CHAPTER 1~ GOODLUCK

"You were saying?" I said and scooted towards him as I sat on one of the chairs beside him in the last row of the stalls. He looked firm and his eyes were watery. He fidgeted his fingers. I wondered what it could be. Park Sunghoon, my best friend for 5 years and my figure skating colleague turned his head towards me and sighed shakily. Was he gonna cry? What's the matter? Why did he had to bring me up here?

"Hey, Yoojin."

"Hey...?"

"I- I've called you here be-because"
That boy was stuttering. Wasn't he over it 5 years ago? What was he gonna say?

"Sunghoon, what is it?"

"I'm quitting this." He said boldly and turned his head away. I was a bit baffled.

"This?"

"Yeah. This. Figure Skating."

"....oh. oH"

I mean, I wasn't much surprised, since he recently never took much enthusiasm in whatever we were taught here, he'd just say he's sick or whatever and go home early. He wouldn't talk to me either. He got scolded by our coach too.
But the fact that he was gonna leave something that he's been pursuing for 11 years? Damn. We didn't even went to the same school, This was our place. This stadium, where we laughed, cried and played for almost a decade. I'd miss him so much. But why did he take this decision?

We were paused for like a whole ass minute until he finally spoke up.

"I'm sorry I wasn't vocal about my feelings..I feel so bad..I just didn't want to keep up with this." He leaned back and closed his eyes, as tears rolled down his cheeks. His eyebrows scrunched and his chin quivered. He crossed his arms around his chest.

"Sunghoon that's completely fine! It's okay. I support you! " I said and hugged him as he wept in my shoulders. I couldn't hold it in too.

"Yoojin, don't cry. I'm sorry."

"You shouldn't be, it's your career we're talking about." I sniffled. Damn was I gonna miss him. Our personalities matched perfectly, we were the best students here and we had each other's backs since the day we became friends.
As we cooled down, he finally met my eyes.

"So what do you wanna be? I'm not desperate to hear about it though I am!" I cheered as he finally smiled.

"Uhhh I'm so shy I can't say it!!!" He blushed and turned his face away.

"You've gotta say it anyways!"

"I-I wanna"

"Become a kpop idol?"

"..yeah."

I somehow knew it was coming. I knew he loves dancing and he's a decent singer too. But I thought it was just a hobby, not something he'll try to pursue.

"Look I KNOW it's crazy and all and I don't know if I can do this but I've been thinking about it since last month and I really wanna do this.."

"You can do this if you want to.. you're so passionate!"

"Am I? Thanks dude." He was literally blushing. He *was* excited for real.
"Does that mean you're gonna be a trainee for a few years too?" I questioned. Then I might not be able to meet him casually anymore.

"Yeah..I might be away for a long time.."

We didn't speak for another whole ass minute.

"I see. All the best. I never told you this before, but I love you and I'm gonna support you no matter what, okay?"

"You do?" His voice squeaked.

"Yes. I'm gonna miss you" I hugged him again. This time I started crying.

(Ah shit here we go again.)

"Yoojin. Don't cry. Fuck, I haven't cried in months and now I'm coping it up. Thanks to you." He cried too, and we held each other tight, because this might be one of our last days together before he starts practicing for his dream.

"I know it's hard out there. Constant pressure and struggle. But I'll take care of myself, I promise!" He murmured,

"And I love you too."
