⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

ENYO is buying our tickets so we can finally go inside! There are so many people coming here...

is looking around the place, amazed by how huge it seems to be, even though they still haven't seen anything from the inside.

finds herself being busy waving back at a young girl, ignoringwho is now filming her too.

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

[ waving at a girl ] Hello! You are very pretty! What's your name?

But the girl gets too shy and hides behind her parents.turns to , who has burst out laughing at the scene, finding it too cute, and at the same time, funny.

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

You scared the poor girl!

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

No, I didn't! Do you think she recognised us? She's nice, she's definitely our fan! Even though we still haven't met a lot of our fans. . .

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

[ shrugs ] I don't know, you tell me. You are the one with the superpower of recognising our fans!

is done buying the tickets after a few minutes, yet none of the girls notices her going back, as they are too focused on arguing in front of the camera.

It takes them a while to noticestanding there, looking at them with a confused look on her face, waiting for them to stop and possibly give her a good explanation of what is going on.

The both of them laugh as does a close up on's face, who is still confused.

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

[ still unable to stop laughing ] Here's ENYO as a meme for you to edit-

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

OKAY, ENOUGH!

brings her hand in front of the camera, and the screen turns black for a while, as she is covering it to keep from recording her even more. The only thing that can be heard are the girls shouting at each other random words that don't really make any sense and still laughing over 's facial expressions.

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

Sorry for this! [ laughs awkwardly ] We are here, in one of the biggest aquariums with our favorite tour guide, YI ENYO, to explore her amazing world of fish!

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

That's right! So you should prepare yourselves, because today, you, our Knights, will be joining us as well!

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

Do you both need to be so dramatic?

and only shrug, pretending not to understand, androlls her eyes at the two girls.

The video is then cut off by a black screen - nobody's hands this time - and the time stamp changes to 12:30 pm.

The image is blurry in the beginning, sincestruggles to hold the camera steady, but manages to fix it a few seconds later, and immediately switches the camera back to themselves.

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

It's really crowded, it's hard not to bump into someone. . .

nods, as she holds 's hand tightly, trying to keep them from getting separated and losing each other in the crowd. doesn't hesitate to focus on their hands for a few seconds, before lifts the camera back up again and films their surroundings.

There are many small and even some bigger stores, with stools outside, promoting their best goods. Some people are taking their time to browse through the variety of options, others are rushing to shop while there are even some who only make their way through the market to reach their desired destination.

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

[ eyeing every stall with food ] Can we buy something to eat? All this walking made me hungry!

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

It made you hungry? Not tired?

turns the camera towards where was supposed to be, right next to her, only to realise that the older girl has already walked off to somewhere on her own, without even waiting for her. She turns the camera to herself, focusing on her expression, which was mostly one of confusion. looks around, trying to spot among the people.

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

[ slightly panicked ] Where did she even go? If she got lost and the manager finds out-

seems to forget about having to film at the same time. The next few seconds are a literal chaos, with shots of the ground, random people passing by, her face, or even completely black because she keeps covering the camera with her hand in her attempts to not lose the phone.

Of course, for it seems hard to spot at first, but after a lot of running around, she finds her and doesn't really look that worried or even surprised anymore.

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

[ zooming in on SOOJIN ] Of course she would be doing that-!

The video shows tasting food samples from one of the stalls, making her guess that she also got to try more of them during the time the two were separated.walks towards her, trying to be as quiet as possible. She ends up managing to successfully scare her and film her reaction, which was none other than the older girl screaming.

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

[ still screaming ] CAN THIS PART GET EDITED OUT-?

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

[ shouting back at SOOJIN ] YOU LEFT ME TO TRY FOOD?

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

YES!

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

YOU TRIED FOOD WITHOUT ME?

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

YES! [ shoving a food sample in RYUJIN's mouth ] HERE, HAVE SOME TOO!

grabs the camera from's hands, now being the one in charge of all the filming. She turns the camera to show herself, trying to get back to being serious once again, but fails as she ends up laughing, while trying her next announcement.

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

Can this really get edited out? We can be too chaotic sometimes! Please don't show this when the episode gets released!

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

[ after being done eating ] No, please don't! Soojin screaming is too funny-!

only glares at but the younger soon joins in all the laughter, enjoying these moments with the fellow member. The two of them then keep walking through the market, now approaching different small stores selling goods that range from clothes to accessories. They exchange a look that is already enough for them to understand what they are going to do next; try on accessories.

The next few clips focus on the girls filming each other in different accessories, ranging from hats to sunglasses, sometimes them being fancy or just playing around and making fun and teasing each other because of how each other looks, laughing and enjoying themselves at that moment.

CHECKMATE DORMS ,, 4 HOURS LATER

Four hours later, the 5 girls - ,,,and- have already returned back to the dorms of Midnight, all tired but very satisfied and happy, and have joinedand, who were patiently waiting for them to return. The camera is settled in a way that is filming all seven of the CHECKMATE members, without them needing to hold the camera. Instead, they are all gathered in the dorm's kitchen, sitting around the table, all ready to eat and share details of what they did.

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

[ eyeing all the girls, extremely curious about what they did ] So, what had you planned for today? You were gone for hours!

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

Well, it isn't hard to guess with ENYO in our team, right?

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

Did she talk about fish again?!

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

[ almost choking on her food after hearing RAEMI's words ] Well she didn't only talk about fish...

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

I think she introduced us to every single fish in the aquarium... And there were thousands of them!

The rest of the girls turn to look at with weirded out expressions on their faces. raises her hands in defeat, though still ready to complain about what andhad said. She knows they are actually teasing her, and she just plays along, pouting before bring the glass of water to her lips, focusing her attention there for a few seconds.

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

What?! No, you liars! I know you had fun there with me!

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

Oh, there were a lot of our fans there too!

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

They weren't even that many-

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

[ ignoring ENYO ] And everyone is so nice, and I really loved them already!

⸝⸝⸃ !!

It's true, our fans are really so nice and supportive, we might even have the best fandom!

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

Of course we do! I hope we'll get to interact with them more!

Everyone nods in agreement to's words, getting even happier and more proud every time they talk about Knights, their fans. They all hope that they get to meet them and talk to them more, and they don't hesitate to express this wish publicly as well.

Now, it's time for them to turn their attention to and . They just look at the both of them, since they sit next to each other, and that's enough to make them realise that it's their turn to talk about their own small daily adventure.

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

So... We visited a place too, today-

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

[ interrupting SOOJIN by shouting ] A STREET MARKET!

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

Why are you shouting? I'm sure they can hear you if you just speak normally!

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

Do you really need to do me like that? Let be me enthusiastic!

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

[ already laughing too much at the both of them bickering ] I can't wait for this episode to be posted!

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

Shall we watch it together? It will be interesting to see what actually happened!

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

Woah~! Our leader has the biggest brain!

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

Well, she isn't CHECKMATE's braincell for nothing!

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

There's such a thing as CHECKMATE's braincell ?

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

[ nodding ] She is the leader for a reason!

then turns her attention to th remaining two girls, now her being the one to ask them what they filmed for the day for this episode's concept. and exchange a look, debating on who should start first, but only signals for the younger to go first.

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

As for me, I filmed something very special for all of our fans. I really love singing, and it's the best way to express myself, so I thought of recording a cover of one of my favorite songs.

nods at 's words, looking extremely proud of the group's main vocalist, and gives her a quick thumbs up, once again congratulating her about her performance back at the studio. The rest of the girls look at her in awe, already knowing that everything records turns out amazing and they agree that they need to hear it as soon as possible.

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

CELINE was there, she came to surprise me at the studio! She said I did really well!

and exchange a look, and laughs a bit, while saying something that couldn't be heard at the camera, but seemed like a thank you.

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

And I filmed something too, mostly to give advice to everyone and motivate them with a dance cover!

At this point, the rest of the six girls seem to be too whipped for , as they start to praise both her skills and how caring she is towards the fans.

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

Then, right after we were both done, we prepared all of this food, and waited for all of you to be back, so we can eat and spend the rest of the day together!

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

Huh?! What are we doing after this?

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

I think we first need to say goodbye to everyone who stayed with us and watched . This was the first episode of "

All seven of them wave goodbye to the camera, looking more than happy to have successfully finished this very first episode. However, the filming continues for a few more seconds, without the girls knowing about it, and now a decision needs to be made about what is to be done next.

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

Can we watch a movie?

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

No! Let's have a karaoke night instead!

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

How about we go out and play basketball?

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

Weren't all of you tired a while ago though?

⸝⸝ ⸃ !!

[ letting out a sigh ] Can't we go to sleep already?

With that, the dorms turn into a chaos with the girls refusing to agree with each other. The image fades slowly into a black one, and the logo of the group appears, announcing the end of the second and final part CHECKMATE's second episode.
