30 minutes ago;
Bobae picked up Jun's mother at the store as she was on her way to the house.
"Bae-yah, you should be prepared for disappointment," Sa-Eun told her.
"Disappointment?" She didn't understand her words. "What do you mean?"
Sa-Eun replied, "It's been three-four months since he woke up. Not once he had asked about you. Jun doesn't admit it but he was missing a lot of memories than he said he was."
"Well, let's just hope that wasn't the case, then," Bobae said with a smile. However, inside, she was hoping he wouldn't forget her of all people.
After all, they almost grew up together and have a lot of memories from childhood. It's almost impossible…
That was what Bobae hoped half an hour ago.
But, now, looking at Jun's greeting, she strongly suspected he doesn't remember cuz he never greeted her in a polite way.
Despite being 3 years younger than her, this brat never once greeted her politely. He always greeted her casually with, "Hey."
"Uhh…" Jun doesn't know how to respond to her question. He suspected whether they also dated or something… After all, the past Jun is popular with girls and dated his two years older senior.
In the end, he decided to be honest. "No, I don't… Sorry…"
Bobae was disappointed and also angry at the same time.
Even if he doesn't remember her, he should have at least recognized her. She was in the Entertainment business for the past 15 years and is widely popular.
Jun's mother then introduced her, "she's your paternal cousin. Your uncle, Han Chuwon's daughter. Both of you grew up together when our families stayed in the same house back at Itaewon."
*Ding! A missing memory has been discovered. Merging it into the host's memories.
Jun was taken aback. He suddenly realized that he can get back his missing memories by meeting with the people he knew from before.
"Ah! It's you…" Jun reacts with a surprised look after suddenly receiving memories of past Jun with his cousin.
They were both born in the same house and grew up together until he was eight.
After his father died when Jun was at the age of eight, with the insurance money, Sa Eun shifted to a different house a year later and set up the music store.
They stayed for seven years in that new house before shifting to the current apartment.
The only problem is that he didn't have any memories of her after he was nine.
So, he wasn't sure whether they interacted after they shifted to a new house or not as she went on becoming a child-actress to act in many films and dramas later on.
"Sorry about that… Noona…" Jun grinned and spoke in a casual tone. "I can only remember childhood memories. You were scolded by grandpa for stealing my ice cream."
After the words escaped from his mouth, he paused for a second in surprise as it came out so naturally. He was used to Dahyun and his mom but wasn't used to it regarding everyone else.
It was also one of the reasons Jun kept Somi distant. He was worried that he might act like past Jun before her and ended up doing something that he wasn't comfortable with.
"Seriously, can't believe you remembered such a stupid event of all things…" Meanwhile, Bobae was annoyed but at the same, she was happy that he recovered…
A couple of hours later, both of them left home without waiting for dinner. Jun left for the dorm and she left for her home.
Since she's an actress, Jun thought there would be paparazzi following. Why give them a chance to create a rumor over nothing.
So, he left by bus.
The next day;
In the early morning, the contestants hurried to the training facility to see how they were sorted.
Like before, Jun saw the lists on the two notice boards that were on the opposite walls on the entrance hall. On the left, girls gathered and on the right, the boys gathered.
Jun quietly waited for his turn.
He saw three lists under each judge's name.
Remembering that their choices were taken into consideration, Jun directly looked at the list under YG.
And as expected, his name was registered under him. So, for the rest of the month, his training will be looked after YG and monitored by the mentors from Genesis.
"Hyung… We ended up in the same group…" Daniel was all smiles that they get to stick with each other once again.
Since they were already good friends and practiced together, even if they were grouped together later for a performance, it will be much easier than with other people.
Coincidentally, Little Yeongue also became their team member. So, the three of them united once again.
Meanwhile, Shonwu was assigned to JYP's team. On the other hand, Shonwu's buddy was assigned to the Bravebrothers team.
A while later, the three of them arrived.
Team YG has gathered on the Second floor, Team JYP on the ground floor while Team Bravebrothers on the first floor.
Team YG has 34 girls and 33 boys. Jun saw including him, there are 7 people that claimed the top 21 seats.
'So, it was just an equal distribution, huh!' thought Jun before he saw a list in YG's hands.
He announced to them. "I'm going to announce the teams for this week's evaluation. Listen carefully.
First, Girls…"
After making them into five groups with an eight-member group, two six-member groups, and two seven-member groups, he turned to boys and divided them into two seven-member groups, one nine-member group, and two five-member groups.
Jun ended up in one of the five-member groups. This time, he was in the same group as Yeongue while Daniel was assigned to a different five-member group.
"Boys, Team A leader- Kang Daniel, Team B – Kim Hyungwon, Team C- Nan Yejun, Team D – Han SungJun, and Team E – Ra Jesun."
Looking at the girls and then boys, he further said, "I'm just appointing you as leaders for now. Based on your performance for the next three days, I'll decide whether you are suited for leadership or not.
Okay, now that the teams are settled, let me inform you about your training space.
201 to 204 are for girls and 205 to 208 are for boys.
But since there are ten groups and eight rooms, one of the rooms will have to be shared by Team-D and Team-C from each side.
So, both of your teams might have fewer practice hours than others.
But then again, your performances are different from other groups. As you can see, Team C is full of dancers and Team D is full of singers/songwriters. It was divided the same way for others too.
Every weekend is a three-way battle. Team A will face off against other Team As for the same performance, Team B will face Team B of JYP and Bravebrothers, etc…
Now, any doubts?"
A girl raised her hand with hesitation.
"Yes."
She spoke, "I haven't received the card, yet."
"Oh! You can just provide your ID at the reception and take it." After answering her, YG looked at Jun.
Jun nodded, implying that he understood.
