"It's time," the producer said, voice booming across the room. "For our first mission: the Style Evaluation."
Each trainee was given ten minutes to choose an outfit, a theme, and a song that best represented their style. Confidence. Identity. Star quality.
(Y/N) didn't hesitate. She headed straight for the racks, fingers flying.
Her pick? A black cropped blazer, red plaid skirt, sheer tights, and combat boots. Statement earrings. Lined eyes.
Her theme? Rebellion.
Her song? "Easy On Me" by Adele — a stripped-down remix with dark synths and emotional grit.
The others picked flashy concepts: glitter, sequins, bright colors. She picked truth.
As she took the stage alone, Taehyung leaned in. "Let's see if she can make vulnerability look powerful."
The lights dimmed.
(Y/N) started to sing.
Her voice was raw velvet — soft but sharp, every note like an exposed nerve. The melody wrapped around the room like smoke. The beat pulsed under her words.
"I had good intentions…" she sang, voice cracking perfectly.
In the shadows, her ex froze.
She looked straight at him.
And smiled.
He swallowed hard.
Jungkook shifted. Felix leaned forward. Even Karina's face softened for a second.
When she finished, the room didn't just clap — it erupted.
Taehyung was on his feet. "That," he whispered, "was a weapon."
The judges deliberated. The rankings for the Style Evaluation were posted.
1st: (Y/N)
2nd: Minji
3rd: Hana
And somewhere near the bottom… was her ex.
