"We've received feedback from the network and Sera's agency. They've requested the possibility of extending Sera's stay by two additional days—making it a full week total."
The room goes quiet.
Dead silent.
Haejin's jaw tightens. His expression stays neutral but his hands clench.
Doyun's face flashes pure panic. Then horror. Then carefully controlled nothing.
Jisoo makes a small noise. Quickly covers it with a cough.
"However," Manager Park continues, his tone still pleasant, "we want to make this decision democratically. We're opening a viewer poll tonight. Fans can vote on whether they'd like Sera to stay for the extended period—a full week—or conclude her visit as originally planned at 5 days."
His eyes meet Sera's briefly. His expression is friendly. Pleasant.
But there's something underneath. Something calculated.
