When NCT 127 manager's gets his friends daughter (Michi Kinoshita) a job working as an assistant manager for NCT Dream but she seems to catch their eyes in a different way.
(Request for chapter ideas are open)
I carefully head up to the practice room with BBQ styled Korean pork belly for all of the boys. Once I enter the room they all turn my way. We all sit down to eat and I can feel a slight tension in the room, with some of the members glancing over to me occasionally.
"I guess Chenle has told you" I speak up, as I pass them eating utensils
"He might've came up" Haechan replies before joking "that you wear contacts!"
"Chenle how could you" I laugh
"I'm sorry" Chenle says in his tiny voice "but they should know you're blind"
"So is most of NCT" I chuckle lightly "but he told you all the job thing"

"We could act like he didn't. You know, you can just have your office in every room that we are in" Haechan states "so you don't work with us but you're still with us and we act like nothings changed"
"I wish that is how it worked but" I sigh
"But nothing, we can make it work" Haechan smiles
"Does this mean you took the job?" Chenle asks
"It does, I accepted it yesterday" I respond
"Congratulations noona" Jaemin smiles
"Thank you Jaemin" I nod
"Wait! Is this a goodbye dinner!" Chenle yells
"Wait don't go yet" Jisung whines
"No no no. I'll be working with you as I do my online classes as a part of my training" I reassure in a sadden tone
"So is this soften the blow dinner?" Jeno laughs
"Kinda" I stutter "did it work?"
"Yes but I'm still not happy with it" Haechan sulks

"Yeah" Mark laughs "we're proud of you. You deserve this, so ignore our sadness of you leaving"
"You're our favourite staff" Jisung pouts
"Exactly, see us being sad about you going a good thing" Jeno nods
"Imagine if we just like. Yes go, leave us forever" Jaemin laughs "that would be upsetting"
"You're right..." I sigh. Looking over to very quiet Renjun, who is sat slightly far away from all of us
I grab a bottle of coke and my food, heading over to Renjun.

I look at him as he blankly stares at his food, I pass him the coke and he sullenly looks up to me. I give a faint smile but he just looks back down. I go to stand back up, thinking he needs space but he stops me by resting his hand on mine.
"I'm happy for you. Mark hyung is right, you truly deserve this. You're really hard working noona and I understand why you got the offer" Renjun states "I'm just not happy about not going to be able to see with you"
"I mean you can always come and visit" I chuckle "unless you don't want to take an elevator and walk to my office"
"You shouldn't of sad that. I'll be up every day" he finally smiles
