SEIYUU ACADEMY: EPISODE ZERO.
WHAT IS HAPPENING IN CLASS THREE . . . ?
γ YUELIANG οΉ CLASS THREE γ [slamming the door open] ... IS THIS CLASS THREE?
γ TAEYANG οΉ CLASS THREE γ ... Took you long enough, Yueliang. I was called 16 students after you but I got here earlier? If you embarass me like this I'll make sure you don't get out of Trevi Fountain alive next time.
γ YANG ZIXUAN οΉ CLASS THREE γ ... Next time?
γ DO JUNSEO οΉ CLASS THREE γ Not this story again... Zixuan, you know better than me what happened in Rome. Weren't you literally there?
γ YANG ZIXUAN οΉ CLASS THREE γ What are you saying... I was born in Portugal, not Italy?
γ CHOI EUNWOO οΉ CLASS THREE γ [mumbling to herself, visibly upset] ... This class is full of men. I hate it here. They promised me there would be cute girls to be friends with! Why am I surrounded by a bunch of men who can't even follow easy instructions such as getting in class on time?
γ LEE SIYUN οΉ CLASS THREE γ ... You could've sat in Taeyang's place, then? It was free before he arrived and you'd get to be next to a girl.
γ CHOI EUNWOO οΉ CLASS THREE γ Silence, dude. Aren't you friends with that other tall dude... What was his name again? Not that I care enough to remember... [yawns]
CLASS THREE DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE A FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE, UNLIKE THE OTHERS.
IN FACT, MOST OF THE TRAINEES ARE KEEPING TO THEMSELVES OR THEIR CLOSE FRIENDS.
γ LEE SIYUN οΉ CLASS THREE γ [whispering to TAEYANG, who's sitting in front of him] Psst! Taeyang!
γ TAEYANG οΉ CLASS THREE γ Yes, Siyun?
γ LEE SIYUN οΉ CLASS THREE γ Don't you think the dude next to me looks handsome as hell? Ask Yueliang if he can introduce the two of you!
γ TAEYANG οΉ CLASS THREE γ [furrowing his eyebrows] ... Huh? What is that supposed to mean?
γ LEE SIYUN οΉ CLASS THREE γ He does look fruity, in my opinion. I'm sure you'd have a chance! You're very attractive, I mean, I don't think anyone could resist you!
γ TAEYANG οΉ CLASS THREE γ ... Are you sure you're not the gay one here?
γ LEE SIYUN οΉ CLASS THREE γ I've never laid an eye on a man in that way. But I'd consider it if I were you!
γ TAEYANG οΉ CLASS THREE γ Whatever. Stop with that, will you? It's the third time you try to hook me up with someone. [sighs] This isn't a dating show, and I'm not interested either.
γ LEE SIYUN οΉ CLASS THREE γ But-
γ DO JUNSEO οΉ CLASS THREE γ [forcing a smile] Are you done talking about me, Lee Siyun? You sure talk a lot for someone who told everyone and their mothers he's in a polycule with his fellow members... Which seems to be queerbaiting, in the end. You managed to misgender me in the way, too, but I'll give you the benefit of doubt and think of it as a honest mistake. I don't use masculine pronouns.
γ LEE SIYUN οΉ CLASS THREE γ I'm terribly sorry! [tries to bow, but slams his head against the desk in the meanwhile] Ow!
γ TAEYANG οΉ CLASS THREE γ ...
γ DO JUNSEO οΉ CLASS THREE γ [chuckles] That was so lame.
γ LEE SIYUN οΉ CLASS THREE γ [with a hand on his forehead] Ow, ow... That hurt... [shaking his head] Either way, I'm seriously sorry! I didn't mean to be offensive, nor to misgender you! I genuinely didn't know!
γ DO JUNSEO οΉ CLASS THREE γ ... It's OK.
[IS IT REALLY OK, JUNSEO?]
AND SO, WHEN THE TEACHERS ARRIVE...
γ ??? οΉ VOCAL TEACHER γ [outside the class's door, in Japanese] ... Wow, it's so quiet there. Are the trainees still waiting in the general room for their names to be called? It can't be, though...
γ ??? οΉ DANCE TEACHER γ [in Japanese] I heard their names being called, so I don't think that's the case...
γ ??? οΉ VOCAL TEACHER γ I see... Shall we get in?
THE SOUND OF SOMETHING BEING BROKEN CAN BE HEARD IN CLASS THREE !
γ ??? οΉ CLASS THREE γ [loudly, from inside the class] Stop IT! You're so ANNOYING!
γ ??? οΉ VOCAL TEACHER γ ... We definitely should get in now.
THE TEACHERS OPEN THE DOOR TO CLASS THREE, SCARED FOR THEIR LIVES !
γ ??? οΉ VOCAL TEACHER γ [in Korean] ... Excuse me? Is everything OK?
γ JEONG SAMUEL οΉ CLASS THREE γ O-oh...
γ JUNG SEOLHA οΉ CLASS THREE γ [squealing] Such an icon! No way... Is she going to be our teacher? I feel so lucky right now...!
γ TAEYEON οΉ VOCAL TEACHER γ Thank you...! Good morning everyone. I, Taeyeon, will be your vocal teacher for the entire experience here.
γ TAEYEON οΉ VOCAL TEACHER γ And this is Chikada Rikimaru, your dance teacher.
γ RIKIMARU οΉ DANCE TEACHER γ [waves his hand, silently]
γ TAEYEON οΉ VOCAL TEACHER γ Even with our interpreter he's quite the quiet type, so don't expect him to say too much. But I'm very sure he'll be a precious help for everyone!
γ JIN SIEUN οΉ CLASS THREE γ [mumbling to herself] Seeing our acting teachers, he doesn't seem to be the only one...
γ UMEHARA YUICHIRO οΉ ACTING TEACHER γ Hello there, I'm Umehara Yuichiro. Nakajima-san and I will be your acting teachers for the entire program, but we're also willing to provide help with singing in case anyone asks for it.
γ NAKAJIMA YOSHIKI οΉ ACTING TEACHER γ Right!
γ TAEYEON οΉ VOCAL TEACHER γ No but seriously... Is everything OK? I heard someone screaming before coming here.
γ YANG SIHYEON οΉ CLASS THREE γ Ah, yeah... It was Eunwoo yelling at Siyun for throwing paper planes at Seokhoon.
γ CHOI EUNWOO οΉ CLASS THREE γ He's been going on like that for twenty minutes now!
γ LEE SIYUN οΉ CLASS THREE γ Well, I have many things to tell him!
γ TAEYEON οΉ VOCAL TEACHER γ ... What about that noise? You didn't throw anything, did you?
γ YANG ZIXUAN οΉ CLASS THREE γ No, that was my phone falling... [scratching his head, embarrassed]
γ TAEYEON οΉ VOCAL TEACHER γ [sighing in relief] I'm glad it's not what I thought. Is your phone OK, Zixuan?
γ YANG ZIXUAN οΉ CLASS THREE γ Oh, yes! Thanks, Taeyeon-sunbaenim.
γ TAEYEON οΉ VOCAL TEACHER γ I'm glad. Shall we go on and explain a bit how things are going to work here? I shall do that while the other teachers distribute your schedules.
γ TAEYEON οΉ VOCAL TEACHER γ You'll have a quite busy first week, considering this is the time you'll move your belongings in the school dorms and you'll also decide your CLASS REPRESENTATIVE and their DELEGATE. They will supervision the class and report any problem to us.
γ TAEYEON οΉ VOCAL TEACHER γ It's a role that requires the utmost responsibility and respect for your classmates. Please, select your representatives responsibly.
TAEYEON WARNS THE STUDENTS ABOUT RESPONSIBILITIES AS A GROUP LEADER HERSELF !
γ TAEYEON οΉ VOCAL TEACHER γ Being selected as a CLASS REPRESENTATIVE or DELEGATE will grant you some benefits in the finale. Should you be considered inappropriate for the role, however, the teachers will take your position away and give you an appropriate punishment. Your fellow classmates' destiny is in your hands, so it is only appropriate for us to make sure you'll fulfill your duties properly.
γ JEONG SAMUEL οΉ CLASS THREE γ [hesitating] Excuse me... What do you mean with punishment?
γ TAEYEON οΉ VOCAL TEACHER γ Your reward as a good class representative would be additional points to be added to your final REPORT CARD after calculating the average between the teachers' grades and votes from home, so the appropriate punishment would be subtracting that same sum instead of adding it. Other questions?
NO ONE REPLIES. THE CLASS HAS FROZEN OUT OF FEAR.
γ TAEYEON οΉ VOCAL TEACHER γ I'm sorry! I don't want any of you to feel threatened. I just want everyone to make responsible choices, as teamwork heavily affects your performance in a context like this one. You'll also debut in a group together, after all.
γ TAEYEON οΉ VOCAL TEACHER γ Leaving this topic on the side...
THE SCREEN BEHIND TAEYEON CHANGES TO A PICTURE OF... KEYS?
[WAIT, THAT WASN'T A NORMAL WHITEBOARD?]
γ TAEYEON οΉ VOCAL TEACHER γ The teachers should've given you a bunch of keys. They should include the key to the main room of your dorm, your personal bedroom and a few other ones whose function you'll discover later on. You'll see a sticker with an animal icon on the top: that will be your GENERAL DORM KEY.
γ TAEYEON οΉ VOCAL TEACHER γ You'll share the general rooms with three other students from the other classes, but you'll sleep in a single bedroom. [pointing at the keys on the right side of the screen] The second key you'll receive is, in fact, your BEDROOM KEY, which might come in one of these four colors.
γ TAEYEON οΉ VOCAL TEACHER γ The third one is your TRAINING ROOM KEY. Each class has one training room, hence the colors chosen. As for the black key...
γ TAEYEON οΉ VOCAL TEACHER γ It's a secret. [laughs]
γ JUNG SEOLHA οΉ CLASS THREE γ ... Huh?
γ YANG SIHYEON οΉ CLASS THREE γ That's incredibly suspicious... I'm also curious, though.
γ TAEYEON οΉ VOCAL TEACHER γ Let's explain the rest.
TAEYEON GOES ON WITH HER EXPLANATION.
[IT SEEMS LIKE EVEN THE PRODUCTION TEAM GOT TIRED OF IT, THOUGH, AS SHE'S SPEAKING AT x5... π]
γ TAEYANG οΉ CLASS THREE γ [whispering to SAMUEL] ... I'm scared. How can she keep this up? It feels like a hour has passed. Doesn't her throat feel sore now?
γ JEONG SAMUEL οΉ CLASS THREE γ Taeyeon-sunbaenim has gone on for an entire hour now...
γ TAEYEON οΉ VOCAL TEACHER γ ... And that is all. Any questions?
THE TRAINEES SHAKE THEIR HEADS VIGOROUSLY.
γ TAEYEON οΉ VOCAL TEACHER γ I see! Then my job for today is done. You may go to your dorms, now that you've received your keys and schedules. Can't wait to meet you tomorrow!
BEFORE PROCEDING, LET'S SUMMARIZE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF KEY THE STUDENTS OWN AS OF NOW.
γ TAEYANG οΉ CLASS THREE γ What's your dorm's animal, Samuel?
γ JEONG SAMUEL οΉ CLASS THREE γ Oh... I got a cat.
γ TAEYANG οΉ CLASS THREE γ Mhm... Yeah, it seems fitting.
γ JEONG SAMUEL οΉ CLASS THREE γ What about you? Is it the same?
γ TAEYANG οΉ CLASS THREE γ Oh, no. I got a panda.
γ JEONG SAMUEL οΉ CLASS THREE γ That's cute...! Have a good time with your dorm mates. How are we supposed to reach the dorms from here, though?
γ ??? 1 οΉ STAFF γ The dorms are in this building. There's signs near the stairs, so follow the instructions there to reach your dorm.
γ JUNG SEOLHA οΉ CLASS THREE γ Oh...! Thank you... What's your name, staff member?
γ ??? 1 οΉ STAFF γ Is it really relevant... I'm nothing but an NPC in your life, why would you care...
γ "HAO" οΉ STAFF γ [sighing] Just call him Hoon. As for me, you can call me Hao.
γ TAEYANG οΉ CLASS THREE γ It feels a bit informal though... Are you sure? [closing his eyes as he thinks] Mhm... Then again, we used to call our school janitors by their names... [mimicking YUELIANG] Carmela, Carmela! Where is Mrs. [CENSORED]? She's absent, isn't she? I'll take my leave! I didn't study the 90 pages for her Art History's test, so don't tell her anything... No, please! Don't tell her!
γ YUELIANG οΉ CLASS THREE γ Hey! That's not very nice! I got 2/10 that day...
γ TAEYANG οΉ CLASS THREE γ Sounds like a you problem, I got a 10/10. If only you didn't pass the days before the test by watching Beryl and Sapphire's episodes instead of studying, maybe you would've gotten at least an 8/10.
γ YUELIANG οΉ CLASS THREE γ YOU DIDN'T EVEN STUDY FOR IT.
γ TAEYANG οΉ CLASS THREE γ [shrugging] I paid attention in class. Skill issue.
γ "HAO" οΉ STAFF γ [blank stare] Are you guys done. I'm sure you need to move lots of things in your dorms, so I recommend starting right away. You're supposed to be in class tomorrow too.
γ CHOI EUNWOO οΉ CLASS THREE γ Huh!? Already? [sighing] I wanted to take a good nap before starting, but if I have to unpack everything by tonight I don't know if that will be possible...
γ JIN SIEUN οΉ CLASS THREE γ Oh, but you're in the FOX DORM just like me, right? Then I can help you!
γ CHOI EUNWOO οΉ CLASS THREE γ REALLY? Thank you so much, Siu! I can call you like that, right...? I heard your friend calling you like that during the class announcements!
γ JIN SIEUN οΉ CLASS THREE γ Of course, Eunwoo!
[DON'T TELL SIEUN, BUT EUNWOO DOESN'T EVEN HAVE MUCH TO UNPACK... SHE WAS LOOKING FOR AN EXCUSE TO GET HELP FROM A PRETTY GIRL. FUNNY, ISN'T IT?]
IT'S TIME FOR THE STUDENTS TO REACH THEIR DORMS.
STARTING FROM DORM SIX, ALSO KNOWN AS THE PANDA DORM...
γ TAEYANG οΉ CLASS THREE γ Oh, I'm glad... Yueliang isn't here.
γ DO JUNSEO οΉ CLASS THREE γ Not even a comment on the general rooms, huh? You don't like your brother that much, do you.
γ TAEYANG οΉ CLASS THREE γ Junseo, you're literally his fellow member. You should know better than me how much of a loser he is by now... If he wasn't handsome, no one would like him at all.
γ DO JUNSEO οΉ CLASS THREE γ I got it, I got it. But what do you think?
γ TAEYANG οΉ CLASS THREE γ Mhm... Not much. I'm surprised they have enough money to allow themselves ten dorms like this one, even if it doesn't suit my tastes...
γ OSCAR LEE οΉ CLASS ONE γ [as he enters the room] Oh, so someone was here already... Nice to meet you! I'm Oscar, and this is Luka. I hope we'll become friends~
γ LUKA MIKHAILOV οΉ CLASS ONE γ Hello...
γ TAEYANG οΉ CLASS THREE γ Hi there. Hopefully we will...
γ DO JUNSEO οΉ CLASS THREE γ Nice to meet you too. Well, let's see which one of us gets which room... Those bags are so painful to look at.
JUNSEO UNLOCKS AND OPENS THE FIRST DOOR WITH THEIR MAGENTA KEY.
γ DO JUNSEO οΉ CLASS THREE γ Wow... It's so dull. I wonder if we can paint the walls? Or put something on them, at least...
γ TAEYANG οΉ CLASS THREE γ [using his CYAN KEY to unlock his room] ... Oh, so boring. Just a bed, a drawer and empty walls.
OSCAR AND LUKA SEEM TO BE OF THE SAME IDEA AS JUNSEO AND TAEYANG.
WHAT ABOUT THE OTHERS?
IN DORM FOUR, ALSO KNOWN AS WOLF DORM...
γ NAM KYUHYUNG οΉ CLASS TWO γ Oh, it seems peaceful here. Having a personal room is also great, considering who I'm sharing this dorm with...
γ SUNG JUNSOO οΉ CLASS TWO γ [clinging onto JUNO's arm] What do you mean by that, Kyuhyung~
γ PARK JUNO οΉ CLASS TWO γ Can you leave my arm already, Junsoo...
γ YANG SIHYEON οΉ CLASS THREE γ At least he stopped barking.
γ NAM KYUHYUNG οΉ CLASS TWO γ That doesn't sound very reassuring... [sighs] Junsoo, leave Juno alone.
JUNSOO STARTS BARKING AGGRESSIVELY.
[KYUHYUNG DIDN'T FORESEE THIS. HE LOOKS LIKE HE WANTS TO DISAPPEAR LIKE CHERRIES IN WINTER... THAT WASN'T FUNNY? I'M SORRY.]
γ YANG SIHYEON οΉ CLASS THREE γ [pulling JUNSOO with all her strength] Quit it already, Junsoo.
γ SUNG JUNSOO οΉ CLASS TWO γ Aw, Sisi... [pouting] That's not cool of you! You're separating me from the love of my life~!
γ YANG SIHYEON οΉ CLASS THREE γ Yeah, and the Queen didn't die. Nice one.
γ SUNG JUNSOO οΉ CLASS TWO γ Hatsune Miku can't die, loser. My point still stands!
γ NAM KYUHYUNG οΉ CLASS TWO γ [palmface] He's so unserious... You should know that by now, Sihyeon.
γ YANG SIHYEON οΉ CLASS THREE γ [sighs] He never fails to surprise m- What are you doing with that, Junsoo?
γ SUNG JUNSOO οΉ CLASS TWO γ I'm taking pictures of Juno, easy~!
γ SUNG JUNSOO οΉ CLASS TWO γ Isn't he so handsome? He's the most handsome man I've ever seen~
SEEMS LIKE JUNSOO IS NOT LETTING JUNO REST ANYTIME SOON.
HOW COME HE'S SO CLINGY WITH HIM?
