Jun takes his food and goes back to the living room to watch some TV. Skipping through the channels, he can't seem to find anything interesting. Finally, he settles with some kind of finale of some dance show.
He is more invested in his Ramen, which is not very surprising, considering he never saw the other parts of the competition. He still looks up sometimes, only to be impressed at how easy they make those hard dance moves look. And he should know as he also loves to dance. Sadly though, he knows he is not good enough to be participating in any competition. That is not what he would want. It is only a hobby for him even though he sometimes wishes he would have more time to dance. He has a lot of free time but most of the time, he is way too tired from work to gain the strength to go change and go over to the gym after working a lot of hours.
After he finished his meal, he gets up to clean up the kitchen. He looks at the clock and decides that it would be time to go sleep soon. Maybe, he can go to the gym tomorrow and finally dance after it has been weeks.
He turns off the lights in the kitchen and walks over to the bathroom to get ready for bed and finally lays on his bed. It does not take long until he is fast asleep after a long work day like today.

He gets woken up the next day by the sun shining through his curtains that are only halfway closed. He slowly opens his still sleepy eyes and sits up after a moment.

Afterwards, he rushes to the kitchen and quickly grabs an apple. Being this excited, he does not even wonder where the healthy snack  suddenly came from out of the blue. He grabs his keys, phone and jacket and goes outside.

»One day! One day that I decide to go outside and then this!«, he thinks as he encounters a big crowd with no way around it. He tried to fight his way through all these people but as he gets closer, he sees the person that everyone seems to be so excited about. He tries to look at the other person's face for just a second but the crowd keeps pushing him, not even allowing him a split of a second of peace to figure out who they are. Trying to find an answer in the crowd's shouting is also not an option as they all want to be heard at the same time.

»Now, how do I get out of this again?«

He tries walking the opposite direction, against all the people but they are way stronger and also do not want to make space for anyone or anything holding them back for breathing the air of this apparent celebrity. On the other hand, Junhui also does not want to give in and keeps pushing.
But suddenly, he falls...
