01
I am a star!

Jinyoung stood tall, shoulders back and hands clamped behind his back in the darkness. Ever so often fixing his navy blue sweater and light denim jeans.Jackson,from Got7,just standing just across and below him. Below Jackson was a massive dark blue circle, labelled SIXTEEN with a 2 hidden behind the bold word. Lights on Jackson began to flare up. The top of cameras began to go red, and boom mikes were being carefully hovered above Jackson. He took a deep breath

"Jackson-ssi we're on in 3.." The director began counting down, "2... 1!" Jackson to a hefty breath and smiled gleefully. 

"JYP's first survival show has been re-formed " He said excitably as the clip cut to highlights from the first SIXTEEN, show casing the conditions of the ambitious majors and the struggling minors, and even showcasing the final contestants being announced into the Super girl group TWICE. 

The shot panned out to Jinyoung standing proudly on a stand, high above the stage that Jackson sat on. Grinning he applauded as something similar to a fanfare pounded around the studio, Jackson lifted the microphone up to his mouth,
"JYP sunbaenium, are you excited to be doing SIXTEEN again?" Jackson asked curiously.
"I had a great time while doing SIXTEEN for the 1st time, so I hope that this time around it'll be just as delightful! Jinyoung stated grinning as he calmly sat down in the chair behind him, "I guess all I can say now, is on with the show!" He gleefully called, Jackson nodded. Jinyoung sat himself down on a cotton triangular chair, illuminating with a glittery blue.

"As you wish JYP sunbae, First all 16 boys will perform in group performances so that you can see the unison of all 16 of them! I shall present the first group to perform! Come on out!" Jackson yelled and began to applaud. The music began to roar

 
Dancers Performance

Jinyoung kindly applauded the tired boys, they collectively waddled tiredly into the middle of the stage, to the dark blue circle underneath them. The boys glanced up confidently at the CEO who was fixated on the boys below. Jackson sauntered to the side of a the left- most boy, wearing a black cap, and a winter jacket, calmly applauding with the palm cards in his hand. He raised his hand to read;

"Fantastic Job!" Jackson exclaimed, "So that ladies and gentlemen was our first group performance of the evening!" Jackson excitably stated, "Before the boys introduce themselves I will give you some collective facts about them; All of them have trained for at least 1 year under JYP Entertainment, they were formed as a special group of dancers 6 months ago, they have been preparing this amazing collaborative performance ever since!" Jackson explained before applauding in unison with the 4 boys, "Now I shall allow the boys to introduce themselves from right to left, so I shall hand you the mic?" Jackson said childishly making the youthful boy slightly giggle. The youthful boy

"Hello JYP sunbaenium, my name is Xian (Sehun, cap, 1st to perform) I am 17 years old and I've been under JYP Entertainment for the shortest time out of all of us, 1.3 years, but I'm glad that I was able to make the cut as a special, exception.  I mostly study Judo." Xian explained with a fake confident mask over his face, Jinyoung smiled
"Your voice, is very light, it's cute" Jinyoung exclaimed, Xian giggled,
"Thank you sunbaenium!" He answered as he passed the microphone to a shorter, cute younger looking boy. He smiled and bowed his small head, his hair slightly bounced.

"Hello JYP subaenium, I am the maknae, Joonhyuk (Dongwoo,rude trench coat, 2nd to perform) I am 13 years, which makes me the maknae, I studied Contemporary. I've been under JYP Entertainment since I was 10 years old, so which mean 4 years." He said in a surprisingly low voice. Jinyoung grew wide eye
"Your voice is rather low for a 13 year old boy?" He asked, Joonhyuk snickered and nodding his head.
"Yes I get that quite a lot!" Joonhyuk replied, passing the mic back too a smiley, taller boy. With an adorable face and squishy nose

"Hello JYP sunbaenium!" He cheered enthusiastically as he bowed and wave to man above, making the CEO and Jackson giggle. Cute,"My name is Zhujiang (Tao, talent twin, leather jacket martial artist, 3rd to perform), i'm 18 years old, I'm Chinese and I specialize in Martial Arts!" He cheered,
"Oh can you do flip for us then?" Jackson asked excitably. Zhujiang passed the mic foreward and confidently walked the left. He took a breath then ran before jumping and flipping himself over, landing almost perfectly on the other side. Jinyoung wooed and clapped.
"Thank you for having me on SIXTEEN 2!" Zhujiang finished. Then the man next to him, who was way taller than the rest of them, took a sigh before halving his long body in half.

"Hello JYP sunbae, I am Sungjun (Hoya, talent twin, with 2 other men, 4th to perform) I am 21 turning 22. You can call me the odd one out because I'm the only one from this special team who studied b-boying...unless you count martial arts as b-boying," The crowd laughed, Sungjun continued, "Uh.. I've been under JYP for 3 years, and I could say my idol is rain." Sungjun nodded, Jinyoung lifted his microphone,
"I've seen you around here a lot haven't I?" Jinyoung laughed and Sungjun nodded.
"It appears you have."

The camera shows the full shot of the room and Jackson began his lines once again.

"So that was an amazing performance, but I believe we have one more thing we need to do before we move on to the next group, JYP?" Jackson signalled Jinyoung. Jinyoung pulled a piece of paper from his pocket.

The paper wasn't crumpled, although it laid in Jinyoung's pocket for quite some time. He unfolded and flattened it against his tight denim jeans. He cleared his voice 

"Zhujiang," He yelled with a clear voice, the innocent martial artist stepped forward in front of the rest. Across the stage, all the lights had lit up, revealing 16 chairs, all with a bold numbers on the top of them, it started in the middle with '1' and '2' and then expanded out into two ways, left and right, and at each end were '16' and 15' "Nine." Jinyoung continued, "Please got take a seat on that chair." Jinyoung ordered.  Zhujiang obediently quickly wandered to the chair and calmly took a seat, staring across the room.
Zhujiang- I have no... no idea on what they mean? But it is close to the middle, so maybe it means I'm in the middle ground?

"Xian, Six." Xian beamed being announced the highest number, so far, he bowed and eventually followed Zhujiang's steps, but this time to the right of the stage, he plumped into his seat and smiled to himself
Xian- I'm the highest number among our little group, beating Donghao ge... oh wait Zhujiang ge by 3. I'm pretty proud, but there is 5 other people ahead of me. You know I feel pretty bad about being ahead, training the shortest time, and automatically earning a higher place is never really great.

"Sunjun" Sungjun gulped, he shyly stepped in front of the smaller Joonhyuk, "Eleven." He sighed in relief before bowing towards Jinyoung and walking to the chair next to Zhujiang. Quietly sitting down and giving a small wave to the naive Chinese boy. Zhujiang smiled and playfully waved back.
Sungjun - 11 isn't such a high number when it comes to ranking, but heck knows what they mean, no one knows

"Joonhyuk, number" Before Jinyoung could continue Joonhyuk titled his head down like a sad puppy, Jinyoung sighed at the sight, and pouted before sighing one last time, "15" He finished, everyone in the room sighed whilst Joonhyuk bowed before shuffling to his chair at the edge of the stage, far away from everyone else.

Joonhyuk- Not proud of the number I received, i'm super low compared to my hyungs!

The four boys sat quietly, Jackson began to introduce.
"Shall we move onto our next 4 boys? Let's go, time to meet some of the best singers in JYP!" He exclaimed as he walked of the stage, and sudden orchestra like music played, in a familar tune.

 
Singers Performance

Jinyoung and the dancers appluaded, many wow-ed at their incredibly powerful performance. Jackson appluaded as he high-fived all of them

"Great performance to all of you, so this our 2nd group performance of the night, and they are what's called, the 'Elite' vocalists, all of them been training for at least 4 years!" Many gawked at the number, "On top of that, it appear that this group are the decedents of giants with an average height 182.5cm! Not to be mean be I think we can all see who bring them down!" Jackson and Jinyoung laughed, the shortest man with soft light brown hair stylized over his forehead asked for the microphone.
"Even though I am the shortest, i'm pretty sure we all know that I am the most handsome!" Everyone laughed, the other giants snickered, "At least i'm not the third shortest, I mean look at this midgit!" The man sneered as he pointed to a bleached blonde boy further right, passed the two giants. The blonde covered his mouth and smiled, pretending to be offended
"HYUNG!" He yelled, causing a ruckus in the studio, the boys behind them were losing themselves. Jackson recieve the mic back from the man, "Now let us, let them introduce themselves to JYP!" Jackson cheered as the mic was passed on to the first giant, who had a softer appearance compared to the others.

"Hello JYP subaenium," He starts before sending a heart towards the CEO, Jackson stopped him with a forceful hand on his chest,
"What are you doing?" Jackson asked playfully.
"I'm showing affection," He snickered, "My name is Kwon Taejin, aka Alex (Youngjae, brown hair, 4th to sing, 2nd rap)(Youngjae, brown hair, 4th to sing, 2nd rap)! I am 20 years old and I can play the violin! I love you" Alex exclaimed sending a kiss towards the ceo, Jinyoung sneered cheekily, Alex laughed happily before stepping back and handing the microphone.
Alex- I was trying to get him to do it bad, but it looks like we all can't have things that we like

The shorter man yelling earlier took the mic strongly from Alex's hand, he smiled and pierced his gaze through Jinyoung, "Ne," he said coldly, Jackson rubbernecked, "Hello JYP subaenium, I am your oldest trainee, Yoosung. (Leo, 3rd to Sing, hair up, 2nd high note) I am 25 years old and I have been under JYP for.." He paused, counted on his fingers before sighing, "Too long." He ended and JYP laughed.
"But hey I never get sick of your face Yoosungie." Jinyoung cooed to man who laughed and slightly bowed.
"I would like to thank you for putting me on SIXTEEN 2, and that's me!" He exclaimed as he charmingly gazed into the camera while casually tossing the microphone to the left. Jinho, missed it, it slightly slipping out of his massive hands and was in horror. Jeongsu luckily was able to catch it and strongly grasped onto it, shocking everyone into a laughing fit, Alex was on the floor and the four on the chairs were about to fall of their chairs.
Jackson raised his microphone.
"Okay new rule, no throwing the microphone!" Jackson excalimed laughing.

Yoosung bowed as he calmly handed the microphone to the much, MUCH taller man, he quietly thanked his hyung before greeting Jiyoung.

"Hello JYP subaenium, I guess from judging how long I've been here, you would know who I am, but for all of the viewers, I am Jinho. (Eunkwang, 2nd to sing, blonde hair, 1st high note) I am 22 years old, and I have been under JYP for a total of 13 years, starting when I was 9 years old with a passion for singing, I would like to thank Park Jinyoung sunbaenium for giving this opportunity for me." Jinho stated short of breath afterwards, Jackson snickered
"Jinho, please breathe at some point!" Jackson exclaimed, Jinho quietly passed the microphone on to the final shorty of the team, a short blonde boy. He bowed quietly before adjusting his rather long hair, pushing it to behind his ear.

"Hello everyone, I am SIXTEEN 2's Silvertongue, Jeongsu (Daehyun, 1st sing, black hair, 1st rap)!"
"God you have grown," JYP interrupted, Jeongsu slightly giggled, "I am 18 years old and I have been under for 7 years, mostly singing my heart out and I'd like to thank Jinyoung for inviting me onto SIXTEEN 2, and I would like to wish good luck for everyone!" Jeongsu finished, he bowed his head.

The camera panned, going to the anxious faces of not only the vocalists, but of the dancers. The time came again, numbering. Joonhyuk straightened his back, nervously.
You seemed nervous? Why?
Joonhyuk: Already getting given the second lowest and then seeing everyone else get higher numbers must , I'm not nervous for myself, I am nervous for my hyungs

The four boys stood with their head slightly tilted down, hoping that no one would get a number. Jinyoung smirked down at the paper, before lifiting his head and clearing his voice once more. He grinned, speaking much louder and clearer than with the dances.

"Jeongsu," Jeongsu held his breath, "Number 7" He exhaled and strided over to the chair with the number 7 hovering behind it.
Jeongsu- One behind Xian, and one in front of Jinho, and lucky number 7 in Western Culture, so I guess I am in a good postion!

"Yoosung," Jinyoung sighed slightly, Yoosung looked over to the latters wide eyed standing next to him. He gulped, Was it a low number. Jinyoung shook his head, "16" He finished, sounding dissapointed, Yoosung bowed his head before scuffling over to the furthest chair, away from the stage. He slumped down
Yoosung- Well, that shocked me *laughs* It's not easy sitting at the very edge of the stage and then next person 4 spots ahead of me but only a seat away. Still I doubt it's based on this performance's performance, maybe past trainee life, or whatever! But maybe I could be at the highest position and I don't know it.

Two to go. Jinho and Alex slightly grasped each others hand in nerves. "Jinho," Jinho glanced up and caught his own breath, "8." Jinho sighed as he smiled, he strolled to next Xian. Leaving Alex on his own in the large circle
Jinho- It's exactly halfway, so I guess i'm in the goods *shrugs* But I will improve, trust me on that!

Alex sighed, he clamped his hands behind his back and only looked down, "Jeongsu," Jinyoung started, "Hey look up." Jinyoung demanded, Alex slowly raised his head to face him, he tensed up, "Number 5 Alex." Alex grew wide-eyed and a small smik came off Jinyoung's face. Alex bowed as trotted to the highest spot, so far.
Alex- Number 5! It's considerably high aint it?! I feel proud of myself!!!! I'm not that far from the centre and first place.

Jackson once again went into the middle of the stage, "Time for the next group performance, now I will personally say that I really like these boys, I saw their rehersal, and it was awesome, so enough me talking, come on out!" Jackson exclaimed before the stage lit up with red and green lights, and flashing white lights.

     
Rappers Perfomance

The audience clapped for the impressive and vibrant performance done by the rappers. Each rising onto the feet, except Jinyoung who comfortably stayed in his comfy triangular chair. The three boys bowed before they too moved to the center of the stage.  Jackson shook each individuals hand before returning to the left side of the boys.
"Yes wasn't that a vibrant performance indeed" Jackson started

"A bit of background information on these 3, they are known as the best rappers among the trainees we have right now, in celebration that they were selected, they quickly wrote and composed this amazing song for us to day!" Jackson exclaimed followed by yet another applause. "Shall we now meet them?" Jackson asked. The microphone moved along to a tall man, but with a slightly charming yet masculine face.

"Ne." He started in a low voice, sure they heard his low voice during the performance, but everyone was still surprised to see this fairy-like man with a voice deeper than the Mariana Trench. "Hello, my name is Ryu (Rap Monster, 1st verse, Green hair), I am 23 years old, I have been under JYP for 3 years and I have enjoyed the lot of it. I would like to thank everyone for the opportunity that I have here today, and yeah, I believe that is, thank you." He finished as he bowed his head and passed the microphone on to the rapper in line. 
"So handsome.." Jinyoung faintly stated.

"Yep, hello, my name is Byul (Suga, 3rd Verse, White Cap), I am 22 years old, I trained under JYP for technically for 12 years. I use to be an actor before I decided to switch back to being an idol after re-uniting with my first love-"
"Who?!" Jackson abruptly asked. Byul looked over, and raised an eyebrow
"My-my piano?" Byul replied, laughing, Jackson stared blankly as everyone chuckled. Jackson closed his arms and scoffed. Byul continued, "I am thankful that JYP sunbaenium has given me this opportunity to come onto SIXTEEN 2, and I wish the best of luck to everyone else." He finished as he passed the microphone onto the next contestant. 

The next contestant laughed, he fixed his hair and bowed, "Ayo," He said cooly, "My name is Romeo Navarro, or just simply Romeo. If you can't see, I am a mix of Filipino and, Korean. And I am 22 years old." Romeo finished.

Jackson retrieved the microphone before sliding back to his original positions,"So uh, that was much quicker than I was expecting." Jinyoung laughed.
"Well I generally talk to these boys almost all of the time." Jinyoung replied

The air once again became tense, once again, time for the numbers. Jinyoung once again unfolded the paper.
"Ryu." Ryu looked up wide-eyed, not expecting to be first, he gulped. "4." Everyone appluaded, he bowed and walked over the the 4th chair.
"Well done." Xian whispered to him, Ryu smiled at the latter before glancing upon his fellow rappers, hoping them well.
Ryu- I think i'm in a very high position in the game, or I could be in the lowest, no one has any idea whats so ever, but maybe I might actually have a low position?

"Byul." Byul looked side to side seeing all of the empty chairs, very few were that of the higher portion, most of them were below ten, he wasn't expecting much, "12." He sighed and he walked over 
Byul- I would normally just brush this low number of my shoulder, because I can always improve. However, the other rappers, in my own group are MUCH higher than me, I don't consider this okay, like at all.

The last left in limelight, Romeo. Unlike many of the other contestants, he was rather confident in himself. He smirked to Byul who had just sat down and sent a quick wink to Ryu, whom had scoffed.
"Romeo." Jinyoung paused. He glanced at all of the other trainees, "How are you feeling?" Jinyoung asked, Romeo wavered.
"I'm feeling pretty confident in myself, 
Romeo- Well you see it was obvious that I'd get number 2 right from the start!

Jackson raised his microphone, "It's time for our final performance, this time we are meeting a mixed group of trainees." He appluaded, "They all have been under JYP for under a year, some

New Kids Performance (x)

Everyone appluaded at the unknown boys. Jinho smiled brightly at the group

Jinho: It's always fun to see a new group of trainees perform, you never know their skill level, some I have seen around, but two I have never seen before.

The waves of applause silenced and Jackson returned to the side of a all, very tall blonde boy. Jackson comidiclly followed he boy's body from the tips of his toes to the summit of his blonde puff of hair. Jackson sighed, why are kids so tall these days?

"Ne, that was the 'New Kids Performance.' these boys haven't been around for the longest time, but surely it is long enough, shall we meet them?!"Jackson excitably sated as he passed the mic to the tall blonde boy, who he was jealous of.

The blonde slightly slunched down to grab the mic before returning to his former height. He smiled and bowed. "Hello everybody!" He began looking around the room, yep, he was the odd fish out of the pond, 3 months is not a long time. "I am  um, Lucian (Wooshin, hot pink flower, choker) , I was born in Changsha, China, I am 17 years old and um, I only joined JYP in January this year, um yeah I guess that's all about me." He smiled and bowed once again.
"How all are you, I mean look at you compared to the rest of your team, you are a towering figure." Jackson asked enthusiastically,pointing out everyone's short height, well maybe not the second tallest, but especially the two ginger boys in the middle. Lucian laughed,
"I am umm.... 187cm?" He answered unsure , maybe he was 186? Or was it 190? Or did he he say it completely wrong?

No matter, Lucian passed the microphone too the first ginger boy. The boy smiled as he bowed.
"Ayo wassup?" He laughed, "I am Beast Boy (Ooon, light pink flower (on the collar, brown hair) or just simply BB, I am 22 years old and I have only been an Idol trainee for 7 months, however I have been here for 4 years, but only as an actor. I don't regret being moved to as a trainee, in a matter fact of it was a great move in my opinion. So I guess that's me, thank you for putting me on this show!" BB explained smiling brightly the entire time, at the end he exhaled in relief, he applauded himself as he passed the microphone onto the next ginger boy in the line.

The next boy laughed as he recieved the microphone he nervously let out his last breath before the mouthful coming up next. "Hello everyone!! I am Min Raehwan or Rei (Cha Eunwoo, Black flower, those black bandannas on both arms) I am 20 years and I have been under JYP Entertainment for 7 months, I study dancing and I have been doing so for about 6 years... I think. Thank you oh so much JYP sunbaenium for putting me in SIXTEEN 2, I will not disappoint you sir!" He bowed as he deeply took a breath. Jinyoung chuckled.

The mic was passed onto a slightly taller man, with hair shaved on side, and focused on the other. He bowed, "Hello everyone, my name is Won (Hyuk, dull light pink flower, sings the pre-chorus). I am 22 years old and I have been training under JYP for 2 year snow. Pre-debutly I use to be a model and I an play the piano. I would like to thank JYP for giving me this opportunity to show my talents and show me to the wide world." He finished, he smiled and bowed before passing the mic on o the final man, tall and handsome.

He brushed his hair away from his face and bowed, "Hello I am Iden (Hyungwon (FC), Light pink flower, white belt hanging from his shirt), Yassoo me lene Iden. I am 19 years old, and I have been a trainee for 1 year under JYP. If you haven't noticed I am mixed Greek-Korean, so quick apologies if I suddenly start babbling out Greek, I would like to thank you for allowing to be on this show JYP sunbaenium, and thank you everyone." He bowed as he clapped. Jackson received the microphone and quietly walked of the stage, leaving the 4 boys in the spotlight.

One last time, the last 5 numbers, 14,13, 10, 3 and most importantly 1. The number chair sat their looming the many trainees.
Yoosung: I couldn't believe it, the top spot was going to someone not many people here know, fun times

"Won." Jinyoung called, Won shuffled forward and faced the CEO, confidently. "Number-" Rei raised his hand, Jackson broke out in laughter. Jinyoung laughed before sighing, "Yes Rei?"
"Are these numbers important?" He asked curiously, 
"To your own suprise I will say that they most defiantly matter a lot! Well at least for the upcoming challenge!" Jinyoung honestly answered. Won looked down and snickered before regaining his eye-contact. "Won," Jinyoung became serious again, "Number 14." Won smally laughed at the lowest number left, was given to him. He swiftly walked to the seat right next to Yoosung, and Sungjun.
"Well at least I ain't here alone anymore." Yoosung whispered
"Oi I was one seat away," Sungjun snarled.
Won- 14, at least it ain't 16, I probably deserve but who knows, these numbers seemed pre-planned

"Lucian," Jinyoung continued. The tall boy looked down, afraid of his result, He looked around he studio before re-meeting with Jinyoung, "Number 3." He gasped. Applause were heard all around, while Rei and BB hollered. Lucian bowed as he claimed his place near the center.
Lucian- Although there is a Shakespearean character in the way, but besides that I'm happy with the number I was given.

Iden: You see, after that I wasn't expecting much, they would announce Number 1 last, not leave like that, all survival shows do it, so I was either destined for 10, or 13. I'm just hoping it ain't 13.

"Iden, Number," Jinyoung paused, Iden laughed, sadly knowing his fate, "10." Jinyoung said, he nodded and bowed as he took his place at the 10th chair. Jinho leaned over,
"You seem fine with your number?" Jinho asked, rather curious, rookies should always be full of energy and majorly jealous, that they aren't in the top spot, so why not this one? Was he different? Iden just simply shrugged,
"I've seen survival shows, they will always leave the top spot till last for added effect." Jinho nodded and puckered out his lip,
"Not bad,"
Iden - Everyone after me is pretty much the lowest of low, so what does that make me? *awkward silence* I still wish I was higher though!

The final two boys left in the limelight. The both stood with their chins up and hands clamped behind their back
BB: Was I confident? Yes and No. Yes because, well who else? And no, well they gave a kid who has only been here for 3 months a top spot, so I would say the odds are higher if they gave it too someone else new. 

Rei: Maybe you could say I was over confident, I knew one of us had to have it, and it was going to be most defiantly me. 

Jinyoung folded the sheet back up and placed it back in his pocket and ascended of his chair, and back to his starting position. 
"Beast Boy, and Rei," He stated looking them both in the eyes, "One of you has the top spot, for now at least." He finished
He took a deep breath
B.B- 13 shouldn't be as bad as a number, especially if i'm in that position, but i'm envious, I deserve number 1!

Rei- *Cheers really loudly* NUMBER 1!!! I don't know if this is anything special, but to me it is! SO I am really happy, and besides, Romeo seems like a nice guy, i've never met him before though.

The SIXTEEN boys sat quietly in their assigned position, whilst Jackson had moved into the centre of the stage again. and anxiously waited, glancing at the other contestants, some re-meeting, some meeting for the first time, some just arrived here and have no clue on who anyone is. It was quiet, no one talked with each other, no small talks among the contestants as it felt the air was too heavy too talk to one another.
How were you handling the tense area?
Jinho: *laughs* huh I was wanting to talk to the two boys next to me, but uh, something stopped me.
BB: I had no clue why it had happen, there are many people here who very talkative, but no

Jinyoung stood up from his chair and cleared his voice. On a larger screen behind the contestants, on both sides, the first mission 

"So to keep in fashion, you guys will do the same mission as these lovely ladies did on their first episode." Jinyoung explained, and then the murmurs came around, many silently whispering to each other about the mission. he continued, "You need to show me that you have what it takes to become a star, show me a talent that would single you out from the rest, it does not have to be singing or dancing." Jinyoung explained as he explained, he signaled to Jackson to continue.

"You might be wondering about the numbers, a lot of you seemed very happy about the number you reveiced, others, not so much. The numbers mean a lot, and your number can change, depending on how you go today, and of course what the fans think." He explained, the numbers behind them began to light in a navy blue color, before all going dim again, then again, three more times. Finally all the lights had gone dim, except number 1, Rei. Jinyoung clapped and cleared his voice.

"The number you sit in now will be the order, starting from number 1, to 16." He stated, Yoosung laughed to himself, hiding himself from Rei, who had to go first.
Yoosung- YES, haha, false sense of failure turns into hope, amazing.

Jinyoung clapped his hands together, "I imagine you guys need to get changed into more suitable outfits first. So I will meet you on the other side, starting with you Rei." Jinyoung finished. The bows all stood up, bowed and said their thank yous in unison before heading back out the same opening they had came through

Backstage came packed, boys running around looking for their stage outfit, many getting their make-up re-did or just simply waiting for their turn on the stage. However this time period didn't last long, sooner or later the camera's began rolling again.

The first four boys emerged from the stage entry, this time all of them were wearing different outfits. They all stood in their original water, Rei, Romeo, Lucian, Ryu. Jinyoung and Jackson sat at slightly lower level just in front of the 4 men, also joined by an unoccupied seat next to Jinyoung. Jackson welcomed them onto the stage and crossed his legs. Jinyoung lifted the microphone.
"Welcome to the first challenge, this is too show me your individual skill as an idol. But," The four boys looked around at each other. From the darkness emerged, another yet familiar man. Shaggy black hair and define chin. Square rimmed glasses framed his black eyes, paired with a cutting gaze he wore a a jet black fedora matched with a black leather jacket, black denim jeans and a graphic black shirt. To add he wore white shoes to add some pop of light in his outfit. He walked over, gazing at each other contestants He slowly sat down and leaned back against the back of the third seat, shaking his hand with Jinyoung. He clasped his hand and placed them on his stomach. He leaned foreword, and allowed Jinyoung to do the talking. "This is Jung Sanghwan."

Just the name sent chills in everyone spines, even the boys backstage. A JYP legend. What was his possible purpose. Sure, the kids who have only been around for months don't know him, but yes, everyone else does, some of which is not a light and friendly background. He was a star trainee before he debuted as a solo artist only after 1 year of training. 

Sanghwan chuckled as he took the microphone from Jinyoung and bowed. He smirked
"Hello everyone, new friends and old friends, and those who are probably cultists." he jokingly stated as he pointed to Lucian, who was covered head to to toe with a hooded red drape. "I am Jung Sanghwan. You can say i'm micro-managing this competition." He explained in his baritone voice, he passed the microphone back to Jinyoung.
"I will announce later his purpose in this competition-"
"Is he a contestant?" Rei asked, Sanghwan laughed  and shook his head.
"No he is not a contestant." Jinyoung explained. "Speaking of yourself Rei, are you ready." Rei egerly nodded his head as he moved to the center of the stage, some tables and hairs were rolled out onto the stage. Rei adjusted his black blouses and took a deep breath before the beat began to play

The studio applauded and cheered as Rei huffed and puffed, smirking he bowed his head to the judges. He returned to the center of the stage, and awaited his feedback. The PD swiftly handed him his microphone which rested at his side.

Sanghwan gawked, "Jesus we haven't met before haven't we?" Sanghwan asked, Rei laughed,
"No, I joined the company when you, Jung Sanghwan debuted." Rei replied. Jinyoung raised the microphone.

"Great job Rei, you did a very great and exciting performance, and I believe the only performer using all of those tables," Jinyoung joked, "However, I could notice that you seemed to be absent from the performance. Yes you were there, but you didn't seemed to be focusing. Other than that a perfect performance." Jinyoung stated. Rei nodded throughout, before finally bowing and thanking the judges and heading back to his spot in the line, swiftly passing the microphone to the next in line, Romeo.

Romeo stepped out into the limelight, and Sanghwan smilened, "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore at thou Romeo!" Sanghwan exclaimed and laughed, Romeo laughed along with him too. He slid his hand down just in front of his face, and changing his expression to a serious one. He adjusted his outfit. And then the music played

The studio cheered, and the judges clapped. Romeo grinned and bowed, he stood still in the center, hands in front of him and legs tight together.  Jinyoung raised the microphone.
"You sure can rap, did you write the lyrics yourself?" Jinyoung asked
"Of course he can." Sanghwan spilled before Romeo could even speak. Jinyoung laughed,
"Well I guess there is my answer." Romeo laughed, "However, as a rapper, you appear to have no own color. I can't really see who you are just by going of that performance, it doesn't stand out a lot compared to many other rappers." Jinyoung stated, "But a good performance at best.

Romeo bowed and sadly head back to his spot in the line, he secretly passed the microphone to Ryu, once Lucian left for his turn. He tapped Ryu, Ryu looked over,
"Yes?" He whispered.
"I've never heard anyone say I have no color?" Romeo questioned, Ryu shrugged. 
"Maybe, but in my opinion you do, you have quite a pretty color." Ryu did his best to comfort the younger from the newly found weakness. Romeo shrugged and turned his attention to the new kid in the front

Meanwhile, Lucian had arrived to the middle of the stage, with his crimson hooded drape. He clasped his hands together and looked down. The lights went dim, and a church bell rung in everybody's ears.

Mouths were left wide open has the whole studio roared at Lucian's impressive performance. Sanghwan sat their with his mouth gawked open and frozen stiff. Lucian pivoted to grab the microphone from Ryu. He glanced over at the frozen man. He laughed and quickly bowed.

"I'm sorry." He pleaded and Sanghwan giggled.
"Don't apologies, you blew my mind!" He exclaimed. Jinyoung was still clapping, as he happily smiled.
"Already Lucian, probably my favorite performance. It was practically perfect!" Jinyoung exclaimed and Lucian stepped back in shock covering his mouth, he bowed in glee,
"Thank you!" he exclaimed as he picked up his robe and waltzed back to his position in the line.

Ryu sighed, a lot of weight was pushed onto him just now. He grabbed the microphone and waited as a PD carried a mic stand for him to the stage, he silently thank them as he placed the microphone on the stand. And waited for the music to play

The studio roared, especially the females, Ryu bowed and threw his singlet into the crowd of wild female OD. The studio laughed as the attention was later turned from Ryu, 'sculptured abs' to the panel.

Sanghwan laughed, "honestly you never fail to impress slash suprise  me Ryubi, not once have I ever been bored of your performance." Sanghwan joking stated, Ryu looked down flustered.
"Can I have the singlet?" Jackson asked raising his arm in hopes on someone giving it too him. To his surprise a flying singlet came flying across the stage from the abyss and landed in Jackson's lap. He grinned, "Can I keep this?" He asked. Ryu flustered and nodded, Jackson laid it flat on his lap and leaned on it, leaving Ryu in a laughing fit.

He was able to quickly calm down and awaited the results. "A very wild performance, which eventually ended up with you have ," Jinyoung stated, Ryu flushed red. "Although the only fault I would say is well, I don't really remember what happened before that happened, also it just doesn't seem you, like I don't think I would ever imagine you, Ryu, taking off your shirt mid-performance." Ryu laughed. 
"When I told my brothers that I would be on SIXTEEN 2, they instantly told me that any point during the show I have the rip my shirt off, and show my 6 pack" Ryu blushed and the whole studio cracked up, Sanghwan laughed probably the hardest, not at the ripping shirt off part, but at him blushing and being so embarrassed about it.
"So you waste it episode 1?" He asked almost out of breath. Ryu eagerly nodded. Jinyoung sighed. Ryu slowly returned to his position. Lucian covered the half man in his robe, at least covering up the chest, not much the back.

The four boys bowed and began to make their way back behind the stage. 
"Honestly the two dancers man, they did so much better than I expected some new trainees would be, especially that Lucian kid." Sanghwan stated.

╳

The next four trainees came foreward, one by one they entered the stage, some a bit more excited than others.
Sanghwan followed the first in line, and attracting Jinyoung's attention,
"Isn't that-?"
"Yes." Jinyoung whispered while nodding

Alex came forward with a violin hanging safely in his hand, and bow in the other, and a perfectly fitting black suit. He waited in the middle, he took a breath before he raised the bow and violin and let himself lose

Start at 1:03 and ignore the last part 

The studio applauded at the impressive violin performance. Alex just simply bowed as he retook the position in the center. Jinyoung raised the microphone.
"Well done Alex, you made a very creative performance, and probably the most different performance we'll see tonight, but I wish you were more active on the stage, a bit more engaging rather than so focused on your instrument." Jinyoung stated before letting of a small grin on his face. Alex bowed,
"Thank you sir." He thanked before walking back to his position.

Xian nervously walked out onto the stage, not ready to dance. Jinyoung and Jackson looked over at each other confusingly, wondering on what the hell was going on. Suddenly, a sorrowful piano tune began playing

Start at 0:26

The other 4 boys gawked at the surprisingly great voice of the dancer. Xian turned around and they shouted his name in a cheering style. Sanghwan applauded and cheered.
"Hey aren't you a dancer?" He asked, Xian nodded
"Yes,I am a dancer." He smiled and nodded his head confidently. Jinyoung sighed in relief.
"Honestly I wasn't expecting that, like at all, you've impressed me Xian. Although your voice is very raw and still needs a lot of work, you have defiantly got the skill to be  multi-talented contestant." Xian smiled ever so wildly, even though he performed a skill he has no work in, he was able to smile it off. He bowed and walk back to his position, where both Alex and Jinho gave him high-fives for his vocal work.

Next, the blonde Jeongsu stands in the middle of the stage alone, a peaceful guitar rhythm

The studio applauded and Jeongsu bowed once again, he was panting, he was completely out of breath after his performance. The panel kindly applauded before Jinyoung gave his judgement.
"The song most definatly suits your voice type, and you defiantly you presentation was pretty good. But it seems you lacked practice to the song, it seems that you're only reading the notes now. Now we told you all 3 months ago that you are a part of SIXTEEN 2 and too prepare, but your song sounded so, im-prepared." Jeongsu sighed and nodded his head, he admittedly thought the same.
"Thank you for the kind feedback."
"You're welcome." Sanghwan replied as Jeongsu turned his back and head back to his position in the line.

Followed immediately out was Jinho, he waited for the enchanting guitar to play.

The studio raved with clapping and cheering. Sanghwan was smirking all of the time throughout that performance. He raised his microphone.
"Honestly Jinho, the best vocalist in this whole competition! No none even come close!" He exclaimed, Jinho snickered,
"Thank you hyung." Jinyoung took the microphone. 
"Like said before, no one can really compare to you, well maybe out number 16, but by far the strongest singer." Jinyoung smiled and Jinho laughed, "I do wish for you too aim higher result, to aspire to be the greatest." Jinyoung finished, Jinho did his final bow before he, and the 3 other men went off the stage

╳

The next four came out rather confidently. Sanghwan snickered as he saw each one of them come out with a huge smile on their faces. They all stood there, waiting to be ordered. However the panel stayed.
Iden nudged Zhujiang, "That's you." He whispered. Zhujiang nodded and sped to the center of the stage, as he waited for his music.
 

Stops at the chanting

"Jesus christ that was cool." Sanghwan gazed at the young Chinese boy lovingly. The boy huffed, puffed and bowed to the judges before retuning to the spotlight. 
Jinyoung smiled brightly, "That was really cool Zhujiang, a very amazing performance indeed, althouh I think you should focus on your expressions, which I know would be very hard in your position, but you look rather bored uring your performance don't you think?" Zhujiang nodded enthusiastically. "Good kid." Jinyoung finished. Zhujiang bowed one last time before returning to the line.

The dashing Iden came out in an oddly familiar way. A violin in one hand, a bow in the other. And a white suit, almost perfectly fitted. Sanghwan grew wide eye and snickered.
This should be interesting

The studio cheered, Sanghwan especially, even in a standing ovation for the violinist. Sanghwan sat back down excitably and cheered.
"10/10 best performance of the night." Iden grew flustered, and was to shy too look back up. Jinyoung laughed and sighed.
"So I was wrong about my comment earlier, but wow, that was impressive. your were interactive and played really well on your violin, I will say Iden, no faults in this performance! Well done!" Jinyoung cheered. Iden bowed down and shuffled back to his place in his line and placed his head on Zhujiang's head and made a little whine.
"Ah~ So embarrassed." Whispered Iden, making Zhujaing laugh a little.

Sungjun waltzed into the lime light, and already stood in his first pose, his flowy white blouse, and tight blak jeans tightened around as he took one final breath before the calm music began to play

The studio grew wide-eyed at the performance, even Jinyoung and Sanghwan grew wide-eyed, all practically becoming breathless. The three other boys cheered loudly, like has happened for the first two performances too, causing the studio to follow through their surprise.
Sanghwan was the first to speak,
"Weren't you at the bottom of your dance class?" Sanghwan asked, Sungjun stood absolutely still and shyly nodded. "Well that just shows I've been gone for a long time because JESUS! You just rose too the top!"Sanghwan exclaimed,
"Thank you hyung!" Sungjun exclaimed and thanked his long-time friend.

Jinyoung still shocked took his turn to speak, "I-I mean i'm speechless, you are really going to bring your all this time?" Jinyoung asked.
"This is my last chance, gotta give it all I've got." Sungjun stated Jinyoung smiled and noddded, "Good, honestly nothing wrong with this performance, so you are free from me, for now." Jinyoung joked as Sungjun bowed and walked back to his original position.

Last in line was Byul, he came to the center of the stage, and waited a piano melody came.

Te audience cheered for the rapper, the panel had smiles on their face. Sanghwan moved to his microphone straight away. 
"By far out all of the raps we have heard tonight. This one seems to be the only one that shows your colour, so I congratulate you for that." Sanghwan quickly stated before slouching back in his chair. Jinyoung continued from their,
"I would defiantly agree with Sanghwan, but it was just missing something, i'm not sure what, but it was just missing something. Maybe it was you actually playing the piano. But thank you for the very beautiful performance."

Byul bowed and thanked the judge before he lead the third group out from the stage. Sanghwan leaned into Jinyoung and whispered
"This is so far the only group where everyone has impressed me." He stated

╳

The final group of boys waltzed onto the stage, while BB diverted automatically to the center of the stage. 

The studio applauded and BB bowed, smiled, waved and pretty much did the whole routine that an idol would do to thank their loving, loyal fans. 
Jinyoung to applauded but however sighed when BB, finally, gave them his attention. 
"BB, I hate to say this, but I am bit disappointed in this performance, it seemed much better when you first audition, but now, it just doesn't seem to live up to it's original. However, it was a very colorful performance, you kept the same amount of hype as you always had, keeping the audience engaged, and just by far, the stage with the best stage presence" Jinyoung finished, BB nodded his head and quietly headed back to his spot, Yoosung looked over,
"Are you ok?" He asked, BB nodded.
"Part of the plan, but it was a bit quicker than I expected." BB stated rolling his eyes and smally laughing.

A piano was rolled out onto the stage, as Won took his seat on the piano. He looks a bit like me? Sanghwan thought before he began to play the piano

The studio cheered for Won as he stood up and bowed, the piano moved away from behind him swiftly, as he also swiftly returned to the middle of the stage. 
Sanghwan laughed, "Can I call you my doppelganger?" Sanghwan asked, Won laughed and nodded, Sanghwan cheered for his new found doppelganger. 
Jinyoung laughed, then he continued to make his judgement. "Overall a veyr good presentation, but the only thing that worried me was the dance once you were off of the piano, it didn't really seem as sharp as the song demanded it to be." Won nodded his head in agreement. 
"At least he knows." Sanghwan commented, "So mature." He cooed.
Won bowed before returning to his position.

He stopped Joonhyuk, wraping his arm around the youngest and leaning down to the younger and whispered in his ear, "Good Luck." Joonhyuk smiled and nodded before continuing to go to the center.
"TIME OUT!" Sanghwan called standing and forming a T with his arms, Joonhyuk froze in his place, "How old are you?" Sanghwan asked oh so urgently.
"Um 13?" Joonhyuk answered. The low voice ringed in Sanghwan's voice as his jaw dropped.
"Jesus is that your real voice?" Sanghwan asked in concern, Joonhyuk shyly nodded. Sanghwan sat down, bewildered, by not only his voice, but his age.

The studio cheered for this ever so special performance, Sanghwan ended up in a standing ovation. Joonhyuk laughed and bowed.
"You my friend, are a legend!" Sanghwan chanted, "You dance is very mature for your age Joonhyuk, and I think you should be proud of that!" Sanghwan exclaimed Joonhyuk laughed and thanked him, Jinyoung continued. "The only thing I picked up is that at some parts you didn't really seem comfortable in what you were doing, so next time you make a routine just be careful and make a choreography that will suit you." Jinyoung finished his little judgement. Joonhyuk bowed and once again thanked before gleefully walking back to his own position.

Last one to go Yoosung
Yoosung: Sure I was praising going last, but now there is just a lot of pressure, I mean looking at everyone else's performance, it can defiantly make your body just drop in fear
He came to his position in the center, and he just let the melody fly him into the song

The studio applauded the hard work of the eldest contestant. Yoosung bowed and he awaited the final judgement of Jinyoung and Sanghwan.
"I didn't know you were in this?" Sanghwan questioned, "You never told me?" 
"You didn't tell em either." Yoosung cheekily responded. Sanghwan shrugged.
"Yoosung well done, it must be hard to be the oldest?" Jinyoung asked, Yoosung vigorously nodded. "Anyways good as always, but that's the problem, good as always. You sing very similar style songs, so maybe you might want to expand and look at a completely different style to maybe add to your song list?" Jinyoung advised.
"I will try you can bet that." Yoosung stated as he walked to join his group of four.

A few moments later the rest of the boys reunited on the stage, instead of sitting in their seats they stood in one nice line, with the three judges standing in front of them.

"Now, during this time that you have performed, viewers were asked to nominate their top 5 trainees in order. By either commenting or sending us an SMS." Jackson explained.
"Now these votes mean a lot, as they will decide if you're on Team Major or Team Minor, and these teams change their line-up. The final team Major will be debuting under JYP later this year" Jinyoung cut in, many of the boy jaws dropped, debut. Something that'll be fighting for the next while. Jackson continued.
"The more votes you have, the more likely you will be on team Major, now being on team major is a huge advantage, they will have 'nicer' conditions, such as choosing their song, having a 9-5 practice time, better living conditions, AND they will have the assistance of Jung Sanghwan." 

"While team minors will have very little of that, no choices, trainee living conditions and a 5-9 practice team, and they will not have the assistance of Jung Sanghwan. For now, the top 8 trainees with the most votes will go into Team Major, and bottom 8 will go into Team Minor."

"One last thing, If you have the most votes, then you will receive a special privilege, being the Major of Majors, those conditions are private. If you are the final Major or Majors, then you will become the leader of the boy-group. And of course, if you have the lowest votes you will be the minor of minors, once again, private conditions."

Looks were exchanged, many predictions said before they were called out have all gone, because it' the audience deciding.

"Shall we reveal the teams?" Sanghwan suggested
