Chapter 84

After waiting quietly, the emergency exit's door opened shortly after and the CEO walked out.

Kim Eden got up from his seat, smelling the faint smell of cigarettes mixed with the fabric deodorizer.

“! Hello, CEO!”

“Hmm? Eden, what’s going on?”

“You called Yoo-hyun hyung, so I’m waiting for him.”

“Ah.”

Putting his hand on the doorknob of the CEO’s office, the CEO asked.

“Yoo-hyun ssi is inside right now, do you want to come in with me?”

Eden shook his head.

“No, I’ll just wait here.”

“It looks uncomfortable… Okay, then. Thank you for your hard work.”

“Yes.”

The CEO opened the door and went in, patting Eden on the back as if encouraging him.

Through the crack in the open door, he could see Yoo-hyun’s back sitting on the sofa, but the door closed again right away.

‘It’ll probably take a while since he came in after smoking a cigarette.’

After sitting back down and scrolling through social media for about 30 minutes, the door to the CEO's office opened.

"! Hyung!"

Eden straightened up.

Yoohyun looked at Eden strangely and said.

"? What are you doing here?"

"I waited for you, hyung. What did the CEO say?"

"He just asked if I was doing well."

"That's it?"

"...yeah. What else could there be?"

Yoohyun snickered and walked down the hallway.

But his face was covered in fatigue.

He already had a hard time with his schedule and practice.

With all the annoying things happening one after another, it was strange that he couldn't sleep properly.

"Are the kids in the practice room?"

"Yes, but hyung. We're going home for today. It's almost 12 o'clock anyway."

Yoohyun narrowed his eyes and looked at Eden silently.

"...? Why? Is there something on my face?"

Yoohyun shook his head despite Eden's words and headed to the practice room.

"No matter what, you have to get enough sleep, right? What's the point of being banned from practicing all night? You'll end up practicing at dawn."

Eden followed behind Yoohyun and nagged him earnestly.

The practice room they arrived at was filled with silence without any music.

The members greeted Yoohyun with awkward smiles.

"It took longer than I thought."

"We're leaving work now, hyung! I'll call Wonjun hyung~"

Sehyun said, picking up his phone. But Yoo-hyun calmly stretched out his body.

"I have to practice more."

"Huh?"

Before the members could retort, Yoo-hyun continued.
