And so, the episode ended, leaving the viewers on the edge of the cliff.

They said the episode today would be chill and healing, but what happened?

Rayen sighed.

Anyway, there was no need for him to wait at the edge of the cliff with the viewers. He had long knew what rank he was placed in.

Three days ago, their ranks and new uniforms were delivered to them through their systems.

Speaking of the new uniforms…

When the projection screen receded back to the practice room's ceiling and the lights around them returned, the thing that everyone was wearing almost blinded Rayen's eyes.

At the same time, Adrian stood up with a stretch and instructed everyone.

"Break time is over! Let's resume practicing!"

The corners of Rayen's mouth twitched.

Just now, Adrian's handsome face was an awkward contrast to the red worker jumpsuit he was wearing.

'I should probably give him a worker's hat too…'

Well... not that Rayen didn't look the same. Right now, the only difference with their outfit was the color.

Rayen, in Rank B, was wearing a purple one. Including him, there was also Ren, Liam and Iris donned in the same colored jumpsuit. Meanwhile, Adrian and Ara wore matching red colors for the Rank A.

No one in their team placed in Rank C.

Lastly, at Rank D... It was the hateful green jumpsuit. Nana belongs to this rank, looking like a bamboo pole — so as the missing Oh Heejun.

Rayen was quite thankful his rank wasn't C. Or else, partnered with his red hair, he would really seem like the cactuses from his first commercial. He'd probably earn another set of memes by then.

Still, even if it wasn't a green one, it was quite a sight. If only they weren't required to wear this during practice, he'd rather die than wear it.

Who the hell came up with this uniform?

Suddenly, the image of Plotter's mismatched clothes flashed through his mind. With his strange ideas and fashion style, there was a high chance it was his doing.

'Damn Plotter.'

While cursing Plotter in his mind, Rayen stood up. "Wait a moment, I'd like to see the summary report first."

But Adrian immediately rejected him. "Let's practice first, we can't waste every second!"

However, Rayen refused to listen. They had been too focused on practicing the past few days.

Even though the fear of disappearance was looming over their heads and pushing them to work harder, it was still so tiring. He felt like collapsing already!

'Can't I just slack off for a moment?'

This time, the others also agreed with Rayen. It was rare they got a break for more than an hour long. If not for the airing of the 11th episode and Oh Heejun's insistence on watching it with them earlier, they would have been stuck with practicing until midnight.

For all Rayen knew, this Adrian, who takes him as his food server every lunch, was just working hard to impress some babe in their group. Rayen refused to be the sacrifice to uplift his image anymore!

"Oh Heejun still hasn't come back. We can't practice without him," Rayen tossed out a random excuse.

Speaking of which... It was Oh Heejun who suggested the idea to watch the episode, but he went out at the middle of it.

"He still hasn't come back?" Adrian glanced around.

Indeed, there was no sign of Oh Heejun everywhere.

Rayen shrugged and finally ignored Adrian. He opened his locker and grabbed his phone. As the screen lit up, he saw that there was a notification from his system.

A large interface popped out with Mini Plotter dancing about his screen. Since Rayen's teammates were around, it could only restrain itself in this manner instead of speaking out loud.

Then, he tapped on the see full details button.

[The public's thoughts about you is...

"A Damsel in Distress"]

Rayen was speechless.

"....."

'What damsel? I ain't a damsel! I'm a guy! J definitely don't swing that way!'

He wanted to smash the phone back inside the locker, but restrained himself by breathing in and out. It took him a few seconds to do so.

Just as he was about to close the screen of his phone, another pop up appeared on it.

[Congratulations on acquiring a 'Story title'!

Reward: A Pitiful Aura]

Rayen's brows immediately furrowed.

'A story title? What's that?'

Out of curiosity, he tapped on the reward.

[Description: In the viewer's eyes, you look like someone who was treated unfairly. If you equip this title, there's a slight chance that a casual viewer might cast a vote on you.]

"....."

Now, he really didn't know what to feel about this. But maybe receiving this title was actually great. At the very least, this description somewhat eased his mood.

While he was feeling complicated from the sudden unexpected reward, someone beside him exclaimed in confusion.

"My phone's not here..." Liam said.

Rayen glanced at Liam who was rummaging through his locker. The others were also doing the same thing as him.

Rayen furrowed his brows. "Are you sure you're looking properly?"

He knew his old friend had a habit of speaking first before looking for it. However, another voice echoed from Rayen's other side.

"Mine's missing too..." Iris blurted out. "That's strange. I remembered putting it down here."

Meanwhile, not far away from her, Ren's lips pursed into a thin line. He didn't say anything but his gaze inside his own locker was solemn.

'What's happening?'

Rayen blinked in confusion. This time, he felt that something was off. Everyone also turned silent, looking at each other.

"Who else has their phones missing?" Adrian glanced at his members.

Except Rayen and Nana, they all raised their hands.

Suddenly, Ren slammed shut his locker.

"Oh Heejun!" he exclaimed with gritted teeth.

Without explaining anything, Ren marched toward the door, stomping his feet. However, before he could even managed to reach out for the door handle, a thud resounded in the practice room.

Everyone turned their heads toward the source of the sound. Ara, lying limp on the floor, entered their vision.

Rayen's pupils constricted. His heart beat faster.

With this sudden occurrence, he realized something. He turned his head on Oh Heejun's locker in alarm.

'This is bad...'
