After we came back from saying goodbye to Taki, which included lots of tears, the system told us to sit down as there was one more thing we had to do.  "Now, the rankings of the eleven I-Landers have been decided.  The ranks will be applied to everything in I-Land until the next test result," I couldn't help but feel a little excited.  This is the first time I've gotten first in part two.  So, who knows what benefits I could get this week?  Especially with it being the second to last test.

The screen changed once again showing our units.  The main part that was different was Taki's missing card in Chamber 5.  We all looked at each other in confusion.  I had completely forgotten about the team ratios during this test. "Due to the elimination, the two units will be rearranging the members to adjust the number of members in one unit."

"But how?" Jay asked, leaning forward.

"The winner of the global viewers votes will get the ability to choose the unit member."

"Wait what?" I sat up straight in my seat and stared at the screen.  "I get to pick?" I asked again as everyone stared at me.

"I-Lander Song Chaeri, out of the six members of the Flame On unit, choose one person to move to the Chamber 5 unit."

I sunk in my seat feeling the six boys of Flame On turn and look at me.  I could none of them wanted to move units. "I have to choose one of them?" I muttered as I crossed my legs.

Sunoo tapped my chair, "Chae, who are you going to choose?" He asked quietly.

"I don't know!" I complained, running a hand through my hair.  I looked at all of them.  I thought about Niki or Daniel, they were the maknaes and Daniel did really well in Pretty U.

"Noona, don't you dare keep looking over here!" Niki said loudly, snapping me out of my thoughts. "I'm not cute!" I couldn't help but laugh.  Sure, he wasn't.

"Ah but Daniel did good in Pretty U," I shrugged, eyeing the boy next to Niki.

"And I lost my soul!" Daniel argued. "Seriously! Noona, I'm serious! Please don't choose me!" He rambled, holding his hands together.

Jake laughed, "Daniel, she's got a point, you did good in Pretty U."

"Hyung, please be quiet!" Daniel pleaded, covering his face and making everyone laugh.

I turned to Jay who was the closest Flame On member to me, "Should I give you the honor?" I joked.

Jay's eyes widened, "I will cry harder than I did during I&Credible," He threatened, to which I only hummed.  The other boys whispered among themselves, trying to guess who I was going to pick.

"Ah, okay, I've decided," I announced, getting out of my seat. I couldn't help but laugh a little bit.  This was going to be fun.

"Oh, we're all screwed," K concluded as all six members of Flame On tried their best to be as unnoticeable as possible.

"Choose someone good, Chae!" Jungwon cheered making Chamber 5 laugh.

I clasped my hands together as I looked at the screen, "For the new Chamber 5 member," I let out a small sigh, "Please don't hate me," I mumbled, knowing that this could genuinely screw with the other unit's plans. "I choose I-Lander Park Sunghoon,"

"...What?" I turned around and smiled at Sunghoon as he died in his seat.  I felt really bad, but Sunghoon did do really well during Pretty U, and I think he had the skills to handle the transition between concepts the best.  He was reliable and hard-working, which was perfect for how little time we had left.

The screen made the changes accordingly, moving Sunghoon's card over to Chamber 5's side, and finalizing the change in members. "The concept test will take place in five days," The system announced once I sat down.
