Chương 273: Level-Up

However, just like the movies, we cannot escape the bitter moments of life. 

While other people rejoiced, there were trainees who held their tears. And maybe that was why June couldn't bear himself to smile. 

One, because he debuted as the unfortunate center. 

And two, because he knew he wouldn't see the people he had called his friends as often as he would like from now on. 

The tension-filled background music now changed to a melancholic one, silencing the happy crowd. 

They all turned to the circular stage, where twelve young trainees stood heartbroken. 

"C-Jay," Minho started off, capturing his full attention. He had a wide smile on his face, but there was a lingering sadness in his eyes. 

"Would you like to say something to the debut team?" 

Jangmoon, who watched from the side, couldn't hold back his tears. His eyes met C-Jay's for a second, the ugly trainee he now considered his best friend, and he felt…sad.
