ugly dance
@lgchaneul
when it came to prior experiences with the company seniors, unfortunately kangmin had already realised by now that there was no telling when someone was really to take him by surprise and whenever something was a legitimate event he should be caring about. april's fool was, however, always a day to be suspicious, but unfortunately he had forgotten all about the passing of months in the midst of repetitive training and preparing for his last year in university. needless to say, even if he had imagined something being on, this year the prank was masqueraded so much like an actual event that it was only when drowned in confetti that kangmin first began thinking something was off. after all, how did one get that much glittery pieces stuck in a ceiling fan?
of course he had already been taken utterly by surprise when it fell down, even going so far as to let out a loud embarrassing yelp and cling to his nearest trainee colleague who had been filling out the forms alongside him. a junior in training, but much closer to himself in age than some of the other people in the company which often gave him a sense of reassurance. of course he admired those who had moved against their youthfulness and the limitations it might implore on them and actually pursued their dreams from a young age, but kangmin couldn't help but admit that there was often a gap in mental age between himself and the much younger trainees, even more so a sense of jealousy.
dowsed in confetti they were urged to go change to be more presentable for the photo session, and although kangmin was definitely expecting a follow up, he had no way of knowing when or how it would come. suspicious glances were shot around the hallways they made their ways through lest someone should jump out from behind a corner and cover them in whipped cream or something like that. it seemed haneul noticed his jumpiness, and kangmin felt a bit sheepish at that. instead he attempted to strike up a conversation.
"ah, that really surprised me," he said with a weak laughter and furrowed brows. "i swear i could feel my heart jump out of my chest. who'd have imagined for that much confetti to be up there... i swear it must have been like how it feels to be on some kind of end of year stage where they force you to shower in the stuff..."
