KIBA ; STRAY KIDS

60 ; KIBA

It was the first meeting of the Mayfly vocal unit. I was wearing all black, and Seungmin shunned me for it saying I should at least look approachable and stop showing off my muscles. I had bulked up a little bit, it had only been a few days since the email, but I got straight to work trying to bulk up. It was already working with a new diet and strict workout routine, and my shirts were definitely tighter on my chest and arms.

We were dropped off outside of Cube Entertainment which was the company BTOB worked under. It was pretty late at night because we vocalists had a busy schedule, but we finally found some time. Seungmin walked in first, myself behind him and we were given directions to the directors meeting room where we'd be meeting Eunkwang hyung.

"I'm nervous." I muttered, and Seungmin looked at me as we walked into the elevator.

"Why?" He asked, "You literally have told Eunkwang sunbaenim that you love him."

"Oh my god." I turned to Seungmin in horror, "You think he's seen the clip of me saying I have a crush on him?"

Seungmin rolled his eyes and faced forward to ignore me. I frowned, and we stood in silence as the elevator finally reached the right floor. We walked out and down a few corridors before we saw the cloudy glass doors of the director's room. I took a deep breath and shook the nerves out of my body. Seungmin slowly pushed open the door.

"Hello!" Seungmin said first and I smiled as Eunkwang hyung stood up and greeted us.

"Seungmin, Kiba, hello!" He said.

"Director Seo, hello!" Seungmin joked as he was sitting at the head of the table, in the director's chair. Eunkwang started laughing.

"Gosh, what are you saying!" He exclaimed and he shook Seungmin's hand before giving him a side hug and then he turned to me, "Kiba-ah, nice to see you."

"Hyung." I smiled, and I pushed his hand away and practically climbed in his arms for a hug. He laughed and I did small jumps in his arms out of excitement.

We sat down at the table, and we talked for a while as we waited for the vocalist(s) of ATEEZ to arrive at Cube Entertainment. Eunkwang was looking at us fondly.

"I looked up a lot of videos of you." He said to Seungmin who had a big cheesy smile on his face, and I almost cooed at how adorable he was acting. He was shy to receive compliments from his senior, "You're an incredible singer."

"I have watched your videos ever since I was younger." Seungmin complimented him back and Eunkwang giggled at the compliments and his smile got ten times bigger.

"Since when?" He asked Seungmin.

"When I was in middle school." Seungmin answered, and my British brain did not understand this school system, "I enjoyed 'Movie'."

"You were in middle school when 'Movie' came out?" Eunkwang asked in shock, and I almost forgot hyung is 11 years older than me, "Wow, what about you Kiba?"

"It wasn't that long ago. I was 16 and I've just turned 20." I said, it was only 4 years ago. Eunkwang was still in shock though, I mean, I have most definitely changed since I was 16, "I didn't really listen to a lot of KPOP before I moved here though."

Suddenly there was a knock at the door, meaning the singers from ATEEZ were here. Jongho opened the door, and it looked like he was alone, meaning all the other members were dancing and HongJoong was rapping. 

"This is the wrong room sorry." Eunkwang said, and Jongho closed the door slowly with a smile and I laughed loudly with Seungmin. We stood up and greeted him.

"Director Seo." He greeted Eunkwang with a smile before shaking hands with Seungmin and I hugged him because I like hugs.

"Why does everyone keep calling me that?" He laughed, and we got comfortable again around Seo director's table, "We're a small elite." 

I nodded as I was sat next to Jongho and Seungmin, both people I enjoy very much. Seungmin turned to us with a smile, then spun back around to Eunkwang.

"All we need is you, Eunkwang." Seungmin jokingly flirted, and I wasn't even angry. Mostly because I felt the same way, and I agreed wholeheartedly.

Eunkwang kept talking about watching our clips and videos of us singing even though I was mostly a rapper. He was flattering us, and I had my elbows on the table, face in my hands just staring at him. 

"Kiba..." Eunkwang laughed as he pointed at me and I smiled at his red ears, "Why you staring like that?"

"Did you not see the clip?" Seungmin questioned and I shot up from my position leaning on the table and tried to cover his mouth, but he was leaning back and laughing.

"What clip?" Eunkwang hyung asked and I almost screamed.

"He has a crush on you." Seungmin said between laughter and I sat back down and covered my head with my arms. I wanted to hide, I wanted to die, I wanted to murder Seungmin. At least he supports my crush on him though. I heard laughter from every corner of the room.

"Look, his ears are red!" Jongho said and I felt a soft pull of my ear.

"Okay, okay." Eunkwang hyung laughed, "What kind of music do you like? We should choose a song."

He shared his favourite artists with us, and Jongho awkwardly agreed with him. Seungmin said he liked band music, and it made sense since he's a massive Day6 fan. Eunkwang said that we should choose songs to pick and make them different so we could see what our style is and go with it from there. I scrolled through my phone, seeing mostly rap songs or group songs. I had a few IU in there, and the weirdly...Adele.

The song that Jongho picked was called 'MAMA' and I had no idea what it was, but Eunkwang did.

"The song I picked was IU sunbaenims 'Love poem'." Seungmin announced, and Eunkwang dramatically dropped his phone on the table and stood up, "Don't tell me your..."

"Yes, my number one pick was..." Eunkwang mumbled off surprised and Seungmin laughed. I looked at Jongho as we were the odd ones out. I cant believe I was about to say Adele.

Jongho stood up, "Then my number one pick is IU's Love poem!"

I laughed and nodded my head standing up, "Me too! I wasn't about to say Adele."

I was glad the night wasn't over. Even though it was late, all of us had been filled with some new energy and Eunkwang hyung took us into a small practise room where there was a keyboard.
