The label's newest manager and an up-and-coming trainee begin the romance of a lifetime as they navigate the watchful eyes of the media and their deranged CEO. Against all odds, their love prevails.

@✵ xiao zhanᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ Since Yibo knew he would be staying at Zhan's place tonight, he didn't bother to shower back at the dorm first, and instead left the company building at the first given moment to flee for his boyfriend's house. With his duffel slung over his shoulder and a small knapsack of clothes for tonight and the next morning, Yibo arrived giddily in front of Zhan's house right at 6:30, knocking on the door and bouncing on his feet excitedly for Zhan to open the door. From the other side of the door, he seemed to hear Jian Guo's frantic meows, and Yibo called out to calm her, "I'm here baby!"
✵ xiao zhan ᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ [A] 3 years ago
@✵ wang yiboᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ With two weeks to go until their mini-vacation, Zhan had invited Yibo over for some well-deserved alone time with the younger and to plan their trip together. Zhan had promised him to figure it out together. He'd gotten off work right on time as well so he could be home early to prepare the dinner Yibo had requested. Jian Guo was excited as well, though Zhan had no idea how she'd be able to tell, but she sat by the door, listening for footsteps and mewling whenever she heard them, whether it was Yibo or not.

✵ xiao zhan ᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ [A] 3 years ago
@✵ wang yiboᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ See you Friday.
/nudges you back instead, indicating for you to get going into the building before I leave, not wanting to leave you out here/
/once you're in, I give you a wave before setting off myself, giddy from our time together/
✵ wang yibo ²⁰/²⁰ [A] 3 years ago
@✵ xiao zhanᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ *nods, feeling like this announcement was the perfect end to my day*
Okay...you should get going too
*smiles at you, wishing I could kiss you again*
Get home safe, and text me when you are okay?
*gives a little push to make you get going first*
✵ xiao zhan ᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ [A] 3 years ago
@✵ wang yiboᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ I hope so.
/smiles, but my grin becoming a little tense at the thought of having to manage and even put up with Baekhyun for so long/
I hope your dreams come true too.
/rubs your side, trying to get you to settle, seeing as it was getting late/
Go back to your dorm now. You need to wake early tomorrow.
✵ wang yibo ²⁰/²⁰ [A] 3 years ago
@xiao zhanᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ *nods, trying to calculate how many cycles of trainees would have to be debuted before you may even get to be my manager*
What if I went solo one day? Would you be my manager Ge?
*raises my brows excitedly*
Or what if I had a duo with Baekhyun hyung!
*sighs happily*
That'd be the dream
✵ xiao zhan ᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ [A] 3 years ago
@✵ wang yiboᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ Uh... a lot... let's see...
/furrows my brows together in my deep thought, trying to mentally count/
Like... six or seven. It's a small number, but when you think about how small this company is, it's pretty unnecessary
/tries not to get into my 'we're overstaffed' rant in the middle of a tender moment with you/
But most of them don't know how to work. It's quite busy for me and one of my seniors
✵ wang yibo ²⁰/²⁰ [A] 3 years ago
@xiao zhanᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ No wonder you were asking my about my schedule, huh Lao Xiao?
*wiggles my brows*
You had a surprise for me!
*steadies myself on my own feet again*
Maybe sometime in the future...but I'm curious, how many managers do we actually have at this company?
✵ xiao zhan ᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ [A] 3 years ago
@✵ wang yiboᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ /feeling my ears grow warm at your kiss, I try to brush it off fast/
/maneuvers you away from me again/
Hopefully within the next month. As soon as we finish negotiations, alright?
/finds myself smiling just as wide as you when you're happy, and tries to get you to sit again/
I wish. We'd get so much done.
✵ wang yibo ²⁰/²⁰ [A] 3 years ago
@xiao zhanᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ *touched that you can help me find so many opportunities, I lean in to hug you again*
I'm super happy! You're seriously the best!
*presses a kiss to your cheek daringly*
When does the contract begin Ge?
*sighs dreamily*
Seriously if only you were my manager!!!
✵ xiao zhan ᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ [A] 3 years ago
@✵ wang yiboᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ You deserve it
/tells you earnestly, still holding on to your arms/
I know the past few years have been difficult for you in the entertainment circle, so...
/trails off, shy when I have to admit I had solely done this in an attempt to be romantic/
I hope this makes you happy.
✵ wang yibo ²⁰/²⁰ [A] 3 years ago
@xiao zhanᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ *hugs you back, genuinely feeling high from the good news*
Wah Ge! I never expected to have an endorsement so soon!
*buzzes, wanting to share the news with Baekhyun*
You're so amazing, thank you!!
✵ xiao zhan ᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ [A] 3 years ago
@✵ wang yiboᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ /figuring it can't hurt to celebrate briefly with you, I stand too/
/pulls you in for a hug, patting your back in the most congratulatory-bro way I could, in case someone was watching/
Yes, I mean it!
/lets go of you, though my hands lingers over your elbows instead of letting go/
Aiyo, it wasn't just me. The rest of management agreed, too, that you'd be a perfect fit
/cuts out the part where the other part of management i consulted with was one other person/
✵ wang yibo ²⁰/²⁰ [A] 3 years ago
@xiao zhanᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ *my eyes widen when I hear about the endorsement*
*turns my entire body, excited*
What!? You mean it Gege?
*jumps up enthusiastically*
Gege you're the best!!
✵ xiao zhan ᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ [A] 3 years ago
@✵ wang yiboᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ /scrunches up my nose, wishing the news was that good/
Well… no…
/pushes at your shoulder to try and get you to settle/
I got you an endorsement deal!
/says it enthusiastically, hoping to get you to forget about transferring/
We’re still negotiating the salary and commission, of course, but you’re going to be the new face of Minute Maid for at least a year-
✵ wang yibo ²⁰/²⁰ [A] 3 years ago
@xiao zhanᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ *sighs and shakes my head*
But the girls are so lucky they have you
*raises a brow, looking at you curiously about what the good knews could be*
You're getting transferred Ge? Please say that'a true???
✵ xiao zhan ᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ [A] 3 years ago
@✵ wang yiboᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ Wish it was me too
/leans up against you affectionately, not daring to do any more while sitting in public/
But hey… good news-
/bites back a grin, waiting for you to guess/
✵ wang yibo ²⁰/²⁰ [A] 3 years ago
@xiao zhanᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ *laughs sheepishly*
My manager? For 24c? I don't think we've actually met...them yet
*scratches the nape of my neck and shrugs*
Wish it could be you...then I guess things would be more organized
✵ xiao zhan ᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ [A] 3 years ago
@✵ wang yiboᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ You guess?
/searches your eyes intuitively, looking for the lie/
What’s wrong?
/runs through a list of everything I find wrong with the company/
Is your manager not treating you well?
✵ wang yibo ²⁰/²⁰ [A] 3 years ago
@xiao zhanᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ *as we leisurely head back to my dorms, I just find myself enjoying your presence even if we aren't actively making conversation*
*once we take a seat, I am relieved you don't just leave me*
Mmm, good! I think I'm managing things pretty well. My schedules are...okay I guess
✵ xiao zhan ᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ [A] 3 years ago
@✵ wang yiboᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ /laughs, amused with your mind, and draws you close by the small of your back/
Okay. I’ll try not to think about it til then.
/arriving outside of the dorm building, I bring us to sit on a bench instead of bringing you back in/
How is everything? Training. Schedules.
✵ wang yibo ²⁰/²⁰ [A] 3 years ago
@xiao zhanᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ *nods shamelessly*
Exactly! I don't want you to look up the game or anything about it beforehand*
*takes another deep breath, feeling refreshed by the chilly air*
I don't hide things from you Ge, but just trust me on this!
✵ xiao zhan ᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ [A] 3 years ago
@✵ wang yiboᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ Are you trying to say I don’t like mindless games?
/raises a brow to give you a challenging state, though it was completely true/
/walking out into the cool air, I check on you to make sure you’re not cold/
What’s so secretive about it, huh? You never hide anything from me
✵ wang yibo ²⁰/²⁰ [A] 3 years ago
@xiao zhanᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ *laughs and wiggles a finger*
Can't tell you! It's a secret for now!
*remembers last time how we played Pubg, and you weren't particularly apt for it*
But you'll like it Ge, cuz you have to use your brain!
✵ xiao zhan ᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ [A] 3 years ago
@✵ wang yiboᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ A game?
/lets go of your hand when we reach the main floor/
What kind of game?
/asks dubiously, not having played games beyond Candy Crush and Hay Day/
✵ wang yibo ²⁰/²⁰ [A] 3 years ago
@xiao zhanᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ *hisses as I have to make a difficult decision between two yummy dishes*
Spare ribs then!
*exclaims after a while*
I'm going to bring a game over too, so we can play at night, okay Ge?
*plans excitedly, already wishing Friday was here*
✵ xiao zhan ᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ [A] 3 years ago
@✵ wang yiboᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ /on the quiet walk back to the dorm building, I just try to enjoy what little time I have with you/
When you come over on Friday, what do you want to eat?
/swings our arms playfully between us, taking advantage of the camera-free hallway/
I was thinking either tomato baked rice or braised spare ribs
✵ wang yibo ²⁰/²⁰ [A] 3 years ago
@xiao zhanᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ *given your confidence that there are no cameras around, i steal another kiss*
Okay, let's go then
*smiles and leads the way out, flicking the light off behind me*
*gives your hand a squeeze, this night being particularly rewarding though unplanned*
✵ xiao zhan ᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ [A] 3 years ago
@✵ wang yiboᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ /doesn't stop even when you ask, and slides my hand up to cup your cheek instead.
No, no cameras-
/tells you quietly, chasing after one more kiss before parting/
Alright, go time-
/offers you my hand, knowing there was no cameras all the way down to the lobby/
