PRE-DEBUT

Two managers were lounging in the company’s café.

“What happened yesterday?? They fought again?” Manager 1 said as she placed two drinks on the table and sat across Manager 2.

Manager 2 nodded, “I heard there was a brawl in the parking lot and the guards had to pull them off of each other just to make them stop.”

“Eyy that’s too much! That’s probably exaggerated.”

“It’s true! Hanbin’s face is bruised! I saw earlier,” Manager 2 testified.

“What??” Manager 1 took a gulp from her drink, “And Jennie’s??”

“I haven’t seen her yet,”

“Damn. Those crazy kids,” Manager 1 shook her head in disbelief.

“I know right?”

“Shouldn’t they at least try to get along?” Manager 1 said with her arms crossed, “I mean, they’re still trainees. They shouldn’t cause so much trouble.”

“I’m just glad they’re not assigned to us. I actually wonder if word doesn’t get to sajangnim or he just ignores it since they’re both his favourite,”

“I heard their connections are enough to take care of them. And they have sajangnim’s favour now, too?” Manager 1 asked wide-eyed.

“I guess that’s how it works,” Manager 2 took a sip from her drink.

“He’s bound to do something about it somehow. Those two need intervention.” Manager 1 said.

Hanbin was heartbroken after parting ways with the girl he’s been seeing.

It happened right after the other day’s incident with Donghyuk being bullied.

He came to see her with flowers and she just dropped it on him.

Out of nowhere.

It was frustrating that he didn’t see it coming.

What did he do wrong?

He came to the company in such a bad mood that s didn’t bother trying to cheer him up.

He entered the first practice room in the hall and sat with his head down in the dark.

He felt like the world had crashed on him.

But there was so much to do. 

He couldn’t afford to be weighed down by this.

The lights were suddenly switched on.

“The room’s taken!” he called out without looking up.

The silhouette of the intruder stopped by the door.

The person didn’t move.

“Ya I said the room’s taken. Leave!” Hanbin ordered.<
