The One Moon Chapter 22

They all changed their clothes to the suits their manager gave them to change into. Apparently, the theme for the first meeting is like a royal party and they award contestants some sapphire pins. That’s all they knew about it.

They arrived at the recording area. Similar to the famous Prid101, everyone was introduced one by one and in groups. Except for this time there were just seats and no ranking order the contestants got to choose from.

When Moonhan’s group introduced themselves, they called themselves “The Swan boys” because they didn’t have an official group name.

They each introduced their name.

“I’m Han Moonhan and I’m 16.”

After that, Han walked up these stairs that led to their assigned seating. They got the seats that were in the middle.

A man in green hair walked in and people applauded him. Moonhan didn’t know him but he followed the others and applauded too.

“I will be the host for this show, Muyi, and will support you guys throughout the show” He bowed down to them, and then the contestants stood and bowed down too including Han.

From then on, everyone showed performance and Muyi assigned each person a letter grade. Although, it was a group contest. The members were surprised to be informed there would be a few where they had to be separated into different groups to work with others for a unit contest to gain individual points to help towards the win.

It was the Swan boy's turn, they were the 4th group to perform out of 10 groups. They performed B.A.B’s song One-Shot. The group practiced for only a few days so it wasn’t the best. The more experienced members who trained longer could do well but Moonhan was still struggling. He still caught up with the others.

“Only got One shot, one shot, one shot!” he sang the last chorus and everyone placed their hand up and into the air to show desperation.

Eric and Woong got A’s, Junghwan, Ren and Haru got B’s, and Siwoo got C, and Moonhan got F.

Everyone was quite surprised at this because they thought Moonhan did okay and at least was D level.

Muyi started talking. “The reason why I gave Han Moonhan an F is because I feel no energy from you compared to the others. You need to be more energetic, your facial expressions show you don’t want to be here, do please improve on that and I hope you don’t let your team down and improve.”

“Ah, yes sir, Muyi sir.”

Moonhan felt a little sad. He worked hard and did want to be there. He hoped the members didn’t believe what Muyi said about him not wanting to be there and his countenance fell sad.

Junghwan patted Han on the back. After this Siwoo also patted his back backstage.

“It’s fine, just grade up. Damn, Muyi looking down on Han’s efforts.” Said Ren

Siwoo agreed, “I know right, placing him in F like that. He worked so hard and to tell him that Moonhan didn’t want to be there.”

The other members smiled and agreed. Eric went “tch, well he did work hard… You just have to improve.”

Moonhan turned his face towards them grateful for their comments. He really was glad the members didn’t agree with Muyi.

“He was glad he decided to join the company.” A tear fell down.
