28 | You're Dead

"Bang! You're Dead and just like that all my effort to keep you alive is put to waste" Eunji said rolling her eyes watching the member relax his shoulders and sigh looking down at his feet.

Eunji flipped the safety on her weapon and slid it back into its rightful place taking slow steps until she stood beside Jaehyun.

"What are you doing here Jae? You're on in 3 minutes" Eunji said placing her hands on the rail that was trailing the edge of the roof.

"Nothing" Jaehyun said not bothering to look back up, Eunji relaxed back into her feet hearing Sunwoo over her ear piece saying how they have another 10 minutes because not all of the fans are inside yet due to ID and bag checks.

The silence was deafening and Eunji couldn't lie, she felt extremely uncomfortable, she glanced up at Jaehyun seeing how his eyes were closed and she looked away, shit this is awkward, she thought to herself.

"I'm sorry"

Eunji raised an eyebrow, after a minute of silence, that's all he could muster, wow real sincere, Eunji hummed in response, digging her foot into gravel, Eunji nodded about to reply but stopped, oh he wasn't done yet.

"I'm really sorry, I overreacted and I know the whole 'jealous' thing isn't exactly a good reason, but it's part of a good reason, I'm sorry I'm not actually in love with you like Doyoung said"Jaehyun spoke making Eunji crease her eyebrows, she looked to her side seeing how Jaehyun relaxed on the ledge and leaned forwards on his arms.

"So before we had that asshole of a manager we had another one, she was young, married and she also felt like she had a connection with one of the members" Jaehyun said making Eunji raise her eyes.

"We've already gone over this Jae, I'm not here for that and I'm not like that" Eunji huffed tolling her eyes, Jaehyun smiled slightly and looked at his manager/bodyguard.

"i know that..... now, anyway she felt like she had some sort of deep connection with one of the members, and became quiet obsessive, she would very often neglect her duties as a manager and find ways to always be beside said member, got to a point where we didn't even go to concerts and rehearsals because she was afraid that the member would have to interact with other girls, she was really something" Jaehyun said looking up, Eunji furrowed her eyebrows, was this member him?

"Anyway it ended because I had written up a letter and they had found her guilty for all the things I wrote in it and what makes it even more fucked up was she was actually in her late thirties and had children the same age as us" Jaehyun cringed remembering those story, Eunji nodded listening to Sunwoo saying they have five minutes left.

"So you were testing me? ~ Jaehyun nodded his head ~ Well I hope you've learnt that I'm not a cradle snatcher and I'm also not like her, So Jaehyun go down there you're on in 5" Eunji said patting his back, Jaehyun smiled at his manager and then left the rooftop to go down to the dressing room.

'Eunji you did good, nothings going to happen tonight, come down now' Eunji nodded at Sunwoos words and left the rooftop making sure to look the door from the inside.

Eunji had no idea what to think, appalled that he even thought they were the same, proud that he would protect his managers like that or just confused, none of it made sense so she didn't want to push it, so she shrugged it off and hoped she could put it behind her.
