( ❝ ERYNN / A ❞ ) okay, before we begin, is there anyone who thinks they're not super fluent in korean?

julia shyly raised her hand
up and looked around to see
if anyone else raised their
hands and flushed when she
noticed she was alone

( ❝ JULIA / A ❞ ) whoops..

( ❝ HARUNA / A ❞ ) don't worry! we can help you!

( ❝ ERYNN / A ❞ ) we're actually lucky only one person isn't fluent. it would probably be hard if there was a lot of us that weren't fluent in korean! so, don't worry about it

( ❝ AVHYN / N ❞ ) say, what we our song choices again?

( ❝ YURI / B ❞ ) la vie en rose, violeta, and panorama

( ❝ FUJIKO / C ❞ ) if we end up choosing panorama, can i get wonyoung-sunbae's parts? i wanna experience the wonyoungification of idols

( ❝ IZA / A ❞ ) i want to see that!

( ❝ QINYANG / N ❞ ) so.. what song are we going for? i personally like violeta or panorama

( ❝ SOEUN / B ❞ ) i want to go for panorama!

( ❝ HARUNA / A ❞ ) same here!

( ❝ YUKI / A ❞ ) i kind of want to go for violeta. i mean, it fits our rappers the best

( ❝ SHIZUKA / B ❞ ) i agree with that

( ❝ ERYNN / A ❞ ) let's take a vote. raise your hand if you want to go for panorama

five of the girls raise their hands

( ❝ ERYNN / A ❞ ) raise your hand if you want to go for violeta

the ones who didn't raise their
hands for panorama, raised
their hands for violeta

( ❝ ERYNN / A ❞ ) we have an obvious winner here. we'll try out the parts for violeta and if we don't do well, we'll try out panorama

for a while, they practiced and
ended up choosing violeta
in the end. as that happened,
six iz*one members entered
the room. it was hyewon,
minju, eunbi, yena, chaewon,
and wonyoung! woah~

( ❝ YENA ❞ ) hello!!

( ❝ ERYNN / A ❞ ) oh- hello!

the rest of the group greeted
the six idols in front of them

( ❝ MINJU ❞ ) so, what song did you guys choose?

( ❝ ERYNN / A ❞ ) we chose violeta!

( ❝ WONYOUNG ❞ ) well, at least you didn't get wonyoungified-

( ❝ HYEWON ❞ ) we would love to see your progress right now. do you mind?

( ❝ ERYNN / A ❞ ) not at all! girls, let's get into position!

( ❝ CHAEWON ❞ ) wow! you girls were wonderful! and you did this in just a few hours? that's very cool

( ❝ EUNBI ❞ ) i agree with chaewon, you were good. julia, your pronunciation is a bit off but that's okay considering this is the first day of practice of this song. yuri, avhyn, iza, haruna, and shizuka, your spottings were also off but that can change. overall, it's pretty good considering you only learned this in a few hours

the girls listened to the words
of the iz*one girls and will do
better to impress them!

────────────────────────────────

in the national team, the girls
were scattered around the
practice room as no one
was gathering them up

( ❝ HAEUN / A ❞ ) unnie, what do i do?! i'm not a leader!

( ❝ AERA / B ❞ ) you'll be fine, i promise. if you mess up, i'll help you, okay? we can also ask someone to help you too

( ❝ HAEUN / A ❞ ) *sigh* i miss mari..

( ❝ AERA / B ❞ ) i know you do bub but, there's nothing we can do about it right now. maybe we'll have time to see her again, yeah? for now, we have to prepare for our mission. you miss mari? practice and work hard for her

( ❝ HAEUN / A ❞ ) hng, okay.. promise you'll help me!

( ❝ AERA / B ❞ ) yah, when have i ever broken a promise?!

haeun laughed at her sister
and dragged her to the middle
of the room to gather everyone

( ❝ HAEUN / A ❞ ) unnies! can we please gather around?!

the girls were quick to gather
around and formed a circle
on the ground with haeun
and aera in the middle

( ❝ HAEUN / A ❞ ) uhm i don't know the first step of being a leader but, i think we should know who isn't fluent in japanese or doesn't know japanese at all? so uh, unnies who don't know japanese well, could you raise your hands? please?

six girls with the names of gigi,
hera, espy, jae, chayoung, and
jieun all raised their hands up

( ❝ HAEUN / A ❞ ) oh, quite a lot. no worries, i'll try my best to help you!

( ❝ MANWOL / A ❞ ) should we get into our song choices?

( ❝ HAEUN / A ❞ ) oh, yes! our song choices are beware, secret story of the swan japanese version, and fiesta japanese version!

( ❝ ARI / B ❞ ) gosh, our song choices are so good!

( ❝ JAE / B ❞ ) all iz*one songs are sooo good

( ❝ CHAYOUNG / D ❞ ) i say we go for beware! it's such a good song!

( ❝ HERA / N ❞ ) yeah it's a good song but, don't you think it's a bit cutesy? i bet half of us don't want to do aegyo

( ❝ CHAYOUNG / D ❞ ) you're right, i hate doing aegyo. okay, someone else choose a different song

( ❝ SARANG / N ❞ ) how does fiesta sound?

( ❝ GIGI / N ❞ ) yes! let's go for that!

( ❝ ESPY / N ❞ ) fiesta soty i don't care about what anyone else says

at that exact moment, the other
iz*one members (sakura, nako,
hitomi, yuri, yujin, and chaeyeon)
enter the practice room

( ❝ JIEUN / A ❞ ) oh my gosh! hello! hello!

jieun continuously bowed at the
members which made everyone laugh
and jieun blush from embarrassment

( ❝ CHAEYEON ❞ ) hi! how are things holding up?

( ❝ SOOHAN / B ❞ ) we were just choosing a song!

( ❝ HAEUN / A ❞ ) sunbaes, would you mind helping us choose..?

( ❝ YUJIN ❞ ) we don't mind at all! we'll help you choose a song!

( ❝ YURI ❞ ) we also brought along our japanese members to help you guys!

( ❝ NAKO ❞ ) more like dragged us here..

( ❝ HITOMI ❞ ) you could've at least let me finish up my bread..

( ❝ SAKURA ❞ ) i'll treat you some bread later, don't worry

( ❝ YURI ❞ ) ehem- anyways! about that song-

well, it seems like everyone is
having fun with the iz*one
members! i wonder what
other guests our ceo will

( ❝ FUJIKO / C ❞ ) i'm so lucky i got goeun-sunbae's parts because now i can sing that part all the time

( ❝ JULIA / A ❞ ) i think we all want your parts solely because of that one line

( ❝ SARANG / N ❞ ) yeah!

( ❝ HARUNA / A ❞ ) imagine being allowed to swear-

────────────────────────────────

( ❝ YURI / B ❞ ) same!.. wait, do we have any food? i'm hungry-

────────────────────────────────

( ❝ QINYANG / N ❞ ) are you sure you want to give up yunjin-sunbae's parts?

( ❝ QINYANG / N ❞ ) just making sure you're really okay about giving up those parts. i know those are your favorite parts in the song and would be happy to do it
