An hour left before their recording starts and the members were already done with everything except N, who took too long to comeback, he was panting as he entered the waiting room, The make up artist nagged at him for being missing and for ruining his make up, his make up artist was even suprised to see him chew a gum as she knew N wasn't a fan of chewing gums , he quickly changed his clothes and threw the gum on the bin, Ken was eyeing him with everything. It was a good thing their outfits wasn't that complicated to wear, he did a few retouch and he saw leo playing with his phone on the couch by the mirror, he went closer and took the vacant seat beside Leo. He was observing Leo for a minute and then swallowed a lump in his throat before he spoke.

"Hey?" He leaned closer
"Yeah?" Leo said as he was playing with his phone
"What are you doing?" He asked, Leo raised the phone and looked at N, implying that he was playing.
N nodded, and Leo looked back at his phone
Silence followed until N spoke again
"Can you come with me?" he asked
"where?" Still playing with his phone
"The CEO wants to discuss some matters after the recording, I was thinking if you can come with me?" He asked
Leo stopped playing , he looked at N with a confused face "Why?" he asked, N's shoulder became tense as he saw Leo's eyes
"Why?, ah why? to discuss some matters, you know some -" He explained 
"No, why do I need to come with you?" Leo asked
"I wasn't really forcing you, If you can, As I said I was thinking maybe I could ask some of your opinion. a little support you know, can you?" Hakyeon explained
"NO." he went back to his phone
"Please Taekwoon?" Leo looked at N's eyes, and N could see that the other male was searching something in his eyes and he looked away.
It took quite a while for Leo to answer, "Fine! but we won't take long"
"Yeah I promise." he gave a smile and they both looked at the floor director telling them they were on stand by and 10 minutes they'll be on stage.
"We're on. Let's get this recording done" Leo nodded and they both stood up.

    The recording went smooth and they were already done. They ate their lunch in the waiting room and headed to the company, hakyeon told the others to go ahead and practice with out them, because the CEO called for him and Leo. They arrived at the CEO's office and he let them come in, The CEO was suprised to see Leo.

"Taekwoon? Why are you here?" The CEO asked
Leo's lips parted and was about to say something when N spoke first "I asked him to come, I thought maybe we could use some of his opinion" he explained
Leo went quiet, "Really?" The CEO let out a big smile and N felt a  stab in his heart 
"Yeah sure whatever, can we just start now?" Leo asked
"yeah , sure have a seat" 
The atmosphere became different compared to his previous meetings with the CEO alone, It was like the CEO was happy to see Leo.
The CEO sat across them, laid a bunch of paper on the table and looked at Leo." So your japan fan meetings is a week ahead and we'll be finalizing everything" The CEO said
"So have you decided where to stay? the venue? The program?" He added
Leo looked at N and N gave him a smile
"Here's the list" as the CEO handed them a list of hotels to stay, Leo looked at N again " What do you think Taekwoon? Which of these palces is more convenient?"
Leo hesitated and then scanned the list "Here, I think this one could be convenient, the other members wanted to stay here before" Leo Looked at N again "but we can go back to the place you chose before is was comfortable in some ways too" he added
"So?" The CEO asked looked at N raising his eyebrows
"It was just an opinion, we are actually fine with whatever and wherever you pick Hakyeon" Leo said
"Now what hakyeon?" The CEO said. Still looking at N
"I think we'll go with taekwoon's suggestion, I believe it's what the members also wanted" He answered 
"No, wait! I did not say that, It's was just an opinion, What about yours?" Leo raised his vioce
"Calm down taekwoon, Don't worry your suggestion was fine, and besides it's good to try something new" N gave Leo his reassuring smile
Now Leo was pissed off

    The meeting took an hour and a half to end, N didn't say anything that much and he let Leo talk most of the time and their decisions mostly went with Leo's suggestion while their CEO was busy acting like N wasn't even there at all. They were about to leave the office when the CEO requested N to stay for a while. Leo gave him a worried  look but the  he told him he'll be fine and he should go and join the others.

    Hakyeon sat back again and when the CEO made sure Leo was gone, he finally spoke

"So, hakyeon about your enlistment, have you decided anything about it?" The CEO asked
Hakyeon knew he would asked about this
"Yeah, I thought about it and I still coudn't make up my mind" He said in a low tone
"Come on? Until when will you be able to decide?"  
Aren't you too much in hurry to get rid of me, do you
