Our Old Manager.

Trauma.

Nearly seven days have passed since the incident. Being unable to visit Y/N while the police were still investigating and barring anyone from getting close to the victim first was killing everyone. Since Y/N's phone was broken, nobody could reach her either. The girl group continued to follow their schedule. They weren't called in for a meeting by the higher-ups, so perhaps they were safe for now.

"Girls!" Jisoo cheered after reading a text from Nayeon. "We can go see Y/N!" The girl group cheered. "Right now?" Jennie asked. Jisoo shrugged before deciding to call Kwangjoo to see what the plans were. 

"So, I heard Nayeon told the four of you that Y/N-" He didn't get to finish his sentence by screams of excitement coming from the other line. 

"Can we see her? When can we see her?" Jennie asked two questions. 

It was silence from him. The girl group gave some looks to one another before Rosé figured out first why the man went silent. 

"Can we not see her?" She asked that.

"You can girls but how about the public?" He hates being that person but there are rules. Everyone still has to do their jobs. 

"Jennie eonnie can go alone. She can call us when she's with Y/N eonnie." Lisa offered out of nowhere.

"What? I know that Y/N eonnie would like to see all of us." Jennie disagreed. 

"We'll cover up?" Rosé suggested. 

"We're in Seoul. People who see other people who covered themselves up are automatically celebrities to them." Jisoo pointed it out. "Let's follow what Lisa said."  Rosé eventually nodded too. 

"What? No. I am not doing that." Jennie gave one look to her members for saying such a thing. 

"Jen, what are you doing?" Jisoo asked. 

"What am I doing? Are the three of you hearing yourselves?" Jennie questioned. 

"Y/N wants you," Jisoo mentioned the obvious. 

"That's not what I'm talking about." Jennie chuckled. "Listen, oppa. We want to see Y/N eonnie. Can you make it happen?" Jennie said to the phone. 

"I'll try. Will text if I know anything" Kwangjoo ended the call first. 

"Why are the three of you pretending you don't want to see her physically?" Jennie frowned. "We do, eonnie," Lisa confessed. "Let's all go. We are missing her. We'd like to know how she's feeling." Jennie stated what everyone was thinking. "Why are you pretending that you don't want to see her by yourself?" Lisa responded with a challenge. "Please, Lisa. No, not right now." Jisoo issued a warning. Another phone call arrived. They gathered around Jisoo's phone when they saw the name Nayeon on the screen. 

"You girls can go see Y/N," Nayeon said again. "But," the girl group exchanged glances when they realised bad news was on the way. "First, let her friends and family see her. You're not the only one who misses her. You're not the only ones who want to see her." Nayeon needed to be firm. "Right," mumbled Jennie. "We didn't think about them." Everyone sighed with disappointment. "I double-checked the schedule. It appears that Monday afternoon is the only time when all of you are available," Nayeon explained. "Is that alright?"

"We can wait two more days," Jisoo said and the younger girls nodded. 

Just like that. Two days have passed. 

The four of them, along with all of the managers, went to see Y/N. The girl group had no choice but to hide their true identity. They decided to wear caps and masks. Jisoo and Jennie also decided to wear sunglasses. "Is she expecting us?" Jennie inquired as soon as she could see the hospital ahead. "I believe so. I told Jihyo to tell her that we're coming today," Nayeon said, mentioning the name of their other best friend who got to see Y/N first. After parking his van, Kwangjoo helped the girls out of the van.
