"Why are you all here", Jae-seong asked looking at the clock. "It's 5am, don't you even sleep", Jae-seong continued. "You have a shoot later at my company, I'm here to make sure you get there on time", Taeyong answered. "As your manager, I need to make sure everything's going smooth", Yuta answered. "And as your personal assistant, I'm here to assist", Ten answered then all of them smiled in unison.
"I never agreed on all of this. I can get there on my own. I can manage myself. And I don't need assistance", Jae-seong answered closing her bedroom door. "You never agreed but your brother did", Taeyong said opening the door again. "It's true", Jaehyun said entering the scene. "But why", Jae-seong asked sitting on her bed.
"You need help little sister. You can't keep on doing things on your own", Jaehyun answered sitting beside her. "I don't", Jae-seong said furrowing her eyebrows at Jaehyun. "Yes, you do", Jaehyun responded. "No, I don't", Jae-seong exclaimed before storming to her bathroom and locking the door.
"Just give her a few minutes-", Jaehyun said getting cut off by Jae-seong's screams inside the bathroom. "She just needs to let those off and you will be good to go", he then continued. "Are you sure about this", Taeyong asked hearing another scream from Jae-seong. "Of course, this is your best shot with her. Eventually, you'll know who's winning", Jaehyun answered just moments before Jae-seong opened the bathroom door.
"Let's do it", Jae-seong said stepping out of the bathroom. Jaehyun then winked at the three and gave them two thumbs up.
“Now get out, I have to prepare”, Jae-seong said as three nodded being escorted out by Jaehyun. “You too”, she told Jaehyun. “I just have something to talk to you about”, Jaehyun said closing the door. “What is it”, she now asked. He was about to open his mouth when he suddenly froze upon realizing that now probably isn’t the time. “On second thought, it’s not that important”, he instead said. “Are you kidding me”, Jae-seong asked. “I’m sorry now get back to getting ready I’ll be out, bye”, Jaehyun said laughing as he quickly ran seeing seeing Jae-seong grab a pillow to throw. Once he closed the door behind him, he let out a deep sigh and closed his eyes. “Yes, now isn’t the time, pull yourself together”, Jaehyun muttered to himself.
"All set", Taeyong asked as they boarded his car. "Yes", Yuta answered. "Alright, let's go grab breakfast", Taeyong said starting the car. "I don't want to eat", Jae-seong muttered but loud enough for them to hear. "Why", Yuta asked."You need to eat", Ten said. "I don't want to", Jae-seong responded coldly. "Alright alright if you are not eating then you can stay here in the car while we eat", Taeyong said. No response.
The car ride was silent until they reached their first destination. The three proceeded to eat leaving Jae-seong inside the car. "She's talking to someone on the phone", Taeyong said looking through the windows. "And", Yuta asked. "And she's smiling... oh wait now laughing", Taeyong said squinting his eyes. "Well that's weird. At least she's alright... I guess", Ten said shrugging it off. "Yeah okay let's just finish already, we need to be there in 20 minutes", Taeyong said.
As they finished eating and about to get back to the car, Jae-seong, like an alien, transformed from all jolly to emotionless in an instant. The three decided not to question her about it and just continue with their schedule. "Who are you talking to there", Taeyong asked noticing Jae-seong was busy on her phone. "None of your business", Jae-seong replied yet again coldly. Yuta and Ten who were seated at the back exchange looks and was already starting to worry. Taeyong tried his best to remain calm and act more professional.
They arrived at the company and immediately went to the studio. Jae-seong silently went straight to the dressing room and obediently proceeded with hair and make up. She remained silent while glued to her phone the whole time. "Should we go talk to her", Taeyong asked. "I honestly don't know", Yuta answered. "Well I guess Jaehyun's right", Ten said as they observed Jae-seong from the back.
"Any piece of advice you would give to us", Ten asked as they were in a group video chat the night before. "Just don't give up easily", Jaehyun said massaging his forehead. "What do you mean by that", Yuta asked. "Like what I have said, she doesn't like receiving help, she despises the idea of being a bother to anyone", Jaehyun answered. "Yes we know that already", Yuta said. "How about telling us about something we don't know", Ten added.
"She could get creepily mysterious", Jaehyun responded which made the three had unreadable expressions. "Are you being serious right now", Taeyong asked. "Do I look like I'm joking", Jaehyun asked them with a look that shows how stressed out he is. "How mysterious are we talking about here", Ten asked. "You will know when you see it. It varies really. Just don't give up easily, that's it", Jaehyun responded before leaving the video chat.
