as a refresher or visual representation,
here are the current room occupants:

after dramatizing the scene, the episode
finally captures sevyn opening a door

MOON SEONGMIN [ 3 ☆ the bankrupted ] ; [ his smile into the mirror falters slightly as the door opens ] ah... [muttering] we got seven sins...

SEO RYEON [ 3 ☆ the skater ] ; oh, hey sevyn!

SEVYN LEE [ 3 ☆ the psychologist ] ; hello [gives a half effort wave before going over to join their pose line]

what a simple greeting as seongmin
faces his song disappointment

~ room 207 confirmed
to have seven sins~

KIAN HWANG [ 3 ☆ the wannabe ] ; well... [picking at the envelope] i don't really mind any concept

KIAN HWANG [ 3 ☆ the wannabe ] ; but ann and sooyoung recommended i do growl

y'all trying to claim kian as a teammate?
because only one succeeds

KIAN HWANG [ 3 ☆ the wannabe ] ; jeonghoon? [looks around confused] you're alone?

it's a date wbk

BAE JEONGHOON [ 3 ☆ the imitator ] ; ...

jeonghoon was given simple
instructions: don't speak

KIAN HWANG [ 3 ☆ the wannabe ] ; [extremely confused] hoon?

HIDING DUO ; [jump out from the curtains]

YOON SOOYOUNG [ 3 ☆ the deer ] ; RAwRRR

KIAN HWANG [ 3 ☆ the wannabe ] ; [jumps a little] wha-

KANG JAEHYUK [ 3 ☆ the model ] ; [pouts] i need someone to scream or something

BAE JEONGHOON [ 3 ☆ the imitator ] ; if you want a scream, we can dress you up like a ghost in a jump scare prank

tempting... but you definitely
don't have time for that...

KAWAHARA KEI [ 3 ☆ the prankster ] ; [staring directly into the camera, into your soul]

KAWAHARA KEI [ 3 ☆ the prankster ] ; you guys wouldn't do it to me right? you wouldn't send me to loveticon, right?

KAWAHARA KEI [ 3 ☆ the prankster ] ; i can do anything just don't give me a cute concept

kei's almost selling himself
to the devil right now

YOON SOOYOUNG [ 3 ☆ the deer ] ; do we have a wig perchance?

KIAN HWANG [ 3 ☆ the wannabe ] ; [the only one to notice the door opening]

KIAN HWANG [ 3 ☆ the wannabe ] ; oh, it's kei :)

KAWAHARA KEI [ 3 ☆ the prankster ] ; hello [stops himself in the doorway]

except for kian, the rest of the
trainees in this room are staring
at kei with star eyes

KAWAHARA KEI [ 3 ☆ the prankster ] ; what is it..?

BAE JEONGHOON [ 3 ☆ the imitator ] ; do you have any fake blood?

KAWAHARA KEI [ 3 ☆ the prankster ] ; come again?

um...are they actually
attempting a ghost jump scare?

HAK SEUNGJUN [ 3 ☆ the repeater ] ; [smiling] it's been a while so i want to do a bright concept like loveticon!

HAK SEUNGJUN [ 3 ☆ the repeater ] ; i actually enjoy energetic music more too

HAK SEUNGJUN [ 3 ☆ the repeater ] ; and... i really can't do broken heart [emphasizes this by making a X with his arms] no!

the opposite opinion of kei tbh

SEO KAIRO [ 3 ☆ the bookworm ] ; [slaps the top of ann's hands] too slow!

ANN KIM [ 3 ☆ the rockstar ] ; how in the world are you always winning?

SEO KAIRO [ 3 ☆ the bookworm ] ; don't you know my name? it's kairo speed seo

ANN KIM [ 3 ☆ the rockstar ] ; shut up

these two got bored huh?

HAK SEUNGJUN [ 3 ☆ the repeater ] ; [enters the room with a second of relaxation]

SEO KAIRO [ 3 ☆ the bookworm ] ; [sudden clap] junnie~!

ANN KIM [ 3 ☆ the rockstar ] ; we've been saved by hak seungjun himself!

a very energetic greeting indeed

LEE NAYEON [ 3 ☆ the flower ] ; [poses for the camera] you see the vision already, right?

LEE NAYEON [ 3 ☆ the flower ] ; and i just have the most fun when i'm doing a bright concept on stage!

it's clear that you chose loveticon-

LEE NAYEON [ 3 ☆ the flower ] ; hello~ [peeks into the room]

LEE NAYEON [ 3 ☆ the flower ] ; oh wow! this feels like a boulevard reunion !

LEE NAYEON [ 3 ☆ the flower ] ; [enters the room fully] you know, if we switched daewon out for kairo ^^

SEO KAIRO [ 3 ☆ the bookworm ] ; i feel like i should be offended..?

LEE NAYEON [ 3 ☆ the flower ] ; no no [smiles] i've always wanted to team up with you kairo!

HAK SEUNGJUN [ 3 ☆ the repeater ] ; is it really a reunion if it's only 3 out of 5?

i mean, it's good enough

SEOL YERIM [ 3 ☆ the lawyer ] ; what i would choose?

SEOL YERIM [ 3 ☆ the lawyer ] ; it'd have to be seven sins, i just fit it better than the other two

yeah, cause you're hot

SEOL YERIM [ 3 ☆ the lawyer ] ; [enters the room] ...

SEO RYEON [ 3 ☆ the skater ] ; yerim, come continue the line!

the seven sins' members
easily join in on this bit ig

JI YUJUN [ 3 ☆ the psychic ] ; i want to do broken heart because it has the best rap part out of the songs

JI YUJUN [ 3 ☆ the psychic ] ; it also just fits me, don't you think? [grins]

possibly...

JI YUJUN [ 3 ☆ the psychic ] ; WOaH what's going on in here?!

yujun had the luxury of entering
room 204 to the transition of
jaehyuk into a ghost

YOON SOOYOUNG [ 3 ☆ the deer ] ; [continues painting jae's face with white face paint] hello :)

KAWAHARA KEI [ 3 ☆ the prankster ] ; soo, it doesn't have to be perfect, we're running out of time

BAE JEONGHOON [ 3 ☆ the imitator ] ; [slightly counts and frowns] i think we're already out of time

KANG JAEHYUK [ 3 ☆ the model ] ; [suddenly opens his eyes] WHA-

BAE JEONGHOON [ 3 ☆ the imitator ] ; we already have 6 people

KIAN HWANG [ 3 ☆ the wannabe ] ; [lowers the wig and tube of fake blood he was holding, defeated]

JI YUJUN [ 3 ☆ the psychic ] ; should i come back later or..? [gestures to the door]

YOON SOOYOUNG [ 3 ☆ the deer ] ; no need, let's just continue and scare the other groups later [determined look] now close your eyes again!

the group experienced a wave of agreement

AUDREY STEWART [ 3 ☆ the impulse ] ; what can i say? [smiles] i was born for the cute concept!

AUDREY STEWART [ 3 ☆ the impulse ] ; it has to be loveticon <3

(and the audience agrees
with a total of 9 votes)

AUDREY STEWART [ 3 ☆ the impulse ] ; [acts like she's seen the sun after walking in] i've been blinded by such bright visuals

AUDREY STEWART [ 3 ☆ the impulse ] ; [fully has her eyes closed at this point that she almost trips]

LEE NAYEON [ 3 ☆ the flower ] ; [laughs] open your eyes ree

AUDREY STEWART [ 3 ☆ the impulse ] ; [actually listens] oh, nayeon~!

audrey didn't even look to see
who was there before that bit

AUDREY STEWART [ 3 ☆ the impulse ] ; and seungjun and ann and kairo

AUDREY STEWART [ 3 ☆ the impulse ] ; oh my god, we're stacked

speaking like this is an official lineup

JEONG AURAE [ 3 ☆ the engineer ] ; i want seven sins because...

JEONG AURAE [ 3 ☆ the engineer ] ; i think.. i could do it?

JEONG AURAE [ 3 ☆ the engineer ] ; i mean i cosplay princesses all the time and they're pretty sexy?

JEONG AURAE [ 3 ☆ the engineer ] ; oh s*** was that weird?

maybe a little?

JEONG AURAE [ 3 ☆ the engineer ] ; [observing the line she witnessed when she entered]

JEONG AURAE [ 3 ☆ the engineer ] ; i can tell that we're performing seven sins, but we really don't fit that vibe right now [saying this directly into a camera]

SEOL YERIM [ 3 ☆ the lawyer ] ; if you can play house, you can pose with use

JEONG AURAE [ 3 ☆ the engineer ] ; who said i wasn't going to? this is EXACTLY the game i play

once aurae joins the line, we catch
sight of the initial room, which
now holds only 3 trainees

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; [smiles] you three may now enter the hall!

HEO JUNGJIN [ 3 ☆ the mascot ] ; together? [glances at rose and kyuhyun] we don't get any solo screentime???

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; production told me to hurry this up [smiles] sorry

and so, this trio was sent
to the hall camera together

HEO JUNGJIN [ 3 ☆ the mascot ] ; name the song you want to perform

HEO JUNGJIN [ 3 ☆ the mascot ] ; i've made it clear that i want loveticon, right? you guys?

PARK ROSE [ 3 ☆ the foodie ] ; [nods] i also want loveticon because energetic concepts are my forte ^^

SHIN KYUHYUN [ 3 ☆ the buff guy ] ; uh... i was told to do seven sins

i wonder who told you

PARK ROSE [ 3 ☆ the foodie ] ; we can open our envelopes now?

they don't wait for an answer
bc it really wasn't coming

PARK ROSE [ 3 ☆ the foodie ] ; [glancing at the others' envelopes] oh? we all got different rooms?

the three share a dramatic triangle
of staring before finally moving
to each enter their respective rooms

[ room 207 ; seven sins ]

having acknowledged that they needed
one more member to complete their
team, the members had conducted
a whole performance of sorts for
their final member.

so, when they heard the door open,
they each individually turned towards
them like this was a synchronized
swimming routine.

SHIN KYUHYUN [ 3 ☆ seven sins ] ; [blinking] um... [possibly trying to slither back out the door at this excessive attention]

but the seriousness, a slight hint of
determination, washed away once they
finished and they instead went to greet
kyuhyun cheerfully, or simply welcomingly.

MOON SEONGMIN [ 3 ☆ seven sins ] ; kyu welcome, welcome!

SEO RYEON [ 3 ☆ seven sins ] ; welcome welcome~!

actually, some were a little too welcoming

JEONG AURAE [ 3 ☆ seven sins ] ; and i thought my team couldn't get gayer than speed-

SEOL YERIM [ 3 ☆ seven sins ] ; anything's possible

it smells fruity, is it seongmin's perfume

(^ in reference to ep 5's extra)

anyway...

[ room 208 ; loveticon ]

while seven sins' last member was
a given, at this point, loveticon's
was up in the air until the
moment the door opened.

??? ; hello my fellow cuties~!

only the audio was shared, but let's
be honest, you can probably already tell

ANN KIM [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; i'd say i'm surprised, but i don't think i am

LEE NAYEON [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; a hearts trio~!

SEO KAIRO [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; should we peel that now? [points at the covered board]

HEO JUNGJIN [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; that quickly? you didn't even give me a hello???

HAK SEUNGJUN [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; hello jinni

HEO JUNGJIN [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; [brightens] ah yes junnie! i knew i could count on you! [suddenly clings to his arm]

AUDREY STEWART [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; since when were they close?

ANN KIM [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; they're not [shrugs] maybe they're desperate?

exposing 101

SEO KAIRO [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; so peeling..?

LEE NAYEON [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; yes!

kairo did the honors to reveal that...
they in fact had loveticon

surprise surprise

HEO JUNGJIN [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; huh? we only have two and a half days together and they want us to choose a leader and center?

HEO JUNGJIN [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; that sounds like a waste of time

HAK SEUNGJUN [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; that's normal

ANN KIM [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; they really are trying to generate as much emotional heartache as possible

LEE NAYEON [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; then i guess we have to make as many memories as possible before then

LEE NAYEON [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; [gasps] let's take a picture!

the 6 end up coming together to take
a picture in the mirror which ended
up being used to transition into a
slideshow of the photos they took
over the next 2 1/2 days...

[ room 205 ; broken heart ]

KANG JAEHYUK [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; how do i look?

KAWAHARA KEI [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; like you work in a low budget haunted house [chuckles]

BAE JEONGHOON [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; scary...in the right lighting?

KIAN HWANG [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; good last minute?

YOON SOOYOUNG [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; i did it so good [laughs] i really shouldn't become a makeup artist

JI YUJUN [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; [laughing] agreed

as they are observing their final
work of art, the door opens

PARK ROSE [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; [suddenly on edge] who- what- huh?

jaehyuk stares directly as he's facing
the door while the other 5 simply
turn their heads slowly, keeping
their bodies facing away.

if their heads did a 360,
i'd scream right now

KAWAHARA KEI [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; i thought we were full?

KIAN HWANG [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; me too

are you guys just going
to stand there staring?

YOON SOOYOUNG [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; rose, hello, welcome to the team [smiles and approaches]

the rest of the group follows behind
her, giving their share of hello

PARK ROSE [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; the way you're moving feels cult like

PARK ROSE [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; unnatural...

JI YUJUN [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; us? a cult? [glances around] is it because of jae?

JI YUJUN [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; we're not worshiping him

KANG JAEHYUK [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; i don't think that was a necessary clarification..?

KAWAHARA KEI [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; no, it absolutely was

realistic interpretation of this group

but, all their focus on a ghost prank
did not get wasted on cult allegations,
no, they put it to good use...

SEOL YERIM [ 3 ☆ seven sins ] ; we all agree to have sevyn as our temporary center, correct?

JEONG AURAE [ 3 ☆ seven sins ] ; aye aye captain [jokingly salutes]

just as yerim begins to write
the name, the lights go out

SEO RYEON [ 3 ☆ seven sins ] ; [screeches]

i think i can hear some teeth clattering
and scratching at windows...?

the hallway footage shows kei scratching
on the window of the door before jeonghoon
is seen ushering jaehyuk into the door

MOON SEONGMIN [ 3 ☆ seven sins ] ; [jumps] ssomething just touched me

SEO RYEON [ 3 ☆ seven sins ] ; wha- AHH!

right behind ryeon, jaehyuk's "ghost"
face is suddenly lit up by a flashlight

MOON SEONGMIN [ 3 ☆ seven sins ] ; [deadpans] we're haunted

JEONG AURAE [ 3 ☆ seven sins ] ; haunted my a-

SEVYN LEE [ 3 ☆ seven sins ] ; [cackling] where'd you get that wig?

jaehyuk starts sliding across
the room and out the door

JEONG AURAE [ 3 ☆ seven sins ] ; interrupting us and then leaving withot answering our questions, rude

MOON SEONGMIN [ 3 ☆ seven sins ] ; who was that?

SEOL YERIM [ 3 ☆ seven sins ] ; [sighs] jaehyuk

you know, at least they got a scream here...

LEE NAYEON [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; temporary leader kai and center audrey

LEE NAYEON [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; done and done right?

SEO KAIRO [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; who said i wanted to be leader...?

LEE NAYEON [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; well i mean... you seem the most organized?

LEE NAYEON [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; and everyone already whispered their vote to me

SEO KAIRO [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; [looking around] they did???

HAK SEUNGJUN [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; no... but i'd vote for you

AUDREY STEWART [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; yeah, i don't see why not!

in this room too, the lights go
out and scratching is heard, but
no screams, rather the room
is filled with shocked silence

ANN KIM [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; did mnet forget to pay the bills?

suddenly, jaehyuk's face appears
beside her, but only for a second
before he's on the ground

ANN KIM [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; [just punched jae bc her fight or flight instincts kicked in]

HEO JUNGJIN [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; [staring wide eyed as the lights turn on quickly]

AUDREY STEWART [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; yikes

the words "ghost pranks have now
been banned from street casted"
appear on screen as jae is unnecessarily
dragged out of the loveticon
practice room by his whole team

we cut to team broken heart sitting
normally in their practice room,
with the only remnants of this event
being jae holding ice to his nose.

JI YUJUN [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; i really look forward to the ann punch gif

KIAN HWANG [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; hopefully it isn't taken too seriously...

PARK ROSE [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; yeah...

silence

BAE JEONGHOON [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; guys, we still need to peel that off [points]

BROKEN HEART ; ...

you were very much preoccupied

YOON SOOYOUNG [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; [gets up] i got it

YOON SOOYOUNG [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; [peels] we have broken heart and need a... temporary leader and center [looks expectantly at the crowd]

JI YUJUN [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; [raises hand] i believe in yujun center time~!

KAWAHARA KEI [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; we should have someone who hasn't been center yet

JI YUJUN [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; oh...wait isn't that everyone but us..?

didn't have to point that out but okay

KANG JAEHYUK [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; [raises hand] i say kian

PARK ROSE [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; ditto

BAE JEONGHOON [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; [nods] agreed

KIAN HWANG [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; [blinks] huh? me?

yes you

YOON SOOYOUNG [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; okay [writes it down] and temporary leader?

KANG JAEHYUK [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; you?

a wave of agreement passes through
the room as all three groups have officially
confirmed their temporary roles

let the practice begin!

immediately, a montage of practice shots
from the next 2 1/2 days are shown
on screen with the words of the
trainees filling the audio

(this gif has experienced better days lmao)

SHIN KYUHYUN [ 3 ☆ seven sins ] ; i don't know, these past few days have felt...different?

SEOL YERIM [ 3 ☆ seven sins ] ; you can tell everyone's working hard

SEOL YERIM [ 3 ☆ seven sins ] ; but you can also tell that they're having fun

KANG JAEHYUK [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; i think this is the first time i've felt this nervous for an elimination

KANG JAEHYUK [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; not just for myself, but for my teammates

BAE JEONGHOON [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; it's not the show's last practice

BAE JEONGHOON [ 3 ☆ broken heart ] ; but it's the last practice for a lot of us

ANN KIM [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; this is it, really.

ANN KIM [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; for most of us, if we don't survive now, we'll never step on stage again

MOON SEONGMIN [ 3 ☆ seven sins ] ; if this is the end then i have no regrets

AUDREY STEWART [ 3 ☆ ♡ticon ] ; no matter the outcome, loveticon will always be for the 6 of us

as the audio and scenes faded out,
there was a lingering effect as bright
lights flooded into the all too known
ranking announcement room.
