"Hyunwoo, Anika Anand, my partner," Heejae introduced the two people before the meeting began. They shook hands, taking their seats and diving into the details of the shoot immediately.

Hyunwoo had his own company, separate from his father's, of fitness and health care products. The items they were launching were a new, improvised version of their protein powder and supplements that went with it.

Heejae felt quite confident about the shoot since they had done a few of the same kind in the past. Maybe, not for such a big company as Han biotech but still, she had the knowledge.

They continued discussing the outline of the shoot, the tagline Hyunwoo wanted to go with. They also spent a better half of their time deciding the colour scheme. Something new, fresh but still connected to the previous packaging of the product.

"Do you have any specific person to do this advertisement for you?" Anika asked as they neared the end of the meeting. Hyunwoo's serious face broke out in a shy smile. "I was thinking if I could do the advertisement myself. Would it be a good idea?"

"If you have the built for it and are willing to go shirtless, sure," Heejae answered without hesitation, her eyes immediately going to his chest, which strained against his white formal shirt. Hyunwoo chuckled, his hand patting his chest and stomach as if in reassurance. "I still have my abs and I'm working out regularly, so it won't be a problem."

The two women nodded in understanding sharing a somewhat heated glance. They seemed to communicate through eyes, telling each other, this shoot was going to be amazing in more than one ways.

Leave it to the friends to turn everything dirty even in serious meetings like this.

"So, if that's decided, should we go over everything once again?" Heejae asked, looking at the four people, from different departments of Hyunwoo's company, in their eyes. They nodded in agreement, opening up their notepads to cross check.

"You guys continue," Anika said, getting up. "I have a call to make to see if arrangements for our next meeting are done." Heejae nodded, signalling her assistant to pay attention.

The cross checking was done rather quickly, the employees eager to take their leave and start on with a new task. Hyunwoo stood up, making Heejae stand up as well.

"Heejae-shi, I have a favor to ask if you don't mind," He asked, almost afraid to make the request. Heejae gave him a warm smile in return. "Sure. Ask away."

"I would like it if you oversee this project personally. The last time, I didn't have much luck and the editing was horrible. I had to suffer some loss but I trust you and I'd be stress free if you look after everything."

"Don't worry, Hyunwoo-shi," she replied, rubbing his arm comfortingly. "I'll take care of everything. You just make sure your abs don't disappear." She playfully punched his abs, making the man laugh and catch her hand in his.

The laughter in her eyes dissipated as she felt his larger hand close around her wrist. She looked up, watching his eyes soften. "Don't do things like this, Heejae. There are eyes everywhere. We belong to well known families. I'm sure you don't want to be in the headlines because of a dating rumour."

She laughed, as fake as it might get and took a step away from the tall man. He let go of her wrist almost immediately, a apology right on the tip of her tongue. But he beat her to it.

"Don't apologise now," he said, casually buttoning up his blazer. "I know you didn't mean anything by it. But if you did mean something, you know my number." And he left, however, not before winking cheekily at the stunned woman.

What the hell just happened?

"We don't have the whole day, Jae," Anika said from behind her, startling Heejae, her voice ringing with urgency as she gathered her things. "It's a good thing we have the next meeting in Gangnam but that doesn't mean we won't find traffic. It's getting late."

The reminder of the next meeting didn't let Heejae think much about what happened with Hyunwoo. Instead, her mind went to another man. A pale man who was famous for spitting fire with his rap skills.

Another project with BTS, this time for a sports wear brand. The brand was in contract with H&A film studio, all of their promotions managed by a team of the filming studio. And when it came to high list celebrities like BTS, the founders had to personally oversee the whole process.

Against Anika's judgement, the two women and their assistants arrived at the entertainment company rather quickly. They greeted a delegate from the sports wear company outside the building, conversing as they went inside, flashing their ID cards.

The first meeting was held with the wardrobe and styling team. They went over who would wear which clothing item, the stylists immediately coming up with different makeup and hair style ideas, familiar to the idols' preferences.

They finished with deciding the date of shoot, which unfortunately clashed with the project for Han biotech. The two women decided on spot that Heejae would handle the other project while Anika would look over BTS's project.

When everything was settled, everyone decided it was time to take a break after the four hour long discussion and continue the rest after the members were done with their practice and recordings.

Heejae fell down on a couch in the room, groaning. "I've never been this tired before. We are out, planning and talking to people non-stop since noon. What did we get ourselves into?"

Anika laughed, plopping down beside her friend and checked her phone. "Ask me what I got myself into," she said showing her the number of times her mother had called her.

Before Heejae could say anything, her words got cut off, for the second time in the day as the door opened and a man peaked in. His lips were curved in an inviting smile, his eyes almost closed because of his big smile.

"Hello, PD-nim and Anika," he said, his voice a little breathy as he said the other woman's name. "We are having dinner. Would you like to join us?"

"Yes, absolutely!" Heejae exclaimed happily, getting up, completely oblivious to the stares the other two people in the room were sharing.
