Sarang- Life Of A Kpop Soloist

Juniors

"Knock, knock" Sarang called out into the artist room as she made her way inside.

The five boys lounging inside immediately tried to stand up and bow to her as a greeting. Sarang smiled at them, motioning them to keep sitting. She knew how tired they must be.

"Congratulations boys, you've finally made it." Sarang happily exclaimed, to which the boys responded with their own squeals of excitement. "I'm sorry I couldn't come and congratulate you until now." Sarang apologized.

The boys quickly brushed off her apology, "No don't say sorry Sunbaenim, we know you were busy with your overseas promotion." The leader of the group assured her.

"Oh you don't have to be so formal with me, just talk comfortably. Besides Yeonjun, since when did you start talking to me so formally?" She raised an eyebrow at her younger friend making him blush a bit.

"Well you are our sunbaenim, it's only right we call you as such." He argued half-heartedly.

"Nonsense! We've known each other for so long there's no need to be so uptight, besides now we're all one big family so why bother with all these formalities? Just talk casually." Sarang told Yeonjun, before turning too look at the other members, "And this goes for you guys too."

"Okay.... noona?" Huening kai, the youngest called out, as if testing the way noona rolled off of his tongue.

Sarang immediately beamed at him, "Exactly just like that."

Taehyun, Beomgyu and Soobin all followed suit.

"Oh right, you guys must be hungry right? I bought this for you." Sarang said as she handed them couple of bags full of food.

"Wow is that fried chicken I smell?" Beomgyu excitedly looked at the bag Soobin was holding.

Sarang chuckled at his happiness and told him that yes it was indeed fried chicken.

"But we can't..." Soobin trailed off, looking slightly hesitant as he stared down the bags of food he was holding.

"You guys need to eat well to gain lots of energy, only then you can give best performances for your fans. It's okay to have this every once in a while guys. And I've packed in lots of salad too, to balance things out a bit incase you're worried about that. You guys are still growing, you need to eat well and drink lots of milk" Sarang told them in her best 'big sister voice'.

Sarang knew the worries the boys had. She had once been in that place herself, and so has almost every other idol. They had to maintain their body at all times, especially during promotion period. But she knew how much the boys must've missed eating fried chicken. It won't harm anyone if they had some, considering their promotion period was almost ending soon.

"You know what? Next time I'll treat you to Hanwoo-" At the mention of the most expensive beef of Korea, the boys started jumping around in joy, making Sarang smile at them with fondness. "If you want something just come to me, or call my number, I'll help you out."

"Noona we don't have your number." Taehyun replied in his cute matter of fact tone.

"Ah right!" Sarang smiled back sheepishly.

"I do." Yeonjun casually mentioned while putting hands in his pockets, making the other boys in room whip their heads to look in his direction, shock evident on their face. "We trained together." Yeonjun answered at their shocked looks.

As everyone settled down, Sarang looked at them and started talking.

"It might be a bit difficult for you at times. The industry can be very demanding. And I know you guys entered the industry with sky high expectations put up on you. There will be times where you'll feel very down, where the people who liked you might start saying shit about you. But I want you to know that no matter what happens there always will be people who'll support you."
