'...Wow,.'

And he opened his mouth.

"Is he doing that on purpose?"

Although it feels refreshing to cover it in front of everyone, after Seo Hoyun, who has a dirty personality, leaves, I don't know what kind of aftermath will come to Lee Jihyeon.

In addition, if Lee Jihyeon, who is now standing on the cliff, cannot withstand that restraint...

"Crazy, political idol child...."

The team leader looked at Seo Hoyun's back with a disgusted expression, but he still felt uneasy.

Will Seo Hoyu endure this?

It doesn't make sense.

The team leader, who thinks that he has very good eyes and intuition, can assert with all the years he has gone through.

That guy is definitely not someone who can endure something like this.

At this moment, it feels strangely calm, like the calm before the storm, so the team leader felt very uneasy.

"...Lee Jihyeon."

"Yes."

"Should I go down and buy coffee?"

The team leader didn't want to lose Lee Jihyeon, who is good at his job, and didn't want to face this dangerous storm, so he decided to take the best course of action.

To treat Lee Jihyeon well.

"Yiyeol...."

I stroked my chin.

"There must be a reason why the team leader came up."

He does his job properly and is also very quick-witted.

Standing on the second floor railing of the company, I drank lemonade through a straw and bought coffee from the cafe in the opposite building. There, the team leader who was buying coffee for Lee Jihyeon was there.

Lee Jihyeon was drinking coffee without even smiling with a sharp gaze.

"He definitely has a resignation letter with him."

No doubt about it.

Even ordinary employees keep their resignation letters in hidden folders, so it wouldn't be strange for someone like him to keep it in his heart.

I expected to have a reality check at this point, and sure enough.

I turned my body and organized my thoughts while sipping on the straw and crushing the ice.

"The bait was successfully thrown."

Now the key is who will take the bait.

I recalled the planning team members I saw today.

The CEO recently stepped back from the front line and only approved the final decisions, and the management team handled the work faster than expected.

As for the A&R team, Kang Ichae, who is quick-witted and doesn't cross the line, is communicating well. The PR team is okay because they have actor management as a side dish....

"The most corrupt place is the planning team."

I can't grasp anything here. Even though it was a specialized entertainment company, I couldn't help but admire the people who kept making empty promises.

I wondered if they wouldn't get caught even if they openly embezzled their salaries like that.

Anyway, even if the only gem in there, Lee Jihyeon, wanted to quit, I had no intention of letting her go easily.

"Do we let a rolling pumpkin slip away?"

"Hmm."

In the first place, in a small company like this, the system was to operate with a fist and there was no distinction between newcomers or anyone with ability.

"Well, if you give them a position and create a pretext, it should be fine."

But now, as a rookie who had just debuted for 2 years, even if I said it, it would only be seen as a power abuse and the planning team wouldn't even listen, let alone the CEO, so I had to carefully plan my moves.

"Hyun-hyung!"

"Hmm?"

"Oh, you finished early??"

Although he had become an adult, Jeong Dajun, who couldn't change in just one day, was as cheerful as ever. I opened the door for him who was about to run into the recording studio.

"Be careful, Dajun."

"Huh? Okay."

Jeong Da-jun, who was happily skipping, rolled his eyes at me in front of the door and muttered something.

"What's wrong?"

"What?"

Inside the recording studio, I saw the members who were already listening to the recording of the Japanese debut song.

"Oh! You went to the cafe too, Hoyun?"

"Huh? Where's your sense? Why didn't you buy me one?"

"Hey, what do you want from Seo Hoyun?"

Kang Ichae, who was lying on the sofa, stood up and threw his hat, exaggeratingly.

That bastard seems to be just trying to provoke...

"Can you buy it while you're at it?"

As soon as I responded obediently, the members who were adding one word at a time fell silent.

Among them, Kim Sung-hyun blinked his eyes with an unbelievable face and finally confessed one thing.

"...Actually, I can't drink caffeine."

"You didn't drink Red Bull yesterday, Seonhyeon?"

"...Oops."

It was immediately clear that it was a fake.

Seeing Kim Seonhyeon subtly turn his gaze away from his words, Sung Jiwon handed me a piece of paper.

"Anyway, Hoyun. We translated the lyrics for this. I've organized the ones that will be included as the title track. Can you take a look?"

"Sure, give it to me."

Sipping on my straw, I sat down next to Kang ichae and skimmed through the paper.

Honestly, it was much better than the trashy proposal I saw earlier, so I gave an honest evaluation.

"You wrote it beautifully."

"...."

"Who did it? It's neat."

And once again, we fell into silence.

"Did you just call it a pretty piece of garbage?"

"No, I just said it was written beautifully."

"Oh...."

Whether it was a strong reaction or not, I took the straw out of my cup and chewed on the ice.

Kim Seonghyeon, watching me, covered his mouth with both hands.

"I've been thinking about it since last time, Seo Hoyun...."

What?

"Why...."

"...."

"Why did you suddenly become affectionate?"

"Uwaaaah!!!"

Jeong Dajun screamed in genuine horror and quickly retreated to a corner of the recording studio.

"Don't, don't, don't say it out loud!"

"That kind of thing! Let's just keep it in our hearts!"

Damn it....

Affectionate Seo Hohyun, Me ? Is that even possible to say?

A word I've never heard before in my life....

"Affectionate Seo Ho-yoon? Is it even possible to say that?"

After giving Jeong Da-jun a good scolding for banging on the table and saying, "Let's settle things with Hohyun hyung today," I buried myself deep into the sofa.

"Are you really the same Seo Hoyun who complained about being disrespectful to your parents?"

"Are you the same person who didn't even blink an eye and treated others with disdain?"

"I sometimes miss the early days when my hyun's personality ruined mine..
...."

"Shut up, just say one verse...."

"Phew, no! Stop!"

Kang ihae smiled and brushed off his chest.

Even now, my personality is messed up enough, so don't worry.

"I find your prickliness charming~."

"I know, you brat."

I had decided to be kind to this youngster as a New Year's celebration, but clearly I  gave up and will  returned to my usual self.

"Show me your work, Kang ichae."

"Yay~."

Kang ichae, who said it was okay to curse at him, pushed his aptop towards me.

"Hyung~, take a look~."

It was a new Japanese debut track.
