"Who is your best pick?" Guanlin with no hesitation took Jihoon's circled photo. "Why Park Jihoon?" Following up the question. "Jihoon hyung is handsome and kind. He's good at singing and dancing. He takes care of his dongsaeng very well. He knows how to rap too." He wanted to say more but he was worried his Jihoon hyung might found it creepy. But nontheless, when he was asked to do Jihoon's infamous wink. He proudly gave it a try. It is just that all the things that Jihoon does appealed well to him.

Eversince he started to be friends with Jihoon, he always go to him during the practice breaks, rehersals and in the dressing room. The heaven did not allow them to team up together. It was either they were belong to a rival team or they were in different category. Still, it wasn't really much of a problem. 

When Jihoon was ranked 3rd during the second elimination, Guanlin was really shocked "ahh hyung hyung!" He called out for his hyung but Jihoon was already making his way to the stage. It was the first time for Jihoon to be dethroned to his #1 spot. People can say he was greedy but receiving the #1 spot got him this sense of responsibility to work harder in order to protect his place. Placing his forearms on the arm chair, Jihoon relaxed on his seat as he waited for the next announcement. The rankings ended up with Guanlin in the 2nd place. He made his way up to his seat looking at Jihoon with a wide smile. As he took his seat, he immediately turned his head to speak with Jihoon who was sitting on his left side. "Congratulations Guanlin-ah~" he smiled proudly while looking at Jihoon. "Ah, thanks hyung.." he smiled shyly. "So how do you feel hyung?" He asked back. Jihoon purses his lips and smiled at him "I'm good, nothing to worry about." Guanlin just nod with his reply. After the recording, it was time to say goodbye for the eliminated trainees but before they went down. Guanlin went straight to give Jihoon a comforting hug. "I know you will do great next time hyung, I am here to support you." Rubbing the back of Jihoon. Meanwhile, Jihoon found Guanlin's hug really warm and comforting. Like, he wish they could stay like that for the meantime but they have to pull back. He placed his hand around Guanlin's shoulder and patted his back.."Thank you Guanlinee~ I feel so much better."
