ELENA SPRINTED DOWN THE BUSY CORRIDOR WITH A STRESSED LOOK ON HER FACE. She was supposed to be at an important meeting with her crew, discussing her current state and other future upcomings in her career, but she slept over, again. Her recent comeback has been filling up her whole schedule and she didn't have any free time whatsoever, which made the female soloist frustrated at the fact that she couldn't even take small rests in between her performances, and it has become a problem.
She brushed past Jimin, who was walking towards her, looking at her with worried eyes. Jerking off his hand away from her shoulder, she muttered a quick sorry before bolting to the meeting room. "You're late, El!" Jimin exclaims from the other side of the hall, completely unbothered by her greeting.
Elena panted, holding her knees for support as she slowly turned her head to him, giving him a look, "You don't say." she replies in a dry tone, fixing her posture. An annoyed groan escaped her mouth, a headache beginning to form.
Jeni let out a tired sigh, leaning back against the chair while waiting for the Persian-Korean. "Where is she?" she mumbled under her breath. She yawned and stretched her arms in front of her. Jaehyun flinched at her knuckles cracking and brought his hand up to her arms, pulling them down on the table.
"You tell me, you're the one taking care of her." Jinsol droned, pressing his lips together and giving her friend a bored expression. Tapping his foot, he brought a hand to his face, making tsk sounds, "Why is she so late?" he voiced his thoughts out loud, a frown resting on his face.
The door clicks as it opens and once again as it shuts. There's a soft patter as Elena steps into the room, her footsteps so light. The trio glanced at each other, watching the female with disappointment plastered on their faces. She took off her mask along with her bag, putting it in a corner beside the door before taking a seat next to Jeni, letting her head droop lazily.
Jaehyun checks the clock, clearing his throat, "Care to explain why you're almost an hour late, again?" he leered, crossing his arms in front of his chest. A crimson painted her rosy cheeks and shook her head, "I-I'm sorry, I was sleeping and didn't hear the alarm-"
"This has been the third time, Elaheh! You've missed one of your important meetings lately, you can't keep doing this!" Jaehyun cut her off, his voice becoming louder. Elena flinched, closing her eyes and rubbing her temples, the headache still lingering.
"I-I, um, I'm s-sorry?" she stuttered out, completely speechless. Guilt started to wash over her, making her stomach twist as she listened to Jaehyun and Jeni's scolding. She let her thoughts take over, her mind wandering, making her forget that she's in the room, allowing her brain to take over.
