00: Busan Man

김석진

Namjoon. How have you been?

김남준

Oh, yes, brother. How have you been?

김석진

Well... these days, I'm a bit busy preparing for a business.

김남준

Business? What kind of business do you do?

김석진

I'm planning to open a club in Busan.

'Shoot-'

Somewhere in the middle of Haeundae, Busan, it was so cold that the back of Seokjin's hand turned red as he held his phone.

A flat horizon is drawn in Seokjin's eyes, which are filled with anticipation.

김남준

Oh, the club is nice. But why Busan?

김석진

Um... just.

김남준

.. yes?

김석진

It's been a while since I've been here - I don't want to go back.

김남준

...Are you serious?

김석진

huh.

김남준

Then why did you contact me?

김석진

Oh, right. It seems like you don't have anything to do these days. How about working with me?

김남준

......

As if a sudden communication error had occurred during the phone conversation, both Seokjin, who was looking at the horizon, and Namjoon, who had answered the phone, remained silent, and silence continued.

'Shoooooooooo-'

Along with the sound of the waves calming down, Namjoon's ambiguous sigh came through Seokjin's phone.

김석진

Why are you sighing like that?

김남준

...So, you're going to have a club. When did you decide to do that?

김석진

just now.

김남준

room...

김석진

Hey, Namjoon. I understand what you're worried about, Namjoon.

김석진

You don't have to worry about that.

김석진

I'll take care of everything, so you come and do what you used to love and make money.

김남준

"I wondered if I could really believe you because you said that. But, as expected, the rich are rich, brother. In the blink of an eye, the door was closed next week."

김석진

Clubs don't just happen on their own. They started out with a big deal, but then they were worried the kids wouldn't be able to handle it, so they just handled it in a way that seemed okay.

김남준

Hey- what can't they handle?

김석진

Namjoon. Here, there's a handsome MD like me, and if he's doing well and getting popular, then from then on, wow. You know what I mean, right?

김남준

..but why isn't Jungkook coming?

김석진

Kim Namjoon, you're ignoring me again.

김남준

Someone please call me. It's our first company dinner, and I'm going to be late.

김태형

I'll give you a call.

김남준

Oh, yeah.

Seokjin's sudden phone call. Seokjin's even more sudden business plan. The even more sudden content of the call.

This sudden plan, which I had decided to make with the sound of the waves at Haeundae, was almost completed in the blink of an eye.

Seokjin and Namjoon, who have been promoting the club on various social media platforms and gathering a few more acquaintances to set up the club with, are now a week away from the opening day and are shuffling chopsticks with the people they will be working with.
