* Meeting Seventeen *

   (This scenario was requested by ashieeleyyy_ Thank you for the request! I hope you'll enjoy it)!

   "Hey do you wanna stop by Pledis Entertainment with me?" Robert, Leela's older brother asked. "Didn't you leave Pledis a few years ago?" Leela asked. When Leela first visited Korea back in 2013 when she was 9, her older brother was working as a staff member at Pledis. He brought her to the company and that was when she first met Samuel when he was a trainee there. Robert had left in 2015 to start working at JYP Entertainment. "Yeah I did but I'm gonna visit there and say hello to old coworkers. Do you wanna come?" Robert asked. "Sure I'll go." Leela said. "Good. Let's go!" Robert said. They both got to Robert's car and made their way to Pledis Entertainment.

   Leela was a bit nervous. She hasn't been to Pledis Entertainment in 6 years. She stopped visiting after Samuel left, since he was her only friend when she visited. She didn't talk to anyone else since she was shy. As Leela was busy looking out the window and daydreaming, the car suddenly stopped. "Are we here already?" Leela asked. "Yeah we are. Let's go." Robert said getting out the car. Leela got out and they made their way inside. After a bit of walking around, Robert knocked on a door and opened it. "What's up guys?" Robert yelled. A bunch of commotion was heard inside the room from Robert's former coworkers. Leela stood outside twiddling her fingers. Robert looked behind him and brought Leela inside.

   "Do you guys remember my little sister Leela? She was very young when she used to visit." Robert asked putting Leela to stand in front of him. "Oh my God I remember her! She was so small back then! Look at her now! How old are you Leela?" One coworker asked. "I'm 15." Leela answered in a quiet voice. "Wow you got so big!" The coworker exclaimed. "Sorry about her. She's a little shy." Robert said. "No worries. How come you didn't train under us? We would've loved to have you!" Another coworker said. Leela looked up. "Why would I want to be under a company who can't even manage their girl groups correctly? I made that mistake once in my life." Leela thought to herself.

   "I just didn't want to." Leela answered. "You debuted right?" Another coworker asked. Leela nodded happily. "I debuted in Stray Kids!" Leela said excitedly. "Ah that rookie group under JYP! That's JYP's first ever coed group." Another coworker said. They talked for a bit more before Robert and Leela left to look around a bit more. "Hey. Do you wanna meet Seventeen?" Robert asked. Leela stopped walking and looked at Robert. "You know them?" Leela asked. "Yeah. I worked with them throughout my time here. I left two months after they debuted." Robert answered. Leela nodded. "So do you want to or not?" Robert asked again. "Sure." Leela said. They walked over to Seventeen's practice room. Robert knocked on the door and opened it.

   "I hope you guys remember me." Robert said walking in. A lot of commotion was heard once again. Leela giggled a bit. Robert motioned for Leela to come in. Leela was a bit scared since she's only seen the members of Seventeen a couple of times but never really spoke to them. Leela nodded and walked in. "I don't know if you guys remember but back when all of you were trainees, I would bring this girl here to visit. This is my sister Leela." Robert said. "No wonder she looked familiar! I remember her!" Seungkwan exclaimed. "Oh I see her a lot during music shows! She grew up big time!" S.Coups said. Leela bowed respectfully. "Hi! My name is Leela. Nice to meet you all!" Leela said politely. "Why are you speaking formally?" Robert asked. "Because I'm not rude like you." Leela said, resulting in all 13 members to laugh.

   "That was a good one!" Vernon exclaimed rushing over to Leela, giving her a high five. "Wait I don't mean to be rude but how tall are you?" Dino asked. "I'm 4'11." Leela answered. "Oh shit Jihoon hyung you're finally taller than someone!" Dino exclaimed, pointing at the shorter member, Woozi. Dino ran away as Woozi chased him, shouting how he was gonna kill him. Leela giggled and shook her head. "Ok so I'm gonna hang out with my former coworkers. You good to hang out with these boys?" Robert asked. Leela nodded. "Ok. I'll see you guys later." Robert said leaving. The members of Seventeen and Leela sat on the floor of the practice room and began talking.
