The cameraman who was assigned to film Viviana had been admiring her beauty. But he didn't expect that despite her beauty and the popularity in the media, the actress was the most inactive guest amongst the ten individuals. No. She was the most passive guest he had ever filmed in the show.
The team division of the male guest was done within a few minutes. In the Red team were Tucker Lee, Bryson and Na Jun. While the Blue team had Daniel Miller, Derrick and Le Yun.
"Now let's see which lady would be a part of which team." Tang Tang called out.
"Miss Viviana." She called out the woman who looked like she was counting the number of leaves the grasses had.
"Would you like to go first?"
Viviana thought for a few seconds before she replied.
"Okay"
She walked up to the table and put her hand into the hole. And without much picking, she pulled out her hand. And within her grasp was a soft red ball.
"…"
Viviana couldn't help giving the soft sphere a squish. Which was immediately followed by a few more squishes.
"Well… Miss Viviana has picked a red ball. A color which suits her fiery looks."
A nerve ticked when Viviana heard the words of the host.
"How do feel being a part of the Red team?"
Tang Tang gave Viviana the mike.
"Well… I was okay with any of the team."
"…"
Tang Tang thought Viviana would show some regret at not being in the same group with Daniel. But the actress was very good at keeping her emotion from surfacing on her face.
Or so she thought.
After Viviana, Ming Ruo Xuan went for it. She pulled out a blue ball, making the first female to enter the Blue team.
When asked who would go next, Chun Hua chose to go last. Leaving Lyra to be the third one to draw the ball.
The young lady was having a hard time hiding her anticipation. There were only two balls left in the box. One blue. One red. As she walked up to the table, she glanced at the magnetic man standing with a blue-ribbon badge on his chest.
As she put her hand into the hole, she felt the two balls. Indecisive which one to pull out. After a few seconds of self-debate, she pulled out one. Lyra closed her eyes tight.
She took a deep breath before she slowly opened them. Only to be greeted by a squishy red sphere. Like a puppy that had a bucket of water poured on it, her mood dampened. Visibly.
Tang Tang saw the disappointment in her friend's face and thought of a way to cover it up.
"Wow… Lyra you get to be in the same team with Sister Vivi. Are you excited?"
"…"
It took Lyra a few seconds to notice that her friend was creating a way out for her. Since this was the case why not put some more effort into it.
"Yeah…. I'm happy… to be in the same team with Sister Vivi."
Her words were of joy, but the reluctance in her voice was practically announcing that she did not want to be in the same team with Viviana.
Viviana who, out of the blue, was pulled into this current wanted to laugh out loud at their action.
Lyra's action was not only witnessed by her, but everyone present there. Even the crew members. Almost everybody who was presented there had heard of the rumors involving Viviana. And one of them was that Lyra was a victim of her bully.
With Lyra acting so reluctant and sad to be in the same team as her, she was only solidifying the baseless rumor. But it was of no surprise to Viviana.
She had been thrown under the wheel multiple times by the Agent and idol duo. So much that she felt that there was no necessity for her to react. No sadness. No disappointment. Nor betrayal.
If there was anything she felt from their actions, it would be amusement. Amused at them for carrying out their actions, even in front of her. She wondered if they ever feared they'd be exposed by her. Seeing how often it happened, they clearly didn't seem to.
Well…. Viviana didn't blame them. After all, she let it happen the first time. Then the second followed by the third. On and on it kept on happening. And each time, she let them walk over her.
Now, they believe that she had no backbone to stand for herself. While in truth, she just did not care about it at all.
After all, She'll be leaving this company in a few months.

With Lyra picking the ball, the division of the team was completed.
Tucker Lee, Bryson, Na Yun, Viviana and Lyra made up the Red Team. While the Blue Team consisted of Derick, Daniel Miller, Le Yang, Ming Ruo Xuan and Chun Hua.
"Please choose a team captain."
Came the instruction from the host.
The Red team chose Tucker Lee, who was the most senior and also a retired athlete. While the Blue team voted for Daniel Miller.
"Now that we have our teams and their captains…. Let's enter the field of Games."
Tang Tang led the group of ten people to the field. The 'gate' had a huge banner stating 'Field of Games.' Before entering, the guests had limited views of the arrangement of the field, with all the boards and flags blocking their sight.
Now that they had come inside, they could clearly see them. The field could be compared to a fare. There were different 'stalls' at the border with an open space in the middle. There was a stage on the western side of the field, which was the first thing that came to view as soon as one entered the enclosure. On it, there was a large sign board.
[HAPPY TRIP TOGETHER]
The stage was decorated in red and blue with banners indicating the positions of the two teams.
Tang Tang, being the host, climbed up the stage first and also called up the two teams.
"The Blue team, please be on the left side. And the Red team, the right."
