The next day, Minkyu and Kim go for a walk. Minkyu asks Kim to join them for a smoke, but Kim refuses, saying that he's not joining them. They talk about Minkyu's "newness" , and Kim points out that he looks just as good on the day of the interview as he did the day before. He says that Minkyu has a "very strong taste" in certain areas, which makes him different from other people. He also says that he has a good personality, which is similar to Kim's. Kim asks if Minkyu looks a bit frightened, and he says that's because he made a joke about it on his first day. Kim says that there's still time for Minkyu to pass the exam, but he'll have to wait another week.
