Show & Tell ≛ Chanhee&Hoon

June 7, 2013

Hoon wasn’t involved in any of the volunteering groups or student councils or fraternities around campus, or any of the other groups that like to “get involved” on campus or whatever. It just wasn’t his thing. As such, he was pretty much never volunteered to show new kids around campus or be on any committees or do any of that ~welcome to Seongnam~ stuff that he should probably doing to look good on his transcripts. He’d worry about all that next year.

For now, though, Hoon was specially selected- and, for once, kind of excited- to be doing student-volunteer stuff. His astronomy professor volunteered him to welcome a new student to Seongnam who just happened to have the same career goal as Hoon- to one day work for NASA in the US. Hoon had never in his life met another NASA hopeful, and he couldn’t wait to find out if this kid (whose name completely slipped Hoon’s mind) had the same sensible interest in aliens as Hoon did. He almost hoped that the guy didn’t share his beliefs- after all, that would probably mean that he wanted to work in telecommunications and would mean more competition- but really, with all due modesty, how much competition could this kid really be? Hoon was well aware of his own intelligence and he was 97% sure this guy wasn’t going to pose any threat

So, anticipating a new friendship, Hoon walked across campus to the Kappa house on a Friday afternoon. All the way there he racked his brain for the guy’s name- Chanwook? Chanshik? Chanhyuk? Maybe he could just pull a, “Hey, I’m looking for Chanmumblemumble…” and hope that nobody noticed. When he knocked and someone opened the frat house door, however, the phrase that came out of his mouth was, “Hey, I’m supposed to meet the new guy right around now, have you seen him?” Eh, it wasn’t the most awkward thing he could have said in the moment.
