Falling for the Omega Idol-Chapter 82: OFFICIAL TRAILER

UPON hearing Haneul’s response, Robin instinctively glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. His eyes widened in surprise—it was already eight o’clock. He hadn’t realized how much time had passed while they practiced. No wonder Haneul was feeling dizzy; it must be from hunger! They’d been so focused that none of them noticed how late it had gotten.

"Okay, that’s it. Let’s go and have dinner first," he suggested.

"Now that you mention it, no wonder my stomach’s been making those weird little noises," Han Seojun said, as if just now realizing he was hungry as well.

Haneul was about to suggest they go ahead without him, thinking he could stay for another hour, but just then, his stomach grumbled in protest, as if rejecting the very thought. He sighed in defeat and nodded helplessly.

"Alright, let’s go get some dinner."

"Can I also go with you guys?" Han Seojun asked.

Robin shot him a glance. "You don’t need to ask permission for stuff like that. Just come with us. It’s not like we’re going to kick you out or something."

Han Seojun chuckled at that. "Well, that’s a relief."

Before they left the practice room, Haneul grabbed the remote, intending to turn off the video. However, just as he was about to do so, the screen abruptly switched, and Lily appeared. The sudden change was so unexpected that Haneul nearly dropped the remote in surprise. Honestly, if Lily was dressed like a ghost, it would be a good jump scare.

Robin and Han Seojun instinctively turned their heads toward the screen at the same moment, both wearing expressions of confusion, clearly wondering what was happening.

Lily on the screen started speaking.

[Good evening, everyone. I hope you’re all working hard to master both the lyrics and the choreography of the theme song. Tomorrow, the mentors will be guiding each of you through the final stages of practice. However, due to the large number of participants, you’ll only be able to go in batches. We’ve arranged the schedule accordingly, which will be posted shortly after this message. Please review it carefully and prepare yourselves. Keep pushing, and good luck to everyone! We’re looking forward to seeing your progress.]

As Lily’s message ended, a spreadsheet appeared on the screen, resembling a timetable. It was divided into three columns: the first column listed the times, starting at 7 AM and divided into one-hour blocks. There was an hour-long break from 12 to 1 PM, and the schedule continued until 6 PM. The second column, labeled ’Song,’ and the third column, labeled ’Dance,’ each had a single room number displayed under their headings. In each time block, there were 10 names written under both ’Song’ and ’Dance,’ indicating the participants scheduled for that hour.

The three of them immediately scanned the spreadsheet, searching for their names. Haneul quickly spotted his name in the ’Song’ column, scheduled for the 7 AM block, and then found his name again in the ’Dance’ column for the 1 PM block.

Curious, he looked at the other names in his group and realized that the same group of people would be attending both the song and dance sessions together. However, Robin’s name wasn’t listed in his time slots. Which was a bit regrettable. Instead, Haneul recognized two familiar names: Song Jiwoo, one of his roommates, and...

Jung Taeyang.

Seeing that name, Haneul couldn’t help but recall what had happened just a little while ago, when Taeyang abruptly left the practice room. Maybe he had simply been hungry, which would explain why he left so suddenly. But if that were the case, why not just say so? Instead, he’d left as though he had no intention of coming back.

Because of that, Haneul couldn’t help but think more. Had they done something to annoy him? Or maybe Taeyang realized he didn’t enjoy being around them after all? More negative thoughts began to flood Haneul’s mind, but he quickly stopped himself from spiraling further down that path.

He shook his head, telling himself he was probably overthinking it. But as he recalled the way Taeyang had walked out, why did it still feel like something was off?

"We’re not in the same group—what a shame," Robin said as he looked at the schedule again, the disappointment showing in his eyes.

"But I’m in the same group as you," Han Seojun chimed in with a grin. "That’s pretty great, right?"

Robin glanced at the other, thinking, ’are you and Haneul the same?’. But at the end, he could only sigh and said, "Yeah, I guess."

As the contestants were busy discovering their schedules for tomorrow, an entirely different kind of storm was brewing online.

Finally, Vnet released the highly anticipated trailer for Boys Odyssey on their official SNS platforms.

The trailer began with a wide shot of the ocean at dawn, waves gently rolling as the sun slowly rose. A calm voiceover spoke: "In every corner of the world, boys were reaching for their dreams, preparing to face challenges they had never encountered before. They were about to embark on a journey like no other, where only the worthy would prevail."

The camera panned across the vast expanse of the sea, emphasizing the endless possibilities ahead. The voice continued: "This wasn’t just a competition; it was a test of their determination, resilience, and willpower."

As the music swelled, a massive ship emerged from the horizon, cutting through the waves with purpose. Standing tall at the bow was Lily, dressed in a striking suit inspired by a sailor’s uniform. Her tailored suit pants flowed elegantly, while the navy-blue jacket, adorned with subtle nautical details, gave her a commanding presence. The breeze caught her hair as she gazed forward, her expression both confident and inviting.

With a calm yet authoritative tone, she said, "Come aboard and witness their journey. This is Boys Odyssey."

The trailer concluded with the ship sailing forward into the distance, as the show’s logo and premiere date appeared on the screen.
