Chapter 9 - Meeting The New Trainees

Yunho stared at the manager in horror, unable to move, fixated to the ground, mind still digesting the information. No way. There was no way that there were going to be additions to be added to DBSK. Those spaces were reserved for JYJ and JYJ only. How dare they even think of replacing JYJ with strangers, who properly can’t even match up to their standards.

A blur of colors caught his attention as it rushed past him and he was drawn back to the current situation, only to see Changmin standing in front of their manager. The younger was holding him up by the collar, growling as he shoved his face in his, almost at the edge of killing him, not that Yunho would have mind, given what he had heard.

“Why?” Changmin growled, tightening his hold.

“T-The CEO s-said so. Wa-ait N-no more.” Their manager choked out, struggling futilely in the maknae’s grip.

Changmin’s eyes narrowed, tightening his hand further more, if that was possible. He should have known. The CEO, Kim Young Min, hated JYJ more than anyone ever did. He was the one who banned them from appearing on television broadcast stations. Ever since Kim Young Min took over, things started going downhill, not only for DBSK but also for the rest of the SM artistes. It was thanks to the lawsuit which their brothers had filed that bought to light of the unfair treatment of the idols in SM Entertainment and things started improving. Changmin always regretted that it had taken such a big sacrifice for them to realize.

Yunho, seeing the manager’s face slowly turning blue and purple from the lack of air, moved forward and gripped Changmin’s shoulders. Deep inside, he actually wanted to strangle the manager himself, but he knew that the manager wasn’t at fault.

“Stop.” He commanded. 

Changmin rolled his eyes at the order, but obeyed either way and dropped their manager on the ground, who scurried out of the room as fast as he could, hands massaging his throat.

“Hyung. We can’t allow this.” Changmin looked at Yunho.

“I know. But it’s the CEO’s order.” Yunho looked away from Changmin instead.

The younger couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Was Yunho giving up? After 3 years of waiting, was he going to give up and allow them to add three strangers into the group. Changmin was about to open his mouth to answer when the door burst open.

“Yunho! We heard!” The members of Super Junior poured into the room, one after another.

“Are you alright?” Eunhyuk asked.

“What do you think of this?” Sungmin was acting like a reporter.

And such questions followed, not giving the duo a chance to answer. Leeteuk raised his hand for silence as the members quieted down at the signal. The Super Junior leader casted a glance at Yunho, silently asking if he was alright, only to receive a tired smile.

“We’ll continue this at the dorm.” Yunho told Changmin, before looking over at the Super Junior members, sending a silent invitation which they accepted willingly.
