*This chapter is pretty much all press conference. I thought I'd include it to answer some of the questions I've been getting from you guys in the form of a chapter. I hope you enjoy 💜

Luna fixed her shirt in the mirror for what had to be the 50th time as she watched the clock.

"Lu, relax Princess. Don't be so nervous okay. All the press that's here are here by invitation only. Trust Bighit and trust yourself," Joon says, massaging her tense shoulders.

"I don't know why I'm so nervous. This is huge but it's not like it's my first time with press," she sighs.

"What you're about to do is a big step in your career. It's normal to be nervous love," Jin says, kissing her forehead.

"He's right doll. Just take some deep breaths and relax. You got this. This is a celebratory day and you've never been unable to handle press. It'll be over before you know it," Linda says, squeezing one of her hands affectionately.

"Luna-ssi, it's time," Bang PD says, coming into the lounge they were waiting in.

She was passed around, receiving brief hugs and words of encouragement from her soulmates and parents, who would be cheering her on from the lounge as she signed her contract. Bighit had decided to make it public, complete with press—a brief conference to be held afterwards.

She'd been given the final draft of the contract a few days prior and had taken the time to read over it herself as well as send it to her personal lawyer in the states. After concluding everything was satisfactory, she and Bang PD had a Zoom meeting with Mr. Stringer, the CEO of SMA to discuss a business plan.

They decided that Sony would be mostly behind the scenes, distributing music as well as marketing her projects and that Bighit would be the "face" of her label—essentially doing all the legwork. Because of that, Bighit would receive a little over 10% more in profit than Sony.

"We're going to introduce ourselves first and then I'll explain what we're doing. You'll sign and then we'll have a brief conference after to answer the journalists' questions. To my understanding, only about 15 were invited and we've worked with them exclusively for a long time now. Everything will be over before you know it," Bang PD says, easing her nerves significantly.

Now that she knew what to expect, it was a little less daunting for her. She was most comfortable when there was structure.

Flanked by two security guards, the two make their way into the conference room and stand behind their seats. Luna and Bang PD smile for the cameras before picking up their microphones from the table.

"Hello, my name is Bang Si-hyuk, founder and CEO here at Bighit," Bang PD starts off.

"And my name is Song Kitana, stage name Luna, a music artist, fashion model, and executive here at Bighit," Luna finishes, bowing.

"We are ecstatic to have you here today. I am thrilled to announce that Luna, Bighit, and Sony Music America are coming together to bring you Galaxy records, a record label run by Luna herself. Not only will this be the first English label under Bighit, but also the first to be run by a female—both being phenomenal accolades that we feel will help our company grow. We have asked you to gather here today to witness the signing of the contract as well as ask any questions you have afterwards. Without further ado..." he says, pulling out Luna's seat for her.
