"ARE YOU SERIOUS?!"
Sooyoung leaned forward so she could cover Jenny's mouth who was screaming. The two of them were standing alone behind the cafe counter which was as crowded as yesterday. Because Ahreum wasn't there, so Sooyoung just told Jenny everything.
Unexpectedly, Jenny was so shocked that her chubby cheeks were about to burst. She gripped Sooyoung's hands tightly as she looked at her friend closely.
"You're so goddamn lucky, did you know that?! Gosh, I can't believe this. My friend became the manager for my idol?!" The girl shrieked again. It took a few minutes before she finally calmed down.
"Eh, but that means you're going to move out of here, right?" Jenny realized, and her expression changed again.
Sooyoung nodded, "I'm sorry."
"Hey, I'm your friend. I'm happy with your new job. Don't worry about anything, and call me often, okay?" Jenny shaped the phone with her hands, grinning widely. "Especially when you're with the members, don't forget to post their photos!"
Sooyoung's laughter exploded because of that joke. "How could that be?"
The day passed quickly. Sooyoung finished the last day at the cafe accompanied by chatter about the Hexagon members with Jenny, which even reminded her of Seungkwan's orders this morning. Ahreum, who let Sooyoung go, also looked at her dearly, then patted Sooyoung's shoulder while giving certain advice.
The morning came just as quickly. Sooyoung spent two hours reducing her sleep to watch Hexagon's performance on Youcube while remembering their faces and names. Even though Seungkwan accompanied the members from their first debut, Sooyoung barely knew or met them. Apart from being busy with college life, Sooyoung is not too interested in idol's life.
As promised, Seungkwan came home at breakfast time. Sooyoung is ready with her homemade bacon sandwich. They also ate while chatting about one or two things before finally Seungkwan went to his room to clean up.
Not long after, Seungkwan came out of the room looking fresh with new clothes because he had just taken a shower. On his shoulder, the same briefcase slung, and he threw something at Sooyoung; a car key.
"Today we are going to the kid's dorm."
"I thought we were going to the company instead?" Sooyoung looked at the car keys that she recognized as one of the transportation from her brother's company.
"Today the company is off. Director Song chose to keep his mouth shut until the end, and to avoid reporters, we decided to just take the day off." Seungkwan explained. "Well, even though other divisions continue their activities. Moreover, BeauTi has been preparing to make a comeback."
Sooyoung listened while nodding.
The apartment that is the residence of the Hexagon members is two blocks from Sooyoung's apartment area. So just a short drive, they arrived. A towering white building, there are an estimated twenty floors containing four semi-luxury apartments on each floor. Since there are six members of Hexagon, it is not surprising that the company chose a large apartment.
"Is it okay if we come here? It's not even ten in the morning yet," Sooyoung asked as the two of them stepped onto the first floor and rushed to the elevator.
"I am always here even if it is still dawn. The kids don't seem to know that today is a holiday," Seungkwan replied while pressing the twelve button. "I plan to introduce you to them. Oh, Woolim and Hyejin will also come later."
The way Seungkwan referred to the Hexagon members with the word "Kids" still echoed in Sooyoung's head. It was obvious that her brother had always been very nurturing to them, and Sooyoung still didn't know how she felt when she was suddenly transferred to take care of the three-year senior group members.
A loud clank and the elevator door opened broke Sooyoung's daydream. In front of her, a long empty passage stretched out. There were only four doors apart from each other, and Seungkwan walked in the lead while reaching into his jeans pocket. The man stopped in front of the second door.
Sooyoung was a bit taken aback when Seungkwan took out the key and put it in the doorknob. Is that how close the manager and member are? If people don't know, they think it's weird. Sooyoung thought to herself while watching her brother pushing the door.
However, that's where the abnormal situation was seen.
The first thing Sooyoung saw behind the door was the messy foyer. The area connected to the hallway had a floor lined with shoes of various types and sizes, with different colors. Several pairs of shoes and sandals were lying haphazardly as if the wearer had kicked them when he was about to enter.
"What a messy boy's apartment," thought Sooyoung.
Before Sooyoung had time to think about anything else, there was a very noisy sound of footsteps from behind the hallway. Even so, Seungkwan still stepped in and made Sooyoung stutter while following him.
"Huh, I told you before! Your character is rotten! Don't play with me anymore!" A young man wearing a white t-shirt jumped onto the sofa, followed by another young man who wore glasses and messy blonde hair. A second later they chased after each other, seemingly clamoring for something which is a game console.
Sooyoung gasped at the sight. For a moment she remembered where she at as continued to watch.
"Well, you can't play properly either! Give me back my game!!"
"I can't let you pick a useless silly character! Just let me do it!"
The two men wrestled on the floor, screaming at each other until Sooyoung dropped her jaw in shock. Sooyoung finally found out, they were Yoobin and Yongsun. But now they are fighting! Meanwhile, Seungkwan was still standing in the hallway while typing something on his phone.
"Hey you guys!" A firm voice that sounded annoyed came. Sooyoung turned her head, this time he immediately recognized a young man with glasses as Seunghoon. Now the young man's hand was on his hips, glared in front of Yoobin and Yongsun.
"If you guys wanna keep yelling, better go and finish it outside! I'm trying to watch a drama you know!"
Surprisingly, Yongsun and Yoobin sat straight up neatly, it didn't look like they were just wrestling and screaming anymore. Seunghoon was about to say something to them, but couldn't because his instincts told him to turn around.
Instantly his eyes widened when he met Sooyoung's gaze who was standing awkwardly.
"Oh, big bro?!" Yongsun squealed with joy, threw the game console that was quickly forgotten, then rushed over to Seungkwan.
"Why are you standing there?"
But his footsteps stopped suddenly. When Yongsun saw Sooyoung, his cheerfulness evaporated instantly.
"Why are you guys already noisy this morning, huh?" Seungkwan laughed softly as he stepped closer to the young man. "Who will stand it if you face you guys like this?"
But the three Hexagon members ignored Seungkwan's words and instead looked at Sooyoung. Being stared at like that made the poor girl's heart pound and her knees tremble with nervousness. Being in this apartment was a mistake! Her mind screamed.
"Big bro?" Another call made all eyes turn.
This time, the young man that Sooyoung had memorized was Mingyu the fierce Lead Dancer standing in the middle of the living room, wearing a pink apron and holding a vegetable ladle in his right hand.
His eyes swept across the room then stopped right at Sooyoung. His facial muscles tensed, his skin turned pale and his expression changed drastically.
"What the hell is going on here?" he asked sarcastically and sharply. Just hearing that was able to make Sooyoung's heart fall into her stomach.
The large living room with a long leather sofa, a large set of display cabinets, and a flat-screen television instantly go silent. Cold sweat dripped down Sooyoung's neck, very uncomfortable with the four men gathered there looking at her like she was a stray alien.
It seemed that the situation was made worse when the door on the right that was closest to where Sooyoung was standing opened.
A young man who had just woken up appeared. His blond hair was messy and curly, and his eyes were slightly puffy. The most fatal thing was that he was standing there topless. His chest and abdominal muscles were exposed tremendously.
While blinking his eyes half-consciously, he innocently asked, "Why is it so crowded here?"
"ALPHA!"
The quiet atmosphere was immediately broken by the shouts of Yongsun and Yoobin. Seungkwan also darted towards the shirtless young man to protect him, and Sooyoung let out a muffled scream and then quickly turned around, covering her eyes because she had just seen something she shouldn't have seen.
Seungkwan was busy bringing in Alpha who was still half-conscious, Yoobin and Yongsun screamed in panic, while Mingyu and Seunghoon stood up in a hurry looking for something to cover Alpha's body.
The last member came out like a prince. It was Hyunwoo, and his first expression when he left the room were bulging eyes and an exaggerated shocked gesture.
"WHY ARE A GIRL HERE?!" the screams were dramatic, adding to the boisterous atmosphere.
