“Wake up!” Yunhos voice sounded around the apartment, much to the suprise of everyone because he was usually the last person to stumble into the kitchen on a day off.
Three weary boys wandered into the kitchen, rubbing their eyes and savouring the smell of the breakfast waiting for them.
“Why so early?” Junsu muttered in a sleep ladened voice
“I’ve had a phone call from the manager. Lee soo man wants to see up personally in an hour and a half and we so don’t want to be late for that meeting.” Yunho informed them all the while hugging Jae as he dished up pancakes.
“Yunnie! Get off of me while I do this!” Jae sofened his demand by leaning back ad kissing his lover on the cheek.
Jae handed out the breakfast plates and joined his family at the table. As he ate he had an amused smile on his face as he watched his family eat their breakfast. Although the prospect of a meeting with LSM worried him slightly, he couldn’t shake the feeling of contentment of having his boys around him. His smile grew as he felt Yunho caress his leg underneath the table. But still he felt slightly apprehensive about the forthcoming meeting. What if management had found out about his relationship with Yunho and was going to order them to stop. Well that would never happen. He would fight tooth and nail for what he had with Yunho. Yunho had become his life and he knew he would even give up DBSK to remain with him.
What worried him more was if they had found out about Min and his flourishing relationship with Dong Wook. He knew the younger boy had fallen hard for Se7en and after what they had all been through regarding this relationship he knew Min would never relinquish it. Yunho had tried to stop them being together and it was only after many arguments, fights and meetings between the leader and Se7en that Yunho had finally accepted it and tentativly accepted Se7en into their family. Jae’s musings were interupted by the shrill ringing of the phone. He watched Yunho rise from the table and snag the cordless phone from where it sat by the door.
“Se7en, good morning............ Min!!” instead of handing the phone to Min he continued listening, a frown appearing on his face. “ Yes we’ve been called in too........I have no idea what for.............same time as us! Oh well let’s not worry until we know we have something to worry about. OK Dong Wook we’ll see you there.” He handed the phone to Min who was hovering, eagerly awaiting to speak to his lover. Min took the phone and wandered out of the kitchen.
“What was that about Yunnie?” Jae also had a frown on his face as his previous concerns came to the forefront of his mind.
“Hmm...Se7ens been called for a meeting with his manger and LSM at the same time as us. God...I hope this isn’t trouble, especially for him and Min. He’s worried sick about Min.”
Jae looked into his boyfriends face, marvelling at how Yunho wanted to protect the couple, when only a short few months ago he wanted to kill se7en for daring to touch the youngest member of their close knit family. Jae’s mind cast back to the night Yunho caught Min and Se7en kissing in the private car park at one of Seouls top hotels during a music industry party. That was one night when none of them got any sleep as Yunho and Se7en argued throughout the night at their apartment. It was only throught Min and Se7ens fierce determination and Jae’s gentle persuation that the two remained together and their relationship remained intact. Since then Yunho and Se7en had come to a tacit understanding that Min was important enough to call a cease fire for. In fact , the tacit understanding had developed into an easy friendship.
“Hey baby” Mins smile grew as he greeted Dong Wook.
“Morning beautiful. Miss me?” Dong Wook’s sultry tone sent a shiver along Mins spine.
“Always love, always. After all I haven’t seen you for three whole days. Are you ok?” Three days wasn’t really a long time for the two of them, Work committments often keeping them apart for longer periods of time than that.
“I’m fine honey. I’ll be even better soon. You’re going to be seeing me shortly baby ‘cos I have a meeting with LSM this morning, and according to Yunho so have you, at the same time.” Mins sharp intake of breathe could be heard by the man at the end of the phone line.
“Oh, what about? Is it trouble do you think. Why would they want to see us together. We’re not even the same company. Oh my god - Dong wook! Do you think they’ve found out about us? Oh no! What if they want to split us up? Oh baby, I’m really worried now!” Se7en could hear the fear and the tears in his lovers voice. It was something he never wanted to hear from young lover. It was one of the things that endeared him to Min, the fact that he was eternally optomistic, and that he always called him Dong Wook in private, only calling him Se7en when with the others.
“Hey, hey, don’t get upset sweetheart. Whatever it is we’ll deal with it. I’m never gonna leave you. You know that. We are forever remember?” Dong Wooks voice soothed Min somewhat.
“I know, forever. I love you, you know. It’s just the thought of anything coming between us scares me. I don’t want to lose you - ever.” Min’s voice had regained some of it’s composure as he heard his lovers reassuring tones.
“You are not going to lose me Min. I promised you forever and that’s what you are going to get. I don’t care if I lose everything else in my life, I am not going to lose you. Now go and get ready for the meeting and I’ll see you soon. Maybe we can catch a little time together after the meeting.” He blew a kiss down the phone and waited for Min to whispser ‘I love you’ before he hung up.
The ride to the office was quite and anxious and the anticipation was palpable. The 5 boys didn’t speak at all. Jae stroked Yunho’s leg lovingly as he drove the car. The others just gazed out of the windows, lost in their own individual thoughts as to what the meeting was about.
Chun and Junsu’s thoughts were firmly fixed on the Se7en/Min situation. They themselves were hovering on the brink of something special, neither of them brave enough to actually take a step forward. Yoochun looked at Su and held his hand gently as if to reassure the boy that whatever was going to occur, he would be there for him. Su smiled back at him shyly. He understood he had Yoochuns support and love.
Yunho parked the car and they were greeted by their manger as they got out. Jae resisted the urge to grab Yunho’s hand and twine their fingers together. He badly needed to feel the comfort of Yunho’s touch as the anxiety over the meeting overwhelmed him. The boys quietly followed their manager into the lift taking them to LSM’s office.
“What is the meeting about hyung?” Yunhos voice was laced with trepidation, something the manager could pick up on easily.
“I don’t know, needless to say the boss souded cheerful when I spoke to him a minute ago.” The manager smiled reassuringly.
The 5 boys and their manager were led into the bosses office each shaking his hand before they took a seat. He smiled widely as he greeted each of them by their name and asked after their welfare. As they settled into their seats there was a knock on the door and it opened to reveal Se7en and his manager. Both bosses greeted each other warmly and even embraced. At seeing this Yunho breathed a sigh of relief and was happy to notice the others doing the same.
“Well, I know you are all eager to know why we have summonsed you here. This meeting will hopefully have a very positive outcome for both companies and you as artists.” No one responded as they knew interuptions would not be looked upon kindly by LSM.
“As you know Se7en is about to engage on an America tour this year. We think it will be productive if one of the support bands is also Korean. Now Se7en already has a respectable following out there but you boys have yet to venture outside of Asia. We, that is YG management, and myself think that this would be an ideal oportunity for you, DBSK, to have exposure in the USA. We would not be marketing you as artists from different companies, but rather as artists from Korea.” He paused to let his statement sink in.
The boys looked at each other as they assimilated the information. Min looked at Se7en and as their eyes met they smiled at each other. He hadn’t dare look at his lover yet for fear of giving away anything to their managers and the boss. As their eyes lingered on each other his mind ran through the implications of what was being proposed. Time with his lover, working together, being together. His thoughts were interupted by the boss continuing with his proposal.
“Of course this will only happen with the consent of all involved but I’m sure you will agree to this as you wil see the benefits to be had. Your managers will have you schedules and will go through them with you. The tour starts in 5 months so there will be plenty of time for you to collaborate and work together on this project. Although Se7en will be the headline act, we are hoping that there will be ample oportuity for you to perform together during the concerts. I will give you a brief rundown of what is expected of you before the tour starts”. All eyes were on the boss as he continued relaying the rough outline of their future.
”You will continue with your individual work. All parties will engage in promotional work in japan for two months, starting next month. This will give you the oportunity to collaborate on singing and dancing skills. You will share you skills and learn from each other. You will become familiar with each other in order to enhance your working relatioship. That is all I have to say at the moment. Your opinions please?”
Yunho looked to the other boys who all nodded at him. Se7en looked towards Yunho and nodded in subtle agreement to Yunho speaking for them all. ‘Ha!’ Se7en thought, ‘little does he know that the Dong bang boys and I are already quite well aquainted’.
“Yes sir I think it is a very acceptable arrangement and we look forward to working with Se7en”. Yunho bowed respectfully to his Boss.
“Se7en?” LSM looked towards the singer with a questioning lilt to his head.
“Yes sir, I’m in complete agreement with Yunho.” He bowed respectfully and as he raised his head his eyes met Mins with a smile.
As everyone started to rise from their seats LSM cleared his throat.
“Oh and a couple of things before you leave, and please do not interupt what i am about to say” the boys looked at each other and then back towards the boss.
“The press in America are a lot more intrusive than here. They have no qualms about using long lenses and prying into celebrities private affairs. Jaejoong, Yunho, you must be very carefull how you conduct yourselves and your relationship when there. Even more so than you do here”. The boys gasped and Jae looked at Yunho with wide frightened eyes.
“Don’t look so surprised and worried Jaejoong. I know it is not only fan service and I would have to be blind to not know what is going on. I just want you to be extra discreet. Although same sex relationships are more acceptable there than here, there will still be factions that will seek to destroy you, not only professionaly but also personally. This is why I warn you to be carefull” He looked upon the couple with amusement, not quite believing that they thought he didn’t know.
“Thank you sir” Jaejoong utterd “We will heed your advice”
“Good.Changmin, Dong Wook, I offer you the same advice. I know about the trips to japan to visit you lover, Changmin. I trust you will be as carefull as the other two. Of course this is a bit of a bonus for the two of you as it offers you the oportunity to see more of each other. And saves you all those tireing trips back and forth to Japan. “ Min and Se7en just stared at each other before thanking the boss.
The six speechles boy left the office. Once the door was shut firmly behind them, Lee Soo Man sat back and placed his feet on his desk. He reached for his phone and dialled, waiting for a reply he reached for a cigar in his desk drawer.
“Hello......yes, yes....I’ve spoken to them. All agreed, all seemed happy..................Hey they thought I didn’t know!!! Do I appear that stupid?..............................” With that he threw his head back and laughed.
