Training base.

Although the trainees knew today was the day of eliminations, they still woke up early, as usual, and ran two laps around the playground.

Originally, they complained a lot about the morning run, but after persisting for many days, they somehow got used to it.

Perhaps more than anything, it was a matter of not wanting to let go. Days like this, where they sang and ran together, might not continue from today onwards.

Around 8:30 AM, all the trainees were dressed and ready, entering the familiar studio once again.

After enjoying breakfast with Qin Lu, Fan Xi was in high spirits. Upon seeing Jin You'en, she rushed up to him, leaping from behind to grab him by the neck. "Jin Milk, morning!"

Caught off guard by the sudden grip, Jin You'en exclaimed, "Let go of me, Fan Cola!"

He patted Fan Xi's arm a couple of times before finally freeing himself from her grasp, adjusting his tie that had been knocked askew with a displeased expression.

Qin Lu appeared beside Fan Xi and asked, "Didn't you go to the cafeteria, You'en?"

With one hand still holding onto Fan Xi, Jin You'en, with a slight smile on his single-lidded eyes, replied, "I went back to the dorm to wash my hair after the morning run."

Qin Lu wasn't sure if this was a common habit among Koreans, but whenever there was time, Jin You'en washed his hair both in the morning and at night. Sometimes Fan Xi would be so tired that she'd just go to sleep after catching her breath, but Jin You'en had an unwavering habit of maintaining his appearance, almost to the point of being OCD.

He had to wash his hair before bed and before going out.

While Qin Lu was lost in thought, Jin You'en suddenly scrutinized Fan Xi. "Why do I feel like you've gained weight?"

Fan Xi, who had just eaten braised pork rice not long ago, coughed nervously. "Is that true?"

Jin You'en lifted his eyelid expressionlessly, then grinned at Fan Xi's perplexed expression. "Of course I'm kidding."

Fan Xi: "..."

She kicked towards Jin You'en in frustration, but he agilely dodged, leaving her grinding her teeth in annoyance.

Not all the trainees were as mentally composed as Fan Xi and her group. Especially those in the lower ranks were visibly anxious despite their efforts to stay spirited.

Among the individual trainees, only Qin Lu and Han Suyan remained. After the trainees from the same company took their seats, producer Cui Zhihao quickly entered the studio.

He always appeared impeccably dressed in a suit whenever he faced the trainees, unlike mentor Yin Sulie who completely let loose and often wore eccentric outfits, or mentor Yao Chen who mostly dressed casually in sportswear.
