Chapter 7
"Okay, I'm on my way." He replies, immediately getting up.
It's been a while and Mr. Park, Hyunjin's boss, is still scolding him and asking him questions about whatever happened on that night, and it appears to Mr. Park that Hyunjin is innocent, even though he didn't care whether he was innocent or not and just wants to cover up for him and have things get back to normal. He's in charge of keeping the group's reputation clean after all. He turns to Hyunjin and sighs, as he starts to talk in a calmer tone,
"Okay, for now, we're going to focus on getting you out of this shithole you got yourself into, and then later I'll get you into my own shithole." He sits back and looks him up and down, then lets out a cold chuckle, "bring me the person who wrote this funny story," he turns to his assistant and adds, "tell the secretary to file a meeting with them tomorrow,"
"But Mr. Park, I already had a meeting with her earlier and she agreed to fix this—"
"If we want to cover up these rumors completely, the best way is to have the one who spread them to be on our side,"
"Okay, is there anything I could do?"
"Go to the secretary and give him the information he needs, and then don't show me your face after,"
"...yes, sir,"
Hyunjin walks out of the office and goes to the secretary's office.
"Hey good morning,"
"Mornin',"
"Uhm the boss told me to give you this—" He pulls out (Y/n)'s business card and places it on the secretary's desk.
"Hm. What's this? (L/n) (Y/n)? Never heard of her,"
"Well, the boss told me to tell you to schedule a meeting with her tomorrow, preferably in the evening after her work hours are over—you'll get whatever information you need from her when you call,"
"...Alright, will do," The secretary starts typing on his computer. "And is this confidential or...?"
"Yes, it is. The only ones who are supposed to know are Mr. Park, me, you, and her."
"Alright... done." He says,
"Thanks, then I'll be off now," Hyunjin replies, bowing then leaves the office.

4:30 pm
(Y/n) is having another boring workday, about to doze off in front of her computer, when she feels her phone vibrate in her pocket. Who would call me at this time?
She looks at her screen. Anonymous.
"Hello?"
"Good evening, I presume you're Ms. (Y/n) (l/n), correct?"
"Yes, this is she. May I ask who's with me?"
"This is Mr. Cheon, JYPE's secretary. Mr. Park would like to have a meeting with you this weekend,"
"How do I know you're not a scam?"
"...I got your number from Hyunjin,"
(Y/n) sighs. "Fair enough. I'm free on Saturday morning,"
"Good, we'll be expecting you. Have a pleasant evening, Ms. (l/n),"
"Thanks," (Y/n) hangs up and slouches back. What if it's a scam though? Well at least if I got kidnapped, I wouldn't have to do anything anymore. Either way, it's a win-win situation. I'm gonna tell Dahuin about this! Wait, should I? She's been a little distant lately. And it's kind of her fault I'm stuck in this situation...
Saturday, 10:04 am
"JYP Entertainment, huh," (Y/n) steps into the company building and walks to the reception desk.
"Hello, good morning. I'm here for a meeting?"
"Good morning, Miss...?"
"(L/n) (Y/n),"
"Ah, yes. Welcome, Ms. (L/n). Let me get your badge ready and I'll have somebody escort you to the meeting,"
"Sure thing, thank you," So it wasn't a scam ...dammit.
The receptionist hands (Y/n) her guest badge and calls over a young lady to take her to the meeting. (Y/n) thanks her when they arrive and she takes a deep breath before knocking and entering.
"Hello," she says, bowing to the man sitting at the end of the table, and as a reporter, (Y/n) has known him as Mr. Park. Wow, I suddenly don't understand how I got here... she starts to feel nervous as she sits on her chair.
"Since we're all here now, we shall start the meeting," he says.
"So, Ms. (L/n), I'm sure you know exactly what this is about?" Mr. Park speaks, getting a nod from (Y/n) and he continues, "well then, I'll get straight to the point, I don't know exactly how much you get paid in your current job, but I'll pay you more if you work with us and wipe out the gossip that you caused about Hwang Hyunjin," he says with a keen smirk, "so, what do you think? It'll only be a loss if you reject this offer... but it's your choice in the end," there is no way I can refuse, and he knows that too well! Gosh, talk about convincing people... no wonder he's successful.
"May I ask what my position will I have if I were to agree?" she asks, and he answers,
"Good question... my company needs more privacy protection, so, if you agree to start working with us, I'll give you the position of a privacy protection manager, there will be other managers in the same position," Well, well... this is a different story. Privacy protection manager? When I usually do the opposite?
"It is indeed a very decent offer and I can't decline it..." the girl stops to think for a few seconds, and proceeds to talk, "I accept, Mr. Park,"
"Very well," he slides over a contract. "All you need to do is sign here," He points. "I'll notify your boss later,"
Oh no, he's gonna know about this? What would he do? What if Dahuin finds out?
"I have connections with your boss, I'm sure he'll know how to handle this situation,"
"Alright, thank you,"
