Jaekyung POV
"No, Seungmin. You start with your left foot on that move. It's why you're spinning the opposite direction from the other two on that count." I correct as I turn back to face the boys that I'm practicing with. I watch as the young boy pouts, grumbling under his breath as he nods. I just smirk a little at the sight of his frustration, knowing he tries hard with these dances.
"Alright. Are we ready to try it from the top?" I ask, looking over the nine boys in front of me. Though, before I can turn around to start them from the beginning, the door to the practice room opens up to reveal my manager entering.
"I'm afraid you're going to need to end practice early this evening. I need to speak with you privately, Jae." Daewoo informs me. I frown at this but nod, motioning to the boys that we're all finished here.
Quickly grabbing my bag and jacket, I jog over to my manager so that he can lead me to wherever it is he feels necessary to talk. Though, I'm surprised when he leads us to the conference room near his office rather than going straight to his office.
Entering into the room, I'm completely baffled to find a familiar boy and what I can only guess is his manager sat together on one side of the table. Daewoo sits down on the opposite side of them, sitting across from the other manager while I take the seat across from the boy who I'm fairly sure is only a couple years older than myself.
"Jae, this is Min Yoongi and BTS's manager, Sejin." Daewoo introduces, motioning to the two men in front of us. I merely nod at this, looking between the three of them to try and figure what exactly is going on. I've already picked up on the sense of Yoongi being apprehensive and somewhat nervous here, Sejin seeming tired and frustrated himself. It doesn't help me at all though, in figuring out what it is that's going on and what exactly it has to do with needing me.
"What can I do for everyone?" I question calmly, finally looking back over to my manager in hopes of figuring out what the hell is going on. Daewoo merely motions for Sejin to speak though, and I can feel myself slowly beginning to grow frustrated.
"My understanding is that you've met BTS before, correct? Even if just briefly?" Sejin asks first, quirking an eyebrow at me. Glancing over towards Yoongi with a small frown, I tilt my head to the side in confusion but nod my head all the same.
"Good. Jaekyung, I've done some research on you, hopefully to which you don't mind." Sejin informs me, giving me a look that says he knows just what all it is that I can handle. It's my turn to quirk my eyebrow, wondering just how much deep diving he did to get information on me and just how much he actually knows about me.
"Not at all, Sejin. What is it that you're looking for from me? I assume it's nothing personal considering we are in this setting to discuss work." I counter casually, leaning back in my chair while clasping my hands together on my lap. I can see Yoongi glancing between his manager and myself at this, seeming still mildly frightened but now confused as well.
"I have a big favor to ask of you, though it's also time consuming which is why I needed the four of us to meet together. I understand you've got quite the time commitment made with your work considering all that you do for this company, but I'm hoping you'll have the time to help me out as well. I'm afraid BTS has fallen apart quite a bit by this point. Unfortunately, things got out of hand faster than what I could grasp, and there's a reason Yoongi is the only one here with me today." Sejin explains briefly with a small sigh. I hum softly at this, nodding silently in thought.
"What exactly are you looking for me to do?" I ask, pursing my lips as I try to get to the bottom of all of this. Sejin opens his mouth before shutting it again, letting out a small sigh as he runs a hand through his hair.
"We were hoping you'd be willing to help me get my bandmates back. We hit a rough patch a few months ago and everything went to shit. Now everyone but me is locked up in some place or another because of the problems that they developed. We were hoping you'd be able to get them out of wherever the hell they've been locked up in and that you'd be willing to help nurse them back to proper health and mentality in a way, if you've got the time and think you could do it of course." Yoongi finally cuts in, seeming to have grown tired of the constant back and forth from the hesitancy from his manager.
"I'll need more information than that on what's happened, but it certainly doesn't sound like anything I can't handle." I respond with a small smile for the boy. I can see the relief written in his eyes at this, a small grateful smile tugging at his lips.
"Jae, before you start making agreements, let's not forget that this isn't a time where you can just take a break from work completely. We're just getting back into comeback season and while I can give you a little bit of leeway, I still need you getting work done for me." Daewoo cuts in, a small frown on his face as he looks back over to me. I roll my eyes at this though, already knowing that I wasn't getting out of work.
"Enough time and money, and anything is possible, Daewoo. Give me the right timeframe for everyone and I'll make sure to have it done. The better question is what exactly I'm going to be up against and what I'll have available to me." I speak, keeping my gaze on Sejin. Though, when Yoongi decides to pipe up next, I'm quick to avert my gaze in his direction.
"If you're talking about what you'll have available to you in terms of still being able to do work, our dorm building-"
"I'm willing to get a better place that'll offer what you need in order to help all of them and stay on top of your work. I wouldn't have come here if I weren't desperate to get this fixed. This issue isn't just hurting the company financially, but it's hurting the staff to see and know the boys that they've nearly raised to be stuck on the paths that they're currently on." Sejin says, cutting Yoongi off easily.
Sighing softly to myself, I check my watch before standing.
"Send me over information on what exactly happened, on what's brought each individual member down and where they're currently being locked up. I'll get back to you after that with a list of things that the place you choose to purchase for us needs to have. If you don't sit on this or anything that I give you, we should be able to get moving on this by the end of the week." I instruct before exiting the room, knowing I don't have the time to sit here and go back and forth with them on every little tiny detail.
