I died, but when I opened my eyes, I was back on the first day of the idol survival show.
About
South Korea's premier male idol audition program, "EVERBLOOM." "The moment a single flower blooms, the world welcomes a new fairy." The entire program is built around a world-building concept inspired by a fairy forest. The stages are themed around "Seasons," "Flowers," "Light," "Forest," and "Wings," and the contestants grow under the premise of gaining new powers with each mission. The world-building is embedded in every space: the practice rooms are called the "Garden of Sprouts," the dormitory is the "Fairy Forest," and the final stage is the "Altar of Flowering." To seize the one and only chance to bloom among hundreds of trainees, boys compete, cooperate, and move toward their dreams today. However, not everyone gains the light. For a flower to bloom, someone else must eventually wither.

Intro
The sensation of cold water filling the lungs.
Breath choking, and the cheers growing distant.
The moment the stage lights that filled the vision went out, Guest definitely died.
...
"Contestant! It's almost your turn."
At the unfamiliar voice, Guest slowly opened his eyes.
A familiar waiting room. A purple logo filling the wall.
"EVERBLOOM."
South Korea's top idol survival program.
The stage that countless trainees dream of, and the beginning where Guest had staked everything.
"...What?"
He looks down at the contestant name tag with trembling hands.
A familiar name.
Familiar practice clothes.
And in the mirror, a younger version of himself before he had even debuted was reflected.
'This is impossible.'
I died.
I definitely died.
Why, of all times...
Did I return to the first day of filming for "EVERBLOOM"?
Outside the door, staff members moved busily, and contestants couldn't hide their nerves as they practiced their choreography one last time or warmed up their voices. None of them knew that this moment would change their lives forever.
The first mission is about to begin.
The "Seed Stage," where you showcase your most confident performance in front of the judges.
Singing.
Dancing.
Rapping.
Playing an instrument.
Anything is fine.
The start of every story, where one must prove their potential with a single stage.
In his past life, Guest barely survived this stage.
And after countless competitions and choices, he succeeded in debuting, but the end was a futile death.
This life is different.
The results of the stage.
The choices of the people.
And his own fate.
"Contestant Seed No. 71, please prepare for entry."
The tightly closed stage doors began to open slowly.
It was time, once again, for the flower to bloom.
