SEIYUU ACADEMY: EPISODE ONE.

WEEK ONE, DAY ONE. THE TRAINEES ARE UNPACKING THEIR LUGGAGES.

STARTING FROM DORM SEVEN, ALSO KNOWN AS THE DOG DORM...

〔 JANG HUIJUN ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 Mhm... Let's see... Medicines... Here! Vitamins... Here as well! Makeup is in the smaller bag... So I should have everything! Sorry for having you help me...

〔 YANG ZIXUAN ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 Oh, it's OK! You said you couldn't do it on your own, so I helped. Don't feel sorry!

[DEFINITELY STANNING ZIXUAN AFTER THIS. HE'S SO CARING TOWARD HUIJUN (AS HE SHOULD BE) !!!]

〔 JANG HUIJUN ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 Thank you again, then!

〔 YANG ZIXUAN ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 No worries! We should become friends, Huijun.

〔 JANG HUIJUN ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 We should! You're so nice, I'd love that.

DING DONG! A SPEAKER IN THE DORM STARTS RINGING OUT OF NOWHERE !

〔 "MOMOE" ﹕ STAFF 〕 I'm very sorry to disturb the trainees during their free time, but the hosts are waiting for everyone in the CAFETERIA for an important announcement. Please head over there as soon as possible.

〔 YANG ZIXUAN ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 Oh? I wonder what happened...

〔 JANG HUIJUN ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 I wonder as well... Let's go, though!

THE TRAINEES ALL RUN TOWARDS THE CAFETERIA, WHERE SEOHYUN IS WAITING THEM ALONG WITH THE ROBOT.

〔 SEOHYUN ﹕ HOST 〕 Hello everyone! Thank you for being so fast! Please, take something to eat while I speak.

〔 NOH SEOKHOON ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 [after biting an energetic bar] It does seem to be something important, from her tone...

〔 TAEYANG ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 [nodding along] Mhm... I hope it's nothing serious.

〔 SEOHYUN ﹕ HOST 〕 First of all, congratulations for reaching this point! Depending on how well you do on your entrance exam, though, this might be your last time here.

〔 LEE AEJUNG ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 ... Huh?

〔 SON YEEUN ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 Did I hear that right...

〔 KWON SIYUN ﹕ CLASS ONE 〕 ... Didn't they say there would be no eliminations?

UTTER SILENCE IN THE SCHOOL CAFETERIA. THE TRAINEES ARE VISIBLY CONFUSED.

〔 SEOHYUN ﹕ HOST 〕 As Siyun has pointed out, we said there would be no eliminations...

〔 SEOHYUN ﹕ HOST 〕 ... However, that is not entirely correct. After this first week, you will be asked to perform three songs per class, although it will be evaluated solely vocals wise.

〔 SEOHYUN ﹕ HOST 〕 Thing is... We received four late applications and this could easily be a chance for us to evaluate your vocals as well. Remember you will be promoting as an idol group even if the main purpose is to become voice actors, after all.

〔 PARK JUNO ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 ... Time to prepare our things, Sieun. Mingyu will leave us alone here with his vocals... [placing a hand on his heart]

〔 CHOI MINGYU ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 ... Sometimes I hate how sarcastic you can be.

〔 JIN SIEUN ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 Well... [with a hand under her chin] You're actually a better singer than us, so that could actually happen...!

〔 CHOI MINGYU ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Oh, true! I heard your loud ass from the shower a few weeks ago... Never sing ever again.

〔 JIN SIEUN ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 ... Huh!? [on the verge of laughing as she drinks]

〔 JIN SIEUN ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 You...!

〔 SEOHYUN ﹕ HOST 〕 The four students who receive the lowest score will have to say goodbye to SEIYUU ACADEMY. Well... Of course, if all the new auditionees get the lowest grades, you can consider yourselves safe. But never say never! 

〔 SEOHYUN ﹕ HOST 〕 The teachers have given you a key of the color of your class... That leads to your class's special training room. You will use it to prepare the vocal performance. Only restriction: you must pick three songs from SM Entertainment artists. You will be trained to debut under SM, after all. Make sure you choose a class representative first.

〔 SUNG JUNSOO ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Mhm... Songs from SM Entertainment artists... Might've given me an idea!

〔 NAM KYUHYUNG ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Do I have to be scared...?

〔 SEOHYUN ﹕ HOST 〕 Good luck everyone!

THE TRAINEES GO TO THEIR DESIGNATED LOCATIONS TO MEET UP AND DISCUSS THE DETAILS OF THEIR PERFORMANCES.

STARTING WITH CLASS TWO...

〔 HANNAH YUXIN CHEN ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 ... Is it wrong that I have no clue of what's happening here?

〔 YOON JIHYEON ALICE ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Not really! We're just weird. You're fine.

〔 SHIN ARIN ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 ... How many candidates are there for CLASS REPRESENTATIVE position again?

〔 HANNAH YUXIN CHEN ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 [turning toward ALICE] Are you running for CLASS REP?

〔 YOON JIHYEON ALICE ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 I mean... I'd like to? But I don't know if anyone else wants to...

〔 YOON JIHYEON ALICE ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 [fake ominous voice] There can only be one...

〔 HANNAH YUXIN CHEN ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Oh... [chuckles] Well, has someone volunteered yet?

〔 YOON JIHYEON ALICE ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 

〔 NAM KYUHYUNG ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 I want to volunteer... I think I'd do well.

〔 YOON JIHYEON ALICE ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Oh...! Good luck then, because you're going against me!

〔 NAM KYUHYUNG ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Mhm... I might have a chance then.

THE ENTIRE CLASS FREEZES.

〔 YOON JIHYEON ALICE ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Hey!

〔 NAM KYUHYUNG ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 What? I'm inciting friendly competition.

〔 YOON JIHYEON ALICE ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 ... Can we shake hands then?

〔 NAM KYUHYUNG ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 I don't see why not.

ALICE AND KYUHYUNG SHAKE HANDS AS THE OTHERS SILENTLY WATCH.

〔 YOON JIHYEON ALICE ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 And with this, we've established a friendly rival relationship!

〔 NAM KYUHYUNG ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 [chuckling] Watch as we have this and then work together in the future.

〔 YOON JIHYEON ALICE ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Who cares!

A FEW MINUTES LATER...

〔 YOON JIHYEON ALICE ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 ...

KYUHYUNG WINS WITH 5 VOTES !

〔 NAM KYUHYUNG ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Well, turns out I was right...!

ALICE GETS SECOND PLACE WITH 4 VOTES !

〔 YOON JIHYEON ALICE ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 ... At least I get to be DELEGATE, so I'm satisfied!

〔 NAM KYUHYUNG ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Thank you guys for choosing me. I promise I won't let you down...!

〔 GO SUBIN ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Congratulations!

〔 FAN ZHIPENG ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Congrats to both of you!

━━━━━━━━━━

〔 FAN ZHIPENG ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 I also applied for the CLASS REP position, but it's OK! I trust Kyuhyung and Alice to do a great job... I voted for Alice, after all!

〔 FAN ZHIPENG ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Alice even said she could've easily seen me in her place, so I don't really think of it as a defeat. Sure, those benefits would be helpful...! But in the end, what matters is that the class is in the hands of responsible people.

━━━━━━━━━━

〔 EDEN SEOK ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 I really wanted the leader position... But it's OK! Can I still provide my ideas for the mission, though...

〔 NAM KYUHYUNG ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Of course. We need everyone's help, after all! Let's work well.

〔 SUNG JUNSOO ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 I might have an idea already...

〔 NAM KYUHYUNG ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 ... Do I have to be scared.

〔 SUNG JUNSOO ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 [sticking out his tongue] You're always scared when it comes to me!

〔 CHOI MINGYU ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 ... And he has all reason to be.

〔 SUNG JUNSOO ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 [ignoring MINGYU] I made a remix of ___ ___ ___ and ___ ___ ____ we could use for our audition... Listen to it!

〔 PARK JUNO ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Mhm...

THE ENTIRE CLASS TWO LISTENS TO JUNSOO'S REMIX.

〔 NAM KYUHYUNG ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 ... See, Junsoo might be a threat to mankind, but this is a great idea. We should work on it.

〔 YOON JIHYEON ALICE ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Mhm! I'll write it down.

〔 NAM KYUHYUNG ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 I also have a few ideas myself... Eden, you said you had a few in mind already, right? Do you mind discussing them together.

〔 EDEN SEOK ﹕ CLASS TWO 〕 Not at all...! Thank you for considering it.

EVEN WITH FIVE CANDIDATES AND ONLY TWO REPRESENTATIVES, THE ATMOSPHERE IN CLASS TWO SEEMS TO BE FRIENDLY.

WHAT ABOUT CLASS THREE?

〔 CHOI EUNWOO ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 Hi...! I thought we all agreed on meeting up here.

〔 JIN SIEUN ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 [closing her book] Huh? Oh! Hey, I didn't notice you coming here!

... IT SEEMS LIKE JIN SIEUN AND CHOI EUNWOO ARE THE ONLY STUDENTS IN CLASS THREE'S TRAINING ROOM !

〔 CHOI EUNWOO ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 Mhm, it's fine...! Do you mind me borrowing the book you were reading once you're done with it? [shaking her head] But that's not what I wanted to say.

〔 CHOI EUNWOO ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 I was wondering... Should I apply for the CLASS REPRESENTATIVE position? I was thinking of trying it out...

〔 JIN SIEUN ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 Oh, seriously? Then we're rivals! You see, I was applying too... but you'd make an amazing class representative! Maybe, if we end up working together, one of us can be the delegate...

〔 CHOI EUNWOO ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 [smirking] Now I'm perfectly sure to apply, if I have you as a rival. But be careful, I'm not giving up on my position! I'm... Kinda competitive, if I can say so myself. [he ties his hair up in a ponytail]

〔 JIN SIEUN ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 Hey, you won't have it easy either! I'm not going soft on you just because we're friends!

SIEUN PULLS ONE OF HER SLEEVES, THEN PUTS HER PALM ON HER BICEPS TO SHOW HER PRETTY MUCH NONEXISTENT MUSCLES.

〔 JIN SIEUN ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 Bet you didn't expect all this, huh?

〔 CHOI EUNWOO ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 [jokingly, while unable to contain a laugh] Shut up! You're not going to beat me! [laughs]

〔 JIN SIEUN ﹕ CLASS THREE 〕 We'll see that later with votations! [laughs]

WELL, THAT'S WHAT THEY THOUGHT. HOWEVER...

YOU'LL BE ABLE TO FIND OUT THE REST AFTER A SHORT COMMERCIAL BREAK !

YOU HAVE UNLOCKED: x2 EPISODE PARTS and x5 EXTRA TAKES.

FEVEN'S CORNER !!!

Hello there! From now I'll fulfill my promise to keep main chapters around 2000-2500 words because 1) I feel like I'll die if I upload chapters longer than that and 2) it allows me to make more parts which could be either focused on classes individually or more specific trainees. I'm also doing not so well physically wise so I'm sorry in advance if this chapter sucks... I really tried my best and I wanted to get it out of the way as soon as possible.

Secondly... Ta-da! I bet the "elimination" plot twist scared you. No worries, though: it only affects specific CLASS THREE trainees, plus the gap caused by a certain trainee quitting voluntarily... I really have nothing personal against the original owners, but by getting no notices of hiatus I ultimately decided it wasn't worth fighting. Maybe we'll cross paths again in another applyfic and I won't complain...! But it didn't work out this time and it's OK, really.

SURPRISE ACTIVE CHECK !

JUST WRITE ANYTHING YOUR TRAINEE WOULD BRING IN THEIR LUGGAGE ASIDE FROM CLOTHES. MAX. 5 ITEMS ! Even the new trainees that haven't been announced yet must complete this active check.

This is the first active check that can provide a yellow card in case of incompletion without previously announced hiatus.

DEADLINE: MAY 3RD, 11:59 PM (KST).
