at long last, the yoo hobin company finally has what hobin calls a base.

"i really feel like a president right now."

"i'm the president though@ dont try to take my place@"

you pat gaeul's head, "gaeul, you're the puppet president, not the president. the puppet president only steps forward on really important matters, okay?"

she does a cute pose with a cheeky grin, "that's right, i forgot.@"

hobin's phone suddenly buzzes, "a call? from whom?"

his eyes widens as he stares at the screen, immediately calling for everyone's attention. "guys, look!"

"hm?"

"what@"

"who is it?"

he flips his phone to show you, "seong joon is calling!"

indeed he was, the screen flashing as his name displays on the top portion of the screen.

"don't chicken out, you idiot!"

"answer it!"

hobin does, uttering a nervous, "ehlo!?" as he sweats bullets.

"𝘢𝘩, 𝘩𝘰𝘣𝘪𝘯? 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶?"

everyone leans into the call as hobin continues to stutter, "wh-why are you calling us? you wouldn't call us for nothing.."

"𝘢𝘩, 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴, 𝘩𝘰𝘣𝘪𝘯. 𝘸𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘹𝘫 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘺, 𝘴𝘰 𝘪 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘯 𝘩𝘪𝘮."

you felt more and more nervous as you continued to hear this man talk. he just lost an important asset from his company, why does he sound so easy going?

"a new hire?"

"𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘸, 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺. 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘯𝘢𝘦𝘯𝘨-𝘪𝘵𝘷 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘸?"

"that's an independent streaming platform right?"

yeorumi hesitantly gets on the said platform, tapping on the current livestream before facing her phone towards hobin. "what if he's planning something?"

"gangnaeng-itv is known for being pretty shady.."

"just watching won't hurt."

"𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘵? 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘳 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘦?"

on the screen is bbakgo, wearing nothing but shorts as he grins with no sign of sanity in his smile.

ah, you remember this lad. yeorumi had explained to you that he was the first person hobin exposed and was the person that bullied and humiliated hobin everyday.

"he looks like he's aged 70 years in one night." you hold back a laugh,

"wait, bbakgo?! i was wondering what he'd been up to after quitting school, he was doing gangnaeng-itv all this time?! this platform's pretty extreme.."

"so he's entered xj company..?" you mutter to yourself, wondering what use was this for seong joon to inform hobin.

since it's pretty much well known that former streamer bbakgo has a grudge on hobin for exposing him, bbakgo must have entered xj company out of spite.
