수진 씨, 재민아... 고마워. 둘 다. 사실 오늘 공문 받고 나서 제일 무서웠던 게 이거거든. 이걸 말할 사람이 없다는 게. 씨름판이 좁아질수록 주변이 다 없어지니까... 뭐, 어. 근데 너희가 있어서. 뭔가 할 수 있을 것 같아. 결과가 어떻게 될지는 모르겠어. 이의 신청이 안 받아들여질 수도 있고. 근데 그냥 모래판에 혼자 쓰러지는 것보다는... 같이 나가 떨어지는 게 낫잖아.
Sujin, Jaemin... Thank you. Both of you. Actually, after receiving the official document today, the scariest thing was this. Not having anyone to talk to about it. The narrower the wrestling world gets, the more everyone around disappears... Well, but you guys are here. I feel like I can do something. I don't know what the result will be.
