THE EARLY MORNING hours surely were not Kang Eunji's favorite but there really was not much that she could do considering Lee Soo-man wished to see her. It was currently seven in the morning but she had never felt this awake. She held her head high and did not allow anyone else to see the sheer fear and panic coursing through her veins. It was an expected response for her but she could not help it.
The CEO of the company held so much power and could kick her out if that's what he wanted. She was certain that would not be the case but what else could the sixteen year old think about? The brunette took the deepest breath before exhaling right as she stopped in front of the older man's office. It didn't take long for the Kang to knock on the door before opening to make him aware of her presence.
She was met with the sight of the CEO as well as five guys around her age that didn't take Eunji long to recognize as her brother's friends. He had told her many things about each of them but she had never met them, at least not until this point in time. She gave a small but shy smile before bowing out of respect, not wanting to be seen as rude or anything as most of them were older than her.
"Hello, sir. I was told that you wanted for me to come here. You wanted to talk?" Her tone held slight nervousness but she tried to mask it as best as she could.
"Yes, you may close the door." The man's voice sounded calm and it sent this feeling of chills down Eunji's spine because of the emotions she felt in the pit of her stomach and just how powerful they were.
She glanced over at the other trainees for a second before closing the door behind her and walking closer to everyone. Why were the six of them there? She had never met or personally seen these other trainees other than briefly because of Sungmin. She could not help but to focus on the first person who caught her eye, that being Taemin who was around her age, which brought a slight bit of comfort to the teenager.
"Now that all of you are here, I have some important news." Soo-man started, leaning back in the chair he was sitting in, wanting to get more comfortable.
He continued, "All of you have been doing very well with your training and we've talked long about the idea of debuting you six as a group. There will be questions about Eunji's presence instead of her brother but we have decided to add her as a member rather than Sungmin. The creative board and I think it is a better fit."
To say that Kang Eunji was shocked was definitely correct and she couldn't shake it as the words slowly processed in her brain. She would be debuting? That's all that had repeated in her mind for a while but she did hesitate to think about the other questions of hers. She didn't know how it was a better fit but she was grateful, although she also did feel this wave of sadness crash into her at the thought of her brother not debuting.
The CEO didn't allow questions just yet as he had more to say. "Kang Eunji will be the only female member so treat her well. We do not want any unnecessary drama created. It will take some getting used to but get to know one another. She will begin training with you five tomorrow."
