Producer's Corner

Chapter 27

Bang Chan's point of view

________________________________________________

He was very nervous. Nervous for a few things. Kiki was coming over to the dorms for the first time. Kiki was meeting Stray Kids for the first time. None of the guys knew that she was coming over. So he couldn't clean up all at once unless he wanted to be questioned, but he wanted the group to be surprised. But he also wanted to make sure that first impressions were good.

Maybe Kiki could just meet them somewhere else. Like the company or something. No. It's too late to change plans. I need a new one to get them out of the house.

Chan makes his way into the living room and calls for the other members. "Stray Kids meeting!"

Groans and complaints sound out through the dorm, but eventually everyone makes it into the room. Everyone spread out along the couch and floor, with Chan standing in front of the TV.

"Do we need to go grocery shopping? Or shopping in general?" He hoped they needed to; if they didn't need anything, he wasn't sure how else to get them out of the house.

"I think we need more food. We ate quite a bit this week." Seungmin says first.

"Oh! If we're going shopping, can we get stuff for my baking? I want to do another baking vlog." Felix excitedly asks.

Changbin was the next to say something. "I need protein powder."

"We ran out of cleaning supplies from our last deep cleaning." Minho was the first to bring something other than food up.

After that, everyone else threw out their own needs or something they had run out of.

Chan was expecting this, sort of, and decided to break the list up for each member. Hoping this will help them remember what they needed.

"Alright," he starts, "make sure you only get what you need. Be back before dinner."

Jeongin tilts his head in confusion. "Are you not going shopping with us?"

Chan rubs his neck nervously. "No, I need to stop by the company for something."

"Something?" Hyunjin questions, his eyes narrowing.

"Yes, it has something to do with PC, so I can't say anything. You guys know this."

Han also narrowed his eyes. He didn't forget about the panicked girl, but he didn't want to push Chan or the girl for information. Now he's wondering if this has to do with her.

After dismissing the meeting, everyone dispersed into their own rooms to get dressed and ready. And soon after, everyone but Chan left the dorm.

Chan stood in the empty dorm for a few minutes, looking around to see what needed to be cleaned up. He couldn't deep clean like he wanted to, since Minho pointed out they didn't have cleaning supplies.

He glances at the clock on the wall. I have about an hour to pick things up and tidy. Then I have to go to the company.

The original plan was to have Kiki come to the dorm, but Chan didn't want to risk her being stopped by guards or spotted by reporters. So they had agreed that Kiki would meet Chan at the company to be picked up.

After coming up with a simple enough plan, he set off to start tidying.

Kiki's point of view

Kiki was currently pacing back and forth in her room. She was so nervous. There are so many possibilities that could possibly happen. And now she was working herself up. She's going to end up chickening out.
