“Come on, don’t force me,” He tried to free himself from his friends’ grip.
“You’ll be fine, trust us, Minho,” His friends reassured him.
“I’ll only be fine after you let me go and you expect me to trust you guys again? NEVER,” Minho retorted.
His friends looked at each other and chuckled.
“Now let me go,” Minho ordered.
His friends loosen their grip and Minho released his arms. He caught his friends’ surprise look and he coughed, “Just what you think you’re doing, Donghae and Eunhyuk?”
His friends ignored Minho’s question and continued to be in a daze. He shot his friends an annoyed look, however his friends seemed to be oblivious about it.
“Hello, anyone there?” Minho snapped his fingers, waking Donghae and Eunhyuk from their daydream.
Donghae pointed at the building, “Minho, that’s the reason why we dragged you here with us and that’s what Hyuk and I’ve been talking about!”
Donghae and Eunhyuk were jumping around. Minho stood there and rolled his eyes. “What’s the big deal about this building you’re talking about?”
They both stared at Minho in disbelief and exclaimed together, “WHAT? You never heard about it before?”
Minho pouted, “If I heard about it, I wouldn’t’ be asking you right,”
Donghae explained, “This is the building that mos…”
Before Donghae could finish his sentence, Eunhyuk interrupted, “I assume you know BoA and TVXQ or rather, Dong Bang Shin Ki, Minho. They are both from this company and every year, SME would have auditions for people to try out,”
Minho nodded, “Right, so why am I here again?”
“To accompany us, of course!” Donghae and Eunhyuk chorused.
“For audition? I can’t sing nor dance, guys. I think I should gggg…” Minho tried to sneak off.
“Nuh-ah, don’t ever think of sneaking off, Minho! I think we should grab him in case he tries to leave again, Hae,” Eunhyuk suggested.
The trio went into the building and went to find the audition theatre. Donghae and Eunhyuk dragged Minho along. Minho knew it’s almost impossible to escape as his friends were much stronger than him, he sighed.
“Can I go now? I’ve accompanied you two far enough, from school to the audition theatre. I don’t think I need to accompany you two any further, good luck!” Minho got up and the two pulled him back, again.
“Minho, just sit still, will you? We want you to get in with us,” Donghae pleaded.
Minho didn’t look as though he had a second choice, he sat down. He then looked at Donghae again, “But… Hyung, what am I supposed to do? You know I can’t sing nor dance. Instead of letting me embarrassed myself, you should let me go,”
“Minho-ah, just show them what you got. You’ll be fine,” Eunhyuk reassured him.
Minho wished he was dead then, he couldn’t leave and he had to stay and embarrass himself on stage. He could even foresee what would happen later.
“Choi Minho,” The judge called out.
Minho was shocked, he didn’t know what to do. Donghae and Eunhyuk both nudged him, “Go, Minho, GO! Fighting!”
Minho went to the stage, he had no idea what he should do. All he did is to stand there, hoping something would happen.
“Minho, is there something you can show us?” The judge looked at him expectantly.
Minho looked down and answered, “I don’t think there is any…”
He cursed under his breath, “Donghae and Eunhyuk, you guys are so dead.”
The judges turned and looked at each other, the same judge asked, “Are you sure? I’m sure you have, if not you won’t be here.”
Minho seriously wished he could disappear in the thin air. His face was burning, “I don’t think I have, sir. My friends dragged me here,”
“Is that so? Dear boy, have you ever sing in the bathroom before?”
Minho laughed shyly, “Um yes, but I don’t think I sound good,”
The judge gave Minho another chance, “I’m going to give you another chance, boy. Just sing,”
Minho’s heart was pumping rapidly and he decided it was either now or never. He tried to sing, but he knew he sounded bad hence he stopped immediately.
“Sorry, sir, I don’t think I can do it,” Minho blushed and smiled.
“It’s alright, boy. We like your honesty, we decided to give you a chance to learn. We believe you have the talent,” The judges nodded.
Minho was astonished, “Whaaaaaaaaat? I’m in?”
The judge smiled, “Yes, boy.”
Minho’s jaws nearly dropped, he couldn’t believe what he just heard, “Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Are you serious?”
“Yes, boy. We’re absolutely positive,”
Minho was thankful, “Thanks, sir and ma’am. But I didn’t do anything, how can you let me in like that?”
“Boy, we’ve already told you. We won’t repeat again, please leave the stage,” The judge told him politely.
Minho did what he was told. The question that had been bugging him ever since he knew he was in, he felt uncomfortable. Minho mumbled, “How can I get in when all I did was to stand there, doing noth…”
“MINHOOOOOO!” Donghae and Eunhyuk slapped his back.
“That hurts, FYI. What?” Minho said annoyingly.
“You got in! See, what did we told you? Shouldn’t you like thank us?” Donghae chortled.
“Very funny, Hae. I didn’t even know how and why the hell I got in. Thank you for getting me into deep shit? Oh sure, thanks for that,” Minho answered sarcastically.
“Minho-ah, who cares how you got in? As long you got in, it’s a win! I’m so happy for you,” Eunhyuk hugged him in a brotherly way.
Minho smiled wryly, “Guess you’re right, but what am I supposed to do now, Hyuk?”
“Now you’ll go home and wait for their email or call, they’ll contact you and tell you about the next audition,” Eunhyuk told his ignorant friend.
“You must be kidding right, there’s another audition?” Minho gasped.
Minho had enough shocks for the day but unusually, he felt happy that he got in. Maybe this is a start of his search for his talents.
