$215 HU SnG Tournament - trapped flop with KK and favourable run out but should fold?

The problem I have with my call on the river is that i think KK with a diamond is the worst hand i have that makes it to the river and so im not sure whether i should be calling with it. I will be able to call with some 45s, 64s, maybe 34s and 74s which trap flop as well as 10 10 and maybe occasionally a 99 if played that way although unlikely. i will also have AA with a diamond and flushes like AJ AQ or AK which check flop. These seem like enough combos to be calling to me probably but KK seems too strong to fold especially when i check flop to keep range strong/ trap but then i think im calling 100% of my range on river. What do you guys think?

It's not a theoretical fold at all, and you really shouldn't trap the flop much.
The only hands that wants to check are 55-99 (especially 99). You should cbet pretty wide here in general and rarely check.

Why would 99 be such a clear check?
