Chapter Index

    The next part for Seo Yu-jin, which I replaced, is Lee Hye-jeong.

    -Just as there is a meeting, there is also an end.

    -Just as flowers bloom and fall in winter.

    -oh fate is decided

    The rookies’ new song, , is a lyrical song that contains regrets about our rookies’ last activity.

    As expected from Lee Hye-jeong, who competes for the best vocal tone among Rookies, she captured the attention of the audience with her sorrowful yet powerful voice.

    -But this is not the end.

    Here, Park Yu-jeong, who has good balance, adds sound.

    Her face, which had been smiling the whole time… was filled with more and more happiness… and more and more sincerity.

    -Just as there is a breakup, there is a reunion.

    -As flowers bloom when spring comes

    Since she practiced harder than anyone else after the school bullying incident, her efforts shine even brighter and she stands out on stage.

    However, that does not mean that only Park Yu-jeong was visible on this stage.

    -rookies in your mind

    Na Hanna, who originally had a special talent for dancing…

    Based on the stable vocals obtained through hard work, they showed off choreography with much more depth than before.

    Na Hanna, who was a typical hip-hop dancer, has become an all-rounder who can show off her emotions and dance moves even in such a lyrical song.

    -Time to graduate

    Seo Yu-jin comes out after Na Hanna’s elegant choreography ends

    -but don’t be sad

    -This is for our greater love.

    Seo Yu-jin, the youngest of the eternal rookies.

    Even though she doesn’t stand out much compared to the other members in terms of dancing or singing… .

    As if it were a lubricant, each member’s part was connected to enrich the stage.

    This would have been unthinkable in the old days when people could do whatever they wanted… .

    Now she has become the blue bird of Rookies and plays around the stage like it is her own playground.

    And next to take center stage was….

    -What’s important is you

    -What’s important is the heart

    It was Yoo Seol.

    Smile.

    She captivated the audience with her unique details as soon as she appeared, and she generously displayed her talents on stage.

    -Eternal rookies

    -If only you don’t forget

    -Rookies who will remain in our hearts forever

    But it’s not excessive.

    It doesn’t erase the colors of other members.

    He moves in harmony with the other Rookies members, but reigns over them.

    He leads the members with soft charisma and captivates the audience with his beautiful voice.

    But this too was nothing more than a mere act of putting a stop to it.

    ‘now.’

    ‘Sister.’

    ‘Yerin.’

    When we’re all on stage together, there are moments when we can communicate without even opening our mouths.

    Even though we didn’t make eye contact… and even though we were each moving differently.

    I felt the members reaching out to me.

    I especially felt like Yoo Seol, the main character of the previous part, was pushing my back… .

    ‘show me.’

    I came to the center.

    -Time to graduate

    -Time to become a legend

    Han Si-woo said.

    The important thing is not to simply raise the pitch.

    If you can properly convey your emotions to the audience by making use of your unique tone… if you can express that through dance.

    That you can create an outstanding performance even without great singing ability.

    At first, I didn’t understand it and I couldn’t imitate it… .

    -Time to fall

    -Time to be engraved in your heart

    Now I can understand Han Si-woo’s training.

    I started to gain confidence in my vocals, which I thought was my weakness.

    The dance moves become more graceful and smooth as the vocals support them.

    And make the voice you want.

    Do whatever you want.

    Communicate with the members.

    Communicate with fans.

    -Now is the time for us to part ways

    -But Eternal rookies

    -Someday Time to bloom

    -For the day we meet again

    In it I laugh.

    be pleasant.

    Even without using the Cheonma Hwanhok, I can see the eyes of the fans who look at me fill with ecstasy.

    Even without using the Cheonma Wolyeongbo, I feel like a halo is wrapping around my feet.

    Cheonma is a being born with hatred for someone.

    I don’t hate anyone on stage.

    ‘I’m happy.’

    Receiving the love from fans and the warmth of the members.

    He is happier than anyone else, waving his feet, waving his hands, and making his voice heard.

    That was when.

    [You have met the conditions!]

    “… … !”

    I hadn’t touched anything in the status window… and then it suddenly rang.

    So I focused on the stage and glanced at the content out of the corner of my eye… .

    [Entering ?? state!]

    I wonder if there are still unknown areas in the status window that I haven’t discovered yet… .

    A strange phrase greeted me: ??

    but….

    [Some conditions are missing!]

    [?? Status Awakening Failed!]

    The status window said I failed to meet all the conditions yet, something I don’t know what??

    ‘what?’

    I was curious, but I didn’t really feel bad about failing to awaken.

    To be honest… I’ve achieved a lot of things I wanted to achieve through Rookies and through this stage.

    They wanted to be loved by the fans, and to do that, they wanted the Rookies to show a better side of themselves to the fans.

    I hope that the Rookies can complete their assigned time without any problems and have a beautiful farewell.

    Through practice and communication with the members, our rookies have become stronger and the fans have cheered us on even louder.

    ‘This moment right now… is so good… .’

    Not me, not us.

    “Waaa-!!!”

    “Rookies-!!!!”

    “Ha Ye-rin-!!!!!”

    “Gyaaa …

    “I love you!!”

    I finished the stage with a feeling of utmost satisfaction and happiness.

    “Haa… , haa… .”

    Even though my stamina stat was so high, I strangely found myself breathing heavily when the stage ended.

    I clutched my pounding heart and looked at the audience filled with placards filled with cheering messages and pink cheering sticks symbolizing the Rookies.

    Heart pounding.

    When I saw and heard the fans’ enthusiastic response, my heart started beating faster, as if it was telling me that it was too bad.

    Could it be because the end of Rookies is vaguely in sight?

    I was very sad that the stage was ending.

    And each and every stage was so precious.

    This last showcase stage was precious as it was very regrettable.

    I wonder if I’m the only one who feels this way… .

    Shh.

    The members had eyes filled with sadness, but the corners of their mouths were smiling.

    I waved to the fans while lightly hugging the members.

    “Waaa-!”

    They say flowers are the most beautiful just before they wither.

    Through this final showcase stage, Rookies… .

    It marked the beginning of the most beautiful and shining moment.

    **

    Things finally came to a head during a fan interaction after the stage.

    “… So, huhu… , thank you so much for coming to our last showcase… .”

    During the short break after the stage, our rookies promised themselves not to shed tears no matter what happened… .

    The eldest member and the most emotional, Lee Hye-jeong, burst into tears when she heard that this would be the last showcase during the Q&A session with fans.

    “Don’t cry!”

    “Don’t cry-!”

    “Ugh… .”

    If you tell me not to cry, I tend to cry even more.

    Lee Hye-jeong bowed her head and shed tears at the comfort of her fans.

    The other members who were comforting her also began to have tears welling up in their eyes.

    I didn’t cry either, but I couldn’t stop my eyes from getting wet.

    The time of communication with fans ended with a tearful party.

    And then there is a Q&A session with reporters.

    Perhaps conscious of the atmosphere, the reporters did not ask sharp questions.

    There were also reporters who asked questions with moist eyes, wondering if they were fans of the Rookies or if they were just emotionally immersed with other fans.

    but….

    “After Rookies disbands, I’m curious about the members’ future plans.”

    As expected, a reporter is a reporter… .

    There were also some who immediately broke the warm atmosphere.

    Of course, there are many people who are very curious about where the members will go after Rookies ends.

    This is a question we must answer someday.

    ‘… But still, it’s not a question that should be asked in this situation and atmosphere.’

    Since our first showcase, there have been many reporters who have been pestering us with questions like these.

    Maybe that’s why.

    “Right now, I want to focus on my current Rookies activities rather than that.”

    Yoo Seol, who grabbed the microphone to answer, smiled as usual and answered nonchalantly.

    Although she has not even been a year since her debut, her deep inner strength was felt.

    Aside from Yoo Seol, the other members were already used to the ridiculous questions, so they were able to answer the occasional strange question without any problem.

    And then… .

    “I would like to ask a question to Hayerin, the leader of Rookies.”

    A reporter pointed to me and asked a question.

    “There is no exact information about Rookies’ last concert yet. Could you, leader Yerin, tell us a little bit about it?”

    “… … !”

    As soon as the reporter asked that question, the room started to commotion.

    Rookies’ first and last concert.

    That was because it was an important event that fans did not want to miss.

    “… … .”

    Since this was also a question within the expected category, I held my tongue for a moment and stared at Director Jeong below the stage.

    and….

    Nod.

    I picked up the microphone only after seeing Director Jeong nod as if it was okay for him to speak.

    “The Rookies’ concert will be held over two days, the last day of Rookies’ disbandment and the day before.”

    “… … !”

    “And the place is…, Gocheok Sky Dome.”

    “… … Huh?!”

    When I said the date and place with a small smile, the fans and reporters were turned upside down.

    “… Really?!!”

    “Wow… , what the… !”

    “Wow, daebak… !”

    I understood the reactions of those fans and reporters.

    It was on a larger scale than we had expected… We were very surprised when we first heard the story.
