Chapter 57

"Really tired." This was the only feeling Han Seungyeon had at the moment.

"I wish time would slow down a bit more, giving me more time to promote." This was the thought that dominated Han Seungyeon's mind.

However, time did not stop for Han Seungyeon's plea and still arrived at 6 PM. The promotion for KARA had to come to an end. Under the guidance of the staff, they went to a nearby restaurant to have a brief meal and rest before the stage where their popularity would be tested.

"Alright, Seungyeon, take a rest! You've done your best. No matter what the result is, I think we won't regret it." Park Gwi-ri looked at Han Seungyeon, whose hair was damp and clinging to her skin, with a pained expression and comforted her.

"Right! Unnie Seungyeon." Nicole also said, feeling deeply moved. After all, Han Seungyeon's madness had left a deep impression on Nicole. From the first second the countdown began, Han Seungyeon started running, promoting to everyone she met. For the entire hour, she didn't drink a drop of water or take a break, just kept running. Even when the infected uncles and aunts tried to stop her, she politely refused and continued running. According to the staff's incomplete statistics, Han Seungyeon ran nearly 10,000 meters, or 10 kilometers, in that hour, which earned their admiration.

"Understood. We've done all we can. Now we just have to wait. Don't worry! I won't collapse. I'll only fall down after we know the final outcome!" Han Seungyeon forced a smile, then panted.

"Okay, then rest a bit! We'll get the dinner." Park Gwi-ri smiled and then turned to leave.

"Okay, thank you, Unnie." Han Seungyeon called out gratefully as she watched Park Gwi-ri's back.

After everyone left, Han Seungyeon could no longer hold on and collapsed on the table, staring blankly with wide eyes, silent for a long time.

After a while, she let out a long breath and whispered, "Gwi-ri, Seungyeon, Nicole, Sung-hee, even though this isn't reality, I can only do this much for you now. I hope you can keep going in the real world."

At 7 PM, the four members of KARA were blindfolded and led to the stage. Feeling the surroundings, it was so quiet and lonely. The girls were really unsure, holding hands to sense each other. Han Seungyeon held Park Gwi-ri and Nicole's hands, clearly feeling their palms sweating, knowing they were just as nervous as she was. At this moment, she could do nothing but silently pray for the upcoming moment.

"Alright, the verification is about to begin. Before that, I'd like to interview KARA and hear their most genuine thoughts." The invited host's voice echoed in the vast venue, adding to the girls' worries.

"So, Park Gwi-ri, how are you feeling right now?" The host approached the group and began asking questions, with Park Gwi-ri, as the leader, being the first.

"Nervous, moved, relieved, and hopeful." Park Gwi-ri said, word by word.

"Right, I think no one is not excited at this moment. After all, this is an important event for you. I heard this event was a direct condition you and the company agreed upon. What gave you the courage to accept the company's request? And do you have anything to say to your teammates here?" The host continued.

However, the topic made Han Seungyeon feel strange. For some reason, she extremely disliked this host at the moment.

"We had no choice. If we refused, the company would abandon us. By choosing to take on the challenge, we still have a chance. As for what to say to my sisters, I think it's unnecessary at this point." Park Gwi-ri said, smiled, then raised her tightly clenched hand and waved, saying, "Because we have always been together."

"Ah! As expected of the leader! So touching. Then, Han Seungyeon, do you have any different opinions about the decision made by Park Gwi-ri?" The host began questioning Han Seungyeon.

Although she extremely disliked this person and really wanted to ignore him, standing on the stage, Han Seungyeon had no choice but to answer, "Park Gwi-ri has already said it, we had no choice."

"Ah, if today's 10,000-person gathering fails, what do you think would be the most regrettable thing?" The host continued.

"There is no regret in life, or rather, there are too many regrets, so many that people learn to live with them, to ignore them. I am no different." Han Seungyeon answered with precise words.

"What is the thing you dislike the most after debuting?"

"Actually, what I dislike the most is being called the second FINK.L. I am KARA, not the FINK.L of seniors like Lee Hyori. I like and respect my seniors, but I don't want to be a group like them. I want to make my own name." Han Seungyeon, no, at this moment, it should be said that this was Su Yuhao's heart's voice. No one likes to be a substitute; everyone wants to make their own name.

Seeing Han Seungyeon's flawless response, the host didn't waste more time on her and moved on to the next person.

"Nicole, who do you respect the most in the group? Who do you like the most? Who do you trust the most?" The host's three questions made Han Seungyeon's skin crawl, and she couldn't help but think, "What is this? Are you sure this is a 10,000-person gathering?"

"The one I respect the most is Unnie Gwi-ri, the one I like the most is Unnie Sung-hee, and the one I trust the most is Unnie Seungyeon." Nicole answered formally.

"Oh, is there a story behind this?" The host continued to ask.

"Mo?" Nicole, who often made mistakes in Korean, was very confused by the host's question.

"Oh, I mean, why did you choose these answers? What made you decide on these answers?" The host patiently expressed his meaning in the simplest Korean.

"Ah, Unnie Gwi-ri often takes care of us, Unnie Sung-hee is very cheerful, and Unnie Seungyeon works the hardest." Nicole answered.

Time gradually passed as the host asked endless questions. Finally:

"Alright, it's about time. Just now, our staff on-site signaled to me that they have finished counting the valid number of people who arrived within the specified time. That means the result of KARA's 10,000-person gathering is out." The host finally returned to the main topic, and the four girls, who had been confused by the host's questions, perked up. The moment had finally arrived.

"Then, I will now give the final time to the KARA members to say what's on their hearts." The host said.

Hearing the host's words, the venue fell silent once again.
