ANOTHER LONGGG CHAPTERRR!!!!!
____________________________________
The next day..... February 8, 2017.... A Wednesday....
The trainees wake up on the start of a new day, eats their breakfast, gets ready for the day wearing their uniform after they wash up as they were all lead to another building where they'll be doing their next activity. Grade by grade went by, entering the building and sees a huge gym like insides where there's a very big space in the middle.
The trainees becoming excited but also nervous for the upcoming activity they'll be doing as they all line up by their grades. Suddenly, the doors of the building opens up and in came the host, Lee Dong Wook with a mic and papers in his hand. The trainees, like systematically, clap and cheer for Dong Wook as he greeted them back with a wave.
"Nice to see you all." Lee Dong Wook says as he bows a little to the trainees as the trainees bow to him greeting him back. Dong Wook's eyes landed on Haneul to see how she's doing and seeing that she's doing fine, he starts to say his words. "Starting today, your grades will be removed and you will be re-evaluated to take classes in accordance to your ability."
Dong Wook says and the trainees begin to feel more nervous than before from the announcement. "The trainees that can survive from the First Ranking Announcement..... are from the 1st place to 60th place." Dong Wook says and the trainees started to feel dread and sadness filling them, knowing 61st to 101st trainees will be removed.
"The new assignment that NPs(National Producers) will evaluate to determine whether you will survive or be released... is....." Dong Wook trails off to make the trainees curious but the trainees were already too nervous to be curious about it as they all want to stay. "Group..... It's Group Battle." Dong Wook says and the trainees begin to think of thoughts in their minds.
Then the cloth that covered the huge wall behind Dong Wook was taken off and revealed the list of names of popular Kpop Artists/Kpop Idol Groups who are representatives to the Kpop World. EXO, SNSD, 2pm, GOT7, Miss A, BTS, BigBang, and AOA. The trainees, both males and females were now smiling at the groups that were shown on the wall. Both boy and girl groups' names were on the wall. "For this group battle, you will be evaluated with the songs of these Kpop Idol Groups' who are loved globally. You will also be given 5 days including today to practice."
Dong Wook says and the trainees nod their heads, looking directly at the idol group they wanted. "Before you select the group you want, you have to make teams with other trainees whom you'll perform the song with. This a box with names on the balls where you will draw from this box on who will be the next to be the one to select their team members."
"The number of trainees you can name is either 12 or 14 including yourself. The first trainee to pick his/her teammates is already chosen. Who do you think it is?" Dong Wook says and askes at the end as the trainees says what was on their minds. "The center position!" Trainees shouting this made Dong Wook laugh at how straightforward they were.
"That's right, the center position will be the first to pick their teammates. Trainee Seon Haneul, please come forward." Dong Wook says and Haneul shyly walks towards the spot next to Dong Wook and her feet walking looks like a little kid running which this made the trainees laugh at her cuteness. "The first season, there was a strong team called the Avengers." Dong Wook says and the trainees nod their heads.
"Haneul-shii, what kind of team do you plan on making?" Dong Wook asks as he looks at Haneul, expecting her answer. "Uhm... Then, I'll have to keep you guys waiting to guess what it is...." Haneul playfully says with a wink as she didn't want to let her plan get out. "You're really as mysterious as you can be, Haneul-shii. Okay now, pick 12-14 members which includes you." Dong Wook says laughing and says to Haneul.
Haneul nods her head and begins to call for 6 names, 1 from each grade which will fit each other based on their skills if ever they have to be separated into a 6 member group as Haneul have been assessing them the whole time. As Haneul was picking the names, the twins who are at B and Youngmi who is at C were looking down, thinking that she'll probably not pick them but boy were they wrong. "Grade C's Hung Youngmi, Grade B's twins, Kang Il Sung and Kang Yong Sook, Grade D's Tong Ae Cha and lastly, Grade F's Yin Kyung."
Haneul says their names and those 5 trainees, who weren't expecting to be called, were called by Haneul. The twins and Youngmi were shocked that they were called but nonetheless, contented and happy that they'll be performing with Haneul as the other two trainees were coming down from their grade and heads to where Haneul is at.
As the 5 trainees arrived next to Haneul, Haneul was smiling. The trainees couldn't believe that she picked from each grade to make it up into 12 member team. She made it so from her calculative thinking that if they're split into two groups, it'll be enough and even plus the trainees she picked compliment each other.
"Okay, now that Haneul has picked her 12 member group including herself, the next person shall choose..." Dong Wook says as he motions Haneul to get a ball from a box which the balls have names of each trainees present. Haneul picks up a ball from the box and it started there as trainee after trainee were next to choose or were chosen. After a little while, the teams have finally been chosen including the ones who weren't chosen, who were made into a team themselves.
"Now all 8 teams have been formed. You may now discuss among yourselves on which group you want to choose." Dong Wook says and after saying this, the teams disperse to discuss about which they want to choose. Haneul's team huddles together to discuss and she looks at everyone, not regretting picking them. "So what do you guys want to do? Which group do you guys like to choose?" Haneul asks as she looks at everyone with innocent and curious eyes as her members were too shy to speak up. "W-We want you to choose because you chose us and we're happy enough for that." A girl who Haneul picked, spoke up shyly and Haneul nods her head understanding.
"Hm, I really want to ask for your thoughts but since not everyone wants to speak up how about we do a voting instead? We raise our hands up if we like the groups' name that I will say." Haneul says and her members nod their heads as they were really too shy to speak up, including the twins and Youngmi. "EXO?" Haneul asks as she says the name, she and 4 others raise their hands up. "I forgot to say that you can raise your hands multiple times if you want." Haneul asks and 5 more raised their hands so 10. "SNSD?" Haneul asks as she and 8 others raised their hands so 9. "2pm?" Haneul asks as her and 9 others raised their hands so 10.
"GOT7?" Haneul says as her and 9 raised their hands so 10. "Miss A?" Haneul asks as her and 7 raised their hands so 8. "BTS?" Haneul asks as she and 9 others raised their hands so 10. "BigBang?" Haneul asks as she and 9 raised their hands so 10. "AOA?" Haneul asks as she and 8 raised their hands so 9. "Okay, EXO, 2pm, GOT7, BTS and BigBang are tied. You guys want to perform boy groups' songs, huh?" Haneul asks and they nod their heads as Haneul chuckles at them.
"But we need to finalize which group we want." Haneul says as she thinks about the 5 boy groups that were tied. "5 more minutes everyone!" Dong Wook reminds the trainees as Haneul's group begin to panic in a hurry. "Let's do rock paper scissors. I'll be.... You'll be....." Haneul quickly tells the other four members on who they'll represent as they'll play the game. "The winner will be what we choose. Kai Bai Bo!" They played three rounds until they got a winner.
"Okay, everyone. Please come back to your lines from earlier." Dong Wook says with the mic as the trainees begin to go back to their positions earlier. Haneul's group were laughing at how silly they chose the group. The trainees were now back in their positions from earlier. "The method of the selection of groups for the Group Battle is something we did on the first season. It will be determined by a running race. The rule is simple. There are eight flags in front of you and you have to take the flag of the group your team chose. Then put the flag in the flagpole of the group of your choice." Dong Wook says as everyone gets ready.
"The representative will now move to the starting line." Dong Wook says and each representative of each team walks towards the starting line. Haneul being the representative since she volunteered, her members cheering for her. The representatives were eyeing their opponents not knowing which will choose which and would want to be the first to take what they want to take. Haneul already has her eyes set on a flag as she stretched her body while waiting for Dong Wook to continue.
"When I blow the whistle, you can start running. Representatives, get ready." Dong Wook says just as Haneul was done with her stretching. The representatives start to get ready, bending and their feet in position as their teammates were silently praying for them to get what they want to get. The moment the whistle blew, Haneul ran like her life depended on it. She ran like Hermes with his winged shoes.
The trainees were flabbergasted by how fast she ran, even the representatives stopped moving due to the shock. Haneul, being oblivious to it, got the flag, taking it in her hand and turns around to run back but then sees the situation. Haneul stops in her tracks to see everyone, the trainees, staff, directors, Dong Wook, the cameras, were all pointing and looking at her. "What happened?" Haneul asks as she looks at everyone who were silently looking at her.
"Come on! The race is still on! Hurry get the flags!" Haneul says after no one answered her, this snapped the representatives' back on track as they begin to run for the flags they wanted, pushing away the representatives when some of them want the same flag. Haneul ran back to her flagpole and sticks the flag in it, securing the group her team chose. Haneul calms her breath once she secures the flag and looks at the representative trying to take the flags they want.
Some representatives got what they wanted while the remaining ones took what was left. Some representatives were happy and some were sad cause of the flags they got. The teammates were clapping for their representatives who worked hard. Now that everything died down, Dong Wook begins to speak. "The first survival and dropout will be decided by the National Producers' decisions in this Group Battle." The trainees were beginning to feel jittery.
"I'll now reveal the evaluation songs of EXO." Dong Wook says as he walks towards the big wall with the names of the groups and stops in front of EXO, ripping the paper off to reveal the songs. The trainees were gasping in shock and amazement to see that the songs were EXOs Growl vs Monster. The trainees were smiling and gasping as they talk to each other about the songs.
"Instead of competing against each other with the same song, two teams under each Idol group will choose between these two songs." Dong Wook says as the trainees were torn by the sudden division of the teams into two groups as well as being excited about the bonus points for the winners which made them more hyped up.
"We're going to be divided?" "Oh, no." "We're going to compete against each other?" The trainees were asking questions as they think about it more.
"Keep in mind that the group with the highest score among the two teams under each idol group, will gain a benefit of 3000 bonus votes for each of its members. Plus, the highest-ranked member of each winning team in each idol group, will gain an extra benefit of having his/her score multiplied by 10 in addition of the 3000 bonus votes. The team with the highest votes out of the rest of the team will perform on MCountdown." Dong Wook says as everyone became excited about the bonus points for the winners which made them more hyped up plus performing on MCountdown.
"You all must be wondering how you'll be divided.. Let me tell you how..." Dong Wook trails off after seeing the trainees' faces. "The representative trainees who selected their team members will be the one to divide the team." Dong Wook continues and this left the trainees in shock as they look at their representatives.
"In short, they may choose the song they want and the members they want." Dong Wook says and the trainees were looking at their representatives as the representatives were looking at their teammates. Haneul, however, already foresee this happening and already made her teammates compliment each other if they are divided which didn't make Haneul worried at all.
"Trainee _______, please choose the song you want." Dong Wook calls out the name of the trainee as she was the one who got the EXO flag. The trainee begins to walk towards Dong Wook since there was two stands in front of him which had Growl and Monster on them. The trainee was contemplating on which she wanted but in the end, she chose Monster. "Monster." Dong Wook says and the trainees were cheering for her.
"Now choose the members that go well with the song you chose." Dong Wook says as the trainee was thinking hard on who to choose. After thinking for a bit, she chose her members while the remaining ones were teamed up and are on the Growl side. "The battle between Growl and Monster has been confirmed." Dong Wook says. The trainees went another side of the room with another stair like stage where they'll stand after choosing their teams and song.
"I'll now reveal the evaluation songs of Girl's Generation or SNSD." Dong Wook says and walks to the next paper to rip it, revealing the names of the two songs. SNSD's I Got A Boy and Lion Heart. The representative who got SNSD was a male trainee, he chose the song I Got A Boy and chose his teammates while the remaining ones were teamed and on the Lion Heart.
"I'll be revealing 2pm's songs." Dong Wook walks towards the paper and rips it, revealing 2pm's 10 out of 10 and Promise(I'll Be). The representative who got 2pm was a male trainee, choosing 10 out of 10 and chose his members while the remaining ones were teamed up and on Promise(I'll Be). "Next is GOT7." Dong Wook walks towards the paper and rips it, revealing GOT7's Girls Girls Girls and Hard Carry. "Trainee Seon Haneul, please choose the song you want." Dong Wook says pointing at the two songs in front of him as Haneul was already walking towards a stand.
"I wonder what song she'll pick." "GOT7 songs are hard to perform in especially their dances like Hard Carry." The trainees were talking among themselves and Haneul could hear them. Haneul was smiling at the fact that they know GOT7's songs are hard to perform but its Haneul, she can make anything happen with hard work. Haneul walks over to a stand and smiles as she faces her fellow trainees as they were gasping in shock. "Hard Carry.... Then please choose your teammates." Dong Wook says and Haneul nods her head.
"The twins, Kang Il Sung and Kang Yong Sook, Hung Youngmi, Yin Kyung and Tong Ae Cha." Haneul says the trainees' names as they were shocked that they were called while the ones weren't, were sad that they didn't get picked. After Haneul's members were beside her, the ones who weren't picked came down and stood next to the Girls Girls Girls stand. "Don't worry. I'll help you guys out." Haneul whispers to the other team even though they're now opponents, the other team were shocked but thankful for her kindness.
"I'll be revealing Miss A's songs." Dong Wook says as he walks towards the paper and rips it off, revealing Miss A's Bad Girl Good Girl and Only You. Dong Wook calls the representative trainee, a female trainee, who chose this and tells her to choose a stand and her members. "Bad Girl Good Girl...." Dong Wook says. Once she chose a stand and her members, they went to the other stage to stand in lines there with the others.
"I'll be revealing BTS's songs." Dong Wook says as he walks towards the paper and rips it off, revealing BTS's No More Dream and Blood Sweat and Tears. Dong Wook calls the representative trainee, a male trainee, who chose this and tells him to choose a stand and his members. "Blood Sweat and Tears...." Dong Wook says. Once he chose a stand and his members, they went to the other stage to stand in lines there with the others.
"I'll now reveal the evaluation songs of BigBang." Dong Wook says and walks to the next paper to rip it, revealing the names of the two songs. BigBang's Fantastic Baby and Bang Bang Bang. The representative who got BigBang was a male trainee, he chose the song Fantastic Baby and chose his teammates while the remaining ones were teamed and on the Bang Bang Bang. Once he chose a stand and his members, they went to the other stage to stand in lines there with the others.
"I'll now reveal the last idol group's songs, AOA." Dong Wook says and walks towards the paper, ripping it off and revealing AOA's Like A Cat and Excuse me. Dong Wook calls the representative trainee, a female trainee, who chose this and tells her to choose a stand and her members. "Bad Girl Good Girl...." Dong Wook says. Once she chose a stand and her members, they went to the other stage to stand in lines there with the others.
"Now that everyone has already chosen their team members and their songs, you may now start strategizing, picking the leader and center, learning the song and its dance and practice." Dong Wook says, walking out of the building while waving goodbye to the trainees so they can begin. The cameras catching Dong Wook leaving and the trainees waving goodbye back.
After Dong Wook left, the trainees wasted no time in finding an area within the building to start strategizing and picking their leaders and centers. After a little while, each of the teams have chosen their leader and center and have begun practicing. Then the staff and directors turn to look to the right and suddenly sees the team that was divided into two were sitting together unlike other groups. They were strategizing and picking their leaders and centers together, seeing that Haneul was leading their meeting.
The director quickly nudges two cameramen to point their cameras at the team out of curiosity and wonder for it is the first time they have seen it. The two cameras pointed at the team, which filmed the team talking, giving their opinions, strategizing their ideas into one as Haneul was listening to everyone's words and finalizes it. "Ms. Haneul?" The director suddenly calls out to Haneul, who stopped talking due to the calling and turns her head to look at the person who called her.
Haneul stands up and bows her head to greet the director. The team looks at the director as well since Haneul was called. " We would like to do an interview for a little bit. Is that okay?" The director asks and Haneul accepts as there were times trainees would be interviewed and this was her turn. "You guys continue. I'll be right back." Haneul tells the two teams and they nod as she left to go with the interview staff.
They went into a room where equipment were stationed with a chair and a background. Haneul was seated in the seat with a smile and the interview staff begin rolling for the interview.
"Did you do a meeting together instead of doing it separately? You'll be competing against each other you know." The interviewer asks and Haneul nervously smiles, rubbing her neck. "Ah, yes. Well, wouldn't it be better to help each other? We know its a competition against each other but its also something that we want to learn from and to experience. We can compete later on but for now, we want to do what's best for each team and what we decide on."
Haneul answers truthfully which left the staff speechless. "Then how do you feel about this competition between the team you chose yourself?" "I feel happy somewhat. I mean, I was right on my prediction that we would be going against each other when Mr. Dong Wook said we would be teaming up for this. I'm happy that I could work with these amazing trainees that I chose and hopefully I can work with other trainees as well. I'm don't really care if I don't get into the top 10. I'm just here to have fun, meet new people, gain experiences and knowledge, learn new things with new people, give and teach others my experiences and knowledge and basically helping everyone out." Haneul ends her talk with a smile and the staff was once again speechless of her words.
"How nice." One staff said and with that they ended the interview. Once the interview was done, the staff let Haneul go back to the teams. Haneul walks back and sees the team waiting for her. "So, what happened while I was gone?" Haneul asks and Youngmi explains what happened. Haneul nods her head after Youngmi explained. "Well, then. It seems everything is already settled. Shall we begin learning the song and dance?" Haneul asks and the two teams nod their head. Haneul tells the leader of the other team to handle everything on his team while she handles hers since Haneul is the leader of her team.
The leader of the other team nods and they went to another area just enough to give space for Haneul's team to move in. Haneul looks at her team while the ipad in her hand had the dance practice video playing. The twins, Kang Yong Sook taking Jaebeom's lines and Kang Il Sung taking Jackson's lines, Hung Youngmi taking Jinyoung's lines, Tong Ae Cha taking Youngjae's lines, Yin Kyung taking BamBam's lines and Haneul taking Mark and Yugyeom's lines.
Haneul was only going to take Mark's lines but her team made her take Yugyeom's lines as well as they were only six and GOT7 is made up of seven members. She refused because she wanted others to take it so they can be seen more but they refused and made her take it. Haneul becoming the leader and the center. Haneul became the center since she has more lines than others plus the members decided on it which Haneul tried to refuse but to no avail.
Haneul already learnt the dance so she'll have to teach them the dance first then they practice on the lyrics and song. She'll have to make changes to the dance first since they're only six so she'll have to make it for six members but the dance stays the same, maybe just the formations will be changed and the direction of some steps. Haneul made up her mind and called her team's attention. "I'll teach you the dance then later on we'll practice on the lyrics and song, okay?" Haneul announces and her team nods their head.
Five days later... February 12, 2017..... A Sunday.....
The teams get ready in their costumes, their make up on, them practicing their lines and their dances while waiting in the backstage room where all the trainees were in. Lee Dong Wook talking to the filled up building with the NPs around and in front of the stage where Dong Wook is standing on and where the teams will be performing on.
For the past five days, each team were practicing as much as they can to perfect their piece while having problems during those. Some trainees were depressed as things were not going their way, some were stressed out for the things not going as planned and some were trying their hardest to do whatever they can. The teams always had problems even the good teams but thanks to Haneul always checking up on all of the teams while listening to their concerns and giving them a solution, the teams were grateful for her words that made them not give up and continue moving forward.
"Okay, everyone. I know you all might think of me as someone who's looking for attention by doing this-" Haneul started off but she was cut off by all the trainees saying "No, we don't!". Haneul only laughs and continues with her speech.
"We have come all the way to this day and I'm proud of you guys. This may be the first of the upcoming performances but I'm proud to see everyone doing their best. I'm glad to meet everyone here and I wish everyone luck on their performance. No matter who wins or loses, everyone should have fun on stage and give their all, okay? Now, let's rock this stage!" Haneul ends by shouting to hype them up which worked. The trainees yell of encouragement for each other made everyone happy and especially thankful for Haneul for helping and guiding them throughout the five days they were practicing.
The cameras filming this scene and the staff seeing this were feeling the warmth of Haneul's words even though she was one of the youngest trainee among the trainees. The live show has begun, the NPs and the online NPs who are watching, either directly and indirectly, will be voting on the spot or online for the trainee they want to vote on. Dong Wook begins saying his words and the NPs were excited as to which team will go first.
The mentors were watching this happen on a monitor in a room that was provided for them to watch and evaluate the trainees' performances while being excited. Since for the past five days, the mentors would come and evaluate the teams' performances twice during those five days. The mentors hoping to see good results and performances and just thinking about that, the cameras caught the mentors smiling.
After Dong Wook says his words, the competition has begun. The first teams to perform are EXO. The first team to perform out of the two were the Growl team who did their best as well as did the Monster team giving their all. As the two teams were sitting in an area after performing, to see the voting of which team wins and who the highest voted member is. The winning team is Monster and the most highest voted member was a male trainee.
Next came AOA's teams which were all female trainees consist of 6 members of team. The first team to perform out of the two were the Excuse Me team then the Like A Cat team, these two giving their all as they performed. They were then seated in the same area to see the voting. The winning team was Like A Cat and the highest voted member was a female trainee.

Last were the GOT7 team where the trainees are mixed. The first to perform was the Girls Girls Girls team followed by Hard Carry team. When the Hard Carry team were next to perform, Haneul and her team walk to the stage and to their surprise the NPs who were there watching the teams performing, were cheering loudly for Haneul's team especially for Haneul. "Miracle7! I love you!" Both female and male NPs said as Haneul was trying to wave hi to them and trying to calm them down.
There were also female and male NPs cheering for the other members which the other members were happy about but were also shy. As their performance began, they were dancing smoothly as planned then sang, rapped and danced the whole performance while smiling and having fun on stage. The people watching were cheering so hard as the team performed which made the team smile as they performed. Especially GOT7, who were all watching the live show, were smiling proudly at Haneul as she performed.
The sevens missing her and now that they get to see her performing live on stage made them happy for her. They can't wait to see her after the 2 months ends.
After Haneul's team finished, they and the other team went to the area to see the voting. "No matter who wins and loses, we all did our best, okay? I'm happy for you guys." Haneul says after they were all seated. Everyone there were feeling emotional to what Haneul said as she was always helping them and listening to all their concerns. "We thank you, Haneul-ah." Everyone stood up and bowed their heads, wholeheartedly thanking her. Haneul was stunned by them standing and bowing so suddenly, she was dazed for a bit before pushing them back down while playfully slapping their shoulders for that.
The team members there were laughing and smiling at the now blushing Haneul as they wait for the votes. Then the monitor shows the results slowly. The ending is that Haneul's team won and the highest voted member is also Haneul. "Congratulations, Haneul-ah!" The two teams' members congratulate Haneul knowing that she deserves it. "Thank you, everyone." Haneul thanks them and they all went back to the waiting room where the other teams are at. Once they came back to the waiting room, everyone was congratulating Haneul who is beet red from all the congratulations were coming from all of them.
"Thank you all." Haneul bows her head and thanks them wholeheartedly. The trainees watching were smiling and happy for Haneul.
Later that day, it became night. The trainees all gathered to where the NPs were all at earlier, lined up and looking at Dong Wook who is standing on stage as the cameramen were on the sides of the stage, filming them as well were there cameramen offstage and behind the trainees.
"National Producers have evaluated the trainees for the first time in the Group Battle. All the teams are done with their performances. Through the on-site voting results, eight teams won and the other 8 teams didn't." Dong Wook says as the trainees who won were nodding their heads while those who didn't look onwards and looked sad.
"The first place team with the highest number of votes from the National Producers from the Group Battle, will get a chance to perform their cover-performance on MCountdown. Which team will be the winner?" Dong Wook says and asks at the end as the trainees were pondering on which group of the winners' team will it be.
"The winning team with the highest number of on-site votes...." Dong Wook trails off to give the thrill to the trainees to make them guess which team won. "The winning team with the highest number of on-site votes is team Hard Carry." The trainees then look at Haneul's team who were shocked from the announcement. Her team members all looked shocked and had their eyes widened from shock. The trainees were clapping and congratulating Haneul's team especially to Haneul as they know she and her team deserved it.
Haneul's team members rejoiced and hug each other, being happy as Haneul was looking at her fellow trainees as she bows her thanks then looks at her teammates who were happily smiling and hugging each other which made her smile as well. Haneul then sees her team members turn to look at her and lunges at her for a hug. Haneul was caught off guard as they hugged her. Haneul was just laughing at them knowing they did their best and got what they deserved.
After all that, everything became calm again as Dong Wook clears his throat to say more words. "It's time to announce the most important thing. According to the results of the on-site vote the rankings of all the trainees have been decided from top to bottom." Dong Wook says and continues on. "First off, you will be announced of the rankings of individual votes without the bonus votes." Dong Wook says and the monitor in front of them shows the votes of all the trainees from bottom to the top.
The trainees seeing their votes until it got to the top where Haneul is at. Everyone was congratulating Haneul for getting the top 1 with 317 votes. "But this isn't the end guys. We will now show the changed rankings with the bonus votes from the battle results." Dong Wook says and the monitor showed the rankings again. From the bottom to the top with the bonus votes. The rankings changing again.
The trainees were shocked by the number of votes now with the bonus votes. Haneul still keeping the top 1 with 6,170 which is 317x10=3,170 +3,000(Bonus votes)= 6,170 votes. "The first place trainee is Seon Haneul who received the highest number of on-site votes as well as the bonus votes and the x10." Dong Wook says and the trainees congratulate and clapped for Haneul as she bows her head, still stunned by the outcome of being the first place.
The rankings have changed due to the bonus votes and with that the trainees looked onto the rankings more as they see their own votes, proving that the votes are important as well as working hard as a team. "The on-site votes and the bonus votes today will be combined with the votes you get through the official website and mobile application, will then the final rankings will be decided. Your elimination and survival will depend on the final rankings and it will be revealed during the First Ranking Announcement."
And with that, the shoot has ended, the trainees thanked Dong Wook and the staff for their hard work as they were being lead back to their dorms of the show, ending the night with dinner and sleep for a new tomorrow has come.

Hey guys! How's the chapter huh? Hehe. How're you all? Is everyone doing well? I hope you guys are! I hope you're all doing well and great! Always remember not to do anything bad nor harm others for your own benefit and pleasure.
Remember to always help those in need who can't help themselves but if it endangers your life then it is up to you to decide.
Also, I think I'll be having a tough time with updating a chapter next week because of schoolwork but I'll do my best to write as much as I can so I can update next week but if I couldn't, then that means I've been busy and will update a chapter next next week.
I hope you guys continue to support and read my book! Please, read my other book, The Rising Of Akalea, too! It means a lot to me, really. Thank you all!
Thank you all for reading until this chapter! I really want see you all in the upcoming chapters as well!
