Living With Seventeen

JI EUN

"You guys did great!" Seungcheol said as he embraced both Hoshi and I like a proud leader.

"Thank you." We both mumble in reply.

I sigh and grab a water bottle from the snack table. "Tired? You were sitting the whole time, jeez." Someone said from behind me.

I turn around to meet a girl who looked around the same age as I.

"Excuse me? I had to sing, that's tiring and hard enough." I snap back.

The girl rolled her eyes and walked away, passing by Seungcheol and winking as he frowned and walked faster towards me.

"Who's she exactly?" I asked.

"She was our hairstylist. CEO heard her threatening Hoshi to date her or she'd make us all go bald. Fired her afterwards." He chuckled.

I snorted and went to the changing room to change back into baggier clothing.

Wearing a dress and trying to sing is not comfortable at all. Not even in a stretchy one.

"Ji-ssi? Where are you?" I heard DK yell from outside the door.

"Changing!"

DK coughed and had probably walked away, as I heard footsteps fading.

That was weird.

I finished changing and sat down on a chair to remove all my makeup.

"But manager-nim, you can't simply take her back after you fire her!" Someone yelled from behind the door.

"She's the least of your problems. As long as she's your hairstylist and makeup artist, she's a staff member. CEO suggests you respect all staff members. Tell Ji-Eun we've hired someone already." Another fired back.

Suddenly, the door burst open.

"OMMO, why does she need to be back? She's such a huge burden to us!" Seungkwan said as he sat down next to me, breathing heavily.

"Who?" I asked.

The door swung open to reveal the same girl from the snack table.

"Oh, hi Seungkwan... And you. Know where Hoshi is?" She asks, trying to be sweet.

"Her." Seungkwan mumbles. "He left a few minutes ago to get some fresh air." He says louder.

The girl mumbles a thank you and leaves immediately. Both Seungkwan and I sigh in frustration.

"I was actually still changing but thanks." Hoshi says as he comes out of one dressing room.

I smile and giggle. "So I hear she's pretty desperate for you, huh?"

Hoshi shrugged and frowned.

"That's what people tell me, so I guess it's true. I just hope it's not, cause she's crazy."

"So I've heard." Seungkwan and I look down and mumble.

Seungcheol

It is now the time we head back to the hotel and are currently on the bus.

Surprise surprise, the old, new hairstylist and makeup artist is tagging along.

"Hoshi oppa, I hear you like the new girl." She says aloud. I roll my eyes so far back I could almost see my brain.

"Yah! First of all, stop touching me," Hoshi starts, wriggling out of her grasp.

"Second, you're older than me!" He continues.

"Call me noon-"

"No. You're staff, and that's that." Hoshi interrupts.

The staff member raises her eyebrows. "So you do like her? I see." She grumbles.

"No! She's just- ugh, you're so hard to be with!" Hoshi ruffles his hair in frustration and sits next to DK.

I sigh and look around the bus to see all the other members, including Ji Eun, fast asleep.

"Noona? I thought she was 17..." Ji Eun whispers from beside me.

"Oh you're awake?"

Ji Eun

"Yep. Heard everything." I say, my heart cracking a little.

"Hmm well, yeah. She's older than I am, I guess her makeup makes her look younger?" Seungcheol suggests.

I nod and look out the window.

I guess maybe this wasn't the right time to become a trainee.
