Vampire Idol (BL)

"Was that your dad?"Oh Ji-hoon asked curiously, tugging at Roh Yoon-ho's arm. The two boys were seated beside each other on Oh Ji-hoon's bed and Roh Yoon-ho seemed to be in a contemplative mood barely noticing the boy seated next to him.

"Yoon hyung?"Oh Ji-hoon whined swinging Roh Yoon-ho's arm , finally gaining his attention.

"What?"Roh Yoon-ho responded sounding almost annoyed.

"Is that man who visited your dad?"

"He's my uncle,"Roh Yoon-ho lied. Earlier when they left the meeting room,Roh Yoon-ho's music teacher visited him at the company and everyone witnessed their interaction coming up with their own speculations about their relationship which Oh Ji-hoon was eager to confirm about.

"He's kinda handsome,"Oh Ji-hoon complimented.

"You've literally said every guy you've met is handsome,"Roh Yoon-ho mocked him.

"But it's true,"Oh Ji-hoon said in defense.

"Where you're from there must have been no handsome men so that's why you claim everyone is handsome here,"Roh Yoon-ho mocked him further. One thing about Roh Yoon-ho, despite being quiet and reserved most of the time ,the minute he would open that mouth of his he would get all sassy always ready to roast other people.

"How can you say that? Aren't I handsome?"

"No ,you're cute,"Roh Yoon-ho said teasingly.

"What's the difference?"

"Handsome is for mature guys,"Roh Yoon-ho clarified.

"Are you saying I'm not mature?"Oh Ji-hoon questioned feeling offended.

"Isn't it true?"Roh Yoon-ho questioned back teasingly.

"Such a meanie!" Oh Ji-hoon snorted and pouted his lips,"Let me call my grandma."

Oh Ji-hoon stormed out of the room to call his grandma who he had been missing since he left. He was also feeling kinda homesick. Maybe talking to his grandma would be as half as being home.

By Sunday pretty much had been done including signing of contracts and choosing stage names. With the help of the managers and CEO the trainees were able to come up with stage names which were either derived from their names and some other nicknames.

Park James chose PJ- initials derived from the first letters of his two names,

Roh Yoon-ho chose Yoon, a short form for his given name,

Oh Ji-hoon chose Jio,an endearing nickname his mother used to call him while she was still alive ,

Moon Ji-hoo chose to go with his given name Jihoo,

Kim Minsu became K-Min,also derived from both of his names and ,

Baek Hyun-jun also went with his given name Hyunjun.

On Sunday afternoon,Park Seung-ho decided to take the boys out for shopping. Considering they would be limited from going out most of the time,they had to buy necessities beforehand.And that's how they found themselves in the mall strolling around picking whatever they intended to buy. Park James and Roh Yoon-ho were well off financially so they didn't have to worry much about shopping. Moon Ji-hoo,Kim Minsu and Baek Hyun-jun could manage to buy the necessities while Oh Ji-hoon on the other hand was stranded in the mall. He didn't have money for shopping. He had selflessly handed all his earnings to his grandmother so that she could use it while he was away considering that she had no other source of income.

Oh Ji-hoon avoided the others because he was too embarrassed to say he didn't have money. He opted to window shop instead but he felt like a creep. Judging from his dressing code they'd think he was there to shoplift.

"Jihoon-ah, aren't you buying anything?"Park Seung-ho's gentle voice crept to his ears and he turned to face him fiddling with his fingers nervously.

"I don't think I want to buy anything,"Oh Ji-hoon muttered nervously.

"Here use this,"Park Seung-ho said stretching out his hand that had a black card on it.

Oh Ji-hoon raised his slowly and immediately jumped at the sight of the black card being held out in his direction. A black card? Was Park Seung-ho a millionaire or something? He wondered. But yeah Park Seung-ho was a low-key millionaire. With all his years of existence how could be some helpless poor man struggling with financial issues.

"I can't use that,"Oh Ji-hoon denied stepping back thinking that the blackcard was a treasure that could be ruined by his proximity to it.

"You don't have to worry about repaying me. One day when you become successful in the entertainment industry you can pay me back,"Park Seung-ho offered with an assuring smile.

"Really?"Oh Ji-hoon exclaimed in delight.

Convinced by Park Seung-ho's offer,Oh Ji-hoon took the card in his hands and bowed thankfully making a mental note to repay him in the future.He stared at the card for a while tracing its outlines before he started wandering around the mall excitedly. Park Seung-ho was left watching him lovingly as the boy disappeared. Unlike most vampires,Park Seung-ho was a kind soul- he always had it in him to help others .

The boys bought a variety of things be it clothes,shoes and other things. After they were done they headed outside together where the company's van was parked and boarded while carrying their shopping bags.

The bliss of lazing around was over. The following morning the boys were woken up at 5:30 ,given thirty minutes to prepare themselves and by six they were in the gym room where the gym instructor was already waiting for them.

The morning workout was scheduled to take place for an hour. The first five minutes was just made up of dynamic stretching which entailed arm circles,leg swings and hip circles. The next five minutes were for light cardio like jogging in place,high knees and jumping jacks. The main work out was more hectic than expected especially for Oh Ji-hoon and Roh Yoon-ho who had never worked out seriously in their lives. Their experience was only limited to physical education activities back in high school.

"I'm gonna die,"Oh Ji-hoon said dramatically, panting heavily and whimpering as his muscles ached while stretching. He could barely complete one set of pushups. The main work out consisted mainly of strength training through push-ups ,squats, plank,lunges , dumbbell rows and code work out through crunches, Russian twists and leg raises.

After forty minutes of the main workout they cooled down while doing static stretching, deep breathing exercises and gentle yoga poses.

Immediately their session was concluded Oh Ji-hoon lay flat on his back trying to catch a breath. It felt like torture to him.

"It's time for breakfast."

Oh Ji-hoon rose up excitedly at the mention of breakfast. He'd finally be able to recover the energy lost during the exercises.
