CHANGBIN X KALA (BINLA)

Seo Changbin & Ryu Kala (BinLa): her hyungnim and his lil sis

「 ✦ HOW THEY MET ✦ 」

ಇ. Changbin knew Kala's name through Chan's stories, but they just met when Chan introduced her to the members for the first time

ಇ. Not gonna lie, Changbin kinda intimidated her at first because this guy was famous among the trainees. He had a lot of cool friends while she was an anxiously social person

ಇ. The way Changbin approached her also wasn't the best way to make her less tense

ಇ. He had this vibe of that popular guy in your high school; he's cool, he had many friends, and seemed untouchable

ಇ. Even after Changbin said she could talk casually to him, Kala still felt hesitant to start a conversation

ಇ. Until Changbin had enough of this awkwardness and one night decided to treat Kala to dinner just the two of them

ಇ. It wasn't a fancy dinner or something. In fact, he just took her to the convenience store near the company and had ramyeons

ಇ. It wasn't much, but it was a crucial turn point for their relationship

ಇ. The next day, these two had the other members gaping when they saw them both come together to the company while laughing so hard over some meme that Kala showed Changbin

ಇ. They found out that their school was really close to each other on that convenience store dinner night, which was why they could come together to JYPE the day after

ಇ. They continue to come as two the next day too, and the next day, and the next next days. It was like their unwritten agreement

ಇ. As soon as Changbin finished his classes, he walked to Kala's school a few meters away and waited for her to come out

ಇ. On their way to the company, they'd talk a lot about literally everything, from some random why pizza has pineapples for its topping talk, to deep do you think there's another earth out there talk

ಇ. Changbin even had his rap class for Kala on their walking-together-to-the-company time

ಇ. It became their daily routine until Changbin graduated *im genuinely sad thinking about this:(

ಇ. However if he had the time, Changbin initiatively would pick up Kala from school, simply because he missed having those random talks with her

「 ✦ FACTS ABOUT THEM ✦ 」

ಇ. The most important thing to remember from this duo is Kala doesn't call Changbin 'oppa' as she does to the rest of the members, she calls him 'hyungnim'
ಇ. You know that Korean gangster movie where they call their boss 'hyungnim'? That's exactly how Kala sees Changbin
ಇ. And Changbin lowkey likes that nickname
ಇ. He'll sulk if Kala accidentally calls the other members or other older males that nickname of him
ಇ. It makes him want to register a copyright to it so he's the only one Kalla can call 'hyungnim'

ಇ. Changbin is a tough man with principles, but he lets his guard down around Kala and turns into a soft baby powder
ಇ. He can't help but easily obey what she tells him, even if it's contrary to the principles he upholds so high
ಇ. Because he once didn't listen to what Kala said and let's just say it didn't end well for him
ಇ. It's like a curse when you disobey your mother
ಇ. But he only listens to Kala though and trusts her instinct as it often turns out right #infjthings

ಇ. Changbin introduces Kala to a lot of his friends to get her used to social interaction because it's an important thing in this industry
ಇ. That is how Kala slowly feels less and less anxious about meeting new people
ಇ. Changbin never forces her to be a social butterfly who has friends everywhere, he just wants her to be more confident so people won't look down on her

ಇ. This man loves Kala's cooking so much he's a big fan
ಇ. He often asks Kala to cook for him, and Minho will scold him for troubling her
ಇ. But Kala never felt troubled to cook for them, she's rather happy if the boys like the foods she makes
ಇ. In return, Changbin would offer to buy the ingredients and wash the dishes later on
ಇ. Most of the time, they'll end up going together because Changbin always gets the ingredients wrong
ಇ. When the boys met Kala's grandma for the first time, Changbin knew immediately where Kala's cooking skills came from
ಇ. He felt like he didn't want to go back to Seoul after her grandma spoiled them with her tasty homely cooking
ಇ. So Changbin was very excited when he knew Kala would live in the same dorm as him (the current dorm)

ಇ. Every time Changbin wants to go to the gym, he will ask Kala if he wants to go with him
ಇ. But being a lazy ass and frequently lacking motivation to exercise, Kala always declines
ಇ. It took a lot of effort to force her to go, so he gave up a long time ago
ಇ. Unless he has a bribe that is tempting enough to make her choose the gym with him over playing League of Legends with Felix

ಇ. These two protect each other no matter what
ಇ. Changbin will seriously fight anyone who hurts Kala, and Kala will let out her inner beast when someone insults Changbin
ಇ. She once got into a heated argument with one of the back dancers who threw an inappropriate comment at Changbin. If only Chan and Seungmin didn't pull her back, they would seriously continue to fight physically
ಇ. And Changbin had gone to the length where he beat up a sasaeng fan who tried to assault Kala. That sasaeng fan swore he almost saw the afterlife when the police interrogated him
