meeting with two

Bang's eyes widened as his mind processed the girl's frantic words— thinking he'd heard her all too wrong.

"did you just-"

"PD.. i want to leave BE:Lift."

Bang met the girl's eyes, his worry melting, yet growing, as he looked into NaRi's determined gaze.

he softly sighed, "why, Mireia?"

she huffed, the strong façade inching away as the reasons clouded her mind.
"they've mistreated me, and the boys, for far too long. our manager is great, my 언니s are great.. but the other staff members make living under their power unbearable," she said, exasperated.

Bang sighed, nodding as he looked down. he knew NaRi wouldn't ask to leave a company just for the hell of it— he knew there were far more reasons than the ones she'd told him, but what could he do?

"you know i'm not the CEO anym-"
"i know," she interrupted him, "but i think my request could be processed faster if you were the one to put it in,"

her eyes pleaded for the older to listen to her inquiry, the male sighing again.

it was silent for a few seconds, only until he gradually began to nod. "it'll take a while, i think.. but i'll put in the resignation request,"

she squealed out of delight, jumping up to hug the older, "thank you, thank you, thank you!" she repeated, happier than she'd been the past few weeks.

the older could only chuckle, eyes turning slightly sturn as he reminded her, "i can't assure these reasons will get you an approval sooner, Mireia. you may have to wait a few months,"

later that day, Bang left his studio, walking towards the CEO's door. he knocked, the male granting him entry.

"oh, Bang PD! what can i help you with?"

Bang softly smiled, slowly sitting in front of the male. "i received a request from an artist, it may seem a bit extreme.. but she'd like it processed immediately."

"she.. i assume we're talking about NaRi?"

Bang gave a knowing look, scratching between his eyebrows. "did i make it too obvious?"

the other only chuckled, shaking his head, "of course not. now, what about our dear NaRi?"

the male had agreed to not let any bits of anger show– however sitting in front of the man in charge made it.. too easy.

"i have one question," he began, continuing before the other could get even a word in. "why is Kim NaRi constantly being mistreated by the staff members of Be:Lift?" he paused, furrowing his eyebrows. "actually, no. why are all eight members of ENHYPEN constantly being mistreated by the staff members of Be:Lift?"

before the chairman could speak, a buzzer sounded through the room. "Mr. Park, Kim NaRi is here for her meeting with you,"

Bang's eyes widened, looking at the male.
"send her in, please,"

NaRi lightly bowed as she opened the door, freezing in place when she saw two figures inside instead of one.
"Bang? am i interrupting something..?" she asked, "should i leave-"

"of course not, NaRi. i think whatever you need to say to me you need to say to Bang PD as well," Ji-Won spoke, pointing at the chair for the girl to sit in. "please,"

she lightly nodded, taking soft steps as she sat beside Bang. the girl sat up straight, nothing but determination visible in her gaze.
"so, NaRi.. what'd you need to talk to me about?"

she sucked in a small breath, looking directly into the chairman's eyes.

"i'm asking for a termination of my contract with Be:Lift Lab."

Park's eyes widened, his ears unwanting to believe the girl's words.
"could you-"

"i want to file reports against Be:Lift Lab, terminate my contract, and return as an artist under BigHit Music."

the chairman sat back in his chair as his eyes trailed over his desk— a proud smile on Bang's face.

his little girl had really grown up.

Ji-Won softly sighed, looking at the girl once again. "is there anything-"

"i want to take my members, too."
