The next day, everyone got up, did their routine,  bathed and ate their breakfast. 

Just as they were about to go to practice, the alarm turned off.

"Oh, what is that?". Diya got up from the sofa when they all went outside. She just followed them as they sit on their designated seat.

When we all settled, the countdown suddenly stops.

"Please go the the gate". The voice said.

The girls looked around and confused with the sudden announcement. But there's nothing they can do so they get in the egg.

All of them got deja vu once it rotates. It brings back the first time they get inside this and witnessed the exceptional and amazing facilities.

They entered and saw the stage, not the same stage they saw on their first day and entrance test.

"Oh! Someone's here" Min ji exclaimed with her hand covering her mouth in shock.

"Who's that?". Diya asked to herself.

"He's so tall". It's Aarin. She's beside her.

"He has a attractive silhouette." Hyejin said.

"For real." Somi nodded, others girl nodding along.

It slowly revealed the Hit-maker singer and one of the producer of the show. Rain.

The girls covered their mouth when he walked towards them, they need to stop themselves from fangirling because that's not why they came here.

"Oh my God, is this really happening?". Diya finally saw the producer so close. Diya can't stop smiling even though her heart is pounding so fast.

"... I'm here to support you mentally and physically so I will drop the honorifics". With all the things that the producer said, she doesn't understand any words, she's looking at him like it's just a dream.

She does knows him, Cassy's mother loved this man right here and so Diya got to know all the gold artists. 

She go back to her senses when Rain gives everyone a hug. Diya whipped her hands on her pants, gettinf the seat away, even though there wasn't. 

And when it was her turn, he chuckled because of how short she was comparing to everyone, he had to bend down to hug her.

Diya's hands shivers a bit but she hugged him back politely and so he hugged everyone.

Diya looked down shyly after he hugged her and couldn't help but smile at her thoughts. 

She couldn't believe that she just saw the superstar, for the first time.

The producer made them dance the choreography, it's perfection, beacuse they have been doing it all day and night and they are in sync, which got Rain impressed. 

Everyone is still breathing heavily when the song ended. Producer Rain quickly made them stand in line and sing the song without letting them catch their breath.

While everyone is having a hard time, Diya could sense her goosebumps forming u and her nervous state forming in. After Cassy, it's her time. She effortlessly sang the song despite of having a hard time to breath. But Rain gave her a stern look in between her singing, she tried to hide her nervousness away but couldn't.

"Go to your formation again. Dance at the same time sing". They all run to their position.

They started to dance and sing all together, the dancing was really well but the singing get them away.

After the performance, "To be honest,  the dancing is very good! But.."

"Singing...some of them are shaky still." He looked at those girls who would stop or take deep breaths too much.

"And...lastly, Diya" Rain called her, she looked up from the floor scared to receive any bad score. "You really did well in singing."

"Oh!" That took her off guard and zhe covered her mouth, looking at him with wide eyes who just grinned.

"For real, you are a foreigner, i mean not just you most of you all foreigner here and I know it's hard to learn new language and sing in that language too. But Diya did really well, I expected rather very off tune or wrong words in your singing but you did proved me wrong." Rain smiled at the girl.

"Thank you so much sir." Diya bowed down 90 degree and chuckled at the remark, happiness tingling in her nerves.

"I hope I didn't scared you all with my gaze hm?" Rain asked jokingly.

"Ani!" They chuckled.

"Alright, so practice well get to know about everyone's performance and I hope to see a better version of yourself in the final performance. Fighting!"

"Thank you sir!" They bowed down.

At the living room, I-LANDERS are having a meeting. Discussing about the understanding among themselves and their singing. As Somi was the centre she and Hyejin will be judging people at their own parts as they sing and will tell them to improve and help them.

Everyone were still shocked and happy that we just met Rain and were still talking about him the whole time while some practiced their dancing as how Rain told some of them.

"You lot!" Hyejin clapped her hands getting the attention from everyone. "We will start the singing practice session after dinner is there a problem?"

There was silence, they wanted to rest aftwr dinner.

Hyejin looked back at Somi with a shrug and Somi sighed.
"You all don't get it did you? We have to Practice,  we are I LANDER for a reason,  to debut and if we don't practice at night then...i dont know what will happen. "

"She is telling correct." Aarin nodded.

"I understand but we have to rest." Jeena said.

"You did your resting just now." Hyejin told her.

Everyone observed the conversation, not talking when Min ji said "we'll do it."

Slowly everyone aggred to this and Somi and Hyejin smiled at them.
