Chapter Of My Youth

Chapter 5

Minju's first music show had gone well. The performance went amazing, and she was happy with her vocal condition. As for the taping, there were a few mistakes and some embarrassing lines to act through, but at the end of it all, the show was successful. She was really thankful towards Chani and Hyunjin for having her back and cheering her on during their off-camera moments.

When the show was over, she was really surprised that the staff wanted to take her out to celebrate her first show.

"Come on Minju!" Chani had urged her. "Everyone here is like family, so don't feel bad if we want to celebrate your first show."

"Especially since the PD offered to pay too!" Hyunjin added excitedly.

And that is how Minju had ended up at a restaurant next to Hyunjin and surrounded by the staff. Chani originally stayed for a bit and ate some beef with them, but had to leave early due to his schedule. He felt bad and promised to buy her a treat some other time and Minju assured him that it was okay and she was just glad he was able to come even for a little.

Minju still had some time before she had to leave for her schedule and she was glad that Hyunjin could stay a bit with her. Although, the stylists were making things hard.

"Minju you have the prettiest hair to style! I think I could do just about anything with it." One of them gushed.

"And you look just like a doll. Anything would look great on you!" Another added.

"But same with Hyunjin! I love dressing him up every week!" Said a third.

"His proportions are amazing! And his face is just so handsome!" Replied the first.

"I can literally put them in anything! I will start thinking of more couple outfits for them and Chani!" They continued giggling and continued to gush about them.

Minju felt quite embarrassed by this, but Hyunjin seemed use to it. He leaned over to her and whispered. "This is their job, so they get so happy thinking of looks."

Minju smiled and replied into his ear. "They're just so kind and straightforward when it comes to complimenting people. I wish I had their confidence." She laughed.

"I don't see why. You have everything to be confident about." Hyunjin continued without thinking. "You're nice and easy to talk to. You're talented and pret—."

"Oh Hyunjin!" One of the stylists said, breaking their moment. "Didn't you tell me you were going to dye your hair?"

"You're changing your hair!?!" Minju asked, surprised. She completely forgot about what Hyunjin was saying. His words and close proximity made her heart pound, so she was finally pulled back into reality.

All focus shifted to his hair. She liked his nice brownish hair and couldn't really remember him in many different hair colors that weren't brown or black.

"Oh yeah!" Hyunjin replied. "Stray Kids are having a comeback soon. The concept is a bit different, so I'm looking to go blonde and continue growing out my hair to fit it."

"Okay, I need to coordinate your hair to your outfits, so thanks for telling me in advance." Replied the stylist, now on her phone. "Just have your manager send me a picture of how it turns out once it's done."

"Of course!" Hyunjin said obediently, nodding his head like an understanding child.

Minju was really interested in his hair. "What exact blonde are you going for? Will it be more warm or a cooler shade?"

"Um... I think it will be light, but not white...or...uhh." Hyunjin was clearly confused.

"You know what? I'll just send you a picture when I get my hair done!" Hyunjin said. "I don't really know how to explain it, so a picture will probably answer you more than I could right now."
