The guy in green looks so nervous, K should do something to calm him down!

- All the tall trainees are sitting here. 

There are thousand ways to comfort someone, and K seems to choose the worst. But Nicholas quickly comes to Hung's defense. 

- I was dumped several times because of my height. 

- Why?

- Oh, you know, it takes a toll to talk to tall people. Looking up to talk to us makes their face exposed to the Sun. And you know, girls here aren't so fond of getting tanned. See, being tall isn't always a privilege.

Haha, that makes sense. But why is he so protective of Hanbin? And, do they really need to hold hands that much? 

The battle starts, and Hung's anxiety doesn't fade even a little. Hung's ultimate goal is to find K, but the one sitting across is just a total stranger. Hung thought it was just someone looking alike, but then how to explain his stage name of K, which Hung gave him 350 years ago? Hung believes that part of the memories is still in K's subconscious mind, and Hung will need to wake it up somehow. 

And, Hung is here today for the Jopping team too. Hung cannot bring them down just because of his own problems. 

- Should we perform first? 

The first and last performers always have the edge. But today, in this room, there are those who are older, and those who have been training for 5 years, being the first might be a bit disrespectful. Let's just wait and see! 

And Seon steps up. With 22/22 votes, he of course goes to Iland! 

Everyone realizes that the sooner they are on the stage, the more chances they can stand. Niki and Nicholas quickly register for the second spot, so Hung forces himself into being ready.

When being there, Hung takes a look at the audience. Before meeting K, Hung had always dreamt of having a concert. But K is the reason he decides to make that dream come true. And now, he's got a taste of that, when his whole world is looking up, waiting for his performance. Please cheer me up, K! 

But that world quickly collapses when the official host calls his name "Hanbin, Iland, Out".

K doesn't vote for Hung.

K, you really forgot who spent hours helping you dance? And even today, I left no impression on you, at all? Seriously, is there any chance left for us?

K feels uncomfortable looking at Hanbin. This Vietnamese guy is really good looking, he's cute, he raps well, but somehow, he doesn't look so confident. And confidence is what matters the most in a survival show. Either you believe in yourself, or you will quickly get intimidated by everyone else.  

K stands up, registering for the next slot. He cannot stand sitting next to the sad Hanbin. He feels guilty as if he had done something wrong. And there is no place for such a feeling in this competition. 

"I appear like wind I disappear like smoke tricking your eyes

I approach like a petal I burrow like a thorn aiming at your heart"

Hung knows these words aren't for him, but somehow it brings tears to his eyes. Nicholas gives Hung a hug, a tight one: 

- Hanbin, please don't be sad. 

- How can I not? You and Niki, and now K, will go to Iland and I'm left here alone. 

- Do you really think I've been training all those years just to get there? No, you won't be alone, I promise! 

It's so sweet to have you here with me, Nicholas. Hung wipes out his tears with Nicholas' sleeve, quickly forms a smile on his face before K comes back to his seat.  

K can't smile though. His performance isn't as flawless as he expected. As a perfectionist, he of course cannot forgive himself for such mistakes. Nicholas pats his shoulder lightly while the green guy gives him the biggest, shiniest smile he's seen. How can he show his disappointment in front of someone who is voted out and still able to comfort others? K then sits up straight, trying to calm himself.

The last performance is over. 16 trainees will go to Iland while 7 are told to leave. Hung gives Nicholas and Niki a hug, wishing them both all the best. Too much for a day, Hung doesn't know what to think, what to do, and where to go. Disappointment, hopelessness, and pride. Yes, Hung takes the credit for both K and Nicholas' passion for dancing. Wow, they both do so well, and Hung's extremely happy for them.

Hung and 6 other eliminated trainees get out of the building. Whatever the result is, they have done their best. But the road leads them to another gate.

Just like Hung's been given another chance to open K's heart...
