Jung Siwoo, who had been watching seven men crammed into the tiny room, spoke up.
“…Let’s go to the living room.”
“Okay.”
In the awkward silence, the members stood up one by one and left the room. I saw Seo Taehyun, who was the last one left, mouth the words, “What do we do?” to me.
“What do you mean ‘what do we do?’ We’re just going to talk together.”
“Talk about Eunchan in front of Eunchan?”
“Yeah. It’s not like we can ask Eunchan to step out of the room so we can talk about him, especially now that he already knows everything.”
“That’s true, but…”
I followed Jung Siwoo and looked at Joo Eunchan, who was sitting upright on one side of the living room sofa.
He did look a little more tired than usual, but…
“Don’t worry. He’s not that fragile.”
After patting Seo Taehyun on the shoulder, we headed to the living room where the members had gathered.
Yoo Geon, who was still half-asleep from exhaustion, was tapping a toy squeaky hammer on the living room table—wherever he had gotten it from.
“Meeting starts now.”
And so, the second emergency meeting of Kairos began.
* * *
“But what kind of meeting is this?”
Lee Doha, who had been silent the whole time, raised his hand and asked. Yoo Geon, who was holding the squeaky hammer, also looked at us with a curious expression, as if he hadn’t heard the details either.
Jung Siwoo responded by showing them the problematic post that had been uploaded to the community earlier. Then he looked up and asked Joo Eunchan.
“Eunchan, did something happen at the fansign?”
“……”
“You said you didn’t notice anything strange during the fansign, but you felt bad after reading this post in the car.”
Joo Eunchan lowered his gaze and pressed his lips together.
Normally, I would have patiently waited for him to gather his thoughts and speak, but we didn’t have time for that today.
Even if I jumped straight into bed and passed out right now, I’d barely get five hours of sleep.
To make Joo Eunchan open his mouth, I decided to use a slightly dirty trick.
“I heard you cried, Eunchan.”
“……!”
At my blatant provocation, both Seo Taehyun and Yoo Geon looked at me with faces that said, “Is this guy crazy?” Just like they did when I threw a bomb at them during that live broadcast with the grandparents. Yoo Geon looked like he was about to fold me up again, so I quickly hid behind Lee Doha.
Even as I hid, I threw one last punch at Joo Eunchan, who was looking at me in disbelief.
“You’re still just a kid. If you cry over one bad review.”
“…That’s not it!”
“Then what is it?”
“This…!”
Okay, got him.
When I made a smug expression from behind Lee Doha, Joo Eunchan, now fuming, finally opened his mouth.
