It was also a bit sad that in order to keep the secret, they had to lie to the muggles around them when sometimes he just wanted to boast what he could. Of course, he wouldn't be able to do that unless a new law came to be that muggles were allowed to know. "I know... The staff at my house doesn't know either" he sighed. "My chauffeur does know about it even though he is a muggle" His parents could have fired him and hired a new one and the Ministry could have modified his memory but he had proven to be an excellent secret keeper. "You know, i'm a hundred percent sure that he would be in Hufflepuff" Minjae laughed. It felt good to have someone other than his parents knowing he was a wizard. "A super awesome scholarship in the best school in Europe" He laughed yet again. "Why do humans always make lies that make us look perfect?" he asked. "But they aren't lying. It is the best school right?" he loved Hogwarts despite the constant danger. Actually, it was the danger that he LOVED. No day was the same.
He wasn't one to blush quickly unless he was embarrassed. But right now when Noah mentioned he only had 550 during a summer job his face went slightly red. He sometimes forgot that not everyone was born in to a wealthy family who owned a trading company with locations around the world and had a trust fund ready when he became off age. "Where did you work?" he asked. "I want to try a summer job as well. What do you think would suit me?"
The thought of having Noah over at his place to play video games really excited him. He had never invited someone to his manor before even when his parents told him that he could. Maybe it was because it was embarrassing? "Do you know more people who like video games? I know Hero likes it as well. He's in my House." maybe he should ask him to come over as well? Holding a game party would be awesome!
Kimmie. The goofy grin on Minjae's face didn't leave even when Noah started to blush. But he never laughed out loud. Because love was nothing to laugh at. "She is something alright" he said. "Very peculiar. We have a fireplace in our common room and above it are dancing badgers carved in to the wood. She gave them all names, families and background stories" now he did laugh. He listened as Noah explained that another girl liked him and he sighed before he dropped back down on to the grass onto his back. "So what you're saying is you're having a love triangle and i still have no one who likes me?" he whined as he looked up at the sky. "You want me to find out if she likes you too?" he asked. "I mean, if she does then you too should date and if not. Well, then you know. One side love is never a good thing"
Mweh this was getting too serious for his taste. "Now, when are we going to raid that laundry room?"
It was comforting being able to have someone who understand having to hide their identities from friends, family, and acquaintances just because of magic. Noah figured lying about this wasn't too bad - it was softening a blow and protecting the amazing magical world that Minjae and he could live in. He gaped when Minjae said his chauffeur knew of his powers. Wow. He must have been very loyal. He nodded in agreement with Minjae when he commented that the man could have been a Hufflepuff. "
Are you close with the chauffeur?" He tilted his head slightly before joining Minjae in laughing about the cover story. "
I have no idea. Reputation to uphold? Convincing reason for us to be MIA?" he offered before nodding in agreement with Minjae's comment. Yes. Hogwarts was pretty cool. "
I think so. I think its rather special." He had only been here for a few days but really loved it.
Noah noted the slight redness in Minjae's cheeks. He was curious why but didn't ask. He didn't want to probe. "
At a bakery. It's our neighbour's bakery. I've known them for quite a long time and its the only Korean one in our neighbourhood. I started out just being up front and assisting customers but by the end of the summer I learned how make all kinds of treats and rice cakes. Should be ready for Chuseok next month." He'd be able to make the half moon rice cakes for sure. A job for Minjae, hey? Hmmm... "
Well you like video games so maybe working in a shop that sells videogames? You could talk to customers about new games and maybe even demo them?" he thought through.
He shook his head. "
I don't know.. I'd have to ask around and see!" There had to be more people that enjoyed playing them too. "
Who's Hero? I haven't met him yet." It was a name that certainly would be memorable. Maybe he'd meet him around here sometime.
Peculiar? Sounded like her. She had a very creative mind. "
She's fun." He too also chuckled when Minjae laughed. "
Yes.. That sounds exactly like something she'd do. She and I were considering on being business partners eventually. Opening up an ice cream shop that has magical ice creams." His smile grew a little wilder while thinking about it. He cringed at the mention of a love triangle. He hadn't thought of it like that but Minjae was right. It was a traingle.. or maybe it was much worse than that? He had learned that it was a little more complicated than your standard love traingle. Was a love spider web a thing? Because he felt as if that articulated the scenario well. He frowned a little when his mate said he had no one. "
Well wingman Nam at your service!" he said, saluting him. It might have looked rather silly but he meant it. He'd help Minjae whenever he needed it. Then help was extended to him. Did he want Minjae's help? Yes. However, Noah knew this was something he had to do. "
Uhh... I'm tempted to say yes but I think I have to ask her myself." Though intel would be appreciated. Yes, yes.
If Noah knew what Minjae had thought in his mind, then he would have been nodding his head in agreement once more. Too serious. His smile re-appeared when the topic of the laundry room came up. "
I mean... I'm free now... We could go raid it now, if you're free."
