Flowers of Despair || Haruto from TREASURE

twenty-four

March 29, 2022

Haruto looked at his watch impatiently and tapped his foot on the cold marble floor. He kept looking at the entrance of the YG Entertainment building to see who goes inside. Some employees have entered but none of them was the person he was waiting for. He took a quick peek on his phone and saw some useless notifications on it.

"Gosh, what time is she gonna arrive?" Haruto muttered to himself.

After a few more minutes of waiting, he saw her entering the building. "A-Ah, Manager Ayeong!" He chased after the older woman who stopped when she heard her name.

"Haruto? What do you need?" She asked him and fixed the strap of her sling bag.

"I need to talk to you about something." He told her.

She looked at him in confusion but they proceeded to walk towards the cafeteria of the building. They sat down on a table just nearby the entrance of the famous YG eating place.

"What is it you wanted to talk to me about?" She placed her bag down on the seat next to her.

Haruto let out a sigh. "It's about Princess... I mean Eunhye. Not Princess Huiying. About the club fiasco?"

"What about it?"

"With everything that's going on in her career right now I already have the feeling that you're either gonna suspend her from all future activities or terminate her contract here." Haruto said carefully. "I want to tell you about what happened cause I was there..."

Ayeong's eyes widened. "You went to the club with Eunhye?" She whisper-yelled.

"N-No! I picked her up because our etiquette instructor called me through her phone." He explained. "Her brother brought her there even if she wasn't allowed to, he uhm... threatened her of some sort if she didn't go but that's a family issue you know." He tried not to state too much despite knowing what it is.

She sighed and looked down at the table. "I didn't know that. I didn't get a chance to talk to Eunhye because management had a meeting for it already."

"And what did they say?"

"The first two things you mentioned were right. Suspension or termination. Even if I don't want to I'm not sure if I can change their minds."

"But can you please talk them out of it? Please. She did nothing wrong and it was a private matter that gave a different image of her. You can't suspend her by doing something she was just forced to do."

"I'm not sure about that, hopefully I can."

Haruto sighed. "Thank you, Manager Ayeong."

"But Haruto... I've never heard Eunhye mention anything about you. You two seem close."

"Ah, sort of. We became friends after the etiquette classes we took."

"Oh, I forgot you guys took that." She chuckled. "Thank you for looking out for her. You're a good friend."

"It's nothing." He chuckled.

"But uhm, lay low alright? No dating rumors for the two of you. Please. Dispatch has been targeting the two of you since this year started."

"Yes, we will."

"Okay, I'll be going now. Thank you for sharing this information with me." She stood up and shook Haruto's hand.

He stood up as well. "Bye, Manager Ayeong." He bowed to her as she left.
