Chapter 3 Winner

The members of Team G murmured to themselves in dissatisfaction.

Another hour of sleepless nights?

Oh, come on!

Why was the CEO so hell-bent on debuting a 4 member girl group?

Couldn't she just add them together to become 8?

Is 8 a bad idea?

Or the company had not much resources?

Naram almost exploded into tiny pieces, what was she thinking when she never pretended to forget her line?

What?

And Mimi's songs were just too difficult, the verses, chorus, and even choreographies!

Damn!

They all left to continue training in the training room.

Other trainees watched and pitied them, especially Sora.

To her, it was better not to be in any team and be eliminated than to practice non-stop and still end up losing.

And what was that song?

My heart by Mimi?

More like Treachery by The Devil, that song was crazily difficult.

Are the judges insane?

All Sora wished she could do was to jump fifty inches above the ground and thank God for giving her such a stroke of good luck.

"Oh my, oh my" she danced.

Aerin and her teammates practiced like there was no tomorrow, mastering each move took them almost an hour.

Naram was even more tired, and at that moment, she regretted signing the trainee contract.

Nothing good comes easy.

Meanwhile, Lee Haeun and the producer spoke about the debut song of the new girl group.

Lee Haeun sat down on her swivel chair as she talked about how she wanted the upcoming girl group to be.

"I don't want them to stick to one genre like most groups," she said. "So, I want their debut album to comprise of songs of different genres, but the title track would be hip-hop inspired of course" she furthered.

The producer, a man in his mid-forties smiled warmly. "I already think of a title for the title track," he told her.

Lee Haeun's eyes glistened, "And I already have a team in mind, but it depends though. So tell me the title"

The following morning dawn bright and clear, the members of each team were smartly dressed in a pair of black pants and white boots.

Their hair was in a bun hairstyle, they looked beautiful and innocent, even without make-up.

This time around, the entire trainees gathered at the Hall, and couldn't wait for the battle to begin.

Sora looked casual, not as intrigued as others.

She felt sorry for herself and already considered the possible winners lucky.

If only there was a way she could join the final lineup, she also loved being famous and having many fans.

She thought of famous groups, Butterfly was the most popular girl group right now, having millions of fans from around the globe.

Big Blue was the biggest boy group, of course, they were from a very big and well-developed company.

A particular member from Butterfly Dang Binh inspired Sora to become an idol, but not when she wasn't very good at dancing, and had only managed to pass the audition by luck.

She had watched and learned the choreography of Butterfly's hit song 'Stupid cat' and that was how she managed to pass the HXG global audition.

Of course, her rapping skills couldn't be ignored.

Sadly, she wouldn't debut, she sighed as she clapped her hands for Team G who were about to set the stage on fire.

Team G's leader took the risk of singing the first verse.

"Left alone to drown in the deep sea

Though I'm glad I've left your treachery

But I'm still enshrouded by disappointment

Why would my heart?"

She rocked each line with her beautiful dance.

They chorused. "Why my heart?

Like gasoline on my fire

You ruined me"

Everyone were amazed, but when it came to the fast-paced rap part, the rapper bit her tongue and omitted a word.

"Hey yo! Ya as wicked as hell

I know that ya think that imma never gotta tell

But I'ma ride, never gonna die,

I'd ask why instead of cry cuz it's my village n my lineage

n...m..m...my"

she stuttered, and not only that, but they also skipped a leap.

Everyone's jaws dropped in disappointment.

The girls broke into tears.

"Team G step aside please"

Team A members looked quite forlorn, if Team G could fail, then perhaps they could.

Aerin took the first verse with her deep voice, while Naram took the pre-chorus.

Isla and Raine sang the chorus together before Isla proceeded with the rapping.

"Hey yo! Ya as wicked as hell

I know that ya think that imma never gotta tell

But I'ma ride, never gonna die,

I'd ask why instead of cry cuz it's my village n my lineage,

n imma never gotta finish, think 'bout it

You heartbreaker you heart wrecker

You just put off my fire

You're a liar, not my desire, put you on a trial..."

And Naram cuts in, "And you were my heart"

Aerin and Raine sang the pre-chorus while Isla and Naram took the Chorus.

Soon, they ended the song.

Everyone watched in awe, the entire trainees clapped their hands delightedly.

"Oh MG! This is beautiful!"

"With Team A breathtaking performance, we would be thrilled to announce that the winner of the Talent Examination for the new girl group debut is Team A, a round of applause for them please"

Everyone clapped.

The three girls couldn't hide their excitement.

"Now go take rest, we shall see tomorrow" CEO Lee Haeun affectionately told them, she could feel their tiredness.

However, Naram felt bad, she felt that this was just the beginning of her suffering.

What's the use of working hard when HXG would never become popular? not to mention their girl group?

The following day, her parents came for her, and she terminated her trainee contract with the company.

"I'm very sorry, I should've realized this earlier" she apologized. "I want to focus on my studies for now, it was nice being with you all. I hope the rest members of my team become successful"
