I-lander's representative units can't help but took a glances at Ria. Meanwhile, Ria is looking at Sunoo while zoning out. "Ria? You good?" Sunoo asked looking worried. She did a frog blink which scared him.

"RIA! EWUHE" Sunoo said in a loud voice which made the others looked at him. "What happened?" Ni-ki asked. "The way Ria blink!" Sunoo explained. "What? What do you mean?" Nicholas said.

Ria came back to her sense and saw Sunoo looking freak out. "Why are you looking scared." She ask. "Of you! Duh." Sunoo replied. "Dang, what did I do this time." She look around just to see everyone looking at her. 

"At least explained then looking at me." She said. "He said it the way you blink." Nicholas said. "Sorry what." She look at Sunoo who looked scared. "It just a slow blinking though." She said. "Nuh uh." "Yeah uh."

They were about to start a fight before a voice came. "The representative unit test that will determine each team's fate will now begin. We'll start with vocal unit." 

"Starting first is I-Land's vocal unit."

Grounders representative units goes to their designated seats. I-Lander's on the left and Grounder's on the right. "Noona you look cold, here's my jacket." Ni-ki said as he took off his jacket and put it on Ria lap.

"Ah, it's fine! You don't need too." Ria exclaimed as she shake her head. But it's obviously not fine for her since it's very cold. "No you are definitely not. Here's my jacket as well." Nicholas said as he put his jacket on her lap.

Sunoo help them covering her. "You guys are so sweet, thank you so much!" She said as she pinch Ni-ki cheeks. "Noona, you are hurting my cheeks!" Ria released her hand and just smile at him. "Sorry!" 

Ria look at the I-lander's side, she saw them looking at her then turning their heads away. She just shrug and look towards the stage, just to see Heeseung and Geonu looking at her. Ria mouthed 'Fighting!' as she raise her hand into a fist.

They got startled a bit before nodding and just smile. Meanwhile Sunoo saw the I-landers were looking at you while smiling. "Girl, you are having the main character vibe right now." Sunoo said. She look at him with a confuse face.

"What do you mean?" She ask. "People are looking at you." He replied. "So? I don't see the problem?" Sunoo just gave her a look before shaking his head. "Yea, okay. You do you, I will do me." He said. "I think you said it in a wrong way.." She said. But Sunoo just ignored her.

"Stand by."

They all focused on I-Lander's performances. They were impressed. "They're really good!" Ni-ki said. "I'm getting nervous." Sunoo said as he grip Ria hand. "Don't worry we can do this!" Sunoo look at her as he was observing her.

"Do you have 2 face or what?" Sunoo said. "Sorry what?" Ria look at him with a confuse face. "Your expression.. Here and in the Ground is so, different." He said. "When we get back to Ground I will literally slap you." 

Sunoo laugh nervously. "No thank you!" He said.  "Grounder's vocal unit, Get into position."

Before they go on the stage they cheer. "Grounders run for your dream. Fighting!" They said in a loud whispered. Sunoo goes to his position while Ria following him behind his back. "Good luck." She look to her left and saw Sunghoon and K smiling at her. She smiled back as she went into her position.

"Stand by."

When the melody start to play. Ria and Sunoo expression changed. They start to perform, both of them sang and dance with their heart and soul. Sunoo was overwhelmed by Ria voice. Everyone was amazed by their voice, movements and how both of their expression really hit the song concept. It was beautiful and overwhelming performances for them.

Everyone was speechless as they applaud from Ria and Sunoo performances. They bowed and went off the stage. "You cried?" Ria said ask she saw Sunoo crying. "Hey, it because I was overwhelmed by your voice!" Sunoo explained. "Look who's the 2 face now." 

"Ria! I swear I will slap you too when we get back!" Sunoo said. "What? It true." She said. Ni-ki, Nicholas and Jaeho went to Ria and Sunoo and hug them. "Your guys voice is so good!" Ni-ki exclaimed.

"Did you guys change when you're on the stage? Like I saw a different person on the stage." Jaeho said in amazed. Nicholas and Ni-ki were starting to tear up. "Aw, you don't need to cry! You'll perform soon!" Ria said.

Meanwhile I-lander's were still amazed by their performances. "They were true about Ria blowing our mind away." K said as he watch the Grounders hugging each other. "I can't relate." 
"Her voice sound like a lullaby."

Vocal units are standing on the stage, waiting for their results. Sunoo held Ria hand. "No matter what the results is, I enjoy performing with you." Sunoo said while smiling. Ria just smile at him before gripping his hand.

"Now we're going to announce the results of the vocal performances." They look down, doesn't want to see the results since they're not that confident yet. "I-Land's vocal unit score is . . . 81"

'That's a high score. I hope we got it good.' Ria thought as she was gripping Sunoo neck.  "Ground's vocal unit score is . . . 90" They open their eyes and look at each other with a shock expression. 

"WAIT DID YOU HEAR THAT?" Sunoo ask looking at her excitedly. "Naur." She look behind her to see a screen showing Grounder's score. "Oh!" 

Sunoo hugged her and she hugged back. "I thought we gonna lose for a second!" Sunoo said. Ria just pat his back. "See? I knew we gonna make it thru." Ria said. The I-landers applaud and was smiling since grounder's performaces was amazing.

"You guys deserved it honestly." Heeseung said as he raise his hand to shake with hers. "Thank you, you guys did an amazing performance too." Ria said as she look at his hand. "You can give me a hug then a hand shake." Ria said.

He laugh a bit before hugging her. Geonu went up to her. "It finally nice to meet you in person! And your performance was great." Geonu said as he went closer to her to give her a hug.  "Thank you! You did very good on the stage." Ria replied

They all went back to their seats. Ni-ki, Nicholas and Jaeho went up to Sunoo and Ria, They hugged them. "The table has been turned!" They said. Ria just smile as she hugged them back. "Guys, release the beast inside of you when you guys are doing the performance!" Ria said, cheering for them.

"Show it to them of how good you guys are!" Sunoo said, in an agree tone. 

"Next is the Grounders dance performace stage."

They did their cheer before the dance unit goes up to the stage.
