"I have an appointment with your CEO at 1." Hyojin told the receiptionist as soon as she walked in.

"Oh, you must be PD Ahn from KoreanMedia?" The receptionist quickly replied as she checked the schedule. "You can go to the second floor's waiting room." 

"Thank you." Hyojin smiled and they both bowed at each other before Hyojin rode the elevator to the second floor. She then walked in to the said waiting room, being familiar with the building since it's not her first time walking around the building.

"Welcome, PD Ahn. My name is Lee Ganghwa and I'll be attending you while we wait for the CEO. He's currently in a meeting with a few employees." Ganghwa introduced herself and invited Hyojin to sit. "Would you like coffee?"

"Sure." Hyojin smiled and the lady walked out for a while before appearing again with three cups of coffee. "CEO Moon is on the way."

Not even a few minutes later, the door pushed opened and both Hyojin and Ganghwa stood up in respect to the newcomer. "Sit down, please." He smiled as he invited the two ladies to take their seat.

"So I heard from my officer that you're actually producing a new show?" CEO Moon asked directly as soon as they sat down. "And it's about idol?"

"Yeah." Hyojin smiled wider. "In fact, I am here today to recruit one of your artist to my show." She admitted.

"You're very straightforward. That what's I like about you." CEO Moon chuckled. "If it's my artist and it's a dating show, it's must be Rina, am I right?" 

"Yes, and just to be sure, I actually have PD Go in a videocall with Representative Kang in Startship." Hyojin replied as she switched on her tab and they were connected in instant since the two had been on call as soona s they stepped in the respective company.

"You two are really something." CEO Moon commented in amusement as Hyungmin bowed at him at the big screen as Ganghwa connected her tab to the LCD.

"Good afternoon, CEO Moon. I'm PD Go hyungmin and I'm working together with PD Ahn." Hyungmin bowed slightly in greeting. "Currently I am with Representative Kang in Starship."

"CEO Moon, how are you?" Representative Kang smiled.

"Same old." CEO Moon replied.

"Good afternoon, Representative Kang. Thak you for making time for both of us." Hyojin greeted him formally.

"You don't have to be that frmal, Hyojin-ssi. I thought we worked together for quite a long time already?" Representative Kang commented and Hyojin just smiled.

They then started presenting and discussing briefly about the program before the door in the meeting room opened. "Good afternoon, everybody. I'm Pandora Rina." Rina walked in, followed by her manager.

"Come in, Rina. Good thing you come here personally." CEO Moon commented just as the door on the other side also opened, revealing Mayhem's manager.

"Hello." He bowed to all of them before taking his seat. "Donghyun is having a personal schedule so he couldn't come. I will convey the message to him instead." 

They then continued their discussion in depth as they weigh the pro and cons of their artist participating in the said show.

"Honestly, I have no objection." CEO Moon told them. Both of them are old enough to decide whther they want to participate in the show or not."

"I have the same thought with CEO Moon." Representative Kang agreed. "Why don't you two talk it out and decide?"

"Then, we will wait for the good news hopefully?" Hyojin ended tehir discussion. Everyone agreed and end their discussion.

"This is the last for today, right?" Hyungmin asked as they followed the receptionist to the meeting room.

"Wonjin just called me, they agreed to meet us for dinner tonight." Hyojin told him.

"It will be paid by the company, right?" Hyungmin joked.

"Nope, I will personally pay for it." Hyojin smiled lightly.

"You should. You're that guilty." Hyungmin nodded teasingly and Hyojin just shrugged him off.

"CEO Lee is expecting you in his office instead." The receptionist told them before knocking the door. They both walked in as soon as they were invited and sat down inf ront of the middle-aged CEO. 

"You're here for the new idol dating show, right?" CEO Lee asked as Hyojin prepared tehir presentation. "We should wait for a while, both Kangmin and Seoju is on their way here."

"They will personally join our briefing?" Hyungmin question in amusement.

"Of course. They should know what they're being offered." CEO Lee replied. Not long after, the door was knocked from outside.

"Come in!" CEO Lee answered and Kangmin walked in, followed by Seoju. 

"Hello." Kangmin bowed and shook hands with the two while Seoju just bowed politely to them.

"Have a seat both of you." CEO Lee invited and the two took a seat opposite to the producers. "They reason I call both of you here because the producer are actually offering you to participate in a new idol dating show. Honestly, I don't really mind since both of you have been debuted for quite a while and have a steady fanbase. I'm sure you both can make a wise decision."

"I'm so tired I'm sure I can even fall asleep while eating later." Hyungmin whined as tehy walked inside the restaurant.

"Then I suggest you call a substitute driver to drive your car instead." Hyojin chuckled as they were being showed to their seat. The waiter served them a glass of water each before their guest finally arrived.

"I'm surprised that you actually called us first." Jina stated as soon as they exchanged greetings and made their respective orders.

"I'm more surperised that you actually agreed to meet." Hyungmin chimed in.

"Don't mind him. He's drunk." Hyojin smiled.

"But I haven't even drink." Hyungmin commented but no one actually paid attention to him as they chatted about trivial stuffs.

"Actually, I would like to meet both of you personally to offer you to be the MC for my new dating show. We're recruiting idol who are dating publicly to our show." Hyojin told them.

"You've gone far, don't you?" Jina chuckled. "I still remember the day I actually broke down in front of you with my CEO and manager asking you to take down your article about me dating Jungmin."

"I know, right." Hyoin chuckled as well. "You must be hating me since I didn't take it down. I even wrote more articles about you, instead." 

"Honestly?" Jina snorted. "I hate you so much. I was on my wit's end and my career seem like it's going to end. There were so many hate comments."

"Yeah, she even ask for break up." Jungmin chimed in.

"But I'm glad you didn't." Hyojin sincerely told them.

"I'm glad I hold on too. Now that we're both already away from the limelight, we're happy that we actually found each other." Jungmin agreed.

"Yeah, I felt guilty, but that was my first job. I can't do anything about it." Hyojin told them. "I'm just gald everything was fine for you. That's why I changed my job, I guess. I feel remorsed about what happened."

"We should thank you too, honestly. If you didn't write about us, no one would know about us and so many people still supported us until now." Jina told her.

"So, about the offer..." Hyojin smiled. "We can talk about that since we passed the apology part, right?"

"Why don't you come to the new season of SBDD instead?" Hyungmin piped in.

"One project at a time, Go Hyungmin." Hyojin grunted and they all laughed.
