❛ EPISODE ONE, PART ONE. ❜
the new players have no boundaries.

( WORDS HERE SIGNIFY "JAEHYUN" AND HIS COMMENTARY AS AN EDITOR/CAMERA MAN )

MY SUGAR-RUSH! CONTINUES !

four boys continue the walk down to
the main door after the camera shifted
to the outside shots.

❘ ✸ ›› ??? ‣ #???
❛ [ trips and falls ] OW!

❘ ✸ ›› ??? ‣ #???
❛ [ holding back laughter ] are you... okay?

❘ ✸ ›› ??? ‣ #???
❛ NO?? IM BLEEDING!

❘ ✸ ›› ??? ‣ #???
❛ WHAT?!

LIN ZHAOHUI SAT ON THE GROUND AND HELD HIS KNEE AND SAW BLOOD ONCE HE REMOVED IT. . .

❘ ✸ ›› HAN JUNGWOO ‣ #029
❛ look what you did! our maknae is bleeding.

❘ ✸ ›› ALEXANDER KIM ‣ #030
❛ ...how is this my fault.

❘ ✸ ›› HAN JUNGWOO ‣ #029
❛ [ coughs ] um. you look like a tree.

❘ ✸ ›› ALEXANDER KIM ‣ #030
❛ I DO NOT-

❘ ✸ ›› LIN ZHAOHUI ‣ #016
❛ can someone PLEASE help me up?

ZHAOHUI'S VOICE INSTANTLY MADE ALEXANDER AND JUNGWOO RUSH OVER TO HIS AID!

❘ ✸ ›› HAN JUNGWOO ‣ #029
❛ I'm so sorry-

❘ ✸ ›› ALEXANDER KIM ‣ #030
❛ here, get on my back. [ he bends down and allows zhaohui to climb on his back ]

( THEY SAID GIKWANG WAS A SIMP BUT I THINK ZHAOHUI HAS THESE TWO WRAPPED AROUND HIS FINGER. . . )

the three boys eventually make it toward
the door and since he has a free two hands,
jungwoo opens the door and they walk in.

❘ ✸ ›› CHAE SUNGJIN ‣ #010
❛ woah, what happened to him? [ points to zhaohui ]

❘ ✸ ›› CHO SAEBYEOL ‣ #017
❛ it seems like... he hurt himself? I think that might be it.

THE TRIO WALK TOWARD THE SEATS, ALEXANDER LETTING ZHAOHUI DOWN.

❘ ✸ ›› LIN ZHAOHUI ‣ #016
❛ I tripped and fell when we were walking to the door. that's why my knee is... well, bleeding.

❘ ✸ ›› SHIN KITAE ‣ #025
❛ child that cut is bleeding profusely, are you okay.

❘ ✸ ›› LIN ZHAOHUI ‣ #016
❛ [ smiles ] I'll be okay!! thank you for your
concern though.

❛ UM. THAT KID IS BLEEDING?

❘ ✸ ›› SEUNGYEON ‣ VOCAL GUIDE
❛ [ looks over at gikwang ]

❘ ✸ ›› LEE GIKWANG ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ why are you looking at me???

❘ ✸ ›› LEE GIKWANG ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ why would I have a bandaid?

❘ ✸ ›› SOYEON ‣ RAP GUIDE
❛ ....because you're fragile?

❘ ✸ ›› JIWOO ‣ PRESENCE GUIDE
❛ I love the bully gikwang sunbae train. I might board it soon.

❘ ✸ ›› LEE GIKWANG ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ you've BEEN on it what do you mean??? you are literally the train driver.

❘ ✸ ›› SEUNGYEON ‣ VOCAL GUIDE
❛ I think you mean conductor.

❘ ✸ ›› KAI ‣ DANCE GUIDE
❛ you're both wrong but I don't feel like correcting you. it's funny seeing the two oldest ones here bicker over trains.

❘ ✸ ›› JIWOO ‣ PRESENCE GUIDE
❛ [ starts laughing ]

( I THINK JIWOO IS RUBBING OFF ON KAI A LITTLE TOO MUCH... )

❘ ✸ ›› HAN SEYOUNG ‣ #005
❛ [ gasps ] I can't believe you didn't recognize him! I didn't want to say anything but... he's somewhat of a thing in the fashion world.

❘ ✸ ›› JERRIE TRAN ‣ #023
❛ oh cool! [ deadpan but smiles ] I don't keep up with fashion.

❘ ✸ ›› OKAMURA KENZO ‣ #008

THE NEXT SET OF TRAINEES MAKE THEIR JOURNEY THROUGH THE FOREST !

❘ ✸ ›› ??? ‣ #???
❛ I don't like it here.

❘ ✸ ›› ??? ‣ #???
❛ oh you'll be fine. [ laughs before stopping and staring ] is that...

❘ ✸ ›› ??? ‣ #???
❛ a bear?????

WHO ARE THE NEXT TRAINEES TO ARRIVE... AND WILL THEY BE ALRIGHT?

▭ RUNE'S ROOM !
apologies for such a late update. I needed a long overdue break from writing as well as working on really anything, although I would touch this from time to time. I mostly spent my days working or playing minecraft/acnh lol

anyway! the chapter is here and I'm aiming for the next part to be done sometime this weekend if not next week, which means you better be active as the first mission will start once the third chapter is released! there will be a lot to it after you discuss the general things so be prepared to be confused (I hope I explain things good enough) and also a bit intrigued as it's a new approach to my survival shows! when this is released I'll be gearing up to write my social part a diploma (wish me luck!) and afterwards I'll be online to answer any questions and/or read your comments.

next, episode one part three will also reveal the pre-vote rankings and the subsequent top 7, benefits will be revealed then as well. lastly, I will be doing what shan has done before in her shows and will have an after episode corner where trainees can submit photos to be uploaded to the official msr twt account (that's the difference 😭 I'll be using twitter instead of ig)! without further ado, that's all for this long ass note.

love y'all fr 🫶
