On his way to his uni, Minho grabbed his usual coffee from the cafe near by and sat on a bench under a tree while sipping and enjoying the warm sun that barely touched him.
He took a deep breath and spoke to himself.
'Another day Minho... Put on a happy smile and go through it with shoulders held up high'.

His phone went off with a ding and it was Chan who texted.

Chan
Reminder: Meet Mr. Min.

'An alliteration', he thought and laughed to himself.

Minho
Sure... Thanks for the reminder :)

He feels so glad to have Chan in his life at these times. And just like another uni days, he faked another smile, took another step and began another day.

Minho knocked the door of professor Min's office and slightly waited before being called in.

"Good morning, sir.", he greeted with a warm smile.

"Good morning.... Good morning, please take a seat", the professor gestured him to sit while spoke to the person on the phone.

He was a little confused as to why he was called there, but none the less, he sat across his professor and waited patiently.

After a while, the phone was on the table and he started speaking, "Ah Minho, glad that Chan delivered the message. I wanted to let you know that your resume is nearly perfect. The grades and everything is fine, but my concern is that you've hardly participated in any of the events or activities. Even some workshops and internships could affect your job opportunities and have a great impact. "

Though his mood changed a little, he went back putting up that cheerful attitude.
"Oh, okay. Thank you for your insights but it's the last year, there's hardly any vacancy and the exams are-"
"Don't worry Minho," he cut him off, "there's a post you could apply for but that's what I was thinking before the call that I received. But if you can, maybe, talk it out with your junior, maybe he'll leave that spot understanding your situation, after all he's just in his freshman year."

"So, you're meaning to say that I need negotiate with him? "

"Yeah, and it's for the dance club, would that be okay? They were looking for someone who could give directions from the backstage. I understand you may not be interested and it may take a lot of your time but there's hardly any option."

Minho looked down at his fingers. Was studying not enough? Another burden and human interaction? Not that he hated it, he spoke and joked around every second he was out of his flat but sometimes he needed a break and all these years he ran away from these events cause it requires him to stay out for longer and pretend. Pretend to be a jovial guy who goes around flirting, partying, joking around and well, he was known for good marks, so there's that, studying.

With another tight smile he spoke, "okay sir, I'll take this option, I'll try my best to speak with him and see if he's willing to give it up for me. "

Mr. Min was happy to hear that. After all it was Minho who's trying to participate. "Kim Seungmin."

"Huh? "

"He's the one you need to talk to. "
