Truth and Lies (Twice 10th member)

Sam's POV

March 11, 2019

It's been almost 3 months since the release of TBTIED and Onces was shocked that it was produced by me. My members and my family felt so proud to me to the point that they shed a tears and I just laughed at them. 

For the first time in a long time, I was so proud of myself.

These days, I've been hanging out with my members at our practice room since the Dome tour will happen in less than 10 days. We are finally reaching our step to one of our dream especially the J-line unnies. We are diligently working hard to make Onces more proud.

My wounds are completely healed but I don't still remember why I did end up in hospital, my members seems to forgot to tell me but oh well. I also haven't talk to the person who admitted that he almost killed me. 

It's almost 10 in the evening when Manager unnie texted me and said that I should wake up early tomorrow to meet my new manager since my old manager retired. I was a bit sad 'cause my old manager won't be able to see us in our dome tour but quite excited for my new manager.

I am still working on some songs that needed to be fixed for our tour and make a setlist so I will be able to distribute this to the members first thing in the morning. I was so preoccupied that I didn't notice the little DubChaeng unnies are watching me with their arms crossed. 

"Yo, what the?! What are you doing here unnies?"  

"We were sent here because someone is working again nonstop." 

"But unnie, the doctor said that I am completely healed and I can work again whenever I want." I stared at Dahyun unnie while giving her my puppy eyes.

"But they also said that you can't work continuously 24/7. Let us help you with what you doing so you can sleep as soon as possible." Chaeyoung unnie stole my pencil from my hand and continue what I am doing, while Dahyun unnie went to computer to continue to fix my the songs. I helped them and told them what needed to be done.

I woke up at 7 am to get ready before Jihyo unnie barged into my room again. Honestly, I miss Sana unnie waking me up but she always woke up late nowadays. Once I'm done, I told Sadness unnie that I'm not gonna wait for my members anymore and went to company first since I'll check the setlist and songs with the producers and staffs for the dome tour. 

When I got at the company, I went straight to one of the conference room where I'm gonna meet the whole concert staffs. While we are still waiting for some of the staffs, I prepared the setlist and songs and distribute the papers in each seat as I ready myself for my report.

2 hours had passed and the staffs finally agreed to the setlist and said that this will be perfect for the tour. They also complimented me as I am improving when it comes to producing. I just sheepishly smiled and thank them for the compliment. Once the staffs are gone, I hurriedly went to another conference room where I'm gonna meet my members and the other managers.

I bumped into Chaeyoung unnie while waiting for the elavator. It seems like she was late but she's still chill about it. Mehh.. it's Chaeyoung unnie that we're talking about.. the small one but the coolest and chillest one!  We went together at the conference room, talking about what happened in my previous meeting. She was awed and patted my head as I did a great job.

"Ey unnie, come on, I wouldn't even finished those setlist and songs without you and Dahyun unnie's help."

"But still, you worked hard for it and you hear those compliments? Dang, I'm so proud you." Chaeyoung unnie wrapped her hands around my arm as we enter the room. 

"Oh, there they are. Now, shall we begin?" The managers starts the meeting and we listen attentively. The meeting was somehow casual as it tackles what should we do for the concert and meet the concert staffs in a video call. That went on for 3 hours and finally, We're gonna meet my new manager.

"Okay, I know all of you knows that Manager Eunji will retire as Sam's manager. It was a great time that she's been with us since the start of your career. Unfortunately, she wouldn't be able to tell you guys how much she's gonna miss you in person but she told us, she will visit you anytime." We're all sad that we would not be able to say goodbye to Eunji unnie and say thank you to her for taking care of me and my members. I should thank her through text or maybe I'll call her later.'

"And oh, I want you all to meet Sam's new Manager, LEE HAYOON." We all turned our head where the head manager's pointing. Everyone was shocked by her unique features including my members except for me. I frowned when the new manager is somehow familiar to me, like,,,

I've seen her before...

The new manager went to the front and introduced herself. When everybody starts to clap, I was bring back to reality and shake my head. I thought that maybe I just saw her in my dreams and nothing special. Once the meeting's done, we went to our new manager and introduced ourselves. The new manager was somehow nice when the members introduced theirselves but when it was my turn, I saw how she replace her sweet smile into smirk but she immediately changed into her sweet smile again. I looked at the members and they were looking at me with the same smile, I shrugged out the feeling and bow to the new manager.

"Annyeonghaseyo, I'm Samantha Lopez, but you can just call me Sam, Manager unnie. It's nice to meet you and I hope we can have a great bond together." I gave her my sweetest smile to her even though I'm still doubting about her but of course, our company won't let their future staff to harm their artist, right?

The  members and I went straight to the practice room for dome tour and the other managers were helping my new manager about the things that she should know and all the things that Twice's managers does. 

3rd Person's POV

While the Twice members were busy practicing for their dome tour, the managers tour the new and youngest manager in the company. They were also explaining Sam's hobby and personality, what's her favorites and all. 

"So, Hayoon-nim, is this your first time being a manager?" Yongjin asked. 

"Yes, actually I am a Major in Business graduate but since I'm a freshly graduate, I decided to try any kinds of work and lucky me, JYP Entertainment was hiring so I tried here but I wasn't expecting to be one of the managers of a kpop group." The managers were amused to what she experienced. Entertainments nowadays does not hire people easily since kpop is being spread all over the world and the artists might be put in harm if they are being careless in hiring people. However, in Hayoon's case, it was somehow believable since JYP Entertainment is known as one of the companies who has a strict hiring method so the managers were not doubtful about Hayoon.

Little did everyone knows...

This is only the start of an end...
