They said you only get one shot to make a first impression.
(Y/N) made hers feel like an earthquake.
The next morning, the dorms buzzed with talk of her entrance. Even trainees from other teams were whispering about the new girl—the one with the walk, the presence, the audacity.
Hana passed (Y/N) a bottle of water as they got ready for another round of evaluations. "You're literally trending," she whispered. "Even the staff is watching your fancams."
(Y/N) gave a half-smile. "Good. Let them."
But deep down, she knew the real storm hadn't even started yet.
From the moment Taehyung walked into the training complex, the temperature shifted. Conversations stopped. Eyes widened. Some hearts fluttered—and others clenched with fear.
He was elegance. He was chaos. And he was staring directly at her.
In the background, producers whispered:
"We weren't expecting him this early." "He asked to train with Group A." "He said he wants to observe... her."
For (Y/N), the rules of the game had just changed.
And this time, the stakes were personal.
"Let's break the ice," the producer announced, stepping into the training room. "Before we jump into more evaluations, we want everyone to introduce themselves. One by one. Show us who you are."
A girl with lavender hair stepped forward first. "Annyeong! I'm Soojin from Busan. I've been training for four years and I specialize in vocals and dance."
Next was a tall, serious-looking girl. "I'm Minji. Rapper. Trained with Cube for two years before transferring here."
Then came Hana. "I'm Hana. I've been dancing since I was eight. I want to debut more than anything."
One by one, the trainees introduced themselves. Some were confident, others shy, all eyes subtly flicking toward the same corner of the room.
Toward her.
Finally, the room quieted.
All attention shifted as (Y/N) stepped forward.
And the moment she opened her mouth—the air changed again.
