❛ EPISODE THREE. ❜
the next level begins.

( WORDS HERE SIGNIFY "???" AND THEIR COMMENTARY AS AN EDITOR )

MY SUGAR-RUSH! CONTINUES !

‎

A DAY LATER . . .

❘ ✸ ›› LEE GIKWANG ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ as you may recall, the next level to determine who will stay is a CONCEPT MISSION. yesterday you boys heard the four songs that the SUGAR MAKERS will vote you into. of course, the TOP 7 were able to vouch for the song they most wanted.

❘ ✸ ›› LEE GIKWANG ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ this time, as there will be an album that goes along with it, the highest voted trainee in the winning team during the live voting will be used for the cover of the mission.

❘ ✸ ›› LEE GIKWANG ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ that on top of the mission benefits is... well, I wouldn't know, but it might surely allow someone to skyrocket in ranks or even keep their spot.

━ 𖧷 INTERVIEW CAM 𖧷 ━

❘ ✸ ›› RAIDEN KIM ‣ RANK 20
❛ that would be insane... winning that benefit on top of anything else?

❘ ✸ ›› GEUM SUHEON ‣ RANK 7 ❪TOP 7❫
❛ aside from the centers at the start... you'd essentially be the face of the show if you won that... I better pull out all the stops then. [ laughs ]

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

❘ ✸ ›› LEE GIKWANG ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ I mentioned benefits, right?

THE TRAINEES NOD THEIR HEADS.

❘ ✸ ›› LEE GIKWANG ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ like last mission, benefits will be given out to those who earn it. however, it will work a bit differently this time around. as there are four songs each with five members, the trainee who places 1ST overall will receive 500,000 SUGAR POINTS. those in 2ND and 3RD overall will earn 100,000 SUGAR POINTS. and those who place 4TH and 5TH overall will receive 50,000 SUGAR POINTS.

❘ ✸ ›› LEE GIKWANG ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ and don't forget, the center benefit still remains a viable option to get even more points!

━ 𖧷 INTERVIEW CAM 𖧷 ━

❘ ✸ ›› KANG JAEHYUN ‣ NO RANK
❛ I'm going to have to work even harder... I don't have any former votes to base my popularity on.

( HYPOTHETICALLY YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN DEBUT ANYWAYS... YOU'RE OWNED BY THE SHOW CREATOR THATS NEPOTISM )

❘ ✸ ›› KANG JAEHYUN ‣ NO RANK
❛ ...I'm definitely being flamed by the new editor. [ stares into the camera ] I used to be in your shoes... I'd watch what you say...

( OOOOOOOO SO SCARYYYYYY!!! FUCK YOU. )

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

❘ ✸ ›› LEE GIKWANG ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ and now, I'll begin to who is paired for each team voted by the lovely SUGAR MAKERS after the last episode aired. you boys may guess the song you've been given based on the chosen teammates, but as nothing is confirmed, please state it as an... hopeful opinion.

❘ ✸ ›› LEE GIKWANG ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ in my hands are envelopes labeled TEAM 1, TEAM 2, TEAM 3, and TEAM 4. to begin, I will list out those in TEAM 1.

❘ ✸ ›› LEE GIKWANG ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ JEONG KORAIN, LIN ZHAOHUI, JEON JIHOON, RAIDEN KIM, and CHOI HASEUL are all members of TEAM 1.

▭▭

❘ ✸ ›› LEE GIKWANG ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ in TEAM 2 we have... KIM YOONGI, SHIN BYUNGHO, HAN SEYOUNG, CHOI KWANGHO, and GEUM SUHEON.

❘ ✸ ›› LEE GIKWANG ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ with ten trainees left, the boys in TEAM 3 are as followed... EOM TAEHYUN, SOHN KITAE, JERRIE TRAN, SEO YOUNGHOON, and KANG JAEHYUN.

▭▭

❘ ✸ ›› LEE GIKWANG ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ the remaining five boys, TAK HAEMIN, HONG BEOMSEOK, RUAN YIZE, CHO KIHA, and SHIN KITAE are all members of TEAM 4.

━━━━━━━━━

❘ ✸ ›› LEE GIKWANG ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ you boys may now head to your designated training area to reveal what concept you have been voted into. I wish nothing but the best for you all and I hope that no matter what, you bring your best performances forward.

❘ ✸ ›› MY SUGAR-RUSH! ‣ TRAINEES
❛ [ bowing ] goodbye!

THE TRAINEES PLACED IN EACH TEAM MAKE THEIR WAY OVER TO THEIR ROOMS. . .

. . . INSIDE IS A STAND WITH A BOARD THAT HAS PLACES FOR CENTER AND THE OTHER ROLES, BESIDE IT IS THE STICKER THAT DETERMINES THEIR SONG!

❘ ✸ ›› TAK HAEMIN ‣ RANK 9
❛ all the songs were really good... so I don't think I'll be too upset with what we get? I mean, we'll have to perform it regardless so...

❘ ✸ ›› SHIN KITAE ‣ RANK 10
❛ I think we lucked out though, we have a decent ratio of rappers for vocalists and if we got a song that's more rap heavy.. that'd be best for us I think.

❘ ✸ ›› RUAN YIZE ‣ RANK  16
❛ all of us have pretty strong features too, so maybe it's [ REDCATED ] ?

❘ ✸ ›› TAK HAEMIN ‣ RANK 9
❛ with all due respect joy, you look the gayest out of all of us and that says a lot considering him. [ points to kitae ]

❘ ✸ ›› SHIN KITAE ‣ RANK 10
❛ HELLO? WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN.

❘ ✸ ›› HONG BEOMSEOK ‣ RANK 1 ❪TOP 7❫
❛ fear not... he's just calling you gay while he's referring to yize as homotron 9000.

❘ ✸ ›› RUAN YIZE ‣ RANK 16
❛ I do NOT like men that way!!

❘ ✸ ›› RUAN YIZE ‣ RANK 16
❛ [ scratches head ] at least... I don't think I do?

❘ ✸ ›› CHO KIHA ‣ RANK 4 ❪TOP 7❫
❛ you live with like, hot people. who are coincidentally all men. at some point you'd have to question whatever this is.

❘ ✸ ›› RUAN YIZE ‣ RANK 16
❛ oh whatever!! I came here for MY SUGAR-RUSH! not MY GAY-AWAKENING! peel off the damn sticker.

ALL THE BOYS LAUGH AT YIZE'S OUTBURST WITH HAEMIN PEELING OFF THE STICKER.

TEAM 4 WILL BE PERFORMING "EN GARDE" !

❘ ✸ ›› RAIDEN KIM ‣ RANK 20
