Chapter 1: Can You Turn Off Your Phone

As discreetly as possible, Changyoung scrolled through his phone, eyes flitting over the dimmed screen. There was another new girl group in the news again. Many articles covered their debut, and he couldn't help but feel a rising excitement. Those girls must have completed their dreams with debuting. How amazing!

"Mr. Won, can you turn off your phone?" the teacher asked. Ears red, Changyoung turned his phone off and put it back in his pocket. "That's the third class in a row. Once more, and your parents will be called. Understood?"

"Yes, sir."

From the corner of his eye, the boy saw his friend Jungkook snickering behind his hand. What a supportive friend.

After that boring class got out, it was time for P.E. They got ready, and all the boys headed to the gym. The teacher, who was already there, led them in some typical stretches and warm-ups before saying the students could do whatever they wanted for the rest of the period. The only requirement was that it be physical activity.

"Hey, Changyoung, over here!" Jungkook called. The boy went over to Jungkook's little corner of the gym. "What do you want to do?"

"Well, we could try that dance Hobi-hyung showed us yesterday. You know, the one we've been practicing," Changyoung suggested.

Jungkook laughed nervously. "Well, I don't want to embarrass myself in front of the other students."

The same idea struck Changyoung very suddenly as he looked around at the other students. They were playing sports and games already while they still had no idea what to do. "Yeah, I guess you're right. Maybe... Do you want to just run laps then?" Jungkook nodded, so that's what they settled on.

Personally, Changyoung was glad he agreed to run. He had more endurance than Jungkook did, but, had they done something strength-related, Jungkook would've knocked him out of the park. He was a little stronger than the average kid, but Jungkook was a beast. Honestly, he had to be the strongest fourteen-year-old Changyoung had ever met!

They were able to maintain a run for awhile around the court, but, as they ran past a group of boys, Changyoung felt a yank on the back of his shirt. He was roughly stopped and dropped, falling on the floor. There were laughs all around while Jungkook helped him back up. When he was standing again, Changyoung was facing none other than the school bully, Jisung.

"Wow, didn't know you could fall that easily, Won," Jisung teased. The boys around him laughed. "You and your gay boyfriend running through the flowers again?"

Jungkook and Changyoung both shrunk back. "Not m'boyfriend," the latter muttered.

"Sorry what was that?" Jisung said. "Couldn't hear you over all your boyfriend's crying."

Changyoung looked over and saw Jungkook's eyes watering, lip quivering. As scared as Changyoung was, he was mad at this guy for talking about him and Jungkook like that. He stepped forward and looked into the bully's cold eyes. "Sorry what was that? Couldn't hear you over all that testosterone running away from you. You're just jealous I've got a friend I don't have to pay for."

His eyes widened, and Changyoung saw a fist being suddenly raised. He didn't have time to react before he was punched straight in the face. Pain flooded his nose as red flowed down his face. Clapping a hand to it to try and stop the bleeding, he winced.

"Changyoung!" Jungkook yelled.

Just then the teacher came over and took a look at the hurt boy. "To the nurse, Won. Escort him, Jeon. And you, Mr. Han, will have a talk with me."

Jungkook and Changyoung left quickly for the nurse's office, not wanting to be there any longer. "I'm sorry, Changyoung," Jungkook said. "I should've pushed him or something."

"It's fine, Kook-hyung. My nose isn't broken or anything," the other assured him. "At least the teacher will punish him."

"Yeah, and you did burn him pretty badly too. Nice job." Changyoung laughed a little, glad Jungkook wasn't too down about it.

The nurse took care of Changyoung quickly, ultimately saying he'd just have to wait until it stopped bleeding. Luckily nothing was really wrong, or Jungkook would've felt even guiltier. Also lucky for the boys, gym was the last class of the day. Once the nurse made sure Changyoung was fine, they left the office and got to leave early.

They were just walking out the school doors when Jungkook started talking. "Hey, what were you looking at on your phone anyway?" he asked.

Changyoung sighed, eyes focused out on the horizon. "Did you know EXID just debuted?" he asked.

"No, did they really?" Changyoung nodded. "So you were looking at K-Pop again, huh? Honestly, you're still on that?"

"Come on, hyung. I know you think about it too. Your singing is better than a lot of idols out there, and my rap isn't half bad either. We've been practicing dance non-stop with Hobi-hyung. He's already been accepted as a trainee. It's not impossible."

"Changyoung, you know just as well as I do, no matter how good we are, no company would take us. Not to mention, our parents are against it."

Jungkook took a chance look at Changyoung as they were stuck by the stoplight. His eyes were bright with desperation, and his shoulders were slumped. "You haven't even tried talking about it yet! Why are you so scared of this?"

Jungkook avoided eye contact as they crossed the street. "Hobi-hyung is a trainee, and... he seems so tired all the time. He talks a lot about how hard it is, and... It just makes me think it's not really worth it."

Changyoung's face fell. "Well, I'm scared too." He paused, not sure what else to say. "But, Kookie-hyung, this is what we both want, right?"

A fond smile ghosted over Jungkook's lips. "It's all I've ever dreamed about."

"Then we have to at least try. How about this? We'll ask Hobi-hyung, and, if he says we should, we'll audition for a company, okay?"

It took Jungkook a minute, but finally he nodded. "All right. But we'll both audition for the same company, right?"

"Course. Why would I want to do it without you?"
