Four Knights (CNBLUE) (Hiatus)

8. Sleep On It

I stood blank-faced in the hallway, staring at Minhyuk for the past probably 5 minutes while he tried to explain everything.

"It's not so black and white, though. A scout is coming to our performance at Angel's and from there, if we qualify, we play the Los Angeles venue to test it out. It's the last city in America before they fly home and take us with them"

"You... want me... to go to Korea... with you?"

"Ne. Noona, are you okay? That's the fourth time you asked me that and it gets slower every time." Minhyuk giggled at my behavior. My still confused look probably tipped him over the edge of defeat.

"Okay, well, think about it, alright? I'll need an answer as soon as you can get one. Sleep on it."

He spun around to go back to the emotional band meeting inside the middle doors, on the shared balcony whistling to Blackpink's Whistle. I love that song...

And sleep on it I did.

*~*~*~*~*

At 8AM I sat facing my bedroom wall, still wrapped up in a blanket ball, even though I've woken up already, my 'sleep on it' period was not over..

I decided to stay away from the sun in case I woke up for real and this whole thing was a dream. I would be 98% devastated and 2% angry as f-

It's probably already been established that external forces usually drive my life decisions since I usually do everything in my power to prevent self confrontation as well.

So what do I do? I picked up the phone and texted the second most meddlesome person I know. Hopefully she'd either talk me out of it or into it.

ME:

Hey Kaylie can we talk?

My brain meandered aimlessly as I thought of all the possible outcomes would occur:

What if there was a crash while we were on the way to LA?

What if Yonghwa grows to hate me so much that he kicks me out while on the road?

What if the tour bus got frikkin mauled by a mountain lion or a bear?

As you can probably tell, I got the over-dramatic gene from my mom..

Oh Crap! My mom...

Not a moment later, Got7's Back to Me instrumental signaled the phone was ringing I always suspected .she was a mind reader. And she would never let me go out of the country. In fact she'd kill me for even trying! Like that time I wanted to go to DC with my school in 9th grade and she didn't talk to me for 2 days.

Might as well accept my fate now.

I silently picked up the phone and braced myself.

"Hello...?" I said as I blindly hit the answer button

"Girl what's going on??" the voice of my young friend poured into my ear like....like um... A cheese packet into mac & cheese? Bro I'm tired, okay?

"Oh thank God it's you, Kaylie!" I sighed loudly and relaxed into the pillow on my bed, now unraveling from the ball of blankets and into the sun.. Ugh

"I know I'm great but damn. What's up?"

And I thought about that question. What was up? First of all I have no idea what I'm doing with my life. I was probably going to suffer through a semester of community college when we all went back to school anyway. But this adorable group of guys who play amazing music offered to take me on the trip of a lifetime with them in a country I've forever longed to go to. The only thing stopping me now is the idea that my mother might oppose...

Well there was a also money and the fact that I don't have a passport but... Yeah the mom part is bigger. Then I realized...what the hell? I'm an adult. This is my life.

"So how exactly... do I tell my mom that I'm going with a Korean boy band this summer to tour South Korea?"

"..."

"..."

"B*tch imma be there in 45!"
