with everyone in their respective
places, the lights dim and the
song starts. the dance and sing,
the mentors nodding their heads
to the beat.

​
​
​
​
​
​
​​
​
THE GIRLS SHOW AMAZING TEAMWORK.

​
​
​
​
​
​
​​
​

PERFORMANCE LATER THAT NIGHT?

LATER THAT DAY. . .

❍ EUN EUNBI﹢꒰ CRE.KER / F
❝ oh my god.
the performance is tonight.

❍ LEE BIA﹢꒰ BEAT INT. / B
❝ more like it's in almost an
hour.

❍ EUN EUNBI﹢꒰ CRE.KER / F
❝ don't remind me, I'm terrified.

❍ YANG YESUL﹢꒰ BEAT INT. / LUX
❝ you'll do amazing, we all will.
right?

❍ SHIN SUNMI﹢꒰ MNH / B
❝ yeah!

──────

while they have an hour until the
live performance, the trainees are
grouped together into two
separate waiting rooms, fifteen
trainees each.

with this being said. . . chaos
is inevitable.

❍ SONG LAMI﹢꒰ C9 / C
❝ did you. . . sneak crocs into
the broadcasting building ???

❍ KIM JAEIN﹢꒰ C9 / B
❝ why do you make it sound like
it's a bad thing?

❍ KIM JAEIN﹢꒰ C9 / B
❝ I just wanted some comfort,
humph.

❍ SHIN NARI﹢꒰ HAPPYFACE / LUX
❝ haha, imagine if you forgot you were
wearing them and you performed in
them.

❍ JEONG SUYUN﹢꒰ C9 / B
❝ I'd never let you live that down.
that would be priceless!

❍ LEE BELLA﹢꒰ JELLYFISH / C
❝ honestly. that would be the iconic
part of this performance, other than
the fact that we're a survival show.

tear stickers are placed on jaein's
face as she smiles, defeated.

❍ KIM JAEIN﹢꒰ C9 / B
❝ I swear I won't forget to take them
off.

the girls laugh at the defeated reply
from the older girl.

the lights are off, but a spotlight
shines on the national representative,
lee daehwi.

❍ DAEHWI﹢꒰ REP.
❝ welcome, viewers. tonight, thirty girls
stand behind me, hoping that in the next
coming months, their names will be
called and they will debut in the final group

❝ tonight, they come together. they
have practiced day and night to
perform this year's title song. . .

with the thirty girls still onstage, the
lights behind them dim. even if there
was no one in the studio other than
the cameramen, they still held that
feeling of hope in their eyes. for
some, this was their last shot at
debuting. for others, this was
something to quicken their debut.

but either way, they're all still young.
they will work hard, and will cry, hurt
themselves, they'll pour their
blood, sweat, and tears, into this
show. so in the end, they'll feel as
though it was worth it.

✎ (❁ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈) RUNE'S CORNER !

helloo my runiverse!!

last night was a wild ride, because
I stressed over the SHIN NARI
situation. but now that's been saved!
someone has claimed her, and therefore
the first mission is saved, haha.

if you wanna know why the lyric
video for HOW TO FEEL SPECIAL
haunts me, it's because I had quite
literally almost sobbed while making
it because the footage of when I
was screenrecording it kept freezing
in certain places, so I had to resort to
using screenshots and uh, twas' not
very fun. but hey! it's out (granted it
has been for a long ass time) and
now I can say that I will never take
for granted how easy I thought lyric
videos could be. I literally have a fear
now that my footage will freeze.

anyway! the next episode will be the last
for episode two before I'll post the first
part of mission two! and then once that
deadline is over, I'll republish mission
two but it will be updated ♡

stay safe everyone, I love you all ♡♡
