MY SUGAR-RUSH! CONTINUES !

‎

THE DAY TO PERFORM HAS ARRIVED. . .

❘ ✸ ›› GONGCHAN ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ hello, SUGAR MAKERS! I am B1A4's GONGCHAN, and one half of the GAME MASTERS that host the show. as I am in charge of this mission, I am the only host for tonight.

❘ ✸ ›› GONGCHAN ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ you all have gathered here to watch your favourite PLAYERS perform for the first time in front of a live audience for the very first mission : SHOW YOUR SKILL!

the fans in the audience cheer for gongchan as
well as the trainees who await in the back; the
camera showing glimpses of each team and
their outfits.

❘ ✸ ›› GONGCHAN ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ after each performance, there will be an individual vote that takes place between each team, which will determine the overall score between all teams. from there the winner will be determined and the winning team will receive a bonus of 500,000 SUGAR POINTS.

❘ ✸ ›› GONGCHAN ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ however, that's not all. each team's respective center will automatically receive 500,000 SUGAR POINTS and trainees who are given MAIN ROLES will also receive 200,000 SUGAR POINTS. so, depending on which team wins, a member of that team will receive a total of 1,200,000 SUGAR POINTS total.

❘ ✸ ›› GONGCHAN ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ these points will greatly assist your favourite PLAYERS, so vote wisely. this mission will eliminate 10 trainees total, so only ranks 1st to 20th will continue onto the next level.

❘ ✸ ›› GONGCHAN ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ with all that being said, let's move into the performances! who will perform first?

‎

‎

‎

‎

❘ ✸ ›› GONGCHAN ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ our first performers will be the DANCE-VOCAL TEAM! will the team please come out and make their introduction?

as the seven boys walk out onto the stage
the audience erupts into cheers and screams.

❘ ✸ ›› 무궁화 (MUGUNGHWA) ‣ DANCE-VOCAL TEAM
❛ don't forget us, we're in bloom! hello, we are 무궁화 (MUGUNGHWA)!

❘ ✸ ›› GONGCHAN ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ oooh, a more traditional name for you guys! how did you come up with the idea?

❘ ✸ ›› EOM TAEHYUN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ given the song in of itself is more traditional leaning, we thought it would be a cool idea to use a traditional name to honour the original piece.

❘ ✸ ›› CHO KIHA ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ since the meaning is also "common hibiscus," and that the national flower is the same, we found it worked best as well. the flower itself also represents deep affection which matches the theme of the song as well.

❘ ✸ ›› GONGCHAN ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ gosh, you guys are so young yet you have amazing ideas and understand our culture well. I feel like a proud father. [ laughs ]

❘ ✸ ›› GONGCHAN ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ well, let's move onto your performance. I wish you boys well, good luck!

HOW DID THEIR MID-TERM EVALUATION GO ?

━━ ☆ TWO DAYS AGO.

the last flower team gather in their
practice room, each working on their
own piece.

━ 𖧷 INTERVIEW CAM 𖧷 ━

❘ ✸ ›› EOM TAEHYUN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ not going to lie, this mission was a workout. mentally.

❘ ✸ ›› EOM TAEHYUN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ for a team that got selected by a center, we didn't really work well together for the first couple days. [ scratches head ] it was a lot to work around.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

❘ ✸ ›› CHO KIHA ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ how does everyone feel about the performance? does anybody have any questions?

❘ ✸ ›› LIN ZHAOHUI ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ [ raises hand ] I have a question.

❘ ✸ ›› EOM TAEHYUN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ yes, my child?

❘ ✸ ›› LIN ZHAOHUI ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ how do I do... [ attempts arm movement ] ...that?

❘ ✸ ›› JEON JIHOON ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ ahhh you're so cute! here, let me help you.

as jihoon helps zhaohui with the
move, the practice room door
eventually opens.

SEUNGYEON AND KAI WALK IN !

❘ ✸ ›› SEUNGYEON ‣ VOCAL GUIDE
❛ hello, boys!

❘ ✸ ›› KAI ‣ DANCE GUIDE
❛ I hope you're ready to show us what you've been working on.

seungyeon and kai both walk toward
the mirror and face the boys, their clipboards
in hand.

❘ ✸ ›› SEUNGYEON ‣ VOCAL GUIDE
❛ hmm, so I see that TAEHYUN has kept his main vocalist position. was there any reason why you decided to not change?

❘ ✸ ›› EOM TAEHYUN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ well... I tried to pawn it off... but they all ended up persuading me to keep the position.

❘ ✸ ›› SEUNGYEON ‣ VOCAL GUIDE
❛ [ laughs ] I see. well, you're a natural singer so I think you'll do just fine.

❘ ✸ ›› KAI ‣ DANCE GUIDE
❛ and I see KITAE has also kept his position. I'm sure GIKWANG will be happy that his choice remained the same as what he voted him for.

❘ ✸ ›› KAI ‣ DANCE GUIDE
❛ now, let's see what you guys have to offer.

THE BOYS BEGIN TO PERFORM BEFORE IT CUTS TO THE END OF THE PERFORMANCE.

❘ ✸ ›› SEUNGYEON ‣ VOCAL GUIDE
❛ . . . [ silent ]

❘ ✸ ›› SEUNGYEON ‣ VOCAL GUIDE
❛ overall you guys did well... but it almost feels like you guys have no chemistry with one another. it's like you are performing together just because you have to, not because you've bonded and are enjoying yourselves.

❘ ✸ ›› KAI ‣ DANCE GUIDE
❛ I really only felt that TAEHYUN, JIHOON, and KIHA had genuine interest in the song and with performing.

❘ ✸ ›› LIN ZHAOHUI ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ well... about that...

❘ ✸ ›› CHO KIHA ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ it's true. for the first day or two, we didn't work well together. we were bickering over the smallest things and only a few of us actually wanted to try.

❘ ✸ ›› SEUNGYEON ‣ VOCAL GUIDE
❛ but you guys were one of the teams that was chosen by someone..?

❘ ✸ ›› EOM TAEHYUN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ that's what I was thinking. we were a team chosen by someone else on the team, but we ended up not working well together at first. it seems that it's bled into our performance abilities as well.

❘ ✸ ›› KAI ‣ DANCE GUIDE
❛ as much as I appreciate being aware of the issue, that doesn't fix it. I hope you guys can take this midterm evaluation and it's results and build on it for the final performance.

❘ ✸ ›› 무궁화 (MUGUNGHWA) ‣ DANCE-VOCAL TEAM
❛ we will!

‎

‎

‎

‎

AFTER THE PLAYER GUIDES LEFT . . .

the seven boys sit in a circle, silence
enveloping the entire room before
someone eventually speaks.

❘ ✸ ›› SOHN KITAE ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ um... I just want to apologize. I'm aware I wasn't 100% and didn't put all my energy into it.

❘ ✸ ›› HAN SEYOUNG ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ same here. I think the stress of it all was starting to get to me... turning me into a recluse and only wanting to do what was expected of me rather than try to enjoy the stage.

❘ ✸ ›› KIM YOONGI ‣ SOUR BUILDING
❛ I third it. KIHA and TAEHYUN have been doing god's work in making sure everyone knows how to sing the lines and perform the dance... thank you. you guys are doing amazing and I apologize for not being able to help with that at all.

TAEHYUN AND KIHA REMAIN SILENT. . .

EVENTUALLY, TAEHYUN SPEAKS

❘ ✸ ›› EOM TAEHYUN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ it was... disheartening, to put it kindly. seeing only a few people actually want to perform was dragging us down. I'm glad you guys have realized how essentially petty you were being, but I don't think I'll be able to properly forgive you. this is a survival show, if you all don't show your best abilities it drags the rest of us down with you.

❘ ✸ ›› CHO KIHA ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ let's promise from today onwards that we will do everything we can to show off our skills. we can do this.

all seven boys put their hands in the
center of the circle before yelling a
cheer and raising their hands.

HOW WILL THEIR PERFORMANCE GO ?

❘ ✸ ›› SEUNGYEON ‣ VOCAL GUIDE
❛ [ laughs ] yes. he also led his team well. it's because of him and KIHA that they were even able to get there.

❘ ✸ ›› SOYEON ‣ RAP GUIDE
❛ I heard their interim check was both a blessing and a curse. what was that about?

❘ ✸ ›› KAI ‣ DANCE GUIDE

HOW DID THEIR MID-TERM EVALUATION GO ?

‎

‎

‎

━━ ☆ THREE DAYS AGO.

the four boys sit awkwardly in a circle,
each with a notepad and pen in hand.

❘ ✸ ›› SEO YOUNGHOON ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ [ looks around at his teammates ] . . .

❘ ✸ ›› SEO YOUNGHOON ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ . . . you guys have been staring at your notepads for the last two hours neither writing or erasing. I've been done for a day.

❘ ✸ ›› CHOI HASEUL ‣ SOUR BUILDING
❛ I'm sorry, I really am! I'm just having a hard time thinking of a theme to keep throughout the song.

❘ ✸ ›› SHIN BYUNGHO ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ this is just my first time writing multiple verses on my own, not just one with some assistance.

YOUNGHOON TURNS HIS HEAD TO SEHYUN.

❘ ✸ ›› JEONG SEHYUN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ well, not everyone is as fast as you when it comes to writing their own lyrics. hell, are yours even good because you finished first?

❘ ✸ ›› SHIN BYUNGHO ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ SEHYUN, that's not-

❘ ✸ ›› SEO YOUNGHOON ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ I said nothing about your lyricism, I just pointed how you all simply aren't doing ANYTHING! we've been sitting here for two hours and none of you guys have moved a muscle!

❘ ✸ ›› SEO YOUNGHOON ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ if you guys were struggling so much, why not ask for help knowing I've been finished? this may be a competition but I'm not a selfish prick who wouldn't help my own teammates.

❘ ✸ ›› JEONG SEHYUN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ . . . [ sighs and crosses his arms in defeat ]

silence surrounds the room as the tension
becomes thicker than it was before. it's so
quiet you could hear a pin drop.

❘ ✸ ›› CHOI HASEUL ‣ SOUR BUILDING
❛ [ clears throat ] I won't lie... I'm just scared of you a little bit. that's why I avoided asking for help.

❘ ✸ ›› SHIN BYUNGHO ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ I just didn't want to bother you... you looked focused on making sure your own work was the best it could be so I thought I'd be a burden if I asked for help.

❘ ✸ ›› SEO YOUNGHOON ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ well HASEUL, I've heard that one before. that aside, I'd be totally down to help you guys.

━ 𖧷 INTERVIEW CAM 𖧷 ━

❘ ✸ ›› SEO YOUNGHOON ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ I've never felt so disrespected in my life, genuinely. some of the best lyricists write their stuff in minutes so to assume my work would be of poor quality because I'm fast... that hurt more than when I lost the chance to get the main rapper role.

❘ ✸ ›› SEO YOUNGHOON ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ [ pauses ] especially because it came out of left field. I didn't even mention quality or skill and I got that as a reply.

A DAY PASSES AND IT'S NOW TIME FOR THE INTERIM CHECK. . .

JIWOO AND SOYEON STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM !

❘ ✸ ›› SOYEON ‣ RAP GUIDE
❛ how did writing your verses go?

❘ ✸ ›› SHIN BYUNGHO ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ we had a couple hiccups here and there as a team, but I think we resolved it... some of us also had help from YOUNGHOON as well, since myself and HASEUL struggled a bit in the beginning.

❘ ✸ ›› CHOI HASEUL ‣ SOUR BUILDING
❛ yeah! and he was really nice and patient with us too, so I think we were able to properly express what we wanted to.

❘ ✸ ›› JIWOO ‣ PRESENCE GUIDE
❛ what about you, SEHYUN? you seem awfully quiet.

❘ ✸ ›› JEONG SEHYUN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ I disagree about YOUNGHOON being "helpful" and "patient" about it. he essentially called us slow yesterday because he was done before us.

❘ ✸ ›› SEO YOUNGHOON ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ [ jaw drops ] excuse me?

❘ ✸ ›› SEO YOUNGHOON ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ no, I didn't. I literally mentioned this yesterday, you guys hadn't done anything for two hours! didn't move your pen, didn't erase, you guys just sat there twiddling your thumbs. not to mention you INSULTED my skills out of nowhere!

❘ ✸ ›› JEONG SEHYUN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ and again, not all of us are as fast-

❘ ✸ ›› SOYEON ‣ RAP GUIDE
❛ STOP IT. both of you, stop talking. now.

having been shut up by soyeon, both
younghoon and sehyun close their mouths.

❘ ✸ ›› SOYEON ‣ RAP GUIDE
❛ are you guys children?

❘ ✸ ›› SOYEON ‣ RAP GUIDE
❛ why is THIS the topic of discussion for an argument when it could be about something that would actually benefit you guys and the performance?

❘ ✸ ›› SOYEON ‣ RAP GUIDE
❛ I don't know what exactly was said, but I can definitely say this. YOUNGHOON is not entirely in the wrong, sitting around and doing nothing is considered laziness. I just think you, [ points to sehyun ] don't want to admit you were slacking off.

❘ ✸ ›› JIWOO ‣ PRESENCE GUIDE
❛ i also want to add, SEHYUN isn't necessarily wrong either. people write their work at different paces. however, that doesn't mean the quality is any less different. a fast writer can be just as good as someone who takes hours or days. and that absolutely does not give anyone the right to insult or critique the quality of someone else's work unless you've heard it.

❘ ✸ ›› JIWOO ‣ PRESENCE GUIDE
❛ do you boys understand?

❘ ✸ ›› PAROXYSM ‣ RAP TEAM
❛ y-yes.

❘ ✸ ›› JIWOO ‣ PRESENCE GUIDE
❛ sort out this mess of yours, we'll be back in an hour.

‎

the door clicks as soyeon and jiwoo
leave the room. tension once again
is so thick you'd have to heat up a
knife just to cut through it.

❘ ✸ ›› SEO YOUNGHOON ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ I'm not apologizing for anything. I said nothing wrong and I stand by that.

❘ ✸ ›› JEONG SEHYUN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ then I'm not apologizing either!

❘ ✸ ›› CHOI HASEUL ‣ SOUR BUILDING
❛ dude, you literally insulted YOUNGHOON and also threw him under the bus in front of JIWOO and THE SOYEON. he's also not wrong. we were definitely slacking off, especially since we knew he was already done!

❘ ✸ ›› JEONG SEHYUN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ why am I being painted as the villain here?? I didn't say anything wrong!

❘ ✸ ›› SHIN BYUNGHO ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ yes, you did! how would you feel if you were done your verses already and someone out of nowhere called the stuff you wrote bad despite them never hearing it?

❘ ✸ ›› JEONG SEHYUN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ . . . well, I'd be upset.

❘ ✸ ›› SHIN BYUNGHO ‣ SOUR BUILDING
❛ now how do you think YOUNGHOON feels? because that's exactly what you did to him.

❘ ✸ ›› JEONG SEHYUN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ [ pauses ] they're right... I'm sorry YOUNGHOON. my additional comment was unnecessary.

❘ ✸ ›› SEO YOUNGHOON ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ thank you, I appreciate the apology. it hasn't been an hour but... I think we can perform in front of them now.

JIWOO AND SOYEON RE-ENTER THE ROOM, THEIR FACES UNREADABLE.

THE BOYS STAND UP AGAIN, AND GET READY TO PERFORM.

they perform the intro before it cuts to the
end of their performance. jiwoo and soyeon
still have unreadable expressions on their
faces.

❘ ✸ ›› SOYEON ‣ RAP GUIDE
❛ [ points to haseul and byungho ] something about your verses don't read as genuine. do you guys actually feel and enjoy what you wrote about?

❘ ✸ ›› SOYEON ‣ RAP GUIDE
❛ [ waves her hand ] scratch that. do you guys understand what you wrote about?

❘ ✸ ›› CHOI HASEUL ‣ SOUR BUILDING
❛ we... kind of let YOUNGHOON take the reins. both of us, I think.

❘ ✸ ›› JIWOO ‣ PRESENCE GUIDE
❛ well, that's your first issue. while the verses sound good, because you guys didn't necessarily write them you don't feel what was put down in pen. I think you guys should go back to the drawing board, now using what YOUNGHOON helped you with.

❘ ✸ ›› CHOI HASEUL/SHIN BYUNGHO ‣ RAP TEAM
❛ okay!

❘ ✸ ›› JIWOO ‣ PRESENCE GUIDE
❛ [ looks at her clipboard ] as for the other two, I don't have much to say. I think you guys did well, I'd just work on repairing the tension between you two. it's no longer a "we are friendly competition" vibe, it's instead "I want to throw hands and hurt this person" vibe. maybe not that extreme, but there's definitely a difference.

❘ ✸ ›› SOYEON ‣ RAP GUIDE
❛ I agree. while your verses sound good and you performed them well, it's clear that you two don't want anything to do with one another at the moment and it almost made the performance hard to watch. take the next two days to calm down and settle your differences.

❘ ✸ ›› SEO YOUNGHOON/JEONG SEHYUN ‣ RAP TEAM

❛ I see that JERRIE is the main dancer? it shows. he and SUHEON stood out the most and it's because they have the choreography at the moment down pat. I hope they're able to help you the next two days.

❘ ✸ ›› SUPERNOVA ‣ DANCE TEAM
❛ okay!

❘ ✸ ›› JIWOO ‣ PRESENCE GUIDE
❛ I'd just like to note that even if the dance is falling short, I also think KITAE and KWANGHO had some of the best facial expressions for the song.

❘ ✸ ›› JIWOO ‣ PRESENCE GUIDE
❛ though not enough to make up for the lack of choreography experience, I think the rest of you should keep an eye on those two for expressions.

❘ ✸ ›› SHIN KITAE/CHOI KWANGHO ‣ DANCE TEAM
❛ thank you!

❘ ✸ ›› JIWOO ‣ PRESENCE GUIDE
❛ work even harder the next two days and show us an even better show on that live stage.

WITH THAT, THE PLAYER GUIDES EXIT. . .

❘ ✸ ›› KAI ‣ DANCE GUIDE
❛ it's a shame that KENZO fell behind a bit, but overall it was such an amazing performance. I think they definitely took notes from those we pointed out during the interim check.

❘ ✸ ›› JIWOO ‣ PRESENCE GUIDE
❛ I agree! they all looked great. I think if they had just a little more time, this would hands down be one of the best performances of the round.

❘ ✸ ›› GONGCHAN ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ KWANGHO was really eye-catching here. I mean, maybe I'm just biased, but he stood out. I liked that.

❘ ✸ ›› SOYEON ‣ RAP GUIDE
❛ no, I agree. he and KITAE. I think they stood out a lot. I'm happy for them, as well as the center and main dancer. they all did well.

THE RESULTS WILL BE REVEALED ALTOGETHER AT THE END. . .

❘ ✸ ›› PARAGON ‣ VOCAL TEAM
❛ you're made of pure excellence, my PARAGON.

❘ ✸ ›› GONGCHAN ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ woahhhh!! what a pretty introduction. and it matches well with the title of the track you'll be performing as well!

❘ ✸ ›› GONGCHAN ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ as the vocal team, what did you guys work on the most aside from the obvious?

❘ ✸ ›› JEONG KORAIN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ hmm, we mostly worked on making sure we all expressed the song clearly. some of us interpreted the song in slightly different ways, so we had to make sure we were all on the same boat.

❘ ✸ ›› CHO SAEBYEOL ‣ SOUR BUILDING
❛ and expressions! we don't want to look bad when we sing even if we sound fine. we are idols-to-be, after all.

❘ ✸ ›› GONGCHAN ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ all valid points! I can't wait to see your guys' performance as a vocalist myself.

❘ ✸ ›› GONGCHAN ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ you may prepare to perform!

AS THE BOYS GET INTO POSITION TO PERFORM. . .

HOW DID THEIR MID-TERM EVALUATION GO ?

‎

‎

‎

‎

━━ ☆ TWO DAYS AGO.

once again, the practice room only
has two trainees seated in it.

❘ ✸ ›› JEONG KORAIN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ genuinely, what do they do? like there is nothing that interesting in this building that should make them disappear for hours on end.

❘ ✸ ›› CHO SAEBYEOL ‣ SOUR BUILDING
❛ [ shakes head ] I wish I could answer that.

❘ ✸ ›› CHO SAEBYEOL ‣ SOUR BUILDING
❛ should we run over our parts again? it seems to be the only thing we can do since we're alone once again.

❘ ✸ ›› JEONG KORAIN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ [ sighs deeply ] yeah, i guess we could. god, them being like this is so disheartening and makes me not want to perform.

as the boys run through their lines, the
practice room door opens. expecting it
to be the other trainees, they ignore it
initially.

❘ ✸ ›› SEUNGYEON ‣ VOCAL GUIDE
❛ [ taps on the mirror ] knock knock, is anyone there?

SAEBYEOL AND KORAIN BOLT UPWARDS, BOWING INSTANTLY !

❘ ✸ ›› JEONG KORAIN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ hello! our apologies for ignoring you, we thought you were our teammates.

❘ ✸ ›› SEUNGYEON ‣ VOCAL GUIDE
❛ [ tilts head ] they disappear like this often?

❘ ✸ ›› CHO SAEBYEOL ‣ SOUR BUILDING
❛ they've been doing this since we were announced to be in this team. we have no idea if they even know their parts... they're never here long enough for us to ask.

❘ ✸ ›› SEUNGYEON ‣ VOCAL GUIDE
❛ that's so... unprofessional.

❘ ✸ ›› SEUNGYEON ‣ VOCAL GUIDE
❛ say, we'll wait for them and when they come back I'll give them a piece of my mind. that sound okay?

❘ ✸ ›› JEONG KORAIN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ [ laughs ] sounds more than okay.

A LITTLE WHILE LATER, THE DOOR OPENS AGAIN AND THREE BOYS WALK IN !

❘ ✸ ›› SEUNGYEON ‣ VOCAL GUIDE
❛ [ arms crossed ] well, hello to you too, boys.

❘ ✸ ›› CHAE SUNGJIN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ oh-

❘ ✸ ›› SEUNGYEON ‣ VOCAL GUIDE
❛ "oh" is right. where have you guys been? do you think this show is just a game you can pause and continue whenever you'd like?

❘ ✸ ›› NISHIMURA ATSUSHI ‣ SOUR BUILDING
❛ no, we-

❘ ✸ ›› SEUNGYEON ‣ VOCAL GUIDE
❛ no, I do not want to hear any of your poor excuses. you've left your team stranded for THREE DAYS. what makes you think I'd just let this slide? do you guys even know what parts you have?

❘ ✸ ›› KANG DOHYUN ‣ SOUR BUILDING
❛ of course! I have... huijun?

❘ ✸ ›› JEONG KORAIN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ [ jaw drops ] that's MY part.

❘ ✸ ›› SEUNGYEON ‣ VOCAL GUIDE
❛ [ scoffs ] unbelievable. you don't even know your own parts. I have never seen this level of unprofessionalism in all my years of being in this industry. you know, if you were around my age and of my expertise, I could understand being more laid back.

❘ ✸ ›› SEUNGYEON ‣ VOCAL GUIDE
❛ but you guys are TRAINEES in a SURVIVAL SHOW. you're acting like a bunch of literal children right now. it almost makes me want to grade the people who are actually taking this seriously and leave you guys with no pointers on how to do well.

❘ ✸ ›› CHAE SUNGJIN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ w-we are taking this seriously!

❘ ✸ ›› JEONG KORAIN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ then WHERE have you been?? you three show up late, sit down and talk for 10 minutes, ignore SAEBYEOL and I, and then VANISH for hours on end like you did just now! how is that taking any of this seriously?

❘ ✸ ›› JEONG KORAIN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ and this isn't even DOHYUN's first offense. you pulled a similar stunt when we were learning the theme song. word travels fast when you have friends who ended up down there.

❘ ✸ ›› SEUNGYEON ‣ VOCAL GUIDE
❛ keep this up and your team will be ruined before you even get to perform. two people cannot make up for three people who won't even show up to practice the parts they don't even know. do you want to go home this early?

THE THREE BOYS SHAKE THEIR HEADS.

❘ ✸ ›› SEUNGYEON ‣ VOCAL GUIDE
❛ then smarten up and get your heads out of the clouds. you're not at home with the luxury of having your parents do everything for you. if you guys aren't children, start acting like it.

❘ ✸ ›› SEUNGYEON ‣ VOCAL GUIDE
❛ I'll see you guys the day of the performance for your rehearsal. I can't critique a team where only ⅖ know their parts. I'm disappointed in you three.

‎

‎

‎

‎

━━ ☆ D-DAY.

all five boys are backstage, getting ready for
their rehearsal stage.

❘ ✸ ›› CHAE SUNGJIN ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ we're so screwed. I have no idea if I'm even performing well.

❘ ✸ ›› CHO SAEBYEOL ‣ SOUR BUILDING
❛ you have nobody to blame but yourself. we could've gotten pointers two days ago but we didn't. so just perform as you have been.

❘ ✸ ›› NISHIMURA ATSUSHI ‣ SOUR BUILDING
❛ c'mon... don't be so harsh on us!

❘ ✸ ›› CHO SAEBYEOL ‣ SOUR BUILDING
❛ no, you shouldn't be expecting anything but the cold shoulder from me. you essentially [ redacted ] over our team by pulling this stunt on KORAIN and I for three days. I'm not going to pretend you guys did absolutely nothing to us. you're no longer a friend to me.

❘ ✸ ›› CHO SAEBYEOL ‣ SOUR BUILDING
❛ I don't even consider you competition.

THE TEAM GETS CALLED ON-STAGE AS SAEBYEOL WALKS AWAY.

as the boys get into their positions, both

korain and saebyeol make eye contactwith seungyeon, who gives them a smile
of reassurance back.

THEY FINISH UP THEIR PERFORMANCE AND AWAIT THE WORDS OF THE VOCAL GUIDE.

❘ ✸ ›› SEUNGYEON ‣ VOCAL GUIDE
❛ for three boys who wanted nothing to do with the team, you did fine. I'm still a bit flabbergasted at your unprofessionalism so I almost want to be petty and only compliment KORAIN and SAEBYEOL, but I'm a guide meant to help everyone here with no judgement.

❘ ✸ ›› SEUNGYEON ‣ VOCAL GUIDE
❛ SUNGJIN, you sing too fast. take a deep breath and focus on your in-ear. if you have to, even look at the boys around you to keep pace.

❘ ✸ ›› SEUNGYEON ‣ VOCAL GUIDE
❛ ATSUSHI, although there isn't much time, work on your pronunciation a bit. there's a couple words where it sounds like you're mumbling. have confidence, or, fake it until you make it.

❘ ✸ ›› SEUNGYEON ‣ VOCAL GUIDE
❛ I have nothing but praise for KORAIN and SAEBYEOL. focusing on your vocals for the first couple days and the facials for the rest benefited you guys greatly. good job.

❘ ✸ ›› SEUNGYEON ‣ VOCAL GUIDE
❛ I don't have anything for DOHYUN. and it's not a compliment, I just don't have anything to give to you where you'd be able to fix it within a couple hours.

❘ ✸ ›› SEUNGYEON ‣ VOCAL GUIDE
❛ you boys may leave the stage. good luck.

AS THE BOYS LEAVE THE STAGE. . .

❛ it was... kind of painful to watch. it was almost clear as day that the other three just didn't want to be there.

❘ ✸ ›› KAI ‣ DANCE GUIDE

❘ ✸ ›› HONG BEOMSEOK ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ [ nods his head ] yep! I liked the lyric, "look at me kissin, look at me kickin," and thought it would sound good mashed together.

❘ ✸ ›› TAK HAEMIN ‣ SOUR BUILDING
❛ it's also similar to the famous, show-stopping album by WEKI MEKI sunbaenim. we wish for your comeback!

❘ ✸ ›› GONGCHAN ‣ GAME MASTER

‎

‎

━━ ☆ TWO DAYS AGO.

the dance-rap team are performing
already in front of the player guides
soyeon and kai.

THEIR PERFORMANCE ENDS WITH KAI AND SOYEON AT A STAND STILL.

❘ ✸ ›› KAI ‣ DANCE GUIDE
❛ I am... really disappointed. JAYDEN was behind in the choreography as a whole, ALEXANDER lacked any emotion, and JUNGWOO... the only people who did decently were HAEMIN and BEOMSEOK.

❘ ✸ ›› KAI ‣ DANCE GUIDE
❛ I've monitored a lot of dances in my time in the industry and I don't think I've quite seen such a level of unpreparedness. I hope you guys can work on this.

❘ ✸ ›› SOYEON ‣ RAP GUIDE
❛ BEOMSEOK is the main rapper? that was probably your best choice. seeing as nobody else had the motivation to even properly sing their two to three lines is a bit irritating.

❘ ✸ ›› SOYEON ‣ RAP GUIDE
❛ HAEMIN did alright, especially considering you guys had to write your own verses as well. I'd personally just work on keeping time. sometimes you chase the beat or the beat chases you. it should be neither.

❘ ✸ ›› KISS&KICK ‣ DANCE-RAP TEAM
❛ we will work hard!

❘ ✸ ›› KAI ‣ DANCE GUIDE
❛ you better! we'll be watching carefully. [ laughs ]

AS THE PLAYER GUIDES LEAVE, THE BOYS SIT IN A CIRCLE AGAIN.

❘ ✸ ›› HONG BEOMSEOK ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ we need to step it up. we won't get good results if we keep this drained and nonchalant energy up.

❘ ✸ ›› HONG BEOMSEOK ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ I don't want to go home, and I especially don't want to go home because my teammates couldn't pick up the slack.

❘ ✸ ›› JAYDEN HAN ‣ SOUR BUILDING
❛ ... I'm just struggling to keep up. can you help me?

❘ ✸ ›› JAYDEN HAN ‣ SOUR BUILDING
❛ the choreography is harder than I thought it'd be, especially since watching it is very different than actually executing it.

❘ ✸ ›› HONG BEOMSEOK ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ of course! let's start now...

━ 𖧷 INTERVIEW CAM 𖧷 ━

❘ ✸ ›› HONG BEOMSEOK ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ I'm happy that HAEMIN and I did well, and I'm especially happy that JAYDEN was willing to ask for help.

❘ ✸ ›› HONG BEOMSEOK ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ now I'm just worried the other two won't do anything to fix their problems. they didn't speak up and still looked dejected and not wanting to be in the building anymore after the guides left.

❘ ✸ ›› HONG BEOMSEOK ‣ SWEET BUILDING
❛ it's not wrong of me to think we'd be better off performing as three... right?
