"Jiyeon is a very sensitive girl with a weak heart. She needs a guy with a strong heart, who can protect her well."- sehun

Author’s POV

“I want everyone to gather now. I’m not in the mood of waiting so be hurry! Right now!”

The manager’s voice filled the whole exo dorm right when he enters the dorm together with baekhyun after fetching him from CCM Building. Baekhyun rolls his eyes seeing manager hyung being mad, because he knows it is because of him. Everyone starts to gather in the living room and take their place.

“Where’s one more person? Who’s not here?” Manager asked angrily.

“It’s Kris… he’s not feeling well and still resting in his room. We will inform him everything later.” Suho replied.

“I don’t care. I want everyone to be here right in front of me. Don’t you get it?! I’m tired handling you guys with this kind of manner!” He nagged.

“I’ll go get him now.” Tao answered and walked into kris’s room.

Baekhyun is eyeing the manager and shows him his cold glare. Baekhyun is a cute guy with his face resembles a cute puppy, but when he is angry, no one would dare looking at his face longer, but the manager seems to ignore baekhyun’s glare. A few minutes later, tao came out together with kris who looks so pale and weak.

“Everyone is here right? Aish why do I have to hold a meeting with you guys all the time just to tell the same thing? Don’t you guys get what I’ve told you for so many times? Watch your attitude, follow our command, do what we want you do, as simple as that. But why can’t you do it?! Someone tell me why right now!” He scolded.

“Why you have to be this mad? You don’t have to make it big and scold all the members when it’s only my fault, obviously only me. They all behave well and do whatever you want them to do, even when you asked to choose between career and love. So just scold me okay?” Baekhyun replied while eyeing sehun.

“Yah Byun Baekhyun… you… why you never get yourself together and think again. You won’t be here if not because of us. You caused a great trouble to us with your crazy attitude and all. Ahh I’m going crazy. Now because of you, everyone will receive the punishment. Why do I have to keep a guy like you, it’s tiring.” The manager dissed.

“So just throw me away then! So you don’t have to keep a guy like me anymore. Easy right? Just don’t involve other members in my problem. You only got problem with me right? So just let me go and everything is over.” Baekhyun bravely said.

“Oh yeah… why did I never think about this? I think you’re right.” The manager seems to think about the idea of baekhyun quitting the group.

“No! Without baekhyun, I will leave too.” Chen suddenly stood up.

“Me too. Exo is nothing if even a member is leaving. As a leader, I won’t let exo lose even a member. Don’t you ever think about it hyung, because I won’t stay silent anymore.” Suho finally voiced out.

“Yah… now you guys dare to argue me? Learn from baekhyun huh? I know it, he gives you bad example. I’m going crazy, taking care of you guys are tiring and burdensome. All of you go to hell!” He shouted.

“You’re the one who should go to hell. You keep threatening my friends and make them follow everything you said. If it’s tiring, stop taking care of us because we can do it ourselves. We don’t need you, because you only bring harm than benefit.” Baekhyun dissed angrily.

“What your words guys, because you don’t know what I can do to you in a blink of eyes. You think you got a huge amount of fans so you can do anything? Wait until each of them start to defect and leave you guys. I’m asking you for the last time, do you want exo to disband, and destroy everything you guys have achieved with so much hardship?” He smirked.

“You keep threatening us you crazy…” Baekhyun annoyed.

“Baek no… please calm down. I will settle this down, just calm down.” Suho stopped baekhyun.

“Well, what’s your choice? Let me know now.” The manager ironically said.

“Give us one more chance, and keep being together. We will stay together as exo. But one simple request, please treat us more lightly, as simple as that so we will follow all your command.” Suho talked wisely.

“If that so… okay. So I think till here, use your last chance well guys, because I will surely destroy EXO if something happens again.” He said and stood up from his place.

All the members then start to disappear into their room one by one, probably taking a rest after hearing such an annoying nags from the manager. Tao and chanyeol are helping sick kris to go back into his room while DO and xiumin head to the kitchen to prepare their dinner. Baekhyun who is walking into his room, suddenly hears manager’s voice, calling for someone.

“Sehun, come out with me for a while. I want you to do something.”

Baekhyun saw sehun nods weakly and follows the manager outside. The troublemaker baekhyun then slowly walks approaching the door and sneakily hide behind and eavesdropping the conversation between sehun and manager.

“What about you and park jiyeon? Did you break up with her?”

“N-no. Not yet…”

“Aish this guy! Do it now, in front of me.”

“W-what? Now?”

“Of course, I want to hear it from your mouth myself. I don’t want you to have any connection with her anymore and make sure that she will completely disappear from your life. If not because of baekhyun, that guy really is a problem, because if he didn’t barge into the conference room and stopped the contract termination, we can get rid of jiyeon forever. What a waste…”

“No hyung… It’s her career… I will do anything including ditch her away, I even choose my career over her, so everything is done so please don’t bother her anymore. I promise I will leave her forever. I will do it now in front of you.”

“I know, I know you will do what you have said sehun, but not baekhyun. I know he won’t easily settle down with this problem. I will handle him, now call jiyeon.”

Sehun take out his phone and clumsily dialing the number, and he brings the phone closer to his ear with his trembling hands, waiting for the answer from jiyeon. Within a few seconds, he suddenl
