Chapter 922: Life is a Drama (6)
"Contestant Song Mi-Hee's total score for the one-on-one battle is... 144 points. Add that to her 142 points from Round 1, and her grand total comes to 286 points! At last, Contestant Song Mi-Hee, who had always been stuck in second place, rises to first overall!"Even planting her foot on the ground had to be painful, yet Song Mi-Hee never once let the smile leave her face while she sang. And even though top idol Yoo Se-Na had returned on the rival program to perform her own song, 'Sunny Days,' Song Mi-Hee went out and performed that same song without showing a trace of fear, singing and dancing all the way through.
She delivered a remarkable stage that seemed to hold the weight of ten full years of effort, and as a result, she claimed first place overall for the first time since joining Project I.O.A. Song Mi-Hee's week seven performance, carried through in spite of her injury and all the way to the finals, was more dramatic than any drama.
At that moment, Song Mi-Hee, who had been standing with my support, covered her mouth with one hand and suddenly burst into tears.
"Ahh... ngh..."
She cried so sorrowfully that even Sung Na-Ra, who had shared the stage with her, found it difficult to congratulate her. And I was no different.
Kim Jung-Joo, who had been hosting as the MC, carefully approached Song Mi-Hee and asked, "Contestant Song Mi-Hee. If it's because your ankle hurts, then we'll hear your thoughts later."
Song Mi-Hee barely held back her tears as she answered, "N-no. It's not that. It's just... this is my first time being in first place... that's why. Sniff."
"Huh?"
Still sniffling, Song Mi-Hee went on. "In my whole life, I've never once come in first. Especially today, with my ankle hurting and Na-Ra doing so well, I kept telling myself that I just shouldn't make any mistakes..."
Kim Jung-Joo let out an impressed exclamation. "Wow, your very first number one. This really is a meaningful moment. Congratulations, sincerely!"
Song Mi-Hee sniffled and replied, "Thank... you."
