Chapter 55

I didn’t know the Insight ability was applicable in situations like this too, but if I thought about it, there was no reason why it wouldn’t. This was an ability that allowed me to gain a deep intuitive understanding of the world. Besides the limit that I could only use it once a day, this was a truly cheat-like ability. The activation period didn’t last for long and after all sorts of ideas popped into my head, it ended.

Ding.

The speed of the world returned to normal, and I was inflicted with a spell of dizziness. Yet, there was a pressing topic that needed my immediate attention.

“Hey guys.”

“Huh?”

“Do we still have the hanbok outfit we wore last time?”

“Ah, yeah?”

“It’s probably inside the car trunk.”

“You want us to wear hanbok again?”

“No, not for wearing. But if it’s possible, could you bring them all out?”

“Right now?”

“Yes.”

The first person to move under my request was Yeon-Hoon. It seemed he caught onto what I was planning to do first. Even though he was usually slow, he acted unusually fast today.

“Do you need anything else?”

“Um, could you also get scissors, tape with a strong adhesive, and a pin? I don’t think I have time to do sewing right now.”

“Ah...Okay!” Yeon-Hoon shouted and moved outside the waiting room.

“Sewing? What are you talking about?” Do-Seung appeared like he had no idea what was going on, and Woon also appeared doubtful about my suggestions.

“Are you trying to change our outfits right now?”

“Like seriously repair them right now?”

“Yes, I’m going to mend the clothes.”

“Are you crazy?”

“Tae-Yoon, even so, this is a bit too much...it’s not like we are professionals.”

They seemed uncertain whether I would do a good job repairing the clothes. I also couldn’t be completely certain of my abilities either, but I knew this was the only way.

“It’s not like we can go outside wearing ripped clothes,” I said. It wasn’t as if we had a choice, and I added, “If it’s not good, we can just go out nude.”

“What did you say?”

“You are crazy. Just crazy.”

“Haaa...I don’t know...”

My group members were at a loss as to what to do.

“I will try to make the clothes similar somehow. Truthfully, it can’t get any worse than this.” The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.

My group members stood still, unable to say anything. It was because they knew I was right. If we went up the stage with what we were wearing right now, we would be ridiculed and mocked. Pictures of us would spread across the internet, and we would be brought up whenever the topic of doomed idols was mentioned. Thus, we needed to try something to fix our outfits before our performance.

“And rather than going up on the stage with ripped clothes, we will make more impact by ripping our clothes and showing some bare skin anyway,” I said. I genuinely thought our situation couldn’t get much worse than now so it didn’t matter what changes I made on the clothes.

“Ha...”

“This is so sad...”

Do-Seung and Woon sighed and backed away.

“What if I just use some personal funds right now and get us some new outfits...?” Dong-Jun suggested.

“It’s too late now.”

There wasn’t time for us to get new outfits matching our sizes.

“I brought it, Tae-Yoon!” Yeon-Hoon then brought the past outfits from the car. They were the hanbok that we wore at the last performance. “Here it is. The producers also let us borrow their scissors and tape.”

“Those will be enough.”

I used the clothes and scissors that Yeon-Hoon handed me and ripped the clothes.

“Ahhh....”

—It looks like you had an outfit change. What happened?

Though he tried to hide it, there was a strange sense of expectation in his voice. His eyes naturally turned towards the Siren’s maknae, Bong Tae-Yoon.

“I mended it myself,” Tae-Yoon said. This was the answer he had been wanting.

“Ha, seriously,” he laughed humorlessly.

‘This is it!’ he shouted inside his mind and apologized.

—Sorry for cutting you guys off. Let’s continue.

He placed his megaphone down and backed away. He had a good feeling about today’s show too.

***

The rehearsal was over.

“Good work.”

“Good job everyone!”

There were many harsh dance moves mixed with a difficult formation. It was certainly not an easy performance, and the difficulty rose since it was our first time collaborating with the dancers.

“That was splendid!”

“You guys were so cool~”

Yet, we were able to finish our rehearsal without a single mistake. We all went down while high-fiving the dancers, and while going down, I heard some more comments about our outfits.

“The outfits look different from the pictures we saw before. Did you mend them on the spot?”

“Yes, we did it on our own.”

“The design is so good. You have talent in this area too.”

“No, it’s not much.”

“I told you our maknae is a genius.”

“Ah, stop it Dong-Jun...”

“Our Tae-Yoon is really a genius!”

“But this outfit really surprised me.”

“When did you learn a skill like this, Tae-Yoon?”

It appeared everyone thought well of our outfits, and whenever someone complimented me, my group members boasted about me. Since the rehearsal was getting filmed, these scenes would probably air on TV. Thus, I carefully minded my expression so that I wouldn’t appear too arrogant.

“Then, let’s see each other a bit later when we are doing the performance.”

“All right!”

“See you guys later!”

After separating from the dancers in the hallways, we moved to the waiting room. Perhaps, because our outfit problem was solved and the rehearsal ended with no problems, our mood improved. Optimistic energy poured out of us after solving a crisis.

“Haaa.”

“I have a really good feeling about today,” my group members said.

My mood was also pretty good.

“Let’s relax for a bit and roughly match our movements one more time before going on stage!”

“Okay!”

And in that good mood, we tried to enjoy our last break before the official shooting.

‘There’s three hours remaining.’ There was still a lot of time left. It would probably be over in the blink of an eye if we ate and did a couple of other things, but there was no need for us to rush things. I was about to monitor the comments while watching episode 1 and assess the situation when suddenly, I heard a voice.

[A surprise mission]

‘What...?’ Out of the blue, a damn mission fell on me. What in the world?

[Find Only One’s member, Kang Hyun-Sung.]

[Upon success, you will gain Precognitive Vision.]

[Upon failure, Only One will drop out of the program.]

This was unbelievable.

‘Damn it.’ It appeared that this system was never going to give me a break.
