THE MIXNINE HOUSEㅣtop 9 boys

❝ my bad. ❝

"ARE you trying to kill me?!?!" rubin shrieked, on my second to last stop of picking up the boys. "i was waiting for hours--in the cold!!!"

i rolled my eyes. "well sorry your highness, i have a life outside of being a nanny."

"you're not our nanny!" hyunsuk said.

"really? because it feels like i'm babysitting you all instead of housekeeping." i said and rolled my eyes. "now, time to go home."

"you have to pick up jinyoung."

"what kind of nanny forgets a kid?"

"ugh." i sighed. "i can't catch a break for a second."

jinyoung silently got into the car, shutting the door. i drove off back to the house, completely silent.

i kept remembering what youngmin had told me.

"ever thought he's ignoring you because you said it was nothing?"

why would jinyoung ignore because i said that anyways? unless he liked me.

does he?

"where were you anyways?" byunggon asked.

i snapped out of my thoughts and saw jinyoung's head snap up in the corner of my eye.

"visiting family and a...friend." i said.

rubin gasped dramatically. "you...you have friends?!"

"i hate you camel." i said. "and yes i have friends. or one."

"probably only one." hangyeom whispered to the person beside him.

"i hate you all." i mumbled grumpily.

that afternoon, i was called down to the yg building again. i assumed it was for something that had to do with the boys' manager ghosting on them.

but instead of just telling me on the spot, they led me to a room, and we sat down like professional people. even though i was obviously out of place being a babysitter--

"so, we've been having to go to you in replacement for the top 9's manager being inconsistent."

i nodded.

"we raised your pay as well for this. you're basically their manager now. but we have one last major favor to ask of you. you will be paid extra for this, as well."

extra pay? bitch i'm listening.

"you'll have to travel and act as a manager for one of the members, because he has an important interview and a few other activities in china that would help promote him well."

china?? i nodded. "okay...who is it?"

"jinyoung."

my eyes bulged wide open. "h-him??"

"do you two have a problem?"
