We can't

Jackson was currently held in an interview surrounded by fans and the boys who he called brothers, it was dragging a bit; some questions being repeated; fans however were forced to notice that he wasn't as chatty as he usually was, the change in his character seeming foreign as his members tried to engage him with the interview. He just wasn't feeling today. And the one thing...or person who could offer peace to his restless heart was out of reach. He forced himself to concentrate on what was happening trying to engross himself in his passion for music and the people that contributed to getting him to where he was. The host noticing his distant mind chose the next question tactfully "So in a recent Red Velvet interview, the girls expressed that you all have a very tight friendship and bond. They had people in tears at their comments about you guys, high praise indeed is there anything you guys would like to say..." they nodded signalling the interviewer to carry on with what he planned. "Okay so I'll say a name of one of the members and you guys can say whatever..." "Sure." Bambam replied, relieved that Jackson's attention had refocused on the segment. "Yeri." Bambam instantly chipped in. "Amazing, she's beautiful, talented, hardworking-" Mark cut in "before Bam uses every adjective there is I think we should chip in. Yeri is like a baby sister to the rest of us, she's the one that we feel responsible for. We Love her." The other guys nodded in agreement. The host then spoke the next name. "Joy." JB was quick to answer complementing her beauty and voice and saying that the pure ness in her heart was beautiful. The boys agreed deeming her as the other younger sister. The host then questioned about Suelgi, Jinyoung smiling and blushing answered which caused fans to awwww at the sweet, innocent declaration, the others deeming that they felt the need to protect her in a brotherly way same as the others. Next was Wendy. Mark looked at the camera with a love sick look as words he had not comprehended fell from his mouth. Jackson jokingly placed a hand over his mouth saying your going to expose yourself. Laughter rang out at the boys defined Wendy in their own way the others again saying they treated her like a sister. "Okay so last but not least...the leader. Irene." The boys rushed to answer cutting Jackson off Mark answering, "He's gonna take awhile so we will go first. Irene is like my soul sister, maybe it because of the age but we get along so well and the banter we share in unreal...I genuinely hand on heart love her and she's like the sister I've always wished for." The other guys agreed each saying what they wanted. Bambam spoke "She's my best friend slash sister, she's accepting of everything and doesn't judge." Jinyoung continued "she's what keeps me sane around these idiots, as she is in a similar situation with the girls so we connect over that. I can talk to her about everything and anything and that's rare to find." Youngjae continued, "We always feel her presence, it's warming. She puts a smile on your face and she does it effortlessly, her heart is the biggest." Yugeom the last one finishing off, "She takes good care of us like a true sister would, she cooks amazing food as well. We all love her and we all feel very protective of her."

Jackson felt a smile pull on his face as he looked at the fans and host immersing himself in the way his boys said regarding her before starting himself. "I think we all know how stunning she is...she's gorgeous, but what lies underneath that is even more beautiful. Her heart is the purest I've ever seen in my life, she is willing to extent her warmth and hospitality to any one, she has this captivating aura that holds you and she doesn't let anyone go through anything alone. She's an amazing singer and songwriter, her music holding a moral and story that we can apply in our lives. Her laughter and smile are a totally different thing, she captures you with that, even during hard times that smile will never falter, she's what I would describe as a warrior. Media and fans label her as an ice queen and whilst she can be...there's a reason as to why, her responsibility is greater, it's the one thing I don't like about her, but I understand she has that facade to protect those around her, she thinks of her pain secondary to everyone else, she's the type of girl who would be breaking down but will do everything in her power to not let it show if it means that her girls and surrounding team are okay. She never wants to be a let down and I love that about her, her nature to care and protect the ones that she loves is something unique and iconic because I feel like In this day and age we have lost that, and in this industry we have a responsibility to look out for each other and she does that regardless of what company your from, everyone I have come across holds her in high regard and she's earnt that. She brings a smile to my face, I've had her in my life and I've also not had her in my life and I can honestly tell you that there is a difference, and I'm glad she found her way back to me." Fans sat there stunned. The host sat there stunned. The boys sat there stunned. Jackson rubbed his hand against his neck, nervously laughing. "Was that too much?" Everyone laughed at his sheepish grin as he winked at the camera, the host looking at him, "So could you explain why she was wearing your hoodie?" The boys knowing this was there chance to take the piss they turned to him saying "Yes Jackson do tell..." Jackson hit Mark who was closest to him, as he looked at the host. "I thought she told you guys she's part of the team Wang family." Shocked gasps and laughs broke out as he leaned forward letting out a strangled laugh, "She's gonna kill me." Fans laughed as the host began, "that doesn't clear it up Jackson..." He looked at the host. "She's already told you guys in the interview." "Yeah but we want your account." Jackson sighed loudly looking at the host. "So the girls came over for a hangout, to just chill and get to know each other a bit better, and then she was volunteered to cool by her girls and so once we had finished I helped her wash up whilst these guys were in the living room, and I made her laugh about something and she was in the middle of taking out the seaweed soup she had made and because I was distracting her, she ended up dropping like half of it on her...and so I gave her my hoodie." Fans were squealing in delight at the little story, as Jackson looked to the floor. The host was in the process of wrapping up the interview as Jackson turned to the camera "Irene, welcome to the team Wang family." He said winking at the screen as the fans screaming got notably louder. The host who looked like he was about to have a heart attack and quickly ended the interview.
