some girls fan themselves, some
girls smile like maniacs, and the
others have stone cold faces after
their cheering comes to a stop. the
mentors take their seats at the table
near the stage and they call up the
first group of trainees.

─────────────────────────
WHO WILL BE THE FIRST TO PERFORM?

❍ YOUNG﹢꒰ E.CHO

a logo shows on the screen.

❍ KIM JAEIN﹢꒰ C9
❝ ahahah—

❍ KIM JAEIN﹢꒰ C9
❝ please kill me.

❍ YOON BOREUMI﹢꒰ FNC
❝ yah, don't say that! just do your
best and you'll do amazing! I just
know it.

❍ SEO JINSOUL﹢꒰ KQ
❝ yeah, I'm sure you'll get the highest
rank possible.

─────────────────────────

the four girls stand up and head
backstage, anxiously eyeing the
table with the stickers.

❍ WEISHENG﹢꒰ E.CHO
❝ before we leave, I guess we should
let everyone know that this season
there are five preliminary ranks.

❍ ROI﹢꒰ E.CHO
❝ you have your obvious A, B, C, and F,
but notice how there isn't a D?

❍ YOUNG﹢꒰ E.CHO
❝ well, this season we have replaced
the D rank with the rank titled LUX. it
is the highest rank a trainee can get
during the preliminary rounds, which
are right now.

❍ WEISHENG﹢꒰ E.CHO
❝ without further ado, let's bring out
the first company, the girls of c9
entertainment!

the four girls walk onto the stage and
bow at the judges whilst individually
introducing themselves. one of the
mentors went over one of the girls'
paper and picked up the microphone.

❍ SEUNGSIK﹢꒰ V. MENTOR
❝ kim jaein?

❍ KIM JAEIN﹢꒰ C9
❝ yes?

❍ SEUNGSIK﹢꒰ V. MENTOR
❝ I noticed that out of all thirty
girls that you're the oldest, and
that you've trained for almost
six years. what made you join
this show?

❍ KIM JAEIN﹢꒰ C9
❝ uh. . . I remember clearly being
told I was in the lineup for the new
girl group cignature but out of the
blue I was cut. since I've trained
for the longest out of my teammates,
I felt like this was my last chance
to make a debut.

jaein's voice wavered at the memory
of being cut randomly from a debut
lineup, and her teammates comforted
her so she managed to calm down
quickly.

❍ SEUNGSIK﹢꒰ V. MENTOR
❝ ahh, I see. well then I wish you guys
the best of luck. you may begin your
performance.

the girls of c9 entertaiment grab their
props and head back to their positions,
where the music officially began.

kim jaein as sia // song lami as haneul //
chae nahee as sian // jeong suyun as tasha

─────────────────────────

❍ BAEK MINJI﹢꒰ JELLYFISH
❝ at least one of them has to get
the lux rank, they're on beat, skilled,
and their charisma man.

❍ YOO HAEWON﹢꒰ JELLYFISH
❝ I'll be so shocked if they don't.

❍ OKAMOTO IRISA﹢꒰ BEAT INT.
❝ oh my lord, same. that was the
perfect song choice for them.

❍ YOO SIYEON﹢꒰ CRE.KER
❝ I wonder if they have anything
else planned?

──────

the mentors observe the four girls
after their performance ended, and
they clap afterward.

❍ J-KID﹢꒰ D. MENTOR
❝ if I'm quite honest, kara's step
is a pretty easy dance to grasp
overall, but it's the small details
that catch my attention with you
four.

❍ SEUNGSIK﹢꒰ V. MENTOR
❝ I'd like to see jaein's vocal abilities.
do you have anything to show us?

❍ KIM JAEIN﹢꒰ C9
❝ I do.

❍ SEUNGSIK﹢꒰ V. MENTOR
❝ alright then, play the music.

kim jaein as jinsoul

─────────────────────────

after her performance ends,
seungsik tilts his head and sighs.

❍ SEUNGSIK﹢꒰ V. MENTOR
❝ it's not that you're bad, but, I
don't understand the technique
you're using. you seem to be
holding back.

❍ WOW﹢꒰ R. MENTOR
❝ I'd like to point out the rapping with
the two trainees chae nahee and jeong
suyun. you're both stable but, it felt as
though you rapped just because you
were given the position. I really hope I
can see better of you guys.

❍ SONG LAMI﹢꒰ C9
❝ uhm, we had prepared one last thing
for our audition. we had a secondary
dance performance.

❍ J-KID﹢꒰ D. MENTOR
❝ hm, alright. play the music.

kim jaein as bona // song lami as eunseo //
chae nahee as seola // jeong suyun as exy

─────────────────────────

as the performance ended, j-kid
sighed as he clicked his pen open
and closed.

❍ J-KID﹢꒰ D. MENTOR
❝ if I'm completely honest, the only
person who didn't fit this concept at
all was song lami. though her age
fits with it, her face doesn't. it wasn't
a bad performance but it certainly
could've been better.

the four girls bow and wait for
their results.

​
​
​
​
​
​

​

❍ SEUNGSIK﹢꒰ V. MENTOR
❝ I'll now announce the individual rankings
for c9 entertainment.

❍ SEUNGSIK﹢꒰ V. MENTOR
❝ in LUX. . . no one.

❍ SEUNGSIK﹢꒰ V. MENTOR
❝ in A. . . chae nahee.

chae nahee bows and thanks the
mentors.

❍ SEUNGSIK﹢꒰ V. MENTOR
❝ in B. . . jeong suyun and kim jaein.

the two girls bow and thank the
mentors. song lami stands
anxiously.

❍ SEUNGSIK﹢꒰ V. MENTOR
❝ song lami. . . you were given C.

song lami bows and thanks the mentors,
and as she walks away tears form
in her eyes.

─────────────────────────

❍ KIM JAEIN﹢꒰ C9
❝ hey, lami, it's alright. it's not that bad
of a grade, okay?

❍ CHAE NAHEE﹢꒰ C9
❝ yeah, you can get back up there, I just
know it.

❍ SONG LAMI﹢꒰ C9
❝ thanks guys. it means a lot.

the four girls retrieve their respective
stickers and head back to their original
seats. the next company is then called
up.

WHO WILL IT BE?

the screen shows a new logo.

❍ LEE BIA﹢꒰ BEAT INT.
❝ I'm so scared oh my god.

❍ OKAMOTO IRISA﹢꒰ BEAT INT.
❝ same, bia, same.

❍ AHN JISAN﹢꒰ BEAT INT.
❝ we got this girls! we can do this!

─────────────────────────

the four girls get on stage, bow, and
then individually introduce themselves.
the mentors are immediately drawn
to yang yesul.

❍ WOW﹢꒰ R. MENTOR
❝ trainee yang yesul?

❍ YANG YESUL﹢꒰ BEAT INT.
❝ yes?

❍ WOW﹢꒰ R. MENTOR
❝ your name means art. . . were
you named that because your
parents thought that you'd be
good at art?

❍ YANG YESUL﹢꒰ BEAT INT.
❝ uhm, I think so, but I'm terrible
with anything to do with visual
arts so I think I'll stick dance.

❍ WOW﹢꒰ R. MENTOR
❝ haha, I like your personality. anyway,
you girls may begin your performance.
good luck.

the girls get into position as their
song stars. it catches the mentors'
ears as it was the song the girls of c9
used for their extra dance performance.
the only difference here is that the
beat interactive girls are singing the
song and not just dancing.

yang yesul as eunseo // lee bia as hayoung //
ahn jisan as chaeyoung // okamoto irisa as natty

─────────────────────────

❍ KIM EUNMI﹢꒰ KQ
❝ woah. . . yesul is very charismatic
with her dance abilities—

❍ SEO JINSOUL﹢꒰ KQ
❝ didn't she said she's only been training
for two years?

❍ SONG LAMI﹢꒰ C9 / C
❝ but apparently she's been doing dance
in general for years.

❍ KIM EUNMI﹢꒰ KQ
❝ either way. . . damn. she has to get the
lux rank.

──────

the mentors look overall really happy
as the four girls ended their performance.
they clapped and the girls bowed.

❍ SEUNGSIK﹢꒰ V. MENTOR
❝ you guys were really stable for having
a much more difficult choreography for
this song. nonetheless singing in a language
that I am sure is foreign to most of you.

❍ J-KID﹢꒰ D. MENTOR
❝ I really enjoyed this performance, but
the one thing that I'd change is just the
facial expressions between lee bia. she's
talented in the dance and vocal aspects,
but her facial expressions could've been
a bit better. other than that, amazing job
girls.

the girls smile and bow as they wait for
their results.

​
​
​
​
​
​
​​
​

❍ WOW﹢꒰ R. MENTOR
❝ I'll now announce the individual grades
for beat interactive.

❍ WOW﹢꒰ R. MENTOR
❝ in LUX. . . yang yesul. congratulations.

yang yesul covers her mouth in shock
and thanks the mentors after bowing.

❍ WOW﹢꒰ R. MENTOR
❝ in A. . . okamoto irisa and ahn jisan.

the two girls bow and thank the mentors.

❍ WOW﹢꒰ R. MENTOR
❝ in B. . . lee bia.

──────

❍ EUN EUNBI﹢꒰ CRE.KER
❝ woah. beat interactive must really know
how to train their trainees! those were all
really good grades for all four. especially
yesul.

❍ CHOI KKOTBI﹢꒰ FNC
❝ couldn't have said it better myself.

──────

after bowing and thanking the mentors
one last time the four girls head
backstage again and retrieve their
respective stickers before heading
back to their seats. the next company
is called up.

WHO WILL IT BE?

​
​

the logo on the screen changes.

❍ SHIN NARI﹢꒰ HAPPYFACE
❝ ooh, I'm nervous haha.

❍ AHN JUNGHWA﹢꒰ HAPPYFACE
❝ same but we got this. I know we
do.

❍ SHIN NARI﹢꒰ HAPPYFACE
❝ you're right. let's make gyu and our
companies artists proud!

─────────────────────────

the two girls walk on stage and
bow before introducing themselves.

❍ J-KID﹢꒰ D. MENTOR
❝ trainee shin nari?

❍ SHIN NARI﹢꒰ HAPPYFACE
❝ yes?

❍ J-KID﹢꒰ D. MENTOR
❝ how have you not given up
yet after training for almost six
and a half years?

❍ SHIN NARI﹢꒰ HAPPYFACE
❝ ah. I, uhm, to be honest don't know
why I've pushed through for as
long as i have. but since my sister
was a very successful idol, I
guess I just wanted to prove my
worth like she did. and I think I
told myself that hard work always
pays off, even if it takes a long
time.

──────

❍ SEO JINSOUL﹢꒰ KQ
❝ I wish I had that drive in me. . . if it
weren't for my sister I wouldn't be
here right now.

❍ SEO JINSOUL﹢꒰ KQ
❝ I gave up the trainee life after seven
years. . . because I thought it wasn't
for me. now I regret I had ever thought
of that after hearing what nari said on
stage.

──────

❍ J-KID﹢꒰ D. MENTOR
❝ those were some inspiring words
there, shin nari. now I wish you two
girls luck, and you may begin your
performance.

the two girls grab their chairs and get
into position. nari holds her microphone
tightly, as she'd been taught so she
doesn't drop it.

shin nari as haeyoon // ahn junghwa as ahyeong

─────────────────────────

❍ AHN JISAN﹢꒰ BEAT INT. / A
❝ who knew that nari could belt out?
she seems like the girl to have a timid
singing voice but damn was I proven
wrong.

❍ BAEK MINJI﹢꒰ JELLYFISH
❝ junghwa's rap was also well controlled,
I wonder what wow has to say about it.

──────

the mentors looked shocked at the
skill levels between the two girls.

❍ J-KID﹢꒰ D. MENTOR
❝ though the dance could have been a bit
more controlled and powerful, I find that
your guys' abilities to rap and sing helped
balance that out.

❍ SEUNGSIK﹢꒰ V. MENTOR
❝ shin nari, your vocal abilities are really
good, I'm very impressed. you effortlessly
switched between your head and chest
voice which I find to be very admirable.

❍ WOW﹢꒰ R. MENTOR
❝ ahn junghwa. . . your rapping isn't the
best, but it also isn't the worst. you have
good fluidity, as well as the ability to write
your own lyrics, but your execution could've
been a bit better. overall good job girls.

the two girls bow and wait for their
results.

❝ take deep breaths. we got this,

❍ YOON BOREUMI﹢꒰ FNC
❝ okay. we can do this!

─────────────────────────

the two girls get on stage and the
mentors technically have no comments
so they give the girls the right away
to start performing.

✎ (❁ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈) RUNE'S CORNER !

huehuehue I left y'all on a cliffhanger!

I hope you guys didn't forget what I
mentioned in the first mission chapter :
that if two groups pick the same
audition that they'd have to compete
against one another. anyway, I have to
mention a few things about how the
second mission will be executed. this
is important and though I'll be explaining
this in the second mission chapter, this
is just so you guys know what to expect
so I really hope you read it.

for the next mission, there will be six songs
to choose from. however, like in the show
youth with you, only the high ranking trainees
got to pick first and from then on, via random
draw, rank A trainees got to pick their own
teams. I want to use this same system, but
make it my own by having all LUX trainees
by the end of episode one fill out a form
claiming which songs are their first / second /
third choices, as well as which trainees they'd
like in their team. the twist to this is that the
LUX trainees will he using numbers assigned
to each trainee (only I know which trainee is
assigned to each number) so it's to keep
it anonymous all the way through until
the second mission post is republished
with the teams formed.

lastly, the theme song isn't actually a theme
song but instead a mashup of songs that I
believe will fit this show the best, as I don't
want to use typical theme songs such as
nekkoya and pick me. the only downside to
this is that there won't actually be a live
performance of this, but I'll make an edit (a
still image) to make it seem like it is an
actual video. I hope you guys can understand.
(I will link the original video next to the image
in the comments so if you'd like to listen to
it you can).

now, this is all for rune's corner!

p.s : i've decided my follower name. it's
gonna be runiverse! y'all are my favorite stars
in my runiverse ♡

stay safe, wash ur hands, study if you have
online classes, and DISTANCE URSELF!! ily
