❘ ✸ ›› CHAE SUNGJIN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ you know, yoongi had an awfully familiar tone. he could've utilized it better but yeah I feel like I've heard him before.

❘ ✸ ›› CHOI KWANGHO ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ [ whispers ] he participated in i-land.

❘ ✸ ›› JEONG SEHYUN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ HE DID?!?

❘ ✸ ›› CHOI KWANGHO ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ ?? why is that news to you, he was one of the more well known trainees. especially at hybe, being known as an it-boy after yeonjun debuted.

❘ ✸ ›› JEONG SEHYUN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛  that is... unfortunately news to me. but I stand with my opinion earlier. if he utilized it a bit more I think he could've made it. [ pauses ] into the sweet building, I mean.

VOTES HAVE BEEN CASTED. SHIN BYUNGHO IS PLACED IN THE SWEET BUILDING. RAIDEN KIM IS PLACED IN THE SOUR BUILDING.

❘ ✸ ›› KYO MIREU ‣ SOUR BUILDING
❛ rush hour seems to be a popular choice these days. too bad that this performance was rather... lackluster? one definitely outperformed the other.

❘ ✸ ›› CHOI HASEUL ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ I agree. the self-made raps seem to make them stand out more but in a good way, it seems.

( THEY ARE REFERRING TO KIM BEOMJU FROM THE EARLIER RUSH HOUR PERFORMANCE... BUT DON'T DISCREDIT MY BOY TAEHYUN LIKE THAT! )

❘ ✸ ›› CHO SAEBYEOL ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ I disagree. taehyun did great in equally standing out with his rendition.

( UR MY NEW FAVOURITE PERSON THANK U 🤪 )

❘ ✸ ›› EOM TAEHYUN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ [ perks head up ] I heard my name?

❘ ✸ ›› SEO YOUNGHOON ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ we were just complimenting your singing abilities. [ smiles ]

❘ ✸ ›› EOM TAEHYUN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ oh! okay :] thank you nasa.

❘ ✸ ›› SEO YOUNGHOON ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ I- [ sighs ]

‎

‎

‎

‎

❘ ✸ ›› LEE GIKWANG ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ thank you for your performance, TEAM FIVE! and now... we finally move into the final performance which is by TEAM ONE. I bet they're anxious. best to leave them to their own devices while they prepare to showcase their skills. good luck, boys!

VOTING RESULTS . . .

VOTES HAVE BEEN CASTED. SOHN KITAE AND CHO KIHA ARE PLACED IN THE SWEET BUILDING. GEUM SUHEON IS PLACED IN THE SOUR BUILDING.

❘ ✸ ›› JAYDEN HAN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ (sohn) kitae did really well. I like his tone.

❘ ✸ ›› NISHIMURA ATSUSHI ‣ SOUR BUILDING
❛ hm... that means there's only 10 people in the sour building. the sweet building has over 15...

❘ ✸ ›› LIN ZHAOHUI ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ did we make a mistake...?

( NO YOU DIDN'T! IT'S ALL PART OF THE SHOW :) )

❘ ✸ ›› RUAN YIZE ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ I don't think so. I think they have a method to fix this. at least, I'd hope they do.

❘ ✸ ›› SHIN KITAE ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ well, either way I'd hate to be in that position. imagine being voted into a better building only to get voted out... especially if some of the votes were by people who initially voted you in.

❘ ✸ ›› CHOI HASEUL ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ [ reality hits ] oh [ redacted ].... I didn't even think about that.

❘ ✸ ›› CHOI KWANGHO ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ I guess we'll find out.

‎

‎

‎

‎

❘ ✸ ›› LEE GIKWANG ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ well done, boys! even if you didn't make the building you wished to get in, you all did well. you can only go up from here.

❘ ✸ ›› LEE GIKWANG ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ now, I bet you're wondering what's next?

❘ ✸ ›› MY SUGAR-RUSH! ‣ TRAINEES
❛ YES!

❘ ✸ ›› LEE GIKWANG ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ first, congratulations everyone who was placed in the SWEET BUILDING. however, not all of you can stay as we have exceeded the viable amount of trainees, which is 15.

❘ ✸ ›› LEE GIKWANG ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ you'll first be able to visit your respective building to get yourselves situated. to those in the SWEET BUILDING, do not unpack, however, as your stay is not guaranteed.

❘ ✸ ›› LEE GIKWANG ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ in order to continue, we must conduct an internal voting. each of you will be sent to a room to place your votes for the trainees you wish to be removed from the SWEET BUILDING. those with the highest votes will be moved to the SOUR BUILDING. votes will be kept anonymous unless otherwise stated.

❘ ✸ ›› ALEXANDER KIM ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ that's nuts... we get to go there and get a little bit comfortable but we won't know if we'll even be staying there.

❘ ✸ ›› SOHN KITAE ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ harsh reality here... the survival aspect is finally starting to kick in.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

‎

‎

‎

‎

❘ ✸ ›› LEE GIKWANG ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ I'd also like to introduce you all to a special guest... he will watch over both buildings as they work on the theme song before the eventual evaluation to determine CENTER and...

❘ ✸ ›› LEE GIKWANG ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ each building's MAIN VOCAL, MAIN DANCE, and MAIN RAP. this is because the theme song has key points for all three. and, it is entirely possible to be given more than one role, it will be a matter of can you keep it?

A FIGURE APPEARS FROM BEHIND THE SCREEN. . .

WHO IS THE SPECIAL GUEST?

‎

‎

‎

‎

‎

‎

‎

‎

PRISM'S LEADER AND MAIN VOCALIST, GUNO !

❘ ✸ ›› GUNO ‣ PRISM
❛ hello, I'm PRISM's GUNO. I look forward to seeing how you boys perform the theme song. I'll be watching with a keen eye to see who deserves each role, or, who'll be able to earn more than one.

━ 𖧷 INTERVIEW CAM 𖧷 ━

❘ ✸ ›› SEO YOUNGHOON ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ I just smiled and nodded. I genuinely had no clue who he was.

❘ ✸ ›› JEONG SEHYUN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ am I that out of touch...?

( NO, YOU'RE NOT. )

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

❘ ✸ ›› HAN SEYOUNG ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ [ whispers ] he's very pretty in person.

❘ ✸ ›› JEONG KORAIN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ [ whispers back ] I agree.

‎

‎

‎

‎

❘ ✸ ›› LEE GIKWANG ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ you boys may now enter the respective door that will lead you to your respective buildings. we'll reunite in a day to both conduct the votings for the SWEET BUILDING as well as start working on the theme song.

the thirty boys each stood up
and made their way to each
door, the sound of faint small-talk
being heard. once everyone
left the center room, the lights
dimmed.

A FEW DAYS PRIOR. . .

seven figures were shown, only
their silhouettes visible.

❘ ✸ ›› GONGCHAN ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ welcome boys! you guys ranked 1st to 7th in the pre-voting conducted by fans. as a result, you earn an extra benefit. you guys will sing the demonstration version of the MY SUGAR-RUSH! theme track.

❘ ✸ ›› GONGCHAN ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ as SHIN KITAE placed first, he will receive the majority of the 'center-esque' lines. also, don't fret if your parts seem not suitable to your skill-sets. we'll make it work.

❘ ✸ ›› GONGCHAN ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ without further ado... this is the official theme track for MY SUGAR-RUSH!

‎

‎

‎

‎

‎

‎

‎

‎

E/N : A STAGE LIKE THUMBNAIL WAS SET PURELY FOR EDITING PURPOSES. THEY DID NOT LEARN THE CHOREO OR PERFORM THE SONG PRIOR TO FILMING.

NEXT ON MY SUGAR-RUSH!

SOME TRAINEES ARE STRUGGLING. . .

❘ ✸ ›› GUNO ‣ PRISM
❛ you're not performing this right... at this rate I don't think you guys will learn this at all.

❘ ✸ ›› GUNO ‣ PRISM
❛ [ puts his hand up ] stop singing. are you sure you're a vocalist? I know you're all individual trainees but how can you sound so... tone deaf?

. . . WHILE OTHERS SEEM TO EXCEL.

❘ ✸ ›› GUNO ‣ PRISM
❛ no wonder you were placed here. you were born to perform.

❘ ✸ ›› GUNO ‣ PRISM
❛ have you received prior training before? how did you end up here with talent like that?

AND FINALLY. . . THE THEME SONG EVALUATION BEGINS.

WHO WILL BE THE FINAL CENTER?

▭ RUNE'S ROOM !
updates should start being a bit more regulated now that I start my night shifts! (please don't take my word for it) albeit I'll technically be "sleeping all day" but I promise to make it work lol

anyways, did you like the guest reveal? aldrin (moonstroIogy) begged me to put him in the show (no he didnt) so this was the best I could do since he didn't want to actually apply LMAO so if you don't know who "PRISM GUNO" is just pretend MSR got seungwoo as a special guest. next, there's about two more parts left for episode one! episode two will be the start of the first official mission as well as the first voting period. please be active both on commenting as well as on discord.

lastly, the form for SWEET BUILDING trainees will be sent to your respective groupchats. they will be made shortly after this episode has been released. please make sure to fill it out as it will count as an active check. there will be a separate "active check" for those in the SOUR BUILDING groupchat.

thank you all for your continued patience... I genuinely don't deserve it.
