When JYP announced the last monthly evaluation, the trainees were shocked.

"We are doing a duo evaluation?"

"Since when did they do a duo evaluation?"

"I barely know some of you guys."

Somi lowers her voice to you and your friends.

Somi: The six of us had that photoshoot for no reason?!

You: Chill, Somi. Maybe there is an explanation...?

JYP: For the evaluation of this month in two weeks, you will choose your partner and any song choice. English, Korean, no matter the language. Now, please pair up with your partner and confirm who it is to the directors or me.

Before you know it, all the trainees ended up running towards you.

"Heyoon, let's pair up!"

"Please be my partner!"

"Our composing skills might blow everyone up!"

"Unnie, let's work together!"

"No! Be my partner!"

You: Sorry, you guys. Shin Ryujin is on top of my list.

Since you apologized nicely, the trainees were understanding. You walk up to Ryujin, who is smirking.

Ryujin: I am on top of your list, huh?

You: If I am on yours, then yes.

The two of you walk up to JYP.

JYP: Names?

You: Kim Heyoon.

Ryujin: And Shin Ryujin.

You: PDnim, I have a question. What about the group that I prepared? The one with me, Somi, Yeji, Lia, Ryujin, and Chaeryeong?

JYP: Patience, Heyoon. I need to make sure you and the girls are skilled enough to be in a group.

You sigh.

You: Alright, kamsahamnida.

You and Ryujin head to the corner of the room to sit.

Ryujin: Are you alright, unnie?

You: No. It has been eight years, and still no sign of my debut.

Ryujin starts to comfort you.

JYP: Once you have confirmed your partner, you are free to leave to prepare for your evaluation.

The trainees bow before exiting.

...

Throughout the ride...

You and Ryujin were in your car, driving home.

Ryujin: Any ideas of what song to perform?

You: I have a lot.

You take out your phone and open the music app before giving it to Ryujin.

Ryujin: Whoa, that is a lot.

She taps on a song, causing it to play in your car.

It's 11:11
oneuri han kani chae an nameun geureon shigan
uri soweoneul bilmyeo utteon geu shigan
byeolge da neol tteooreuge haji...

Ryujin: "Taeyeon sunbaenim - 11:11." When did you start listening to this?

You: Late January.

Ryujin starts to have flashbacks.
