XIFÈNG WAS SITTING ON HER BED, NERVOUSLY PLAYING WITH HER FINGERS
The young girl kept checking the time, if there was one thing she didn't want to do, it was being late to meet her members for the first time, she checked the time one more time before falling in her bed, hiding her face in her hands. Nervousness was filling her body, a minute felt like an hour as Fèng kept asking herself if her future members will like her. Sitting up, the brushed her hair back and then, checked the time once again, but this time, it was actually time to go. She hopped out of her bed grabbing her keys as she walked out of her apartement.
She looked at herself through her phone to make sure she looked presentable before putting it back in her pocket, questions filled her mind and before she knew it, she was in front of the SM building, a nervous sigh escaped her lips, the raven haired teen shook her head before going inside, her hands kept playing with the grey hoodie she was wearing as she walked to the secretary
"Hello, welcome to SM entertainment. How can I help you?" A woman in her 30s said, looking at Xifèng
"I- um... I'm here to see Lee Sooman" Xifèng stuttered putting a piece of hair behind her ear
The nameless woman picked up a black phone on her desk and started talking while the teen awkwardly looked around
"5th floor, last door on the right" The woman said, not looking up for the papers on her desk
"Okay, thank you" Xifèng said, turning around to make her way to the lift. She stepped inside and pressed to button indicating 5th floor and started playing with her fingers once again.
After what felt like an hour, the lift's doors finally opened and Xifèng stepped in the corridor, she followed the woman instructions and walked to the last door on the right. She stared at the door for a couple seconds before gulping and finally opening it, but what she saw was absolutely not what she expected. As she opened the door 7 boys turned in her direction, her face growing more and more red each second as she tried to not show how flustered she was
"I'm sorry! I thought the woman said 5th floor I probably heard wrong -" Xifèng said all the nervousness she kept inside all day siddenly bursting out of her body
"Jiang Xifèng? Sit down in the chair available, you're late." A woman looked at her mentioning to a chair next to hair brown haired boy with her arm.
Xifèng quietly closed the door and made her way next to him, guiving him an awkward smile as she sat down, "what the fuck am I doing here" she thought. The eight of them stayed silent, Xifèng kept looking at her shoes since she arrived here, scared of making an eye contact with one of the boys and having one of those awkward staring contest that usually end up with her wanting to throw herself out of a window. The door suddenly oppened, revealing the one and only, Lee Sooman. He went to talk to the woman that stayed with them during those long five minutes before turning back to them.
"So, I'm going to make this quick. You guys are NCT "chinese sub-unit" so you'll be promoting in china and your will be songs in chinese, but, you're prohibited to mention NCT during lives, variety shows or anything. I can still cut any of you guys of the lineup if I want to." He coldly said looking straight into their eyes "Any questions?" All of them stayed quiet still trying to assimilate everything they've just been told "No? Great. Training starts tomorrow, Areum will bring you to a practice room so you can get to know each other."
Xifèng sank in her chair and sighed in defete as he walked out the room. The new group follow the said Areum through the corridors, one of the boys fell back with Xifèng who was walking alone in the back, staring at her shoes
"So... What's your name?" The tall boy said, trying to start a conversation
"Xifèng." She mumbled as she walked next to him
"Cool, I'm Lu-" He got cut off by Xifèng who still not looking up from the ground said
"I know who you are..." A silence installed itself as Lucas awkwardly looked around "Oh my god I'm sorry that was so weird and creepy to say" She looks up to him realizing how weird it sounded
"No no, it's okay!" He laughed, finally taking a look at the younger's face "So... Are you happy to finally debut?" He looked at her face going back to the emotionless one she had before
"It for sure isn't what I expected..." She said looking back at her feet, "I don't know what to think about it." She sighed before shaking her head
"Well... Mabe it wasn't what you expected but that doesn't mean it'll be bad right?" He sofly hit her shoulder as she looked up to him again with a slight smile
"We'll see..." The raven haired girl said, a chuckle escaping her lips
"Whatever is going to happen, I promise you, I'll make sure you have the greatest time ever while being in this group" Lucas smiled putting his arm around his new bandmate shoulders
"Thanks Lucas" Her smile grew wider as he spoke "I really appreciate it."
"Anything for my new bandmate" He chuckled, winking at the younger girl making her laugh as well
