The Silent Boarding Gate II Junhui

第二章 chapter two

As the other guys began digging into the pile of objects, collecting their own belongings, Hana sparked a curiosity. "So where do you guys train?"

"Oh, we usually practice in the company building's practice rooms. Should I show you?" Mingyu pleaded with his hands, wanting to escape from cleaning the pigsty room. "No, Mingyu, half of these things are your stuff! Jun should take her there instead." S.Coups insisted. "Do I have to?" Jun groaned. "I'll go by myself then, where is it?" Hana said.

The other guys gave Jun a look, hinting something. "Fine, I'll take you there. I doubt you can make it there yourself." Jun sighed and they walked out the dorm, back down the stairs, turned at a few different blocks and arrived at the company again. "This is the dance room." He said as he opened the doors. Inside, there are also a few other guys practicing. "Oh? Jun, who's this?" one of the guys asked. She introduced herself for the 284017th time and got to know each of the guys inside. Soonyoung (Hoshi), Wonwoo, Seokmin (DK), Minghao, Seungkwan, and Vernon.

"So you're gonna be living with us from now on?" Vernon asked. "Yep, sorry for the inconvenience." Hana apologized. "No, we're sorry for the inconvenience. It'll be quite the experience living with 13 other guys.." Seungkwan said. "This is crazy though, you got accepted with only one audition.." Hoshi said in disbelief. "Do you even know how to dance?" Minghao asked. "I mean, I used to attend the same dance academy with Jun so I'm at least not bad at dancing." Hana replied, "Play some music, I'll freestyle."

Basically, Hana showed her skill to the boys who were more than impressed.

"Whoah, you're amazing." Dk complimented. "Not bad, but not better than me." Jun said, raising his eyebrows at Hana. "Yeah, right." Soon, their conversation was interrupted by the sound of the phone ringing. "Hello?" Dk spoke to the phone, "Oh, ok. I'll tell them to go back n ow." He then hung up the phone. "What is it?" Seungkwan asked. "Seungcheol wants us to go back and clean up the storage room." Dk answered. "I should go back too, I also have things to clean up." Jun left the practice room along with the other guys but one stayed behind. "You're not gonna go?" I asked him. "No, I don't have anything to clean up so I'll stay and practice a bit more." Wonwoo said.

Hana stayed as well and watched him practice with his whole body swaying around. "You're quite passionate, aren't you?" she asked. "Not really.. I just want to work harder." Wonwoo said. "Yeah, that's what passionate means. It's nice to be passionate." She assured. "What about you? There must be more behind the reason you actually auditioned." Wonwoo said as he sat down on the floor next to her.

She thought for a minute before answering his question. "Hmm, nope. The only reason is because I needed a place to stay." Those words made Wonwoo crack up. She also joined him laughing. "You're not actually as shy as what I heard from the others." She remarked. "Really? What did they say?" He questioned. "Oh, nothing. They just said you're really shy and I probably wouldn't even be able to start a conversation with you. I guess they were wrong." She gestured her shoulders.

"Well.. should we go back now?" She asked. "Yeah, let's go." They walked the same route she took earlier then up the stairs. As soon as they opened the door there was chaos. The boys were moving their things around the dorm, it honestly looked like a landfill, filled with piles of trash. "Ew, what the actual hell is this place?" she couldn't help but blurt out.

"What do you mean?" Hoshi asked. "Yeah, it's not that bad..." Dk was lying to himself. "You guys really need a proper clean-out of this place." Hana said. "Are you gonna help us?" Jun asked. "Ehhhhh?" she responded. "I'll cook you guys some food while you clean up." The other boys gladly accepted the offer. She got to cooking while the others focused on cleaning. A few hours later, the food was finally all finished, it certainly isn't easy to cook for fourteen people.

Hana made her signature dish, meat fried rice. The dish itself looked simple but it was inarguably delicious. "How is it?" she asked. "It's amazing." Dk said with his mouth stuffed with rice. They devoured everything without even a single rice leftover. After dinner, the others got back to doing their own thing leaving Jun and Hana alone.

"So does this building only have five floors?" she asked. "No, there's six floors total. The sixth floor is the rooftop." Her eyes sparked. "Wanna go there?" He asked but he didn't need an answer because he instantly understood. They got up and he led her upstairs and opened the doors presenting the rooftop along with a roof terrace. It was already dark, but they could still see glimmers of light from other buildings.

Hana walked over to the rooftop fence and wondered at the view. Jun also followed and stood next to her but his eyes weren't focused on the view. His eyes were glued to Hana. To her glimmering expression. The soft wind breezed through them and Hana turned around to see Jun already gazing at her and their eyes met. They stared into each other for what felt like forever until Jun finally turned away, blushing.

He cleared his throat, "Anyways, this is a pretty nice view right?" Hana only nodded in response. It was new for him to see her this quiet. "Oh, and-" Before he could finish his sentence, he climbed over on top of the roof and gave his hand to help her get on as well. She managed to climb onto the roof as well. "I didn't know you could climb on here as well~" she said.

"Yeah, I only discovered it not long ago too." He said as he laid down with his hands below his head. She also did the same. "Holy crap, you can see the stars here?!" Hana exclaimed. "Yeah, it's hard to find a place where you can watch the stars in the middle of the city. So this place is my secret hideout." He then proceeded to point out the star constellations to show Hana. The stars were unbelievably captivating.

Both of them turned towards each other. "It's only my first day in Korea and I already did so much today." Hana boasted. "You're gonna be even busier later on, with training and other things." Jun commented. "At least I already finished high school." Hana said. "Are you gonna go to college then?" Jun asked.

"Since I'm already a trainee now, I'll focus on training and debuting!" she grinned. "Wait, you were serious about that?"

"Yeah, of course I am! I'll also work hard to become an idol!"

"I didn't know you were serious.. Well, goodluck, I guess."

"What do you mean 'I guess'" she pouted, "You should fully support me!"

"Yeah, yeah. I'll see you on stage one day. Deal?"

"Deal."

Question: when you eat passion fruits, do you swallow the seeds or do you chew them first?
