Behind the scars | A Doyoung fanfic

Treasure members as well as pluto members, looked at him, baffled.

Seokhoon: finally

Seokhoon's face suddenly turned into a hurt one. Or, more specifically, that's what he pretended to be.

Jungwo: I-I'm sorry can you repeat that?

Doyoung: do I have to be seokhoon's partner?

Seokhoon: do you not like me?

He looked at doyoung with puppy eyes, desperate to get everyone in the room on his side. That look disgusted doyoung to his gut.

Doyoung: desperate for attention as usual, I see, seokhoon.

Another member of pluto stepped up, clearly not having it.

Spencer: woah woah. If we are going to collaborate, we need to have good teamwork. We will not have any of our members be insulted or left out.

Jihoon: wait wait. On doyoung's behalf, I apologize. He doesn't mean anything bad. He just wants this performance to be his best. I think his and seokhoon's style doesn't seem to go together. It's nothing personal.

Spencer: well I hope that's the case. I apologize for overreacting as well.

Asahi: no, no. It's his fault for not framing it right.

Doyoung gritted his teeth, as if stopping words from coming out. Because he knew matters would only become worse if he said something mildly harsh. It wasn't JUST about him anymore. It was about treasure's image at this point.

In the end, doyoung and another pluto member called jaewoo had to work on the duet together.

Clearly, the pluto members had some internal dislike for doyoung after what he said. And the fact that another member had to step up for him instead of him speaking for himself made it seem worse. Although none of them noticed that one of their own aggravated him first.

Jaewoo: you are really talented when it comes to dancing.

Doyoung: thank you! You're very impressive yourself!

Jaewoo was surprised to see that doyoung was actually very kind and cheerful. This made him confused as to why he acted like that earlier.
