The New Manager | [NCT 127 ff]

-What's wrong?-

3rd person POV:

It's been a great week for Eun and she enjoyed working with NCT 127. Today they had a day off.

Eun first got ready because she had to head to YG for a bit of training.

After that she went out of her room and was about to head out when she heard faint cries.

Eun furrowed her eyebrows and went in the direction of the cries.

She went closer and ended up in front of Taeyongs room.

Eun: "What the hell..." She whispered worried.

She knocked on the door and no one answered.

She got worried, and as the manager opened the door and went inside.

Eun: "Taeyong-ssi?" She said, surprised to see him crying.

Taeyong: "Why are you here?" He said quickly wiping his tears.

Eun: "Hey...what's wrong, taeyongie?" She said using his nickname.

Taeyong: "Nothing I'm fine, thanks. You can go now."

Eun: "Then why are you crying?"

He didn't answer and looked away.

Eun went and sat next to him on the bed.

Eun: "Stressed?" She said seeing the bottle of pills on the table.

Taeyong: "Yea...it's been really overwhelming recently."

Eun: "Yeah, idol life is like that, Taeyongie." She said with a sigh.

She looked at him for a while before he turned around seeing her staring at him.

Taeyong: "What is it?"

Eun: "Let me guess. You're stressed because you think your not a good leader and your lacking, right?"

Taeyongs jaw dropped.

Eun smiled softly.

Eun: "I studied psychology and reading human body language for a while...so..."

Taeyong nodded.

Eun: "You're not a bad leader. Actually the opposite."

Taeyong looked away.

Eun: "You take very well care of your members. Even the ones older than you. You carry the burden as the leader and you always have to seem perfect."

Taeyong looked away crying, feeling all the stress and anxiety come back.

Eun panicked. She was never good at comforting.

Eun sighed then went closer to him and brought him in a hug as he cried on her shoulder.

Eun: "You are not a bad leader, Taeyong. You're responsible, you take very well care of your members. You Carry the burden and you always look perfect on stage. And its not only me who thinks this."

Eun: "Your fans support you, your members support you, your company supports you. Everyone is here for you, okay?"

Taeyong nodded as Eun backed away from the hug.

Eun: "You need to be able to talk to your members about this. It's not only your burden to carry, alright?"

Taeyong nodded and slightly smiled feeling better.

Taeyong: "Thanks. You're really awesome."

Eun: "I know." She said flipping her hair and hitting her hand on the wall.

Eun: "Ow." She said pouting as Taeyong laughed at her clumsiness.

Eun laughed with him and Taeyong felt way better.

Taeyong: "Really, thank you."

Eun: "That's what I'm here for. Please let me know next time, ok? If not me a member."

Taeyong nodded.

Taeyong: "Were you headed somewhere?"

He said noticing she wasn't in work clothes but in comfy sweats making her look ten times attractive.

Eun began swearing nervously.

Eun: "Yeah, I was going for a workout with a friend." She said scratching the back of her head nervously.

Taeyong nodded.

Eun: "It's your break. Do something fun." She said and left.

Eun went to Jaehyun's room and knocked.

Jaehyun opened the door and stared at the beauty in front of him.

Jaehyun: "Uh..." He gulped.

Jaehyun: "How can I help you?"

Eun: "Jae I noticed you and Taeyong are very close right?" She said in English.

Jaehyun nodded, liking her accent but confused to why she asked.

Eun: "He wasn't feeling well, emotionally." She said shocking Jaehyun.

Jaehyun knew Taeyong was stressed but he didn't think it was that bad.

Eun: "You should go and take him out for food or spend time with him for a bit. It's not good to leave him alone by himself right now. He's going to over think and stress himself out."

Eun: "Here's the company's card." She said giving it to him.

Eun: "Go eat, take your other members with you or go shopping your choice."

Eun: "Spend as much as you want." She said winking at him.

Jaehyun: "Alright, thank you." He said happy but worried for Taeyong.

Eun nodded and left as she bid a goodbye to him.

Eun was practicing in the practice room of YG Ent. and thinking about SM's offer.

She sighed messing up a dance move but got it together.

Eun: "Should I...." She said humming to herself.

A beat came to her mind and she hummed the song as she danced, feeling better by practicing.

Eun: "I have no idea how long YG is going to delay my debut. What if I don't debut at all?" She said worried.

Eun: "Maybe I should accept it...maybe not... Should I?" She said talking to herself.

Eun sighed and practiced again and again.
