"I've been constantly reminding you every single day, so why don't you have the manuscripts yet?"
Kibum balled his fists as he scanned the room, the figures of his unfazed co-editors frustrating him all the more. He knew for a fact that being the officer-in-charge of the month magazine was hard, but he didn't think it would be this hard. He was sure he'd been doing everything right - he followed deadlines, coordinated with the printers properly, motivated his co-editors right, so he didn't understand why they still failed to meet the deadline.
"Stop playing around with the poor kid, guys," Jinki commented. "You're causing him too much trouble."
"Well, you're the one to talk." Jonghyun scoffed. "Your author is a serial offender. He always misses the deadlines."
Jinki chuckled. "I made sure there was enough time for him to slack off. I should have the manuscripts in today."
"Oh, thank God!" A wave of relief suddenly washed over Kibum. He knew for a fact that Jinki's author was one of the more delinquent ones, so finding out that the author would be done just in time was more than enough to brighten up his day. "Just leave them on my desk when you get them, okay?"
"Yup, got that."
"Jinki, you've got a fax." Taemin handed Jinki a piece of paper, and Kibum watched in horror as the smile on Jinki's face turned upside down.
It was not a good sign.
"Excuse me, Mr. Choi. I have to hunt down my author and beat him up the first chance I get." Jinki stuffed his things in his bag, then turned to Kibum. "I'm sorry, Kibum, but it looks like the manuscript will be delayed."
"Wha-"
Jinki left even before Kibum could react. Minho took the liberty to reply to Kibum's interrupted complaint.
"The printers are playing around with you. You are seriously a hopeless case."
