Junhui

The whole place was surreal especially the youth unit floor. It was like a futuristic movie set. Every piece of technology they were using was high quality stuff. Unlike the other floors, theirs was definitely the most colourful and lively looking. All the walls were see through, kinda like the outer walls of Wonwoo's house. Some walls were painted on or decorated. One wall had memes just stuck all over it. The rooms were cool too. There was one filled with computers. Another one where some kids were fighting each other, must have been a training room.

"It's neat, huh?" Sun says next to me.

"I had no idea it was like this," I admitted. "I'm glad my parents are at least trying to keep the youth youthful."

"You would be surprised at how many art students we have here. They're the ones who like to decorate the place," she explains. "And I know what you're thinking 'what could art students possibly offer?' The painters are really good with their hands and they're really precise. Most of them are either on the fighting team because they're good with aiming they're guns or they make weapons and bombs."

"Bombs?!"

"Yeah, they're really talented," Kitty says on the other side of Sun. That girl has the softest voce I have ever heard.

We made our way to the other end of the floor where couches and bean bags were scattered all around a big white table. There was also a dance machine game, a ping pong table and a foosball game. Unlike the rest of the white marble floor, this part was carpeted.

"By the way, where's Nari?" I hear Sun say. They go over to a beanbag and both sit on it.

I sit on the nearest couch.

Jihoon and Seungcheol sit across from me.

"I'll text her," Kitty replies. "She didn't join the fighting team today because she had an emergency at home."

"Oh, is it bad?" Sun sounded worried.

"No it's just her brother causing trouble at school again. Aish she's not his mother, I wish her dad could step up a little."

"I agree. Also can you tell her to bring me a hoodie?"

I chuckle. "Here," I start to take my jacket off.

"That's not hooded," she snaps. "It won't cover anything." And she's back to being annoyed with me.

"Just trying to help," I defend. I wanted to tease her about what happened at the toilets but I remembered her brother was sitting right there. "So Jihoon why are you here?"

He sits up straight on the couch and puts his phone away. "I go to a music school now, young master. It's expensive."

I nod in understanding. "I see. Also can you let out the memo to everyone and say that I don't like being called young master? It's weird. I prefer Junhui."

"But we can't we don't want your parents to think we're being disrespectful," Kitty pipes in.

"I'll tell them. So please, call me Junhui, got it?" I look at the three, avoiding eye contact with Sun.

Jihoon and Seungcheol nod their heads slowly.

"You're one year older than me. Can't I call you oppa?" Kitty bats her eyelashes. She's cute.

"I like that," I flash her a smile.

She giggles causing Sun to roll her eyes.

"I'm here! I'm here!" A girl screamed as she runs out of the elevator towards the two girls on the bean bag. She lays on them both with her arms spread open. "It's only been a week but I've missed you girl!"

Sun laughs from underneath, "I've missed you too queen!"

The girl struggles to get up but once she does she goes into her brown backpack and takes out a red hoodie. "Here," she plops it onto Sun's head.

Sun gratefully takes it and puts it on. "By the way, thats Junhui." She gestures to me. "Junhui, this is Nari."

I stand up and shake her hand.

"You mean thee young master Junhui?" The girl gasps over dramatically. "We finally get to meet you wow!" She was too excited to see me, but I couldn't blame her.

"I'm better look in person right?" I smirk and sit back down, patting the seat next to me.

She sits uncomfortably close, "tell me about it," she laughs. She was about to say something else but everyone around suddenly stands.

I look at where they were facing. I laughed. It was my parents.

Father had 5 plastic bags hanging from each of his forearms and holding another 2 with his hands. Mother was carrying a huge box, which she was struggling with.

I run over and take the box from her.

"Be careful there's two layers of boba drinks stacked on top of each other in there," she says.

I go over to the table and place the box on it.

Father does the same with the plastic bags which I assumed contained chicken. "Gather around," he waves everyone over.

Silently everyone does.

"As you all probably know by now today my son," he puts a hand on my shoulder, "encountered an attempted assassination. It has been confirmed that his assigned body guard miss Choi Sun has killed one of them and the other one had escaped with no identification. I don't see this as a loss as my son is here with us, alive and unharmed." He pauses. "I would like to thank you all for your hard work and cooperation to the Moon clan. You youngster really are something." He claps his hands together. "My wife and I would like to show our appreciation to you all so here's some boba and chicken!" He laughs. "And for those of you involved in today's  victory, the fighting team, including Choi Sun and Choi Seungcheol and of course the none other leader of the hacking team Lee Jihoon, expect a small gift in your bank accounts on your next pay." He takes my mother's hand. "We will be off then, enjoy!"

The youth unit cheer them on as they leave the floor. When they were gone they went straight for the food.

Kitty, being the small girl that she is, struggled to get through the people. She eyed the boba box in desperation.

I laugh and started pushing through. Not that it was hard, everyone kinda just made way for me. I put my hand in the box and took out 3 boba drinks. After that I grabbed the struggling Kitty out of the crowd and took her back to the beanbag where Sun and Nari were sitting. "Here," I hand them each a drink.

"Thank you!" Kitty's eyes fell in love. Not with me though, the drink.

"Thanks," Nari smiles.

"I don't want this," Sun throws the drink back at me.

"Don't be rude, my parents bought this for you." I unattached the sealed straw to the plastic cup and punched a hole through the middle of the sealed lid. I crouch down so I was eye levelled with her, "take it."

"No you drink it," she crosses her arms.

I take a sip, it was surprisingly really good, "we'll share. Here." I sit on the floor and hand it to her.

She sighs and starts drinking, "you're so stubborn."

"So are you," I shot back. I realised she was in a bad mood all of a sudden. Why are girls so confusing sometimes?
