One In A Million | TWICE x Original Male Character

[42] The Big Decision Finale

*Your POV*

T-minus 24 hours. Today was your last day in Seoul as TWICE's manager, and you were up bright and early preparing for everything that needed to be done before your departure. Because you weren't sure of what was going to happen to the room you had been living in for the last few years after you left, you decided to pack everything away into boxes throughout the early parts of the day to maximise the time with the members.

It was just before 7AM and you had been quietly working on clearing out the various drawers in your room for a little while. Thankfully for you, you didn't really own too much stuff, just the necessities that you used for your job like medical treatment. Everything else either came with the room, or was portable enough to not take up too much space.

Most of the sorting was just junk and various folders full of paperwork and admin stuff, and they ended up in their box rather quickly without much faff. Sorting through all of the stapled packets and endless folders of forms and contracts brought back memories of sitting at various places and reading through fine print after fine print over way too many cups of coffee.

After about an hour of shuffling through your desk, next up was the closet. Again, nothing of significant value was in here apart from way too many sets of black on black clothing, tour shirts, the singular suit for the rare formal occasion, and the gifted chef's jacket from all of those Christmases ago that you were gifted from the members when you moved in with them.

However, once the clothes were sorted between things being donated and kept, the closet became less of a closet and more of a treasure mine of k-pop goods and memorabilia. Lanyards and backstage passes from various shows and events hung on the backside of the door, various signed albums on the shelf, poster tubes in the corner, gifts you personally had received at fansign events, and the iconic guitar in its case, all of it was stored in the closet.

Now that you were able to see everything in its entirety without any obstructions, you realised just how much you had done with TWICE over the years. Whether it was going across the world for their tours and concerts or the sheer amount of music they had produced, you had been busy taking care of the members and you couldn't think of any other job that you would have enjoyed as much as you had taking care of these 9 crackheads.

As you were putting the albums away, you were caught up on 2 albums in particular, the first one being the signed 'Page Two' TWICE you got on your first week. It was given almost as a peace offering-slash-welcome to the team type of gift from the members one night over dinner after there had been some chaotic incident during a practice.

The other was IZ*ONE's very first album 'COLOR*IZ' that was signed by your sister. Those several weeks of seeing your sister fight for her return into the k-pop world after her short-lived stint in Ye-a was one of the most stressful but motivating times in your life. You knew just how much she missed being on stage and in front of the camera, and just how much more she wanted to be back there. And that feeling of sheer relief and elation when her name was announced at that finale stage was something that you would never forget.

While you were flipping through the photobook for the TWICE album, you heard a light knock at your door, pulling you out of the book. *knock knock* "Y/N? Are you awake?" You heard Jihyo ask you through the door.

"Yeah, the door's open." You told her.

"So it begins, huh." She said rather glumly, carrying a mug of tea in her hands.

"Yeah, thankfully it's not too much stuff."

"What do you have there?" She asked, pointing at the album in your hands.

"Do you remember this? It was the first thing you all gave me." You reminisced, sitting down at your office chair and flipping through to Jihyo's pages.
