The students have just finished recording yet another clip for the music video!

I think it came out fairly well, even if not everyone was exactly cooperative...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JAYDEN IM ꜜ he/him（CLASS ONE） ― All I know is that if the director keeps yelling at us like that, I'm going to kill him soon.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HAN SUNGYEON ꜜ they/it（CLASS ONE） ― JAYDEN, YOU CAN'T SAY THAT... POSPA SODA ®.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JAYDEN IM ꜜ he/him（CLASS ONE） ― ... What the hell is that sound effect?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HAN SUNGYEON ꜜ they/it（CLASS ONE） ― What sound effect? POSPA SODA ®.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JAYDEN IM ꜜ he/him（CLASS ONE） ― That one.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HAN SUNGYEON ꜜ they/it（CLASS ONE） ― Oh, this? It's just so people don't forget the purpose of this video! POSPA SODA ®.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JAYDEN IM ꜜ he/him（CLASS ONE） ― Stop it immediately.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HAN SUNGYEON ꜜ they/it（CLASS ONE） ― I'm sorry.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "MARIA" ꜜ she/they（STAFF） ― [chuckles] Don't be so stingy! They're doing great given your task. You, on the other hand...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JAYDEN IM ꜜ he/him（CLASS ONE） ― [shrugs] I just don't think we need to try this hard. The public isn't stupid either, we should stop acting as if they are.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "MARIA" ꜜ she/they（STAFF） ― No one assumes that. People just love being serviced, and that's what we're doing for them! Why do you think they'd have you guys recording a short queerbating sports themed drama otherwise?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HAN SUNGYEON ꜜ they/it（CLASS ONE） ― [nodding] Yes, yes, I understand.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "MARIA" ꜜ she/they（STAFF） ― See? Sungyeon gets it already. You should learn a thing or two from it.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JAYDEN IM ꜜ he/him（CLASS ONE） ― ...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― Break's over! The crew is waiting right there already.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HAN SUNGYEON ꜜ they/it（CLASS ONE） ― Alright! Quick, Jayden, let's go! POSPA SODA ®.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JAYDEN IM ꜜ he/him（CLASS ONE） ― ENOUGH WITH THE SOUND EFFECT.

Jesus Christ...

Maria is currently taking pictures for the illustrations she'll have to draw, so she gave me the camera...

I fucking hate these guys.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ KIM JUNSEONG ꜜ he/him（CLASS TWO） ― Hey there... That isn't very nice.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "NANAMIN" ꜜ she/her（STAFF） ― There's no time to be nice when you have to do the one thing you hate the most.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ KIM JUNSEONG ꜜ he/him（CLASS TWO） ― Filming?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "NANAMIN" ꜜ she/her（STAFF） ― Talking to people.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ KIM JUNSEONG ꜜ he/him（CLASS TWO） ― Oh.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "NANAMIN" ꜜ she/her（STAFF） ― Yeah.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "NANAMIN" ꜜ she/her（STAFF） ― [sighs] What's up, by the way? Why aren't you with the others?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ KIM JUNSEONG ꜜ he/him（CLASS TWO） ― We just finished! Actually, I'm thirsty... Can you give me a can of POSPA SODA ®?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "NANAMIN" ꜜ she/her（STAFF） ― [opening the mini fridge beside her] Sure... What flavor again?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ KIM JUNSEONG ꜜ he/him（CLASS TWO） ― Kiwi, please!

Oh, here's Seonwoo as well.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HEO SEONWOO ꜜ he/him（CLASS TWO） ― Hi, Nanamin. Can I have a peach-flavored POSPA SODA ®, please?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "NANAMIN" ꜜ she/her（STAFF） ― Alright... Here they are.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ KIM JUNSEONG ꜜ he/him（CLASS TWO） ― Thank you! Let's toast, Seonwoo.

The Class Two students open their cans in front of the camera before the logo appears on screen.

POSPA SODA ® ! Popping our way through your heart ~

With an assortment of various flavors, POSPA SODA ® does its best to teach adults and children alike the wonders of fun yet healthy drinks! You can-

✹ ﹒ ﹒ MIAO QIUYE ꜜ he/any（CLASS THREE） ― [pushing the logo away] It can't be that healthy considering it's a carbonated drink... And who knows how many artificially processed sugars are there?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HONG INKYU ꜜ he/any（CLASS THREE） ― Do you want them to stop funding us or what?!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HEO SEONWOO ꜜ he/him（CLASS TWO） ― You're making me agree with Kyu... Are you serious.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HONG INKYU ꜜ he/any（CLASS THREE） ― What do you mean by that.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HEO SEONWOO ꜜ he/him（CLASS TWO） ― Nothing.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HONG INKYU ꜜ he/any（CLASS THREE） ― ...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JAYDEN IM ꜜ he/him（CLASS ONE） ― If their funding is what gets us this shitty set-up, I don't think it's worth it to begin with...

I am SO thankful this is not an official promotional video for them, or we would be in serious trouble...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HONG INKYU ꜜ he/any（CLASS THREE） ― Argh, just... Shut up!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HONG INKYU ꜜ he/any（CLASS THREE） ― Also, can I please have a lemon-flavored one?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "NANAMIN" ꜜ she/her（STAFF） ― There you go.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ MIAO QIUYE ꜜ he/any（CLASS THREE） ― And cranberry for me! I'm sure it'll go well with cheese...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "NANAMIN" ꜜ she/her（STAFF） ― So... All these complaints only to ask me for one anyways? Fuck off!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ MIAO QIUYE ꜜ he/any（CLASS THREE） ― Nanamin, you can't say that! POSPA SODA ®.

I fucking hate these guys.

The filming for the MV is over already, but today we have the shooting for the short drama.

I almost feared I'd have to see my high school junior be gay on screen... But thank goodness it's just these two randos!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ZHENG HUAN ꜜ he/him（CLASS FOUR） ― "Why? Why are you resisting this much?"

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ZHENG HUAN ꜜ he/him（CLASS FOUR） ― "You... And Kazama Hirokuni. Are you simply going to let Takanashi die?"

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JAYDEN IM ꜜ he/him（CLASS ONE） ― "Of course not... I just don't want to get in his way."

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JAYDEN IM ꜜ he/him（CLASS ONE） ― "I want him to have the best moment of his life before it's too late."

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ZHENG HUAN ꜜ he/him（CLASS FOUR） ― "Best moment? He's just letting out his hatred towards me!"

Sungyeon keeps leaning on the table, panting, perfectly capturing Takanashi Renma's role.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JAYDEN IM ꜜ he/him（CLASS ONE） ― "There's no hatred, Shiratori."

With a hand on Sungyeon's shoulder, Jayden smiles slightly.

Ooh, he's good.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JAYDEN IM ꜜ he/him（CLASS ONE） ― "All Takanashi wants is to play with you until his final moments."

Huan acts surprised, looking at Sungyeon as it continues panting, now slowly raising its head.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ZHENG HUAN ꜜ he/him（CLASS FOUR） ― "Takanashi... Don't tell me..."

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HAN SUNGYEON ꜜ they/it（CLASS ONE） ― [panting, with a smile] "Indeed. Nothing you could've done will ever erase our past together, Shiratori. I know you were just trying to protect me."

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HAN SUNGYEON ꜜ they/it（CLASS ONE） ― "But whether I'm dying or not, playing table tennis with you makes it all worth the risk."

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ZHENG HUAN ꜜ he/him（CLASS FOUR） ― "..."

The filming goes on for a little longer, now sped up as it is considered completely irrelevant to the audience at home.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ DIRECTOR ― And cut!

As the director announces the end of the shoot, the students immediately run away from the set.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HAN SUNGYEON ꜜ they/it（CLASS ONE） ― [panting] Haa... Haa... Please... I had ENOUGH...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "MARIA" ꜜ she/they（STAFF） ― Don't worry, Sungyeon! Wasn't that the last scene for today?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HAN SUNGYEON ꜜ they/it（CLASS ONE） ― Ah, yeah... Tomorrow we have the shoot for the final scene...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "MARIA" ꜜ she/they（STAFF） ― I'm sure you'll do great~ Do you want a 𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 can of POSPA SODA ®?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JAYDEN IM ꜜ he/him（CLASS ONE） ― [appearing from behind SUNGYEON] And why would you say it like this.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HAN SUNGYEON ꜜ they/it（CLASS ONE） ― Mhm! Please!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "MARIA" ꜜ she/they（STAFF） ― Alright! Let me guess: lychee flavor?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HAN SUNGYEON ꜜ they/it（CLASS ONE） ― [clapping] Yes! How did you know?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "MARIA" ꜜ she/they（STAFF） ― Heh... I know you all like I know my pockets~

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "MARIA" ꜜ she/they（STAFF） ― By the way, can I ask you to tell us more about this project? What is it about? You can drink in the meanwhile, of course.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HAN SUNGYEON ꜜ they/it（CLASS ONE） ― Of course! So, you see...

We're cutting this out because no one actually cares.

At last, it is time for the students to check the results of their hard work before the official release.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ LISHAN ꜜ she/her（HEADMASTER） ― Congratulations, everyone! You've done a wonderful job. How about we watch the final MV together?

As the students reply enthusiastically, the staff puts on the video for the promotional POSPA SODA ® track...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "MARIA" ꜜ she/they（STAFF） ― ...

Oh, well. Yet another win for Yaoi Academy, I guess.

FEVEN'S CORNER !!!

Hello there! At last this extra is out~ I didn't really plan to write much for the POSPA SODA ® sponsorship, especially considering this doesn't really count as promo for anyone but Jayden ❪ considering the others are not eligible for the final lineup... ❫, but Rune made the video long ago and it would be a waste to ask her for it only not to use it at all. So here we are!

The next extras will definitely have more to them in terms of showing the OCs, so please look forward to them!
