Dreams Alike (Daejae Fanfiction)

Chapter 10

(A/N: Thank you people for reading, this chapter glitched and unpublished by itself, so I republished it.)

Ever since Youngjae joined the boy group lineup, Mr Kim had personally requested that the boys in the lineup would have their meals together to promote bonding. So right now at this very moment, Youngjae was seated with his group together, having lunch at the canteen. It was his second time eating lunch with the others, and he still felt quite nervous. It was literally weird, unnatural forced interaction. Luckily Himchan was the chatty one, who made the atmosphere less tense with his engaging topics.

" I think I saw the person who walked out of the private audition room when I went to find manager hyung. " Himchan spoke excitedly. He was always the first one to know all the gossip.

" What did he look like? " Daeho asked.

" Slightly tan guy, about five foot eight. He sang really well. " Himchan answered, after furrowing his eyebrows to recover the image from his brain.

" He looked kinda happy too... As if his audition went really well. " Himchan added.

" Perhaps he got accepted on the spot. " Youngjae's sudden comment made his friends look at him in confusion.

" What makes you say so? " Yongguk questioned, his voice sounding stern as always, even if he did not mean to sound stern.

Youngjae shifted uncomfortably when he noticed four pairs of eyes staring at him. He looked down at his food tray and continued eating nonchalantly, pretending that he hadn't said anything unusual out of the blue.

Sure enough, a new face appeared a few days later. He made his way into the building, unable to obscure his huge grin despite his nervous hearbeat. Daehyun closed his eyes and deeply inhaled the air condition, not caring about the receptionist, Han Joo Yeon giggling at him.

" Good morning! " Daehyun approached the receptionist.

" I'm Jung Daehyun. Today is the very first day of my trainee life. "

The receptionist laughed at the youngster's cuteness.

" I know. I am Han Joo Yeon. Out of all the trainees I have seen making their first step into this building, you're the funniest one. I have never seen anyone inhale so deeply the moment they stepped into the building. "

Daehyun laughed politely at the small talk and bowed.

" I will be on my way then. " He flashed her an adorable cresent-eyed smile before continuing on his way.

First up, dance class. Here I come!

Daehyun took the lift to the third floor. Once he stepped out of the lift, he could already see some male trainees on the corridor. When their eyes met, Daehyun smiled at them and they also returned his smile. Although their smiles were forced, at least they made an effort to be polite to Daehyun. He walked past many trainees, and just like he had expected, he knew none of them.

However, he happened to have already met on of them. The guy he saw at the BBQ restaurant. If his memory was correct, it was the guy who was in the debut lineup, and also the guy who had a crush on a fellow trainee.
...

" Wait for me Himchan hyung! " Youngjae called after Himchan, who ignored him. Rolling his eyes, Youngjae checked his reflection in the mirror and arranged his hair.

Himchan who had walked off on him just a second ago came flying back into the toilet.

" Th-the person I mentioned about last week! There he is! " Himchan grabbed Youngjae by his arm.

" What the heck? You haven't seen new trainees before? " Youngjae couldn't imagine why Himchan was so fascinated with new people, especially new trainees. It wasn't a surprise to see a new face every now and then. Youngjae was forcefully dragged by Himchan.
