Jinhyun was in a daze when he returned to his seat at the judge's panel. Everything was hazy for him as his mind was fixated on Cherry's rejection. No matter how many times he tried to win her over, she kept on pushing him away. Their relationship always returned to the same place without any progress. His heart was with her and even though she kept on crushing it, he continued to return to her. No matter how much he tried, there seemed to be no future to their relationship.
"And now, time for the most anticipated performance!" Sedong was saying. Jinhyun barely listened, but he was vaguely aware that he must push aside his thoughts about Cherry and focus on the show. Even if it was difficult, there was no place for sentiments in the cruel showbiz.
With a heavy heart, he tried to pay attention to the host on stage.
"Let me present to you, Yuri, Yoona and Semin!" Sedong roared. The audience erupted in cheers as it was the performance they were truly waiting for.
