South Korea

They finally arrived and went out of the van.

Team 1Million saw them getting out of the van and was curious who's inside because the van doesn't look like an ordinary van. It's big and looks comfortable even from the outside. Similar to those vans used by artists.

JR realized that 1Million was waiting for them so they hurried up.

"Hi guys! Good morning! How are your days so far? Thank you for waiting for us." She said in Korean while smiling as she initiated a conversation with 1Million.

"It's a bit tiring so far as we went home late last night and slept late and yet we had to wake up early to travel here." Injeong answered

"You guys live far?" PK asked

"Kind of. Some of us live near, but some of us have to travel at least an hour to get into the studio where we meet up"

"That's hard" Bella said, Carlyn has been translating everything to them so they understood everything.

"Yeah, maybe if you guys want it, you could sometimes stay in our house and we could just head here altogether if you finish late. Or we could ask one of our drivers to drive you into your studio when needed."

All of them suddenly stopped walking and looked at Carlyn surprised

"Wait, really?" Haneul asked

"Of course, these girls stayed there last night and planning on staying there until the competition ends."

"if that's the case, wouldn't we be crowded there"

"Oh, don't underestimate Carlyn's house. Every team could fit in there with no problem at all and sleep comfortably." PK said

"Yeah, saw that van we were in earlier? Those are just one of their vans, they have a bigger ones at home. Where do you even use that?"

"oh, we use those whenever we travel with our helpers." Carlyn answered shyly because the girls flexed their house and vehicles.

"You're that rich?!" Somin asked

"I am not rich, but my parents are. Those were all product of their years of hardwork" Carlyn said with pride

They finally reached their headquarters but before entering

"Think about my offer, guys! Let me know" Carlyn said

"Okay, we'll let you know" Injeong answered

They entered their room and started getting ready. They wore their costumes which are black and pink and did their makeups while Carlyn was just spacing out because she doesn't know how to use those.

"Yah, Carlyn! Are you still with us" Nika asked laughing

"What? Oh? Yes, I'm here" she answered in a hurry

Everyone in the room laughed at the girl

"Won't you apply your makeup?" Bella asked

"Bella~ don't you remember that she doesn't know how to use these?" Sienna answered while pointing at the table with makeup

"Oh, come here, Lyn! I'll do yours" Miyabi volunteered to do Carlyn's makeup as she was done with hers already.

They're doing their own makeup because this performance doesn't really need extravagant makeup and costumes but they decided to put on more effort.

"Tada!" Miyabi said as soon as she finished applying makeup to Carlyn

"Carlyn-san, how could you look this pretty? Is this even legal?" Ria joked

"I now wonder how the others would react seeing you in makeup because I remember their reactions when they say you enter the waiting room the first time during the audition and you don't have any makeup that time" PK said giggling

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

They were all finally called to showcase their performances. The last one to enter the studio was Jam Republic, Carlyn being the last one to enter from the team.

Everyone watched them to sit in their place and someone suddenly pointed out Carlyn wearing makeup.

"Carlyn so pretty!" Nara said

"How come it is possible for her to become prettier?!" Said Rana

"I guess the creator above really does have favorites" Hyerin joked and exclaimed while looking so defeated

"Too pretty, I hope we doesn't make an eye contact later when we perform. I might get distracted." Chaehyeong said unconsciously and everyone in Hook paused, looked at her and said

"WHAT?"

"Nah, just kidding. This human right here is tough" she answered while slapping her upper chest multiple times as if showing them how hard-hearted she is.

Little did they know, the masters were watching the entire time and was just laughing at everyone's reaction in seeing Carlyn with makeup on.

But their laughter was louder when they saw team Hook's reaction to what Chaehyeong said.

"Oh Seo Chaehyeong-ssi, that doesn't seem like a joke" Aiki said doubtful while tilting her head a bit before laughing.

Everyone again laughed at this.

"But really, Carlyn's really eye-catching even before. She have the simpliest outfit, yet all the attention is on her." Lia said

"I agree. But wasn't she wearing any makeup when she auditioned? She was really standing out that day. When we entered and got introduced, she caught our attention" Bada said

"Nope, nothing was in her face that time. And do you know that she doesn't really know how to put on makeup?" Kirsten asked

"The girls teased her during the first day because she wasn't familiar with how to use the PeriPera products that were given to them" She added that made every masters shocked

"wait, it is possible for kids these days to not know how to use lipsticks and lip tints?" Gabee asked

"I guess so, because Carlyn is an example. I guess one of the girls did her makeup today" Kirsten answered, giggling

"Too many surprises are coming out of this one girl huh?" Funky Y stated

"And there are more to expect" Kirsten said focusing at the screen in front of them, smiling like a proud mom.
