"Announcement for Breakthrough! Announcement for Breakthrough!" the robotic voice of MC Bot said through the speakers as both groups finished their meetings. "New room distributions wait for you at the trainee dorm. Find out if you have new roommates!"

It had completely taken them aback since they were not expecting it whatsoever, so they quickly rushed to the dorms, with the mentors, C1K and the camera operators following them to see what had changed. The first floor remained the same - with Zia and Juna sharing a room, and Xia and Iku sharing the other-, but on the second floor they saw the first changes.

"Oh, Minako is now my roommate!" Nari said after seeing the nameplates. "Eunae, no more '09 liners!"

"Who's going to be my roommate now, then?" Heejin asked confused.

"I guess me!" Eunae told her. "Lihua and Juiyu are in the same room again, which means that the only ones that changes were Minako and I."

"A whole announcement just for this?" Xia asked confused yet laughed. "I was expecting a whole new distribution."

"Me too, I'm not going to lie," Zia agreed. "I guess it was just to try to pair up the people from the same group but, anyway, now that we are all gathered, we should also talk about how we'll split up tonight since the boys don't fit inside the mentor's bedroom with A.Jin, Kasai and Hikaru here."

Since the beds in the mentor's dorm were bunkbeds and there were only four, even if they all paired up they would still need more space, meaning that either they went to one of the girls' dorms or they had to look for a place to stay that night.

"The most logical thing is that the mentors stay in the mentor's bedroom and the boys join us since it will most likely be more comfortable for everyone that way," Heejin said. "It's just since we've known each other for longer, don't get me wrong."

"We understood. Don't worry," A.Jin assured her.

"I volunteer as a tribute to take the couch in the common room," Lou told them. "For real, I just don't want to share a bed."

"Hikaru and I can share a bed," Kasai told him. "It's not like we don't sometimes do that in the dorms when we can't be bothered to go to our rooms."

"Then A.Jin, Kasai, Hikaru, Jax and Lou settled?" Juiyu asked and they nodded. "Okay, then Duyi, Axel, Joontae and Kiwoo should see where they go."

"Can I go with my sister?" Axel asked. "Joontae and Heejin have also known each other for many years, so it makes the most sense."

"You witty idiot..." Jax muttered under his breath, knowing fully well that he had seized his opportunity.

"Fine by me," Heejin shrugged.

"Sure thing," Eunae agreed. "Then Duyi and Kiwoo, where will you go?"

"Wherever you allow us," Duyi told them.

It was more than clear that he wanted to be in Juiyu's room, but he could not be obvious about it and hoped that the girls would get the hint, which they thankfully did as Lihua volunteered and Juiyu shrugged nonchalantly, meaning they would go there.

"If we are all settled, then, off we go! It's already past midnight," Heejin said, checking the time. "Onyx in studio two at nine tomorrow."

"Aye, aye, captain!" the Onyx girls said.

"Sapphire... let's continue talking about the idea for the song in the practice room," Xia told her team as the leader. "Let's meet at nine as well."

"All right!" the rest of the team agreed.

Already just with that they gave away the overall feeling of both teams. While Onyx had already talked about the idea for the song Sapphire had yet to even agree on a topic, so they were far behind in a competition where time was precious. Still, they left their worries for their next day and went to their rooms -Minako, Eunae and C1K going to their original ones to pick up their things before moving-.
