NA JAE MIN’s Point of View

  While we were in the living room, waiting for Jeno to come out of Manager-Nim’s office, I still can’t forget what had happened last night. It was really amazing yet very melancholic.

  I didn’t notice that Jeno was already done and was standing in front of me for the incidents were still in my mind.

    “Bab— Jaemin-ah.” He called which made me look at him.

  Wait, was he going to call me Baby?

  “It’s your turn.” He told me again as I am still looking at him.

  His eyes, they were very swollen. May be he also cried.

  I looked away and look for the card inside my bag. I still can feel that Jeno was standing in front of me the reason why I hurriedly gets the card and stood up.

  I was about to leave when he held my arms. I turned to looked at him and I can see that he’s very worried.

  “Are you okay?” He asked which made my heart ache.

  No, not now, Jeno. I might just kneel on my knees and cry in front of everyone if you continue doing this.

  I just smiled at him and gently removes his hand in my arm. I just shook my head and left him there.

  I am very sorry but we can’t do those things anymore.

  As I enter Manager-Nim’s office, I have noticed the covered walls but ignored it for my intention here is to talk with Manager.

  I closed and locked the door and seated on the chair right in front of Manager-Nim.

  “Why are you so quiet, Jaemin-ah?” Manager-Nim asked as I was just watching him fixing the setting the camera. Wait, what? C-Camera?

  “M-Manager-Nim, what are we going to have?” I asked as I was startled.

  “Answer my question, first before I answer yours.” He said.

  I looked away and my tears were like betraying me.

  “N-Nothing, Manager-Nim.” I answered while stuttering. Sh*t, my voice and tears.

  “Is that so? Okay, wait for a second. I will just set this camera.” He said.

  I just shook my head and tries to hold back my tears.

  “It’s fixed now. Are you ready, Jaemin-ah?” Manager-Nim said as soon as he finished setting and fixing the camera.

  “So, what is the camera’s purpose, Manager-Nim?” I asked as I looked at him.

  “You are going to hand me the card and I am going to read the written texts for you. Your response will be recorded.” Manager-Nim said as he starts the camera.

  I didn’t speak anymore. I just handed the card to Manager-Nim and he smiled as he was being able to read the written text.

  I am curious about the written text. May be this is an interview for our next album or what.

  “You got one question and the second one is a statement. I want you to answer these seriously.” Manager-Nim said.

  I nodded as a response and just looking at him.
