KBIN - CALL ME K

SUMMER CAMP

- Hi Nicholas, is there anything that upsets you? 

- Why do we have to start from scratch just because you want to give those 6 another chance? This is the last test, it's our last chance to shine, to get more exposed to the audiences. Then why the heck you come up with such a ridiculous rule? You want to get rid of us already, right? 

- How many foreign trainees down there? 

- So what?

- You know, we can only debut one of you. Maybe some of you can move to part 2, but in the end, only one of you gets to debut. Sorry that we have to be that straightforward, but if you want to be that person, you should really watch your words.

- Oh I thought you were looking for a global group! 

- Well, we have American, Australian, Korean, and one more foreign trainee to add in. 7 members, 4 nationalities, isn't it global enough? 

- Ridiculous! Hanbin has had to work so hard for his part, and you just took it away from him? I wouldn't bring up all the other times you did him dirty, but this time, it really crossed the line!

- You seem to show a special interest in Hanbin. But, as we already said, although we'd love to debut you all, we can only debut one of the foreign trainees to make sure the team will do well here. If the chance comes, will you pass it to Hanbin? We hope you can think about it and know what and what not to do.

-Sure, pass it to him! 

That makes the producers speechless. They merely wanted to give Nicholas a subtle warning, but the sentence wasn't even finished yet, he already made up his mind.  

- If it's what you want, what can we do? We just hope that you won't regret it later. Now, if there's nothing else you would love to talk about, we've got something to discuss internally. 

Nicholas unconsciously walks towards the dorm, with thoughts filling his mind. Nicholas came here to look for Hanbin, and his dream is them two debuting together. After 350 long years looking for Hanbin, Nicholas just wants to spend every day, every moment with him. But if it's what the producers have in mind, what can he do then? Now, thinking about it, Hanbin's chance is actually slim. Other contestants are all East Asian while Hanbin is from Vietnam, a small country in the South. Vietnam actually belongs to the East Asian cultural sphere but who cares, it's now just a developing South East Asian country. The market is potential, but investments there are still considered risky. Hanbin, Iland, K, this combo of course doesn't sound good, but seeing Hanbin mistreated upsets Nicholas even more. Alright, what goes around comes around, there are still several days left and he should live it up. 

Summer Camp Day, July, 2020

K has never been to Ground, while Hanbin has never been to Iland. With the way things are happening, Hanbin is afraid that the summer camp will be his last chance to see K. Should Hanbin tell K the truth before it gets too late? If K debuts, there seems to be no chance of them being back together, given that they are mere strangers now. 

If Hanbin doesn't talk to K today, then chances might never come his way again.  

- Hanbin, if we cannot debut together, please keep in touch. I know you might be busy with your schedule, but please please don't just vanish. 

- Oh come on, I'm not that confident. I might tell K everything today...

Today? No, it can't be! Nicholas cannot tell Hung about the deal between him and the producers. But, Hanbin ah, you will go to Iland, you will see K there, you might even debut. But today, just today, please be with me only!
