You had been working with the boys for a couple of weeks now as a manager’s assistant, hoping you’d become a manager yourself someday. They had all been very friendly and welcoming towards you, making you feel right at home from the beginning. You were treated as a sister rather than an employee and you had never loved a job more.

There was one… well, it wasn’t exactly a problem, but something that worried you nonetheless. It seemed Kyungsoo hadn’t really warmed up to you yet, rarely speaking to you unless it was completely necessary and often avoiding looking at you. He just seemed to be uncomfortable whenever you were in the room with him, and you were sad that he didn’t seem to want to give you a chance.  

After thinking about it for a couple of days, you finally gathered the courage to ask Junmyeon about it, hoping the leader could maybe tell you the reason for Kyungsoo’s apparent dislike for you.

You managed to corner him after practice one day. “Junmyeon can I ask you something?” you asked a little nervous.

  “Sure Y/N, what’s up?” he looked at you with a smile, then frowned a little. “Are you okay? You look at little red, you’re not getting sick, are you?”

  “No no, nothing like that, I’m just wondering…” you trailed off, not really knowing how to say it. Junmyeon waited patiently for you to finish and you just ended up blurting out, “Why doesn’t Kyungsoo like me?”

Junmyeon’s eyes widened and he started laughing until he realized that you were serious and he quickly bit back his smile. “Y/N I can assure you that Kyungsoo has nothing against you,” he reassured you, giving you a gentle pat on the head. “He just takes a little while to open up to people. Be patient with him and you’ll see it all work out.”

  “Okay,” you mumbled, mostly to yourself. You were determined to make him like you even just a little. You were going to be working together for a long time hopefully, so it would just make it more pleasant for everyone.

So, every time you saw him, you made sure to always smile and say hello, try and engage him in small conversations and generally just being almost creepily nice. You were probably pushing your luck a bit, coming on too strong sometimes, but you didn’t really know what else you do. You weren’t exactly a patient person.

Kyungsoo it seemed had no idea what to do with all the attention he was suddenly getting from you, where you had formerly mostly left him to his own as you were afraid to annoy him. Every time you talked to him, he would get all flustered and more often than not just mumble some answer before excusing himself. He never looked annoyed though, just shy, which made you even more determined to get him out of his shell. You just had a feeling that the two of you would get along great once he warmed up to you.  

The other boys had picked up on what you were doing and just found it all hilarious.

  “Wow Y/N, going all out to impress Kyungsoo I see,” Sehun teased as you walked into the backstage room. Baekhyun looked up from his phone and whistled playfully at you.

You just rolled your eyes at them. “Actually, Sehun, I’m going out to dinner with my family right after work so I won’t have time to change. Which means you all have to be on your best behaviour today so this outfit will stay as spot and wrinkle free as it is now, got it?”

They both mock saluted you and you sighed before handing them their scripts for the evening’s show. “Make sure to read them thoroughly,” you instructed them. “Do you know when the other boys will arrive?”

The both of them just shrugged, now focused on their respective scripts. You decided to just wait with them, handing out the other scripts as the boys arrived.

Kyungsoo arrived last along with Jongdae and you stood up to give them their scripts as well. Jongdae just smiled and thanked you, while Kyungsoo froze and stared.

  “Kyungsoo?” you asked when he didn’t take the script you were holding out for him. “Are you okay?”    

  “You’re so beautiful.” His voice was almost inaudible but in the otherwise silent room, everyone heard it. You nearly dropped the script in surprise and he immediately looked like he regretted ever getting out of his bed that morning. His face turned completely red and he laughed embarrassedly, covering his mouth with his hand. He started backing out of the room as the boys couldn’t hold back their laughter anymore.

  “Ah, I’m sorry,” he apologized to you profusely, clearly mortified.

  “No no it’s okay,” you quickly reassured him, feeling your own face burning. You had no idea what to say really, but you were very flattered. “Thank you.”

He seemed to gather a little courage, cheered on by his members, and he chuckled a little awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck. “Would you… maybe like to get something to eat after filming?” he asked shyly.

  “Oh, I’m – I’m actually going out with my family,” you said, feeling terrible seeing his face fall, thinking he was being rejected. “But I’m not doing anything tomorrow?”

He lit up with a shy smile, and he nodded. “I’ll cook something.”

   “Sounds amazing,” you said, feeling shy yourself. You didn’t really know where this would go, but you were all for giving it a chance.

As you ushered all the boys out of the room just before showtime, Kyungsoo caught your eye and waved at you cutely. You giggled and waved back, giving him a thumbs up for good luck.
