"Okay guys, here comes the game that we created on our own." Chan announced.

"This will be challenging, but very fun. The name of this game is..." Changbin said, and paused for a while.

"Repeating game."

"Repeating game?" Sungyoon questioned quietly.

"This sounds like an easy game, however, it's one of the most complicated games we've ever created among ourselves." Jisung said.

Then they briefly explained the instructions before letting the instructors back to their teams.

"Can someone once again explain how the game works?" Youngtaek questioned and Seungmin rolled to the floor, pretending to faint. They all burst out laughing.

"So basically, we'll need to pick 3 people out from our team to join the game." Chaejung first explained.

"Then we'll be given a keyword or a phrase. Each time a person will enter a room with another person from another team for 2 minutes. Each person will need to speak for a minute." Mijin continued.

"They can say anything they want. But they also need to try to say out their phrase or keyword as many times as possible without being found out. At the same time they need to find out the opposite team's secret keyword or phrase. By the way, when the person is speaking, he or she is not allowed to separate the words of the phrases in a sentence or else it won't be counted." Minah said.

"So... at the end of these 45 minutes, we'll need to guess each other's secret. And if both teams are wrong, the winner will be determined by the amount of times you've said the secret word." Jaein said.

"Oooh!!! This is fun!" Youngtaek finally nodded excitedly.

"So who'll be going? Well, actually what method are we going to use?" Daeyeol questioned.

"I suggest using this." Sungyoon said, lowering his volume a bit as he took out his phone with a smile.

"Voice recording! Is it against the rules though?" Joochan whispered excitedly, before turning to Rico.

"It's perfectly fine." Rico said with a grin.

"Alright. The method is settled. Who'll join? Volunteers." Jaeseok questioned.

A few people raised their hands.

"I think Sungyoon hyung should be considered first." Bomin said.

"True, his observation is great." Jangjun agreed.

"Next? Jaein?" Minah suggested.

"I-I want to give a try so..." Jaein said quietly.

"Of course you can!" Joochan said with a smile.

"Then the last one, I suggest Chaejung to go." Seungmin said and Chaejung almost fell on her butt.

"Me? Nah..." Chaejung shrugged.

"Chaejung is super smart!" Arim said and poked her. Chaejung only coughed loudly in response.

"I really don't want to go." She said.

"I can go for her." Jangjun said.

"Jangjun hyung... are you sure you're smarter than Chaejung?" Youngtaek slowly asked, everyone laughed.

"Hey!" Even Jangjun laughed a bit.

"Jangjun, just go." Chaejung said with a smile, and he nodded.

"That's good. Did you guys bring your phones?" Mijin questioned. They all took out their phones before putting it back in their pockets.

"You guys will have 5 minutes before the next person goes in. Are you guys ready?" Rico asked.

"Yes!"

"Here is your keyword." Rico said and the team leaned close, she whispered the keyword and they widened their eyes a bit before nodding.

After 10 minutes of discussion, the game finally started. Sungyoon followed the instructors and entered a room a distance away from the team.

After 2 minutes, Sungyoon came back.

"How was it?" Jaehyun asked.

"I'll play my recording." Sungyoon said, taking out his phone, and started to play the recording. He spoke first.

"Hello, my name is Y, what about you? It's my first time here and I'm having a really great time, what about you? I know that our team will win this game for sure. You guys won't know what we'll do. I know we might not win as much games as team seventeen, but we improved a lot for sure. What about you? I'd like to ask if your team could improve as well?"

"Well, hello. For your information my name is Jinhee. Even though I already went here before and for your information this place really is fun. Sure, you all are leading, but will you guys be able to guess our secret? My team and I already thought of a way, where you guys won't be able to guess our secret. For your information, all of us are improving. Good luck on finding out our secret!"

"Good job, Sungyoon hyung!" Donghyun exclaimed.

"Sounds like a debate. I'm starting to regret this." Jaein sighed.

"You can always have a casual conversation with your opponent." Rico reminded.

"Yeah, don't be nervous." Minah said.

"By the way, I've heard that girl repeat "for your information" for a few times already." Jibeom said.

"It can't be that obvious." Ryu said.

"What I think is they might be trying to cover up their keyword by repeating something else more." Chaejung said.

"We'll find out the second most phrases they repeated, while Jaein can go inside the room after time is up." Daeyeol said.

"Good luck!" Bomin said.

And soon, Jaein came back from her turn. She didn't say much and played the recording.

"Hey, I'm Jaein. I'm not much of a talker, what about you?"

"My name's Park Woojin. For your information, I can be quiet when I want to, so shall we stay silent for the whole 2 minutes?"

"Um... I-I'd like to a-ask if you r-really mean it because I'm glad to do so?"

"For your information I'm just kidding. Aww and look who's stuttering?"

"I know I am, but it's just my habit..."

"I already said that I'm joking with you, why are you so cute?"

"I..."

"Don't worry, this will be our secret."

End of recording.

"Sorry..." Jaein apologized quietly.

"You did well already." Sungyoon said, patting her back.

"Who's next..." Mijin questioned, and everyone turned to the last person at the same time.

"Jangjun... fighting!"

Everyone try to guess the teams' keywords together ;)
