the two people left seated both only
have two options. one has to go to
AFTER THIS NIGHT, the other HUSH.
YOO HAEWON stands up, and when
she begins walking toward the HUSH
team, HWANG SUNJAE lets out an
audible sigh before standing up and
securing her spot in the AFTER THIS
NIGHT team.

❍ DAEHWI﹢꒰ REP.
❝ and with that, both teams are closed!

❍ DAEHWI﹢꒰ REP.
❝ remember what you have to get done,
work hard, and be prepared! good luck
girls.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

ʚ 4:12pm ﹫ chb final mission stage ɞ

──────

two days have passed since the final
mission teams have been formed, and
it's now time for the dress rehearsal +
mentor evaluation. the girls are scared,
as they would be, but are also excited
because they know how hard they
worked to get where they are right now.

J-KID, SEUNGSIK, and WOW were all
gathered near a table further away from
the stage. they flipped through the papers
in front of them, being critical of who all
was in the groups.

the first group entered the stage. the nine
girls belonged to the HUSH team, and lined
up on the stage and introduced themselves.
WOW picked up the microphone laying on
the table next to him.

❍ WOW﹢꒰ RAP MENTOR
❝ I'm quite shocked that YOO HAEWON
decided to pick this team.

❍ YOO HAEWON﹢꒰ JELLYFISH / 15
❝ I picked this song because I feel
like it shows what I want to show the
audience.

WOW nods his head and allows the girls
to start. when the music begins to play,
the camera cuts and zooms into the
practice room.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

ʚ 9:54am ﹫ chb practice room ɞ

──────

❍ CHAE NAHEE﹢꒰ C9 / 10
❝ so, we're the HUSH team. . .
we need to distribute lines.

❍ CHAE NAHEE﹢꒰ C9 / 10
❝ who here raps? rap is a large
portion of this song, so we need
to determine our strongest
rappers.

after NAHEE asks the question, YESUL,
HAEWON, JOOHYUN, and SIYEON all
raised their hands. nodding her head
she marked down their names.

❍ CHAE NAHEE﹢꒰ C9 / 10
❝ okay. . . who wants the first
rap line– er who thinks they can
do it well?

❍ YANG YESUL﹢꒰ BEAT INT. / 5
❝ I want to try it. I want to show
more of my skills in that area, so
I would like to attempt it.

❍ CHOI JOOHYUN﹢꒰ INDIVIDUAL / 7
❝ I can take whatever else is
left for rap parts. I don't mind
what I get.

❍ CHAE NAHEE﹢꒰ C9 / 10
❝ okay. . . I'll take the high
note near the end. what about
the 'la la la la la'? who would want
that part?

the room goes silent as the members
individually debate on their skills and
whether or not they'd be able to handle
the note. IRISA eventually raises her
hand. NAHEE writes down her name
as she nods her head and the rest of
the lines are eventually distributed.
whether or not they'll change is up to
both WOW and SEUNGSIK later.

────────────

now, the girls are working on the
choreography. CAMILLE is currently
struggling to keep up with strong
dancers such as IRISA, NAHEE, and
JIYOUNG. she slows and eventually
stops as she watches the girls
continue dance from the back of the
room. sighing she gripped her hair
and fell into a squat. YESUL, having
noticed, stopped her own rehearsing
and pulled CAMILLE back up.

❍ YANG YESUL﹢꒰ BEAT INT. / 5
❝ okay, so you're going to move your
arms like this.

she positions her arms correctly and
then shows her the movements.
CAMILLE follows it correctly.

❍ YANG YESUL﹢꒰ BEAT INT. / 5
❝ now combine that arm movement with
these feet movements. you got this.

❍ CAMILLE CHOI﹢꒰ INDIVIDUAL / 12
❝ thank you. I think I have the hang of it.

❍ YANG YESUL﹢꒰ BEAT INT. / 5
❝ that's good. don't be afraid to ask
for help, you know.

❍ CAMILLE CHOI﹢꒰ INDIVIDUAL / 12
❝ I know, thank you again.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

the camera cuts back to the stage, and
the girls do a dry rehearsal of the vocals
and rap. the camera cuts to certain
members and certain parts, more
specifically the beginning rap line which
YESUL had taken. the camera cut to
WOW giving a questionable expression
before the camera cut to the end of the
song. the room was silent.

❍ SEUNGSIK﹢꒰ VOCAL MENTOR
❝ okay. . .

❍ SEUNGSIK﹢꒰ VOCAL MENTOR
❝ the vocals are alright. I think
the improvement I see the most
from is probably NAHEE. you've
always had strong vocals but
this song has showcased them
better.

❍ CHAE NAHEE﹢꒰ C9 / 10
❝ thank you.

❍ SEUNGSIK﹢꒰ VOCAL MENTOR
❝ now, I'm just confused. it's known
that YESUL is a rapper and dancer,
yet was given vocal lines. was there
a reason for this?

❍ YANG YESUL﹢꒰ BEAT INT. / 5
❝ I believed that I had improved
my vocals enough by now that
I could take on the notes. so I
volunteered myself to take them.

SEUNGSIK sighed and tilted his head.

❍ SEUNGSIK﹢꒰ VOCAL MENTOR
❝ you have improved, but you're
lacking in the vocal stability and
power. if you could work on that
tonight, you'll do amazing tomorrow.

❍ YANG YESUL﹢꒰ BEAT INT. / 5
❝ yes, I will. thank you.

──────

WOW picked up his microphone again
and was about to speak, but sighed.
putting the mic near his mouth again
he spoke.

❍ WOW﹢꒰ RAP MENTOR
❝ YANG YESUL. . . your first part is
weak. I think someone else should
take it.

❍ WOW﹢꒰ RAP MENTOR
❝ can HAEWON please try it?

HAEWON does the line that YESUL
originally took and the two girls
watched as the rap mentor nodded
his head.

❍ WOW﹢꒰ RAP MENTOR
❝ I think HAEWON should take that part.
it fits her more. your other parts, YESUL,
you can keep as you work well with them.

──────

the girls bowed and got into the positions
for the dance, starting when the music
did. the camera cut to CAMILLE messing
up and J-KID showing a confused
expression. he raised his eyebrows and
tilted his head. when they finished he
picked up his microphone.

❍ J-KID﹢꒰ DANCE MENTOR
❝ alright. why hasn't CAMILLE picked up
the choreography yet?

❍ J-KID﹢꒰ DANCE MENTOR
❝ make sure to help her if you clearly
see her struggling, okay? and help her
well, not just with one thing and then
focus on yourself.

❍ J-KID﹢꒰ DANCE MENTOR
❝ being in a group isn't just an individual
sport, right? teamwork is needed all the
time. work hard, okay?

the girls yelled 'yes' and bowed, leaving the
stage. the AFTER THIS NIGHT team entered
the stage and did the same thing as the
first group. the camera cut to their practice
room right as the dry rehearsal was about
to start.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

ʚ 11:42am ﹫ chb practice room ɞ

──────

the nine girls of the AFTER THIS NIGHT
team sat in a semi-circle, the lead being
taken by SEO JINSOUL instantly.

❍ SEO JINSOUL﹢꒰ KQ / 1
❝ mkay so, lines. who wants what?

❍ AHN JISAN﹢꒰ BEAT INT. / 9
❝ I want the rap line, if that's okay
with any others here. I feel like I'm
the strongest rapper here.

❍ SEO JINSOUL﹢꒰ KQ / 1
❝ alright. . . anybody else who wants
specific lines?

❍ SHIN SUNMI﹢꒰ MNH / 14
❝ can I ask to take one of the choruses?
I think I'd be able to handle it.

JINSOUL tilted her head and bit
the pen. she hesitated.

❍ SEO JINSOUL﹢꒰ KQ / 1
❝ I. . . think that someone
else should take those lines.

❍ SEO JINSOUL﹢꒰ KQ / 1
❝ maybe myself, BELLA, BIA,
and SUNJAE could take a
chorus.

❍ SEO JINSOUL﹢꒰ KQ / 1
❝ you could take the 'i wanna
be a star' and the second 'i'll be
there for you'?

❍ SHIN SUNMI﹢꒰ MNH / 14
❝ I. . . um, okay. thats fine I guess.

──────────────────

❛ HOW DID IT FEEL BEING SHUT
DOWN LIKE THAT? ❜

❍ SHIN SUNMI﹢꒰ MNH / 14
❝ it hurt, a lot. especially since I've
gotten close with trainees like BIA.

❍ SHIN SUNMI﹢꒰ MNH / 14
❝ it's like she was looking down on
me because she's the newly crowned
first rank.

❍ SHIN SUNMI﹢꒰ MNH / 14
❝ its not like I don't have any talent.
if I didn't why haven't I been yelled
at by the mentors or have been
eliminated yet?

──────────────────

even with the wish to have been given
more lines, SUNMI cooperates with
everyone else and their line distribution
goes smoothly. they start working on
the choreography which also goes
smoothly. they help each other when
needed and they all have the choreography
mostly down pat.

the camera cuts back to the stage and
their dry rehearsal starts. SEUNGSIK and
WOW eye the girls carefully as parts are
sung and rapped, and eventually the girls
finish. SEUNGSIK picks his mic up first.

❍ SEUNGSIK﹢꒰ VOCAL MENTOR
❝ SHIN SUNMI, for the small amount of
lines you got, you did really well. I'm
happy at your improvement from day one.

❍ SHIN SUNMI﹢꒰ MNH / 14
❝ thank you!

❍ SEUNGSIK﹢꒰ VOCAL MENTOR
❝ two other people who stood out to
me were LEE BELLA and LEE BIA.
your guys' vocals mix well with the
song.

❍ SEUNGSIK﹢꒰ VOCAL MENTOR
❝ for critiques, all I have to say is work
on your pronunciation and annunciation.
and work on confidence, your voices
need to be powerful but also husky.

the girls nod their heads and bow and
while they do that WOW raises his mic
to his mouth.

❍ WOW﹢꒰ RAP MENTOR
❝ since your only rapper who has parts
is AHN JISAN. . . all I have to say
is good job. you did well.

❍ AHN JISAN﹢꒰ BEAT INT. / 9
❝ thank you.

──────────────────

❛ HOW DID IT FEEL BEING PRAISED? ❜

❍ AHN JISAN﹢꒰ BEAT INT. / 9
❝ well, as anyone would feel, it
was an amazing feeling.

❍ AHN JISAN﹢꒰ BEAT INT. / 9
❝ I feel noticed. and thats what I've
wanted for the longest time here.
I think I have a chance at winning.

──────────────────

the girls got into position for the dance,
J-KID showing sharp eyesight for even
the smallest of details. when the camera
cut to the girls finishing, he raised his
mic.

❍ J-KID﹢꒰ DANCE MENTOR
❝ overall you girls are good. but the
two major things you need to work on
are facial expressions and stage
confidence.

❍ J-KID﹢꒰ DANCE MENTOR
❝ you're up there showing that you
can own that stage. you aren't supposed
to dance just because you have to.
work on those, okay?

❍ J-KID﹢꒰ DANCE MENTOR
❝ impress me tomorrow.

the AFTER THIS NIGHT girls yell a 'yes'
before bowing and exiting the stage.
both teams separate and head back to
their own practice rooms, working on
the criticisms they received.

WILL THEY SHOW THEIR BEST SIDES?

✎ (❁ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈) RUNE'S CORNER !

I'm so sorry that this episode is
out so late. all I can say is that
I've lost a lot of motivation to
finish this show since my
inactivity has led to others being
inactive and its just a big mess.

also, since J-KID no longer goes
by that stage name, i will be using
his current stage name from now
on.

however, I genuinely want to
finish this af, so I will do my best
to finish it before the end of march.

I'm opening up the voting page early
because I want to be able to write
the next two episodes asap so I don't
have to stress about this af anymore
and can focus on the final group under
LM.

thank you again for the continuous love
and support <33

ily ♡
