Girls' Generation's Tiffany and 2PM's Nichkhun go public with their relationship 

  "Nichkhun and Tiffany were friendly even before their debuts. From what I know, they have been dating for four months. Because of their familiarity with American culture, they went from friends to lovers as they were able to support each other in difficult times.”   Sport Seoul 2014        SM Entertainment Corporate Meeting Room April 2 2015   The SM building is currently in chaos right now. Reporters are hounding every people entering the building. Phones in every department have been ringing non-stop. Netizens are flooding the official Twitter account with questions.   Kim Young Min, SM's CEO, announced for an emergency meeting with the Board Members, Talent Managers, PR officers, Legal dept. BOA, Kangta and SNSD's Hyoyeon and Tiffany. They were called early in the morning due to the widespread rumor regarding Hyoyeon's alleged physical assault that happened last March 30.   According to some sources, Hyoyeon's ex-boyfriend reported her for physical assault that happened in one of their friends home. There are also other speculations about her committing suicide due to bullying by SNSD members. Others have stated that Hyoyeon is joking around (suicidal incident) and it just got complicated due to her ex-boyfriend's filing for a police report.   "Do you really think that there is bullying incident in our group?", Hyoyeon is looking at their CEO with displeased. "Another thing I didn't do such a thing (suicide). It's that stupid Jay who's a liar. He can't live up with the fact that I broke up with him so he made up some stories and reported me to the police. My friends can attest to that."   "So Hyoyeon-ssi are you saying that there is no truth on those rumors?", Mr. Choi, one of the board asks.   "No.", she firmly answers.    "But we have clarified to the police about it and they stated that yes there are reports regarding about you.", Ms. Kwon, another one of the board says.   "As what I have said a while ago, it's just a made up story.", Hyoyeon heavily sighs.   "The rumors are getting out of hand. Even if we released a statement with Hyoyeon-ssi's explanation. No would believe us.", EXO's manager commented.   "Mr. Kang is right. People won't believe in anything that we would say. They'll just start spreading rumors that we are just saving ourselves from the rumors regarding Mr. LSM tax evasion.", Super Junior Manager says.   "Right now our stocks are deteriorating due to the incident. Kim Sajangnim we need to cover this rumor with something and at the same time increase our stocks again.", one of the female board informs everyone.   Kim Young Min deeply sighed and look at the faces in the room. He can sense that half of the board members are getting impatient with SM's continuing scandals and its downgrading stocks while the other half are concerned about SNSD fame and status.   "So do you have any suggestions?", his authoritarian voice echoed around the room.   "How about we release Super Junior's single earlier?", Red Velvet's manager suggested.   Super Junior's manager look at him with horrified. "No! I won't let you risks their single. Why don't you released another one from your group?", he said sarcastically.   "What are you getting aggravated at? I'm just putting up a suggestion.", he scoff at his co-manager.   "Both of you stop this senseless argument!", Young Min soft but coldly reprimand the two managers.    "How about we release an official statement about Stephanie-ssi and Nichkhun-ssi dating scandal?", the head PR suggested.   "What? You can't do that!", Tiffany looks at the old man who suggested it.   "Let me hear about it Mr. Lee.", CEO Kim looks at him with full attention.   "Sajangnim!", Tiffany stands up from her seat but immediately sits after he glared at her.   "Ehem- A dating scandal can cause an uproar between fans. Some may take it on a positive side while the others are not. But with Ms. Hwang and Mr. Horvejkul case the fans might rejoice with the news.", he stated.   "In what way can you say that their fandom would take it that easy?, BOA asks him directly.   "SNSD and 2PM are considered as a senior group. They've been in the industry for many years with that I can say that their fans are mostly mature enough to accept the fact that their idols are at the right age to start dating." Tiffany can see that most of the boards are attentively listening to his suggestion which makes her really nervous.   "Aside from that it's an open secret to the industry and to the fans. They are already speculating about them since 2010, with most of them already accepting them as a couple and just waiting for our confirmation."; he concluded.   "And do you think it's large enough to cover Hyoyeon-ah issue?", Kangta butted in.   "I guess it's large enough to cover the issue. An idol from a famous group dating another famous idol will cause a huge uproar. Especially with what Mr. Lee have stated, this rumor is something that the fans have been wondering for years.", Ms. Kwon answers him.   "Then the medias and the fans would rather talk about their past hints and their dating lives than a rumor that was only started by some netizen.", another board back them up.   "So this settles the issue. We would allow Sports Seoul to release the photos that they are holding on tomorrow.", CEO Kim announces.   "Don't I have any right to say anything about this?", Tiffany stands up from her seat and look at their CEO. "Sajangnim I already informed you that Nichkhun and I already broke up. And we're not even on the same frame of that picture. No one would believe you."   "So do you have any suggestion Stephanie-ssi?", he menacingly look at her.   "Ah how about Taeyeon and Baekhyun?", she nervously suggested.   "Sorry to say this Tiffany-ssi but I wouldn't allow you to use any of the EXO's member.", EXO's manager is clearly against the suggestion.   "-uh how about Victoria unnie and Changmin Oppa? Or Minho and Krystal? Or Sungmin oppa's enlistment? Or Hae Oppa and Seohyun? Or-"   "Stop it Hwang Tiffany!", CEO Kim glares at her.   "Sajangnim?", her voice is quivering and she's near to crying. But stop herself from doing so, because she won't let herself cry in front of this person. Her manager and Hyoyeon gently pull her back to sit.   "This is a problem that your group member has cause. Do you think that those idols and their manager would allow theirselves to be a cover up? And do you really think that I would allow 2 artists in my company to have their name sullied? No offense Stephanie-ssi. I'm not saying that you are not important to the company but releasing a statement about 2 idols dating within the company can damage our reputation.", he sighs.    "We have 2 options now: first will announce Byun Baekhyun and Kim Taeyeon relationship."   "What? Sajangnim!", the EXO manager looks at him with disbelief.   "Second will be Tiffany and JYP's Nichkhun. If JYP will support our confirmation.", CEO Kim stresses the word.    "Managers inform your talents about this meeting. Set their minds about the upcoming event. My secretary will inform you not later this afternoon about the talk that will happen between me and JYP. Ms. Park inform Park Jin Young about this and tell him to call as soon as he's ready. This meeting is adjourn.", he stand up from his seat.   All of the board members and the managers stand up from their seats. Some of them give Tiffany a sympathetic look. Hyoyeon on the other hand is comforting Tiffany and once again starts saying how much sorry she is for dragging her in the mess.   "Miss Hwang, CEO Kim wants to talk to you in private.", Ms. Park, CEO Kim's assistant called her.   Tiffany stand up from her seat but not without giving Hyoyeon a tap on the shoulder.   "It's alright Hyo. Don't you dare blame yourself about this.", she gives her a warm smile before following Ms. Park.   "Stephanie."   "Yes Sajangnim?", she looks at her CEO who's standing straight in front of her.   "Take a seat Tiffany.", he orders her.   The room become quiet with only the sound of the clock ticking can be heard. Tiffany felt more nervous with every second that she's sitting in front of one of the most influential people in Korea.   "I hope that you'll understand the situation right now. The company is in a big problem. Scandals and rumors are affecting our current standing.", CEO Kim started. "I know that I shouldn't talk to you about this problem. But I have to tell you this since you will be use as a pawn for this industry.", he frankly says.   "Sajangnim how sure are you that JYP Sajangnim will allow the now nonexistent relationship to be confirmed?", she stops her CEO from saying too much about the dirty world of the KPop industry. She's also curious on the way the CEO talks. It's as if he's pretty sure that JYP would allow the confirmation to happen.   CEO Kim sternly look at her. "Because his company is in a big stock meltdown. His groups are not doing well for the past few months even Cube Ent. stocks are higher than him."   "I'm sure that once he learns about this he'll   definitely agree. He needs positive rumors now and after seeing the successful acceptance of fans in SNSD's dating scandal. He'll never think twice.", the CEO continues with his back facing Tiffany while looking outside the window.   "Sajangnim Please not me. I want to start anew with Seunghyun.", Tiffany tries to plead to her CEO.   The CEO heave a sigh before looking back at Tiffany. "Have you forgotten what you have said Stephanie?"     "Yes. I'm trying to be happy Sajangnim. Please help me cover this up.", she pleads at him.   Kim Young-Min needs to cover this scandal or everything about SNSD will be put on waste. "Dispatch is asking for 5 million won to keep this picture out of the public's eye."   Tiffany's eyes widen. She can't believe that Dispatch will be asking that much just for some pictures.    "We'll pay for those since 50 million won is just a small amount. But Stephanie don't do anything reckless again.", CEO Kim reminds her.   "Yes Sajangnim! I'll do everything that I can to repay the 5 million won. I'll work doubly hard until my contract ends and I'll help the company in everything that I can do. I owe you a lot Sajangnim.", Tiffany bows her head. She's really grateful that her CEO helps her.     "Stephanie! You know that you still owe me a gratitude for what I had done for you.", he looks at Tiffany with seriousness.   "I know that Sajangnim and I never forgot about it. But please not this time around Sajangnim.", she feels really pathetic crying right now in front of her CEO.   Kim Young-Min looks at his talent with pity but he's still a businessman. He's top priority right now are the thousand of people's working under him.    "I suggest that you pray to the heavens that Park JinYoung won't accept this deal.", Kim Young-Min tells her.       PanAsia Restaurant Sinsadong, South Korea  March 21 2014   Tiffany hurriedly drive to the restaurant
