Jun watched on in shock once he recognised the skinny kid in the middle of the room. He was skinnier, his hair longer, his face had lost it’s glow. His eyes that once sparkled with amusement and a love of life were dull and sunken. But it was definitely him. He could never forget the face of that mysterious boy that turned up in the park and danced with him on a warm night six months ago.
Jun wondered what had happened to him to make him a shell of his former self. The boy he met was wild and joyful, cocky even, b with confidence and ability. This boy couldn’t lift his eyes off the floor. But he still moved in that mesmerising way and when Jun heard him sing he knew it. He had to get the company to take him. He was the one.
He watched on in dismay as the skinny boy was dismissed before running over to the table. “What are you doing?” Soonyoung asked as Junhui took off towards the table. “Seungcheol. I know that kid.” Junhui hissed as he turned his eyes away from the CEO in shyness. “Please. Give this one a chance. He’s got something special.” Seunghcheol looked from Junhui to the CEO and Mingyu who both shrugged. “Its up to you Seungcheol. It’s your group to manage and if we don’t find two more boys then we’re going to be delayed even further.” The CEO looked at Mingyu who looked troubled. “The kid looks like a junkie Seungcheol. You sure?” Junhui’s eyes desperately pleaded with the three men facing him. “Please. I’ll take responsibility for him. I’m telling you he’s special. We need him.” Seungcheol could see the sincerity in Junhui’s eyes. He knew the kid was smart and sensible and wouldn’t throw his future away on a whim.
“Fine. Go tell him we’ll take him on a probationary trial. He can come to the dorm if he wants or he can keep his own living arrangements. But one foot out of line and he’s gone.” Junhui took off with a grin. “You wont regret it. The kid’s a star!”
He jogged out of the room and found Minghao wandering down the corridor with his hands in his pockets, head down, feet dragging as he walked. He grabbed his arm and spun him around and he knew Minghao recognised him as soon as their eyes met.
