..⃗. EPISODE TWO, PART ONE

⸝⸝ NOHYUN ⸃ !!
Maybe the OVERTHROW Gods shined their sparkle magic on me but HOLY COW I GOT MY IDEAL TEAM?

⸝⸝ NOHYUN ⸃ !!
But also this means I'm the youngest so I have to lead them? (pouts) I'm babie leader, losers!

⸝⸝ SUNGMIN ⸃ !!
So NOHYUN-ssi when you picked the four of us, you most likely had a concept or song in mind.

⸝⸝ NOHYUN ⸃ !!
Of course! I was planning to do a more upbeat or a more refreshing concept.

⸝⸝ YEJUN ⸃ !!
Like TXT or MCND-sunbaenim?

⸝⸝ NOHYUN ⸃ !!
Yeah!! Like them!

⸝⸝ JUNHYEON ⸃ !!
(takes out his phone) Let's...go look up a couple of videos and then we can decide.

The boys bunch up around JUNHYEON's phone, eyes glued to the screen as they sift through performances.

ONE HOUR LATER . . .

⸝⸝ SUNGMIN ⸃ !!
...And for those reasons, we should choose NEW RULES by TXT!

⸝⸝ YEJUN ⸃ !!
(bleary eyed) Uhh yeah, I agree! I was totally listening for all 15 minutes you spent talking about darwin's theory of evolution or something.

⸝⸝ SUNGMIN ⸃ !!
...YEJUN I literally just talked about how I think the music matches our personalities and it really feels like we're leveling up and-

⸝⸝ JUNHYEON ⸃ !!
OKAY!

⸝⸝ JUNHYEON ⸃ !!

So we all agree with NEW RULES? SEAN, what about you?

SEAN looks up from the shoelace that he's fiddling with to give JUNHYEON a half-hearted shrug of agreement. The older boy furrows his brow at the lack of enthusiasm, but moves on anyway.

⸝⸝ JUNHYEON ⸃ !!
Sounds good! Leader, any remarks before we head out for tonight?

⸝⸝ NOHYUN ⸃ !!
(startled) Oh, we're ending already? Uhh I don't really know what to say...sleep well I suppose? Be ready to work hard tomorrow!

The team cheers, laughing a little as the maknae struggles to create a motivational speech on the spot, before standing up and grabbing their bags to head back to the dorms.

( 六 ) . . . DAY SIX,, 12:58p.m.

With the interim evaluation one day away, the boys are hard at work. SUNGMIN is carefully monitoring the boys' dance, calling out the beat to make sure every move is perfectly in sync.

⸝⸝ SUNGMIN ⸃ !!
5, 6, doom, doom ta-

⸝⸝ SUNGMIN ⸃ !!
NOHYUN move your arm closer to your ear please...yep! That's it!

Before they can continue, however, the door swings open and rap mentor RYUJIN steps into the room. The team immediately stop their work, and bows to the senior artist.

⸝⸝ RYUJIN ⸃ !!
Hey boys! How's it going in here?

She smiles brightly, clipboard in hand, as she looks at the group. The boys nudge NOHYUN forward to speak, as he's technically the group's leader.
