"everyone... the votes are in."

"i have to say, we were in shock

"han, we're proud of you! it's clear that

behind someone as talented as her..." ]

[ hyuna clasped her hands over her
mouth in utter shock. the same girls who
worked with her and got along well with
her really thought of her that way? ]

[ camera cut: song eunsae
"it's so sad to see my friends on the
bottom. they don't deserve to be there.
let me tell you, the rest of the trainees
are jealous of them. why else would they
be so low when they're all talented?" ]

[ camera cut: ahiko zooshi
"what if i'm not good enough to
get saved? what happens if i can't
do this any longer after i've lost? ]

"two trainees, huh...? let me see."

[ judge kaori scanned the terrified
faces of each trainee in front of her ]

[ her mind was now made up. ]

"i'm going to save...

choi hyun and....

hwa hyuna"

[ the two girls hugged each other
and then bowed to judge kaori ]

hyun: thank you, kaori-nim! we will do
our best to never be on the bottom again.

hyuna: i promise we won't let
you down. thank you so much.

[ camera cut: hwa hyuna
"it really opened my eyes to be on the
bottom tonight. if the other trainees
wanna play like that, then bring it on." ]

[ camera cut: lee anna
"we shouldn't have been eliminated.
i know the judges can't do anything
about it, but it's really unfair to us, who
have been working the hardest." ]

[ camera cut: choi hyun
"as much as i love those girls, i
can't play nice anymore. this is
a competition after all. i cant
be on the bottom again... ]

[ the three eliminated - lee anna,
ahiko zooshi, and avhyn jung -
picked up their microphones to
give their final speeches ]

avhyn: hello, everyone! apparently this is
going to be my last stage on this show. i'm
actually quite surprised that i actually got
this far. thank you to everyone who has
been supporting and helping me. i'm very
sorry for disappointing you. good luck for
the remaining contestants!

zooshi: thank you for all of your
patience with me! i promise i will do
even better from now on! daisuki~

anna: i tried so hard. i hope
the others get what they want.

"goodbye, girls. we'll miss you
dearly. thank you for your time
here on project joyride."

[ they held hands and bowed one last time,
then made their way off of the stage. the
remaining 43 trainees all watched, some
feeling sad, some relived, some happy, and
some... guilty. some girls even shed tears. ]

[ camera cut: bu minkyung
"i'm gonna miss zooshi. she was so
nice and uplifting... i'm scared joyride
will become a real competition now
with no love or sympathy..." ]

"well, everyone. we're sorry to see
them go. we're going to give the
girls a day to rest, and then give
them a new mission in two! thanks
for tuning in. see you next time!"

[ the dorms were dead silent that
night, everyone was tense with
all sorts of awful emotions ]

[ joyoung spoke up first, sitting
in the corner of the couch ]

joyoung: is that the type of trainees
you all have become? bringing down
the best in manipulative ways so that
you can be on top? is that fair? do you
even have enough skills to be in joyride?

seungli: joyoung, it's not worth
it... it's already been done.

changyin: or maybe we voted fairly
and they happened to be the worst.
are you really gonna keep talking
about this or move on and be glad
that it wasn't you? there's nothing we
can do anymore so just shut up!

choonhee: yini... don't yell.

soomin: guys don't fight... oh, okay
no one is listening. i'll just leave.

joyoung: don't you dare tell me to shut up.
you're four years younger than me, show
some respect. i understand we can't turn
back time and change our votes, but i don't
want anyone to act out like that again...

changyin: whatever.

dasom: we're not mad. let's just not fight
again. its okay to be stressed though, the elim-
inations were really unexpected and sudden.

lijian: everyone listen to dasom. she's
the only rational one talking right now.
you all are just worked up since it just
happened.

[ meanwhile, in hyuna's bedroom
which she shared with changyin,
ina, seungwan, and anna... ]

hanbyeol: hey, hyuna... are you
okay? i saw that you were in last
place. that must feel awful...

[ hyuna only nodded sadly.
hanbyeol sat on the bed
beside her and sighed ]

hanbyeol: if it makes you feel any
better, i didn't vote you off. i really
do think whoever did was jealous
of you. honestly, you have so much
potential. don't be sad, okay?

hyuna: thanks, unnie. my feelings
are really hurt, but this made me
feel a lot better. i think you have
a lot of potential too... friends?

hanbyeol: of course. friends. now let's
get you ready for bed so you can rest up.

[ awkwardly, all trainees went to their
rooms for the night without talking.
there was so much to think about now
and it was only episode three... ]

* i don't think this voting was fair still...
i don't like it when you guys spam vote
or even tag outsiders anymore. it's not
fair for everyone, so next time maybe
i'll try sending a form through pm and
you send me results directly. if anyone
has any other ideas, please do tell me!
