NU'ESTAR: Light and Shadow
Episode 2
I was so surprised that I could barely open my mouth.
나
New, New Eastin..?
최민기
Shh, did your friend go?
나
Oh, no.
최민기
I'll tell you more details when I go with my friend.
최민기
I'll be hiding here. Oh, and please don't call the police.
Despite his pretty face, Newstein had broad shoulders and a tall stature.
It was kind of cute how he tried to squeeze back into that tight space.
This New Yorker I saw for the first time was so beautiful,
I couldn't even think of reporting it to the police.
황민현
Hey, what are you doing instead of coming out?
As soon as Hwang Min-hyun opened the door, NU'ESTAIN hid safely.
나
Oh, I told you to knock.
황민현
Hey, what's going on between us-
나
Hey, by the way, you have to go today.
황민현
Oh, why?! I haven't even played yet..
나
If you come tomorrow, I'll let you sleep in.
황민현
okay!
Hwang Min-hyun became quiet as if it were a lie.
황민현
Well then, I'm going today, bye.
I barely avoided Hwang Min-hyun's sneaky attempt to kiss my forehead.
나
Are you really crazy?!
황민현
Hey, we're childhood friends, so what?
황민현
See you tomorrow.
Only when Hwang Min-hyun completely left our house did NU'EST seem relieved.
나
Now tell me, story.
최민기
Yes, first of all, I am Choi Min-ki.
최민기
As you said, it is New Eastin.
나
...You're an alien, but you have a Korean name?
최민기
I'm a mixed-race New Yorker and Korean.
나
Then why did you come to our house?
최민기
They kicked me out of New York.
최민기
They say it's a half-baked New Yorker.
His eyes looked so sad, but I couldn't find any words to comfort him.
나
So, do you have a place to go?
최민기
No, can't I stay here?
Choi Min-ki smiled at me and pleaded.
I think this is the first time since Hwang Min-hyun that someone was born this handsome.
나
Yeah, yeah.
I gave permission because Choi Min-ki was so handsome.
I had no idea how tiring the work would become.
나
How old are you?
최민기
In New York City's age, he's 18 years old, which means he's 180 years old in human years.
나
...Based on New Star's age. I'm 18 too, okay?
최민기
Yes, class president!
나
Where did you hear me call you class president?
최민기
I heard it from your boyfriend.
최민기
That tall and handsome kid from earlier.
나
...not my boyfriend.
최민기
What the heck, I can tell just by looking at him that he likes you.
Even though it was our first time meeting, Choi Min-ki and I had a great conversation.
The kid looked awkward, like he was making friends for the first time,
Still, it was nice to meet a friend I could communicate with after a long time.
나
Your family won't be coming this week, so take it easy.
최민기
Really? Is that okay?
나
Yeah, I sleep in my mom's room and wear my dad's clothes.
최민기
thank you.
Every time Choi Min-ki smiled beautifully, I couldn't help but be amazed at how beautiful he was.
Time passed faster than I thought and the next day arrived.
나
What, you can cook too?
최민기
I learned it while I was at NU'EST! Look forward to it!
I was both excited and anxious about tasting alien cuisine.
I was a fool to expect that.
나
Hey, it's not tasty, it's too tasty.
최민기
Oh, really?
Choi Min-ki carefully observed my expression and then his expression changed to one that looked like he was about to cry at any moment.
나
Sorry, don't cry!
나
Haha, I tried it again and it was so so delicious.
최민기
Is that so?
Only when Choi Min-ki's face brightened did I feel relieved.
It was a bit jarring to have to eat this hellish food.
By the way, this kid is more delicate than he looks.
I have to be careful.
Then suddenly the front door opened and Hwang Min-hyun came in.
황민현
Class president, I'm here!
Yes.. That means Hwang Min-hyun saw Choi Min-ki.
황민현
...Newstein?
Oh my, Father and Mother.
Things have gotten bigger...
