❛ no matter what , a family ❜
───────«•« ♔☓♔ »•»──────
THIS 'SHOOT' HAPPENED RIGHT BEFORE THE ANNOUNCEMENT STARTED . . .
SOLJI [ V. MENTOR ] : They said they'll show this as a break for our first ranking announcement. I can see the future, I bet it already is getting tense!
SUNMI [ PROJ. REP ] : I know right... I myself can't predict what my ranks would be but surely, the final moments will be bittersweet.
SOLJI [ V. MENTOR ] : Let's not drag this any longer and welcome two of our guests to talk with us during this special corner. [ claps her hands up high ] Welcome them everybody!
TWO TRAINEES JOINED THE OTHER TWO MENTORS ON THE SET !
PARK HAERIN [ TRAINEE #013/BBC ] : Specialty is smooth rapping that could steal your heart, hello I'm Park Haerin!
HONG JAEWOO [ TRAINEE #008/BBC ] : I'm Blockberry's charismatic rapper, Hong Jaewoo! [ attempts to pronounce "uwu" ] Did I say that right...?
SUNMI [ PROJ. REP ] : Oh! Both are from Blockberry, and both are rappers too! I guess that's a first we had a 'double whammy'? Instead it's not negative. We're glad to have you!
SOLJI [ V. MENTOR ] : They're doing the invites on random so I don't know... the luckier you are the 'more chances' of winning, I guess! Getting back, I was told we didn't have food last corner... anyone bringing some to our empty table?
HONG JAEWOO [ TRAINEE #008/BBC ] : I brought something different. During every corner we've watched, everyone brought food. The weather is getting colder now too so I...
THE STAFFS HANDED HOT COFFEE CUPS AND FROTHED MILK TO THE TABLE !
SUNMI [ PROJ. REP ] : Wow! Is this one of those decorated coffee things?
PARK HAERIN [ TRAINEE #013/BBC ] : Jaewoo oppa is a former barista, it's a piece of cake for him.
HONG JAEWOO [ TRAINEE #008/BBC ] : They couldn't supply me with an actual machine to do this, but if you've been working long enough even this simple of an equipment could make wonders. It's a hack, really.
PARK HAERIN [ TRAINEE #013/BBC ] : Eh, you sound so mature in front of the mentors! Even I don't act fake and still am shy during the beginning beginning in front of them and not.
HONG JAEWOO [ TRAINEE #008/BBC ] : [ gives a 'heart decorated' coffee cup to sunmi and solji ] You haven't seen me act seriously mature. [ winks ]
PARK HAERIN [ TRAINEE #013/BBC ] : [ stands up from her chair and looks to the camera ] Unnie, did you see what he did? Wah, so unbelievable really. Hyunjae oppa and Hwijoo unnie will be after you.
HONG JAEWOO [ TRAINEE #008/BBC ] : This would've been more fun if it wasn't a trainee from the same company... their reaction would be priceless, you're just being too loud. I'm making you an ugly one.
PARK HAERIN [ TRAINEE #013/BBC ] : [ gets a cup from him ] Oh look, it's a sad coffee. A 'depresso'. [ fake laughs ] HA, HA, HA. [ coughs from sipping ] I like it iced...
HONG JAEWOO [ TRAINEE #008/BBC ] : [ whispers to sunmi's direction, but audible ] She laughed at her own joke so I couldn't laugh against her. [ shakes his head ] It wasn't funny.
SUNMI [ PROJ. REP ] : Okay, you're both being loud and that's fine! It makes me think how louder this corners are going to be every time because eventually, you'll get to know more trainees as you face more missions.
SOLJI [ V. MENTOR ] : We're just laughing at the background as you quarrel. But that's the point though, this is a 'special corner' for trainees. We're just here to guide you, the spotlight is all yours, not on the mentors'.
SUNMI [ PROJ. REP ] : But as we proceed... let's move to question time! You must've known basic things about one another, but how about we something you'll never get to ask at a normal basis?
PARK HAERIN [ TRAINEE #013/BBC ] : I'll go first. What would you do if you were not training to be an idol?
HONG JAEWOO [ TRAINEE #008/BBC ] : I enjoy being around younger people and helping them, so I think I'd be a teacher or professor. Although, that isn't much different from an experience like this, where I'm older than most of the other trainees!
SOLJI [ V. MENTOR ] : Last time I checked, teachers don't wink to their students... don't mind me, just a friendly tip.
HONG JAEWOO [ TRAINEE #008/BBC ] : [ laughs ] Okay, sunbae. For, Haerin. What has been the most difficult part of being on Project X for you so far?
PARK HAERIN [ TRAINEE #013/BBC ] : Ahh.. I think the most difficult part on being in Project X is all the stress from the missions. Like—it's very scary knowing that it could be your last few moments on the show.
SUNMI [ PROJ. REP ] : What lead you to asking this deep question?
HONG JAEWOO [ TRAINEE #008/BBC ] : Uh... I myself have been struggling when it comes to being away from my family. I mean, I don't want to be eliminated yet...but I just miss them, you know?
PARK HAERIN [ TRAINEE #013/BBC ] : You still have your berry family.
SUNMI [ PROJ. REP ] : And don't forget, your Project X family too! We're also part of that big circle. Everyone, cheers with coffee cups?
THEY ALL CHEERED 'CHEERS' AND DID A TOAST WITH THEIR CUPS !
SOLJI [ V. MENTOR ] : Fun and relaxing moments unfortunately has to come to an end. Both of you, please say your final words to the viewers.
PARK HAERIN [ TRAINEE #013/BBC ] : Isn't my personality dazzling enough? You should vote for me next mission~! [ 'flower cup' pose ] Thank you so much for those who have voted for me the previous mission and those who have supported me this far! [ finger hearts ]
HONG JAEWOO [ TRAINEE #008/BBC ] : Thank you for looking out for us. Please continue supporting the show and the trainees. We appreciate all of your love!
SUNMI [ PROJ. REP ] : As the ranking announcement continues, some must leave, while others will continue on with their journey. Trainees eliminated or not and 'x producers' watching, don't forget, you're also and will always be a part of this big 'x family'. [ raises her cup to the camera ]. Cheers!

WHAT WILL BE THE FATE OF THE REMAINING TRAINEES THAT ARE NOT CALLED YET . . . ?

PROJECT X'S FIRST RANKING ANNOUNCEMENT TOP 4 (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER) !
ONLY A FEW MOMENTS AWAY TILL WE GET TO KNOW . . .
THE TRAINEE WHO WILL BE THE FIRST EVER TRAINEE SITTING ON THE HIGHEST CHAIR !
───────«•« ♔☓♔ »•»───────
〔 シャン's CORNER ! 〕
i'll be saying this in advance. this is just the beginning, i hope you wouldn't be demotivated if you are not satisfied with the ranks you have received for this evaluation ! i believe that the true joy in these kind of afs is when you get to know more people and you get to work with them in missions, not just the feeling of 'beating everybody and getting #1' while you're at it.
if your trainee will unfortunately be eliminated next chapter, remember that you can still submit posts in the update chapter if you want to (though same rule applies. first come first served, etc.) and vote using the private voting poll with your trainee # + name. because you're still considered as an 'x trainee' !
