Hyewon, Mingzhu, Rena, Jinae, and Jaein sat in their vocal class with Seulji. As the younger four studied and worked away at school. Jibyul stretching as Haeryung put half her hair in a ponytail, Haeun covered as she yawned, Soyoung ran a hand through her hair. 

The older girls all exited the vocal room waving at the camera, Jaein drank out of her water bottle, Mingzhu smiled at the camera as she passed it, Rena used her whole body to wave, Hyewon smiled and gave a curt wave as Jinae moved side to side with a smile. The girls heading to the break room greeting a few male trainees whom greeted them with smiles conversing in the break room area.

The younger girls all entered the building, greeting the staff as they headed into the break room greeting some of the same trainees as a few male trainees followed behind them in uniforms. The girls grabbed their clothes to change into as they put their bags in their lockers, heading off to the restroom to change. 

Jibyul changed into a black crop top and a pair of black and white Addidas pants with black sneakers; Haeun in an oversized black shirt with some english accross the front  and a pair of black shorts underneath with a pair of sneakers, Jungkook bought her for her birthday. Soyoung changed into a loose fitting hoodie with a pair of black joggers and sneakers; Haeryung wore black leggings and a loose black tee with her white sneakers.

The four headed into the dance practice room where the others waited for them stretching a bit. They walked in greeting the girls again as Sunhwan and Seulha walked in after them, the girls standing in a line.

"As you know you will be starting your next evaluation. For this one, you have been spilt up into two groups, one of five, the other of four. " Sunhwan said crossing his arms.

"This evaluation is going to be a special one becuase, you wil be performing," Seulha paued, the camera cutting to the faces of the girls. "Your own songs. " The girls all looked at the trainers before them confused. "Written and produced by Jibyul. The demos are already assigned to each group. " Seulha said, Jibyul's eyes widened as she covered in mouth in shock athe others smiling and clapping for her. "The team she is on will have her to produce and work alongside her up to recording. While the other team will only be able to work with her during the MR recording." The girls all nodded Jibyul still having a hand over .

"As you know the show will no even air until next month. You must be wondering when this evaluation will be. Your final Evaluation will be in January." Sunhwan said, the girls all looked at each other in shock. "Not only will yoou be working on this one song, you will be broken up into another group by mid-august, for another song. In total you will be performing 4 of Jibyul's songs.  The official set list is being finalised. But, be ready to refresh yourself on some old songs." Sunhwan expanded the girls nodded. 

"Rena, and Haeun being ranked first and second respectively makes you two, our strongest girls. With that we spilt you up, Rena team and Haeun team. Jibyul, Haeryung, Jaein, and Hyewon, will be on team Rena. Jinae, Mingzhu, and Soyoung will be on Haeun's team. Here are lryic sheets." Seulha said, the two trainers handing out the sheets to the team members. 

"Not only are these produced by one of your own. Rap lyrics will be written by the rappers as well, or the ones that want to rap." Sunhwan said, the girls all looked at each other again, now a reoccuring theme.

"Choreo will be created by your own as well. Good luck." Seulha said, giving them a small smile the two heading out of the room. 

7:56 PM

"If you want a rap part I'm gonna suggest to write it ahead of time and durign recording sessions I can determine whose will fit better." Jibyul explained, feeling weird she had to take charge over the older girls.  "Haeun team's song has two place for raps in the beginning of both verse 1 and verse2. Rena's team, has three possible rap places, which can be adjusted to two if need be." She pointed out, the girls all nodded.

Jibyul, sat inront of the computer with Sunhwan whom was going to work the system for her while she listened to the girls. Haeun's team walked in first, greeting the young girl whom waved to them, her kind eyes hidden under the shadow of her baseball cap. The four sat before her, as she turned her chair to face them with a lyric sheet before her. 

"Who wanted the first rap slot?" She asked looking at them her eyes staying on Jinae before moving to Soyoung whom was looking at Jinae, as the oldest of the team raised her hand, Jibyul nodded and wote her name down on her music sheet. "Yongie wants the second verse rap, right?" She asked, Soyoung nodded at the olders question. "Great lets do a run through of the raps." Jibyul said, and nodded to Sunhwan to start the demo track so they could do a run through.

After they ran through both raps Jibyul nodded with a smile. 

"They were both good. Mingzhu and Haeun you did vocal trained with Seulji-nim, right?" She asked, the two nodded, Jibyul smiled and turned back around. "Lets have Haeun go first, then Soyoung so they can go do their homework." Jibyul said.
