“well that’s………….encouraging?”

“don’t worry, i’m sure it’ll be the same for you.”

“it goes both ways though, my man. you gotta look out for me too.”

“obviously i will. i might look soft but i’ll mess someone up if you need me to.”

“doesn’t bother me at all. unless they come for my brother or my girlfriend. then i’ll end them.”

“as you should, i could learn a lot from you. you’re really admirable.”

“i’m glad! i bet they were excited to see you debuted.”

“yeah they were, it was nice showing them that all my hard work payed off and it wasn’t a complete waste of time.”

“anytime. we’re teammates now, yeah? it’s my job.”

“good point, you wouldn’t be a very good teammate if you didn’t look out for me.”

“gotten used to it…a lack of caring. either or.”

“well at least you don’t care enough what they say... then it doesn’t bother you as much, right?”

“it’ll only get better from here.”

“so i’ve heard, i can’t wait to experience milestones like year anniversaries.”

“….friend points?”

“i mean true, but if you were to find out it was a lie then it’d be pointless. so i might as well tell the truth from the start.”

“you do. a little belief and a little trust can go a long way.”

“you're right, i’ll definitely try that.”

“i think so too! especially since i never get to see her.”

“in that case i hope you do, performing in front of my family was amazing after not seeing them for so long.”

“i’m sure you won’t.”

“thanks, you’re the best!”

“need a distraction?”

“what did you have in mind?”

“it’s normal to be nervous. just don’t let that stop you,” hyunjoo said. “there’s seven of us up there on that stage. you’re not alone. we all have your back.”

“i wont let it stop me. thanks for the encouragement.”

“no. but people get a lot less surprised when i say shit.”

“do you still get a lot of backlash for it or have people just gotten used to it?”

“i’ll say i said it. i could take him.”

“you definitely could.”

Yeonseok chuckled. “Well, then, I hope it does become a trend, if you think it would be cool.”

“i hope so too.”

“well, if you ever need support….i don’t know how much i can offer, but i’m here.”

“thanks, i might take you up on that offer someday soon.”
