     haneul truly couldn’t care if infinite burned to the ground, but he had to admit that ordering an array of food and coffee trucks for the acts and staffs was a smart way to build company morale. but despite the multiple options of trucks outside of the stadium, there was actually pretty limited seating. he really didn’t want to walk around idly in the heat, sipping his cold brew, so he zeroed in on the spaces available in the tables under a tent. at least, infinite had the decency to have everyone out of the shade. venturing over to a table, his dark gaze landed on a younger man, nodding in greeting as he pointed at the seat across from him. it was one of the last available. “ this one taken ? ” it wasn’t like he was expecting a conversation; he just need a place to relax for the rest of his break.

     “ minnie ! ” jinnie screeched over the blaring bass of a rihanna song, her eyes lighting up in excitement at the sight of her friend. as she stepped towards him, there was a slight sway in her step but thankfully, she managed in the heels well enough. her arms wrapped around the other, giggling. she swayed in spot for a moment before she jerked away, eyes wide and cheeks flushed. this was definitely a new side of her that hadn’t been seen before. she kinda liked it. instead of getting lost in her head, she was getting lost in some yummy fruity drinks. “ i found youuu ! ”

it wasn’t that chiheon had to wait around outside the door, pacing back and forth as manager jaemin sat inside, embroiled in a meeting. he knew the whole thing was tour related, though he wasn’t sure what exactly it entailed. tidal’s manager had to perform a lot of various duties such as this, and sometimes their rhythm guitarist wondered just how he did it. jaemin had clearly taken on a lot of responsibility at such a young age, and it forced chiheon to put himself in the other’s shoes. the group would have crashed and burned within a week with him as its young manager, but jaemin managed to shoulder things with such grace and professionalism. chiheon had come to respect the younger man in spades, and had accepted him into the tidal family with open arms ever since he’d truly gotten to know him.

his pacing stride was broken up when he heard the door to the meeting room open and a few of the other managers and head honchos of the tour came filing out. chiheon offered them all respectful bows in succession, as he wouldn’t dare want to embarrass jaemin in front of them. once he knew they were out of earshot, he clapped a playful hand gently to the other’s shoulder. “ manager hyung~ ! “ chiheon greeted him teasingly. “ i don’t know how you do it, sitting through those meetings. i wonder though, what was it about ? “ he inquired, curious about if it was anything affecting their band.
