[ HEECHUL (H.) ] : Can the #1 trainee, IM HEIRAN come forward?

im heiran walks up to beside heechul!

[ HEECHUL (H.) ] : Have you already decided which concept you want?

[ #01 | IM HEIRAN ] : I’m not too sure yet, but I have a rough idea!

[ HEECHUL (H.) ] : Okay! You may walk behind that partition and make your choice.

[ #02 | HORIKOSHI KAISARA ] : I’m sure she’s going to slay any concept!

━ [ SELECTION ROOM ] ━

FOUR TYPES OF CARDS ARE PLACED
ON THE TABLE IN FRONT OF HER!

[ #01 | IM HEIRAN ] : Ahh… how am I going to decide? Should I go for this one?

HEIRAN REACHES FOR THE
“DARK & MYSTERIOUS”
CONCEPT CARD!

━━━━━━━━━━━━

[ HEECHUL (H.) ] : I’m sure a lot of you are curious what she chose! Can the next trainee, HORIKOSHI KAISARA come up?

[ HEECHUL (H.) ] : If you pick the same concept as Trainee Im Heiran, there might be a lot of competition! Are you going to avoid that?

[ #02 | HORIKOSHI KAISARA ] : Hmm I don’t know, but I think I’ve already decided which concept I hope for! And competition aside, it would be great if I can work with my friend Dahyun in this mission as well!

[ HEECHUL (H.) ] : That’s nice! Would you like to whisper in my ear which concept you’re going to choose?

HOSHI WHISPERS SOMETHING
INTO HEECHUL’S EAR!

[ HEECHUL (H.) ] : Interesting! You may now proceed and make your choice! Can Trainee Lee Dahyun come up next?

DAHYUN STEPS FORWARD!

[ HEECHUL (H.) ] : Earlier on, Trainee Horikoshi Kaisara said that she’d hope to work with you again! Do you feel the same way?

[ #03 | LEE DAHYUN ] : Of course! We worked so well the previous mission, it would be nice! However, this time, choosing the same concept means that even though we’ll be doing a photoshoot together, we’ll have to compete against each other… and I don’t want that!

[ HEECHUL (H.) ] : That’s true! What concept do you think she’s going to choose?

[ #03 | LEE DAHYUN (H.) ] : It’s hard to say! You said it was “interesting”, but all the concepts are rather unique! Maybe it’s something unexpected? She was the center for Whatta Man and she did so well, but she’s also super cute so I wouldn’t be surprised if she chose a cuter concept! I think she’d do well in anything.

[ HEECHUL (H.) ] : It’s so nice to see that you guys are so supportive of each other! You can go in and make your choice, best of luck!

━ [ SELECTION ROOM ] ━

[ #03 | LEE DAHYUN ] : Hmm, I think this concept suits me really well! I feel like Heiran-unnie might have chosen this concept… ah, whatever!

LEE DAHYUN'S CHOICE :
DARK & MYSTERIOUS !

[ #03 | LEE DAHYUN ] : I did pretty well for Whatta Man in the previous mission, so I’m going to establish that I’m good at dark concepts!

DAHYUN WALKS INTO THE
WAITING ROOM, WHERE
SHE MEETS THE OTHER
TWO GIRLS WHO HAVE CHOSEN
THEIR CONCEPTS…

SHALL WE FIND OUT
WHAT THEY CHOSE?

[ #03 | LEE DAHYUN ] : Oh? Heiran-unnie, I didn’t expect that! I thought we might have chosen the same concept [ laughs ]

DID HEIRAN NOT CHOOSE THE
DARK & MYSTERIOUS CONCEPT?

WHAT CARD IS SHE HOLDING?

IM HEIRAN'S CHOICE :
ELEGANT !

━ [ interview room ] ━

[ #01 | IM HEIRAN ] : I was going to choose the dark & mysterious concept, but I realised I have an elegant side as well, especially in my dancing! I like to try new things and take risks, so I picked the elegant concept [ smiles ]

━━━━━━━━━━━━

WHAT’S HOSHI’S CARD?

HORIKOSHI KAISARA'S CHOICE :
RETRO !

[ #03 | LEE DAHYUN ] : Woah, I’d love to see you do that concept!

[ #02 | HORIKOSHI KAISARA ] : It’s such an underrated concept, so beautiful and unique!

━ [ interview room ] ━

[ #02 | HORIKOSHI KAISARA ] : I wanted to challenge myself with this concept, because I don’t want to just be labelled “cute” or “sexy” - there’s so much more to girls than just that!

━━━━━━━━━━━━

ALL THREE GIRLS ARE IN 
DIFFERENT CONCEPTS
SO FAR…

[ #03 | LEE DAHYUN ] : Ah well, I’m glad we don’t have to compete with each other at least!

[ #02 | HORIKOSHI KAISARA ] : That’s true!

[ #01 | IM HEIRAN ] : I wonder what the next person’s going to pick! It’s Jiyeon right?

[ #02 | HORIKOSHI KAISARA ] : Yep! She’s so young and cute, maybe she’ll choose the schoolgirl one? That would mean we’d be evenly split [ laughs ]

AT THAT MOMENT,
JIYEON WALKS IN!

DID SHE PICK THE 
SCHOOLGIRL CONCEPT,
JUST AS HOSHI
PREDICTED…?

[ #04 | CHOI JIYEON ] : Oh? Hoshi-unnie!

JIYEON CHOSE THE RETRO
CONCEPT AS WELL!

[ #01 | IM HEIRAN ] : Woah, I didn’t really expect that!

SPOTS START TO FILL UP…

[ #05 | ELSIE QUINN ] : This is my favourite concept, plus I did a cute concept the last time, so I want to show this side of me!

[ #06 | NA HANEUL ] : Others probably think I’ll go for a dark concept, but I want to try something new!

[ #09 | IM YESEUL ] : I’m more confident with this concept since I’ve had more experience with it!

[ #10 | BAE BOYEON ] : Once I saw the retro concept, I knew it was mine! It has always been my favourite concept and it’s my strongest point, I was really hoping to do this concept!

[ #11 | SEO AHYOUNG ] : I usually do cute concepts, but this time I want to try something new!

[ #01 | IM HEIRAN ] : Wait a minute… what’s with this pattern?

TRAINEES SEEM TO BE
ALTERNATING BETWEEN
THE TWO CONCEPTS…

[ #08 | SHIM SEOHYUN ] : I never expected the retro concept to be so popular!

[ #04 | CHOI JIYEON ] : Should I have chosen the schoolgirl concept instead? [ laughs ]

THERE’S STILL NO ONE UNDER
THE SCHOOLGIRL CONCEPT…

[ #01 | IM HEIRAN ] : I mean, lack of competition is technically a good thing…

[ #01 | IM HEIRAN ] : But I’m so lonely here. [ pouts ]

AT THAT MOMENT...

[ #12 | ASUKI TAKARI ] : Hello!

[ #01 | IM HEIRAN ] : YES! Welcome~

LEE AERIM JOINS HEIRAN
UNDER THE ELEGANT CONCEPT!

[ #012 | ASUKI TAKARI ] : I think people expect me to do something cute, so I decided to try something slightly different!

TRAINEE HEO HAEIN JOINS

THEM RIGHT AFTER AS WELL!

JUST THEN, TRAINEE 
HAN CHAERI ENTERS -

[ #09 | IM YESEUL ] : Ohh, she looks like she could suit a lot of concepts! Elegant? Dark? Maybe even retro?

WHAT DID SHE PICK?

TRAINEE HAN CHAERI,
THE FIRST ONE WHO PICKED
THE SCHOOLGIRL CONCEPT!

[ #14 | HAN CHAERI ] : Eh? I’m the first one here? More than half the trainees have chosen already [ laughs ]

JUST THEN, TRAINEE 
HAN SEOLJI JOINS!

[ #15 | HAN SEOLJI ] : Is it just the two of us? That’s unexpected!

━━━━━━━━━━━━

BACK TO THE TRAINEES WHO ARE
STILL WAITING FOR THEIR TURN…

[ HEECHUL (H.) ] : Two of the concepts only have one spot left! Will they close soon? Trainee Lee Aerim, you’re up next!

━ [ SELECTION ROOM ] ━

[ #16 | LEE AERIM ] : Ahh this is difficult! If I choose one of those that only have 1 spot left, I’m most likely to be the least popular in the team…

[ #16 | LEE AERIM ] : Well, I’ll pick this one! I usually do cute or dark concepts, so I think this will be a new way for me to branch out without stepping too far from my comfort zone!

━━━━━━━━━━━

MORE SPOTS FILL UP...

[ HEECHUL (H.) ] : Now we have just one quarter of the trainees left, waiting to make their choice. Do you know what this means?

[ HEECHUL (H.) ] : After this mission, when votes are totalled up, only 18 will survive. 6 will be eliminated. Without this mission, the 6 of you wouldn’t be here right now.

[ #20 | KANG CHAERYEONG ] : That’s such a scary thought… I’m going to work harder, I have to!

[ HEECHUL (H.) ] : Unfortunately, you girls already have a disadvantage, since you might not get the song you want. But I hope that no matter what, you’ll work hard! I’m sure you girls will do well in any concept, you’re all beautiful~

[ #21 | JIAN HUREN ] : He’s so sweet…

[ HEECHUL (H.) ] : Trainee Han Eunji, it’s your turn! Give me a moment...

HEECHUL GOES BEHIND THE
PARTITION TO CHECK
THE SLOTS LEFT!

[ HEECHUL (H.) ] : Good news! There’s slots left in every concept. However, except for one of the concepts, there’s only exactly one slot left!

[ #19 | HAN EUNJI ] : Does that mean I’ll get the concept I want? That’s amazing! But I also don’t want to be the lowest ranking trainee in the concept…

[ HEECHUL (H.) ] : Don’t think about that! It’s your turn to show them that ranks don’t matter and you’re going to do great! Fighting~

[ #19 | HAN EUNJI ] : Thank you!

━ [ SELECTION ROOM ] ━

[ #19 | HAN EUNJI ] : I’ll go for this concept! For a dark concept, there are many facial expressions I can use. Or should I go for retro? I think I’m a pretty fun person so it suits me, right?

WHICH WILL HAN EUNJI CHOOSE:

DARK & MYSTERIOUS OR RETRO?

[ #19 | HAN EUNJI ] : I’ll choose this because I feel good doing it! I think a lot of people already chose it, but as Heechul-sunbaenim said, I won’t think about that !

THE NEXT PERSON WHO ENTERS:
TRAINEE KANG CHAERYEONG!

[ #20 | KANG CHAERYEONG ] : Ah, there isn’t a card for the dark concept anymore. I guess Eunji-unnie must have chosen that! I’m glad this concept is still available - I think my young features will fit it well!

[ #21 | JIAN HUREN ] : Ah, I wanted the dark concept. But at least my second choice is still here!

THE REMAINING TRAINEES ARE
AUTOMATICALLY IN THE
SCHOOLGIRL CONCEPT!

[ HEECHUL (H.) ] : Are you guys happy with your concepts?

[ EQUINOX GIRLS ] : Yes!

[ HEECHUL (H.) ] : In a few moments, you will be transported to different photoshoot sites! You can try taking pictures at different places, and pick the shot you like the most!

[ #16 | LEE AERIM ] : I’m so excited!

[ HEECHUL (H.) ] : I think it’s a very good opportunity for you guys to experience what it’s like to take photoshoots! Do it with confidence, like you’re the only one in the world! You guys can go off to your various locations now, fighting~

MISSION #01.2 !

i’m not creating a separate chapter for this mission since you don’t have to “discuss with other trainees” - just complete the form below and send it to me!

basically all you have to do is find an image of your trainee that suits the concept and looks like a photoshoot - here are some examples!

they can be indoors, outdoors, anything is fine! most photos should be okay (except selcas), just send me what you have and i’ll let you know if it doesn’t work!

FORM:

[ TRAINEE #, NAME, CONCEPT ]

LINK TO IMAGE:

BACKUP: (i’ll let you know if i use the backup!)

DEADLINE ; FRI, 12 JUN 2020
l

et me know if you need an extension!

[ an hour of min ]
a super long message ahead,
probably 200+ words,
i apologise.

do note that this time,
while there will be a poll voting,
i will again be grading “how well
it suits the concept” so please
always take that into consideration,
not just a photo your girl looks
good in when it doesn’t fit the
concept at all!

good luck with this mission, because
after that we’ll be having eliminations!

quite a few eliminated might be
inactive trainees, but we might
also have to see some others go :(

fighting !! 

also i don’t know if anyone remembers, i used to do those “trainee introduction corners” at the end of each chapter?

i kept forgetting to write them, or the 
chapter was already too long… and
i think now the trainees have already
gotten enough exposure if they
have been active! so i’ll be
discontinuing those if it's ok >.<

i'm so sorry this message is super long
- but i wanna say that i've been really busy and i've had many things to do recently, plus i have tests next week !

don't worry, i love writing this book -
it kind of gives me a break <3
but also i need to study so
i won't be too active on wattpad
until a week or two later !
so i might not reply to your DMs
until the deadline, but be sure that if i ask you to amend anything after the deadline has passed, i won't penalise it as a late submission!!

however, during the next few weeks, there'll be voting and all, and the next chapter will be jumping straight into ranking and eliminations!

that's the end of my rant sorryy
