===========================

"Are you ready?" The staff asked worriedly as you drank water.

"Yes." You sighed feeling the weight of the future dawning on you. "it's not like I have a choice." You explained with a sad smile as you put the water bottle down on the floor.

===========================

Your concept is up to you!

===========================

"Hello, I'm (Name) and I came from (country name)."

"I can speak (-) languages and I am mostly fluent in them." You winked. "although my English is better than the other languages." You hid your face as soon as you finished talking.

Clearing your throat, and with a smile you said in English "Remember my name (name) the trainee that will steal your hearts and votes." You said as you winked and pointed at the camera.

"I am here to participate in 'Boy's Planet' to debut Although I am handsome, I would like you to focus on my talents. I am here to show my talents such as singing and dancing."

"Let me show you how great I am."

Pulling out your medals and certificates you boasted "I don't only have the talents but I also have the brain and optimistic-ness' definitely a word'. I consistently ranked 1st in anything I participate in, yeah" You laughed as you felt your ears turn red with shame the longer you talked. "that's right I'm smart." You said as you let your medals fall to the table beside you "Ok, enough boasting I might actually just talk about all of my awards." You said as you shuddered with the thought of you just showing off for a whole minute.

"I'll show you my talent in singing right now." You said as you stood in the middle of the room with a smile that made you look more handsome than you thought you were.

"(Song choice)"

You laughed as you squatted down trying to catch your breath, not facing the camera, far too shy to even look. With a giggle 'I need to make it..', you jumped from your squatted position to standing upright.

"Thank you for watching!" You bowed and immediately stood straight again as you smiled at the camera "And please vote for me!" You said as you waved at the camera while the doors close on you. With time waiting you pose multiple times as if you were being pictured. (Lol)

When it fully closed you could feel your whole face heat up as you recall what you did. You didn't do much for other people, but for you, you did too much. 'I need to attract attention' You thought as you sighed in your head, although you were still embarrassed you needed to

'Why did it come to this.....'

'I need to at least make it to the top 18....' You thought as you recalled your vivid dream last night.

'I'm pretty sure he just boasted about his medals.'

'The concept ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ'

'The giggle after singing ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ'

=======================

"Hello, I'm (Name) I came from (country name)."

You looked down at the table and noticed that all of the things on the table were ingredients to make a cocktail with no alcohol. You looked back at the camera and dropped your head right after. While closing your eyes and as you sighed you said, "Please start..."

Picking up the champagne glass, you took the lemon piece and dipped the edges of the glass on it, and then you dipped the glass into the salt.

You looked at the camera again as if pleading for a helping hand, looking like a lost (animal). And then you took the lemon and put it on top of the lemon squeezer with great difficulty. And then you pushed it to squeeze the lemon juice out of it. You did one more for good measure and then put the lemon juice in the cocktail shaker.

You then added 10 pumps of syrup, added 4 ice cubes, and closed the lid. While shaking it you were thinking of what was next, you were confused, it's not like every day you make an alcohol-free cocktail. You looked at the camera and said "I don't know what I'm doing." with the monotonous voice you could muster and continued shaking the shaker.

You then opened it after multiple shakes, stared at it for a while since you were confused if you really needed to do this, and poured the drink into the champagne glass. Taking the sparkling water beside you opened it and poured it into the glass, taking a piece of mint and putting it near the edge of the glass for a complete look. Completing your task successfully you rang the bell. You were proud, the first time you made an alcohol-free cocktail and you did great.

"Here's the alcohol-free cocktail made by yours truly." You said with a closed eye smile and furrowed brows. As much as you were proud you made it flawlessly you were also confused 'If I knew being a barista would be so easy I would've been a barista.' You thought as you waited for further instructions. 'Wait, there's probably more drinks I need to memorize before I become a barista.' You thought as you looked at your drink contemplating your career choices

The people behind the camera instructed you to drink the cocktail you'd made and with a smile, you said "Of course." Your eyes widened as you coughed hard, hard enough you think you could've coughed your voicebox out, It tasted too sweet so sweet you were pretty sure you had diabetes right there and then. You looked at the camera and said "It's too sweet." As you swallowed the remaining cocktail that remained on your mouth the aftertaste attacked your throat as the sweetness clung to your throat making you want to cough your throat out, you turned around to hide your coughing from the camera while holding onto the wall for support. "TOO SWEET!" You coughed out, the camera following as you fell to your knees,

When the video ended a staff immediately helped you stand up and gave you water. "Thank you." You said, feeling grateful for the water that just saved your throat from dying. "How many pumps of syrup did I add...?" You asked already knowing you added too much. "You added ten pumps." The staff answered truthfully as they cleaned the table. "Oh." You can already feel the diabetes inside you.

--------------------------------

"The other trainees didn't even make it past the shaker....but he made it perfectly with time to spare...you have my vote."

"I'm rolling on the floor
Coughing crazily while still looking good and not even saying goodbye ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ"

"This man right here said he always topped first in any competition..."

~"He's also the same man that danced to (song) after saying that ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ"

"BRO WAS DYING, WHERE WAS HELP??"

"Effortlessly funny....let's debut"

"THE DRAMATIC TURN AND FALLING MADE ME CACKLE HAHAHHAHA"
