"I will now announce the results, starting from 8th place and finishing with 9th. 9th will be placed into the Last stand vs Ho Jung. I will then reveal the first and second place achievers" JYP announces.
"In 8th place is, Sim Hyun-Shik" JYP announces. Hyun-Shik's name appears at the number 8 spot on the blank leaderboard. "In 7th place is, Nam Youngjae who performed I'll be back by 2PM" Jackson Wang announces. His name then appears at number 7. Sunmi then stands up and announces 6th place. "Next, the 6th place contestant is Seol Young with Fanclub's 'Search for a dream" Seol Young's name then appears at number 6. "5th place is Sim Kyu-Bong" JYP then calls, Kyu-Bong was delighted with his result. 4th place went to Hayashi, while I ended up getting 3rd. The judges praised my efforts, but in the end, I was beaten out by two outstanding dancers. "I will now announce the person who will be going to the last stand!" JYP says. "The one being sent to the Last Stand this time round is..... Ra Chan-Wook!" JYP says. Chan-wook's head drops, he bows to the judges and steps back. we console him, but we knew that it was coming soon. His performances just haven't been good enough. Finally, it came down to the final two. DongBang or Akira, who would win?
"While our last two performers were outstanding, one was slightly better than the other. One lacked a certain amount of fluidity in their dance. The other was almost perfect. First place goes to..." JYP says, leaving us in suspense. "DongBang Kyong!" JYP announces his name. It was inevitable. No one can dance better than DongBang, and he has just gone and proven it to everyone. We all go over and congratulate him. He is smiling from ear to ear. He bows to the judges and thanks to them. Following that the filming ends. Chan-wook and Ho Jung now have a week to prepare their last stand. They will film it separately from us. We will have to watch it remotely. From there we were given some free time. I immediately used this chance to call So-Yeon and Seungri out for a hangout. They accepted it immediately.
About one hour later, I am hanging out at the park with Ha Seungri and Kim So-Yeon. "Thanks for your suggestions and help the past couple of weeks So-Yeon, it really helped" I thank her for her help.
"It's no issue, that's what friends are for right?" She brushes it off. I don't like it though. I feel guilty if I don't do anything for the person who helped me figure out the solution to my problem. That's why I had bought her a gift. "That won't do," I say out loud. "You've helped me, so I have to pay you back," I say taking a package out of my bag. It's small. About the size of my palm. I hand it to her. "This gift is my way of saying thank you, please take it," I ask. She refuses at first, but I insist so much that she ends up taking it. "Dude, just propose to her if you're gonna be like that!" Ha Seungri jokes. "What?!!?" So-Yeon reacts. I just look at him like he's an idiot. "Don't say things like that! You know that So-Yeon hates people joking about those things!" I say hitting him on the back of the head. So-Yeon has had bad experiences in the past with people trying to force her into marriage. She absolutely despises jokes or just discussions about it now.
"You're right, I'm sorry So-Yeon, I didn't mean anything by it" Ha Seungri apologises.
"It's ok, just please, let's not talk about it," She says, putting my gift into her bag to open it later. From there we spent another couple of hours walking around and just having fun. I also went and visited my Aunt and Uncle for the first time in a while. Upon seeing me my aunt assaulted me with a large amount of verbal ammunition. "How could you not call or visit us in the last 5 months?????" "What happened to you coming to visit on the weekends? Huh? Also, why did;t you tell us about the survival show?" My Aunt was furious. I had to explain to them that we had been told not to reveal it to anyone, and I hadn't been able to leave the dorm unless we were filming for the last while. I apologised profusely and promised to visit and contact them more often.
The rest of my day was spent back in the dorm writing music and preparing for whatever was to come next. I was also trying to create a little more entertaining content for the cameras in the dorm so that the staff had a little more to work within the other filler episodes that they make. One was me sitting in the studio and teaching the viewers the basics of production software. I also played songs on a guitar and piano for them. DongBang, Hayashi and I all played cards together on camera, we had a try not to laugh challenge. Hyun-Shik even organised a couple of small games that we played amongst each other, for our entertainment and the viewers. It was fun and kept us busy for the next while. Of course, I did;t forget to hang out with my friends and family at the same time. My Aunty was seriously terrifying when she was angry, and I wanted to avoid that at all costs.
It was around early February that we had our next proper challenge released. I was in the studio, listening to some music when we were called into the living room by EVE. "All trainees report to the living room for the next challenge!" She announced. We all gathered in the Living room and prepared to receive our next challenge. "Welcome trainees, to your next challenge!" EVE states. Suddenly the lights dim and turn pink. The TV screen turns on.
