Idol Factory- The first time I saw the performances on YouTube, I was screaming so loudly lol ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
- Gosh, it was so hard to vote between the two of them ㅠㅠ
- I think Team Like It Hot had four million views within a day. Probably because of Jimin? ㄴ(ㅇㅅㅇ)ㄱ
- But Team Jaws is so famous, though. Team Like It Hot's fans streams so insanely good 😩
The performances shown on tv recently finished, and the comments wouldn't stop flooding in. It was so hard to read that Minjeong had trouble observing the situation.
Displayed on screen was she and Jimin's team lined up onstage facing the audience. Each of their nervous faces was shown, except Minjeong's, which differed from the rest.
〈✨Minjeong is as calm as ever✨〉
In bold fonts, the camera zoomed into Minjeong's calm composure compared to the others, who looked like they would burst at any moment. Hence, it brought gags to the viewers.
Then, the scene flashed toward the judges' smiling faces.
「Jieun: Minjeong, she's holding that expression for a long time. Incredible, hahaha.」
「Jihye: She'd fit an AI concept, don't you think?」
「Soyeon: I'd say all of them would— especially Jimin. She's glowing today.」
Sooman nodded his head in agreement.
- Again, is she for real? 😂
- They're complimenting the ten of them omg
- Lineup when?! 😵
- Girlie is avoiding the lousy editing 😭😭😭
- How can someone not look nervous in the announcements twice a row? ㅠㅠㅠ She's a madwoman ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Minjeong looked expressionless as Ryujin and Yizhuo held tightly onto the latter's hand with uneasy faces.
「Boa: Please show us the top ten!」
The comments went on a rampage after revealing the top rankers regarding popularity. Minjeong even gave up looking at it and focused on the tv with a huff. They were filled with comments from Ryujin and Minjeong stans, from victory to confusion.
Most of the viewers felt terrible as they talked about how they downvoted Ryujin due to the recent controversy. When the votings opened, it was the same time as Ryujin's scandal appeared, and the latter thought it was because of that.
Though everything has been resolved, things are slowly going back to normal.
Then, the main stage ended with the contestants having fun while interacting with the fans. Nothing terrible happened in today's episode, and Minjeong sighed in relief.
Minjeong thought she could end the day with victory until— she was shown in the end credits wearing a bunny onesie. The warehouse's background caused the viewers to go crazy once again as the screen displayed the contestants clapping to their heart's content.
「Minjeong: Kka ppeum!~ Welcome!」
〈From Star Puppy to Star Bunny?〉
- WHHHAAAATTTTT?! ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
- This is going to be good ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
- She looks so cute ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
Minjeong's eyes widened, "Hell..." she facepalmed in embarrassment.
"That was one of the greatest punishments I've ever witnessed," Chaeryeong said while munching on her bowl of popcorn.
"Y'all better shut up about this."
Everyone in the room laughed.
Later, when the episode finally ended, Minjeong pat Jimin on the shoulder and pointed toward the kitchen to indicate she was thirsty. Jimin was about to trail behind the shorter when Ryujin stood up and got ahead of her.
Jimin fell in thought— Ryujin appeared as if she was in a hurry. Maybe she took this opportunity so she could talk to her as soon as possible? That she thought while pretending to listen to the others' conversation.
Meanwhile, Minjeong stretched her back and approached the water dispenser. She poured a mug of lukewarm water to relieve the raspy feeling skimming down . Looking directly back to the living room, she noticed Ryujin was walking toward her and halted sipping on her mug.
The kitchen is connected to the living room and can be seen through the sliding glass panels. Minjeong then recalled how the latter wanted to talk to her— probably about the confession days ago.
"Hey..." A meter apart, Ryujin took a deep breath and sat on one of the counters. "I remembered what happened a few days ago."
Minjeong guessed it, "Are you sure we should be talking about that here?" she briefly raised a chin toward the living room, where everyone started to play a card game, and Ryujin chuckled.
"It's fine. I don't think it's something that important." Ryujin looked up at the ceiling as if in thought, "Well, maybe it's important to me."
Unable to utter a word, Minjeong solely finished her mug of water and placed it on the counter. She waited for Ryujin to continue, which took a few seconds.
"Before I get to the point, let me ask you this." Ryujin cleare
