Chapter 05
A Boy Who NeverIt's been a month already since Lucas has been hanging out with Jungwoo, he thought that even though he shared a lot of his personal stories with him, he hadn't yet known Jungwoo completely. Whenever Jungwoo asked questions about him, Jungwoo tends to share his stories too but there's still a mysterious vibe around him that Lucas wants to know.
At the 'noon castle' Lucas and Jungwoo are spending time together by playing board games while eating snacks and drinking sodas.
Jungwoo: "I win! give me all that gold." while Jungwoo is getting his prizes from winning the board game. Lucas looked at him and somehow he is shy to ask Jungwoo if he can watch his soccer game tomorrow. Then Jungwoo noticed that Lucas is looking at him
Jungwoo: "Is there something on my face?" Lucas startled and fix his sitting position
Lucas: "No...I...uh... want to ask you"
Jungwoo: "What is it?"
Lucas: "I have this soccer game tomorrow evening and uhmm...I am inviting you to see my game tomorrow if you want to."
Jungwoo: "Soccer game...? what time?"
Lucas: "6 PM!"
Jungwoo: "Uhmm...I don't know..." Lucas somehow got disappointed by Jungwoo's answer but Jungwoo noticed the dismay
Jungwoo: "Sorry, I can't...I have curfew hours..."
Lucas: "No, it's fine...there will be plenty of opportunities...maybe next time"
Jungwoo: "Yeah, maybe next time...uhmm how about our parents did you ask them to see your game?" Lucas shook his head and said
Lucas: "I haven't..."
Jungwoo: "Why not try to ask them...? it would be good if they know you are excelling to something even though they aren't in good terms with your choice."
Lucas: "I don't know..." Jungwoo sat next to Lucas and said
Lucas always felt like eating lunch and dinner with his parents is a business that he needs to attend. He felt that kind of loneliness inside of his comfort zone. Though Lucas might feel something like that, he doesn't blame his parents because somehow in his part he understands them.
Jungwoo: "How about we make a deal?" Lucas looked at Jungwoo
Lucas: "What is it?"
Jungwoo: "If you happen to ask your parents to see your soccer game tomorrow, we will go to another place other than this 'noon castle'" Lucas eys gets brighten and sparkles as to what Jungwoo said to him.
Lucas: "REALLY?!" Jungwoo shows a soft smile and nods his head
Jungwoo: "I know you want to go hang out in another place and I keep on declining since I can't go to your game tomorrow why not bring your parents to support you? right?"
Lucas: "Okay! I'll try!"
Jungwoo: "Good, then it's a deal Wong" Jungwoo put out his hand to have a handshake with Lucas then Lucas looked at Jungwoo's hand and they both shake hands as a sign of agreement.
At Wong residences, Lucas prepared as his parents will spend dinner tonight. Lucas who styled up his hair and wearing a formal style to meet his parents together again for dinner. Lucas asked Mr. Kang his personal butler if his parents are already at home
Mr. Kang: "Not yet, sir. I think Madame and Mister will go home together here." Lucas somehow finds it new that his mom and dad are going home together because usually, his mom and dad have their own cars and they tend to arrive at home separately.
Lucas: "That's a first..."
Mr. Kang: "Yes sir, I actually re-confirm it and it's true they are together in the same car."
After an hour of waiting, Mr. and Mrs. Wong finally arrive at home they straightly went to the dining area. Mr. Wong who is wearing a navy blue suit as he is wearing eyeglasses while Mrs. Wong is wearing an elegant color maroon dress as her hair tied up with dangling earrings. Lucas who is sitting at the middle of the long table somehow finds awkward to see his parents again and them eating dinner together again. Lucas remembers the deal with him and Jungwoo. Lucas clears his throat and takes a sip of water before he utters a word. Lucas looked his mom at the right side and his dad on the left side.
Lucas: "Mom...Dad..." Mrs. Wong respond to Lucas first with a question
Mrs. Wong: "What is it darling?"
Lucas:I...uh...have a game tomorrow evening. soccer game and it's our final season and uh..." Lucas looked down at his hands but find the courage to ask again
Lucas: "I want you mom and dad to see my soccer game tomorrow, I am the front lead of the game tomorrow and I want you to see it. If your schedules will permit..." After Lucas asked them, there's silence between them and Lucas have thought that he will hear the same answers again from them that they can't go because they are busy, they can't go because they have a meeting, they can't go because of important business, shooting matters then suddenly Mr. Wong talk
Mr. Wong: "What is the time for your soccer game tomorrow?"
Lucas: "6:00 PM"
Mr. Wong: "Okay, we will see your game tomorrow." Lucas somehow got surprised
Lucas: "Really?!!"
Mr. Wong: "Yes, I have not other schedule tomorrow evening. Your mom doesn't have any tapings too, I might probably get your mom then we will straightly go to your school."
Mrs. Wong: "Do you want us to wear something like a cheer t-shirt for you darling?" Lucas somehow get embarrassed with it and he said
Lucas: "No! mom just wear a casual outfit that's it" somehow the events have turned, the way Lucas imagine that his par
