boss: "Take care, [y/n]! Thank you for all your help today!" 

y/n: "Of course!" 

(BOSS leaves)

y/n: (whistling "Boy With Luv")

unknown: "[y/n]."

y/n: (stops biking) 

unknown: "Hey." 

y/n: "Jesus Christ, Soobin, you scared me!"

soobin: "Sorry."

y/n: "What are you doing here?"

soobin: "I was passing by. I just got out of practice."

y/n: "At this hour?"

soobin: (shrugs) "I stayed a little bit later than everyone else."

y/n: "Didn't practice end an hour ago?"

soobin: (nods)

y/n: "Soobin. Don't overwork yourself. You already play like a pro." 

soobin: "I guess."

y/n: "You guess but I know." 

soobin: "Always quick with a comeback, huh?"

y/n: "Yes." 

soobin: (sighs) "I've just been really in my head lately, and not in a good way. I feel like I don't belong on the team."

y/n: "But you do. You have every right to be on the team. And look at all the work you're putting in. Beomgyu told Kai that you helped him sharpen his hook shots."

soobin: "He did?"

y/n: "Mhm. He really appreciates it. You're making a difference, Soobin. They want you on the team as much as you want it."

soobin: "It's not them I'm worried about..."

y/n: "What do you mean?" 

soobin: "Nothing... I'm just really overwhelmed. What if I screw everything up?"

y/n: "How?"

soobin: (silence)

y/n: "You're not still thinking about that video, are you? You're not that type of person, Soobin. You said so yourself."

soobin: "I know that. But does everyone else?"

y/n: "Don't mind what everyone else thinks. They don't know you. You know you, and that's what's really important." 

soobin: "It's so much easier said than done."

y/n: "I know...  If there was any way that I could clear your fears, I would. But people just suck and people will always talk shit. Just don't let yourself give in to it." 

soobin: "I'm trying."

y/n: "We should come up with a mantra."

soobin: "A mantra?" 

y/n: "Something for you to tell yourself when you're upset."

soobin: "Like what?"

y/n: "Like... people suck."

soobin: (laughs) "People suck? Really?"

y/n: "Why not? They really do, sometimes. Plus it's short and simple. Come on. People suck."
