ong seongwoo

and as if god hated me and is eager to give me a punishment, he gave me a whole month of torture with kang euigeon instead.

i lean forward to examine closely profiles of the mmo trainees and what rank are they expecting for themselves. the trainees that i don't recognize had high expectations, jisung-hyung stuck himself in the 10th position, where as euigeon's expected rank fell off to the 22th.

22th? god knows what that boy was thinking when he chose his rank. that ambitious boy who dares to do anything to debut ends up choosing 22 as his final rank. twenty. two. i could be singing that irrelevant taylor swift song at the exact moment yet it wouldn't be as irrelevant as euigeon's rank. because 22th is too steep for kang euigeon (or i should get common with the name kang daniel because that's what he's chosen) and that implicant talented asshole doesn't deserve anywhere close to that rank.

but then i laughed when i saw the picture they've chosen to be shown at the screen, as his face looked terrified and his newly dyed hair wasn't helping either. it was embarrassing to look at, and i thank the heavens that i came faster than him, as i didn't want to face the horror of him looking at my ugly photo and my high expectations.

(yes, i took the first place for a reason).

and for a second i thought we were revising pictures for the class's yearbook (with a difference of being able to sit on a big ass crown shaped chair that everyone is all fighting for), because the pictures were indeed that tragic.

"you know them?" the boy beside me, the boy who took the third place and apparently has the name joo haknyeon, asks. his concept for today was a subtle gangster/bad boy concept, but unfortunately his adorable manga-like face prevented him from looking like one. i bet he's barely any younger than me, perhaps only a gap of 2-3 years.

i glare at him before answering. "no, i thought i recognized someone. perhaps it's only my mind playing." i lie.

he lets out a faint laugh. "both of us, it's really hard when you come here alone, ain't it?"

"were you always supposed to come here alone..?"

he nods. "somehow my agency trusts me, though they do know that i'm just a nugu and i barely understand what they said to me."

"must be harsh."

"so that's why i thought it'll be nice to at least know someone from here, not appearing like some kind of a clueless chick."

"ah kid, you always have me." i reply calmly with a smile.

though haknyeon has no idea what he's talking about, because being a clueless chick is certainly better than having a past mutual around.

kang daniel

i have to get that a. no matter what, i have to get that pink shirt and feel it cover the surface of my skin.

because with that creature called ong seongwoo around, i'm not going to let him outreach me.

that asshole has to experience the wrath i've been keeping because of his actions.
