"The noodles are the same, it is still delicious."
Wooseok said with his mouth full, and Donghyun stared at him in disgust. Minhee was in his second bowl and he kept on stuffing his face with it. The rain has not stopped yet, but they felt comfortable in the small restaurant.
" Remember when Minkyu catch us here? He was so flustered seeing Mina with us, and decided to slack us off. She's our savior"
Wooseok said, and they laughed. She remember it clearly. It was the day where she could not hand in her homework, and she was afraid. Wooseok ask her to follow them,and she agreed.
Reminiscing those moments, Jungmo let out a small smile and Donghyun notice it. He nudged his tall friend, and raised his eyebrow at him. Jungmo shooked, and focused on his noodles back. Suddenly, a commotion was heard at the entrance and they turned to it. Mina wide smile vanished as she saw the person who entered the door.
Song Yuvin.
Their eyes met, but Mina looked away. He noticed her too,and took a steps towards them. The boys weren't familiar with him so they looked at each other, questionable look were on their face.
"Yoo Mina! It's nice seeing you here!"
She smiled, but anyone could tell it was fake. Jungmo sensed something must happen between them, but he don't want to interfere.
"You know her?"
Minhee asked, and the boy chuckled a bit.
"We were on the same drama class. But she quited recently. I don't know why"
The boys eyes were on her, and Mina felt uncomfortable with it. Trying to be nice, she laughed, but they knew she was nervous. Whatever past she had with this boy must be bad till she couldn't look into his eyes.
"No wonder you can act. You went to a class"
Donghyun said, amazed. Deep in his heart, he was trying to make him fall for his trick. He wanted to know why this petite girl would have hated this boy, well the word hate may be too harsh, but he likes to conclude it that way.
And it work.
"Yeah, she was suppose to get courted by some to be in musicals and theater. Even our teacher was planning to send her to Broadway."
The boys were surprised hearing those from the unknown boy,and was amazed at the talent she hide. But it was vice versa for Mina. She clenched her fist and her face went red. She was like holding her anger infront of her old acquaintance she met.
"I should get going. Fancy seeing you here Mina. Hope you can give our teacher and others a proper good bye next time!"
She smiled, and looked back to her noodles, and Yuvin head off to his friends. Jungmo went close to her, and the others did the same.
"Why you quit?"
Wooseok was the first to ask. His curiosity was killing him.
"Broadway is too much. That is why I quit."
But they know, those were not the reason. Because whenever Mina was on stage, rehearsing her parts she was shining with an aura. The one that you could only saw in English theater at television, she could be Marilyn Monroe. She could play Hamlet without wrong. She can dance swiftly like a ballerina, how absurd that she thinks Broadway is too much?
"Lying doesn't makes anything clear. Tell us"
Donghyun persuaded her, and Mina sighed.
"I was courted actually, and I was happy. Until they said i could shine on a bigger stage, I was still happy. But a new kid came and every thing went down"
"Her name was Eunbi. She's rich, spoiled and arrogant but everyone wants to like her. I guess that what money did. She took the chance, using Yuvin to trick me"
Eight eyes went round, and they glanced at Yuvin table.
"I couldn't came early to the audition, and Yuvin said he will handled things. But when I got there, they already announced her as the person who will get special practice and flew to America. I was devastated. It was not his fault, but I couldn't look into his eyes like usual. Eunbi promise her a spot in a play, and he got it. I canceled my class the next day, just by living a message and the deposit "
" Eunbi, was the girl infront of her right? "
She looked at Jungmo and glanced at Yuvin's table. She nodded.
" Like you said, it wasn't Yuvin fault"
Suddenly, Jungmo stood up, and they were startled seeing his sudden action. He paced to his table and Mina try to stop him, but he had already reached them. Yuvin turned to his back, just to see a smiling Jungmo.
"Oh hey! Is there anything wrong?"
Scanning his friends, he shooked and landed his eyes on a pretty girl.
"No it just, i recognize her. Eunbi right?"
