[when the video finally stops lagging, it stays black for another few moments before fading to show one of the dorms. a few moments later, it's clear that this was the Love Zone dorm.]

[Yang Aria can be seen walking out from one of the bedrooms, yawning before knocking on the door of another bedroom. a few moments after that, the door opened.]

💬 Yang Aria  | Love Zone trainee, rank #21 :
⠀Sorry if I woke you up but, uh, unnie..?

💬 Lee Bora  | Love Zone trainee, rank #11 :
⠀Yes, honey?

💬 Yang Aria | Love Zone trainee, rank #21 :
⠀I was wondering when you think the others will be up..? It's a bit lonely...

💬 Lee Bora | Love Zone trainee, rank #11 :
⠀Are you the only one up in your room?

💬 Yang Aria | Love Zone trainee, rank #21 :
⠀ Yeah, Mingyue-oppa and Huiyi-unnie are still asleep...  

💬 Lee Bora | Love Zone trainee, rank #11 :
⠀ Then, why don't you come here? Me, Kocho and Rae just finished a game of uno and we were going to play Guess Who now!

💬 Yang Aria | Love Zone trainee, rank #21 :
⠀ Really?!

💬 Lee Bora | Love Zone trainee, rank #11 :
⠀ Of course! Youre oh-so-welcome!

[Bora opened the door wider and Aria, with a giddy smile on her face, walked into the room.]

[The clip sped up and a clock was shown on screen, about twenty minutes after Aria walked through the door to "Bora's room", the Hwang sisters can be seen leaving one of the rooms and entering the kitchen area. They started preparing for breakfast, and when they started cooking other trainees left their bedrooms.]

[Some just stuck their heads out and looked towards the kitchen-noises, whilst others full-on walked out. Those people either joined them in the kitchen and helped with the cooking, just joined them in the kitchen to hang out or walked into the living/dining room area.]

[Daeun was one of the first people to join the sisters in the kitchen. Hyebin, the older one of the sisters, pulled Daeun in for a hug.]

💬 Hwang Hyerim  | Love Zone trainee, #8 :
⠀Good morning sleepyhead! Could you make some omelette? 

💬 Cho Daeun | Love Zone trainee, #13 :
⠀Well good morning to you too! And yes, yes I can!

💬 Cho Daeun | Love Zone trainee, #13 :
⠀... Uh, where are the pans?

[Hyebin, the younger one of the sisters, starts laughing before opening one of the cabinets and handing the younger a pan. the screen then goes on to show the time speeding up again, before settling on the Love Zone trainees eating breakfast. then, it skips once again. 

this time, it slows in to show some of the trainees sitting in the sofas. Oooh, it's all the English speakers of the Love Zone, and they're talking in English!]

💬 Aurora Williams | Love Zone trainee, #17 :
⠀ Who wants to help me dye my hair later? I'm tired of the pink!

💬 Juniper King | Love Zone trainee, #16 :
⠀ But Rori! We wont be matching hair colours if you dye your hair...

💬 Aurora Williams | Love Zone trainee, #17 :
⠀ But Mani! Who's stopping you from also dyeing your hair? 

💬 Juniper King | Love Zone trainee, #16 :
⠀ Okay, okay, valid! What colour do we do then?

💬 Ibuki Makoto | Love Zone trainee, #18 :
⠀ May I suggest orange? Both of yall would look real beaut!

💬 Wendy Hwang | Love Zone trainee, #20 :
⠀ Omg, you totally would!

💬 Aurora Williams | Love Zone trainee, #17 :
⠀ Sounds good to me! Haven't had orange hair yet, so let's go!

💬 Juniper King | Love Zone trainee, #16 :
⠀ Who'll tell staff to buy hair dye for us?

💬 Rebecca Won | Love Zone trainee, #6 :
⠀ I can! Two boxes of orange dye, or?

💬 Juniper King | Love Zone trainee, #16 :
⠀ Mhm!

💬 Rebecca Won | Love Zone trainee, #6 :
⠀ Got it!

[as Rebecca got up and rushed to behind the camera, probably to a door that led to some place with staff, the screen faded into a blue-purple colour before the text "the Love Zone bedrooms" appeared. it first showed up in the middle of the screen, but it quickly moved to the top and the text also got smaller as it moved.

below it, eight rectangles in a colour a bit darker than the background showed up, each one being labeled with "room" and a number for each one.]

[after a few moments the screen faded from  blue-purple to black and, after another few moments, the Friend Zone dorm was shown.]

[Kurokawa Hikari, Jiang Suyin, Luna Li, Blossom Fang and Jo Iseul are sitting by the sofas, playing happy families - that card game where you match up different families of four.]

💬 Kurokawa Hikari | Friend Zone trainee, #30 :
⠀ Rina-unnie, hand over Miss Bun!

💬 Jiang Suyin | Friend Zone trainee, #32 :
⠀ Damn it!

💬 Blossom Fang| Friend Zone trainee, #27 :
⠀ Suyin-ah, d'you have Mr Fern?

💬 Jiang Suyin | Friend Zone trainee, #32 :
⠀ Yes... here....

💬 Luna Li | Friend Zone trainee, #25 :
⠀ Suyin-ah, give me Mrs Pots!

💬 Jiang Suyin | Friend Zone trainee, #32 :
⠀ Hello? Why am I being targeted!

💬 Jo Iseul | Friend Zone trainee, 40 :
⠀ Maybe because we know you have all the good cards! Jinnie, give me Master Bun!

[it then shows Zhong Meiling, Huang Xinyi, Huang Yue and Xiao Liqiu sitting in a differnt room, they're trying to help Li Hui make their Chinese better.]

💬 Xiao Liqiu | Friend Zone trainee, #41 :
⠀ And, okay, when you say "shi" in that context, you say it like "shī", you know?

💬 Li Hui / Lee Sunoo | Friend Zone trainee, #35 :
⠀ Uh... so like shī?

💬 Huang Yue | Friend Zone trainee, #28 :
⠀ Yeah! Pretty much! Okay, wait, try saying... 

[meanwhile, in a Friend Zone training room, Soojin, Roxane, Dabin, Sunhee, Xinyi, Yueqing and Xingqiao are trying to dance Bloom Bloom by The Boyz.]

💬 Kim Sunhee | Friend Zone trainee, #39 :
⠀ Okay, okay, Rini, youre doing that great but, okay, consider doing that move a bit more like boom-boom, you know?

💬 Roxane Lou | Friend Zone trainee, #37 :
⠀ Okay, so like, this?

[Roxane does the "bloom-bloom-pow!" move, and Xingqiao claps wildly at her.]

💬 Xiu Xingqiao | Friend Zone trainee, #34 :
⠀ Yes-yes! Like that unnie!

💬 Zhong Yueqing | Friend Zone trainee, #38 :
⠀ Then should we try again? The chorus?

💬 Yoon Soojin | Friend Zone trainee, #48 :
⠀ Heck yeah!

💬 Cho Dabin | Friend Zone trainee, #36 :
⠀ One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!

[it then shows another few of the Friend Zone trainees. Wei Xiaoyu, Kwon Hyojin, Lee Chungcha, Liu Mingxia and Naomi Park are sitting on the floor of the kitchen. They're making kimchi, or well Naomi and Chungcha are teaching the other three how to make kimchi since they'd never done it before.]

💬 Wei Xiaoyu | Friend Zone trainee, #29 :
⠀ So I cut this open like this...? 

💬 Naomi Sofia Park | Friend Zone trainee, #45 :
⠀ Mhm! Then, according to my grandma, you do... this!

[as Naomi grabs Xiaoyu's hands and picks up - with their hands, not her own - a cabbage, the screen faded into a blue-purple colour before the text "the Friend Zone bedrooms" appeared. it first showed up in the middle of the screen, but it quickly moved to the top and the text also got smaller as it moved.]

[below it, eight rectangles in a colour a bit darker than the background showed up, each one being labeled with "room" and a number for each one.]

[a short clip of the trainees performing Love Bomb - the signal song - shows on screen, 

then the screen fades to black before showing a still image of the cast, with IU in the middle and the name of the survival show - 심쿵, with the english title, CRUSH, in a little smaller font underneath it - written in big letters above the cast.]
