2 Choi Dae-hyun [2]

When Dae was in kindergarten, he was a really shy kid. Always stuttering while talking with people. He was teased because of his nature a lot. Everyone only stayed with him because he was rich. But he had a real friend though.

Her name was Arin. To me, she was the prettiest girl I've ever seen. It was late of April. Our teacher Ms. Ara introduced us to a new student.

"Kids pay attention here. Today we have a new friend joining us. Come in..."

The moment she walked in I was mesmerized by her beauty. Ok, I know I was only 6 back than, but the heart wants what it wants. Don't judge. So, where was I? Right, I was talking about Arin. Her cute smile, her chubby face, her shoulder-length dark chocolate color hair, her big doll like eyes, her cute little voice, she was perfect. I admit I was in love.

"Do you want to introduce yourself to your new friends?"

"Hello." *bows* "I'm Arin Lee. A-and I can play the piano. Let's be friends."

"Aww!! What a sweet child. So our Arin here can play the piano. We will love to hear you play someday. Right kids?"

"Yes teacher!!!"

"So will you play for us someday?"

"Yes. I'll play a lot of songs for everyone and I'll sing too." *smiles*

"Now how about you go sit with Dae-hyun over there?"

What happened after that was really embarrassing for me. She came and sit next to me. Obviously I couldn't talk with her. Seeing me so quite she asked for my full name. I was so startled and shy that I blushed quite a bit too much.

"Ou my god. Your cheekies are so red. Do you have a fever?"

"No no. It's nothing. I'm Choi Dae-hyun."

"I'm Arin Lee. Let's be friends."

"S-sure."

She was really sweet. That day for the first time I had someone, a friend to have lunch with. Life was good. But then one day I had to move out. Me and my mom went to Seoul and we're still living in Seoul. I never got to say goodbye to her. Childhood love is so weird I guess. I still like her. I'm so pathetic.

So, Now I'm an idol trainee. Living quite a busy life. I have to wake up early in the morning than school and than training till late at night. Sometimes I just have to spend the night at the studio. Sometimes I doze off in class. It's exhausting but I love it. This is what makes me happy.

"Dae get up. School is over." Junwoo says as he wakes me up.

"Oh? Let's get going. I feel like walking to the studio. Ahh....I'm sleepy."

"I told ya, you shouldn't practice overtime."

"But the monthly evaluation is coming up. I wanna impress the judges."

"I know this is important to you but you have to take care of your health." They talk as they make their way to training.

"I know, I know. Now stop nagging me."

"Whatever you weirdo. Your birthday is coming up, and it's on this Sunday. Seems like you're giving us a party?"

"Seems like I have no option cuz it's day off."

Dae-hyun and Jun-woo both are training under the same label to be an idol.

Some days later.........

"Ha-jin, yah! Wake up....come on get up now." Sora wakes her big brother up.

"What now? It's Sunday. Let me sleep.", He yells as he covers himself with the blanket.

"I'm waking you up because it's Sunday. I'm gonna call Junwoo oppa if you don't get up this second."

"What? Why him? And wait did you just used honorifics? You never give me the slightest respect as you older brother."

"Whatever, come on get up it's 20th February."

"Huh? 20th February? Ah....shi-"

"Get up. You have to pick up the cake from the bakery."

"Yeah, must go right now."

"Hey, dumbo? You do remember the plan right?

"Ofc...piggy. I'll be going straight to Jun's place. Make sure to bring the gifts, ok?"

Sora gives an annoyed look to her brother. "Whatever."

Two hours later..............

*Calls Dae-hyun*

"Hey, what's up?"

"Dae? You free now? Can you come hang out? I'm heading to the café across my place."

"Okie. I'll be there in 10 minutes."

*Dae arrives at the café.* Junwoo was already waiting for him in a corner table.

"Jun?"

*Junwoo looks at his direction.* "Hey bud. Come, sit." *He pushes a Chocolate Chip Latte towards Dae-hyun*

"You sure know my likings."

They start to chat. After a while Junwoo desperately searches for something in his pocket.

"What are you looking for?"

"I think I left my phone back at home. I already paid. Let's head out."

"What? Why did you pay?"

"It's your birthday after all. Take it as a gift. Let's go to karaoke after I get my phone."

"So you do remember it's my birthday?" *Makes a poker face*

*Junwoo chuckles*

They head out from the café. And start walking towards Junwoo's apartment.

"Come rest, while I find my phone. I don't clearly remember where I kept it."

"It's ok. I'm fine here."

*Shots Dae-hyun a glare* "You coming or not?"

"Ok ok. I'm coming."

They get on the lift. Upon reaching the doorstep of his house, Junwoo screams like a kid when their parents don't give them candy.

"What the heck bro?"

"Oh, sorry. I thought I saw a bug."

"Since when are you scared of bugs?"

"Ah...nothing"

Junwoo open the door.
