Burn It and Fix It

Chapter 3

"This place is incredible!"

"It better be. Even with a guest pass, parking was such a pain."

"After all this time, I still didn't know you had a car."

"I don't take it that often. Parking at the academy doesn't really make sense since I have a train card. I walk everywhere else."

"We probably could've taken the subway here."

"Oh, most definitely. But you've never been in my car before, and I wanted to take you at least once. Besides...it was a fun twenty minute road trip."

"It was." He opened the door for the older before going to the front desk. "We have an appointment with the headmaster. Song Min Gi and Jeong Yun Ho."

"Our final two! I'll take them, Kim-ssi." The two of them looked up to see another boy around their age standing at the entrance of a long hallway. He gestured for them to follow.

"I hope we didn't keep you waiting," Yun Ho said, bowing slightly.

"No, it's fine. The two of you are just in time since someone decided to show up late." He knocked on a door, opening it before he got an answer. "Hyung, everyone's here now since Hong Joong finally decided to show up."

"Hey! Me and Seong Hwa got here at the same time!"

"Probably because he had to drag your ass away from the studio-"

"Kyung Moon, Hong Joong, remember how we talked about making a good first impression?"

"It's not my fault!"

"He started it!"

The headmaster (at least the two of them assumed he was the headmaster) sighed before looking at Min Gi and Yun Ho. "It's a bit cramped but take a seat." The two of them sat on a small couch, looking at the three other boys who were on the other side of the desk.

The headmaster cleared his throat. "As most of you know, my name is Kim Yong Hwan and I'm the headmaster of KQ University. I take it as all of you are Gifted?" There was a slow hesitant nod as Yong Hwan smiled. "There's no need to be so hesitant. This isn't a trick...right, Hong Joong?"

"Is this Pick on Hong Joong Day?" The brunette (Min Gi thought the mullet looked really cool on him) sighed. "Is there some hierarchy order to introduce ourselves or am I supposed to go?"

"I'm Kim Kyung Moon," the one who had shown them the room said. "I'm a second year, I'm a music production major, though I'm considering a major change, and I guess if you wanna put a name to my Gift...you could call it foresight. Pretty much, I can see the most likely outcome of something, but I can only see so far into the future."

"You didn't tell me that you wanted to change your major."

"I could've sworn I told you the week of finals."

"When I was busy working on my final?"

"To be fair, we were both working on the same final-"

"Boys." The two Kim's looked up at Eden. "The others don't want to hear the two of you talking about this."

"Right, sorry. I'm Hong Joong, Kim Hong Joong. I'm a first year music productions major and I can control water."

"And I'm Park Seong Hwa; also a first year but I'm a business major. I can manipulate metal."

"Can I go next?!"

Yun Ho looked at the shortest ravenette and couldn't help but laugh.

The headmaster did too. "Eager, are we? Good ahead."
