"De1's Joo and CLC's Yeeun got married on WGM"

That was a viral headline for the past two weeks. Only two episodes of this couple have aired on TV and they have already became very popular. The clues about her were ridiculous. I will explain it another day.

Right now, I'm standing in front of the Cube Entertainment building.

Manager : Are you scared?

Jinho : Not at all.

Manager : You might run into other singers. It might get awkward for you.

Jinho : Well, I don't plan staying here for very long. We go in for the meeting and we leave.

Manager : But if the meeting goes well, you don't have a choice.

Due to recent popularity, Cube Entertainment proposed to LightUp a collaboration stage performance with CLC. I'm here as a representative of De1 to attend the meeting regarding the proposal. I can't believe I'm here instead of Joo. He's probably on a date with Yeeun right now.

As I walk into the building, the lobby had a similar feel to LightUp's lobby area, except that it looks different. Manager-nim went to the counter.

Manager : Excuse me, we're here for the 11 a.m. meeting with Mr. Choi.

Receptionist : Ah yes. He is waiting for you on the 3rd Floor Meeting Room. Here are your guest cards. Please keep them with you at all times. You can take the elevator to your right.

Manager : Thank you very much.

Manager-nim passed me one of the guest cards. We took the elevator up to the 3rd Floor. Once we got there, there were very noticable signs that shows the location of the meeting room. After following the path, we finally see a man sitting alone in a room. That has to be him.

Manager : Mr. Choi?

Mr. Choi : Good morning. Yes, that's me. Please come in.

We took our seats and kept our focus. Our job here is not to agree to anything, but instead, gather information on this proposal and pass the contract to the top management of LightUp. They will make the final call.

After half an hour through the meeting, Mr. Choi looked at me.

Mr. Choi : Jinho-ssi?

Jinho : Yes?

Mr. Choi : The rest of the stuff I want to talk about are very small details. The other girls of CLC are in the practice room downstairs. Why don't you go say hi to them?

Jinho : It's okay. I have to be here to remember everything we discuss on.

Manager : Jinho, I have everything written down. You should go get to know them instead.

They were both looking at me. I guess I have no choice.

Jinho : Huh... okay. I'll be back in half an hour.

I left the room and went down the staircase. I stopped halfway to take out my phone. I needed to send a text message.

Jinho : Dahyun, I need help! How should I greet Joo's sisters-in-law?

After a while, I got a reply.

Dahyun : What? Your meeting's today? Just say hi to them. Then, tell them your reason for visiting. I'm sure they're nice people.

So simple. I expected that from Dahyun. That's why I texted her. Now, I feel a lot more confident to meet CLC.

As I looked from the glass door of the practice room, there were four girls sitting down on the floor, talking to each other. It must be
