Chapter 9
"Oh, and this is where we have any urgent meetings. So, when the privacy protection team is called up for a meeting, you must come to this room immediately," Mr. Yoon explains, receiving a nod from (Y/n). Mr. Yoon seems pretty nice... but he talks a little too much for his age. (Y/n) lightly snickers at her own comment. "Ah, Jung Han!" he calls, waving at somebody. She looks around, looking for the person he's calling, and sees an unfamiliar young man coming over to them. He's quite tall and gives off positive energy. The man and Mr. Yoon greet each other, and then (Y/n) greets him, too. "This is Ms. (L/n) (Y/n), my new workmate. It's her first day here. Ms. (L/n), this is Jung Han, you'll be seeing him quite a lot since he's the assistant manager of the group we're in charge of protecting... well, we'll be working with many groups but—it's a little complicated, you'll get used to it," he sighs and looks at her when she asks curiously, "Mr. Yoon, you haven't told me, which group are you talking about? Like, the name of the group,"
"Ah, good question. We're on our way to meet them! you're heading there, right?" he nods, "great, let's catch the stairs," he leads the way down the stairs to the second floor. (Y/n) reads the practice room numbers as they walk past them one by one, practice room 4, practice room 5, practice room—hey, wait! No— why is Mr. Jung opening the door of practice room 7? Haha... shit.

"Alright, guys. We're gonna practice this part one more time," Hyunjin's group leader, Bang Chan says. They all get into their positions but just when Hyunjin goes to start the music, they hear the door open, causing them to turn their heads to the door and see their assistant enter, followed by... Mr. Yoon and that reporter lady...? Again?
"Hello, boys," says Mr. Yoon and they greet him back, "I see you're working hard today! Good job. I just wanted to introduce you guys to your new privacy manager, Ms. (L/n) (Y/n)," she takes a step forward and bows, greeting them.
"Hello! I'm (L/n) (Y/n), nice meeting you,"
"Oh—hello, I'm Bang Chan, the leader of the group. Nice to meet you, Ms. (L/n)," the guy who helped (Y/n) earlier introduces himself with a smile, and (Y/n) suddenly gets a little nervous and smiles back.
"Ms. (L/n)," Mr. Yoon, who's standing beside her says, "why don't we let them continue their practice? You can get to know them some more in the break,"
"Ah, of course," she slightly bows one last time and starts to follow her coworker's lead, but he instantly stops in his steps before getting out of the room, and turns around,
"Oh! I almost forgot," he speaks, "Hyunjin, I need you in my office in a minute, don't forget,"
"Yes, sir," he replies. The girl and Mr. Yoon start to leave again, and (Y/n) locks eyes with Hyunjin, who's giving her the 'what's-your-sloppy-ass-doing-here' look, but she just awkwardly looks away and walks out, trying to shake off the awkward energy that's stuck on her.
She and Mr. Yoon along with another staff member walk back to her new office and he starts to mention something about the meeting that will occur in a few minutes, and that she has to get ready.
"Meeting room 18, 12 pm sharp," he says.
"Yes, sir," she replies, watching him leave the shared office. She takes a glance at her two office mates, who are busy with their work. A young lady who looks like a workaholic and a middle-aged man. They seem very occupied for now... I guess I shouldn't talk to them at the moment.
11:58 am
As the privacy management team, including (Y/n), Hwang Hyunjin being the subject, and Mr. Yoon being the head of the meeting, all gather in the meeting room and take their seats, then the woman sitting in front of her tells Mr. Yoon, "Sir, everyone's here,"
