"Promenade" NCT TAEYONG FF

CHAPTER - 06

~' Outlines of new eyes and visions of you. Girl, I think I need a minute, To figure out what is, what isn't. These choices and voices, they're all in my head, Sometimes you make me feel crazy, Sometimes I swear I think you hate me like, uh. I need a walk, I need a walk, I need to get outta here, 'Cause I need to know. Who are you? '~

Around 5 weeks after the scandal, everything was settling down but NCT was drowning in exhaustion and frustration. Schedules till late at night and no proper rest made NCT go insane and even a few members sick. Three of the members fainted after the special stage a week ago and almost all members last a considerable amount of weight.

The company had even canceled the vacation that they were supposed to get. With all these going on Taeyong and Jihyun had also hit the rocks, increasing tension in the group made Taeyong feel incompetent and Jihyun felt helpless looking at the mess. This led to numerous arguments, so the couple separated for a little while.

Jihyun POV

It's been 10 days since I left the JH Residence and started staying at the apartment. I have absolutely no news about Taeyong or Jaehyun anymore. I get that their tight schedules have made them more sensitive and I didn't want to add more headache so I temporarily moved out.

I made some calls to the management of SM yesterday asking them to cut some slack but they refused and told me that they needed some sort of event to distract the fans otherwise this issue might get prolonged.

So, I stayed up all night to come up with a new plan to distract the public attention. I have also informed the HR team of JH labels to consider the pros and cons of the program and start with the preparation of the events.

I have decided to host a lyric writing competition, I know it is going to be really hard to host such an event but at the moment it seemed like the best option. Anyone from the public, the fanbase of different groups, or even idols can write their own song and it will be evaluated by the lyricists in JH before choosing the songs which are the best. Those songs can also be used by other K-pop groups as their album songs.

So right now, I'm getting ready for the office to discuss the upcoming event.

Outfit and hair

In the meeting room,

Yeseo - "We've gathered here to discuss the upcoming event which will be held by JH Records and Labels. The CEO will now give the presentation for the event."

I presented my idea in front of the directors, and some of them were impressed but, of course, there were some disagreements. Especially Mr. Song and his minions, he was one of the investors in JH when my brothers started the company. Mr. Song was a man of about 60 who thought women aren't capable of handling companies. He tried to overthrow me when the directors had to choose a candidate for management of the company after my brother passed away. But luckily, I had more than 65% shares at that time after inheriting Oppa's shares too.

Mr. Song - "I don't think this idea will work out. This is not an elementary school to conduct writing competitions."

Minion 1 - "What else can we expect when the company is led by a school student."

Jihyun - "Do you have any other idea which will be more effective Mr. Oh?"

Mr. Oh kept shut not having anything more to speak.

Jihyun - "And Mr. Song, what other problems do you think a writing competition can cause?"

Mr. Song - "You are just wasting resources Jihyun, why do you even want to conduct this?"

Jihyun - "I'm not wasting any resources, Mr. Song, I am talking about giving people a paper and a pen, and the benefits from this are that the company gets more songs, and it is also an opportunity to discover new talent from the public."

Mr. Song - "Why not do this event online? It will be the same right?"

Jihyun - "Copyright issues... who knows if the contestants take lines from websites or even worse, what if someone from the evaluation team steals a piece?"

Mr. Song - "Then what about the global fans who want to participate?"

Jihyun - "JH Records and Labels has established itself in 21 countries, if fans from other countries want to participate, they can write it and dispatch it to the nearest branch of JH."

Mr. Song - "How many of the funds are you planning on spending for this event."

Jihyun - "It depends on the number of participants but it's nothing you must worry about Mr. Song. Any other questions?"

Everyone in the room shook their head and agreed with the plan. I soon began with the setting up after getting help from the other departments. Finally, at the end of the day, we gave out the invites either invites, brochures or emails, making sure the news had spread, I left to go back home. This event will be taking place after 3 days.

I opened the door of my apartment only to be stuck in my place...
