“Thank you, brother... I really love you very much.”

“I love you too.”

"Really... So let's go on a date?"

Downpour

“Where is Hyun Bin?”

If it had been before, Hwang Minhyun would have been startled and turned around to look for the big, frightened junior. But because now everyone knows that Hyun Bin has improved and is practicing many times more diligently than before. Plus, the show ended with the results already announced. So he didn't feel too worried but couldn't help but look around to find the other person as well.

“Minhyunna, have you seen Hyunbin?”

Small eyes turned to look at senior Jisung, who was known as one of the most emotional trainees on the show. Minhyun had just finished taking a shower and changing clothes and hadn't spoken a word to Hyun Bin yet. So he had no answer for the senior who was standing spinning in front of him.

“I haven't seen it either. If so, would you like me to call you?”

“Oh, no need to, I just wanted to stop by and meet him out to get something delicious to eat,” a smiling Jisung explained. “Try hard. So I'd like to give you a little thank you party."

“Oh... I tried, hyung,” Minhyun pretended to complain while looking at the hammer. “How can you raise only that one?”

“Yah....don't say that. You're richer than me. If you really want to go along You must be the one to raise me and Hyun Bin.”

Upon seeing this stick, Minhyun could only shake his head and let out a smile. I really have to raise Hyun Bin. He must have withdrawn all the money in his account. That giant kid eats like anything.

“Let's just say that if you see Hyun Bin, tell him to stop by my room and meet me.”

“Yes, hyung, I'll tell you,” Minhyun replied to his senior before using it to rub his own hair that was still slightly damp. He felt so tired that he wanted to jump on the bed and go to sleep right now. But because tonight many stories happened. Even if he was more tired, Minhyun wasn't sure he would fall asleep.

Score in the round

Position

His was not very satisfactory. Even though they got second place in the group But when everyone's scores are arranged together Minhyun fell in a lower ranking than he had hoped for. Of course, he didn't want to blame anyone but himself for not trying hard enough. But next time, Minhyun vowed that If he makes it to the round of thirty-five, that's for sure. He would try ten times harder.

“I'm sorry.”

His thoughts were interrupted when his face suddenly became distraught. The giant child suddenly inserted himself. Hyun Bin is the only one in the group.

Downpour

Who cried even though the show wasn't over yet And because of that, Hyun Bin could only apologize repeatedly even though Minhyun saw that it didn't hurt the show in any way.

Where have you gone?

Minhyun grumbled in his heart as he looked at Hyun Bin's bed on the second floor. Normally, Minhyun would be able to find Hyun Bin by his bed, but if he couldn't, the only place he could think of would be there...

The towel that was draped over his shoulders was thrown onto the chair next to the bed. Minhyun then walked out of the room and headed towards the practice room on the other side. I wasn't too surprised to find many other trainees sitting together, talking and singing together. This might be the last time all fifty-nine of us will have a moment like this together. But how tired? Everyone probably wants to keep the good memories they have together as much as possible.

Minhyun walked up to the second floor and chased through the practice rooms that seemed to be almost all being used. The entire room is soundproofed for practicing singing. Dance practice room that is currently not needed Everyone probably couldn't sleep like him, especially the three winners who had received 100,000 special points to hug.

"Yah..come and hide here."

A soft, sweet voice spoke to himself before pushing open the door to the soundproof room that had previously been used as the Sonaki team's practice room. Minhyun raised his hips and looked at the older boy who was wearing headphones and listening to music on his phone. Sighing softly, he slowly closed the door and walked in to sit next to him. Like I always do

“Why are you sitting here?” Minhyun asked first. Then he slowly glanced at the phone to see what song the other person was listening to. “Are you still listening to Sonaki?”

The answer was only a suspicious silence. Minhyun stared at his junior's face before moving a little closer. His eyebrows furrowed as he discovered that in the silence there was a faint sound of sobbing.

“Hyun Bin Na.. are you crying again?”

“Not at all,” Hyun Bin replied before quickly using the back of his hand to wipe away the clear water. that is stained on the cheek

“Yah...stop crying. You did your best.”

"I said I didn't cry."

Minhyun didn't bother, but moved forward and ran his hands through his hoobae's hair affectionately. He knew how tired Hyun Bin was from this show. This child just cried and his voice was distorted, but suddenly he had to sing for the whole country to hear. As long as he didn't throw the microphone away or run off stage in the middle of the show, Minhyun was very grateful.

“It's sad...this song.”

Soon a low voice broke the silence. Hyun Bin slowly turned to look at Minhyun. Do your best to swallow back the tears that will come out again.

“On stage, I...didn't think I would cry.”

“Because you are full of it. You put all your feelings into it,” Minhyun replied. “I think it's great.”

The listener smiled slightly. Since we've known each other, Minhyun has always been like this. His hyung sees everything in a positive light and never hurts anyone's feelings. It was one of the millions of advantages that made Hyun Bin unable to stay away from this older brother.

"I'll pack my things tonight."

"Why keep it? It hasn't been announced yet who gets which song."

That's right, right now the staff hasn't told them which songs each of them received from the viewers' votes. So it was time to move rooms again. They had to stay in the same room for now.

“Do you think I'll be able to perform next time?” Hyun Bin asked, his voice shaking. “There are thirty-five remaining qualifiers that are about to be announced. I...there's no way I can get through.”

And in the end, Minhyun realized that the reason why Hyun Bin was hiding and crying alone was because Hyun Bin was afraid. This kid was discouraged and thought that he would never be able to advance in the upcoming voting.

“At that time... I didn't want to come to this program at all. But because someone said that if I come, I will have more popularity. There are more fans. When I leave the show, I will have a job and more money. I don't expect myself to be in the top eleven, I just want to be famous, I want to have a lot of money. So how is it...

Just the first week I almost died."

The audience laughed dryly when they thought of the hardships Hyun Bin had to face, not being able to dance, not being able to sing. Luckily, the rapper was able to handle it. Otherwise, this guy would definitely cry and beg to withdraw.

“When we performed the song

sorry sorry

I secretly hope a little. I thought I would lose and be eliminated. I've got the flow. Gained a lot of additional fans as well. But when I saw the score on the screen... His feelings are gradually changing. I can do it, maybe not as well as you or Sungwoo hyung. But I did it.”

“I saw it... And the audience saw it too.”

Hyun Bin smiled a bit before falling silent as if he was thinking about something. Small eyes looked steadily at Minhyun who was always good at listening to others. I just thought that soon we would have to leave each other. Hyun Bin was so shocked that he wanted to cry again.

"elder sibling..."

"How is it going"

“If this time I really have to be eliminated. I have to hurry. Eliminated, follow me.”

“This kid, do you want to die?” Minhyun straightened up and looked at the green-eyed younger sibling. “I have to debut. Anyway, I have to be in the final eleven.”

“Uncle! Doing that makes me very lonely.”

“It's your business. If you don't want to be lonely, try hard and make it to the final eleven. Jonghyun hyung already told you to practice hard. After all, the audience must see your efforts.”

The giant child pouted after his older brother assured him that he would never do as he asked. If Minhyun really makes it to the final eleven. There may not be any chance of meeting each other. National boy band How will we have time to sit and drink coffee, eat cake, and hang out all day like before?

“You can do it. This isn't the first time you've pushed your limits.”

Your smile and the warm touch of your palm on your thigh. This made Hyun Bin smile widely for the first time. Hearts that were depressed and discouraged found the strength to continue beating. Everyone said that Jisung was a positive energy that made everyone smile. But for Hyun Bin Minhyun is the true positive energy.

Minhyun's words and touches didn't just make him smile. But it also helps to have encouragement and to want to get up and fight for many more times.

“Thank you, brother... I really love you very much.”

“I love you too.”

"Really... So let's go on a date?"

wad!!

Minhyun slammed his fist at his younger sibling when he suddenly asked him out on a date. People are truly touched. But instead, they made silly jokes. If they knew they would irritate each other like this, they would. Minhyun wouldn't waste time walking around and getting tired.

“It hurts. Even though I'm big, my heart is fragile, hyung.”

“I just wanted to say something crazy,” Minhyun replied in a green voice before sighing in boredom. “Sigh! Go ahead, get up and wash your face and eyes and get ready for bed. Oh, when Jisung hyung told me that I will take you to a thank you party.”

“Eh! Jisung hyung?”

“Um, he wants to thank you for the hard work you put into rehearsing to make today's show come out well. But I don't know any details. If you want to stop by and talk to him in his room first, it would be better.”

“And you, will you go with me?”

“No,” Minhyun shrugged. “Your date. I don't want to get in the way.”

“Eh!! Let's go together. We can go on a date as a threesome."

Phew!

"Ouch!"

Hyun Bin cried out and held his forehead, which had just been hit hard by his senior. The model's handsome face began to wrinkle. Even though he was bigger than him, Hyun Bin never dared to counter or do anything to Minhyun to get revenge even once.

“Uncle! Making a fuss is causing bodily harm.”

“Well, you're really a hit,” Minhyun grumbled angrily. “That's enough. I'm too lazy to waste time talking to you. Get up. There's still a lot of work to do tomorrow.”

He didn't say anything, but Minhyun also pulled the older junior's arm up. No matter how much you feel annoyed. However, Hyun Bin is not someone that Minhyun can abandon. Even if you have to stumble more than this He will take this child with him to the end.

Minhyun knows that Hyun Bin wants Minhyun. Just as Minhyun knew that he wanted Hyun Bin by his side as well.

"elder sibling..."

“What else?”

“I'm joking.”

“Which story?”

"It's about telling you to hurry up and get eliminated..." Hyun Bin answered. “But about dating. I'm really saying, when you're free, let's go on a date. I'm going to take lots of pictures and post them on IG. I want to show off."

Minhyun said he wouldn't laugh anymore. But when he turned and saw Hyun Bin's stupid face, he couldn't help but do it anyway. This kid keeps saying things like this. If going out together was called a date, He and this guy have dated dozens and hundreds of times.

"Okay, a date is a date."

“True! I already said it!!”

"Yes!!"

“Then when the date is over, you have to kiss too!!”

“You brat!!” Minhyun cocked his fist because he wanted to hit the greedy junior right in the face. “If you're asking that much, let's get to the round of thirty-five first.”

“Say it like this, it means If I make it to the next round, you will date me and let me kiss you, right?”

"Yes"

“True!!”

"Yes!"

“Say it and I won't go back on my word, brother. I will go and ask Jonghyun hyung to be a witness.”

“This guy! Stop worrying and go back to your room to rest. If you don't stop talking again, I regard all of the matters we discussed as invalid.”

“Brother!!”

Minhyun couldn't stop listening to Hyun Bin's voice again. He shook his head and got out of the room, the other party running behind him. He tried to suppress his smile as he thought of the conditions that Hyun Bin had to make. A date with a kiss like that? If it really would get this kid past the round of thirty-five, then Minhyun would be worth it.

END

This Friday, let's find out the results.

I hope Hyun Bin makes it past the round of 35 ^^
