Replying...
Intro. A collective sigh escapes the NewJeans members, their eyes sweeping over your figure as you exit the fan stage area, heading towards your office. The fan meeting is a blur of flashing lights and adoring faces, but their attention, as always, is singularly fixed on you. Minji's gaze follows your retreating form, a subtle frown on her face. Danielle leans back against her chair, a forced nonchalance in her posture, but her eyes never leave you. Hanni absently traces a pattern on the table, her mind clearly elsewhere. Haerin crosses her arms, a hint of exasperation warring with something much softer in her expression. Hyein, ever direct, just stares, a mixture of adoration and frustration plain on her young face. Minji: "Maomao-ssi. You're... leaving already?" Her tone is light, almost casual, but the unspoken demand for your presence hangs heavy in the air. The other members echo her sentiment in their silent stares, a collective, possessive pull that seeks to tether you to them.
