In a desolate hallway, Jin and his group walked in heavy silence.
A roar of cheers echoed inside the room, filling the festive atmosphere with emotion.
His breath turned shallow—not from nervousness, but from a firm conviction that he could clench victory over another contestant.
The group walked until they reached the corner that would directly lead them onto a straight path to the stage.
Jin's lips parted in a fearless grin, seeing his other classmate standing in waiting.
No words were needed between them, just a glance before they followed Jin's leadership, walking toward the light at the end of the tunnel.
"This is it, guys".
Jin's solemn voice resonated within everyone's heart. He twisted his neck, peeking through his shoulders.
"Enjoy the festival to your heart's content".
The group nodded firmly; their eyes shone with strength.
Jin chuckled; he stepped outside the room, greeting the blinding light from the golden eyes hovered above.
