"The SECOND mission is going to be a big one!" Hongchul announced on the second day. "THIS will be your first stage!"

"Already?!" I muttered.

Ryujin sighed next to me.

"The top 9 will be standing on the stage, while the lower classes will be standing as backup dancers, or not even on stage at all! This is a fierce competition to shine on stage!" Hongchul said. "But there's more!"

"There will be video evaluations, this deciding the ranks. The song you will be performing and practicing is..." Hongchul said.

A video popped up of Teddy, followed by a song called "Just Dance." It was catchy, and the main dance was really cute.

At least make it into A-class. Pleasepleasepleaseplease-

"Shin Ryujin, 27th place, A-Class."

Ryujin let out a sigh next to me, but I stayed tensed, hoping to hear my name in the A-class.

"Now announcing B-class members." Hongchul said.

I closed my eyes in frustration. "At least B-class."

Ryujin put a hand on my shoulder, she was cheering for me too.

"...Now announcing C-class."

My heart dropped. My rank is that low? I felt embarrassed to be in JYP and be in C-class. The lowest class. I felt a lump in my throat and my eyes stung with tears. This isn't what I was looking for, am I not working hard enough?

WOO JINYOUNG POV.

I sighed in relief as my name was called in B-class. At least I wasn't C-class, or even lower. But I knew I could do better than this, I won't get eliminated like last time in Produce 101.

"Hwang Jihyun, 70th place, C-class."

My jaw dropped, and I scanned the crowd, looking for Jihyun's face. How is she so low? Her skills and visuals are better than some in even B-class, and she should be popular because she's in JYP.

I saw Jihyun's expression harden as she dropped her head looking at her feet. I frowned, feeling sorry for her.

HWANG JIHYUN POV.

I walked to the first class for C-class, sighing the entire time. How did I make C-class? Was I that bad??

Maybe this was a bad idea, after all.

I silently sat down in front of the teacher, Suran. I felt intimidated a little since her music was so good, and she was so pretty.

Suran scanned the crowd. "Looks like you all aren't happy about being C-class."

I nodded.

"That's why, you just need to practice to get up. Don't worry."

Everyone's faces lifted.

"Okay, I guess we'll start practicing, then." Suran said, before explaining the songs and lines.

C-class practiced for a while, but I (as usual) had a hard time making friends so I practiced alone in a corner.

"You're in JYP, right?" A voice asked behind me. I turned around, and was greeted by Suran.

I nodded slowly. "It's kind of embarrassing."

"Don't worry, when YG was ranking people, he said that he'd like you to be more motivated and work harder. He wants you to desperately work for top 9, instead of giving it to you." She put a hand on my shoulder. "He knows you can do it, that's why he's testing it."

Hearing that lifted my spirits a little. I smiled and nodded. "I will work my hardest from now on."

"I bet you will." Suran said, before walking away.

Through the two days, I got good evaluations from the coaches, so I was hoping to get my rank up with the video evaluation, and prove that I'm worth the title of JYP.

The day was today to start the video evaluations. I practiced, waiting for my turn. I was confident this time, I had worked hard for the past two days.

I entered the room, with cameras in front. The music started, and I danced and sang as best as I could while dancing. The most difficult part was dancing while singing and not breathing really heavily.

The performance ended, and I exited the room, happy. I'm pretty sure I did okay.

"How was it?" Jinyoung asked me.

"I didn't make any mistakes so that's good." I said.

"Good. Let's both make it into the top 9!" Jinyoung said, giving me a high five.

I smiled and nodded.

_

The results were released the next day, and I was put in a room with a girl named Hayoung. She's the one that took Ryujin's debut bus spot that one time, if I recall.

They turned the sign around for us to see.

TOP 9

My jaw dropped to the floor and I let out a yell of happiness. "YES!!"

Hayoung cheered happily next to me.

I gave her a high five. "We made it!!!"

I went from C-class to the top 9. FUCK YEAH I TOLD YOU I COULD DO IT-

The door opened, revealing a girl named Hayoon. We all cheered together as more and more members entered. Soon, all top 9 members were present. I was disappointed that I wasn't here with my best friend.

I wonder what rank Woo Jinyoung got?

We were all released soon enough into free time. Thank god, my muscles can't handle anymore practicing.

I was laying in my bed at the dorm when my phone started dinging multiple times.

I turned my head to the side and glared at Ryujin laying on the second bed next to mine. "Did you give Jinyoung my number??"

"Yeah. He said it was only for business and training purposes." Ryujin replied.

"Why would he need it for that..." I muttered.

"I dunno dude, he probably likes you."

"Shut up." I said.

Me:

I was shocked when I heard the news.

For next upcoming days, the different classes would be practicing, and at the end of it, there will be a competition to switch ranks. The worst member of the higher class would switch with the best member of the lower class.

That would mean my top 9 rank could be taken away from me.
