The 13 Leaders

Sixteen

"Please welcome ASTRO to the stage, preforming Baby!" Eric announced after Ateez had cleared off the stage.

Baby was a much different song compared to Say My Name, it was quite the switch. "They really can pull off cute concepts." Dk said as he watched them preform the opening.

"I mean with those costumes, and those faces. It couldn't be hard for them to pull off ANY concept." Jun said.

"This song is so cute and fun!" Seungkwan said playfully nudging Hoshi as the 2 bopped along to the catchy melody.

"Its too short of a song. I wish it went on forever." Joshua said as they cleared off the stage, taking nearly 10 leaf blowers to blow the confetti off the stage.

"And please welcome ONEUS with 808!" Eric announced the 6 boys.

"They are really good! And did you hear Leedo's voice! I swear it got deeper since last week!" Jeonghan said taking putting his shoes on, knowing they'd be called back to the stage soon.

And they were right after Oneus finished and the stage was cleaned. Seventeen entered from stage right and stood off to the left side of the stage.

"Welcome back to SBOS. And right now we are about to find out this rounds winner!" Eric announced as applause filled the auditorium.

The Seventeen boys held their breath as the white light flicked in between all the groups, before landing over Oneus's heads.

"In 7th place... Oneus." Eric said as we applauded them.

"I'm 6th place... Astro."

"Baby was still a banger." Dino said to Joshua who nodded in agreement. (My inner Aroha is showing if you couldn't tell.)

"In 5th place... Ikon" Eric said as the blue light landed on the 7 boys.

"And in 4th place... Straykids!" Eric said as the green light landed on the 8 other boys.

"In 3rd place... Seventeen!" Eric said as the 13 of them gasps, this was much better than the first round. They all cheered and shared a quick group hug in celebration.

"In 2nd place... Nct!" Eric announced, the orange light flicking onto 7 of the youngest members in Nct.

"And I'm proud to announce in First Place goes too Ateez!" Eric said as the red light flashed over the heads of the 8, who were jumping and cheering in excitement.
