KANG POV
"Are you sure it's okay to sit here with you guys," Jae joins everyone in the cafeteria? The only empty seats were by either Yori or Dal and in Tae's shoes he would never sit by someone so big and scary but with the looks, Tae was giving him he had no choice.
"Kang how did you meet these people anyway," Tae says taking a sip of soda out of the can while looking over to me who was sitting in front of him. "You use to be so anti"
"Well, I guess I grew up," I stare back and he almost chokes as he begins coughing just a little.
"Brother do you think these people are friendly," Dal whispers never once facing the crowd as he only ever looks at me like a lost child. "You seem very hostile towards most of them"
"It's fine they're my friends just say hey and stop acting so scary," I couldn't help but smile. "The person in front of me is Tae- Tae this is Dal"
"Hey Dal," he waves before I move on to the next person introducing him to Yori. All she did was give a little grin.
"Lastly you have my new best friend Jae," I walk over beside Jae smiling like I was the nicest person ever. I could tell he was uncomfortable at the end so I made Dal take his seat while I took the middle seat and Jae took the one in front of Tae. Tae was visibly displeased but since he didn't vocalize his problem.
"New best friend?"
"Yeah is there a problem," I look back over towards him and he just rolls his eyes. I didn't know friends could get jealous but I don't hate this.
"Yes you can't have two male best friends you only can have one for each gender," he mumbles, and my heart races. My new life has brought out the devil in me.
"Come on Tae don't be like that. I'm sure with time you will grow to like him as well"
The rest of lunch was filled with laughter from me, Jae, and Dal bonded over what kind of soup was better. More like arguing which soup is better. Personally, I think it is for sure chicken soup but Dal likes broth and Jae likes bean soup. Tae and Yori were in their own world scrolling through their phones but I'm pretty sure Tae was still upset with me since I got a new best friend.
After lunch, I had a very important place to head to. It was August the 12th the day life in college became so tense. Later tonight one of my classmates Kim So-ae was going to be the next victim.
It was barely past 3 pm and the event was sometime around 11 to 12 but with no clue who she was, I would never-
I hear screaming as soon as I open the door to the outside of campus. It was more like high pitch squeals from people fangirling and as I turn to check it out I see in the middle of the crowd stood the one and only Kim So-ae waving around a Jang- soo poster.
This is so embarrassing
"If I walk over there Jang soo would think I was some obsessed fan but if I don't then I would be stuck following her from afar but if I do that and she follows Jang soo he would think I was a die-hard fan that was acting rude for attention. I hate my life." I think to myself as I drop to my knees to internal scream yanking at my hair.
"What if I just leave then find her later- NOOO that won't work! If I lose her she is as good as dead. I guess the only option is-"
I stand back to my feet towards the crowd of die-hard fans shoving my way toward Kim so-ae using full elbow power-hitting people in their side, stomach, back, and face. On accident of course.
"Kim So Ae," I could barely talk as I had to catch my breath and it was so hot with the extra bodies around me. "Can-Can I talk to you for a sec," I sigh as she looks over at me. "It will be quick I swear." She nods and follows me out as her face drops most likely sad to leave her idol. I'm just happy he didn't see me.
"What is it," she says crossing her arms and flipping her almost red hair over to the side. I never noticed she was not that bad-looking. Actually, I never noticed her at all.
"Umm," dang my mind went blank what do I say? "Umm"
"Did you call me over here to stutter," the words slip out her mouth as she starts to turn away? This bitch better be glad I care or she… never mind.
"I like you can we date," I bow my head. Was that the only thing I could think of? She would never say yes to that she's already tired of me. The way she looks at me is like she wants to bite my head off.
"No, can I go now," swinging her head around I get a face full of hair.
"Wait you are Jang soo's fan right?"
"Yes and so what," her eyes buck as she recrosses her arms, and her nose wrinkles up.
"I can get Jang soo there as well," she seemed more interested as she leaned in. "He and I aren't close but there is something he would like to hear from me so he would be willing to come. "
"Oh really?"
"Yes really and all you have to do is show up to Hopper's Beef Palace at 6," she seemed to agree as I walked away sighing trying to shake the embarrassment off. My forehead was covered in sweat.
The only thing left was to get Jang soo to meet me which is not gonna be easy. Where would he even be at this time?
"Ahhhhh Jang soo we love you," that was easier than I thought it would be. I hear a group of boys and girls screeching at the top of their lungs and I turn around. It was like magic. Finally, the world is working in my favor.
