Read 'em and Weep! {NA JAEMIN}

ONE

He really did like 'flight of the wolves,' but he needed the positive reception from his job. Johnny had been grilling Jaemin for a while regarding how to write, and Jaemin really needed this job for the time being.

"So, Taeyong recently got a promotion," Johnny spoke casually now, leaning in closer to Jaemin.

"Oh, that's great for him," Jaemin smiled, confused as to why Johnny was telling him this. Taeyong was a Senior Editor like Johnny, so it was strange from Johnny to bring this up to Jaemin.

"Yep, so that means a Senior Copywriter position will be opening up soon. If a certain someone," he raised his eyebrows then, "can help GameLabs be the first ones to figure out the Patches identity before they post the last chapter of their comic, I would recommend this person for the position."

Jaemin let out a small oh then, realizing what Johnny meant now. Jaemin did not wish to stay at GameLabs long term, however, having a Senior Copywriter position would help him land the job he wasaiming for- a photographer for 'Sports Artistry.' They wanted 'well rounded' photographers, so with Jaemin's bachelor's in photography and a Senior Copywriting position at such a young age, this might be exactly the break he needed.

"Consider that someone to be on the case."

You, on the other hand, were in a meeting with Kun, having to listen to him go on a rant about how obnoxious the article had been.

"The Patches social media is in complete disarray," Kun repeated for the third time in a thirty minute span.

"Hendery's working on the shading, he should be done in about two to three weeks," you were trying to go through your own agenda for this chat. You had a few different things to do today, and the lastthing you wanted to focus on was one article.

"Perfect. Are you still planning to reveal yourself at the WizMedia Con at the end of the year?" Kun asked, likely looking down at his own notes. You purse your lips. While a big reason you didn't want people to know your identity was indeed because of your parents, it wasn't the only reason. The way people treated women comic artists was already unkind- but it was leagues worse when it was known they wrote action stories like your own.

"Is that a good idea with this current article?" maybe you could use Kun's irritation to buy extra time and avoid the idea of revealing your identity.

"Hopefully by the time the con comes around, that article should be irrelevant. So?" Kun's voice hung over the video call and you cringed.

"I still have to think about it," you admitted, earning a groan from Kun.

"You're killing me here!"

"Hey! I've gotten WizMedia thousands of sales in the past two years and am still under contract to produce at least one more series," you countered, rubbing your temples to soothe the headache that wanted to form so early in the morning.

"Do you know how much more in sales Wiz could make if the public knew who your parents were?" Kun mused.

"Soon, okay? I have work to do, we'll talk later," and with that you ended the work call, groaning loudly.

"So work isn't going well huh?" Swan stood under your doorframe, sincerity in her tone. You shook your head in response, exhausted.

"This'll all blow over soon. You should fight that Jaemin guy though," Ireh popped up from behind her, earning a laugh from you and Swan.

"He's allowed to post his opinions, but geez some of these people are just so mean," you huffed.

"Yeah, the amount of people I've reported for you due to harassment is insane," Swan affirmed.
