Chapter 336 - 336

Chapter 336

Seleste has always been thoroughly prepared.

In order to adapt to the concert stage, they practiced continuously for at least a few days before and rehearsed.

Even the day before the music show comeback, they thoroughly prepared by reviewing the choreography that they had practiced thousands of times from the beginning until late at night.

It has been over a year since everyone started moving as one body under the direction of Song Hyung-bin, the leader with a very meticulous personality.

Of course, it was impossible for members with such personalities not to have carefully checked everything before their first university festival stage.

However, the process of moving on to the next stage after the short talk time is handled by the students of Yeonje University and external personnel in charge of the university festival.

No matter how perfectly Seleste prepared for everything, it is an area where they have absolutely no influence.

In short, this is a completely unexpected situation.

While Song Hyung-bin continued talking, the suddenly changed accompaniment reached Karis's ears.

From that moment on, it felt as if time was passing at 0.5x speed.

All sorts of thoughts were mixed in Karis' head.

A situation that was the first of its kind in his life.

Should he just wait for the music to turn off?

But if the accompaniment was turned on and they just stood there blankly, it would be really awkward.

Does that mean they should start the choreography right away?

The members weren't even standing in the opening formation of , but rather side by side.

Even if Karis moved his body quickly on his own, it would definitely come out looking strange.

What should he do?

What is the best decision he can make in this situation?

Karis's personal characteristics have the effect of increasing his composure and cool-headedness.

That's why, whenever facing a crisis, Karis was able to move forward on the right path without wavering.

But the current situation feels completely different.

There is no time to even judge what the most correct path is.

At most, 2 or 3 seconds.

In that short time, it is impossible to read the thoughts of the six members and move them all in the most reasonable direction.

Karis's cool-headed mind wavered.

Because his judgment was clouded, his eyes were unable to focus.

All he could do was quickly look to the sides to see what the other members were doing and what expressions they were making.

However, Ji Yoon-chul and Kang Si-yoon, who were standing next to Karis, also looked clearly flustered.

'What should we do?'

The members were flustered, the audience was flustered, and the production team that had caused the sound accident was momentarily confused.

Only one person came up with a clear answer.

[Trait, 'Leader' blooms.]

[Blooming trait, 'Maestro' is acquired.]

Song Hyung-bin's status window was engulfed in bright light.

Inside it, two arms made of countless light particles were created.

A white glove on his left hand.

And a long baton on his right hand.

When Song Hyung-bin turned his gaze to the side, the hand holding the baton moved smoothly.

Then, Chae Eun-gyu, Yoo Min-ha, and Heo Yu-bin all turned their gazes to Song Hyung-bin.

When he moved his hand in the opposite direction, Karis, Ji Yoon-chul, and even Kang Si-yoon turned their heads to Seleste's leader.

Song Hyung-bin, who confirmed that everyone's gaze was on him, smiled and said.

'Let's do it as we always do. Naturally. Just like we practiced so far.'

Before Song Hyung-bin went on stage, he said something to the members.

Don't be afraid of making mistakes on stage.

The members who have been in sync with him for a long time will come running and erase your mistakes without a trace.

Practice never betrays.

The harmony that is achieved through sweat and effort never changes.

Our heads and bodies remember everything, so we can fully cope with any situation that comes.

Song Hyung-bin always had this thought.

While taking part in , he changed after he corrected his old habit of being indecisive and having difficulty making important decisions.

Just like a baby bird breaking out of the egg that contained him, Song Hyung-bin's thoughts became more relaxed.

The trust in the members, the confidence in his own abilities, and the sense of responsibility that he had to shoulder as a leader.

All of these things made Song Hyung-bin's judgment faster and more decisive than anyone else's.

Because of this background, Song Hyung-bin was able to react alone.

In any situation, he is the one who must lead the six members.

Song Hyung-bin's blossoming trait, 'Maestro', who broke out of the egg, told all the members of Seleste.

They should always move their bodies as they practiced.

If they trust each other, rely on each other, and act naturally, the best stage will be created.

The members who heard Song Hyung-bin's message moved their bodies all at once.

Following their instincts, they all matched the first formation of that they had always practiced in unison.

To the students of Yeonje University, it seemed that the moment the accompaniment suddenly turned on, the members immediately changed from the formation where they were standing in a line to the formation.

In other words, the process of Song Hyung-bin blossoming his trait and gathering the members' hearts into one place took place in just 2 seconds.

The production team gaped when they saw Seleste start singing naturally in a professional manner.

"Keep the accompaniment on! Don't stop!"

"Yes, yees!"

The person in charge, who had been fidgeting about whether to turn off the speaker after realizing his mistake, quickly took his hand off the power button and watched Seleste's stage.

There really are amazing young men.

It must have been so sudden that it was hard to put into words, but they made a decision so quickly as a group.

Meanwhile, the audience was thrilled.

, which had become very well-known to the public through music and challenges this summer.

They were also amazed at the speed of reaction that made the sudden accident even more wonderful.

Watching the members perform on stage without wavering and boasting fantastic chemistry as if they were one organism, the audience could only think this.

'How much must they have practiced to be able to move their bodies on their own just with the accompaniment?'

Seleste, who had both outstanding skills and great stage manners, continued to draw the response of Yeonje University as if they had already forgotten about the embarrassing accident.

Every time, Yeonje University continued to send out warm cheers and cheered the Seleste members.

「woo woo woo woo woo

woo woo woo woo woo

Colors that are more lovely because they resemble you」

When the last verse of ended, the open-air theater was filled with cheers.

The members responded to the cheers with big smiles.

Their sweat-soaked faces seemed to tell how engrossed they were in decorating the stage.

"Hahaha! Wow!"

"I was really surprised. No, Hyungbin hyung was talking and the accompaniment suddenly came on."

"I thought my heart was going to drop!"

Only after finishing the stage could the members laugh and talk about the tense situation from earlier.

Heo Yubin, who seemed very excited, opened his eyes wide and shook his hands.

"What should I do? I was like this, and the hyungs on both sides kept moving. So I just instinctively followed my legs and went where they led me, and there was someone next to me who was doing the same thing!"

"We really felt like one body."

"It was really dizzying."

"But it was still fun!"

The students of Yeonje University were once again amazed at the members who kept repeating the words 'it was fun'.

Some of the people standing were saying things like "Aren't you crazy?" and "Does that make sense?"

The members took a breather while drinking water and had a talk time as if nothing had happened.

"We really had fun, did you guys have fun too?"

"Yes-!"

"I really only watch videos of university festivals on my phone, so it feels so new to stand on this stage myself."

"Thank you for inviting us!"

"Thank you, Yeonje University!"

The members all bowed 90 degrees to the audience.

The students of Yeonje University applauded and cheered, but felt a little uneasy.

For some reason, it felt like the members were wrapping up the performance.

Kang Si-yoon continued his thoughts while fixing his messy bangs.

"I think we were able to perform on stage with more strength because of your cheers and shouts. It wasn't hard at all because the energy of Yeonje University was constantly transmitted.. Thank you so much!"

"Thank you!"

The members gradually moved towards the front of the stage.

If you were standing in the front row of the standing area, Seleste was literally within arm's reach.

Looking at the countless hands and cell phones reaching out towards the stage, the members meticulously provided fan service by waving their hands or drawing hearts.

Kang Si-yoon, who was at the very front, moved from the right side of the stage to the left side, taking care of even the people in the corners.

At that moment, when Kang Si-yoon went to the left side of the stage and made eye contact with the people who were waving their hands fervently toward him.

"Huh-!"

Kang Si-yoon let out a short exclamation when he caught sight of someone in the audience.

"Why are you there!"

"Huh? What's wrong, Si-yoon?"

"What happened?"

"No, no! Hey!"

Kang Si-yoon pointed his finger somewhere in the audience and then burst into laughter and sat down.

The rest of the members who were exchanging greetings heard the sound and rushed towards Kang Si-yoon.

"You're my friend! No, Hae-jun! Why are you really here!"

The old friends that Kang Si-yoon had mentioned to Karis.

One of the friends that Kang Si-yoon had barely seen each other since his trainee life began, only occasionally contacting each other due to their own careers and work, caught Kang Si-yoon's eye.

"We went to the same elementary and middle school together...... Wow, I never imagined he'd be here."

"Si-yoon is your friend? Really?"

"Wow! Wow!"

The members turned their eyes in the direction of Kang Si-yoon's friend with even more excitement than Kang Si-yoon.

Song Hyung-bin smiled brightly and expressed his gratitude.

"It must have been really hard to play with Si-yoon, but thank you for being his friend!"

"Ah, huh! I'm not that weird!"

"I'm just grateful that they took care of Si-yoon. Please continue to take care of him in the future."

"Hey, what if you do that too?"

As even Karis nodded, the open-air theater became a sea of laughter.

Unusually at a loss, Kang Si-yoon waved his hand again as he looked at his friend.

"I'll contact you later. Let's have a meal soon, okay?"

With Kang Si-yoon's close friend making a surprise appearance, Seleste's first college festival became even more special.

For now, they decided to contact each other later, and the members gathered in the middle of the stage again to wrap up the performance.

"Everyone, our was the last song!"

"It's too bad!"

"Ah, I wanted to play more."

When Song Hyung-bin, Chae Eun-gyu, and Yoo Min-ha spoke in a playful tone, the quick-witted audience immediately started shouting a word.

That's right. It would be a shame if the performance ended like this.

"Encore! Encore!"

"Encore! Encore! Encore! Encore!"

The voices calling for an encore grew louder and louder, and soon even the people watching the stage from the far end of the open-air theater were all shouting in unison.

Seleste, who had once again experienced the unity of Yeonje University, smiled brightly.

"Then, with your support, we will begin the last stage!"

"Everyone, this is the last, so you have to jump the hardest, okay?"

"The last song, ! Sing it together!"

Naturally, the new song was chosen as the encore song.

Yeonje University cheered until the end and breathed with Seleste.

The members also looked out at the view of the open-air theater with sparkling eyes and vowed that they would never forget today's memories.

And so, the last day of Yeonje University's Daedong Festival ended successfully.

The Yeonje University student community and other SNS were filled with stories about Seleste.
