🎬 GOING SEVENTEEN 2022 🎬 |(Group Outing, Episode #1)

This series was filmed during a sunny weekend in August...

0.1 PRE-PRODUCTION BEHIND THE SCENES

A camera is focused on S.Coups, who's dressed in a casual oversized shirt and a beanie. He does not make eye contact with the camera and instead looks off-screen at the producer staff member who's leading the interview. As the other members are recorded for their interviews, they also look off-screen and are dressed in comfortable clothing.

-

STAFF: How do you feel about meeting and spending the weekend with the new members of SEVENTEEN's sub-unit?

S.COUPS: "I think all of the members are looking forward to meeting them and getting to know each other. Hopefully, we as seniors can help our sister group feel more comfortable and confident around us."

JEONGHAN: "I've heard great things about them, but I haven't met the younger ones yet. So I think it'll be fun."

WONWOO: "I hope that we all can become friendly and comfortable around each other. I'm looking forward to this weekend."

VERNON: "First of all, I just think it's kinda cool that our company decided on a female sub-unit. I really think the fans are going to like them and... yeah. Of course, I look forward to meeting the new members, too."

THE8: "I think this weekend will be a good opportunity to get to know everyone and try to form new friendships and learn about each other. I also feel optimistic because my friend's little cousin is debuting in this group. So I kind of feel like an attachment already with them. I want them to succeed."

STAFF: There are a few members you know already who you've trained with before your debut. Are you excited to reunite with them again as a team?

WOOZI: "Yeah. I think all the members are gonna be happy to see Sena, Ruby, and Seoyoon again. We were close friends back in the day so I'm sure there'd be no issue meeting again."

JEONGHAN: "They were like our younger sisters, so I think when we see each other and hang out after all these years, it'll be really fun!"

DK: "I'm super excited to tease them and get on their nerves. Can you tell?"

He wears a huge smile.

STAFF: Let's talk about some of the logistics. What food do you want to eat during the outing?

JOSHUA: "Meat!"

JUN: "As long as we have meat, and vegetables, ramyeon, and rice, and noodles... we should be able to cook up something."

DK: "I like... pizza!"

JEONGHAN: "Kimchi and galbi and kimbap..."

VERNON: "I don't know why, but I've been craving Mexican food. Maybe we could have, like, nachos or maybe homemade tacos. That could be cool."

STAFF: What activities would you want to do at the outing site?

SEUNGKWAN: "Volleyball or basketball. Some type of sport. Badminton."

MINGYU: "Basketball or tennis or ping-pong. Something active... ooh, and maybe a workout area?"

HOSHI: "A workout area so I can get Woozi to train me and do our daily exercise with Mingyu and Dino."

JOSHUA: "A pool would be really nice."

S.COUPS: "Sleep... hahaha." 

WONWOO: "Maybe a station for video games?"

DINO: "Karaoke, please!! You have to have karaoke at an outing."

STAFF: What do you hope to get out of this group outing experience?

WOOZI: "Feeling more comfortable with all the members."

JUN: "Getting to know different people and their habits and quirks."

THE8: "I hope we can come together and feel like a group of sisters and brothers."

JOSHUA: "I'm hoping that this outing will bring us closer in a variety of ways..."

HOSHI: "That we can all have fun and get along. And not be afraid of being silly or showing our vulnerabilities."

1.1 EPISODE START

There's a huge travel bus parked beside a sidewalk on a sunny day. The camera focuses on the members of Z10N who are walking out of their dorm with suitcases, bags, and purses in tow. They walk down the sidewalk towards the tour bus's entrance, the sun shining on their excited faces. The first two we see are Ruby and Sena walking side by side. Ruby throws her black sunglasses on with coolness as her jean jacket accidentally falls down her toned shoulder, making her look even cooler. Sena, looking like the model she is, tosses her long brown hair over her shoulders while holding an iced coffee in her hand.

Behind them are Seoyoon and Kimi who are pulling small suitcases while curiously glancing toward the bus. Kimi adjusts her white fedora on her head and runs a finger along her long curly hair which she has styled into two plaits. She sports some feather earrings, too, which match her blouse. Seoyoon takes a sip from her bottled coffee drink and squints into the sun, her red Converse shoes stomping the pavement, before turning to look at the younger members following behind. Cheng and Yin are animatedly chatting away, Yin holding a backpack with cat prints while looping her arm with Cheng who's wearing a crossbody purse over a graphic tee of her favorite hip-hop group.

The female unit climbs onto the travel bus and sits towards the middle on different sides. The bus had velvety blue seats with extra cushion and a headrest for comfort. Similar to an airplane, the bus had controls for air conditioning and reading lights above each pair of seats as well as an overhead space to store bags and luggage. There was also a small TV screen mounted above every few seats so passengers could watch movies, as needed. It was a large bus with at least 15 rows of seats and a restroom all the way in the back.

RUBY: "We're here!!"

CHENG: "Wooo!"

YIN: "Yeah, yeah!!"

RUBY: "Where the boys at?"

She shouts with a huge, playful grin as she hits each seat with her hand on her way toward the middle of the bus. Sena follows behind while sipping her coffee, taking the aisle seat next to Ruby on the left side of the bus.

SEOYOON: "Please tone it down."

Seoyoon finds a seat across the aisle from where Ruby and Sena are sitting, plopping down by the window as Kimi follows her.

RUBY: "Why? Get pumped up, sis! We're on vacation!"

Ruby dances in her seat to some invisible music and checks out the cameras that are located in every corner of the bus. The younger ones, Yin and Cheng, chuckle at their older member as they get themselves situated on the bus. These three are the most excited while the known introverts of the group - Seoyoon, Kimi, and Sena - are more stoic.

SEOYOON: "We haven't gotten there yet. Just chill, okay?"

Seoyoon grins, taking out her cell phone and checking a few notifications as Kimi sits beside her in the aisle seat. Kimi grins at Sena across the aisle then peeps the bus's interior.

KIMI: "This is a nice bus, though."

YIN: "I wonder what we're gonna do when we get there? I wonder what the place looks like?"

RUBY: "[The staff] didn't tell us anything but it's probably a campsite, right?"

The youngest member, Yin, is seated in the window seat in front of Seoyoon, hugging her backpack while looking around the bus in wonder. Beside her, Cheng nods in agreement while fixing her hair.

CHENG: "I'm excited but I'm hungry... I hope we can eat before we do anything."

RUBY: "Didn't you have breakfast this morning?"

CHENG: "Mhm, but I'm still hungry. You think they have snacks?"

She asks while referring to the staff members who are seated towards the front of the bus (hidden from the cameras). Sena grins at Cheng's question.

SENA: "Should we ask them?"

YIN: "Don't you have snacks in your bag?"

As the girls chat about this and that, the main camera focuses on a large group of sneakers and open-toed sandals exiting a building and filing onto the sidewalk. The camera then cuts to the girls on the bus as they notice the boys arriving at once.

YIN: "The oppas are here!"

All of the girls peep out the bus window with curiosity - Yin being the most excited - and share amusement at their entrance. With hopeful smiles and smug grins, the girls watch the boys from inside the bus, waiting on their arrival.

Back on the sidewalk, the main camera pans up to Seventeen's body and then their faces, revealing the popular idol group with dashing good looks.

The group of guys slowly make their way onto the travel bus, appearing for the most part cool and calm. There are only a couple of members that appear more energetic, naturally bringing life to this group outing party, and that's DK, Seungkwan, Hoshi, Mingyu, and Dino. The other members act civilized while boarding the bus (for now). The first handful of members that enter the bus are Hoshi, Dino, and Mingyu; they greet the staff with cheers before landing their eyes on Z10N, giving them the same reaction. Mingyu instantly appears happier as he makes eye contact with his best friend Sena; Hoshi also looks excited to see his mini protege again.

MINGYU: "Wahh..."

HOSHI: "It's our hoobaes!"

RUBY: "Hey!! Welcome to the party."

Yin and Cheng quickly rise from their seat and give a bow to the approaching members, greeting them with respect. The boys also bow back.

MINGYU: "Ah... nice to meet you."

Kimi then stands up and gives a bow to the boys. Even Sena, Ruby, and Seoyoon bow and respect; though they're almost like old family to Seventeen, they were still their seniors.

Hoshi and Mingyu share the seat in front of Ruby and Sena while Dino flashes a friendly smile towards the remaining members, spotting Seoyoon in the back and waving with familiarity.

DINO: "Hey, noona!"

SEOYOON: "Hey, Dino. Long time, no see."

He takes a seat in front of Yin and Cheng's seat.

YIN: "Wah... I'm sitting near the future of KPOP. Daebak!"

Dino and the guys chuckle at her comment of praise; Dino looks embarrassed at the younger member.

DINO: "Ah, you're talking about me?"

YIN: "Of course! Dino sunbae, I watched all of your fancams for the 'HOT' comeback. You were amazing!!"

Dino laughs while covering his face, but he can't hide his huge smile and red face.

DINO: "Oh, wow... thank you."

Next to file onto the bus are Vernon, Wonwoo, and Seventeen's leader S.Coups. The three cool, calm, and collected members swagger to the middle of the bus and greet the girls who all politely bow. Vernon and Wonwoo share a seat in front of Dino as they give a friendly wave to their new hoobaes; Vernon particularly looks surprised to see familiar faces Seoyoon, Ruby, and Sena and he double takes when glancing at L.A. native Kimi.

VERNON: "Wow. Hello. I see some familiar faces."

WONWOO: "Wah... old memories just came flooding back seeing those three."

Dino smiles while observing their reactions.

DINO: "Noonas? Right? I feel like I might get scolded by them like old days."

S.COUPS: "Nice to meet you all!"

S.Coups respectfully waves and bows his head to the girls with a tight-lipped smile, taking the seat in front of Hoshi and Mingyu. He quickly glances back at everyone, but his eyes seem to avoid Seoyoon's.

MINGYU: "Dino, give it time. They'll definitely yell at you for doing something stupid today."

He laughs as small talk fills the bus and some more members find their seats amid conversation. DK, Seungkwan, Joshua, and Jeonghan appear with their small travel bags in hand along with iced coffees. DK, as usual, is belting an old Korean song while Seungkwan harmonizes in fun. Seoyoon smirks and plugs her ears.

SEOYOON: "Agh... why do they have to be so loud?"

RUBY: "Ohhh, look who it is... they don't call you Seventeen's main vocal line for nothing."

A few members chuckle as DK and Seungkwan make eye contact with Ruby and the other girls sitting a few seats away. Seungkwan looks like he's seen a ghost as he wipes his invisible sweat and bows his head.

SEUNGKWAN: "Wah... Ruby sunbae. Don't hurt me."

MINGYU: "Why are you calling her sunbae?"

SEUNGKWAN: "Even though we debuted first, she's still older... and stronger..."

Mingyu and Hoshi chuckle as Seungkwan appears to fix his appearance to be more calm and respectable. He and DK share a seat in front of a smiling S.Coups.

SEUNGKWAN: "Sena! Hello. Seoyoon... everyone else. Nice to meet you."

The girls bow and greet everyone once again.

YIN: "Whoa. What's the tea on why Seungkwan seems scared to see you, Ruby?"

Mingyu chuckles at Yin's comment as they glance back at Ruby.

RUBY: "Oh, there are plenty of reasons why he should be scared, right Boo?"

Ruby replies with a sinister smile that it seems like most of the members are accustomed to. Dino smiles while enjoying Seungkwan's dramatic display of fear.

DINO: "It's mostly because he wouldn't stop talking during trainee days and always used to horse around in practice."

MINGYU: "Ruby wasn't even the dance leader but she would scold everyone more than Sena."

DK: "Hello, everyone! How's everyone doing today?"

JEONGHAN: "Dokyeom... you don't have to yell. I'm sure they all can hear you."

Jeonghan walks behind DK with a cool grin and takes a seat with Joshua in front of Seungkwan and DK's seat.

DK: "Ah... okay. Hey, everyone. Let's have a safe trip and-- Seoyoon-ah! Wah!"

Seoyoon scrunches up her face in fake annoyance as DK discovers the girls' leader all the way in the back next to Kimi. Seoyoon gives a casual nod and plugs a finger into her ear.

SEOYOON: "Hi, Dokyeom..."

At the mention of her name, Jeonghan's face lights up as he and Joshua beside him look Seoyoon's way. Jeonghan waves energetically.

JEONGHAN: "Wah! Our Seoyoon-ah! How have you been?"

SEOYOON: "I'm good."

She nods back with a dimpled grin, her eyebrow rising, as she remembers this same feeling she used to have during trainee days. Those two would always act like bratty little brothers while she was trying to study or write lyrics. And they were always super loud but she could never truly hate them.

JEONGHAN: "Wah, that's good to hear! Isn't it, Dokyeom? Wah... she's been working so hard."

DK: "Of course! She's Z10N's main producer and songwriter. Let us BAKSU!"

DK starts clapping obnoxiously as Jeonghan joins in with a huge smile on his face, but the other members ignore their corny antics.

JEONGHAN: "Wow. We're in the presence of greatness. This is gonna be a great trip!"

RUBY: "Alright. Let's keep it down and let's get it locked and loaded. Who else are we missing?"

DK: "Yes, sir! The last members are arriving now, sir!"

DK awkwardly holds a salute while standing as The8, Jun, and Woozi are the last to board the bus. At their entrance, Yin squeals a little bit from her seat.

YIN: "Daebak! China's treasures..."

Dino chuckles at the youngest's statement, repeating her words as they watch their remaining members gauge the situation at hand.

YIN: "Minghao and Junhui are huge in China. They're like our country's pride."

She fangirls as a few of the members surrounding her overhear this, intrigued by her excitement. Cheng grins, feeling mutual about the two idols. Dino looks back at Yin with curious eyes.

DINO: "Oh, are you from China?"

YIN: "Yes. That's my home country."

DINO: "Nice!"

RUBY: "Yah, Minghao... I should've known you were one of the stragglers."

The8 discovers Ruby sitting in the back and his jaw drops; although he heard the news about the old trainees that were redebuting in the female subunit, he was still surprised to see them up close and personal after all these years. He licks his lips trying to hide his nervous smile, and passes Joshua, Jeonghan, DK & Seungkwan's seats on the right to sit in the open spot next to S.Coups - and near Ruby and the other female members. He nods towards her.

THE8: "What's up?"

RUBY: "My patience is up since you wanna walk in here all late and bring a noisy posse with you..."

The8 snorts at her rebuttal while glancing at his members.

THE8: "I'm not late. The bus isn't scheduled to leave until 9:30. And I can't control my members."

Dino, Mingyu, and S.Coups chuckle at his blunt speech knowing that he's speaking the truth. Seventeen are known to be noisy and there's not much that can be done about it.

RUBY: "I don't care. I said what I said, Mr. Blueberry..."

A few members chuckle as she makes fun of his blue-colored hairstyle. The8 smiles while brushing off Ruby's weak jab. They'd always tease each other as trainees and still do whenever they get the chance to chat. She'd always have to be right and he'd always ignore her.

YIN: "Minghao! It's so nice to meet you. I'm a huge fan and my mom likes you too."

Cheng chuckles while covering her mouth at her member's abrupt confession, watching The8's reaction from just one seat away. As Yin was explaining her Chinese background and enthusing over his latest Chinese variety show appearance, recognition flickers in his eyes as he seems to finally notice Cheng sitting beside her.

THE8: "Thanks. Nice to meet you, Yin. And hey, I just noticed you..."

He giggles while greeting Cheng as the surrounding members listen in to their conversation. Cheng also chuckles and gives him a friendly head bow.

CHENG: "Hello."

THE8: "How have you been?"

CHENG: "I've been good. Things are great right now as you can see."

Cheng chuckles again as The8 nods happily.

MINGYU: "Do you two know each other?"

THE8: "Through mutual connections. Her cousin is a good producer friend of mine in China. He told me his cousin was on 'The Rap of China' and I remember seeing her on it, so I know her but this is the first time we've officially met."

MINGYU: "Ahh... okay."

YIN: "I forgot you told us your cousin knew Minghao, unnie. I'm so jealous of you..."

Yin pulls on Cheng's arm with a small pout. Mingyu and Hoshi look interested from their seats across the aisle.

MINGYU: "So you're Chinese too? Both of you?"

CHENG: "Yes. But I'm American, from New York."

Mingyu nods as a friendly smile forms on his face.

MINGYU: "Ah! That's cool! Vernon's from New York, too."

Vernon, whose brain was somewhere else, peeped back at the mention of his name but didn't think much of it. Mingyu continues the conversation, asking the younger girls their names, and repeats them back before Yin jumps up from her seat and focuses her attention on Jun three seats ahead of her. He had just sat down in front of Vernon and Wonwoo, his silvery-colored hair standing out.

YIN: "Dino sunbae... can you get Jun's attention for me?"

DINO: "Jun hyung? JUN HYUNG!"

Jun looks back at Dino with a curious face, along with Jeonghan and Joshua, as Yin stands to her feet and shouts in the Chinese language.

YIN: (in Chinese) "Wen Junhui, you're my favorite idol! May you live long and prosper!"

CHENG: "Shh. Oh my gawd..."

Jun chuckles as he looks on confused, and The8 finds it amusing.

JUN: "Ah... okay. Thank you."

He chuckles awkwardly as the other members do the same, continuing their other chats on the side. A few of them wonder what Yin said. Meanwhile, Yin is pleased to have gotten her idol's attention.

CHENG: "Why did you make it so awkward? You didn't even introduce yourself properly."

Yin's face lights up as if she forgot something. This time, she shouts in Korean.

YIN: "Ah, yeah. It's very nice to meet you. My name is Yin, and I'm the lead dancer and maknae of Z10N."

DK: "Wow. Look at that! Very nice to meet you Yin of Z10N! We're glad that you're excited to be here."

For some reason DK was talking through a bullhorn, causing every head in the bus to turn.

MINGYU: "Where did he get a bullhorn from?"

Seungkwan takes the object away from DK as Woozi appears near the front of the bus while looking around at the clusters of heads on the bus.

DK: "Woozi! There's an empty spot by Dino or Jun..."

WOOZI: "We have all this room, why are we sitting so close?"

He glances around at all the seats filled in one area, while there are still lots of empty seats towards the back of the bus. He hesitates to find a seat, avoiding eye contact like the introverted man he is.

DK: (acts offended) "Hey! We're family, man... we share germs and seats!"

SEUNGKWAN: "Agh... that comeback could've been a little better."

DK: (laughs) "I agree, I got nervous."

WONWOO: "If we all get our own seat, the cameras would need a wide shot." (laughs)

JEONGHAN: "Anyway, just sit anywhere Jihoon-ah. You can have your own seat."

Woozi sits alone in the row in front of Jun who also is seated by himself. More leg room for them.

SEUNGKWAN: "Finally... we're all here. All the members of Seventeen are here! Applause!"

Most of the Seventeen boys clap their hands in reply to Seungkwan's announcement, smiles filling their faces.

SEUNGKWAN: "Do you know what we're filming for?"

He asks while referencing the multitude of cameramen and women toward the front of the bus.

DK: "No, please tell us Seungkwan-ssi!"

SEUNGKWAN: "It's a historic event... this weekend..."

DK: "Yes!"

SEUNGKWAN: "Seventeen will have our first group outing with our female sub-unit, Z10N!"

He gestures towards Z10N members in the back as applause fills the bus. The girls wear nervous smiles and giggle at the boys' antics. All except Ruby look bashful.

RUBY: "Woo! That's right! BAKSU EVERYONE!"

Ruby stands up in her seat and claps her hands louder, motioning for everyone to follow her. The boys appear delighted at her antics and a few bust out in giggles, like Vernon and S.Coups.

RUBY: "Should we formally introduce ourselves?"

SEUNGKWAN: "Ah, yes. Go ahead."

RUBY: "Seoyoon-ssi, lead us off."

A few of the boys chuckles as Ruby acts like MC number two to Seungkwan's hosting skills. Cheng and Yin have big smiles as they look back at their leader for guidance. With a calm grin, Seoyoon replies.

SEOYOON: "Okay. 2, 3-- Hello, we are--"

Z10N: "Z10N!"

DK: "Woo-hoo! Z10N!"

WOOZI: "I can't see everyone... but hello."

Woozi waves to the Z10N members.

WOOZI: "Seoyoon-ssi all the way in the back. We'll properly greet once we get to the site."

Seoyoon throws a thumbs up to her good friend Woozi. Out of all of the Seventeen members, he's among her closest ally.  She looks forward to catching up with him during this trip.

The staff explains that they're about to go to the group outing site which would take half an hour to get there. The members take their seats and are ready to go. During the bus ride, several conversations are taking place. DK tries to set the mood and start an acrostic poem game suddenly.

DK: "Acrostic poem for the word 'outing'. Go!"

SEUNGKWAN: "Outing? Uh... 'On this beautiful, sunny morning...'"

DK: "U!"

SEUNGKWAN: "'Unified as one team...'"

The members of the bus vocalize their admiration with Seungkwan's clever line. They smile and clap, waiting for him to finish.

JEONGHAN: "Wow! T!"

SEUNGKWAN: "'Together like one big family...'"

JEONGHAN/DK: "I!"

SEUNGKWAN: "'Inside this beautiful big bus...'"

A couple chuckles ring out as Seungkwan begins to sweat but keeps a smile on his face.

DK: "N!"

SEUNGKWAN: "'Needing a break from the stress of daily life...'"

DK: "Wow! G!"

SEUNGKWAN: "'GOING SEVENTEEN WILL BE FILLED WITH LAUGHTER AND FUN TIMES'!"

ALL: "Wowwww!"

SEUNGKWAN: "Everyone, say it with me. Long live Going Seventeen!"

DK/JEONGHAN/JOSHUA: "Long live Going Seventeen!"

Seungkwan dramatically raises his fist and shouts while the members applaud his completed acrostic poem. Yin and Cheng smile while looking impressed at the energy of the group of guys. Laid-back Kimi indulges in a few chuckles herself next to Seoyoon.

SEOYOON: (to Kimi, smiling) "Tell me if you need earplugs..."

KIMI: "I might..." (laughs)

VERNON: (laughs) "Long live Going Seventeen."

WONWOO: "That actually wasn't too bad."

As the bus ride continues, the camera shows the various faces of the boy and girl members. We see Cheng and Yin sharing a piece of chocolate with Dino; we see Hoshi and Vernon snacking on some pocky sticks; we see The8 listening to music with his eyes closed; we see Kimi and Seoyoon happily gazing out of the window at the scenery; we see Ruby and Sena laughing with Mingyu who is turned all the way around in his seat...

1.2 THE DORMS

The members get out of the bus, grabbing their luggage from the underneath cabin. They head towards their living quarters, walking a cobblestone path until they reach a wide grassy area between two modern-looking lakehouses. One house has a patio and outdoor firepit and recreational space on the side like a basketball court. The cool blue lake is hard to miss in the background, sparkling thanks to the sun.

The members are in awe of its appearance, looking visibly content at their temporary home for the weekend. The members breathe in the smell of pine trees and freshly cut grass.

The producers get everyone to form a semi-circle and inform them about their living arrangements. The guys having 13 members will live in the bigger dorm - which isn't really a dorm but a nice two-story house (the one with the patio) with an indoor pool and other amenities - while the girls will live in the smaller dorm beside the sparkling lake. They will sleep 3 to a room, except the boys' dorm will have one bedroom with 4.

After understanding all this, the members choose rooms with a game of rock, paper, scissors. The winners get to choose their rooms first.

For a few seconds, the cameras were catching what appeared to be a rock, paper, scissors tournament...

Finally, rock came on top, and smashed the other opponents! The winners who would get to choose their rooms first were Seungkwan, Joshua, S.Coups, Jeonghan, The8, Seoyoon, Yin, and Ruby.

MINGYU: "Wow... I don't like this. This feels like a conspiracy."

Mingyu playfully cuts his eyes at 95 line as they happily trot towards the boys' dorm. S.Coups giggles before pouting.

S.COUPS: "Why? Are you calling us cheaters? How would we cheat?"

MINGYU: "No, no, no... just forget it. And go."

JEONGHAN: "We'll try to save some space for the rest of you..."

SEUNGKWAN: "Don't be upset. This is winner's circle only!"

The boys arrogantly walk into the dorm while teasing their other members, some of who just watch with laughter. Woozi squints his eyes at them.

WOOZI: "Quickly go. Hurry up so we can choose."

The girls head in the opposite direction towards their dorm beside the lake. Ruby waves the boys off as Seoyoon and Yin slowly follow her.

RUBY: "See you later, boys! Don't miss us too much..."

THE8: "We won't..."

***

Ruby enters the lakeside house and admires the kitchen, the living area with a huge TV, the bathroom, the hot tub, and the bedrooms. Seoyoon and Yin follow while admiring their surroundings, huge smiles on their faces.

YIN: "This is epic! I want this room!"

Yin jumps onto the colorful bed with colorful wallpaper and releases a sigh. She appears to be in heaven.

RUBY: "I got dibs on this bed! Wah, and look at the closet!"

Ruby takes a plunge on a bed in the same room as Yin. Meanwhile, Seoyoon peeps out the other room which has a huge window with a nice view of the lake. She sets her luggage next to one of the beds and peers out the window, looking content.

SEOYOON: "Ah..."

***

Seungkwan and Joshua have finished looking through the boys' dorm, and have selected the same room. They appear happy.

SEUNGKWAN: "Hyung, this is so nice."

JOSHUA: "I know, right?"

SEUNGKWAN: "This is gonna be a great weekend..."

The8 peers into their room with a sly smirk.

THE8: "Are you rooming together?"

SEUNGKWAN: "Yes. You wanna join?"

THE8: "No."

The8 giggles and leaves their room, skipping down the hallway to look at his other options. He peeps into another room where S.Coups is chilling beside Jeonghan.

JEONGHAN: "Ah, Minghao. Have you chosen?"

THE8: "No. I'm still looking... are you two here?"

S.COUPS: (pouts) "I like the other room, but Jeonghan won't go with me."

JEONGHAN: "I like this room. You can go to the other one."

S.COUPS: "I don't wanna be alone... lol"

JEONGHAN: "You'll be fine. The8 will scare the monsters away for you, won't you Minghao?"

THE8: "Monsters?"

S.Coups chuckles.

S.COUPS: "Are you mocking me?"

JEONGHAN: "I would never! I'm just saying we're just one room away if anything happens..."

***

After the winners pick their rooms, the other members hurry and settle into their dorms. We see the boys admire their large kitchen and living room, indoor pool, game room, and bedrooms. The boys are all smiles and easily pick their roommates. The other girls - Sena, Kimi, and Cheng - move their things into their dorm and fall in love with its cozy interior.

The dorm arrangements are as follows:

B1: Seungkwan, Joshua, Wonwoo

B2: S.Coups, Woozi, Hoshi

B3: Jeonghan, DK, Mingyu

B4: The8, Vernon, Dino, Jun

G1: Seoyoon, Kimi, Sena

G2: Yin, Ruby, Cheng

***

There's a bit of free time until the next segment, so the members find time to do random things. Mingyu is in his shared bedroom taking the clothes from his luggage and organizing them on hangers in the closet and in drawers. DK smiles hugely while chilling on his twin-sized bed, his hands in his hair.

DK: "Woah. This house is so huge. I didn't expect it to have a pool as well!"

MINGYU: "I know, right? I'll be down there every night. Plus there's an attached exercise room..."

DK: "Wow. Maybe I'll get Jeonghan to work out with me after dinner. Huh, hyung?"

He shoots a mischievous grin towards the older member who is lying on his bed, his phone in hand.

JEONGHAN: "Huh?"

***

Wonwoo enters room B4 and admires the furniture and overall layout.

WONWOO: "Ah, this is how your room looks."

Vernon sits up from his bed at the sight of Wonwoo, grinning while holding onto his phone.

VERNON: "Ah, hyung. Are you ready?"

WONWOO: "Uh-huh..."

The older scratches his head and adjusts his glasses as Vernon hops to his feet. Dino's jaw drops with curiosity.

DINO: "What are you two doing?"

WONWOO: "We're gonna check out the gaming room for a bit..."

DINO: "Ah... of course."

Dino looks unimpressed as the two members happily leave the room, leaving him with Jun who is unpacking his stuff.

DINO: "Hyung, what are you gonna do?"

JUN: "Me? Nothing serious."

DINO: "Where's The8 hyung?"

JUN: "Uh, I think he went outside to read..."

DINO: "Hm. I think I'm gonna go out to. I'm kind of curious about the girls' dorm. I wonder what the inside looks like..."

JUN: "Mm. Okay. Have fun."

The camera follows Dino as he happily fixes his hair before walking next door to room B3.

DINO: "Hey! What is everyone doing?"

MINGYU: "Why?"

DINO: "Does anyone wanna go with me to check out the girls' dorm?"

DK: "Can we do that?"

DINO: "Why wouldn't we?"

DK: "In case they, like... need their privacy..."

Mingyu brushes off his concern.

MINGYU: "Eh."

DINO: "I'm gonna go right now whoever wants to come..."

MINGYU: "I'm in."

DINO: "Dokyeom hyung?"

DK: "I'm gonna rest here with Jeonghan."

Jeonghan was zoned out on his phone during the whole conversation, but he speaks up at the mention of his name.

JEONGHAN: "How do you know if I wanna stay here or not?"

DK looks surprised.

DK: "Oh! Hyung, did you want to go?"

JEONGHAN: "No. It's too hot."

The other members chuckle at his quick response.

JEONGHAN: (grinning) "I'm gonna rest for now..."

DK: "You don't wanna see Seoyoon?"

He asks this while wiggling his eyebrows at his older member.

JEONGHAN: "Eh... I can bother her later."

The older's cheeks flush at the mention of her name as the members chuckle before they go their separate ways.

DINO: "Okay. See you later!"

Mingyu waves while following Dino out of their bedroom and down the hall. They arrive at room B2 and knock on the open door.

S.COUPS: "Who is it?"

MINGYU: "Me."

S.COUPS: "You can leave."

S.Coups and Mingyu bicker while Woozi lies on his bed playing on his phone, also conserving his energy like a few other members.

DINO: "Who else is sharing your room?"

S.COUPS/WOOZI: "Hoshi."

DINO: "Oh... leader line."

MINGYU: "Where's Hoshi?"

WOOZI: "He went to play a game with Seungkwan. Outside."

MINGYU: "We're gonna go check out the girls' dorm. Wanna come?"

WOOZI: "Ah... the girls' dorm?"

He puts his phone down and ruffles his hair.

WOOZI: "I did want to say hi to Seoyoon..."

DINO: "Are you coming?"

WOOZI: "Yeah. I'll go and meet everyone."

Woozi slowly gets up from his bed and slides down to the floor, finding his sandals and slipping them on with a laid-back ease. S.Coups glances at him while chewing on his bottom lip.

S.COUPS: "You're gonna go?"

WOOZI: "Yeah."

DINO: "Coups, this is your last chance."

MINGYU: "Honestly, shouldn't the leader be present to greet everyone?"

Mingyu chuckles as he gazes at S.Coups, but S.Coups looks shy.

S.COUPS: "Is that my job? It's not like I'm our company's CEO..."

He attempts to joke, filling the room with his nervous laughter.

MINGYU: "Not yet."

DINO: "You don't have to go. But let's hurry before it's time for dinner! Bye, hyung!"

Dino is halfway out the door as Mingyu and Woozi follow behind.

***

Meanwhile, in the girls' lakehouse, they have no idea they're about to be welcomed by a party of three.

Seoyoon and Sena are peacefully chilling in their shared room. Sena is comfortable on a bean bag chair with crossed legs, sipping on some water while Seoyoon lays on her stomach on her twin-sized bed, cuddling a pillow beneath her head; a pair of earphones and an iPod rest beside her.

SENA: "What do you think about seeing the guys again?"

Sena fidgets with her necklace, asking the question viewers are most curious about.

SEOYOON: "It's cool. It's weird because it doesn't feel like anything's changed, except we're all at a bigger company, and now we're like a sister unit instead of our own group..."

SENA: "Yeah... it feels different but still the same. We seen them every now and then inside HYBE even during their busy comebacks... but now, it's like..."

SEOYOON: "We're living with them."

They both chuckle.

SEOYOON: "At least for the show..."

SENA: "Right. At least we get our own house!" (giggles) "Could you imagine? Sharing with 13 guys?!"

Seoyoon groans into her pillow.

SEOYOON: "I got a headache just thinking about it..."

Sena giggles while checking her phone. She replies to a text as her eyebrow wrinkles.

SENA: "Why is Mingyu saying 'We're coming for you hehehe'..."

SEOYOON: "He texted you?"

SENA: "Mhm."

There's a pause before Sena gasps in realization.

SENA: "You think they're coming here? To see us?"

SEOYOON: "Now?"

Seoyoon looks unsure and nervous.

***

The camera cuts to Cheng, Yin, and Kimi in the kitchen searching for some snacks to eat. They were happily surprised that their fridge was stocked with flavored water, tea, juice, soda, and sliced fruit. The staff also gave them a nice box of snacks containing Korean chips and sweet chewy candies among other things.

YIN: "This is so nice!"

She peeps into the box of snacks on the kitchen table while chewing some gummy candy. Cheng sitting next to her is going in on several bags of chips while Kimi leans on the table, casually munching on some cashews while enjoying a break.

CHENG: "I'm so glad they have snacks because I was starving on the bus ride."

Kimi chuckles at her same-age member.

KIMI: "Didn't you have breakfast?"

CHENG: "That was, like, 4 hours ago. And it wasn't enough."

KIMI: "Well, we'll eat soon. Just hang in there."

Yin makes her way to the open-area living room attached to the kitchen and grabs the TV remote.

YIN: "Who'd think they'd have TV out near a lake? I wonder what channels they have..."

She flips through some local stations, failing to find something interesting at this time of day. Suddenly, their conversation is interrupted by a knock at their door. The girls pause what they're doing.

CHENG: (whispers) "Who's that?"

With no hesitation, Kimi stands up straight, fixes her clothes, and walks to the door. She opens it and is pleasantly surprised to see a very tall Mingyu standing in between Dino and Woozi.

MINGYU: "Hello!"

He smiles big while greeting Kimi who also smiles comfortably. She bows her head in greeting as the guys respectfully do the same. It seems a bit formal, but this is their first time meeting. From the kitchen table, Yin and Cheng appear slightly nervous while rising to their feet in preparation.

KIMI: "Hello!"

DINO: "I hope we're not interrupting anything. We came by to check out your living space."

Dino explains in a friendly tone, rubbing his hands together.

KIMI: "Ah, no problem. We were just eating some snacks. Uh, come in."

Kimi opens the door wider and the guys file into the kitchen, looking curiously around at the smaller but still luxurious space.

DINO: "Wah... this is nice, too. How could a lakehouse be like this?"

MINGYU: "I know, right?"

DINO: "I could live here." (chuckles)

Yin and Cheng immediately bow while greeting the guys.

YIN/CHENG: "Hello!"

DINO/MINGYU/WOOZI: "Hello! Hello!"

WOOZI: "We wanted to greet you guys before dinner. I'm Woozi, what are your names?"

The girls share their names with the guys and vice versa.

WOOZI: "Nice to meet you."

MINGYU: "Are you liking things so far?"

He asks with a friendly grin as they all stand around the kitchen counter. The girls nod in unison, giving positive praise.

YIN: "We're especially enjoying the snacks."

The guys chuckle at her remark.

CHENG: "Ah, did you guys want some? Feel free to--"

WOOZI: "Oh, that's okay. They gave us a box, too."

Mingyu looks confused.

MINGYU: "They did?"

WOOZI: "Yeah. In the kitchen..."

MINGYU: "Ah... I didn't see it..."

CHENG: "Regardless, you can still take one."

Cheng offers to be polite as Mingyu and Dino slowly approach the box of snacks, looking like excited kids.

DINO: "Only one?"

The group chuckles.

CHENG: "Haha! I mean--"

YIN: "She's being nice. If it was one of us girls asking, she wouldn't share at all..."

The guys burst out in comfortable laughter once again as they chose their snacks.

WOOZI: "So how old are you all?"

YIN: "I'm the youngest. Born in 2001."

WOOZI: "2001?"

Woozi's jaw drops as he looks half amazed half scared at this revelation, doing the math in his head. Mingyu and Dino giggle at his reaction.

WOOZI: "So you're... 21?"

YIN: "Yes."

MINGYU: "And you said you were from China, correct?"

Mingyu asks while opening his bag of candy and confidently pouring some into his hand.

YIN: "Correct. And Cheng is Chinese too but she's from America."

WOOZI: "Ah, cool." (to Cheng) "How old are you?"

CHENG: "Born in 2000."

The guys nod while seeming interested then they turn their attention to Kimi, appearing even more interested in the brown-skinned member.

WOOZI: "And you? Kimi?"

KIMI: "I was born in 2000 as well, and I'm also American. From California."

DINO: "Ah... California. So cool."

Mingyu beams at her like a puppy dog.

MINGYU: "Can I ask what your family's background is?"

KIMI: "Like, my ethnicity?"

MINGYU: "Yes."

KIMI: "I'm half Peruvian and half Indigenous. So a lot of my roots are in South America."

The guys vocalize their satisfaction and curiosity with her answer, genuinely appearing fascinated by her diverse background.

DINO: "So nice."

He smiles as Kimi nods her head while grinning. Suddenly, Seoyoon and Sena emerge from their bedroom just after the end of their introductions. The guys' attention focuses on their entrance, both ladies appearing in a good mood, but slightly shy.

SEOYOON: "Hello..."

DINO: "Noona. It's good to see you!"

Dino smiles at their appearance, sticking a hand into his jeans pocket though it seems like he was hesitant to give them a friendly hug.

SEOYOON: "You too, Dino." (grins)

SENA: "I got Mingyu's text, so we figured you might visit us."

MINGYU: "We wanted to check out your dorm... can you give us a tour?" (chuckles)

SENA: "Sure, I guess."

YIN: "We were curious about your dorm, too."

She speaks up.

YIN: "Can we tour yours too?"

DINO: "Of course! We'll have to film over there anyway, but we can show you the whole house before then."

MINGYU: "It's really nice. We have a pool and an exercise gym..."

Cheng looks impressed.

CHENG: "Really? I think I saw a basketball court behind your house, too."

YIN: "We have a hot tub!"

DINO/WOOZI: "Really?"

MINGYU: "Daebak... perhaps... you wanna switch?"

He laughs along with some of the girls.

YIN: "We might let you try it out... maybe..."

The youngest's comment makes Mingyu chuckle even more as they keep up the conversation.

MINGYU: "Where's the hot tub? Let's start there first..."

YIN: "It's in the back..."

Kimi, Cheng, and Yin lead the guys out the kitchen and towards the back of the house where the hot tub room is. Seoyoon and Sena follow behind the guys as they get a quick tour of the place.

***

Meanwhile... out on the basketball court near the boys' dorm, Seungkwan, Hoshi, and Ruby are playing a basketball game of HORSE. And Ruby is winning, of course, with Seungkwan not too far behind. Hoshi is the biggest loser. He's still on the letter 'H'.

RUBY: "Years later and Hoshi's still not good at games..."

SEUNGKWAN: "Yes. It's a shame, isn't it? With a body like his, you'd think he'd be good at some sport, but he has two left feet.."

Hoshi giggles as the other two dog his athletic skills. A few members walk by and watch Hoshi miss another shot while clapping their hands.

SEUNGKWAN: "Wow... hyung... I know you're usually bad, but you're on another level today..."

Hoshi giggles some more and chucks the basketball towards the hoop, but it bounces off the rim and heads straight toward The8, who is comfortably sitting near the porch reading a book. The basketball hit his foot. He quickly looks up from his reading and scoffs at the culprit.

THE8: "HEY! I'M NOT THE NET..."

***

10 minutes later, the girls' dorm tour is done, and they meet in the kitchen again.

DINO: "Wow, really good. The house is so nice."

WOOZI: "I just realized, where's Ruby?"

SEOYOON: "She was playing badminton with Seungkwan, or something..."

WOOZI: "Ah..."

MINGYU: "No wonder it's so quiet in here." (laughs)

DINO: "Don't let Ruby noona hear you say that."

MINGYU: "I don't care. What is she gonna do?"

Mingyu teases in a mocking voice. Sena pulls out her phone and pretends to text someone while reading the message out loud.

SENA: "'Dear Ruby, Mingyu was saying how loud you are...'"

Mingyu and the others chuckle at her gesture before he dramatically huffs in annoyance.

MINGYU: "Aye... tattletale."

DINO: "Should we check out the boys' dorm now?"

Yin and Cheng happily agree while Kimi silently nods. In the midst of small talk, the members file out of the lakehouse with Woozi and Seoyoon last.

WOOZI: "Hey, is it okay if me and Seoyoon catch up shortly? We'll meet you later." (to Seoyoon) "If that's okay."

Woozi glances at Seoyoon who casually nods in response as the members wait for her reply.

SEOYOON: "Sure."

DINO: "Okay. Catch up. We'll see you both later. Bye!"

Dino waves while leaving the house and Seoyoon gives him the same friendly gesture back.

YIN: "Have fun!"

The youngest smiles back at Seoyoon and Woozi before waving them off.

SEOYOON: "Mhm!"

Once the others finally exit, Seoyoon eyes Woozi with a grin as he sighs, scratching his head.

SEOYOON: "How have you been?"

Woozi nods his head while looking at Seoyoon, a small grin on his face.

WOOZI: "Good. Good."

SEOYOON: "Should we sit?"

Seoyoon gestures to the couch and follows Woozi over to a seat. She turns the TV off to save energy.

SEOYOON: "Do you want anything to drink?"

WOOZI: "Nah, I'm good. Thanks."

Woozi sits on the couch as a grinning Seoyoon sits on the other end, folding one of her legs under her thigh and turning her body to face him.

SEOYOON: "What's up? I saw you, like, last week." (chuckles)

WOOZI: "Yeah. I'm good. How have things been going? With the group and everything."

Woozi has a hopeful grin on his face while waiting for his friend's response.

SEOYOON: "Good. The members are good; everyone gets along well."

WOOZI: (nods) "That's good. They seem nice. And funny, too. I'm interested to get to know them more."

SEOYOON: "They're good kids. I'm excited for us as a group... it's been a while since I felt positive about my group going well. Since the last group ended abruptly..."

Seoyoon lifts an eyebrow and turns her head as she mentions her old group. Woozi nods with empathy.

WOOZI: "Right. Well, that's good. That means everything's working as it should."

Seoyoon nods and eyes him again.

SEOYOON: "Yep. But anyway, it's good to be here and feel supported. I'm not worried about anything in the past, I'm only looking forward."

WOOZI: "That's good. I hope you're not overworking yourself in the process..."

SEOYOON: "Shouldn't I be telling you that, Mr. World Tour?"

Woozi chuckles shyly while looking down.

SEOYOON: (smiles) "Aren't you guys starting soon?"

WOOZI: "Mhm. Next week we fly to Vancouver for the North American leg. We'll be in America for the whole month..."

SEOYOON: "Dang. That's impressive. Well, have fun."

WOOZI: "I know it's gonna be tiring, but... we've trained for this, so I know we'll get through it."

***

As the members are getting acquainted with each other and their temporary weekend homes, the staff are about ready to film the next segment of the show special. Everyone is accounted for except Seoyoon and Woozi who spent the last half hour chatting away. They were having such a comfortable conversation that they didn't notice the time... until S.Coups was sent to bring them to the living room within the boys' dorm for filming.

After walking from the boys' house to the girls', S.Coups knocked on the girls' front door and shouted their names in his leader voice. But a less harsh, semi-anxious leader voice.

S.COUPS: "Woozi. Seoyoon."

WOOZI: "Huh?"

From the couch, they're caught off guard by S.Coups' voice; Seoyoon slightly stiffens in surprise while glancing at the door.

S.COUPS: "Are you in there? The filming is about to start. The staff are looking for you..."

Seoyoon checks the time on her phone and stands to her feet. Woozi follows.

SEOYOON: "Oh... it's already time."

WOOZI: "Ah! Okay. We're coming!"

S.COUPS: "Is it unlocked?"

S.Coups wiggles the door handle and opens the door, making eye contact with the two familiar colleagues. His eyes seem to glaze over Seoyoon as he speaks, and she also avoids his gaze.

S.COUPS: "Oh. Are you done?"

WOOZI: "Yeah. We must've been chatting for a while... I didn't realize."

Woozi softly chuckles while following S.Coups out of the house with Seoyoon following behind the two, tucking a hair behind her ear as they tread across the grass.

S.COUPS: "That's okay. As long as you caught up well..."

There's a pause.

S.COUPS: "Did Mingyu and Dino meet you too?"

WOOZI: "Yeah. They left before us with the other girls to tour the guys' house..."

S.COUPS: "You two must've had an interesting conversation..."

His comment sounded a bit sarcastic in Seoyoon's ears as she scoffed under her breath.

WOOZI: "Yeah, well... I think you and Seoyoon should catch up as well."

There are no further comments as they arrive at the boys' dorm.

1.3 ICE BREAKER + DINNER

In the afternoon, the members all crowd into the spacious living room of the guy's dorm, some sitting on the couch, some sitting on the floor, some standing. The staff have provided bottles of water and other drinks, along with packaged snacks. It felt like they were at a Superbowl party, but instead, it was a variety show vacation episode. Since they hadn't showered yet, they still wore light make-up and their hair looked photoshoot-worthy thanks to their stylists.

The members decide on an icebreaker game after making introductions to each other.

JEONGHAN: "What kind of game should we play?"

HOSHI: "What if we do like a two truths and a lie? You have to say a fact about yourself and then a lie about yourself, and then everyone else has to guess what's true?"

The members nod their heads in agreement.

SEUNGKWAN: "I agree, but since it could be too easy since we know each other, what if we get the other unit to guess what's the lie? So the Seventeen members will say their truth and their lie, and then one of the Z10N members will have to guess."

VERNON: "Okay."

JEONGHAN: "That sounds good."

DINO: "So it's just one truth and one lie? Not two?"

MINGYU: "Since there are so many members... one truth and one lie should be enough screen time."

SEUNGKWAN: "Look at you thinking about screen time." 

MINGYU: "I mean, we have 19 members here... let's just keep it simple."

THE8: "I agree."

JEONGHAN: "OK. Since we've agreed on that, let's start! Who wants to go first!"

He says with an unexpected burst of energy, causing his members to burst out in chuckles. Clearly, the oldest member is ready to push things forward and get a move on so he can go back to his room and rest early.

S.COUPS: "Are you tired already?" (laughs)

JEONGHAN: "No, I'm just soooo excited to start the game!" (smiles)

Another collective of laughs erupts in the crowded living room.

JEONGHAN: "Should I go first? Or should we let our hoobaes go?"

SEUNGKWAN: "Let's not put too much pressure on them. This is their first variety show after all..."

Mingyu chuckles at Seungkwan's MC-like gestures and response.

SEUNGKWAN: "How about we show them kind of an example, and then they can go in the middle?"

WOOZI: "Alright. Who's gonna go first?"

DK: "Since Jeonghan offered, Jeonghan go first! One truth and one lie."

Jeonghan smiles, appearing ready to start off the game. He doesn't need to think long before he has his one truth and one lie.

JEONGHAN: "Okay. So... my favorite fruit is grapefruit and my favorite vegetable is carrots."

VERNON: "Oh... nice." (nodding his head)

A few members chuckle at Vernon's reaction.

DK: "Why? What's that about?"

VERNON: "Just some good choices."

DK laughs while Vernon keeps a straight face while nodding. Jeonghan looks at the female members with raised eyebrows.

JEONGHAN: "Who would like to take a guess which one is a truth and which is a lie?"

The girls glance at each other before the youngest, Yin, raises her hand with a smile. She's sitting cross-legged on the couch.

YIN: "I'll guess."

RUBY: "Ooh, our maknae."

WONWOO: "Ah, the maknae?"

RUBY: (to Yin) "What do you think?"

YIN: "I think the lie is that you like carrots."

SEUNGKWAN: "And the answer is..."

JEONGHAN: "That's right."

YIN: "WOO-HOO!"

Yin waves her hands in the air and smiles really big, causing the other members to chuckle at her cute reaction. She high-fives Cheng who's sitting beside her also smiling.

YIN: "Do I win a prize?" (pouts)

Jeonghan and Joshua chuckle beside each other. Cheng grabs a bag of cookies from the table of snacks and throws it in Yin's lap.

CHENG: "There's your prize."

JEONGHAN: "So my turn's over, right?"

DK: "That's right! Who is next?"

HOSHI: "I'll go! I was thinking about this while everyone was talking..." (laughs) "I like to play video games and I enjoy swimming."

SEUNGKWAN: "OK. Who wants to guess?"

They look toward the girls with hopeful eyes as Ruby raises her hand with a confident smirk.

RUBY: "Last time I checked, I used to beat you in Mario Kart during breaks when we were trainees. So how could you like video games if you're not even good at them?"

The room erupts in chuckles - even Hoshi laughs at Ruby's roast.

VERNON: "Wait, I remember that..." (smiles)

WONWOO: "To be fair, Hoshi's not even good at technology."

More chuckles erupt throughout the room.

WOOZI: "Right. Video games are out of his league."

Vernon and Mingyu crack up along with an embarrassed Hoshi.

SEUNGKWAN: "Ruby got it right. Let's keep it moving along. Who's up next?"

DINO: "I'll go."

...one after another, the members share a truth and a lie. There are some obvious lies and some very clever ones...

JOSHUA: "I like rock music but I don't know how to play the guitar."

KIMI: "Hm... I'll guess that you don't like rock music. That's the lie."

Joshua smiles and shakes his head.

JOSHUA: "Nope. I like all types of music and I do know how to play the guitar."

KIMI: (impressed) "Oh, really? I play guitar, too!"

JOSHUA: "Oh, for real? That's cool! What kind? Acoustic or electric...?"

KIMI: "Both. I've played the ukulele, too."

A few Seventeen members nod with interested looks on their faces.

SEUNGKWAN: "Sadly, Kimi, you didn't answer correctly. But you found a common interest! Maybe you two should hold a guitar session this weekend."

Kimi chuckles at his suggestion along with the other members.

MINGYU: "You think the staff members brought a guitar here?" (chuckles)

STAFF: "We actually did."

Mingyu's eyes widen as he looks towards the cameras. DK and Dino laugh.

MINGYU: "Oh, you did? Oh... okay. I guess you can have a guitar session then." (smiles)

***

YIN: "I was a dancer in a KPOP idol's music video and I have been to a KPOP concert before."

The maknae smiles while glancing around the room at the Seventeen members, a few of whom are eating snacks. DK raises his hand to guess.

DK: "I think that you weren't a dancer in a music video..."

SEUNGKWAN: (to DK) "Obviously that's true, because she's a ballerina dancer. What's wrong with you?"

DK: "Oh, really?"

YIN: "How did you know that?"

SEUNGKWAN: "I do my research. I'm not the king of variety shows for no reason..."

He cockily runs a hand through his hair as Mingyu and The8 cringe from the side.

DK: "Either way, it's my guess!"

S.COUPS: "Yeah. This is DK's turn now. You've had your turn already!" (chuckles)

SEUNGKWAN: "Alright. Alright. Excuuuuuseee me for trying to help. Yin, did DK guess correctly?"

YIN: "Nope. I was a dancer in a KPOP idol's video. That's the truth. I've never been to a KPOP concert."

DK: "Aww..."

CHENG: "You've never been to one?"

YIN: "They've never come near my city in China... and I've never left the country to travel to one either." (chuckles)

RUBY: "Oh, we're gonna have to change that. Just pick an artist, and all of us unnies will take you to their concert."

Yin chuckles as DK frowns.

DK: "Wait. So you've been in a music video before? Do we know it?"

YIN: "Actually, it was Jun sunbaenim's video for his Chinese single."

Jun's eyes widen from the other side of the room, and his jaw drops. He glances at the cameras and chuckles.

JUN: "What?!"

Minghao and Cheng chuckle at his reaction.

WONWOO: "You were in Jun's music video and he didn't even know?! Wow..."

YIN: (laughs) "Don't misunderstand. It was a couple years ago for his debut single, and it was filmed in separate rooms. I never actually met him in person on set since we recorded separately. So that's why he may not recognize me..."

SEUNGKWAN: "But still..."

The cameras and members all glance at Jun.

WONWOO: "Jun, didn't you watch your own video?"

JUN: "I'm stunned... I don't remember her face. Haha." (nervous laughter)

YIN: "It's okay! It's okay!"

DK: "Jun, you have some making up to do..."

Everyone teases Jun for not recognizing Yin, and he chuckles awkwardly while sipping on some water. Yin chuckles along but assures him that she doesn't take any offense. Seungkwan suggests they create a reaction video together and watch that music video, and this gets another round of laughter going.

RUBY: "Alright. It's my turn. I own a motorcycle and I'm taking surfing lessons."

JOSHUA: "Wow..."

WOOZI: "I feel like either one of these could be true... haha."

SEUNGKWAN: "Anyone wanna guess? Minghao?"

THE8: "Me?"

SEUNGKWAN: "We haven't heard from you too much."

THE8: "Um... I don't think you'd have a use for a motorcycle, so maybe taking surfing lessons?"

RUBY: "Why wouldn't I use a motorcycle?"

She raises a sassy eyebrow and crosses her arms. Minghao smiles nervously.

THE8: "I just mean because you get driven everywhere... just like you wouldn't need a car."

RUBY: "Mmhmm..."

She teasingly strokes her chin in consideration.

CHENG: "So what's the truth?"

RUBY: "The truth is... I own a motorcycle."

SENA: "Really?!"

The group looks surprised, including the Z10N members.

MINGHAO: "It's not a real one, I bet."

RUBY: "It is real! It's at my parent's house. I actually share it with my brother, but he's in the military so... my parents are looking after it."

SEOYOON: "Ah... really? I didn't know that."

The group looks interested in her revelation.

DK: "I'm still quite shocked that you have one... lol."

YIN: "Do you know how to ride one?"

RUBY: "Yes! What do you mean? Do you know who you're talking to?"

Yin and Cheng giggle at their members' confident statement.

SEUNGKWAN: "Ruby is truly cool... I can't even say anything negative."

***

SEOYOON: "This is about my trainee days. I took a breakdancing workshop, and I was initially supposed to be a rapper in the group when I first joined Pledis..."

Sena glances at her member, looking surprised.

SENA: "This is before Z10N?"

SEOYOON: "Yep."

WOOZI: "At Pledis, huh?"

A couple Seventeen members look deep in thought. Hoshi, Wonwoo, and S.Coups slightly chuckle. Jeonghan tilts his head while making eye contact with Seungkwan.

JEONGHAN: "Ah... this one's kind of tough because I can't see you doing either one."

A couple of chuckles ring out.

DINO: "Did you really try breakdancing?"

Seoyoon shrugs her shoulders with a teasing grin.

DK: "Seoyoon is a good vocalist... but there's no way she'd be a rapper. That's obvious, right?" (laughs)

SEUNGKWAN: "Alright. Who wants to guess? Anyone? Hoshi? Why are you giggling?"

HOSHI: "No... it's because both seem ridiculous but one is actually true."

JEONGHAN: "Do you know?"

HOSHI: "Yes. But I'll let someone else guess."

The Seventeen members glance around, but no one seems to be confident in the right answer. Then, Dino raises his hand.

DINO: "I'll just take a stab at it. The lie is breakdancing."

SEOYOON: "Correct. I never did it, but it was something I wanted to try."

Though Dino guessed correctly, a surprised uproar fills the room. Seoyoon lifts an eyebrow and softly chuckles while observing the male members' reactions.

VERNON: "So wait... you were supposed to be a rapper?"

DK: "No way."

SEOYOON: "Mhm." (chuckles) "I guess they were testing the waters to see what all I could do, and they wanted another rapper besides Ruby."

Ruby smiles and points towards Seoyoon.

RUBY: "I remember the CEO had her do a rap session with S.Coups and Wonwoo..."

The two mentioned members burst out laughing at the memory along with Hoshi.

SEUNGKWAN: "REALLY?!"

JOSHUA: "Hoshi, you knew this too?"

HOSHI: "I overheard her rapping one day with Coups and Wonwoo... wow... it was crazy..."

Vernon is all smiles as he holds in his laughter.

VERNON: "No way."

MINGYU: "Was she good?"

WONWOO: "Sorry, but CEO made the right choice not to have her rap." (chuckles) "To make it worse, they had S.Coups be her teacher. And despite how bad she was, he kept saying it was okay and being really patient. Meanwhile, I was on the sidelines trying to hold in my laughter."

JEONGHAN: "Wow... pre-debut S.Coups being patient?! That sounds like a fantasy!"

The guys burst out in laughter as S.Coups sulks at Jeonghan.

S.COUPS: "Hey! Why would that be a fantasy? I was patient back then! Maybe not with you!"

DK: "He must've felt bad for Seoyoon... haha."

S.COUPS: "No, no, it's not like that."

SEUNGKWAN: "Anyway, let's keep it moving..."

After the game and snacks, the group decided on who would cook dinner for the first night. Each team had their obvious candidates - Mingyu and Seoyoon - who were arguably the best cooks in the group. Lucky for everyone, these two didn't mind putting their cooking skills to work and making a big meal using the groceries and cooking utensils provided by the staff. With quickness and ease, Mingyu and Seoyoon prepared kimchi stew! Mingyu sliced the pork and cut the onions, while Seoyoon diced the tofu and scallions.

MINGYU: "Ah! My eyes!"

He wailed as he quickly diced a white onion on a chopping board. DK and Seungkwan stand around him and laugh at his pain.

DINO: "I see why Seoyoon made you chop the onions... haha."

Seventeen's youngest laughs while standing on the other side of the kitchen counter near Seoyoon, the large bowl of almost-prepared stew bubbling in front of them. Yin excitedly stands next to Dino while curiously looking at the stew. Seoyoon chuckles while placing the sliced tofu into the stew and covering the pot with a lid.

MINGYU: "This is torture!!"

He dramatically wailed as he added the final ingredients into the pot and replaced the lid. He quickly threw away his gloves and washed his hands before cleaning his mess.

WOOZI: "Better you than us!"

Woozi says from his place on the couch. He was resting with his shoes off next to Vernon, Wonwoo, Minghao, and Jun who were chatting. Hoshi, S.Coups, and Jeonghan left to quickly take a shower so that the guys wouldn't have to wait as long to shower after everyone ate. Cheng, Kimi, and Joshua sat on another couch while lightly chatting, sharing their American backgrounds.

MINGYU: "Okay, everyone! The stew has to simmer for 10 minutes, then we should be ready to eat!"

WONWOO: "Woo-hoo!"

DK: "Seoyoon noona, thank you for being willing to cook dinner for us."

SEOYOON: "Of course."

She replies with a cool attitude while cleaning the kitchen counter.

YIN: "She usually cooks for us, anyway. She's the best cook!"

DK: "Oh, really? That's nice." (smiles)

MINGYU: "Hey, what about me?" (pouts)

DK: "Thank you, Mingyu!!!"

He gives Mingyu a big hug.

DINO: "I'll bet Seoyoon's cooking tastes better than Mingyu's..."

Mingyu sucks his teeth and frowns at his younger member.

MINGYU: "Boo... you suck up."

Dino chuckles, but his eyes never leave Seoyoon's actions.

DINO: "Noona, can we help with anything while we wait?"

Seoyoon washes her hands and glances around the kitchen.

SEOYOON: "Uh... you could find some bowls for everyone. And spoons."

DINO: "Okay!"

YIN: "I can help, too!"

SEUNGKWAN: "Aw... look at our maknaes being good helpers."

MINGYU: "Aye, aren't you a younger one, too? Shouldn't you be helping also?"

SEUNGKWAN: "Ah, as they say, there are too many cooks in the kitchen... so I'm just gonna go rest my feet..."

Seungkwan comically leaves the kitchen and joins the other members in the living room as DK and Mingyu chuckle at him.

***

15 MINUTES LATER...

The food is ready and the bowls are prepared for the members and the behind-the-scenes staff. Between filming, the staff prepared two long tables that could fit 10 people each in the latter portion of the living room. That's where Seventeen and Z10N are sitting, waiting for their meal. Except...

SEOYOON: "Where's Ruby and Sena?"
