Eun Kyung's POV
After the introduction with the group, I went back to my room and continued unpacking my things.
"Ha! At last I'm done!~" I said then lay down on the bed.
I was starting to drift off to dreamland when I heard knocks on the door.
"Come in!~" I said then straightened my clothes.
"Noona! I mean Manager-nim!" Jimin approached me with an eye smile so I smiled back at him.
"Jimin! Is there anything I can help you with?" I said as I signaled for him to sit beside me and so he did.
"Nothing actually. I just wanted to ask how you're doing. And also, the others may seem aloof for now but don't worry, they're just adjusting because this is the first time we had a female manager, a young female manager specifically. I know we'll all get along soon." He said with a reassuring smile.
"No it's fine! It's normal. Even I feel intimidated though I don't show it too much. I think I just need to earn their trust." I said.
"That's great then Manager-nim! You know honestly, I really hope that you'll become our permanent manager, it's not that I don't like our past manager, he's also kind, it's just that I don't want anyone to leave us again." said Jimin with a hint of sadness in his tone.
"Don't worry, I'll do what it takes to support everyone of you until the end. Let's just hope that CEO Bang will let me handle you permanently. Actually--" I was just about to say something when we heard another knock on the door and this time, it was Taehyung.
"Come in!" I said as Taehyung came in, pouting, with his arms crossed, looking at Jimin.
"Oh right I forgot!" said Jimin as he saw the look on his bandmate's face.
"Excuse me Manager-nim, I came here to fetch Jimin. We told him to ask you to come watch our practice but I guess he totally forgot. Aigoo." He said, still looking at Jimin.
It's actually funny looking at them. I just stopped myself from grinning too much so I wouldn't interrupt what seems to be a staring contest between the two.
"It's an honest mistake! I did not forget it intentionally!" whined Jimin and looked at me as if he's asking for a back-up.
"Ha! For all I know, you just want to--"
"Okaaay you two, let's go. The others may be waiting for us now." I interrupted so they would stop bickering with each other. The two are still silently fighting and pouting when I held them both in their arms which made them both flinch.
"Why? You two won't stop and as your manager, I need to intervene so you won't end up fighting like kids. Come on you two." I said and pushed them both towards the practice room next to mine.

Hoseok's POV
"Pa-pa-pa-pa. Guys guys, we should do it like this," I said and demonstrated them the proper moves.
"Okay again in one, two,three, pa-pa-pa-pa--wait. Where's Jimin and Taehyung? They're supposed to be here now. It's not like Manager-nim's room is at the rooftop." I said while breathing heavily, with my hands on my waist.
"You're right Hyung. I'm gonna go get--" Jungkook said but was also cut off as the door opened and Taehyung and Jimin entered, Manager-nim holding them in their arms. I saw the two looked as if they've been eating lots of red chili peppers.
"Hi guys! I'm really sorry if I took too long. And sorry for interrupting your practice. Now you two, continue practicing and please stop teasing each other now okay?" Manager-nim told Jimin and Taehyung. She then went to the front and sat down.
"Is it okay if I watch you here? I also happened to be a dancer so I might help you if you have difficulties." She said with a smile.
"Of course!" The others said in unison so they all looked at me as I am the only one who didn't answer. Manager-nim too, looked at me as if she's waiting for my approval.
"Y-yes of course!" I exclaimed and she smiled. So, she's also a dancer.
Honestly, this is kinda awkward to me since I'm used to leading the dance practices every time. But if she'll be able to help us improve, then why not, right?
--
We continued the dance practice for three more hours and decided to take an hour break before we resume.
Manager-nim went out an hour ago and came back with some snacks.
"Guys!~ I bought some food for you. For our maknae, I bought you some pizza and a box of banana milk. Taehyung-ssi, I bought you a burger and a soda. Jimin-ssi, you told me you like chicken, so I bought this from one of my favorite chicken restaurants. I hope you like it. Hoseok-ssi, I also bought you a burger and I heard you like sprite so yep. Yoongi-ssi, I actually bought two boxes of pizza, so this one's for you, and here's your soda. Jin-ssi, Jimin-ssi told me you like Naengmyeon so I ordered one for you, Namjoon-ssi, I went to a very popular noodle place and ordered you some Kalguksu because I heard this is your favorite. I hope you all like it. I'll be leaving you guys, I need to do something urgent. Enjoy your food and take another hour break after finishing your meal so you won't hurt your stomach, okay? I'll catch up with you guys later." She said, smiling, waved goodbye and left the practice room.
"Waah~ She really made an effort to know what we like to eat, that is so kind of her." said Jungkook while opening the box of pizza Manager-nim gave him.
"That's right! She actually told me that she's worried you guys may not like her so she asked me all your favorite food. I can't believe she took it seriously." said Jimin.
"Wait, how come you're already close to her? I envy you Hyung~" said Jungkook while munching on his food.
"Right, while we're at the topic, I think we need to approach her more so she won't feel uncomfortable around us. I can see that she's really trying." said Jin-hyung as he opened his bowl of Naengmyeon.
Everyone else started to eat. I wasn't sure if it was a smile I saw on Yoongi-hyung's face as he opened his box of pizza. Taehyung was happily eating his burger, Namjoon, was also smiling while eating, and I, also started chomping on my burger. I don't know if it's because we're too happy to have a break and be treated to our favorite food, or is it because our pretty manager is the one who treated us. But regardless, we're very thankful for her. I really hope we break the awkward barrier between us soon.
Wait, did I just say she's pretty?
