BTS; Hope For The Future

CHAPTER ONE

Ms. Choi Jung Rin looked at her watch obviously very distressed. She tapped the shoulder of the producer who brought her in.

" What time was this meeting meant to start?"

" Immediately after lunch. Around 2pm"

" But its coming to 3:30. Where are they?"

" That my friend, is just how they act. They don't consider anyone else. Never on time like we don't have other things to do."

The producer was clearly annoyed, keeping all these feelings deep inside.
Five minutes later, the famous Bangtan boys make their entrance into the conference room, all smiles and no worries.
Ms. Jung Rin was already furious with them, her plans for the afternoon and clearly for everyone else completely distorted.
As they took their seats, Ms. Jung Rin watched as the board members flashed their fake smiles towards the crew. She was completely astonished the situation, as the boys had no regards for anyone else but themselves.

After sharing their pathetic excuse for apologizes, the meeting finally commenced .
Simple formal introductions were made between the boys and their new manager even though they had already decided to be disrespectful towards a person they knew nothing of.
The meeting was made short, a quick thirty minutes where the board representative and each of the boys signed papers. These stated that Ms. Jung Rin was fully given the right and permission to deal with the named party as she saw fit, without the interruption of the board or anyone else for that matter.
The board representative willingly signed the document eager to find out where this would lead. Apparently this wasn't the first time a manager came with their own methods but he surely hoped that this would be the last, for the sake of the boys.
Each of the members, Ji-min ,Nam-joon, Tae-hyung, Yoongi, Jung-kook, Ho-seok and Seok-jin didn't even have a clue to what they had just signed, and surely Ms. Jung Rin was going to make them see the error of their ways.

After all the papers were signed by Ms. Jung Rin as well, the meeting was officially ended and most of the board members had made their way out before the first of the boys, Seok-jin got up to leave.
Ms. Jung Rin who had been quietly seated by the door observing the boys, waiting for her chance to speak to them alone got up and blocked the exit. She motioned for the young lad to take his seat but he clearly refused.
All eyes in the room turned towards them. Namjoon in particular, rolling his while kissing his teeth. Ms. Jung Rin's face instantly turned sour as she looked straight at him.  In the mix of events, Seok-jin just stood there not knowing if he should take this chance to get out or have a seat.

" Sit down."
Seok-jin looked at his manager unamused, hoping to stand his ground. After a hot minute, Seok-jin rolled his eyes before turning around to take his seat.

The muffled sound of a shriek took the room by surprise as everyone watched Ms. Jung Rin tighten her grip on
Seok-jin's ear slowly forcing him to his knees.

" May we have the room, please."

Everyone mumbled a short 'sure' as they got up to walk past her and Seok-jin who had his hands wrapped around her arm. Lucky for them, the rest of the crew at least had the brains to remain in their seats.

" I want to make this clear here and now. DON'T YOU EVER, in this short time we are gonna be working together ever speak to me or even so much as regard me in a disrespectful manner ever again. Is that clear ?"

Even though none of them uttered a reply she was sure she made her point, so reluctantly she let go of Seok-jin's ear. He got to his feet and went to his seat all the while cursing zealously. Ms. Jung Rin cringed internally but chose to do nothing, for now.

" Let me introduce myself again. My name is Ms. Jung Rin, you're new manager and quite frankly, you're only hope."

" So..?" Ji-min spouted out brazenly.

Ms. Jung Rin bit the inside of her lip to keep herself from exploding at the very beginning.

"So.. I would like us to hold our first of.. many .. many small meetings we shall keep having to talk about a few things."

No one spoke up so she went on to deliver her message.

" I promise this won't take too much of your precious time."

"Just get on with it." Suga yelled from the far end of the table clearly sensing the sarcasm in her voice.

"Well of course. "

Raising her left hand in the air and stiffening her face, Ms Jung Rin asked," how many of you are wearing watches right now." Her own one of a kind limited edition designer Swiss watch gleaming in the golden sunlight.

Impressed, yet seeing nothing but a challenge, Nam-joon and Ji-min both raise their hands to show off their watches.

" Perfect at least two have. Could someone tell me what time this meeting was supposed to start."

" Like 2 pm... I think.." Jungkook replied unsure of himself.

" Ohh.." Ms. Jung Rin exclaimed in wonderment, " for a second there I actually thought that you hadn't been told the time." A small smile radiating from her face.

" And what time did you arrive?" The sternness in her voice sharpening.

" Maybe like 3... ish coming to 4 pm... I think." Nam-joon replied, smiling.

" So almost two hours later." She blurted out and turned her face from them smiling in bewilderment.
After letting the anger that was boiling in her chest settle down, she turned and looking at each of them, she requested that each of them be wearing a watch when they next meet.

" Would that be a problem?"

" No... I guess we have to go shopping then." They all began to shout causing chaos in the room.

" May we go now?"

She nodded her head in reply and so everyone got up to leave.

Ms. Jung Rin was the last to leave the room, making sure that her things were in order before walked out closing the door behind her. On her way out of the building, she came across a small group of people with  the producer who invited her holding the conversation.

" Choi Jung Rin shi" Producer Kim Shin-chul bellowed from a far.
The small crowd bursted into cheer and praises as Ms. Jung Rin walked over slightly blowing her head when she reached.

" Excellently done, Choi Jung Rin shi." The producer blurted shaking her hand vigorously. The praise went for a short while longer as the producer boasted about her to his colleagues.

When all the others had left and they were alone, the producer insisted on walking Ms. Jung Rin out of the building.

They walked up to her parked car when her driver opened the door for her. In the gist of the moment, the producer exclaimed," Oh how I now wish you could get them to their rehearsals on time."

" All things in good time," she replied slightly bowing her head before entering the car.

Hello people. After short consideration I realized that I couldn't resist making this story so I hope you enjoy it and the next update as soon as I can.
