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."
Looking up at the sky, Minjae pondered Noah's question. Was he close with his chauffeur?
"I think i am" He said slowly. He knew that the man was just doing his job but it felt nice having someone not from Hogwarts who he could talk to. Because talking with his parents was something that he'd rather not do. Not that he did not like them! No, he loved his parents. But ...awkward you know?
"I asked him once what the food at MacDonalds tasted like because i never had it before. My parents....they don't approve of fatty food" he sighed.
"Anyway, he drove me to the drive-through and i got a double cheeseburger and french fries and it was THE BEST thing ever. I was ten i think" But now he was at Hogwarts and he could eat whatever he wanted without the family nutritionist constantly monitoring them.
A bakery?
"Oh man, i could never work at a place that sells food. I'd probably eat it all" he laughed. Working a part time job wasn't something that he needed to do. His family were multimillionaires so he basically could get whatever he wanted. But he wanted to experience what it was like.
"Working at a video game shop doesn't seem bad at all" he said thoughtfully.
"Maybe i should try it this summer"
Hero... Minjae shrugged his shoulders.
"He's a sixth year in my House....and probably even more addicted to games than i am" he laughed.
It was kind of adorable that Noah liked Kimberly. Then again, the Hufflepuff loved love so even if he had said someone else he would still find it adorable. If only he could experience it for himself. SIGH.
Business partners? ice cream shop? Merlin's Beard that was going fast!
"Must be nice to have a dream..." Woah that sounded depressing.
"If that ever happens contact me and i'll make sure to make a deal with my father. He....or i if i become the head of the company by that time" he said.
" could fundraise money and equipment for the shop while in return you share the profit with our company" he said looking very serious.
"We can make sure the shop will be in the media spotlight! and models! we also need models to promote the icecre--" He suddenly stopped talking and scratched the back of his non-itching head.
"Eeeh... sorry, got a little carried away" he said sheepishly.
"Not to mention we have a muggle company..." he sighed.
"Wingman Nam?" Minjae laughed out loud.
"You need to put that on your business card for your shop" he said.
"Even if i wasn't free i would make time for this, come on" Gryffindor common room here Minjae comes!
