❙ ✧ ›› LEE RAEIN ⨾ F/BE:LIFT
I couldn't even feel the envelope but it
still felt heavy. I hate it.

❙ ✧ ›› HWANG NARI ⨾ F/JYP
I don't think I'll forgive myself if I have
to essentially send home my teammates...

❙ ✧ ›› KWON JOOWON ⨾ F/FANTAGIO
I wish I could've seen the colours of the
cards inside but it's like they placed
white cards on either side to hide any
hints.

❙ ✧ ›› CHOI SUNGHOON ⨾ M/WM
[ antsy ] I mean we got good critiques...

❙ ✧ ›› CHOI SUNGHOON ⨾ M/WM
do you think we did well enough to get
silver?

❙ ✧ ›› SEO HYUNWOO ⨾ M/WM
I mean yeah... but what about my mistake?

❙ ✧ ›› CHOI SUNGHOON ⨾ M/WM
I don't think you did that bad. it was just
one word you forgot to sing.

❙ ✧ ›› SEO HYUNWOO ⨾ M/WM
[ shakes head ] I feel like that ruined my
changes of getting silver.

SUNGHOON ROLLS HIS EYES AS HE
GRABS THE ENVELOPE FROM
HYUNWOO AND OPENS IT. HE PULLS
OUT TWO SILVER CARDS.

❙ ✧ ›› CHOI SUNGHOON ⨾ M/WM
well, would you look at that?

❙ ✧ ›› SEO HYUNWOO ⨾ M/WM
I GOT SILVER?

❙ ✧ ›› SEO HYUNWOO ⨾ M/WM

❙ ✧ ›› MAVIS SONG ⨾ F/RBW
this should be pretty easy... there's
only two of us.

❙ ✧ ›› JEON DOYEON ⨾ F/RBW
yeah... anyway just open it! I'm
curious.

❙ ✧ ›› MAVIS SONG ⨾ F/RBW
[ opens envelope ] okay, there's a silver card...

❙ ✧ ›› MAVIS SONG ⨾ F/RBW
that belongs to me and you got
yellow.

❙ ✧ ›› JEON DOYEON ⨾ F/RBW
that's okay! I mean it. I didn't have
that high of expectations. I came
here with only decent vocals...

MAVIS PUSHES DOYEON'S
SHOULDER LIGHTLY.

❙ ✧ ›› MAVIS SONG ⨾ F/RBW
don't say that! you did amazing. let's
work hard so we can debut together,
okay?

❙ ✧ ›› JEON DOYEON ⨾ F/RBW
[ smiles ] why of course! it would be
an honour to debut with THE mavis
song.

────────────────────────

FANTAGIO'S ROOM !

JOOWON HESITATED AS SHE WALKED
IN AND SHUT THE DOOR BEHIND HER.

❙ ✧ ›› KWON JOOWON ⨾ F/FANTAGIO
guys, I'm scared. I don't want to be
the bearer of bad news...

❙ ✧ ›› NAKAMURA KAORI ⨾ F/FANTAGIO
hey, it's okay! we all worked hard no
matter what, right?

JIWON AND MINJI NOD THEIR HEADS
IN RESPONSE TO KAORI. JOOWON
RELUCTANTLY OPENS THE ENVELOPE
AND PULLS OUT THE FOUR CARDS.

❙ ✧ ›› KWON JOOWON ⨾ F/FANTAGIO
the silver cards are for kaori and I...

❙ ✧ ›› KWON JOOWON ⨾ F/FANTAGIO
...yellow card is for jiwon and red card is
for you, minji.

❙ ✧ ›› JANG MINJI ⨾ F/FANTAGIO
i expected that. my hopes weren't placed
too high because I know my dance abilities
are not up to par.

❙ ✧ ›› BAE JIWON ⨾ F/FANTAGIO
same here. I told myself I would get
yellow, that way I wouldn't be let
down if I got it.

❙ ✧ ›› JANG MINJI ⨾ F/FANTAGIO
this just means I have to work
harder... a lot, harder.

❙ ✧ ›› KWON JOOWON ⨾ F/FANTAGIO
[ tears fall ] stop acting so calm by it!
it makes me feel horrible for getting
silver.

MINJI AND JIWON LAUGH AS THEY
STAND UP AND HUG JOOWON. THEY
ALSO HUG KAORI, WHO WAS FROZEN
WITH SHOCK.

❙ ✧ ›› NAKAMURA KAORI ⨾ F/FANTAGIO
I... really didn't think I would get silver.
you've heard the criticism that those
before me have received on shows
like this...

❙ ✧ ›› JANG MINJI ⨾ F/FANTAGIO
[ shakes head ] but your critiques
were amazing! so clearly your skills
were good enough to get you here.

❙ ✧ ›› NAKAMURA KAORI ⨾ F/FANTAGIO
[ sighs ] you're right... but still!

❙ ✧ ›› BAE JIWON ⨾ F/FANTAGIO
no buts! let's all continue to work

BE:LIFT'S ROOM !

❙ ✧ ›› KWON DAEWON ⨾ M/BE:LIFT
our comments... were not the best.

❙ ✧ ›› NAITŌ IKUE ⨾ F/BE:LIFT
i want us to have hope but honestly
I have none. and that sucks.

❙ ✧ ›› WATANABE AKAITO ⨾ M/BE:LIFT
if only we had worked more like I
had asked us to.

❙ ✧ ›› KWON DAEWON ⨾ M/BE:LIFT
whoa there... you made mistakes too
buddy, don't act like you did amazing.

❙ ✧ ›› TAKAKI HIYOKO ⨾ F/BE:LIFT
[ annoyed ] can we just have raein
open the envelope already? we don't
have time for this.

TAKAKI MOTIONS TO RAEIN WHO
WAS SILENTLY PICKING AT THE
UNOPENED ENVELOPE, WAITING
FOR HER LABELMATES TO STOP
FIRING SHOTS AT ONE ANOTHER.

❙ ✧ ›› LEE RAEIN ⨾ F/BE:LIFT
you guys done?

❙ ✧ ›› LEE RAEIN ⨾ F/BE:LIFT
okay great. [ opens envelope ]

❙ ✧ ›› TAKAKI HIYOKO ⨾ F/BE:LIFT
...why are there four red cards?

❙ ✧ ›› LEE RAEIN ⨾ F/BE:LIFT
they belong to you, daewon, ikue,
and akaito... I got the yellow card.

❙ ✧ ›› TAKAKI HIYOKO ⨾ F/BE:LIFT
what? I did well though! this show is
unbelievable.

IKUE SMACKS HIYOKO'S
SHOULDER, SHAKING HER HEAD.

❙ ✧ ›› NAITŌ IKUE ⨾ F/BE:LIFT
anyway. although I'm upset, congratulations
raein! I know it's not silver but it's
better than red, right? [ smiles sadly ]

❙ ✧ ›› LEE RAEIN ⨾ F/BE:LIFT
thanks. to be honest, I don't feel much
in regards to this. it's just a beginning
class... I can always do better for the
future.

❙ ✧ ›› LEE RAEIN ⨾ F/BE:LIFT
[ notices daewon ] hey, you okay?
you-

DAEWON LIFTS HIS HEAD, TEARS
STREAMING DOWN HIS FACE.

❙ ✧ ›› NAITŌ IKUE ⨾ F/BE:LIFT
oh my god, daewon...

❙ ✧ ›› WATANABE AKAITO ⨾ M/BE:LIFT
...okay I was mad at the fact I got a low
rank but now I feel horrible...

THE TRAINEES HUDDLE AROUND

be okay.

STARSHIP'S ROOM !

YOUNGSEOK LETS JAEMI WALK IN
FIRST BEFORE WALKING IN AND
CLOSING THE DOOR.

❙ ✧ ›› NAM YOUNGSEOK ⨾ M/STARSHIP
what do you think you got?

❙ ✧ ›› WON JAEMI ⨾ F/STARSHIP
I hope silver... but I feel like the criticism
I got doesn't reflect that.

❙ ✧ ›› NAM YOUNGSEOK ⨾ M/STARSHIP
hm, well, let's finish this with the mindset
that no matter what we get we will work
hard, okay?

❙ ✧ ›› WON JAEMI ⨾ F/STARSHIP
[ nods her head ] yes! let's do this.

NAM YOUNGSEOK CHUCKLES BEFORE
OPENING THE ENVELOPE AND TAKING
OUT THE TWO CARDS.

❙ ✧ ›› WON JAEMI ⨾ F/STARSHIP
the yellow one is mine, right?

❙ ✧ ›› WON JAEMI ⨾ F/STARSHIP
...at least it's better than red.

❙ ✧ ›› NAM YOUNGSEOK ⨾ M/STARSHIP
[ dumbfounded ] I don't understand... how did
I get silver?

JAEMI GIVES A WEIRD LOOK TO
YOUNGSEOK BEFORE SHAKING
HIS SHOULDERS.

❙ ✧ ›› WON JAEMI ⨾ F/STARSHIP
did you... not hear what the judges
said about your performance?

❙ ✧ ›› WON JAEMI ⨾ F/STARSHIP
you literally did so well! it was almost
obvious that you'd get silver.

❙ ✧ ›› NAM YOUNGSEOK ⨾ M/STARSHIP
...

❙ ✧ ›› WON JAEMI ⨾ F/STARSHIP
oh, wake up! let's celebrate! [ laughs ]

BRAND NEW MUSIC'S ROOM !

❙ ✧ ›› KANG RYUNA ⨾ F/BNM
[ tosses envelope on the floor ]
I just grabbed the envelope. I
have no intentions on giving
bad news.

❙ ✧ ›› SAKURAI HINATA ⨾ F/BNM
...well I don't think anyone else
wants to open it.

❙ ✧ ›› KANG EUNWOO ⨾ M/BNM
she's right. it's hard to be someone
who has to bring bad news to a
group of people.

❙ ✧ ›› KANG RYUNA ⨾ F/BNM
fine. I'll voluntell someone.
if yuanjun can attempt to ship
himself to america, he can
open an envelope.

YUANJUN STARES AT RYUNA, A
BETRAYED LOOK ON HIS FACE.

❙ ✧ ›› XU YUANJUN ⨾ M/BNM
literally who do you take me for?

❙ ✧ ›› KANG RYUNA ⨾ F/BNM
a psychopath.

❙ ✧ ›› XU MINGYUE ⨾ F/BNM
a maniac.

❙ ✧ ›› CAIRO HWANG ⨾ M/BNM
[ sighs ] I'll just open the damn
thing since no one else will.

CAIRO GRABS THE ENVELOPE AND
OPENS IT, TAKING OUT TWO CARDS
OF EACH COLOUR.

❙ ✧ ›› CAIRO HWANG ⨾ M/BNM
okay... do we want to start with
the worse colours or best colours?

❙ ✧ ›› XU MINGYUE ⨾ F/BNM
worst. makes it easier if we suffer
first and then are able to congratulate
the others.

❙ ✧ ›› CAIRO HWANG ⨾ M/BNM
fair enough.

❙ ✧ ›› CAIRO HWANG ⨾ M/BNM
the red cards belong to... kang
eunwoo and xu mingyue.

❙ ✧ ›› KANG EUNWOO ⨾ M/BNM
[ laughs sadly ] it's okay. I kind of
expected to get this rank.

❙ ✧ ›› XU MINGYUE ⨾ F/BNM
[ holding back tears ] I said we but
I didn't actually expect to get red...

❙ ✧ ›› XU MINGYUE ⨾ F/BNM
...I'll just work harder.

❙ ✧ ›› CAIRO HWANG ⨾ M/BNM
[ frowns ] the yellow cards belong
to... sakurai hinata and xu yuanjun.

❙ ✧ ›› CAIRO HWANG ⨾ M/BNM
that leaves ryuna and I with the silver
cards.

❙ ✧ ›› KANG RYUNA ⨾ F/BNM
I'm happy and glad I got silver but...
I feel really bad for you guys.

❙ ✧ ›› KANG RYUNA ⨾ F/BNM
it was cruel of them to have us
announce it to one another.

❙ ✧ ›› XU YUANJUN ⨾ M/BNM
I may be insane but I'll manage with
yellow. it's not the worst thing that
has happened to me.

❙ ✧ ›› SAKURAI HINATA ⨾ F/BNM
yeah... it just attacks my pride. that's
all.

EVERYONE STOPS TALKING WHEN
THEY HEAR SNIFFLES COMING FROM
MINGYUE, WHOSE FACE IS BURIED
IN HER HANDS.

❙ ✧ ›› KANG RYUNA ⨾ F/BNM
oh honey...

❙ ✧ ›› KANG RYUNA ⨾ F/BNM
come here. is it the rank?

❙ ✧ ›› XU MINGYUE ⨾ F/BNM
[ nods weakly ] yeah.

❙ ✧ ›› KANG EUNWOO ⨾ M/BNM
hey... we'll get through this together,
right? we may be in separate classes
but I know we'll only go up from here.

❙ ✧ ›› CAIRO HWANG ⨾ M/BNM
he's right. don't let this rank determine
how the rest of your time on the show
will go.

❙ ✧ ›› SAKURAI HINATA ⨾ F/BNM
if you feel embarrassed, don't be.
everyone makes mistakes. we know
how good you can be, just take this
day as an off one.

❙ ✧ ›› XU MINGYUE ⨾ F/BNM
thanks guys... I'm grateful.
I really am.

❙ ✧ ›› XU YUANJUN ⨾ M/BNM
[ winks and does finger guns ] let's turn
that frown upside down.

❙ ✧ ›› KANG RYUNA ⨾ F/BNM
...never do that again.

YUANJUN SCOFFS, OFFENDED. MINGYUE
LAUGHS AT THIS AND LIFTS HER HEAD
UP, SMILING AT HER LABELMATES.

KQ'S ROOM !

THE THREE BOYS SIT EXCITED IN
A CIRCLE AS THEY IMPATIENTLY
WAIT FOR MARSHALL TO OPEN
THE ENVELOPE.

❙ ✧ ›› HWA MINYEOL ⨾ M/KQ
dude hurry up! I can't wait
any longer.

❙ ✧ ›› ZHAO LIAN ⨾ M/KQ
I mean I have a hunch that
we all got silver but I need
the confirmation.

❙ ✧ ›› MARSHALL JEON ⨾ M/KQ
imagine I open it and we get all
red.

❙ ✧ ›› HWA MINYEOL ⨾ M/KQ
I'm serious when I say I would cry.
a standing ovation and still given
red....

❙ ✧ ›› ZHAO LIAN ⨾ M/KQ
that would be my villain era.

❙ ✧ ›› HWA MINYEOL ⨾ M/KQ
100% agree. I'd be burning buildings
left and right in a fit of rage.

❙ ✧ ›› MARSHALL JEON ⨾ M/KQ
please don't become a wanted arsonist
over a survival show-

❙ ✧ ›› HWA MINYEOL ⨾ M/KQ
no can do, sorry marshalls.

❙ ✧ ›› MARSHALL JEON ⨾ M/KQ
[ to cameraman ] can I throw this
out the window?

❙ ✧ ›› HWA MINYEOL ⨾ M/KQ
NO!

❙ ✧ ›› HWA MINYEOL ⨾ M/KQ
OKAY IM SORRY PLEASE DON'T
THROW IT OUT I NEED TO FEED
MY EGO.

❙ ✧ ›› ZHAO LIAN ⨾ M/KQ
what ego? you're literally the most
humble dude here.

MARSHALL IGNORES THEIR BANTER
BACK AND FORTH AND OPENS THE
ENVELOPE, TAKING OUT THREE
SILVER CARDS.

❙ ✧ ›› HWA MINYEOL ⨾ M/KQ
[ sighs ] I can die peacefully now.

❙ ✧ ›› ZHAO LIAN ⨾ M/KQ
...that's not concerning at all.

❙ ✧ ›› ZHAO LIAN ⨾ M/KQ
anyway, it's not too crazy to say
that my clownfish blessed me with
this satisfaction, right?

❙ ✧ ›› MARSHALL JEON ⨾ M/KQ
normally I'd say no but... you own
a clownfish?

❙ ✧ ›› ZHAO LIAN ⨾ M/KQ
he's my lucky charm! [ huffs ]

❙ ✧ ›› HWA MINYEOL ⨾ M/KQ
tell your clownfish we're proud of
him for carrying our team.

❙ ✧ ›› ZHAO LIAN ⨾ M/KQ
[ laughs ] will do.

────────────────────────

JYP'S ROOM !

❙ ✧ ›› HWANG NARI ⨾ F/JYP
should I just open it and get it over
with?

❙ ✧ ›› MIN YEEUN ⨾ F/JYP
I guess. my expectations aren't the
highest considering our comments.

❙ ✧ ›› MOON AERA ⨾ F/JYP
I'm sure we did fine... I hope
we did fine...

❙ ✧ ›› MOON AERA ⨾ F/JYP
whatever we get, I'll just work even
harder!

❙ ✧ ›› HWANG NARI ⨾ F/JYP
I apologize in advance if I somehow get
a better class.

❙ ✧ ›› MOON AERA ⨾ F/JYP
why apologize?

HWANG NARI SIMPLY SHAKES HER
HEAD IN RESPONSE BEFORE OPENING
THE ENVELOPE. SHE PULLS OUT ONE
YELLOW CARD AND TWO RED CARDS.

❙ ✧ ›› HWANG NARI ⨾ F/JYP
I'm so sorry... the yellow card is
mine...

❙ ✧ ›› MIN YEEUN ⨾ F/JYP
[ takes card ] ...

❙ ✧ ›› HWANG NARI ⨾ F/JYP
you're not... mad, right?

❙ ✧ ›› MOON AERA ⨾ F/JYP
[ tilts head ] why would she be
mad? if anything it's good at
least one of us will be standing
for jyp.

❙ ✧ ›› MIN YEEUN ⨾ F/JYP
I'm not mad. just frustrated. I thought
I'd at least get yellow.

❙ ✧ ›› MIN YEEUN ⨾ F/JYP
I didn't think I'd be in red territory
but I guess life has its ways of
handing cards to people.

❙ ✧ ›› MOON AERA ⨾ F/JYP
yeeun-unnie. you did great. and with
even more practice we can be even
better! for now let's celebrate that
nari got yellow.

YEEUN HESITATES BEFORE NODDING
HER HEAD AND APOLOGIZING FOR
HER SMALL OUTBURST. THE GIRLS
SMILE BRIGHTLY AND CHEER ON NARI.

IST'S ROOM !

THE BOYS SIT IN SILENCE IN A
CIRCLE, THE ENVELOPE ON THE
GROUND IN THE CENTER.

❙ ✧ ›› KANG HAEJOO ⨾ M/IST
[ laughs nervously ] so... who wants
to open it?

❙ ✧ ›› LIM TAEHEE ⨾ M/IST
preferably not me.

❙ ✧ ›› KANG JAEWON ⨾ M/IST
same here. I don't do well spreading
bad news.

❙ ✧ ›› KANG HAEJOO ⨾ M/IST
I don't think anyone does, hyung-

❙ ✧ ›› LIM TAEHEE ⨾ M/IST
[ sighs ] we'll be here forever if this
continues so I'll just open it.

TAEHEE TAKES THE ENVELOPE
AND TAKES OUT THE THREE CARDS.

❙ ✧ ›› LIM TAEHEE ⨾ M/IST
well, I know for sure the silver card
is not mine, and the yellow card is
reaching if it were mine.

❙ ✧ ›› LIM TAEHEE ⨾ M/IST
[ opens red card and nods ]
yeah. that's what I assumed.
I mean, it doesn't feel amazing
but I knew I still need to work
on my skills.

❙ ✧ ›› KANG HAEJOO ⨾ M/IST
what about the other cards?

❙ ✧ ›› LIM TAEHEE ⨾ M/IST
yellow goes to jaewon,
silver goes to you, haejoo.

❙ ✧ ›› KANG JAEWON ⨾ M/IST
oh my! congrats haejoo! I'm happy
at least one of us got silver. that
makes me really happy, even if I
didn't get a great rank.

❙ ✧ ›› LIM TAEHEE ⨾ M/IST
I agree. I know red is what everyone
wants to avoid but it's inevitable.
someone is going to get it... I just
so happen to be in that category.

❙ ✧ ›› LIM TAEHEE ⨾ M/IST
but let's put it together for our
haejoo! providing ist with a
silver class!

THE BOYS STAND UP AND HUG ONE
ANOTHER, HAEJOO ALSO COMFORTING
TAEHEE AND JAEWON DESPITE THEIR
PLAYFULLY AGGRESSIVE 'IM FINES.'

WOOLLIM'S ROOM !

❙ ✧ ›› MARUYAMA KOTARO ⨾ M/WOOLLIM
let's open this thing.

❙ ✧ ›› MOON HYUNJOO ⨾ F/WOOLLIM
I'm actually worried. I didn't really get
good criticism after my performance.

❙ ✧ ›› MARUYAMA KOTARO ⨾ M/WOOLLIM
well, you tried your best, right?

❙ ✧ ›› MOON HYUNJOO ⨾ F/WOOLLIM
[ nods head ] yeah.

❙ ✧ ›› MARUYAMA KOTARO ⨾ M/WOOLLIM
then take whatever you get and work
with it. no matter what it is, you can
always work harder.

❙ ✧ ›› KIM SEOJUN ⨾ M/WOOLLIM
that's actually really good advice.
no sarcasm intended I swear.

❙ ✧ ›› MARUYAMA KOTARO ⨾ M/WOOLLIM
[ laughs ] I wasn't going to ask if it
was.

KOTARO OPENS THE ENVELOPE AND
TAKES OUT THE THREE CARDS. ONE
OF EACH COLOUR.

❙ ✧ ›› MARUYAMA KOTARO ⨾ M/WOOLLIM
...I got silver?

❙ ✧ ›› MARUYAMA KOTARO ⨾ M/WOOLLIM
seojun got yellow and hyunjoo
received red.

❙ ✧ ›› MARUYAMA KOTARO ⨾ M/WOOLLIM
there has to be a mistake or something.
I don't think I performed that well.

❙ ✧ ›› MOON HYUNJOO ⨾ F/WOOLLIM
who are you kidding?? they ate your
performance up my dude.

❙ ✧ ›› KIM SEOJUN ⨾ M/WOOLLIM
as much as I agree, never use those last
two words again, I beg.

❙ ✧ ›› MOON HYUNJOO ⨾ F/WOOLLIM
okay, my dude.

SEOJUN CLOSED HIS EYES AND
INHALED SHARPLY, MAKING BOTH
KOTARO AND HYUNJOO LAUGH.

❙ ✧ ›› KIM SEOJUN ⨾ M/WOOLLIM
so what do you think your soulmate got?

❙ ✧ ›› MARUYAMA KOTARO ⨾ M/WOOLLIM
who? my what now?

❙ ✧ ›› MOON HYUNJOO ⨾ F/WOOLLIM
the dude who was staring at you when we
sat down after our arrival.

❙ ✧ ›› MARUYAMA KOTARO ⨾ M/WOOLLIM
hyunwoo? he's not my soulmate. he's
someone who likes to poke at me.

❙ ✧ ›› KIM SEOJUN ⨾ M/WOOLLIM
and you eat it up every time, don't
lie.

❙ ✧ ›› MARUYAMA KOTARO ⨾ M/WOOLLIM
[ stands up ] nope, not dealing with this.
leave me out of that conversation.

HYUNJOO AND SEOJUN LAUGH AS
THEY WATCH KOTARO EXIT THE ROOM.

────────────────────────

BLOCKBERRY'S ROOM !

❙ ✧ ›› LIM EUNJOO ⨾ F/BLOCKBERRY
[ holding the envelope ] should we just
bite the bullet and open it?

❙ ✧ ›› SHIM YOONSEO ⨾ F/BLOCKBERRY
I think that's for the best. our critiques
weren't the most positive but I have hope!

❙ ✧ ›› GAE CHIJA ⨾ F/BLOCKBERRY
silently praying we're able to all pass...
I want us to all get a high rank.

❙ ✧ ›› LIM EUNJOO ⨾ F/BLOCKBERRY
same here.

EUNJOO CAREFULLY OPENS THE
ENVELOPE AND PULLS OUT THREE
CARDS. ONLY ONE IS RED, THE
REST YELLOW.

❙ ✧ ›› LIM EUNJOO ⨾ F/BLOCKBERRY
[ hesitates ] I'm sorry, yoonseo. the red
card is yours.

❙ ✧ ›› SHIM YOONSEO ⨾ F/BLOCKBERRY
[ takes a deep breath ] it's okay. I don't
think I performed the way I had hoped
to. I'll just take what they told me and
grow from it.

❙ ✧ ›› LIM EUNJOO ⨾ F/BLOCKBERRY
my injury did give us a setback but I think
I performed well enough to not have it be
super noticeable... I think that's the one
upside to getting yellow. it's not an ego
boost but it's also not telling me I did
horrible. I'll just work harder!

❙ ✧ ›› GAE CHIJA ⨾ F/BLOCKBERRY
[ picks at card ] im a bit disappointed that
I got yellow but, I agree. I performed to the
best of my ability and if this is what it
means, then I just have to work even harder.

❙ ✧ ›› SHIM YOONSEO ⨾ F/BLOCKBERRY
we got this, girls. we will make it.

────────────────────────

BEAT INTERACTIVE'S ROOM !

THE THREE BOYS ANXIOUSLY WAIT
FOR JUNSEO TO ENTER THE ROOM.
WHEN HE DOES THEY ALL BOLT UP
AND STAND TO FACE HIM.

❙ ✧ ›› CHOI JUNSEO ⨾ M/BEAT INT.
you act like I'm a god or something.

❙ ✧ ›› MAE DONGCHEOL ⨾ M/BEAT INT.
you practically are. you're holding the
envelope that decides our future from
here.

❙ ✧ ›› CHOI JUNSEO ⨾ M/BEAT INT.
before I open this, will anybody here cry
over the card they receive? I'm bad with
comforting and stuff like that. just want
to know before anything gets taken out
of context.

❙ ✧ ›› OH DAESHIM ⨾ M/BEAT INT.
I think we'll be fine.

❙ ✧ ›› HYUN JUWON ⨾ M/BEAT INT.
I'm expecting at least yellow. that way it shows
I may need more work but I wasn't a complete
nuisance on the stage.

❙ ✧ ›› MAE DONGCHEOL ⨾ M/BEAT INT.
[ laughs ] if anything I was the nuisance!

JUNSEO SHAKES HIS HEAD, A SMILE
FORMING ON HIS FACE AS HE TURNED
THE ENVELOPE AROUND AND OPENED
IT. ONE CARD WAS SILVER, TWO WERE
YELLOW, AND ONE WAS RED.
DONGCHEOL CONFIDENTLY GRABBED
THE RED ONE.

❙ ✧ ›› MAE DONGCHEOL ⨾ M/BEAT INT.
it's the worst one, I know, but the fact I'm
even here is amazing to me. I know I can
only grow from here so... let's just see
where this red card of mine can take me.

❙ ✧ ›› OH DAESHIM ⨾ M/BEAT INT.
you're pretty AND humble. man you
better debut. you'd do so well as an
idol in that aspect.

DONGCHEOL SMILES AT THE
COMPLIMENT BUT SHAKES
HIS HEAD.

❙ ✧ ›› OH DAESHIM ⨾ M/BEAT INT.
oh, take it!

❙ ✧ ›› OH DAESHIM ⨾ M/BEAT INT.
[ shakes head ] anyway, I guess this
just means I need to work harder.

❙ ✧ ›› HYUN JUWON ⨾ M/BEAT INT.
yeah. again, I was hoping for this rank
so it means I wasn't let down. I'll just
continue working hard so I can get up

THE BOYS CLAP FOR JUNSEO WHO
SNAPS OUT OF HIS THOUGHTS AT
THE SOUND.

❙ ✧ ›› CHOI JUNSEO ⨾ M/BEAT INT.
what? oh.

❙ ✧ ›› CHOI JUNSEO ⨾ M/BEAT INT.
I mean, it feels great but I also don't want
to consider it as what my skills are.

❙ ✧ ›› OH DAESHIM ⨾ M/BEAT INT.
that's fair.

❙ ✧ ›› MAE DONGCHEOL ⨾ M/BEAT INT.
I agree! take it but don't let it determine
how you do for the rest of the show. one
can always improve something.

UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS LIKE
ANY OTHER COMPETITION. OTHERS

THE RED LINING TRAINEES WERE
CALLED TO A ROOM. . .

❙ ✧ ›› YUJEONG ⨾ ISL REP.

❙ ✧ ›› RED LINING ⨾ TRAINEES

❙ ✧ ›› DAEHWI ⨾ ISL REP.

next thing you know you'll receive a new
opportunity. don't lose hope of your dreams,
okay?

THE DAY ENDS WITH THE RED LINING
TRAINEES EXITING THE VENUE
WITHOUT EVEN BEING ABLE TO UNPACK
THEIR BAGS

‎

‎

RED LINING !

YELLOW LINING !

SILVER LINING !

what a funny thing to add. it's like they think
we're not here to work hard.

WHAT DID THEY FIND FUNNY?

❙ ✧ ›› ??? ⨾ ?/?
last time I checked this is not where I was
picked up. did we get kidnapped?

THE FUTURE OF THE TRAINEES CONTINUES !

✎ (❁ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈) RUNE'S ROOM !

GLOBAL VOTING IS NOW OPEN!
PLEASE REFER TO THE GLOBAL
VOTING CHAPTER FOR MORE
INFORMATION.

eyyyy, I think this episode was a lot
faster than the last one! I have yet
another song for you guys to thank
for this chapter.... it's enhypen's
I need the light.

anyway, I apologize again for the lack
of interesting gifs. I genuinely had no
room for any because of the fact I
wrote in all the companies for this
episode so I could finish episode
one. I also apologize if you received
a rank that you didn't want! unfortunately,
not everyone can get what they want 😭

I also did my best to write in your trainees'
reactions but it was hard when they're alone
with their teammates rather than in front
of all the trainees. also had to keep in mind
everyone else's reactions and what not.
anyway, I hope you enjoyed!

━━━━━━━━━

SURPRISE ACTIVE CHECK !
lasts only three days.

QUESTION : stats time! for each section below, rate your trainee out of /5, with 1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest. decimal points are allowed, explanation not needed.

REMINDER! a small note
none of these will affect
your performances in
general for the show. just
gives me an idea of how
to write your trainees'
reactions to certain songs
in the future.

COMFORTABLENESS
trainees of the same gender - # / 5
trainees of opposite gender - # / 5
CONFIDENCE
tendency to cry - # / 5
off stage confidence - # / 5
( on stage confidence will depend on how well you do )

BONUS : for silver lining only
send in a gif of your trainee(s)
for the theme song! send them
via dm :) it can be a link or it
can be via docs. whatever is
easiest.
