The four groups are filtering into
a large practice room with four
seats set up at the front

WHAT ARE THEY DOING HERE?

LEE HANEUL [ 1 ☆ ACE ] ; oh ho ho, so we meet again?

AUDREY STEWART [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; what do you mean? we ate dinner last night?

LEE HANEUL [ 1 ☆ ACE ] ; come on audrey~ i'm trying to be dramatic and have some fun [pouts]

AUDREY STEWART [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; oops sorry

WELL, THAT CONVERSATION
DIDN'T TELL YOU ANYTHING...

MAYBE THIS ONE WILL..?

MIN SUHO [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; we're going to pummel you into a little tiny pancake, kai

SEO KAIRO [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; [cracks his knuckles and tries to hide the wince he makes]

SEO KAIRO [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; well, we won't go down without a fight suho

MOON SEONGMIN [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; i think you guys are being a bit too extreme...

YOON SOOYOUNG [ 1 ☆ ACE ] ; can you guys not pummel each other..?

AH YES, TODAY IS THE DAY
WE SEE KAIRO AND SUHO
GET IN A RING AND FIGHT

WE ARE JOKING! OUR SHOW
DOESN'T CONDONE VIOLENCE

HOWEVER, WE DO CONDONE A
LITTLE FRIENDLY COMPETITION

SEOL YERIM [ 1 ☆ ACE ] ; only one of you can win, but i wish you guys good luck

MIN SOOYUN [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; oh! i wish you good luck too unnie!

BIN SEOHYANG [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; [nervous] yes, good luck

JEONG AURAE [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; [smiles] good lu-

JEONG AURAE [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; wait a minute- DID YOU JUST SAY ONE?!

SEOL YERIM [ 1 ☆ ACE ] ; hm... did i?

TODAY IS THE FINAL EVALUATION
OF THE GROUPS TO DECIDE WHO
WILL BE PERFORMING ON STAGE

SO WITHOUT FURTHER
ADO, LET'S BEGIN!

LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; [bows her head slightly as she enters] good morning everyone

LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; did everyone sleep well?

lily is the first mentor to enter,
followed immediately by the other
four and she decided to fill the sudden
silence that occurred due to their entry

while most trainees gave some
form of yes, one trainee was
heard giving a different answer

KANG JAEHYUK [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; i wish...

LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; [starts to take her seat while her eyes find the voice's owner]

LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; well then, should we let you guys perform first so you can go get more sleep?

HEO JUNGJIN [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; [tries to be discreate while opening his mouth to mutter to jaehyuk] don't talk so loud hyuk

LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; jungjin, haven't we discussed already that you aren't so quiet yourself?

HEO JUNGJIN [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; ...

WHAT IS SHE TALKING ABOUT...

A FEW DAYS AGO AT
HEARTS' MID-EVALUATION

BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; with the basis of your group i expected this song to be easy for you guys

BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; but considering i couldn't even enjoy it based on energy alone, i must've overestimated you guys

BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; sooyun, you're the leader, right?

MIN SOOYUN [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; [nods with her hands behind her back] yes

BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; may i ask how you've been practicing?

MIN SOOYUN [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; we've been doing group dance practices and working on our lines individually

LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; oh no wonder your vocals were so unstable

LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; i assume you haven't danced and sang yet?

MIN SOOYUN [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; [hesitates] we have...

LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; [surprised] oh, i see [takes notes]

JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; while most of you have at least mediocre dancing ability, so i was hoping you'd be able to catch more of the details

JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; but your performance felt like it was always missing something

JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; and despite all of you falling into the charismatic category, it almost feels as if you've lost your spark

ultimately, their 1st evaluation
ended with almost entirely negative
feedback, but it seems not everyone
was so upset about this?

HEO JUNGJIN [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; considering we haven't finished practicing, it wasn't a bad evaluation

HEO JUNGJIN [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; like we need to work on it, but we have plenty of time~

LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; [coughs from behind him]

LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; i wouldn't say you guys have enough time to fix everything

LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; especially if you're out here bragging about how much time you have

silence

HEO JUNGJIN [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; [stiffens] yes ma'am

RETURNING BACK TO
THE PRESENT TIME

HEO JUNGJIN [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; technically... you talked to me about bragging...

LEE NAYEON [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; jungjin, please stop talking...

LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; hm... i guess you're right

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; sorry to break up this content for the editors to eat up

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; but we have a schedule to adhere to

KANG JAEHYUK [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; [tries to whisper] since when did you care about schedules?

...

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; okay, we can start with hearts then

KWON YIJAE [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; [in disbelief] do we have to zipper your mouths close or something?

WELL EVEN IF THEY DIDN'T
WANT TO BE EVALUATED FIRST,
THAT'S IN FACT WHAT HAPPENED

BUT UNLIKE NORMAL THEY
DIDN' T RECIEVE FEEDBACK
IMMEDIATELY, INSTEAD THE
MENTORS JUST TOOK NOTES

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; thank you! [sickeningly sweet smile]

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; you can go rest off to the side now

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; okay, shall we have spades go next?

AH YES, THE GROUP WITH THE
HIGHEST EXPECTATIONS...

⋆✧⋆

BAE JEONGHOON [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; if we're being honest here... it's really just a competition between us, hearts, and clubs for the second part on stage

BAE JEONGHOON [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; cause are spades really going to fail?

JI YUJUN [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; even with the stress, isn't being in spades an easy win?

LEE NAYEON [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; they named themselves 'ACE'! that's reason enough to expect a lot!

⋆✧⋆

BUT WHAT HAPPENED DURING
THEIR MID-EVALUATION?

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; this is unprofessional of me, but since I can't give much insight otherwise

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; can i just say i didn't enjoy it?

...

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; it feels as if they're zombies just going through the motions, but isn't this song supposed to be bright?

JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; you're not wrong and that opinion is exactly what they need to hear

JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; [clears throat] it's important to get the proper response from the audience

JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; especially when this performance will be used to promote the show

JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; you guys don't have major issues in the foundation of your dance and i assume your vocals too

JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; considering lily didn't cut me off just now

JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; and you'll be able to fix any imperfections in that area by the time we see you again

JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; but if you don't fix your expressions, your energy, or your stage presence in general

JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; I can assure you that it won't be any surprise when you lose to groups that are entertaining to watch

JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; no matter their skill level

JUST LIKE HEARTS, THEY
RECEIVED A NEGATIVE REVIEW

BUT IS IT JUST ME OR DOES
IT FEEL LIKE AN EASIER FIX?

without much interaction between
the mentors and ACE, they finish their
performance and move back to their seats

IF ACE HAD HIGH EXPECTATIONS,
WHO HAD LOW EXPECTATIONS?

⋆✧⋆

KAWAHARA KEI [ 1 ☆ ACE] ; not to be rude or anything, but do we even think clubs has a shot?

SEO RYEON [ 1 ☆ ACE ] ; i want to root for them but... haven't you seen their performances

AUDREY STEWART [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; realistically, spades has the highest shot and clubs has the lowest shot

AUDREY STEWART [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; didn't the producers already expect that when creating these groups?

⋆✧⋆

WE CAN'T SAY THESE THOUGHTS
WILL BE PROVEN TRUE BUT
WE CAN LOOK AT WHAT WAS
SAID AT THEIR MID-EVALUATION

BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; [begins clapping]

4-LEAF-CLOVER ; [confused]

BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; i'm surprised you guys were able to come in here and perform anything

LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; [speaks in warning tone] hanwool.

LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; don't tear them down to such a low level

LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; i'd say they are the most hardworking and determined group

yeah, lily doesn't know about
that whole dropout suggestion...

LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; so their performance isn't unexpected

⋆✧⋆

TRAINEE INTERVIEW

JI YUJUN [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; my love, my queen, lily suh

MO HOYEON [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; this is my formal apology for saying lily scares me...

⋆✧⋆

LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; yet, i wouldn't say it was good...

LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; most of it, on the audio side of things, was pitchy and unstable

LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; the breath work has seen some improvement on an individual scale, but when you come together and for longer periods of time, it gets worse

LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; however, i am pleasantly surprised by a few of you based on your improvement since i last saw you

BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; i can't give such an insightful review, but i can say that if you continue working on your rapping skills, it won't be intolerable

JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; you guys are making me look bad, i was about to give a half hour list of things to work on

JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; [coughs] i still will, but for now, you guys still don't entirely have the dance memorized and i can tell you're breaking at the seams

JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; the floorwork is atrocious, among other things

JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; but as something i expected, i hope you are able to focus time towards it along with everything else

AND YES, JUHYUK DID TALK TO
THEM AFTERWARDS, HE EVEN
STAYED LONGER TO HELP THEM
WITH THEIR PERFORMANCE

BECAUSE WHAT DO YOU
KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE
ROOT FOR THE UNDERDOG

BUT, WHO ROOTS FOR
THOSE IN THE MIDDLE?

⋆✧⋆

TRAINEE INTERVIEW

SEVYN LEE [ 1 ☆ ACE ] ; other than my own, what team do i root for?

SEVYN LEE [ 1 ☆ ACE ] ; hm... i think i'd say clubs?

SEVYN LEE [ 1 ☆ ACE ] ; it'd be interesting if the 'weakest' team makes it to the top

ANN KIM [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; i think i'd be proud of myself even more if spades also makes it to the stage

ANN KIM [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; because it'd mean i made it to the stage without the top team messing up

MOON SEONGMIN [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; who wouldn't want to perform with spades?

MOON SEONGMIN [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; or would it just mean your competition is harder?

DOES ANYONE ROOT FOR
THOSE IN THE MIDDLE...?

JEONG AURAE [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; for what it's worth, i think hearts is too bright a team to be off stage for this mission

SEO KAIRO [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; i want to perform on stage with diamonds, even if we aren't technically together

⋆✧⋆

I GUESS THERE ARE A FEW...
WELL SINCE WE'VE ALREADY
LOOKED AT HEARTS

LET'S LOOK AT THE FINAL
GROUP'S MID EVALUATION

LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; hm...

LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; i didn't realize i had no expectations for you guys until you came in here and performed

JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; ah, i can't say the same, they seem to still be struggling to individually stand out

JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; but group wise they did very well with the dance

JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; except for a few timing issues that i believe would be easy to fix with more practice

BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; yet none of them stood out

BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; it'd be better for them to focus on that instead because if they fail to catch my interest next time

BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; they likely won't make it

LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; i'd like to add on that some more tuning needs to be done with your vocals and at points they are too monotone to be completely enjoyable

IN PRESENT TIME, ALL FOUR
GROUPS HAVE PERFORMED IN
THE FIANL EVALUATION AND IT
IS NOW TIME FOR THEM TO
WAIT FOR THE RESULTS

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; welcome back everyone!

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; did you have a fun time in your voting booths?

PARK ROSE [ 1 ☆ ACE ] ; in what...?

HAK SEUNGJUN [ 1 ☆ ACE] ; oh, so it was that

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; [chuckles] i'm joking!

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; anyway! are you guys ready to hear your mentors' thoughts?

there are some positive responses
but there's also a large wave
of nervousness

WHICH GROUP IMPROVED
ENOUGH SINCE THEIR
MID EVALUATION?

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; our first group was initially told that they performed with no spirit, no presence

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; but due to hard work and their fundamentals, they gave a very enjoyable performance today

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; so, without further ado...

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; congratulations to ACE for making it onto the stage!

while most of the trainees in the
other groups either stay quiet
or congratulate the group,
ACE themselves erupt in cheers

after all their internal issues being
fixed with a box of brownies, they
were able to properly finish out
their performance even if one
can't say it was perfect.

YOON SOOYOUNG [ 2 ☆ ACE ] ; [teary eyed] i can't believe it

MIN SOOYUN [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; SOOYOUNG CONGRATS

YOON SOOYOUNG [ 2 ☆ ACE ] ; [pouts] don't congratulate me yet!

YOON SOOYOUNG [ 2 ☆ ACE ] ; not until your group gets called!

SEOL YERIM [ 2 ☆ ACE ] ; what did i tell you guys?

SEVYN LEE [ 2 ☆ ACE ] ; that you'd pull some strings

SEOL YERIM [ 2 ☆ ACE ] ; when did i say that?

SEOL YERIM [ 2 ☆ ACE ] ; i meant that we'd actually pull it off

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; have i left enough time? [looks around, patiently waiting for the voices to stop]

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; the next group i'm announcing surprised us all by the fact that their performance was complete

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; it was enjoyable and made us all proud, which is why...

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; i'm sorry to say that 4-Leaf-Clover hasn't been chosen to perform on stage

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; because although you put together a performance you all should be proud of, there were too many things lacking in the performance to let you go on stage this week

this mission has proven not to be one
for the underdog, but it can be said
that this is a better outcome than
the one if they had dropped out

unlike the cheers from earlier,
it feels as if the group has just been
swallowed up by sadness and pity

LEE HANEUL [ 2 ☆ ACE ] ; i'm sorry guys...

LEE HANEUL [ 2 ☆ ACE ] ; [smiles] but your performance wasn't bad!

KIAN HWANG [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; ...

KIAN HWANG [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; yeah, but i can't say i'll even have the chance to prepare a better one

MO HOYEON [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; sorry, guys i let a slip distract me earlier...

JI YUJUN [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; hey don't sweat it

JI YUJUN [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; i can assure you that i made plenty more mistakes

SEO KAIRO [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; same, i probably looked like a dancing noodle

JI YUJUN [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; a handsome dancing noodle

ANN KIM [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; are you guys hungry or something? why are you talking about noodles when it looked like i threw up some on that floor

JI YUJUN [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; ann, i think you're seeing things

4-LEAF-CLOVER MIGHT'VE
LOST BUT AT LEAST THEY GOT
NOODLES TO THINK ABOUT...

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; i'll be announcing the last two immediately

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; this group hasn't had many issues as a team, rather every evaluation they seem to come closer together

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; yet they have continuously been unable to find their own spark

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; and due to this, DIAMOND is the other group that has failed to make it to the stage

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; Which, by process of elimination, leaves HEARTBEAT as our other winning group!

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; giving us a performance today that had fixed almost everything we had asked of you and had left us hiding smiles

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; this decision was an easy one

THE LAST TWO
ANNOUNCEMENTS LEFT
THE ROOM A MIX OF
SAD AND HAPPY

JEONG AURAE [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; [sighs] we didn't sparkle sparkle

DO DAEWON [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; [sighs] and the group we lost to did sparkle sparkle

SHIN KYUHYUN [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; what..?

MIN SUHO [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; [eating fruit snacks] they're depressed

BAEK SOORAM [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; where did you get fruit snacks?

MIN SUHO [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; [waving one in front of aurae's face] do you think these will cure them?

BAE JEONGHOON [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; what the f*** are you on?

what? do you want some?

AUDREY STEWART [ 2 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; this seems a little too predictable...

HEO JUNGJIN [ 2 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; who cares? the proof is in the pudding

AUDREY STEWART [ 2 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; the what?

KANG JAEHYUK [ 2 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; GUYS WE GET TO ACTUALLY SURVIVE ANOTHER DAY

LEE NAYEON [ 2 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; what he said!!

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; hm? what you saying over there jaehyuk?

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; i never said i was done yet [rolls eyes]

WHAT IS LEFT?

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; i still have to reveal who doesn't get a star from Heartbeat and ACE

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; because as they say, nothing in life is fair and this isn't an exception

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; oh wait [chuckles] it is an exception isn't it?

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; because i think i left off an important detail when explaining this mission to you

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; you remember how i said one or two trainees on the winning team wouldn't get a star, right?

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; well, guess who gets to take their lost star

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; a trainee or two from the losing teams!

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; because some of you worked so hard that we'd like to reward you!

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; yet, we haven't made all of these decisions alone...

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; as for trainees not receiving a star,

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; rosalia and haneul in ACE won't be receiving a star

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; along with sol and yijae in Heartbeat

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; but speaking of heartbeats, we have some new videos regarding those now receiving a star and some just for extra positivity!

⋆✧⋆

CLIPS FROM THE JOKED
ABOUT "voting period"

STAFF ; what member do you think
should receive a star no matter what?

[ ANSWERS FROM ACE ]

SEVYN LEE [ 2 ☆ ACE ] ; I feel like Ryeon should definitely get a star! so happy I was able to meet another Insomnia here

HAK SEUNGJUN [ 2 ☆ ACE] ; hm? i think... sooyoung? maybe? she's nice and honestly i think she's pretty good too!! ryeon too... and kei! and- hm, i think all of them are good if i'm going to be honest...

YOON SOOYOUNG [ 2 ☆ ACE ] ; our center sevyn! <3

SEO RYEON [ 2 ☆ ACE ] ; rose! she's way too sweet not get a star for her effort

[ ANSWERS FROM HEARTBEAT ]

LEE NAYEON [ 2 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; I was between Audrey or Sooyun but I chose Audrey because she worked hard to be our center and I think she's pretty skilled!

AUDREY STEWART [ 2 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; me obviously! [laughs] but actually, our leader sooyun! <3

AUDREY STEWART [ 2 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; i don't think any of us wouldn't say her name

HEO JUNGJIN [ 2 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; if anyone should, it should be our leader sooyun because not only is she a great leader, she also can match me in karaoke!

MOON SEONGMIN [ 2 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; our leader sooyun! she was a great leader and it helped our team prepare smoothly!

{ fun fact! sooyun got rated a 5
by everyone in the group and
had the highest amount of
5s out of everyone }

THESE WERE THE WORDS
FOR THE TEAMS ALREADY
SAFE, BUT WHAT ABOUT
THE ONES THAT AREN'T?

[ ANSWERS FROM DIAMOND ]

SHIN KYUHYUN [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; I think everyone was pretty good... but Daewon really helped with my dancing, so I would say him

JEONG AURAE [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; Kyuhyun! He was very active, and overall a really good team member, so is suho. Their nice people to be around, everyone is nice people to be around actually— but i'm going to have to say kyuhyun, suho, or.. maybe even me?

BAE JEONGHOON [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; i think i should get a star myself, but i can't pick myself, so i think kyuhyun should get a star.

MIN SUHO [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; kyuhyun and aurae!

[ ANSWERS FROM 4-LEAF-CLOVER ]

JI YUJUN [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; me myself and i

JI YUJUN [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; pretty please

SEO KAIRO [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; hoyeon! Or yujun! They were both very helpfull during the mission— oo but kian did step up and teach me how to dance so maybe him? Or— i think as the bottom of the barrel team we all did really well, and doesn't that make us all deserve a star? I mean look at us—

MO HOYEON [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; kian, he's really good at dancing and engages with everyone. he even helped kairo out in our dances and gave me pointers every once in a while. he's talented and reliable. i think he deserves it.

BIN SEOHYANG [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; I honestly think Yujun should get a star, he's done really well this mission! To be quite honest, I think all of them actually deserve a star...

ANN KIM [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; seohyang as our leader should get the award because she carried our teams so well, and i learned a lot from her

KIAN HWANG [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; kairo's stage presence and charisma should definitely earn him the star.

REASONABLY THIS
ISN'T VERY HELPFUL
- me

{ i wheel decided for 4-leaf-clover
no lie because it was a tie *sweats* }

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; and with some input from the mentors, we have decided on 2 trainees to also gain a star

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; and they are kyuhyun and yujun! congrats!

SHIN KYUHYUN [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; [points at himself in disbelief] me?

Kyuhyun can't believe it while
yujun is over here spouting joy

JI YUJUN [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS [extends his arms] GROUP HUG?

ANN KIM [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; that doesn't seem like a fitting arrangement...

SEO KAIRO [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; oh come on anni, at least we know one of us makes it

with some reluctance 4-leaf clover
comes together in a group hug

JEONG AURAE [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; [watching them] GUYS WE ALSO HAVE TO HUG

JEONG AURAE [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; TO ASSERT DOMINANCE

BAE JEONGHOON [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; we are both the losing teams... what dominance are you talking about?

no matter what questionable words were just
said, they still end up in a group hug as well

which is also where the
screen completely cuts out...

IN THE DARK SCREEN YOU
CAN PEER INTO YOUR SOUL!

OH WAIT! IS THAT LIGHT?!

the darkness slowly clears away to
reveal a stage set up for misun alone

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; good evening citizens !

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; it's my honor to welcome you to my empty stage!

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; [pretends like she hears a question] hm? you're wondering why it's empty?

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; well all our groups have already performed and sadly this stage will have to wait until next mission to be used

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; [cups one side of her mouth] if you'd like to attend the live audience for that, registration is now open

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; [coughs] then why am I here now?

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; to showcase what you might've missed! silly~

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; the videos of all the performances will be shared today, along with our special center competition!

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; so make sure to watch carefully and be sure to choose your favorite performance !

the camera then zooms out from misun's
face and into the screen behind her,
where a video began playing until it's
just the footage cut over to in editing

the video is unfocused on the columns of
a wall, only the audio coming out clearly

SEO KAIRO [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; are we actually not going on stage?

SEO KAIRO [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; because it really feels like we are

the camera moves to focus on the
group at hand preparing for their
dance practice video

if you didn't know better, you'd in
fact think they were going on stage
because their hair, makeup, and
their outfits were all done to
be performance ready

MO HOYEON [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; [fixing his sleeve] we spent so long getting ready

MO HOYEON [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; yet we're still just performing in our own practice room?

MO HOYEON [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; [in disbelief] couldn't we have done that it sweats?

ANN KIM [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; [shakes her head] we couldn't do that because then there would be no chance for us to have a comeback story

JI YUJUN [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; yeah! you think anyone would vote for a measly practice room video if we didn't act like it was a full-on performance?

KIAN HWANG [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; i think it'd depend on if we have fans or not..

KIAN HWANG [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; since that's how it normally is right?

uh...

MO HOYEON [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; [sighs] we're done for...

MO HOYEON [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; and to think i was enjoying the free food

BIN SEOHYANG [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; what? we haven't lost yet...?

SEO KAIRO [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; why did we practice if you were going to give up this easily..?

MO HOYEON [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; [frowns] this isn't me giving up, it's me facing reality

JI YUJUN [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; shush, nothing's set in stone yet

JI YUJUN [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; we still have a chance!

ANN KIM [ 1 ☆ 4-leaf-clover ] ; not to be a downer but don't you alr-

STAFF ; are you ready to record?

what a point to get cut off... will
4-leaf-clover's video turn out well
after this conversation's energy?

4-LEAF-CLOVER ; Wish us luck, we need it. We are 4-leaf clover!

following the instructions of the producers,
the group opened up their video with a
team greeting, which was then followed immediately by their performance

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

KIAN as GO_U [ all white outfit ]

YUJUN as JINHWA [ blue striped shirt ]

KAIRO as CHRIS [ white shirt, black pants ]

ANN as JUHAN [ all blue outfit w/green in hair ]

4-LEAF-CLOVER'S CENTER

SEO KAIRO

once 'WILL MAKE A MISTAKE' fades
out, the video immediately switches,
catching another group all put together
but without a stage to go on

JANG GYEONG [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; i don't know if you guys agree, but i think we look better than what ACE & Heartbeat looked yesterday!

JEONG AURAE [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; that's because we have the best visuals!

BAE JEONGHOON [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; do we though?

JEONG AURAE [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; jeonghoon, i'm trying to up our morale

JEONG AURAE [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; keep up please

BAE JEONGHOON [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; ...okay?

aurae dramatically does a clap

JEONG AURAE [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; now children, we practiced for this!

JEONG AURAE [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; even if it's not on stage, we have to give it our all! [holds up two fists]

DO DAEWON [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; how are we your children? 3 of us are older than you?

JEONG AURAE [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; [frustrated] it's an expression

DO DAEWON [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; well, i've never heard of it

MIN SUHO [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; [stretching] guys, do you think we would've gotten pity points if i had a broken leg?

MIN SUHO [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; and we would've actually been able to perform on stage?

BAEK SOORAM [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; you shouldn't purposely break your leg...

JEONG AURAE [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; i second that.

JEONG AURAE [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; also there's no need to focus on that, there's no changing our results now

JEONG AURAE [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; all we can do now is do well with this video

MIN SUHO [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; i know that! but... the teams were really cool on stage yesterday

DO DAEWON [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; how do you even know that? their stages haven't even aired yet

JANG GYEONG [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; oh! we went and watched their performances!

MIN SUHO [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; yeah! gyeong, kyuhyun, and i went and pretended to be a group to get backstage!

they attempted this, but not
successfully, lucky for them the
staff knew who they were [cries]

BAEK SOORAM [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; [slight shock] with kyuhyun?

SHIN KYUHYUN [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; [has been tying and re-tying his shoe for the last few minutes]

SHIN KYUHYUN [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; [looks up] are we recording now...?

yes, i guess you are..?

HEO JUNGJIN [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; this is abuse

AUDREY STEWART [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; [blinks] you asked for it?

MIN SOOYUN [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; jungjin don't yell here

MIN SOOYUN [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; you'll disrupt the others

KWON YIJAE [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; and probably cause a scandal if someone hears you

MOON SEONGMIN [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; but aren't they already going to hear it

MOON SEONGMIN [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; [points at the camera] we're already being filmed here

KANG JAEHYUK [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; i think that's the scandal

KANG JAEHYUK [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; [makes hand movements in the sky] "mnet makes the street casted trainees pay for water"

MIN SOOYUN [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; jae, don't give them any ideas...

MIN SOOYUN [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; [faces the camera] we are provided with water, don't worry

AUDREY STEWART [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; should we stop them..?

KWON YIJAE [ 1 ☆ Heartbeat ] ; i mean at least they're being quiet now..?

[ QUESTIONS ]

[ A/N ]

i wanted to give some details on the
decisions made for this episode in
order for it not to just seem like
i'm playing favorites or something.

to start off, the winning groups were
chosen based on the average of
your groups scores on the 'quiz' :

there were 5 people who didn't fill
out the form and from there being
2 numbers for spades & diamonds,
you can see i was trying to decide
which number would be fairer to use.
however, since either number still
ends up giving the same result, it
didn't matter in the end and we
have our final top 2 and bottom 2

for the no stars, it was a matter of
me taking form suggestions
and activity ratings.

also don't worry too much because
due to users leaving there aren't too many
trainees actually getting eliminated
