Location: Science Blooms Museum, Osaka

"So YN-San, will you accept the offer?" Tamagotchi, the CEO asked. While the position as a Director of Science at Science Blooms was extremely alluring, especially the pay and benefits of the job, you were very conflicted.

A sudden rush of thoughts came to you and everyone you've come to love blinded your eyes. Remembering the first kiss with Seulgi on your birthday, you can't stand to leave her. Can you repair the strained relationship once you're back in Korea? Recalling the soft touch of Mina's lips on your cheek and a cute date watching the sunrise, could there be more to this relationship in the future? Despite Tzuyu never giving you a kiss, her soft and gentleness made you want to stay by her side and protect her and take care of her. There is also the lovely, seductive and genuine Sana that needs more love, care and affection than she gives to others, will you be the one to fulfill her need for love? Jihyo, the motherly figure is uniquely alluring with her natural sexiness. But Jihyo also needs protection and security. Seeing how she was almost helpless at the coffee shop last time, will she accept you as her savior and protector for the rest of her life? Additionally, Shuhua waited 5 years to see you again, and she made it clear she loves you and needs you. As angry as she was with you on your first encounter, Shuhua is your baby angel in her own right. Finally, there is Wendy that never really showed a lot of affection, but her genuine gentleness hidden within her hard outer strong personality made you realize she needs someone to love her unconditionally too. With so many to love, and so many you want in your life, you were torn between love in Korea or life in Japan. "I need them," you mumbled.

"Pardon?" Reiko said, as she, Otomo and Tamagotchi leaned closer to hear you better.

A decision was made. You took a deep breath and said "I thank you for this generous offer to this position. However, I think I have to humbly decline."

A couple of audible gasps were heard in the silent atmosphere. "Oh," Tamagotchi said. "May I ask why?"

"Well, I think I am better suited in my current position for now. I just want some more experience before jumping into a bigger role like the Director of Science. Again, thank you for the offer though." You said. There were more reasons, obviously, but you felt the professional explanation was enough.

"Ah, I see. That's fair. It's hard to recruit great people for major roles like these. It's unfortunate you decided to decline, but I respect your decision." Tamagotchi said.

After the discussion, the four of you sat together and just chatted about random things. While you weren't going to join Science Blooms, you've developed a pretty good relationship with the team there in the two weeks you've stayed in Japan.

"Well, thank you so much for staying with us in the past two weeks. Again, it's unfortunate to hear of your decision. I do encourage you to reconsider it again," Tamagotchi said. "Our doors are always open to great people like you."

"Thank you," you said, putting your hand out for a handshake. "It was a great experience here at Science Blooms."

After the meeting ended, the three high executives left. For a while, you stood in the middle of the empty conference room just soaking in the fact that a decision was finally made. You felt a little weird yet you felt relieved, almost like a big boulder  was lifted from off of your chest that held you down in the past few weeks. "It's done," you said in a sigh of relief. Suddenly, a rush of adrenaline and endorphins radiated through your body. It was an exciting moment and it was time you announced your return. Happily, you took out your phone and scrolled through your contacts to make your first call. As you were scrolling you suddenly stopped and just stared at your phone. You realized that rather than calling your parents or sister first, you instinctively scrolled to a contact named SeulgiBear.
