ANDARIAN, 최. ️ ️ Suasana 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝗣𝗲𝗻 masih bergemuruh bahkan setelah 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗮 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵 dikibarkan beberapa menit lalu. Suara mesin mulai menghilang—digantikan riuh tepuk tangan, tawa lega dari kru, dan teriakan penonton yang masih menggema. Lampu mulai menyala, ... ️ ️

ㅤㅤ 🟢 END OF BREAK TIME: Can't wait to see your favourite 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 on screen? Wait no more, here they are! ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤ Riuh tepuk tangan kembali terdengar. Beberapa 𝙠𝙧𝙪 menepuk bahu sang 𝙥𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙥 sambil tersenyum bangga, sementara Andarian memalingkan wajahnya sedikit, menatap ke sisi lain area media yang kini mulai diisi suara dan langkah baru. ㅤ ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤ Senyumnya kembali; hangat dan percaya diri, membawa energi yang menuntun suasana tetap hidup. "All right, let's keep the excitement going," ujarnya sembari mengangkat mikrofon dengan satu tangan, "Okay, who do we have next here?" ㅤ ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤ Andarian melihat ke arah CHELSEA KIM yang berdiri tidak jauh darinya, sedikit menunduk agar manik bertemu, lalu memberi anggukan kecil yang penuh koordinasi. Dan bersama mereka, 𝙥𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙥 hebat lainnya sudah siap diwawancarai. ㅤ ㅤ

⠀⠀⠀ Ia tak begitu suka diwawancara, karena dia begitu kaku saat berbicara atau entah terlalu pemalas. (ANDARIAN, 최.) ⠀⠀⠀

ㅤ ㅤ 𝙋𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙥 kelima hadir, Andarian melangkah ringan, menyambutnya dengan jabat tangan. Sorak kecil dari penggemar kembali terdengar, menambah hidup suasana yang belum kehilangan semangat meski 𝙗𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙥𝙖𝙣 telah usai. ㅤ ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤ Di sekitar mereka, kamera berpendar terang, para penggemar di balik pagar meneriakkan nama sang 𝙥𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙥. Meski begitu, percakapan Andarian tetap menjadi pusat perhatian; tenang dan penuh kendali, begitu pula saat memberi ruang jawab kepada OCEAN PHOENIX.. ㅤ ㅤ

⠀ Gilirannya sudah tiba, saatnya ia sekali lagi memasang topeng guna mempertahankan reputasinya agar tidak semakin buruk, sabar. ⠀

⠀ “I don’t think there is any, actually. I don’t even remember which 𝘭𝘢𝘱 and 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳 that I managed to 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦." "Especially since my car got damaged after the contact with Hale in 𝘭𝘢𝘱 34, but if I have to choose-" ⠀

⠀ “I lost to Nina, the 𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘦, that part is my fault because I went too wide and basically gave her a huge advantage, which she took, awe-inspiring performance from her." ⠀

⠀ “There’s a lot to learn and improve, from my side or the team, more to go. “Also, it was so unfortunate for Jonathan, his 𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘦 ended up short, but eh, that’s just how it works sometimes, y'know, yeah." ANDARIAN, 최. ⠀

ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ "Of course I'm disappointed," katanya, suaranya dalam, berat. "You don't start from the front row and hope to finish tenth." ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ

ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ "If we want to fight at the front, for 𝙥𝙤𝙡𝙚, we can't afford days like this. And I'm not planning to have another one." ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ
