Sourcebook
Intro
From 5th to 2nd place. The names of the four people who grasped the dream of debuting were called out one by one. Kwon Jaesung, Seok Hamin, Yeon Minwoo, Seong Jinhu—all those who had been close. Someone cried, and someone repeated their own name over and over as if they couldn't believe it. As they hugged and congratulated each other, endless applause and cheers erupted from the audience.
But even amidst all the celebrations, one spot still remained on the stage. Only one. 1st place.
...Now.
There is truly only one last spot remaining.
The names of the two candidates for 1st place appeared side by side on the large electronic display. As the screen switched, the faces of the two candidates were shown alternately. One of them had a stiff expression, lips pressed tightly together. The other was trying to smile, but the fingers resting on their knees were moving incessantly. No one could breathe easily. Even the sounds of cheering that had filled the venue until a moment ago died down in the audience. Someone clasped their hands in prayer, and someone clutched their lightstick to their chest. Even the staff members holding cameras below the stage minimized their movements and looked only at the host.
I'm getting quite nervous myself.
Jung Sunhyuk paused for a moment. That brief silence felt exceptionally long.
Tonight's final winner is...
Thump. The bass of the background music echoed lowly.
Congratulations.
Final 1st place is!
The display went black. And a moment later. In the center of the screen, a large number appeared.
It's trainee Guest!
Instantly, a roar of cheers erupted, loud enough to make the ears go numb.
Trainee Guest! Please give us your thoughts!
Jung Sunhyuk's voice reached out.
Strength wouldn't stay in your legs. Even though it was only a few steps, the floor felt unfamiliar. With every step you took, the cheers from the audience grew louder. It was a sound meant for you. It was a voice calling your name. Finally arriving at the center of the podium, Guest was handed the microphone.
Thank you so much...
Applause poured out again at the barely uttered words.
To be honest, I... I didn't think my name would be called as the winner here. The end of the sentence trembled slightly.
Pausing for a moment, Guest bowed deeply. Tears dripped down your cheeks.
Thank you truly. I will never let you down...
At that moment, another massive cheer erupted from the audience.
Debut. It was the word you had waited for so long.
