The Fool & The Dancing Bear

Description

When 18 year old Bobby Kim agrees to fly to New York City to audition for some Korean rap show his best friend is obsessed with, he doesn't expect much. But soon he finds himself on a plane flying to Seoul for the summer, diving head first into a Korean society he's become somewhat of a stranger to. The last thing he expects to do is befriend an idol by the name of Kim Hanbin, better known as B.I, one of his competitors who's got struggles he's trying to hide from everyone. SMTM3 AU!!

Foreword

This story is a multi-chaptered work that will be posted on a weekly basis (or maybe faster, depends on my mood;). The first chapter will be posted on Monday, September 10!

♥♥Celebrating Day Two of Double B Week!!♥♥

Keywords: Trainee Days + Patience & Hot Headedness + Unexpected Events + Puppy Love

Notes: As mentioned this is an AU about SMTM season 3. Bobby is NOT a YG trainee and never moved back to Korea. Instead there is an OC (named Seungjae) who has replaced him in Team B during WIN & M&M. Everyone else is the same. I've followed SMTM3 to an extent (with obvious differences, being that they did not have US auditions in that season, but I'm using them in this story) and some of the rounds/results will be different.

The rest of iKON will appear, along with some other noteable figures from SMTM (mostly Olltii, Toy, and the producers). M&M is being filmed while SMTM3 is going on.

(Full description since AFF forced me to cut it...)

But soon Bobby figures out that the one thing Hanbin needs more than anything is a real friend, someone who doesn't know anything about him, a clean slate who likes him for more than his bourgeoning celebrity status. Maybe, if Bobby's lucky, it might even turn into something more. (SMTM Season 3 AU!!)"

Chapter 15: Yay we're not yet done with this universe!!

When Seungjae was talking about the girl he met, I was thinking on whether Hanbin will confess or not. I'm so relieved that he decided to come clean and get the closure he's waited years for.

I just love all the dialogue here. This reminded me of my younger self and the 'mistakes' I made which can be blamed on immaturity so I'm glad to see how everyone has grown after 5 years. Lastly, Bobby is such boyfriend material.♡
How he encouraged Hanbin to reach out to Seungjae just shows how secure he is in their relationship. But then again, I wouldn't mind seeing a jealous Bobby in the next epilogue! :))

And suddenly, i feel worried for bobby. hanbin said he hasnt stopped thinking about seungjae even after everything that has happened. And now seungjae is back in his life again.. im scared for bobby i dont want him to get hurt >.<

This story gave me nostalgic feels, I actually listened to some SMTM3 songs while reading the last 2 chapters (Bounce!). Thank you for including Robbie in the ending; I was kinda sad when he wasn't there for the SMTM finale. As I was reading the first few paragraphs, I kept on thinking how it would be like for him and Hanbin to meet so it was a pleasant surprise for it to actually happen. Overall, it was a satisfying finale with no loose ends. :)

Chapter 12: Omg they are all on the same page! I hope Bobby does join and I can't wait to see their reactions if it happens. I just wonder now what it could mean for doubleB relationship since they will be in the group together...it could make things messy. Anyhow, looking forward to see how it all unfolds.
