OPPORTUNITY CAME

JAESUNG

"Where are we going?" I asked Jae Yon while his arm is on my shoulder. He looked at me and smiled.

"What do you want?" He questioned. We stopped walking and I think about what to eat at this moment.

"Samgyupsal! I want grilled pork!" I requested. He looks at me with widened eyes.

"I know you already treat me earlier but you deserved that position though," I told him and he sighed.

"Fine. As if I can resist my friend" he said and put back his arm on my shoulder and we continued walking. We just went into our homes to get our clothes changed and waited for the sunset. It's now 7 in the evening and there are a lot of people right now since it's Monday.

We get inside in a Samgyupsal or a Barbecue Restaurant and a waiter approached us.

"2 seats please!" Jae Yon said and we were guided by the waiter. We take a seat and choose a menu now.

"What do you want? Pork, Chicken, or Beef?" He asked me while looking at the menu.

"Only pork since I've been craving on that last week," I answered his question. He raises his hand and calls the waiter.

"Two Set A please!" I got confused about what he said to the waiter the reason I looked again on the menu.

Set A consists of pork, chicken, beef, and other side dishes. This is also the most expensive here.

"All right. We will serve your foods in a few" The waiter said and he left to prepare our order.

"Oh? Why do you look startled?" Jae Yon asked laughingly while he's pouring water on his glass.

"How did you get the money you're going to pay here? Don't tell me that you steal from others???" I asked him while shaking.

"Ouch!" He hit me on my head with a pair of chopsticks.

"Don't be an asshole. My mom gave me money because I get into the team. Aside from that, I have savings. Don't judge my capabilities!" He said while eating the kimchi.

I realized that Jae Yon is good at keeping his money while I am the opposite. I always spend my money on the things I want. As what I am always talking about, we can't bring our hard-earned money to heaven so why not spend it now, right?

"Oh. My bad. I am sorry" I replied to him. The waiter bring the meats and I began roasting them on the griller.

I began eating the side dishes so the waiter will refill them immediately. I noticed that Jae Yon's food doesn't decrease and when I looked at him, he's busy on his phone.

"Hey! Your food will burn" I told him

"Yeah. Just wait a sec" He replied.

"Who are you texting to?" I asked him because his attention is on the phone.

"Suzy congratulated me. Isn't she so sweet, right?" He said and smiled like having a romantic thrill.

"Ah" was the only word that come out of my mouth. How that girl gets my best friend's phone number?

"I gave her my phone number earlier. She's also watching our game earlier. She's located above you" He added while his attention is still on his phone. So, it basically means all that he did earlier is not for me? This jerk is annoying.

"You're so stupid Ahn Jaesung. You assumed that it's all for you" I said in my mind. Later on, he finished messaging that girl and focuses on his food.

"What's the problem? You didn't like the food?" he asked me.

"No. I'm fine" I answered sparingly while not looking at him. He put down his chopstick and get my face to turn it in the direction of his face.

"Are you jealous?" He said and suddenly laughs. I removed his hand from my face and rolled my eyes at him.

"Why would I get jealous?" I asked while continuing eating.

"I don't know. Your mood can abruptly change at any time. I salute you for your mood swings" he said and focus on his food again.

He wraps a slice of pork with lettuce and puts a cheese sauce inside. He calls my name and I looked at him cluelessly.

"AHHH" he commanded me to open my mouth and I opened it. He put the food inside of my mouth and pat my head.

"Very good!" and he smiled at me. At this point, my whole face turns hot as if there is no aircon inside of the restaurant.

"We're okay now huh?" he said and pinched my face.

~*~

"I am full now!" I said while stretching.

"Glad to hear that," Jae Yon said while smiling at me. We just get out of the restaurant.

"Thank you so much!" I told him and he smile even wider.

"No worries. I am the one who thanks you since you support me earlier."

"That's not a problem though! We're friends and we must support each other on every stuff." I replied to him.

A kid with his mom passed by in front of us. They are eating a cone of ice cream that makes me salivate. When I looked at Jae Yon, he's also staring at the kid.

"You want that?" and he nodded. I pulled him going to a stall where the two bought the ice cream.

"Two chocolate ice cream please!" I told the vendor while getting money from my wallet.

"Why you didn't ask me a flavor to choose from?" Jae Yon asked seriously.

"W-wait? Chocolate is your go-to flavor, right? We love that since we were young?" I clarified.

"Just kidding! I am trying to make you nervous" He replied while laughing.

"Jeez!" and I punch his arm lightly. The vendor gave me the ice creams and I handed her the payment.

"Here" I gave Jae Yon's ice cream and he smiled at me once again.

"You really know me, huh?"

"Of course," How would I forget my best friend's preferences? I really your every detail than your mother.

While we are walking in the crowded street, a stranger went close to us which makes us stop.

"Hello, kids. I would like to offer something on you"

"We're not interested though!" I told the stranger and pulled Jae Yon away from her.

"This is an opportunity. Never turn your back on the opportunity, kids" The stranger said while we're still walking away from her. Jae Yon stopped me and he went back to her.

"What kind of opportunity is that?" He asked her.

"Well, if you're a talented person, you have a chance to be an idol." I went to Jae Yon to pull him again.

"don't believe what she's talking about. Maybe she's a scammer" I harshly said towards the stranger.

"I am not a scammer. I am Liz Ong, from LC Entertainment and we're recruiting new trainees" Jae Yon suddenly froze and his eyes widened now.

"Dude! That's LC Entertainment. You don't know about that?" Jae Yon questioned me.

"As If I have an interest in stuff like that, huh?" He went back to the stranger and it shows us her I.D. and calling card.

"Identification cards could always be fabricated" I insisted.

"You can check my social media accounts and our website" Jae Yon bring out his phone and researched the username of the stranger on Instagram and she's a verified user.

"If you're interested to be part of our company, just contact me and go to the address that is stated on my calling card. The audition is still ongoing until December. Don't waste the opportunity as we're picky when it comes to trainees. I saw potential on both of you." I think that the stranger got offended by what I've said the reason she suddenly changed moods.

"Thank you so much!" and Jae Yon bowed. The stranger left and I examine the calling card she gave.

"What do you think?" Jae Yon questioned me.

"It's a no for me. It could be a hindrance from my studies." And I began walking again.
