"hikari, hawoon... this is mister kang, nct's manager. mister kang, this is hikari, my older sister, and hawoon, her boyfriend."

"nice to meet you."

hawoon and hikari stood in the doorway, their mouths agape and their eyes widened at the sight of nct's manager bowing to greet them.

nct was by far their favourite kpop boy group, and meeting their manager was an honour for them; never had they imagined that they would end up meeting him personally.

"h-hello m-mister kang..." they both let out with a stutter.

"i am sorry i came back home late, but i was with mister kang and we didn't see the time pass." shotaro apologised as he fidgeted with his fingers. "can we go in?"

hikari blinked a few times before waking up from her daze. "oh my god, of course. please, make yourself home." she said.

"thank you." namkyu smiled before following shotaro inside.

"i brought mister kang here because he needed to have a talk with you, and it is a bit urgent so yeah, i hope you don't mind... i'm sorry i didn't warn you, my phone didn't have much battery." the omega apologised again.

"it's no problem shotaro." hawoon assured. "we'll talk in the living room. can i get you something to drink in the meantime?"

a few minutes later, hikari, hawoon, shotaro and namkyu were seated around the living room, taking sips of their drinks while waiting for someone to start talking.

"so... how come you and mister kang met?" hikari was the first one to speak.

"mister kang came at 'sweet delight' and he waited for the end of my shift because he needed to talk to me." shotaro explained.

"yes, i'm sorry i brought him back home so late, but i showed him around sm entertainment a bit and it took us longer than expected." namkyu added, making the couple widen their eyes again.

"you visited sm entertainment?!" hawoon exclaimed while staring at shotaro.

"yes, i did..." the omega said in a shy voice.

"i'm sorry, but i can't help being confused." hikari frowned. "why would nct's manager come on a random afternoon to 'sweet delight' to make shotaro visit sm entertainment?"

"well... i'll let mister kang explain everything to you..." shotaro spoke again, his cheeks flushing slightly.

hikari and hawoon both faced nct's manager to hear his explanation.

"so, you already seem to know that i am nct's manager. and if you know that, i believe that you are aware that nct are a kpop group made of 22 alphas." namkyu started.

"yes, of course." hawoon nodded, very professionally – as if he wasn't dying on the inside as his mind processed the fact he was having a conversation with the manager of his favourite group.

"however, you may not know that nct aren't easy to deal with every day. an alpha is a really stubborn and territorial creature that has anger issues. now, imagine what 22 of them living together would look like."

there was a small pause during which hikari and hawoon seemed to realise how hard it may be to deal with all of those alphas when being a beta.

"effectively..." hikari nodded.

"to make it short, we try to have them being the more civic possible on stage, but when they are off-camera, they keep fighting verbally or physically, and i'm pretty sure a few of them would have died if it wasn't for my punishments and threats." namkyu described nct's behaviour, tiredness hearable in his voice.
