"You may enter, Ms. Jung.", the staff manager said from behind his desk. I slowly closed the door and bowed. "Please take a seat." 

I sat down. Even though I told the guys that I was okay, I couldn't help but feel nervous. My future was at stake. Who wouldn't be nervous in such a situation?

"Ms. Jung.", he said, pulling me out of my thoughts. I looked up expectantly. "I assume that you know why I wanted to talk to you?"

"Yes, it's about the probation period."

"Well, partly. There's another matter."

What? "A-another matter?"

The staff manager kept staring at me. "Ms. Jung, what exactly happened in Japan? I've read about it but I want to hear your version.", he said after a while.

Oh, crap. I didn't expect this. "I...I...uhm...", I stammered.

He frowned. "Let me put it this way. Are you and Wooyoung-ssi romantically involved?"

I looked down. "Yes." No point in denying it.

The staff manager sighed. "This is going to be problematic."

No no no! It couldn't end this way. "I promise that I will do my best and don't let this affect my job. Please don't fire me."

The staff manager just stared at me for what seemed like an eternity. "Ms. Jung...I know your potential. You may be young and inexperienced but you have talent. That I can see."

"So does this mean..."

"You will get a permanent place."

YES! I couldn't believe it! I got a permanent place!

I couldn't help but smiling. "Thank you so much! I -"

"Ms. Jung." I stopped when the staff manager raised his hand to indicate me to be silent. "I think you misunderstood. You'll get a permanent place. But it's not as you think."

I was confused. "I'm sorry but what do you mean?"

"I mean that you'll get a permanent place because of your potential but you can't continue working with us. Especially with 2PM."

"So I'm going to work with other artists from this label...?"

"No."

Huh? What the heck?

"I'm sorry but I still don't get it."

"Okay, let me put it this way. You will get a permanent job as a stylist. You will continue working as a stylist for idols. Just not with us. Not with this record label."

"Then..."

"Ms. Jung, you're going to be transferred."
