Chapter 7: Behind The Stage
......
Several moments later, Nayeon had escorted you for a stroll through the staircase down to the ground level. You see a white van, exactly the same car which Nayeon was before.
The outfit that Nayeon had worn was full of grace, and elegance. You've seen plenty of gorgeous dresses on Nayeon's dressing room but this was so far was simply a la mode.
"Since you've come this far, might as well have to bring you with me behind the stage," Nayeon crosses her arms when she came forth to the van.
"Is that even allowed..?" You doubted.
"Of course. You're my special guest. They will surely acknowledge you as long as you stick with me," Nayeon smiles.
"That doesn't sound convincing at all... What if the CEO kicks me out?"
"The CEO will shut his mouth if he dares to mistreat my lovely guest, or... I'll make sure he never speaks again," She promises. The last thing she said sent you tiny chills.
"Wh-why are you talking as if you're higher than him..?"
Nayeon tilts her neck and shuts her eyes and relax. "I wonder? Maybe I have the power to control all authority?"
"Huh?" You are still confused and Nayeon turns to hop into the van but stops midway to say something.
"In fact, my position in this nation is as equal as the president," Nayeon announces and her voice sounded really sharp.
No wonder she's insanely rich and successful.
What intrigues you is she has the audacity to control the authority like the president does.
Who is this woman, even? So mysterious and a lot to know about.
Does this mean she's not just an idol?
"I picked that dress for her. She's so beautiful, isn't she? As expected of me, I really know what's best for Lady Nayeon," Came the voice from Jeongyeon to your side, who is wearing casual clothes.
You yelp in surprise shortly and are confused the moment you see him. "What happened to your outfit?"
"Lady Nayeon has permitted me to release from work. I am not here as her personal butler, but as Jeongyeon myself," He mutters, again with a robotic tone.
ーLast time he doesn't change his outfit. This loop must be different from last time because I am here. Did I cause any changes perhaps?
"If that's true, why are you still talking formally?" You ask in a pensive voice.
"It's a habit," He defends.
"I bet you are still going to do your job with your master around," You say.
"You are mistaken. Just as I said, I came here as Jeongyeon myself. I am..." He puts his hand in the air, making a number 1 sign.
"Lady Nayeon's no. 1 loyal and biggest fan,"
"No surprise there!"
"Also, how can I call myself a man if I can't be there for Nayeon to protect her?" He says and that is the greatest reason you are proud of.
Jeongyeon needs to be on Nayeon's side. Otherwise, it'll be too late.
You will go back from the start again.
"Come in, you two. Save the chat later on the ride," Nayeon tells.
For what seems like a minute, the van had arrived at the back of the building arena. You barely see anyone except the staff.
