The Gauntlet - Babowa Cheonsa
Ch. 2 - Settling in
Angel
Watching 300 trainees is exhausting. It took us all day, wow. With everything done, we were taken to a large facility. Must be the dorms.
Angel
That's a big building.
LD
.....
Big Zeke
Alrighty, children. You'll be living together according to your affiliated agencies or schools. Team UST, you know what to do.
Big Zeke
Dumandan, Shin, Talavera, Andaya - you kids performed individually so you'll all be in one room.
LD
Huh?
Angel
Uwaaah! Oppa, we're roommates!
LD
.....
Michael
Cheer up, p're. Maybe we'll do something to boost our reputation.
Rico
Yeah, bro. Don't be down.
LD
Thanks, guys.... I just feel bad being the guinea pig of all this.
Angel
I think you will be better. Just keep fighting!
LD
.....
Angel
I meant "keep going". Don't literally fight someone, oppa.
LD
Yeah, I got you there....
Angel
Oppa seemed really down. He got really shellshocked because he went first out of everyone. Worst of all, he got laughed at.
Angel
It's midnight, just a few hours after the auditions wrapped up. We're all supposed to settle at the dorms, but...
Angel
Michael? Rico? Where are you going?
Rico
We're leaving. We have to enroll soon. I don't want to waste this opportunity, but we have to study first.
Michael
I'm also minding my studies, too. As much as I want to stay, this contest isn't known to anyone.
Angel
The Salinggawi people also chime in.
This man, not famous. People he has, not famous. This will crash and burn.
Angel
I respect how you feel. I won't stop anyone from leaving.
Angel
So in a matter of minutes, a lot of the contestants left. I'm guessing more than 200 left the building. They basically quit.
Angel
It got all quiet, so I was a bit sad. I couldn't find Oppa either, so I went back to my dorm room and changed my clothes so I can sleep.
Angel
I was all comfy now wearing lighter clothes, and I turned around only to see....
Angel
KYAAAAA! OPPA?!
LD
.....
Angel
Oh my God, you stayed! I'm so happy!
Angel
But...OH MY GOD. YOU SAW ME NAKED!
LD
....
Angel
Aish.... well, at least I have you. We better get some rest now.
Angel
(LD suddenly curls up into a ball)
Angel
Tee-hee... so cute. You're not used to being around girls, huh, oppa? *chu* Good night!
LD
That was a rather eventful night. Michael, Rico, the Salinggawi people and everyone else left. I felt really down and I couldn't sleep.
LD
So I was left with Angel at the dorm and we had a rather... inappropriate encounter. I saw her naked, but it's my fault for being too quiet.
LD
The night passed without any incidents. When I woke up, Angel was still sleeping so I went to the bathroom to clean up for the day.
LD
On my way there, this tall guy was terrorizing everyone and turned his attention to me.
Kang
Wehehey. It's fat midget from class F. Look at mah Class A shirt. It's short for "Acclaimed".
LD
He was holding up a light blue shirt that had a glittery "A" on it. I was wearing a Class F shirt that's orange with black letters.
LD
It was like a prison shirt, so I felt really embarrassed wearing it.
Kang
Your class F shirt? It's short for "f*ck-up", because that's what you are, you little monkey f*cker.
LD
Why don't you shut the f*ck up? I'm not even minding you.
LD
I turned around, then I flopped to the ground all of a sudden. Kang pulled my pants off just like how my brother did in the past at school.
Kang
Yeah-hahah! Loser!
LD
Gimme my pants back!
Kang
Never!
LD
.....
LD
Everyone saw what happened. A lot of them laughed because they saw my tiny dick. I felt ashamed and went back to my room covering my parts.
*Bang!*
Kang
OMG!!
Elina
Give me his pants back, you jerk.
Angel
Oppa? What happened to you?
LD
....
Angel
I went out to see why oppa had no pants. Then I saw him - Kang Dong Gi, a jerk from class A.
Angel
But someone was scolding him. It's Elina unnie from class F.
Elina
Kang, I'm telling you for the last time. Give me Lawrens-ssi's pants back.
Kang
Alright, alright. Geez, you didn't need to kick me on the leg.
Elina
I had to because you're a jerk.
Angel
Hey, what did you do to oppa? Did you hurt him?
Elina
Physically, no. Emotionally and mentally, yeah, he did big time.
Kang
I was just playing.
Elina
That was unprovoked, you douchebag. Stop making excuses.
Kang
Alright, alright, geez louise. This doesn't happen in Korea.
Elina
I'm ashamed Korea's being represented by a douchebag like you, Kang.
Angel
You're really mean, y'know, mr. Kang? You've been up our butts since last night.
Kang
I'm not letting you chicks gang up on me. I'm a man.
Angel
(Kang hurrily leaves, furious that he's being scolded even though he was clearly at fault)
Elina
What a jerk.
Angel
He's really mean. Do you know him, unnie?
Elina
No, I don't. I wouldn't kick him if I did. I just don't like bullies.
Elina
You should get back to Lawrens.
Angel
Yeah....
Oppa. Are you okay?
LD
...First, I'm a guinea pig. Now everyone saw my dick.
Angel
If it makes you feel better, I didn't see your peepee. Don't worry.
Angel
Elina unnie from class F took your pants back. Here.
LD
Thank you, angel.
Angel
*giggle* You love calling me that.
LD
I can't help it. What do you want me to call you, Hyun-ae?
Angel
Just Hyun-ae will do.
LD
Okay....
Shalala lala lala.... Shalala lala lala....
LD
.....
*knock knock knock*
Angel
Coming!
Elli
Oh. Hi, I'm Elli. Do you know what happened last night? The place is almost empty.
Angel
Oh. Everyone left. It's just me and Lawrens oppa in this room.
Elli
Oh my God, you're one of the twins! Where's your brother?!
LD
You mean Clarens? I dunno which room he's at.
Elli
Aww.... He's so cute. I wanna meet him.
LD
.....
LD
Oh yeah, before I forget. I have a twin brother named Clarens. I refer to him as CD at times.
EHHHHH?!?!?!?!?!
Boss Eddie
Wow, we have twins in the house!
Mike
Noise....
LD
I thought you told ma and pa you'll stay?
CD
That was something else. I was scouted by Mike just a month ago. You got the invite two months ago.
LD
How's ma and pa?
CD
They'll be fine. Two less mouths to feed so it's give and take.
LD
......
ALL TRAINEES, PLEASE EXIT THE BARRACKS AND PROCEED TO THE AUDITORIUM IMMEDIATELY. THANK YOU.
LD
Here we go.
CD
I wonder what's up this time....
Elina
Let's do our best even if we're at the bottom.
Angel
Fighting!
