Today is the day that Hanbin and Hao chose, to film their challenge. Since the apartment building Hao lives in, is surrounded by a pretty yard they decided to film there. Hanbin is very excited when he arrives in front of the gate, he then realises he has to pass the security guard again but this time he doesn't have any excuse. When he nervously walks up to the security guard he sees him already talking to someone. The pace of his heartbeat quickens when he recognises the boy, the security guard is talking to.

Seeing his new friend walk up to him, Hao immediately feels happy.He actually has been feeling happy ever since Hanbin replied to his message. He can feel his cheeks flush , when he makes eye contact with the other. How embarrassing, he thinks. "Hi Hao", Hanbin says also smiling widely.

"Hi Hanbin", he turns to the security guard, "He can be trusted, if he ever comes here, don't stop him."

"Okay Sir" the security guard replies.

"When will you ever stop calling me that"

"Never sir"

Hao frowns, "Well I'm not gonna stop telling you this either."

"Good night sir", the guard says with a smile.

Hanbin who has been watching the whole interaction, can't hide his smile. First of all he is very touched by the fact that Hao trusts him enough to tell the security guard about him. And second the whole interaction reminded him of the first conversation he had with the celebrity in that very building. The celebrity now turns to him with a bright smile "Should we go?". Hanbin just nods and follows the other . He follows Hao to a little white marble stone bench, he can see that the yard is definitely professionally taken care of, as flowers bloom beautifully everywhere he looks. "Just how rich are you?" He can't stop himself from asking, he feels like he entered a whole different world. He immediately hates himself for asking that question. 

Hao probably seeing how Hanbin regretted asking that question, quickly replies: "It's okay to ask, you can ask me anything, I know this is all a lot". He sighs, "When I was still in China , my parents gave me a lot of pocket money. They thought I would use it to party or to go shopping, but I tried to never use any of it. It felt like their way of showing interest in me was throwing money at me. I don't remember ever having an actual genuine conversation with them. I additionally also used to give violin lessons to kids, because I already really liked music a lot then, so I also earned money through that. I didn't want to tell my parents because they always seemed to think that any artistic activity was a waste of time, I didn't know they would be so against it though. I kind of just saved all the money, since I didn't really have anyone to go out with and since I have been so busy ever since my debut. I just wanted a home that felt safe, so soon after my debut I moved in here with all the money I had from the past." Hanbin can only stare at him, he feels pain in his chest after listening to the other boy. "It sounds like you've been feeling lonely for a long time, I'm so sorry about that, I'll make sure you don't have to feel lonely anymore.", he finally says. 

A bright smile now appears on the celebrity's face. Seeing that, Hanbin can feel warmth spreading in his stomach.

Hao can't believe he opened up like that to someone he only just met. He feels so relieved, he has been baring all these thoughts by himself for such a long time.
