The City of Seoul || Bang Chan [EDITING]

✧.* Chapter 11 *.✧

"Will Minho come as well?" Jeongin asked while Danbi let the lanyards he had just handed her for one of their concerts in Seoul slip into her bag. The female had a meeting earlier with the creative director of Division One and his team to go over the edited footage to get their approval.  After it had finished Jeongin had picked her up to see the rest of the group.

"Most likely yes," Danbi smiled. "He talked to his manager and requested to rearrange his filming schedule for that day." 

The eight males in front of her beamed. Everyone had kept in touch ever since they had done their dinner and night walk together. Her brother had grown fond of them as they had of the siblings. The Idols had met again for dinner a few days later with him. Talking over various topics concerning the younger artists. 

Danbi couldn't make it due to her schedule on that day, so everyone decided they would hang out after she met with their team.

Sat against the mirrored wall, she had watched the group rehearse a few choreographies for the upcoming tour to get familiar again with the ones that were a few years old. 

"Are you nervous?" Danbi asked while the now sweaty males sat to take a break, breathe and drink some water.

All eight immediately shook their heads. 

"Not really," Changbin leaned back on his hands. "We waited a long time to see them in person again." The others nooded.

"I'm excited to show them the progress we have made," Seugnmin added.

"I want to see their reactions again," Felix smiled. "See them happy."

"We still can't believe so many dates are sold out," Chan shook his head, remembering how their manager had told them the news. He still got goosebumps thinking about it. "Let alone the album debuting at Number One." 

Everyone agreed. 

"Let's thank STAY for making that possible with amazing performances." Minho slowly got up, pulling Jisung with him to get back to practising. It was a rare occurrence that none of the other murmured but followed him.

Danbi watched the eight males with a big smile.

She knew it was only the beautiful beginning of their rising success in their home country and internationally.

Danbi almost dropped her iPad when Felix suddenly appeared next to her, tapping her shoulder. She had been fully immersed in editing, earphones blasting her favourite songs. Now lowered to her shoulders, looking at the Idol confused.

"We are done." The Australian chuckled and looked over his shoulder. She followed his eyes and saw the rest of the members hunched over or sitting on the ground, dripping in sweat and out of breath. 

"Oh," Danbi turned off her iPad and sat properly up. "I didn't notice." 

The group had returned to rehearsals after they had talked her into staying and later joining them for dinner at their dorms. Minho had promised to cook various dishes before the tour started. She couldn't say no to that. 

"Did you finish your work?" Chan walked over to them, handing Felix a bottle of water.

Danbi shook her head. "I have a creative block," she sighed. "I can finish it another time. There are a few days left until the deadline. I think I need one of my colleague's thoughts to be satisfied."

The Idol had watched her from time to time through the mirrors while dancing. Danbi had moved to the couch in the corner next to the door, shoes slipped up and pulling her legs closer to her chest, resting the iPad on top. 

He noticed how she tilted her head slightly before pushing her huge glasses up and furrowing her brows. It seemed to be a habit of hers. 

"It's fine, Chan," Danbi smiled at him, noticing the concerned look in his eyes. "Let's pack up and get going when everyone is ready." She hoped it reassured him a bit. 

Chan nodded, not satisfied with the answer but he believed her nonetheless. The others slowly got up, looking exhausted while starting to pack their things up. 

"Meet downstairs at the car park?" Minho asked his older member, handing him his backpack and earning a nod. 

"My laptop is still at the studio," Chan took his backpack from him. "Don't wait for me and go home." Minho furrowed his brows and the others stopped and turned their attention to the oldest. 

"I hope you will just get it," Minho didn't finish his sentence. Chan smiled and reached out to pat his shoulder. "I promised to be there for the dinner, so no I will not work. Just pick it up."

Danbi took a step closer to the pair. "Chan could drive with me and I can make sure that he just gets it," She proposed with a shy smile. "I would need someone either way to tell me the directions and need a moment to give back my visitor pass." 

Minho seemingly liked the proposal and nooded with a smile. "That sounds good. Thank you Danbi."

Chan let out a sigh but smiled at his members and then her. "Are you ready?" he asked her. Danbi nooded.

The seven collected the rest of their things and slowly left the practice room. 

Danbi grabbed her things and walked towards the waiting male, holding the door open for her. 

"Thank you."

"You are welcome."
