❛ we won?

❘ ✸ ›› CHO KIHA ‣ LAST FLOWER
❛ and with... all mentor votes too...

❘ ✸ ›› LIN ZHAOHUI ‣ LAST FLOWER

❘ ✸ ›› KIM YOONGI ‣ LAST FLOWER
❛ you did so well, zhaohui! your hard work paid off.

❘ ✸ ›› GONGCHAN ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ as the night is now over, you boys may head back to your buildings. tomorrow will be a rough day, so I urge you to rest well. I wish you all the upmost luck. have a good night!

AS GONGCHAN EXITS THE STAGE, THE TRAINEES EVENTUALLY FILTER OUT AS WELL.

TOMORROW MARKS THE START OF THE RANKING ANNOUNCEMENT. . .

. . . WHO WILL SURVIVE INTO THE NEXT ROUND?

NEXT ON MY SUGAR-RUSH!

THE RANKING ANNOUNCEMENT BEGINS.

❘ ✸ ›› LEE GIKWANG ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ we will begin by announcing the trainees ranking from ranks 16 to 8th.

❘ ✸ ›› GONGCHAN ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ the trainee who placed first this round....

❘ ✸ ›› GONGCHAN ‣ GAME MASTER
❛ is [ REDACTED ]

AND AFTER THE RANKING ANNOUNCEMENT...

...A NEW TWIST ARISES AMONG THE NEXT MISSION?

❘ ✸ ›› ??? ‣ ???
❛ I was originally casted for the show, but, I ended up not being able to participate. since [ REDACTED ] asked to leave the show, a spot opened up and since staff need to keep the show at an even number, they asked if I could replace them.

❘ ✸ ›› ??? ‣ ???
❛ it feels rather... unfortunate. it feels like I'm trampling over the hard work the remaining and eliminated trainees did to get there. I just hope they accept me even if I'm joining in later.

HOW WILL THE NEXT MISSION PAN OUT ?

▭ RUNE'S ROOM !
I won't lie. this episode... even if not very interesting content wise, was so, so hard to get out. partly because I was busy with work, figuring out uni stuff, travelling, my other works, etc. but the vast majority was due to trainees leaving. I don't blame anyone for leaving, especially if it was mutual between myself and the user. another... rather vague reason this episode took longer was an altercation that occurred on wp around a month or so ago that resulted in a trainee leaving without notice and eventually blocking me as well. if you know what happened, please do not speak on it as it is now water under the bridge.

the next two episodes will be the ranking announcement! I can't wait for it to be revealed as I think the ranks changing so vastly from the pre-vote is interesting, truly. afterwards, the next mission will start! I'm so excited honestly.

ps. if you know who's being added to the show, no u don't.

love you all, seriously.
