Another day of school, finished, now to go home and take care of my grandma. She's not sick or anything I just prefer to take care of her when I can. Sort of to repay back all the years she had to put up with me. I was walking to the gas station nearby for a snack when the man walking out the door runs into me. He doesn't look that much older than me and i get up to apologise.

"Ah I'm so sor-"

"There's no need to apologise on your part, it was my fault you had fallen. Here, take this as an apology on my behalf," he says, taking out his business card.

HYBE CORP.

"If I did I'd have to talk with my grandmother first, plus some negotiations would be necessary. Are you really sure you'd want me there ?"

"I think you'd definitely have a chance miss, just call if you can join the company. Have a good day."

"You as well."

Well that was weird as shit.

If I decide to do this, I'm going to negotiate to have my freedoms. And even if I didn't get them, I could cause a scene in order to get them. I don't want any of this weigh in or overworking horse shit. Jay's only told me the bad stuff, but he seems to love it.

After my thought session in the back corner with the chocolate milk, I grab one and pay, continuing my journey home.

"Grandma, I'm home!", I shout immediately as I enter the building.

"I'm in the back room, deary!"

I walk back there and she's sitting in her chair, crocheting a scarf for me after she finished Jay's. They were matching of course. Grandmas love that type of stuff.

"Well you certainly took longer to get home today, anything happen?", she questioned, putting the finishing touches on the scarf. I swear grandmas know everything, it's like a superpower.

"Yeah, I was scouted by HYBE."

"You were what?", she asks in shock, putting down everything she was doing beforehand to look at me.

"Yeah it's crazy, I'm stuck in what to do, I think I could negotiate for some freedoms since the guy acted like they really wanted me there. And I don't see how it's very different from spending so much time on video games in the game industry. I'm planning on talking to Jay about it, though."

"Robyn, you know he'll probably just try to talk you out of it."

"So what do you suggest then?"

"I think you should do what your heart wants, which seems like we're about to move to Seoul."

"You'll come with me!?"

"As if I'd miss the opportunity to be able to see both my grandchildren."

"When should we leave?"

"Call that guy first then we'll decide from there."

"Alrighty."

I walk out into the kitchen and call the number given to me. I hear a receptionist typing as she picks up the phone.

"Hello, this is the number for HYBE labels, how can I help you ?"
