A to the Z

Monday, two pm
Bosam's point of view

The group was having a comeback, and today they were having a meeting to discuss concepts. I was in my room, listening to Rowoon tell me about his first day at the daycare, while the boys were in their living room talking to their manager about the comeback.

"And there was a big TV with music always playing!" Rowoon said, making my smile drop. "Oh? What kind?" "Like uh- the kind like... baby shark?" He said uncertainly and I smiled in relief. "Oh. They're called nursery rhymes, baby." I informed him and he grinned at me. He always seemed so eager about learning.

I opened my mouth to say something, when there was a knock on my door. Then Lee Jaehyun, their manager and an old friend of mine opened the door without waiting for an answer.

"Unca Jae!" Rowoon squealed, jumping off the bed, his little feet slapping against the gray-tiled floor as he ran into Jaehyun's arms.

"Hey little man," he said as he picked him up and smiled at me. "How are you doing Bosam?"

I smiled slightly seeing Jaehyun. He was my closest friend. When I first ran into trouble when pregnant with Rowoon... he stood by me, even though we were just coworkers. I was fired, but he helped me out. At the time he was nothing more than a PA, but he worked his way up and he kept getting me small make-up or styling gigs every time he could. He is the only male figure in Rowoon's life, and since he's such a good friend, I let him call Jaehyun uncle. Or as Rowoon says, "unca" Jae.

"I'm fine Jae," I said, standing up. "How are my boys treating ya?" He asked, propping Rowoon on his hip.

"They're nice. They love Rowoon." I said, smiling wider.

"Who doesn't?" He said rhethorically. "Anyway, I need you in the living room. We're about to discuss the looks for the comeback, so I think we should fill you in on the concept." He said, before turning around and walking off to the living room with Rowoon still in his arms.

I followed suit, and found the boys looking surprised at the image of their manager holding my child.

"So anyway, as I was saying, the comeback will consist of two title tracks. The first, Say My Name. The second, Hala Hala." He said, to which the boys reacted eagerly. They seemed very happy and excited about the songs, looking at each other with smiles and wide eyes.

"Bosam, for Say My Name, we want the boys to pop with their visuals. What do you have in mind?" He asked and I hummed thoughtfully, taking a look at the members.

"We could do that. Flashy clothes would drown out their visuals. So would colorful clothes. So I'm thinking a neutral color pallete. Browns, tans, creamy whites. Maybe fur?" I suggested, raising an eyebrow at Jaehyun, who smiled.

"Fur! That sounds interesting. We'll have to check with the choreographer, so I'll get back to you on that." He said with a smile. "And their hair? Are we good?" He asked.

"Hongjoong really rocks the long hair," I started "He has a baby mullet going on and I think it would really suit him. I'll darken up his blonde a little and.. can I give him extensions? I just want to elongate the mullet a bit. Maybe shave the sides," I said, a playful smile growing on my face as I looked from Hongjoong to Jaehyun. "Absolutely. Hongjoong would really rock a mullet." He said, grinning at the shorter boy.
