Waxing & Waning: Two MoonsPRE-DEBUT
It isn’t the most positive first impression.
Junmyeon is leading him down the hall in SM’s building to meet the others. Jongin's in a crummy mood today, his ego slightly bruised to hear that 2 of his new group’s members had minimal time as trainees compared to his almost 5 years of waiting for this moment. ‘What do they have now that I didn’t have 2 years ago, 3 years ago even?’ he snarls internally, thoughts blazing in jealous fire in his mind.
