The One Moon Chapter 4

Moonhan surprised at the sudden nickname started speaking.

“Oh, yes… Nice to meet all of you. My name is Han Moonhan. Umm… Oh, I’m 16 like Haru and Ren.”

Mr. Seo then interrupted them.

“Ok, now that that’s over with. What do you think Han?”

Han thought seriously before responding. After reminiscing about his past dance classes, he was now considering the job on a more happy and open note. He didn’t have to live in a lonely dorm and use the restaurant next door’s restroom anymore. He would be in a new school with a new image and light. He would have nicer people surrounding him. But can he really trust them? What if they bully me or betray me or hit me or worse, he contemplated.

“Ahh…” He yelled quietly, the others obviously noticed this as Han pulled on his hair when he did. But, they just waited for him to respond instead of making a big deal.

“Ok, I will go.”

The other trainees were glad. After all, they only needed one more person to join their group so they can debut next year. Mr. Seo said 7 members would make better dance formations. Also, they thought Han wasn’t a bad person either and had a passion for the idol world. They all saw him when they were performing. Those eyes sparkled and attracted the members.

Han had decided to go and figured that if they do hurt him, he’ll just deal with it, problems always happen to him anyway. “How worse can it get if it happens again?” Han thought. Han wanted to join and be an idol with the people he just met. It’s better than being with bullies. He ended his thoughts on this note and walked away forgetting to say bye. So Mr. Seo yelled at him.

“Hey! Why are you just leaving?!”

Han turned back. “Right, thank you for letting me join. Goodbye, see you another time.”

Turned back around and prepared to leave again but was stopped by Mr. Seo.

“Oi, Oi. Do you even know where the company is and what the contract terms say? Huh? You leaving now without contact is basically cutting off terms with us you know.”

“Ah, I apologize.”

“Sigh, fine, fine, what’s your number or email?”

“I don’t have one.”

“What? Sigh. Ok… Can one of the members stay with you for the night then?”

The others were shaken. To live with someone they just met in their private home was…

… Han was also surprised at his suggestion but thought it wasn’t a bad idea after all.

“Umm. I guess so. I live in a goshiwon so I can rent another room for whoever is going to stay.”

The boys were surprised to hear this. He seems to be having some trouble, they all thought. Moonhan’s skinny look and panic attacks supported their guess. Hearing about living in separate dorms, they agreed with the idea. It would give them some freedom for one night too.

“Ok then, who wants to stay and help Han to pack up and bring him to the company dorms tomorrow?”

Knowing the freedom they’ll have, a few members volunteered. The puppy Haru, leader-like Junghwan and Eric.

Mr. Seo, happy to see Junghwan volunteer said “Yay, the person I wanted to stay is staying! Junghwan is the person I can trust the most so I’m glad he volunteered. Sorry, you guys but the choice is Junghwan, final. The other two didn’t mind too much, they also knew Junghwan was the best choice but they did complain about how Mr. Seo didn’t even hesitate to choose Junghwan. Eric started muttering how Junghwan is always the favorite and called him the teacher’s pet even though inside he knew Junghwan would be the best pick as he was the most responsible and most understanding.
