Maybe I'm just thinking too much...'

Still, it left a bitter taste in his mouth. Two people had suddenly disappeared.

What if he answered yes to Mini Plotter's question? Would he have destroyed Ren's phone along with Oh Heejun's?

Instead of two people disappearing, maybe there would have been three.

Rayen silently glanced at Ren before shoving everything to the back of his mind.

...

Even though such a big incident happened, the finals still loomed over the participants' minds. The pressure even intensified because of this.

The phrase "break time" had already become non-existent in the participants' dictionary, even though that was the thing they hoped for the most.

Especially the members of Team 1 who suddenly lost two members at once.

They wanted to rest their minds and bodies, but they couldn't, or else they would fall behind. With two missing members, their formation had been ruined, and they had to distribute their lines to the others.

The one especially affected the most was probably Adrian.

After the incident, although he remained the same responsible leader of the team, Rayen could sense his dispirited energy. The only thing Rayen could do was accompany his friend through his sorrow.

This supposedly big incident passed by just like nothing happened. No news made it to the public.

It was as if Ara and Oh Heejun's existence was wiped off the earth.

...

January 23.

The day of the finals finally arrived.

Bai Huanji followed the line of people entering the venue, holding a ticket in his hand. After the guard examined his ticket and determined that there was nothing wrong with it, he was finally allowed to pass.

Glancing around the dark hall and stage, Bai Huanji found his place. Beside him, there were two female fans excitedly talking with each other.

"I can finally see Rayen!!! I'm finally breathing the same air as Rayen once again! I thought I wouldn't be able to secure a seat at all!"

Although the friend with her had a calm face, her body also excitedly trembled as she nodded in agreement with her.

Bai Huanji smiled wryly. He could understand their feelings.

After Idol:Revive announced the opening of the registration for the on-site viewing of the final round, Bai Huanji had a hard time securing a seat for himself. The whole site was immediately flooded, slowing the server.

Luckily, he was able to secure a seat for himself.

After making sure that he was able to get a seat, he immediately booked a flight ticket to Korea. He even filed for leave for his classes just to attend the show.

All for one thing — he needed to see that person face to face.

Ever since he watched Xu Jiji's audition clip, he couldn't help but feel restless. Although he knew it was impossible, he kept thinking that he had a familial connection with Xu Jiji. More than even his own blood sister in the picture in his dorm.

That's why, ever since then, he followed Xu Jiji's journey on the show, even becoming his die-hard fan.

Now that he's in the same place as Xu Jiji, his heart couldn't calm down. Even his stomach was affected by his feelings.

Bai Huanji grabbed his stomach uncomfortably. The two girls beside him noticed this handsome gentleman's discomfort and glanced at him with worry.

"Hey brother, are you okay?"

He knew how to speak the language because of his sister, that's why he understood them. However, it was quite an odd feeling. It seemed as if even if he didn't know the language, he would still probably understand them.

Bai Huanji nodded and smiled. "I'm okay, thank you."

The two girls watched him with concerned eyes. Just then, one of them seemed to notice something.

"Hey, doesn't he look like someone?"

Even though the venue was a bit dark, Minji's eyes could still see the similarities.

"Who?" Seoyun asked.

"I think he looks like Jiji."

Seoyun blinked and glanced back at Bai Huanji once more. She swept her gaze from his head to toe, making Bai Huanji uncomfortable even more.

"I don't think so."

"Huh? You can't see it?"

Seoyun shook her head. "He's too tall for a comparison."

"I told you to look at his face, not his height!"

"Stop looking, Minji. It's rude gawking at someone else. I also can't see clearly in this dark."

Even though the two girls had been talking among themselves, he could still hear bits and pieces.

'So, I looked like him, huh?'

Minji still continued observing Bai Huanji. Seoyun sighed and apologized to Bai Huanji.

Feeling his heart and stomach acting up in nervousness, Bai Huanji stood up to go to the restroom.

"I told you that what you're doing is rude!" Seoyun berated Minji.

...

Away from the audience area, Bai Huanji walked down the hallway and finally found the restroom. After relieving himself, he washed his hands.

Noticing that it was almost time to take his medication, he took out a handful of pills. He also grabbed a bottle of water in his backpack.

Just then, the door to the restroom opened. Bai Huanji glanced at the door and froze.

Two pairs of eyes met each other.

"....."

"Ajiji, what are you standing there for? Hurry up!"

Xu Jiji remained standing on the door.

"X-Xu Jiji?!" Bai Huanji muttered.

What the hell is with this coincidence?

Bai Huanji came here for Xu Jiji, but he didn't expect to meet him in the restrooms at all.

Shouldn't the show's participants have their own restrooms? And wait, shouldn't this be the men's restroom?

Oh, right, Xu Jiji is not a girl.

He would always mistake Xu Jiji's gender because of his little sister.

"Ajiji?"

Seeing that Xu Jiji ignored her and continued staring inside the restroom, Xi Huan was gripped with curiosity. Her head popped out beside Xu Jiji.

"What are you looking at? Did you see some peepee?"

Hearing Xi Huan's vulgar words, Xu Jiji's face reddened. He immediately elbowed her. "Stop looking into the men's room!"

Xi Huan nimbly dodged while giggling. Just then, she noticed Bai Huanji's presence in the restroom.

"Eh? Ajiji? When did you get taller?"
