LET'S SAY

CHAPTER-3

Early morning, two people ate listlessly, as they were sitting across each other they could see clear dark circles under each other's eyes. Of course, both couldn't sleep well.

"You said, you'll go to your agency today, right?" First asked Khaotung.

"Mm"

"When will you go?"

"At around late noon."

"Should I drive you there?"

"You don't have to, I'll be quick," Khaotung said as he chuckled lightly, trying to assure First.

Later that day, First stared at Khaotung and Khaotung stared at him back, with a small smile on his lips, he took First's hands in his hold and said softly, "I really won't regret any of this. We've got this, okay?"

"Mm" First nodded, suddenly hugging him tightly.

Khaotung was caught off-guard but then embraced him back with as much eagerness as him.

They just stood like that, in front of the door for some time.

As they slowly let go of each other, Khaotung smiled at him sincerely before leaving there, and out of the door.

Before he knew it, some months had gone by. At first, he almost thought as if he had forgotten all his basics but now he was slowly getting the feel of it, First despite the immense pressure and competition, he was getting positive as he practiced diligently.

His months of hard work were finally slowly showing. Countless self-doubt and inner battle, he went through hell fighting his thoughts so when he himself had started to see the improvements he was getting even more passionate.  

As usual, First and some other trainees were lounging around the practice room as a practice session had ended when he was called in by one of the company's producer, it was already five months since he entered the company and it was the first time that he was called in personally by one of the major producer.

He had gone in with fear, but still with some soul but when leaving the room, he looked as if his soul had already left the body.

Seeing him return like that, other trainees gathered around him halting what they were doing, curiously asking about the situation.

"I am going to participate in a Survival Show?" First said slowly.

"Huh?" his Korean with some accent went above their head, and everyone turned to each other with confusion.

"What is he saying?"

"Did he mean he is going to participate in that survival show with Hyungsoo hyung ?" one of the trainees translated his words perfectly, maybe it wasn't that bad but not everyone could understand First's not-so-clear accent, so First nodded thankfully at Jinhyo also confirming his words.

 But Hyungsoo soon dispersed the crowd, telling them to continue practicing, as he approached First who had mixed emotions dancing in his face.

"What? You are not happy?"

"Huh? Ohh no that's not hyung. I don't know what to feel about it."

"Why?"

"I've got no idea about something like this."

"You'll know soon, keep up with the practice for now. They will inform us of details of the show."

"Ohh they will? When?"

"Soon..."

"Okay, hyung" First smiled at him getting his obliviousness too, and went into a corner to practice his vocabulary, utilizing even the breaktime.
