he stops the recording and gets dressed in his training outfit, it would've been too tricky (not to mention boring without someone to take nice shots of him) and bumpy to film anything while running so he waits until he's halfway done and taking a break at the park he oftens goes with miso before picking the recording where he left off earlier. "i try to run for about fourty-five minutes every day. exercising does help keeping me healthy but it also clears my mind, i guess? it's become a habit over the years so i do my best not to skip. even if i'd rather sleep in most days," he adds with a short laugh. he's definitely not an early bird but since he's aspiring to a great modeling career, he can't afford to neglect his body. he talks for a bit about nothing and everything, mostly the type of physical training he does to maintain his current shape. since they only get ten minutes overall, he doesn't want to spend too much time on each segment.

when he records again he's back at the dorm, in the kitchen with the camera resting somewhere on the counter, elevated enough for people to see his full upper body properly. he's smiling and looking up something on his phone, which he promptly shows them. it's a kimbap recipe, explained step by step. "that was actually my secret plan for today. i never cook," king admits guiltily. "i'm not even sure if i can cook rice without surveillance, but it's almost done... i think?" it's that bad, yes. he's never the one doing the cooking and while the other boys would scold him if he did the same for cleaning duties, they'd rather not be poisoned at all.

all of his segments so far have been incredibly calculated. the morning, no makeup look that is sure to have fans talk about how naturally handsome he is. the post-exercise look that will certainly get the same type of reaction: look how fit and healthy he is, look how handsome he is even while sweating. and this last segment of him clumsily cooking, admitting he's not the best cook but still trying his best for the sake of the video. he knows fans will find it honest and cute. he's aware of all of this and intends to use it to its full extent.

once the rice is ready, he presents the result to the camera so fans can see. it's pretty decent, as he followed the instructions kiyoung once told him. he never thought it would come in handy, but here we are. "i might be better at this than i thought," king praises himself as if it's not the easiest thing in the world. with all of the ingredients ready on the counter, he can finally assemble and make the rolls. "if i ever try something more difficult i'll need assistance." just the idea of using a stove sounds risky. with the kimbap ready and looking good, he calls in the guys into the kitchen. they arrive, somewhat clueless and looking at king's creation like they're not sure what's happening. it just looks like a leftover from two days ago, nothing very impressive. king is beaming, though. "i cooked something! well, mainly i cooked rice... and i cut the rest. but look!" they don't look very excited at the sight, and one asks him jokingly if he did all of this just for the camera. "i already told them, it's fine!" and he turns the camera back on himself with the boys in the background, trying the kimbap and giving their appreciation (thought there's not much to appreciate). "mission accomplished." and he gives a small wink. "i'll see you guys later."
