"What are you doing here", Jae-seong asked. "May I have the honor of walking to school with you", Ten asked extending his hand towards Jae-seong. "It's too early for this", Jae-seong said repeating what she had said to Jaehyun earlier. "What ruined your morning princess", Ten asked holding Jae-seong's hand. "Let's just go", Jae-seong said pulling Ten as she walked.
"Hey hey hey, what happened", Ten asked stopping Jae-seong from walking. "I'll tell you after my morning coffee", Jae-seong said as Ten sighed. Ten then got willingly dragged to the coffee shop that Jae-seong always goes to. She ordered her usual and sat on a table with Ten. "What time is your first class", Jae-seong asked. "At 10, why", Ten responded. "Mine starts at 9:30", Jae-seong said taking a sip from her coffee.
"Why are you out so early then? It's only 15 past 7", Ten said looking at his watch. "Because I'm trying to escape chaos", Jae-seong answered. "What chaos", Ten asked again knowing fully that is has something to do with what ruined her morning. "You really wanna know", Jae-seong asked as Ten nodded. "There were scouting agents that went to our house earlier. They are basically scouting me to join their entertainment companies", Jae-seong explained which shocked Ten.
"You were scouted too", he asked which confused Jae-seong as she raised an eyebrow at Ten. "I was messaged by three companies as well last night telling me that they want me to join their companies", Ten explained. "Was it the so-called top 3 big entertainment companies", Jae-seong asked. "I think so", Ten answered. "No way", Jae-seong said surprised. "Will you accept their offer", Ten asked. "I don't really know. I am also confused on why a video during the pageant was uploaded and why is it uploaded this late", Jae-seong said pouting as if she was thinking so hard.
"Does it matter? I mean, it is already online. Internet is forever really", Ten said making Jae-seong nod in agreement. Jae-seong then grew silent as she stared into nothingness. "Whatever you choose, I choose", Ten said breaking the silence snapping Jae-seong back to reality. "But I still don't know", Jae-seong said. "Don't worry about it too much. Take your time, they sure can wait", Ten said holding her hands and giving her a reassuring smile.
A moment of silence enveloped the two as they proceeded to finish their coffee. “Don’t you have a dual citizenship”, Ten asked out of nowhere. “Why’d you suddenly ask”, Jae-seong asked startled. “Just some random thought”, Ten responded shrugging. “Yes, I have a dual citizenship, I was born in the States but I have full blooded Korean parents”, Jae-seong explained. “Oh, your mom is full blooded”, Ten asked making Jae-seong confused. “I’ve been told, why”, Jae-seong asked back. “Nothing, let’s just head to class”, Ten waved off the thought.
"You look so worked up. What's bothering you", Lucas asked Jae-seong as their last class just came to an end. "Lots of things", Jae-seong answered fixing her things still. Some things just never change. "I'm listening", Lucas said picking up Jae-seong's bag as they start to walk out the room. "Kinda don't wanna talk about it yet", Jae-seong said. "That's alright. Whenever you are ready, I'll be listening", Lucas said placing an arm on Jae-seong's shoulders.
"Do you know about the pageant video", Jae-seong suddenly asked. "Well yeah, it gained lots of views and comments", Lucas answered. "How are you so calm about this", Jae-seong asked. "Because I know what's going on in your mind", Lucas answered. "Humma", Jae-seong asked. "I got scouted too, this morning", Lucas said smiling at her. "Why are you telling me this only now", Jae-seong asked pouting. "Because I was waiting for you to tell me first", Lucas answered chuckling.
"Which will you choose anyway", Lucas continued. "I really really really don't know", Jae-seong answered. "Alright then. Just remember that whatever you choose, I choose", Lucas said which had Jae-seong taken aback. "What", Jae-seong asked. "Whatever you choose, I choose", Lucas repeated. "Something wrong with that", Lucas asked. "Just something I heard earlier", Jae-seong said. "From Ten", Lucas asked again.
"How did you know", Jae-seong asked punching Lucas. "Why are you suddenly getting violent? We talked earlier", Lucas said laughing. "Why did I even ask? Of course you talked", Jae-seong said sarcastically throwing her hands in the air and leaving Lucas behind.
"Are you with Jae-seong", Lucas asked as soon as Ten answered the phone. "I just dropped her off her class, why", Ten responded. "I suppose you were scouted as well", Lucas said. "And I suppose you wanna know how Jae-seong reacted", Ten said which made Lucas laugh. "Hit me", Lucas said. "Obviously, she was pissed. She's really confused. But I told her, whatever she chooses, I'll choose", Ten answered which gave Lucas an idea. "Well looks like I'll be doing the same, thanks by the way", Lucas responded. "Anytime", Ten said before ending the call.
