Fast-forwarding a little, you as well as all of the other contestants were seated in a spacious viewing venue, a large cinema-like screen at the front which you faced towards. Another master would be joining you soon, and you were shocked to find Sunmi walking down the aisle. You listened to her music sometimes, and she was probably also surprised herself by the fact that so many guys knew her.

"I came to watch your first episode together," she spoke, making you a little nervous since you couldn't remember what you had said aloud exactly. The producers would occasionally interview you also to get more of a clearer idea as to what was going through your head at the time.

Many were excited just by the initial intro, yet you quietly sat there, wondering how they chose to depict everyone on screen.

At one point, it cut to Yoon Jong Woo who you had spoken to quite a bit. "Group G can't win against group K. Why? Because our roots are different."

The statement made you laugh as you looked over at the man himself who was now hiding his face from shame. "And here I thought you were a charming one, yet you go and say this," you said amusingly, him now turning to stare at you in disbelief.

The next thing you knew, the footage cut to you reacting to group K's YueHua team.

"I feel all the innocent-looking trainees are the most powerful to watch. How do I say this...I like the cute ones."

At that, you sat frozen and stared straight at the image of you exposing yourself.

"The cute ones he says! And you were saying I wasn't charming!" Jong Woo retorted back with a grin as everyone turned to look at you and laugh at your expression instead.

'What have I gotten myself into?'

"Don't misunderstand! I was talking about their performances!" You tried to explain, but inevitably gave up in the end, just accepting your fate at this point. Meanwhile, Han Yu Jin himself was sat there giving you a sceptical look. "I didn't know my hyung was into that kind of thing," he joked, making you repeatedly apologise to him.

"Honestly I'm not surprised, he seems like the domineering type" someone else said near you, making you sigh even louder.

"I'm seriously losing my mind this time," you whispered to yourself.

Thankfully, the following performances on the screen managed to distract everyone. Even though you had already watched them live, it was nice to observe from a different point of view. When it came time for Lee Da Eul's turn, he quickly fell to the floor out of embarrassment. It even made Sunmi walk away, it had such an effect.

It worsened as it now became a comparison of the blue and red houses, as the public were calling it at least in the comments. You didn't think it could reach any further extent, that is until the rendition of 'Hot' by Seventeen began to play. Others couldn't help laughing as the pitch went askew all over the place.

Suddenly, a caption came onto the screen to introduce the live voting results. The lack of warning made you sit anxiously in your seat. The votes counted for 100% of the final results and essentially your future. As each number counted down from 94, you anxiously waited for your name to show up. From what you could tell, you didn't have a lot of screen time, so you wouldn't be surprised to have a lower score.

Eventually, you found yourself to get 13th place, a good ranking in regard to the number of applicants. So for now, you were doing pretty well just with your off-stage presence.

But despite the current positive situation, we must flashback to the continuation of the events from that day of initial performances.

After the nostalgic show of a Pentagon song for Lee Hoe Taek, it was time for another confident group to take stage. They were already full of energy during the introduction which was only further proven by the just as energetic show.
