; the elimination begins.

star master Lee Minhyuk reminds us of which teams and trainees won the benefit, and then reminds us that even though the trainees have all been preparing for the artist's mission, only about half of them will get to perform those songs. Then he says, “ Planet World's Second Elimination – begins now.”

then he started announcing the ranking, starting with rank 13 which is Jay. he had dropped 3 ranks, and is now 3 ranks away from the debut team.

then next was rank 15. "please be seungeon" I mumbled to myself. it was jongwoo. he did great, he's an awesome leader. he climbed so high man! wouldn't be shocked if he's in the debut team next round. " you deserve it!!" I said while clapping. 

then next rank 17. cmon just say yoo seongeon already. come on, this is the Ariana Grande high pitch-singing guy. Come on !! " it's Yoo Seung Eon" YES! YESSS!! YEAAAAA girl I was mentally partying.

"well done seung eon hyung," I said clapping.

seungeon speech made me tear up, especially with his breaking voice. but I can't cry, I have mascara on and no one told me if it's waterproof or not. so I cannot cry. nope. hold it. suck it back. that's right

then the announcement continued, at this point, I was praying for everyone. especially Yuehua trainees. I also prayed for many others. like Jihoo, kamden, and many more.

Is there another survivor? Yes, there is! It’s the trainee in 26th place. everyone's hoping for their friends to survive – maybe it’s Cai Jin Xin? He was 25th at the end of episode 6. Brian? hopefully Brian, or woongki!

Minhyuk gave a clue – the survivor performed either an NCT 127 or a The Boyz song for the Star Level Test. That means it’s either Cai Jin Xin, Woongki, Ji Yun Seo, or Brian. Based on episode 6 ranking, it seems like it has to be one of the first two….

… and it turns out – it’s Woongki! I shot to my feet in happiness, followed by Hoetaek. Meanwhile, Woongki himself, who must have been holding himself together with paperclips and chewing gum, bursts into just full-on sobs, while Cai Jin Xin, gave him a tight comforting hug.

but then we're told there were no more survivors. what about park jihoo? he's a talented man. oh... "Brian?" I asked, so what about Brian? I looked at Brian and found Zhanghao also looking at him. then zhanghao eyes shifted and stared at me, his gaze softened and gave me a sad smile and I returned it.

(the boys’ field day)

I watched as the boy enjoyed and had fun. I wasn't able to attend as I had a really important exam that I had to take that day. so I couldn't join.

[ cut ]

" THEY DIDN'T ADD MY SCENE " Hyunbeen complained when the video ended making me giggle. now coming back to the elimination:(...

now, I'm standing beside Keita holding onto his hands as they announce rank 14. "Park Hanbin?" I whispered to Keita but apparently I wasn't soft enough because that man turned to me when I said his name.

then he announced that it was indeed park hanbin, and it was adorable how the first person he looked at was me then his teammates who congratulated him sincerely.

then while moving to the centre he looked at me and scrunched his nose. Weirdo. and then Ricky got 14th place.

Park Hanbin says, “Thank you, Star Creators, for letting me take this high-rank place. I won’t take this lightly. I’ll try to be a person who fits this place.”

Then Minhyuk asks him if there was any trainee who made him upset, and he says it was Han Yujin for not letting him "kiss him or even touch him but he lets Jiaqi hug him and play with his hair and hand and everything ! " GIRL.

do you know that yujin was complaining to me about how everyone keeps kissing him and that they were going to wipe his make-up off with their lips? it's honestly hilarious.

I got rank 9 again and Keita got rank 8 again. I hope it stays the same.

Haruto was the last survivor.

Then Minhyuk congratulates the trainees who have made the cut, but warns them that they’re still not safe. To the Star Creators, he says, “For the trainees who are desperately awaiting your love and cheer, we would be grateful if you would give them your precious one vote.” Park JiHoo looks dead to the camera and mimics tapping on a phone. I love that kid!
