“Practice is over for the night,” Manager-hyung says as shuts off the music and calls the choreographers to the side. INFINITE can only stare at him in shock –ending practice early? Impossible. “I’m serious. You guys need to be awake by 6AM tomorrow for Ranking King.”

The response is rather mixed. Dongwoo releases his purity through a series of jumps and kicks and energy that can be matched only by Sungyeol’s whooping, screaming, and running. Sunggyu is still having a hard time understanding that there will be second season of Ranking King; he is currently trying to ask Manager-hyung if he was in an accident and that’s why he can’t remember that Ranking King is over.

“Don’t get too excited yet.” Manager-hyung doesn’t just sound tired. He sounds exasperated, as though he just came from a very long fight with the President and production crew. “You guys are essentially going to date each other.” That sounds as though it would have caused a rather long fight indeed. 

“MOU?!?!”

The Seven Village Rules

1. Members will pick partners in descending order of rank. The member with the lower rank has no say in the couple. Work hard to become the highest ranked member.

2. If two people successfully become a couple five times consecutively, they will become a permanent couple. 

3. The member without a partner will be given a punishment mission instead, to be randomly drawn from fan-sent messages.

4. A member who fails to have a partner three times consecutively will be given first choice at the next couple selection.

5. There can be no lies in the village.

6. Members are not allowed to see (date) each other outside of filming. To facilitate this, cameras have been installed in the dorm and car. 

7. There will be no access to managers inside the village.
