Tiffany Lynch tugged at the corner of her mouth, her gaze falling on Hannah's face.
No smile came.
From time to time, the murmurs of others around them could be heard.
"...Smile 9, huh? I sneaked over to watch their rehearsal before, that's Tiffany Lynch, right? She talks better than she sings, at least she doesn't go off-key..."
"Their team's relationships are so bad, aren't they? Tiffany Lynch doesn't seem to say anything wrong, but why does it feel so uncomfortable when you listen to her?"
"I heard it's because there was someone in the team who couldn't sing, so all the parts were given to Hannah Winter. She must be so exhausted as the center. It might be better if she went solo, earning money but also having to share it with the others, tsk, tsk, tsk..."
It wasn't until Teresa Gordon walked over that the whispering crowd hastily dispersed.
