Fame or Fortune - Choi Beomgyu

October 2024

"So I know it was awhile ago, but how'd you and Beomgyu's first date go?" Jia ask, wanting to spark Youngie's interest as it seemed the girl couldn't remove her eyes from her phone screen.

"It was nice." She responds through a small smile, not looking away from whatever she was furiously typing.

"Well you guys might not be the only Galaxy and TXT couple... " Jia mumbles, finally gaining Youngie's attention, the younger girl staring in shock.

"You're going out with Soobin?"

"Well nothing is official yet but we did 'hang out' if you know what I mean."

"You guys went out on a date?"

"No we just 'hung out'. Like at his dorm."

Youngie began to piece together what her friend was saying, but she didn't like it too much.

"If I do know what you mean, that's... great and all, but I thought you liked Soobin."

"I do."

"Then why aren't you guys official."

"I'm sure it will become a relationship... eventually." Jia just shrugs. "I mean he's good looking and famous, this is probably how he lives. I've got to peak his interest y'know?"

Youngie grew a sour look on her face. Maybe not well, but she knew Soobin and he didn't seem like a noncommittal type of guy. And if Jia's only excuse is that he's famous and good looking, what could that mean for her boyfriend.

These thoughts swarmed her mind for the rest of the day. Beomgyu's name once again illuminates the darkness of her room. He'd called her for their nightly FaceTime, something they started doing as friends but later turned into a promise for the couple, but Jia's words still made her sick. She knew it was immature but she felt mad towards her boyfriend and ignored his countless calls.
