Helpless?

"What went wrong?"

Five minutes ago, a feminine voice trailed off below the stage and asked this question. Nobody else heard it in the crowd that fervently celebrated their idol's advancement to the next phase of Best of Idols. 

Five minutes later, the same question came out of Jun's mouth.

Everything was going well at first. His team won, and the producer confirmed his participation in Part 2. While he was sad to see some people he knew and befriended go, what still mattered the most was that all his future teammates made it through the selections. It was simply the perfect outcome for today.

So what went wrong?

Why did he suddenly go back to an hour ago?

Jun once again experienced confusion and felt incoherent with time. He magically moved from one place to another, from sitting in the lobby to standing backstage.

"Can I do this? What if I messed up?"

He was hearing words that he had already heard before.
