      Nervous tension fill the air as trainees gather in the evaluation room in the company. Each team were preparing themselves as they waited for the panels to arrive. A furor of murmurs went unheard to the 5 boys of team B.

"What do you think? Can we win this?"

"Do you think they'll win again?"

"I'm sure we'll be better than last time..."

"Remember the interim check?"

      The interim check... just the mention of it made the atmosphere among the members of team B darken. Who wouldn't remember that?

"Its gonna be fine, we'll do fine on the actual performance." Soobin said trying to lighten up the mood.

"Yeah Soobin hyung's right, we can do it! Just like we practiced." Hueningkai said which only made the others expression darken with worry.

"...it was quite nerve-wrecking..."

"Dang I can't believe how low the scores were..."

The scores on their interim check weren't that good too. They all know it and they knew why it was.

"We did what we can." Beomgyu faced the others who slowly nodded.

"We'll just remember to enjoy and have fun. That's what this is all about right?" Taehyun smiled and the others nodded in agreement.

"The feedbacks were really harsh."

"I think only Hueningkai and Beomgyu got better feedback in team B, right?"

"I know, its almost unbelievable."

"Lower your voice..."

"We should learn to ignore them by now." Soobin nervously laughed as the other 4 nodded.

"What? We all got harsh criticisms."

"They might hear."

Team B, consisting of Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun and Hueningkai felt af the loss for words. They already heard them. Yeonjun couldn't even help but chuckle a bit at how inconspicuous the other teams are trying to be. This made the others spare him a worried glance

"Remember Yeonjun recieving that criticism? That was shocking."

"I know."

"Taehyun's was kinda expected, though I thought he'd do better."

"Uhm... why don't we stretch ourselves first?" Hueningkai offered giving a sideways glance at the others whose mood didn't really seem to change.

"It wasn't really that bad compared to the other older trainees hyung." Beomgyu held his hand out to the oldest who haven't really spoken a thing yet.

"Soobin was just ok but I wonder if they'd do better today."

"Maybe, maybe not?"

"They don't look very confident to me today, is it just me?"

"The interim check really got to them right? They were kinda out of it back there."

"Yeah, I remember."

No one remembers the enterims more than them, it was 2 days after their 4th Blue Hour experience. They were all kinda distracted by many things and it eventually affected their focus.

"Yeah, let's... focus... on our coming... performance." Soobin said trying his best to ignore the murmurs around them.

"I guess we should go stretch." Yeonjun gave Beomgyu a small smile as he took his hand just as the panels arrived.

_______________°*•☆•*°_______________

"What if we mess this up?" Taehyun suddenly blurted out after they finsihed stretching and doing last minute practice like the rest of the teams. It was at that moment that all the teams were just called for stand by.

After the interim check, they were left with 1 day to correct all their mistakes and all the things they've lacked for the performance. All of which lead to the present, leaving them unsure and uncertain if they can actually pull it off the way they were supposed to.

It was really nerve-wrecking for all of the teams especially to those who've recieved harsh criticism from the vocal and dance trainers. Team B was among those whose keeping themselves together in hopes to make a good performance.

With the question hanging in the air, no one dared to answer Taehyun yet... not even Hueningkai who appeared to be very positive or Beomgyu who always try to cheer on everyone. It was then the 1st team was called to perform and they were seated along the other trainees waiting for their team to perform next.

"Whatever the results today, it will tell us how hard we've been working for this." Yeonjun sudennly cut their silence looking over the stage as the 1st team performed.

"We'll do great, we can do this." Beomgyu muttered under his breath watching the performance fixely as if the words he just said have been playing over his mind that just managed to come out this time.

"They completely captured the feeling of the song." Hueningkai commented, slowly becoming worried as he rubbed his palms on his lap in agitation.

"They're good, the genre really suited them." Taehyun looked down, thinking back to the days that lead them to this day. He wondered if they really worked that hard then looked back on the stage as the performance slowly come to its climax.

The other members watched the current performers intently feeling this gap with their current strength and skill. Can they perform like they did? Or even close to that? As soon as the thought came to them, immediately they shook the feeling off.

They surely can do it like last time, right?

"We're coming up next, you guys ready?" Soobin asked the others who looked back at him.

"We'll do our best." Soobin managed a smile to the others as if urging them to be confident.

"Let's do our best!" They all gathered together.
