After the episode of the 7 bags, the hunt to find out what Sunoo was hiding died down, but problems continue to arise. The members were practicing Blessed-Cursed, when Sunoo's phone rang.
Being Sunoo, he would pick up if he was free, and so he did not. The phone buzzed again, right after the song was over. Taking a quick break, he reached for his phone.
"Hello, this is Kim Sunoo speaking-"
"Kim Sunoo."
He froze, unsure of what to do, or how to react. That voice, he haven't heard that voice for nearly 3 years now.
"A. . . abbeoji (Father)."
As soon as that name came out, Niki throws a worried glance to him, the rest not understanding why he acted that way. Sunoo looks over to the rest, rushing out of the large practice room.
"You should know what to do." As his father hung up, the same chills ran up the poor boy's spine, recollecting how he lived in fear, competing against his twin his whole childhood, how his father made him the 1st place in everything, how his father practically owned everything Sunoo did, from his achievements, to every grade he got.
Collapsing on the couch at the lounge outside, the same fear he felt when he was younger came back instantly. From the very reason why he decided to become a K-pop trainee, to an idol, was all to get away from his father. Kim Jung Sik.
Kim Jung Sik was the boss, the CEO of Kim Corporation, Kim Foundation Centre, Kim Cultural Theatre, and Kim Medical Centre. He was on the list of Forbes richest people, ranking 30th in the world on the list.
Although Sunoo's father is so very successful, he hated his father, so much he wanted to get away from him. His father has the looks, the money, and the fame. Any human being would want to be in such a position. However, Sunoo knows what his father can do to get what he wants, and he always gets what he wants.
Sunoo's memory of his father was a very horrible one, from forcing Sunoo to study almost 24/7, to learning different types of Martial Arts from Taekwondo, to Hapkido, and Chinese Kung Fu. Sunoo's name Kim Sunoo is famous for being Kim Jung Sik's oldest son, who will inherit his father's entire fortune when he grows up, his father even planning to label him as the Prince of Korea.
As much as that may sound very nice to some, it is very painful to take in for Sunoo. The only decision Sunoo has made for himself was to go to Hanlim Arts High School and be a K-pop Idol.
Remembering all the pain from his childhood, he thought very hard at what his father told him about. In the midst of thinking, Niki snaps him out of his thoughts by inviting him back to the practice room to continue their dance practice. As calm and collected Sunoo may look like, his heart couldn't beat faster at the command his father gave him.
"I know you are an idol. But you better not forget what I have done for you your whole life. I clothed you and fed you, so you better do as I say and inherit the company. I don't care if you are going to do both or not, but you have to take my place when the time comes. I don't think you want to lose the spot to Sungjae, right?"
