Chapter 112
When a company posts a job listing, it's rare to specify an exact number of hires.
There are too many variables in recruitment.
Sometimes, an unexpectedly high number of great candidates appear, while other times, the opposite happens.
Naturally, when Parallel announced the second-gen auditions, they never explicitly stated they were hiring four people.
So technically, selecting just two and debuting them wouldn't be an issue.
...That is, if we were a normal company.
Parallel couldn't just say, "We've picked two. Our job here is done," and leave it at that.
First of all, the rumors would be a nightmare.
There are four first-gen members.
People automatically assume second-gen will have four as well.
If the numbers don’t match, fans start speculating and spinning all kinds of theories.
If there are fewer than expected, people start whispering, "Someone must have screwed up big time."
