It is night time and the trainees are still awake because they need to choose the Leader and Center in their next mission. The trainees are having hard time choosing the leader and center. Meanwhile, on Vocal Team, they are all sat in a horizantal line facing the camera.
“ Let’s first choose a leader. Who wants to lead this team ? “ Chen Linong asked, decided to break the silence that has been covering them since they got there.
“ Actually, I think, In terms of my personal experience, As I have been leader twice, I think when there are 4 of us, without dancing but focusing on singing, A leader should be able to do things such as harmonize and be sensitive to the sound, it’s a bit more important. “ As Trainee Han Mubo started speaking seriously as the other trainees were listening to him.
“ So I think Zhangjing is quite suitable. “ He continued. When Han Mubo mentioned You Zhangjin’s name, he reacts quite surprise.
*** Interview ***
Zhangjing : They recommend me to be the leader. I was actually quite shocked because for the longest time, I felt that I don’t think I can give others—have the ability to lead everyone. And I think a leader has to be especially responsible and usually, I am a bit, I feel that I like--- The feeling of being relaxed. So I felt a little pressured.
** End **
“ Because it wasn’t just once that I saw you leading others in practicing vocals. “ Han Mubo said. It was true, indeed. You Zhangjing was seen helping teammates in practicing vocals in the past episodes.
“ In terms of sensibility in sound or of grasping the feeling of the sound of the entire piece, perhaps he would be better than us. “ Han Mubo said. The other trainees agreed so You Zhanjing doesn’t have any chance. And he said that he can try it.
“ I’m going to put the badge on him ! “ Kim Se Yeon said eagerly. The boys laugh because of her loud voice. She’s just so silent earlier then she suddenly shout. Kim Se Yeon pick up the blue circle badge and stick it on You Zhangjing’s Right Chest. Then Se Yeon suddenly stood up and face You Zhangjing while the others all look at her expectedly.
“ Hello, Mr. Leader. “ Se Yeon said then bow 90° and the tone of her voice are like that on a historical drama when they talk to a king. The trainees laugh again because of Se Yeon’s silliness.
“ Okay we need to choose the center now. Now, let’s first raise our hands if you want to be the center. 3, 2, 1 “ You Zhangjing said and after he finished talking, he race his hand alongside with the others. They all wanted to be the center. Of course, being the center will give you more attention. And center means you are more likely to be noticed by the camera.
“ This is awkward. “ Li Quanzhe commented.
“ Why all of us ? Everyone wants to be the center. “ Chen Linong said. Since everyone raise their hands, They individually say the reason as to why they should be elected to be the center.
“ This… in the past, I often sang songs like this, this type of song as well as how to sing it, I understand it. “ Li Quanzhe said.
“ I have a bit of selfishness because in the previous episodes, when filming for the show, I was ill with a cold, so filming did not go smoothly for me. I want to grit my teeth and perform well for once. “ Han Mubo said.
“ When choosing this song, I had.. I won’t said it’s a goal. It’s a dream or a goal. I don’t know how to say it. I just want to use this song and then be the best singer in the venue. I think, in terms of controlling emotions, I think you guys can trust me that I can pull together everyone’s storyline very well. “ You Zhangjing said.
“ I am confident in singing this song because I know I can portray/display the emotions needed in this song. I made Mentor Li Ronghao cry thrice when singing and I think I really can pull such this emotion. I never had been a center once because I am not that confident but since I am performing a thing I am good at, I’m confident that I will do good. “ Kim Se Yeon stated.
“ On the stage, I, whether it’s gesture, expressions, or the ability to influence others. Comparatively, I am personally confident in these. Why I chose this song initially was because singing it, was bittersweet for me, actually. I want to express this especially. “ Chen Linong said. None of them want to back out of the chance to compete for the center position. ‘What I miss’ is the first song in vocal that was to be full.
“ Let’s get the guys next door to listen as audience. We can only do this. “ You Zhanjing said. Just that, the guys next door, Luo Zheng, Mu Ziyang and Bi Wenjun was summoned to be the judge in choosing the center. The trainees then started singing. When it was Se Yeon’s turn, Li Quanzhe and Chen Linong were grinning to her. It was hard to pick, really. All of them are good and the trio were having trouble in choosing who would be the center. But in the end, they made a conclusion. Bi Wenjun walks towards the five with the circle badge on her hand. Then he hand it politely to Kim Se Yeon with a faint blush.
“ Congratulations. “ The trainees said to Kim Se Yeon while she on the other hand, feeling pride while she sticking the badge on her sweater.
*** Interview ***
Bi Wenjun : We chose her because she sung it with a stronger feeling. The tone color of her voice makes people to feel what that song was really implying.
Mu Ziyang : My favorite part was when she sing the “who remembers” part. It touched me.
Luo Zheng : She’s just really good.
Li Quanzhe : She really suite slow and romantic songs because her voice is really sweet.
Chen Linong : I think she’s very strong. Her voice really was strong.
*** End ***

* Kim Se Yeon’s Dorm *
“ What are you doing here ? I am going to get ready to bed. “ Se Yeon said when she opens the door and saw the female staff holding a camera.
“ We just want to film what you do before going to bed. “ The staff answered. Se Yeon nod and starts to head on the bathroom with the camera following her.
“ Well, first, I will get dressed in more comfortable clothes like this one. “ Se Yeon said and motion to the clothes she’s wearing which is a Pastel Purple PJs.
“ I will braid my hair into pigtails. Then I will wash my face to clean it and remove any excess make ups. Then I will apply this scrubs to exfoliate my skin. And then I will put a mask.

Please come on stage. “ As Yixing finished his statement, The What I miss Team one by one come out to the stage. The audience were cheering loud. Then they start doing their introduction. They started with some harmonization then they introduce themselves one by one. When it is Kim Se Yeon’s turn, She curtsy.
“ Hello ! I am the Elegant Rain, Kim Se Yeon. I am in charge of the center and I hope you enjoy our elegant performance. Thank you.” Kim Se Yeon introduce with such a demure manner. The trainees back stage are sporting a faint blush. A demure and elegant-looking Se Yeon is really beautiful. The lights were turn off and when it open, The only spotlight was on Han Mubo.

“ Wow. This is really a massive surprise. Oh my god. “ Mu Zi Yang said. After some minutes of Han Mubo playing Cello, A piano then can be heard. The light scattered around revealing the other members, with Se Yeon on the side, playing piano.
“ Wow, she’s so cool. “ Mentor MC Jin commented.
Then Chen Linong started singing and then so on. When it was Se Yeon’s turn, she stood up and walk towards the other. Her Silver Crystal Crown glistening on the light.
“ She really looks like a princess. “ Mentor Cheng Xiao said.
“ Yeah, she has that vibe. “ Mentor Jie Qiong agreed.
As the chorus near, the trainees now have teary eyes. Some are having goosebumps. As the song nearing its end, suddenly, Se Yeon rose up, seating on a swing covered with white flowers. The trainees are left awestruck while the mentors and PD Zhang are smiling.

“ In it, entirely, I feel a song that was completed very well. Han Mubo, starting with the Cello, then followed with Kim Se Yeon with piano, made my eyes light up.
