     ˗ˏˋ ᴛʜᴇ ғɪʀsᴛ ʀᴜʟᴇ of being an idol is to not embarrass yourself publicly in front of a room full of company officials, including, but not limited to, your CEO, but jeongguk always strives to be different.

he's nineteen. let him live.

but he did, in fact, trip over his own feet on his way out of the conference room, cheeks burning as he smiles and bows professionally at the officials who leave the room after him. a great first impression on your first day as an idol. jeongguk lets his smile drop when it's just him in the hallway, covering his face with his hands and groaning.

he even wore his best suit, because he has to wear suits now instead of ratty old t-shirts and sweatpants in the practice room with thirty other trainees.

it's weird, though. jeongguk has been with this company, technically, for over four years. but he was just one of the hopefuls, giggling about being on stage with the other idol groups, about meeting bloom, about becoming famous.

but he just came out of a meeting with his ceo about his incoming debut stage. in a few months. in a few months. jeongguk will be debuting in a few months!

the stars are in his eyes when the last few officials come out, jeongguk immediately straightening to give them his best smile that he definitely hadn't been practicing in the mirror this morning. one of them stops to shake his hand, jeongguk internally panicking about whether or not his hand is sweaty.

"so? after all that, jeongguk, how do you feel?"

jeongguk pauses, but the man smiles, and it's enough to reassure him into speaking.

"ah, at least you're honest." the suit the man is wearing is so clean and tailored, it's intimidating. "i'm sure the rest of the staff and i are going to make sure that everything happens smoothly for you."

for the first time that day, jeongguk relaxes. "thanks," he says, the sincerity melting out of him. "it's a little scary, admittedly, but i'm still gonna try my best."

"well, what's your next step?"

jeongguk looks up, puzzled. "my ... next step?"

"what are you going to do next?" the man leans against the wall, cool, casual, confident, everything jeongguk wants to be. "you gonna go call your parents? get drunk? throw a party?"

jeongguk hadn't thought about any of those things, but it should be noted that jeongguk hardly thinks at all, nor has he ever made an autonomous decision in the last nineteen years. jeongguk looks to the ground, struggling to come up with an answer.
