wonderland is an illusion

Chapter 3

After the fitting, they had their lunch and tour around the training facility to familiarize themselves. Mingi held a 'private' tour for his friends only, since the upperclassmen didn't really show them the PS stations, which had multiple fighter jet hangars, three tank garage and their weapon collections so his friends could have an idea where they really want to go. Yunho and Yeosang didn't go, instead, they said they wanted to cook at their dorm's kitchen.

"San and Hongjoong-hyung wants to apply to PS, right?" He asked them when they were going to the hangars on their free time after the tour had ended.

"Yeah," They both anwered in unison.

"There are four divisons if you apply to PS. There's going to be public security—which functions like some sort of police, then air force, ground force and navy. There will be no divisions in Admin, and if you go to Med-Sci, you will pick between Medicine or Science in the diagnostic test tomorrow like Seonghwa-hyung said earlier."

"Ah really? I'm interested in the air force, being a fighter jet pilot sounds dangerous and fun."

"Oh, me too! Even though I contemplated earlier, I made my decision!" San excitedly said.

"I was planning on the same thing though, well, I guess we three could be a small squadron."

"Now there's the jets I mentioned earlier." He pointed from behind the metal fence, with a sign that says: "Authorised personnel only."

"We can't come in today, but once the training starts, the flight simulators should be inside that building over there." Mingi then shifted his hand to a short building, to which the other two nodded.

"How'd you know all this though?" San asked.

"You remembered when I said my dad used to work here as a 1st class General? He used to be the Air Force general, Song Joong-ki. I trained to fly jets at the simulators since 14, so I could already give you both some mentoring. Y'know, dad used to take away my phone whenever I fail to fly,"

"Ow, that's harsh." San replied, since he knew how it felt like to be restrained from your phone. Hongjoong could only smile fondly to the both of them, San's wall of prejudice had seemed to fall down rapidly after this particular encounter.

"Hey, it's three already. We should really be back before four so the food won't get cold and miss the presentation."

"First one to get to the lift gets most of the food!" Mingi shouted while he already ran, which made both laugh and race alongside the lanky boy.

"My god, why are you guys sweating and panting?" Yunho looked at them confusedly.

"We raced back. The one who first got to the lift will get most food." Mingi replied to him once he's seated on the dining table. The kitchen is placed beside the lift, it is an alternative for students who don't want to spend their money on canteen food.

"Good thing we finished just in time, we made tteokbokki for all of us." Yunho showed them the small pot or the red soup and white rice cakes, and it looked so very enticing to be eaten.

"Can I?" Mingi already brought a spoon and chopstick, seemingly so ready to eat. Yunho scooped a lot for him, then to other bowls as well for the others until the pot is clean and placed it in the dishwasher.

They all ate happily, especially Mingi, who had so many emotions while eating the tteok one by one. He relished at how well they are made, and literally asked Yeosang's recipe for this.

"There you are," Seonghwa came to them, still in his all-white uniform glory. "I was knocking on everyone's door, and noticed only five of you were gone. Good thing I checked the kitchen too. Let's go downstairs to the basement, the presentation will start in 30 minutes."
