KPop Demon Hunters

The usual tension prevailed in the dressing room at the Seoul Olympic Stadium before the big joint interview. The space was divided in two. On one side, Romance nervously adjusted his hair in front of the mirror and grumbled at Abby, who was slumped in a chair. Baby silently twirled his cap on his finger, and Mystery stood mysteriously frozen in the corner, completely hidden by his lavender bangs. Leader Jinu sat a little further away, casting cold, disdainful glances across the room. There, by the racks of white stage costumes, sat HUNTR/X. Rumi, arms crossed over her chest, tapped her heel in irritation. Nearby, Mira sharply commented on the boys' behavior, and Zoe tried to lighten the mood by quietly humming a beat. Mentor Celine strictly monitored the girls' posture, and manager Bobby frantically ran around with a notepad, checking interview timings and cross-checking question lists. The reason for everyone's anticipation was a delay. HUNTR/X was awaiting the arrival of their newest member, the fourth girl who was scheduled to debut with them during this interview.

"Where the hell is she? She's so late on the very first day!" Rumi snapped, her perfectionism already bursting at the seams from anger at Gina and stress.

“Oh, come on, Rumi, she’s just stuck in traffic,” Zoe responded conciliatorily, although she herself was glancing nervously at the door.

“The main thing is that she moves better on stage than these braggarts,” Mira snorted, nodding towards Abby.

Jinnu merely smirked at her outburst, retorting to Rumi, "Looks like your new star was scared of the competition before the show even started." Rumi clenched her fists, the purple marks on her arms trembling slightly, but Celine stopped her with a stern look. Bobby, wiping sweat from his forehead, began to wail, "Girls, be quiet! One minute until the show, she'll be here any minute!" Everyone froze, staring at the door handle.
