Recruitment

Yesung straightened his coat again, "Do I look fine?"

Kyuhyun resisted the urge to laugh and smack the other at the same time. "Hyung, you have asked that for the nth time already." His laughter slowly faded as he studied Yesung's attire from top to bottom. Yesung looked so handsome wearing a suit. Kyuhyun would rather stare and gawk at him all day long rather than accomplishing their goal, having Kyuhyun's father approval for Kyuhyun to be an idol.

"Hey," Yesung snapped his fingers in front of Kyuhyun. He immediately straightened his body and looked at Yesung. "I thought your soul already left your body or something." Yesung sighed and played with his necktie. Accidentally, he loosened the tie, causing him to groan. "Ryeowook wouldn't be happy knowing that I accidentally removed my tie again."

“Ryeowook?” Kyuhyun’s eyebrows raised as he trailed his eyes to the now hanging necktie around Yesung's neck. Of course he isn’t jealous. Not jealous. Who the hell is Ryeowook? Okay. Just a little bit.

“He’s a vocal trainer in our company. He also composes songs but he doesn't like giving them to any singer or idol that doesn't understand and appreciate music.” Yesung tried fixing his tie but he ended up doing a messy knot. He looked up to Kyuhyun, only to see the younger looking at him with narrowed eyes and raised eyebrows. He smirked, “Are you jealous?”

“M-Me?! J-Jealous?!” Kyuhyun choked on his own words, face blushing, “Why would I be j-jealous? Come on! That doesn’t make sense Hyung.”

Yesung chuckled. Kyuhyun is really a stubborn brat. “No need to look offended. Ryeowook’s like a younger brother to me. And Sungmin will kill me if I court Ryeowook. Anyway, do you know how to tie this?" He played with the ends of the tie loosened around his neck.

Thankful that the conversation shifted, Kyuhyun silently stepped forward and grabbed the necktie. He actually knew how to do it. His mother thought him how to tie a necktie ever since he was in grade-school  because he wore a suit for his first math contest. "I can't believe you don't know how to do it," Kyuhyun said.

"As if I like wearing this kind of thing," Yesung retorted, trying to watch how to properly tie the necktie, "I prefer wearing shirts and jeans. I’m really interested in fashion, so I try different styles. And I don’t need to worry if it doesn’t suit me because I still look handsome."

“Yeah,” Kyuhyun tightened the tie around Yesung's neck too much, causing him to choke.

"If you kill me now, we wouldn't be able to do our mission."

Kyuhyun smirked and loosened the knot a little, "Ok. Are you ready?"

Yesung jumped a little before stretching his neck. "I've prepared for this."

"Prepared for it?" Kyuhyun's eyebrows raised.

"I practiced talking with myself," Yesung admitted before smiling confidently, "I'm really motivated to get your father's approval."

"Do you always feel that motivated when recruiting someone?"

Yesung shook his head. "I don't involve myself in the recruiting progress. This is the first time actually. All for you," Yesung grinned to the now blushing Kyuhyun, "You're a special case Kyuhyun."

"O-Of course I'm a special case," Kyuhyun tried being confident. Tried. "I-In that case, I'll let you have my lucky charm." He reached for his jean pocket and got the star sticker he received from Yesung the first time they met, and then he handed it to Yesung.

"This is the star I gave you with the drink, right?" Yesung's amusement was dominant in his tone as he weighed and looked at the star in his palm. "Is this really your lucky charm?"

"I believe so." Kyuhyun resisted the urge to tell Yesung that it was the thing that pushed away all his doubts and fears before he agreed on Yesung's offer, aside from the memory of the child singing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, who showed him the art and passion of singing, "Fighting to you!" Kyuhyun raised his fisted right hand.

"No," Yesung smiled, grabbing Kyuhyun's right hand and intertwining it with his small hands, the star sticker between their palms, "Fighting to us!"

"Us... I like the sound of that," Kyuhyun smiled back before he dragged Yesung to where his parents sat.

***

"Hi, my name is Kim Jongwoon, but you can call me Yesung," Yesung bowed politely to Kyuhyun's parents after introducing his self. "It's my pleasure meeting you."

"Please sit down Yesung-ssi," Mrs. Cho prompted beside her husband.

"Thanks," Yesung smiled cheerfully to them before sitting at the opposite chair, beside the suddenly quiet Kyuhyun. "Now I know why Kyuhyun is handsome. It runs in the genes. His parents are even more good-looking than him"

"You're too kind. You're also handsome," Mrs. Cho laughed while the quiet Mr. Cho smiled at him.

Kyuhyun scoffed, making sure that only Yesung could hear and see it. In return, he earned a pinch in his thigh. Kyuhyun had to bit his lips to prevent himself from screaming. He held Yesung’s hand captive with his as punishment (really?).

Mr. Cho coughed. "So, Yesung-ssi, I heard from Kyuhyun you're the vice-president of KH company," Mr. Cho said, his voice rigid but still polite.

Yesung nodded, returning his attention to Kyuhyun’s parents, "I was forced by my brother to have that position in our company."

"You don't want to be the vice-president?"

"Not really," Yesung smiled shyly, "I just think I'm not yet worthy of taking such high position."

"Why?"

"Cause I believe that studying is important before suddenly doing something. I'm not that knowledgeable of how to manage the position so I'm taking up management right now as my master's degree to learn and improve for the betterment of our company and myself. Education is very important to me."

Kyuhyun chuckled quietly and squeezed Yesung’s hand. He leaned towards Yesung and whispered, "You sounded like a beauty queen." Even after Yesung kicked him under the table, he still chuckled silently.

Mr. Cho nodded his head in approval, "Education is vital for everybody. I'm impressed with you. You're one of the few people in showbizness that value education. And to think you’re just in your twenties." He patted Yesung's shoulder after praising him.

"Thank you so much Mr. Cho.”

Kyuhyun stared in amazement as how Yesung charmed his parents, especially his father. Yesung already established a common ground with his parents. Are all people from the limelight this charming? Nah. Kyuhyun doubt that. He saw some celebrities and idols before, but none of them as charismatic as Yesung.

Kyuhyun realized he was daydreaming when Yesung had to shake him for him to hear his father. "Huh?"

"Kyuhyun, can you leave us for a moment?"

"But Appa I-..." The intensity of the gaze of Kyuhyun's father made him silent, "Ok." Before leaving Yesung and his parents, Kyuhyun briefly hugged Yesung. Giving Yesung’s hand another squeeze, he whispered, "Good luck Jongwoon."

"Thanks Kyuhyun," Yesung smiled, hugging Kyuhyun back.

While they hugged, they didn't noticed the knowing look Mr. and Mrs. Cho exchanged with each other.

When Mr. Cho was sure Kyuhyun left, he called, "Jongwoon."

"Yes?" Yesung's back straightening after hearing Mr. Cho called his real name.

"You're planning to recruit Kyuhyun, right? That's why you are here to talk with us."

Yesung nodded.

"So I'm assuming that Kyuhyun told you that I'm opposing it?"

Yesung nodded again.

"Then, why are you still trying to recruit him?" Yesung didn't find Mr. Cho's voice intimidating at all, he found it challenging.

Yesung smiled, "Kyuhyun's really talented, and I'd do everything to make sure he fulfills his dreams."

"Do everything?" Mrs. Cho asked. "But you're the vice-president. You are supposed to handle executive work. How will you do that?"

"I will be his manager," Yesung smiled, "I promised to myself that I'll be at Kyuhyun's side no matter what happens."

"How can you be so certain about that?" Mr. Cho asked.

"When I heard his voice during the competition, I felt my heart being tugged towards him. It felt like I'm being pulled by a magnet. And recently, all of what I can think of is Kyuhyun," Yesung shyly smiled, "Ehm. I'm so sorry about that."

Kyuhyun's parent exchanged knowing looks again before looking at Yesung. "Jongwoon," Mr. Cho called again.

"Yes Mr. Cho?"

"Call me Uncle." Kyuhyun's father smiled, "At the start, I didn't know our Kyuhyun has a passion for music. I didn't even acknowledge his talent in music at first. Kyuhyun is intelligent, so I thought it was the road for him to take. Ever since he was a child, he managed to win different academic competitions. But, I almost forgot he could always do anything as long as he put his mind and effort. I realized he only joins those competitions to make me proud of him."

"The truth why I disapprove of Kyuhyun's dream to be a singer is because I don't want my son to take the hard and painful road. I can't afford to see him suffer and hurt. I'm really concerned with his well-being," Mr. Cho's tears brimmed under his glasses, while Mrs. Cho was already crying. "But, knowing someone like you will always be there for Kyuhyun on that hard journey eases me. With you, I don't have to worry about our Kyuhyun."

"Thank you," Yesung bowed, he too almost crying, touched by Mr. Cho’s words.

"We should be the ones thanking you. Kyuhyun," Mr. Cho called his son, chuckling as he wiped his tears, "You can go out of your hiding place now."

Kyuhyun emerged behind the wall leading to the kitchen, face wet with tears.

"You'll allow me to be a singer Appa?" Kyuhyun walked closer to his parents, another set of tears were threatening to fall off his eyes.

"Yes son."

"B-But... Appa... I want to make you proud..."

"Kyuhyun, being my son is already enough for me. I'm so proud that I'm your father."

With that Kyuhyun cried again, hugging his father and mother tightly, saying a million thank you. Yesung stood and smiled at the heartwarming scene in front of his eyes, his hands finally stopped shaking from the nervousness of talking with Kyuhyun's parents. He opened his palm and stared at the star sticker Kyuhyun gave him. It was indeed a lucky charm. He clutched it to his heart before a happily crying Kyuhyun hugged him like a koala.

“Jongwoon Hyung!”

"Congratulations to you," Yesung wiped the tears from Kyuhyun's face, "You now have the permission of your parents to be a singer."

"Congrats to us," Kyuhyun grinned, emphazising the word 'us'. "I heard everything. I knew you like me ever since we met." Even though Kyuhyun said it confidently, his blushing face and red ears contradicted the confidence.

"I didn't expect that the kid our Kyuhyun idolizes will be his future manager," Mr. Cho said to Mrs. Cho as they watched Kyuhyun hug Yesung to death. "Did Kyuhyun even recognize Yesung as the kid singer who got him to love singing?"

"Destiny has its own way of bringing two people together," Mrs. Cho nodded, "I don’t think Kyu recognized Yesung. And make that future son-in-law, not just manager."

Mr. Cho laughed, "I should have told him to call me Appa instead."

"Group hug!" Kyuhyun exclaimed, hugging the people closest to his heart. In his mind, he thanked the kid he idolized ever since childhood. He hoped he can meet him someday. Little did he know that the kid who made him love singing was right before his eyes, if only he hears Yesung sing.
