CAMERA ]
❙ CALVIN LEE [ BNM ] smirking

❙ ISAAC BAE [ BNM ]
I wonder if we'll get good seats
❙ KI BYUNGHYUN [ BNM ]
isaac, you do realize we're the first
ones here, right?
❙ ISAAC BAE [ BNM ] surprised
oh, we are?
❙ ISAAC BAE [ BNM ] cutely
then more screen time for me!
❙ NA CHANGMIN [ BNM ] smug
woah. . . they have our names in
like four different languages!
❙ HWANG JUNSEOK [ BNM ]
you're right! that's actually
really cool!
❙ PARK JAEHYUN [ BNM ]
why don't you introduce yourself
in a different language, junseok?
❙ HWANG JUNSEOK [ BNM ] flustered
no-no thanks!
❙ PARK JAEHYUN [ BNM ] pouting
you're no fun
❙ HWANG JUNSEOK [ BMM ]
I'd rather not lose my dignity so
early in the game
[ THE TWO BOYS BICKER BACK
AND FORTH BEFORE REALIZING
THAT THE FOUR OTHERS ARE
ALREADY WANDERING IN THE
HALLWAY TO THE SEATING
ROOM. JUNSEOK RUNS AFTER
THEM, LEAVING JAEHYUN ALONE ]
❙ PARK JAEHYUN [ BNM ]

look at the seats! they look
so cool!
❙ NA CHANGMIN [ BNM ]
the top nine seats are glowing with
the tenth to twentieth stained gold. . .
❙ ISAAC BAE [ BNM ]
and the twenty-first to fortieth stained
silver. . .
❙ KI BYUNGHYUN [ BNM ]
I say we go for seats twenty to
twenty-five, that way we seem like
we're confident but not overly
confident
❙ CALVIN LEE [ BNM ]
but shouldn't we go higher because
we're from brand new music and
people will think highly of us?
❙ HWANG JUNSEOK [ BNM ]
that's if we want to be compared to
the brand new music trainees from
those who made it into x1 and
wanna one
❙ CALVIN LEE [ BNM ] thinking
. . . I suppose so. seats twenty
to twenty-five it is
[ ALL SIX BOYS AGREED AND
WALKED UP THE STAIRS TO
THEIR RESPECTIVE SEATS,

IN 21ST, JAEHYUN IN 22ND,

THROUGH AND SLOWLY WALK IN ]
❙ ??? [ HAPPYFACE ]
this is. . . new
❙ ??? [ HAPPYFACE ]
are you saying you've been
here before?
❙ ??? [ HAPPYFACE ]
no! it's just different than what
the produce series was.
❙ ??? [ HAPPYFACE ]
well this isn't that, now is it?
[ A SMALL BOY PICKS UP THE
NAME TAG YANG GYUYOUNG,
THE SAME BOY WHO TALKED
ABOUT THE PRODUCE SERIES ]
❙ YANG GYUYOUNG [ HAPPYFACE ]
I guess not, but still
❙ PARK YOONHYUN [ HAPPYFACE ]
I mean, gyuyoung has a point,
the produce series' rooms were
always just, bleh
❙ LEE BOGEUN [ HAPPYFACE ] sighing
yeah, I guess. anyway, are we
the second ones here?
❙ PARK YOONHYUN [ HAPPYFACE ]
by the amount of names still on
the table, I'd say so
❙ YANG GYUYOUNG [ HAPPYFACE ] glowing
does that mean we can get good
seats?
❙ LEE BOGEUN [ HAPPYFACE ]
I hope so
[ THE THREE BOYS CONTINUE
TO CHIT CHAT AS THEY WALK
DOWN THE HALLWAY AND TURN
LEFT, WALKING INTO THE SEATING
ROOM. THEY MAKE EYE CONTACT
WITH THE SIX BOYS ALREADY
SEATED ]
❙ NA CHANGMIN [ BNM ] whispering to isaac
doesn't one of them look familiar?
❙ ISAAC BAE [ BNM ] whispers back
yang gyuyoung? his parents are well
known in the music industry. . . why is
he here?
❙ NA CHANGMIN [ BNM ]
park yoonhyun was also a busker
awhile back. . . I'm not surprised
he's here though

bobo?
❙ YANG GYUYOUNG [ HAPPYFACE ] pouting
it's cute, leave me alone
❙ PARK YOONHYUN [ HAPPYFACE ]
okay lovebirds, let's sit at twelve to
fourteen, because it's a reasonable
choice for people like us, especially
since we're from a smaller company
❙ LEE BOGEUN [ HAPPYFACE ]
but we have d1ce and dreamcatcher. . .
❙ YANG GYUYOUNG [ HAPPYFACE ]
not to mention dalshabet–
❙ PARK YOONHYUN [ HAPPYFACE ]
I know, I know, but you get my
point. let's go
[ THE THREE BOYS MOVE UP TO
THE SEATS THEY DISCUSSED,
BOGEUN AT 12TH, GYUYOUNG
AT 13TH, AND YOONHYUN AT
14TH ]
❙ KI BYUNGHYUN [ BNM ] laughing

❙ PARK YOONHYUN [ HAPPYFACE ] disappointed
it is what it is, but at least we took these
before you could
❙ TRAINEES [ BNM ]
ooooh!
❙ KI BYUNGHYUN [ BNM ] embarrassed
shut up!
[ THE AIR WITHIN THE SEATING
ROOM BECAME TENSE, AND
THE CAMERA SWITCHED BACK TO

they stick like glue, holy
cheesecakes

❙ JOSHUA JEONG [ DSP ]
too late

IS POUTING, WALK INTO THE
SEATING ROOM, ALL OF THEM
OVERWHELMED BY THE SPACE
AND THE THICK TENSION IN THE AIR ]
❙ TRAINEES [ DSP ]
dsp bean sprouts!
❙ KWON KAIKO [ DSP ]

WAS GOING TO SIT IN THE
NUMBER ONE SEAT, BUT SWIFTLY
SAT IN THE SECOND SEAT.
WEISHENG SAT IN 3RD, KAIKO IN
4TH, BYEOMGYU IN 5TH AND
JOSHUA IN 6TH]
❙ YANG GYUYOUNG [ HAPPYFACE ]
I didn't think they'd all be so
confident . . .
❙ LEE BOGEUN [ HAPPYFACE ]
but with an entry like that, they
surely left an impression.
❙ PARK YOONHYUN [ HAPPYFACE ]
you got that right.
❙ CALVIN LEE [ BNM ]
did you see that? when they sat
down their names showed on the
screens!
❙ ISAAC BAE [ BNM ]
that's really cool! damn
now I wish we sat there
❙ KI BYUNGHYUN [ BNM ]
can you just, please not talk?
❙ NA CHANGMIN [ BNM ]
how about you take your
clearly toxic ass into the
trash? we're having a
harmless conversation,
jesus.
❙ DONG WEISHENG [ DSP ] pointing slyly
are the brand new music
trainees fighting?
❙ PARK NOAH [ DSP ]
seems like it, I wonder
what happened.
❙ DONG WEISHENG [ DSP ] humming
yeah.

BOYS GATHERED, SLOWLY TALKING
THEIR TIME ]
❙ YEONG MINJAE [ JYP ]
why am I so scared to be
here despite being from a
huge company?
❙ SEO HAJOON [ JYP ]
I don't know man, but what
I do know is that the trainees
and mentors will be thinking
highly of us because we're from
a big company.
❙ SHIN JAEYONG [ JYP ]
why did we agree to this
again?
❙ SEO HAJOON [ JYP ]
we didn't have much of a
choice, I feel like they only
took me in because of my
looks
❙ YEONG MINJAE [ JYP ] furrows eyebrows
don't say that! you're hella
talented!
❙ SHIN JAEYONG [ JYP ]
yeah! whoever told you that
can suck it!

TOOK 9TH ]
❙ YEONG MINJAE [ JYP ]
why does it seem like the brand
new music trainees are always
fighting?
❙ SEO HAJOON [ JYP ]
because they probably are.
❙ SHIN JAEYONG [ JYP ]
at least, right now they do.
❙ JOSHUA JEONG [ DSP ]
they've been at this for awhile,

❙ SEO HAJOON [ JYP ]
