Time Check : 9:30 PM CST

Intense Footsteps and Heavy Breathing can be heard inside a particular Room. Music blasted and her own voice are following the fast rhythm. It was quite hard for Se Yeon to keep her voice stable while dancing to the routine they have taught her. The first verse is kinda okay since the dance isn’t so intense but when the ‘whistle’ part is over, there comes the biggest obstacle Se Yeon encountered. It really seems that YG really thought about the routine so hard. It was impossible to sing stable in this kind of choreography. She can sing but she’s having a hard time doing it while dancing hard. But practice makes it perfect so she keeps practicing ever since PD Zhang gave the mission. She felt burdened since she’s doing it solo and she felt nauseous because of so many thoughts floating in her mind overlapping each other in a matter of seconds. She wants to do it perfectly because it was from YG. YG is one of the big 3 in Entertainment Industry and performing one of its own creation is a big pressure for Se Yeon. She always wants to be a YG Trainee but their concept doesn’t fit her so well. She’s not bad ass on stage. She cannot look like bad ass and cannot perform it that way as she thought. YG Entertainment Trainees always have swag. She respects them. She’s not only doing it because of the company it came from but also because she wants to win the show. She wants to be part of the group. She, herself doesn’t know why they accepted her if this was a Boy Group Survival Show. But maybe, just maybe, if she’ll win, it will become Mix Group. Her CEO thought that if she debut in China first, then she will gain more fans before her official debut in Korea. China has a huge market and they thought that it will be good for Se Yeon if she started on that country. It was kinda awkward at first because she’s the only girl competing against the guys but she managed. Her train of thoughts stopped when she heard consecutive knocks. The door suddenly opens revealing a bare face Cai Xu Kun.

“ You’re still practicing ? We’re going outside to eat. You want to come ? “ Cai Xu Kun asked softly. Se Yeon stopped dancing for a minute.

“ Who ? “ Asked Se Yeon while catching her breathing.

“ Me, Zhengting, Justin, Chaoze, Zhangjing, Quanzhe, Linong and Cheng Cheng. You want to come ? “ Cai Xu Kun said. Se Yeon think for a moment if she will come or decline to continue practicing. She’s going to decline but her stomach says otherwise.

“ Okay. But are we allowed to go out ? “ Se Yeon asked.

“ Yes. And besides, we’re just going out for a short period of time. “ Cai Xu Kun said. In the end, Se Yeon agreed then they make they way out the Camp.

The Guys and Se Yeon went to a Night Market near the Camp. They were all wearing thick clothes and matching black cap and white mask. They stroll around the night market, stopping every once in a while to eat.

“ Oh ? Look. That looks very cute. “ Se Yeon chimed, fangirling over a sterling bracelet. They stopped in a Jewelry Shop.

“ How much is this ? “ She asked the Owner of the shop.

“ ¥139 each. “ The Owner of the shop said.

“ Is this the thing that you can engraved your name in it ? “ Se Yeon asked. The Owner nod her head.

“ How much will it cost if you will the one who will engraved letters in it ? “ Se Yeon asked again. The owner said that it was included on the price. Se Yeon’s head turn to look at the guys.

“ Let’s buy one and have our names engraved on it ! Don’t worry, it’s on me. “ Se Yeon cheerfully said that makes the guy’s mouth left ajar. It was quiet expensive and there are 9 of them. It was way expensive. Before they can react, Se Yeon already payed for it and are having the names engraved on it.

“ How long will it take ? “ Se Yeon asked.

“ 30 mins. “ The Owner answered in polite manner.

“ For all of that ? “ Se Yeon asked again to make sure they were clear. The Owner nodded while engraving letters to the Bracelets using a metal thing and a Hammer.

“ We’re going back after 30 mins. Is that okay ? “ Se Yeon asked politely. The Owner answered ‘Yes’ in polite manner again.

“ Come on ! Let’s go somewhere and we’ll be back after 30 mins. “ Se Yeon said to the guys and pull them to the other direction.

“ Se Yeonnie, Is it too expensive ? “ Linong asked, referring to the bracelets.

“ Ah ? No no. It’s okay. Don’t worry about the price. Just promise me that you will wear it forever ! “ Se Yeon said.

“ Of course. That’s so expensive and one thing, it came from you. “ Cheng Cheng said. Se Yeon laugh because of his cheezyness.

“ Aigoo~~ Cringe~~ “ Se Yeon said in hangeul. The Yuehua boys understand it so clearly because they can understand Hangeul while the other boys are so clueless. Se Yeon laugh because of their clueless face and starts to speak more korean just to annoy them. They are having a good time that they didn’t notice that there’s someone taking pictures of them.

*** Major Fastforward ***

It was the time for the performance. Se Yeon wait patiently for her turn, watching the other trainees perform on the stage while stuffing her face with gummy bears. Then when it was her turn, the staff told her to standby on the backstage. The trainees saying ‘Jiayou’ while she makes her way on the Backstage. It was really surprising for the Trainees. They can’t even recognize her because of her makeup and outfit for today. It’s like Se Yeonnie who loves wearing cute clothes suddenly disappear and Kim Se Yeon replaced her.


“ Last but not the least

“ Last but not the least. The only girl and the solo performer. Let’s invite her now. “ PD Zhang said and the fans cheer for Se Yeon while she make her way towards the center.

“ Dà Jiā Hâo~ I am Kim Se Yeon. I won’t say anything because I knew you already know me. “ Se Yeon introduced with a bow and a smile. The Fans cheered again. Despite of her outfit kinda dark, she’s still has that innocent glow on her eyes.

“ So next, The stage is yours. “ PD Zhang said and left the stage. Se Yeon goes to her position which is on the center. She’s facing back the crowd. Meanwhile, on the room where the Mentors are;

“ I’m kinda nervous for her. “ Jieqiong said.

“ Yes, I watched her rehearsal yesterday and she’s not on the shape because she’s not feeling well. And she’s performing alone. She seems very nervous performing alone. “ Cheng Xiao said.

“ Her vocal isn’t on the shape because she’s catching her breath. “ Li Ronghao said.

“ And she’s quite having hard time on the rap part too. “ Jackson said.

“ But the dry rehearsal earlier is so good. She improve so much. “ PD Zhang said.

The music blasted as Kim Se Yeon turn her whole body to face the crowd. She is now sporting a smirk as she rap and sing without any mistakes and matching it with a powerful yet sexy dance. The Boys cannot help but to cheer. Her bestfriends cheering louder.

“ Woah, Last time I check her. She’s having a hard time doing the intense choreography but now, Wow. “ Cheng Xiao commented.

*** Interview ***

Se Yeon : I was really nervous but when the music starts, my body kinda move on its own and the nervousness suddenly disappear.

*** End ***

Then the break dance comes and Se Yeon is now giving her all to display her talent. The fans cheer louder. Of course, Their favorite is on stage, slaying it. And they can’t help to notice the slight similarity of her and Jennie of Blackpink when their rapping. She has the YG Swag eventhough she wouldn’t admit it because she fears that she cannot give justice to their good reputation, She has the JYP’s Visual and SME’s Amazing Talent.The performance ended with Se Yeon sitting like a bad ass on the floor, with her left leg outstretched and her right leg slighly elevated and angled. She has her right hand holding her black hair (She dyed it again with black) on the side while sporting a side smirk. The Trainees backstage cheered together with the fans. Se Yeon stood up while smiling and curtsy. PD Zhang came beside her.

“ Thank you for that wonderful performance and thank you also National Producers. I just noticed that you’ve changed the ending pose. Did you design that ? “ PD Zhang asked. Actually, the real ending pose was supposedly Se Yeon facing her back on the audience while her head turning to the right and a resting bitch face but Se Yeon changed it.

“ Ah, Yes. I think that pose is better than the original. I mean, The original is great but the pose I did is better for the song. “ Se Yeon answered while controlling her breathing.

“ Okay, Now, Please do your speech to rally the votes. “ PD Zhang said. Se Yeon faced the audience.

“ Um, First, Thank you everyone who are here to watch my performance. Thank you for supporting me and I hope you still support me until the end. Xie Xie. “ Se Yeon said and bow 90° to the audience. Zhang Yixing then told her to go back to the backstage to rest. She bow again to the audience and then to PD Zhang before going to the backstage. On the backstage, She was welcomed by Cai Xu Kun and Zhu Zhengting who are currently hugging her tightly.

On the voting result after all of the trainees performed, Se Yeon got 2nd Place while Justin’s Group got 1st place and Cai Xu Kun’s group are the winner. Se Yeon is happy now, completely innocent to what will happen to her after this.

So, yeah. What do you think will happen to Se Yeon ? Is it good or bad ?
