girlfriend: "Hello?"
soobin: "Hey..."
girlfriend: "Is everything alright?"
soobin: "No. It's why I'm calling you."
girlfriend: "What happ-"
(thud)
soobin: "What was that?"
girlfriend: "Nothing. Just background noise. So, what happened?"
soobin: "It's the coach. He doesn't want me to play in the first game."
girlfriend: "What? Why?"
soobin: "It's the video. The school of the team that we're playing against found it and they're using it against our team."
girlfriend: "Ah, I see. Makes sense."
soobin: "....huh?"
girlfriend: "Look, Soobin, videos like that... even if it gets erased, it gets duplicated and people remember it. It makes sense why the coach is benching you. He just wants to protect the reputation of the team."
soobin: "But I'm not going to do anything to mess up the reputation of the team and he should know that by now, considering I've been on the team for a few months already. Doesn't he trust me?"
girlfriend: "It's more complicated than that and you know it. Just tough it out for now. I'm sure he'll still have you play here and there."
soobin: "And what if the other schools we end up playing against find the video, too? Is he just gonna bench me the whole season?"
girlfriend: "If he does, would it be so bad?"
soobin: "Of course it would. I want to play."
girlfriend: "And you will, just from time to time, that's all."
soobin: (silence)
girlfriend: "Just consider it taking one for the team. You're doing them a favor. Be grateful that the coach even let you in."
soobin: "I am."
girlfriend: "I've gotta get going but we'll talk again soon, okay?"
soobin: "Okay."
girlfriend: "Bye. Miss you."
soobin: "Bye."
