ep. 10 | teamwork test

the 12 watched the screen as the midpoint of the global votes were being announced. currently, Sunoo, HeeSeung, SungHoon, and Ta-Ki had been called— making NaRi feel that much more nervous.

c'mon guys did y'all not get the telepathic message about the rings-

"fifth place I-LANDER, Kim NaRi."

hehehehe... about the rings.... hehehehe....

as she watched K, Jay and Ni-Ki not get placed within the debut group, her eyebrows furrowed. are they not looking at skills when voting? they all need to be in the top 5 at least. okay now PLEASE read my mind, viewers... please get those three a higher ranking and i'll but you a necklace </3

NaRi felt no ounce of happiness as she put her nameplate on the 5 chair and the debut group badge. she flicked her eyes back and forth from the floor and the three lowest ranked boys, feeling a mix of both sadness and anger.

she watched as the screen announced the third test: Concept Test. excitement started building up in her system, anxious to see what their next task would be. the groups were announced as one of 6, the other of 5.

"we will now reveal the mini-mission to decide the units." mini mission? what would we do- her thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a "say the name, seventeen. hi, we're SEVENTEEN!" coming from the screen.

"HYUNGIES!" NaRi said upon seeing SEVENTEEN'S Performance Unit. her eyes sparkled with pure joy, a moment viewers fell in love with.

during the time of I-Land, very few people knew NaRi was close with the 13-membered SEVENTEEN. since her brother trained with them, she spent a lot of time around the group— especially Performance Unit.

she'd even received a mini version of their team ring because she was considered their unofficial maknae. when she wasn't with either of the BigHitEnt groups, she was in Gangnam-gu with the large group either practicing with them, in the studio with Woozi, or even on the set of their GoSe episodes.

she watched her hyungies with wide eyes, mouth falling to the floor when she heard they'd be visiting in 24 hours. NO WAY. NO WAY. NaRi intently watched the screen, eager to find out what song she'd be performing. she saw her picture flip over on the HIT side, energy boosting up immediately. another truth, NaRi had practiced the song with the group countless times, so she had no worries about how she'd do.

hmm.. i wonder how the Pretty U unit's doing....

as the HIT unit sat watching SEVENTEEN's practice video, NaRi danced along with them in the video. the boys switched their gazes back and forth from the video, to NaRi, back to the video. she was matching along perfectly.

"wow NaRiii~!" they cheered her on, stunned by her abilities. the boys finally got up, deciding to make the formation first. "i'm gonna play as MyungHo, okay? okay." she said brightly, already in her spot.

the next morning she stood in the bathroom with the boys, intently watching Sunoo do everyone's hair. she then went with her unit, laughing at the boy's failed attempts at doing their own hair. "ahhh cute~" she cooed, taking the heating tool from their hands and fixing their hair for them.

since she was so much shorter than all of them, she had found a stool to stand on so they wouldn't have to bend every which way to come eye-level with her.

she lazily practiced with the boys, a smile on her face as SEVENTEEN's Performance Unit came on the screen. oh, what viewers were in for.

"Jun and MyungHo, I-Land has a lot of foreigners.. maybe you can give them some helpful advice." Hoshi told the 'China Line' of SVT.
