...

The sky looks pissed towards him.
It's like the sky is trying to plead him.

...

Seokjin's very tired.

It's a day where he's been struggling from morning. First, he forgot where he parked his car. Then, he brought so many documents for his registration but the documents were barely function anyway. He also almost tripped himself while searching for his car. Last but not least, he tripped and all of his documents scattered.

After all those things happened, finally, he's driving himself towards home now after filling his stomach with delicious food. He lulling while driving. The journey to his home took about 30 minutes the restaurant so why not he entertain himself by lulling and singing some songs. While he's singing along with BEAST - Oasis as the background music, his mind keep processing the man's words.

"Me, being a singer? Oh wow, I never having that thought before thoo. Could I sing?" he questioned himself.

It's cold outside. Obviously. It's January anyway. The winter season almost end but it still cold. The sky is gray, the sun is throwing a fit and hiding behind a cloud, the grass has died or is hiding under an oppressive blanket of snow, and people are wallowing around, dragging their way through their daily in dark clothes and a shit ton of neutrals. Seokjin is surrounded by cold and he is tired.

The sky looks pissed towards him. It's like the sky is trying to plead Seokjin to accept the man's offer.

Later, he arrived safely at his house. He was greeted by Jjangu as always. The dog swings his tiny tail while running towards Seokjin. His tiny little legs move faster. Jjangu looks cute. A fond smile plastered on Seokjin's face.

Obviously Jjangu is excited to see Seokjin since he didn't get to greet Seokjin this morning. When dogs swing their tails, it was a sign of happiness. It's about their mood. Jjangu is happy. Seokjin bent down and strokes Jjangu's fur softly. Yes, he is struggling with his documents.

After stroking the dog's fur, he place his documents on a glass table at the living room. Seokjin take out his dark green coat and place it hanging on the coat stand near the front door. Jjangu is following him. Seokjin then sits on the couch and switch on the television. Jjangu sits on his lap and he's stroking his dog's fur again while rewatching a movie title Fabricated City starring Ji Chang Wook as the main actor. The main character of the movie. He admires him a lot in both, personality and skills.

Not that Seokjin is a bad guy thoo. Seokjin is a nice and kind, that's how he was born and how he was raised.

Later, the television was watching him. He's sound asleep on the couch with the television on and Jjangu on his lap.

Soon when he open his eyes, it was dark outside. He is staring through the clear glass window. The sun was almost down. The orange sky was about to disappear. He looks around the house for a while.

He stood in the centre of the living room while staring at the situation and wondering for few seconds before decided to switch on the lights. He walks towards the front door as the switch is located near the door. He switch on the lights.

His beautiful eyes shut as they're adjusting themselves to the light. It is called reflection. Then, he walks into the kitchen where 'magic' were made. Food. He bent over and peered inside the fridge to see what he should cook. He take out some ingredients and place them of the table. He stares at the ingredients and thinks. Lots of thought flashed in his head. And. The man's words also flash.

It's weird. Why does the memory of the man flash? He was about to cook so the recipes should've flash instead and not the man's sweet words. Does he doubting his dream?

When he was about to make a move and cook, there's some clicking sounds at the front door. Who's coming thoo?

"Aren't mom and dad will be coming home in about one or two weeks? Is it hyung? But, aren't hyung at his university?" he murmured to himself.

...

"Seokjin-ah! Surprise son. How have you been? Tell me about your registration" the woman said.

"Oh! Mom! What are you doing here? Aren't you'll be back in around one or two weeks?" Seokjin replied.

"What? Am I not allowed to come home?" she ask.

"Hahahaha, it's not that mom. Glad you arrived safely" he said while hugging his mom.

"Here, take this. I bought this for you, let's eat together" his mom said while giving him the plastic bag full of food.

"Ehem. It's me the one who bought the food okay" an older man stated.

"Your money is my money too, remember honey?" the woman replied.

Seokjin just laugh and smile warmly at his parents behaviour. The atmosphere in the house has become lively since his parents are back.

...

Ten minutes later, the table already set. The food is place on the table neatly waiting for its owner to eat it. Seokjin calls his parents to eat with him. While eating, there's a conversation going on.

"Honey, tell me about your experience" his mom stated.

The man's words already flash in his head. Should he tell them about the offer? He thinks. Then he replied.

"Aaa, alright. You know mom? I dont even know the function of bringing those documents to the university. They barely even function. They almost cause me trouble. Well, they did anyway" Seokjin said while pointing his hand to his documents sitting on the glass table at the living room.

"Aren't I already said to you, dont bring too many documents?" his father ask.

"Eyyy dad, you said that to hyung remember? I called mom this morning and wanted to talk to you but you're sleeping thoo" Seokjin pouts.

His mom jokingly slaps his father's hand and said "Eyy honey, see you makes him sad. I told you to sleep early last night right? So that when Jinnie call, we, both are able to answer his call"

Seokjin laugh again. They brightened up his mood again. His cute parents are always the best. Never make him feel sad.

"Anyway, I have something to tell you guys" he said.

"Go on son" both of his parents said.

"C-can I.. be a singer?" he ask.

He looks carefully at his parents faces. It's mixed. Mixed epression plastered on their faces. He can't proceed anything thoo. His parents expression were hard to read.

"Today, after the registration, when I'm searching for my car at the parking lot, there's a man accidently push me. And I fell. All of my documents scattered and he help me. He offered me being a singer" he said while his hand searching through his pocket trying to find his wallet where he puts the man's card in.

"Here" Seokjin shows them the man's business card.

"Seokjin-ah, hey baby. Listen to me. Tell me what your dream. Your real dream" his mom said.

"I want to be an actor. I want to act but..." he replied while looking at his mother's eyes.

"Then, go for it. Don't let other people influence you. Their sweets words and hopes are just fake honey." his mom plead him.

"But mom. Now, my dream is to become an actor and a singer" he reassure his mom.

His dad is just listening to him and his mom's conversation.

"Seokjin-ah, you're confused right now honey. Give your mind some times" his mom said while giving him a warm smile.

He takes his mom advice. He will think about it again.
