Harsh Meetings
Teaser 3: The Final One
If there is something he hates, it's being left waiting. Minho paces around the round table of the meeting room for the hundredth time, making sure each of the chairs are perfectly on angle with the table. The meeting with the rest of the team was set for 9:00 am, but with the knowledge that some emergency would keep Mr. Kim occupied until 9:30, the newly entitled manager of Choeun's newest group hoped to be able to talk to the other ones before the CEO arrived. However, being 9:15, Minho has already abandoned all hope, when the door finally bursts open.
Two guys stride into the room in a way that makes Minho want to rolls his eyes. Both are wearing black sunglasses and fashionable jackets, probably to protect them from the strong wind of the current weather, but one could easily think they were walking on a runway.
"Good morning, I'm Do Minho, the group's manager and you are...?" he says, stretching out his right hand towards the first guy, who he has never met before.
"Busy" The newcomer doesn't even turn to look at him, too focused on fixing his long black hair with the help of a compact mirror. He just makes his way to the closest chair before sitting down on it.
"Hyung!" He jumps a bit, bowing in front of a very confused Minho. Just the other day he had thrown him out of the training room in front of all the girls and still, here he was, talking to him so happily and so fast Minho could barely register what he said. "What would you think? I got invited to the reunion too! I thought Old-man Kim was totally ignoring me! But now I'm here, and you are here and we can totally work together! Aren't you excited?!"
"Emm... totally." says Minho in a dry way, but Junho keeps babbling, not really paying attention.
When they finally settle around the table, Minho decides to begin discussing the state of the trainees.
"Ok, well, first, I want to go on about the dancers." He begins, taking a stash of files from the small tower of folders to his right.
"So, did you like what I show you the other day?" Junho's over-excited face comes very close to his, crossing the line of his personal space; making the third male raise an eyebrow.
"W-what?" The manager seems taken aback by the sudden closure of the youngest, his collected façade faltering.
"The girls. I totally made them work their butts off the other day, just for you, hyung" Junho lays back on his chair, looking all proud of what he did.
"They were watchable. Some more than others." Minho continues, regaining his lost composure, unaware of the way Junho's right eye is twitching now. He takes the first file of the pile and opens it to reveal several pictures of a female and many papers. "I think that this girl...."
"You think? Ha. Don't make me laugh." Junho cuts him before he can finish the sentence. "No, debuting her would be stupid. This girl here is probably our best dancer; she will make everyone look like an amateur. She would be more helpful as a soloist or even as an instructor, a choreographer."
"I consider the other girls are pretty competent dancers. Anyway, if they haven't been advancing then it's probably a problem of their teacher." Minho quickly shoots back, not taken aback by Junho's sudden change of attitude; so much for all the 'hyung-love'.
"What do you know? I have never leave them when they need me the most, besides you..." Junho sneers, he pauses, seemingly to search for a good insult. "You dance like an old man"
"What?" Minho barely blinks, but you can see the muscles of his jaws clenching.
"You heard me." Junho says, with a cocky tone.
"Oh I didn't, would you care to repeat that?" Minho's words come out very strongly; his tone is now a steely one.
"Oh, so now your hearing is deteriorating." The voice of the dance instructor is dripping with a mocking tone. "You. Dance. Like. An. Old. Man." He says with a louder voice, staring straight into Minho's eyes. Junho starts moving his shoulders up and down, with eyes wide open and mouth slightly hanging open.
"That's it, you little...!" Minho is about to stand up from his chair and jump on Junho, thinking about leaving his cocky little model-like face ugly for pictures, when the other guy closes his compact mirror very loudly.
"Enough!" He states with a firm voice, making them both stop in their places. "You can have you little fuss later. I came here to talk fashion terms; I don't do Jerry Springfield stuff, okay?"
"Fa-fashion?" Minho forgets about his murdering intentions to stare at the unknown male. "I thought you were the vocal coach"
"No, no, no. That's Tae-Hee, I'm Tae-Woo." He takes his glasses off and Minho finally gets a clear view of his baby face. "You should get your facts straight" He says, scrunching his nose in a cute manner, which combined with his adorable grin creates in Minho a feeling which is equal parts wanting to buy him an ice-cream and punch him in his stupid face.
"So... you are a-"
"He is totally a Cordi-oppa!" states Junho, bursting out laughing.
"Yes, Junho, that joke became old an hour ago, and for all I'm concerned he is a 'manny' and you are going to make choreography for a girl group, so I hope you can rock those heels" Taewoo deadpans, pointing to both of them and then to himself. "Now kids, you two play nice, because this Fashion King is going to search the web for some good deals. I got the tip that this is going to be a hip-hop group, and no way in hell I'm going to dress these girls in Boy London knock-offs." With that he takes his smartphone out and starts sweeping and touching away in it, like nothing had happened, making Minho question if he had actually spoken to begin with. But he raises his eyes again, speaking with the same aegyo-filled voice. "Oh and Junhonnie, your hair is totally messed up"
And that was how the CEO found them ten minutes later, Taewoo glued to his phone muttering something about leather , Junho checking himself out in Taewoo's compact mirror and Minho with his gaze lost in infinity, massaging his temples while repeating "I'm a manny".
