"sir." the man in his black suit was brought into a large office on top of 15th floor building. through the large glass window, the entire sophisticated city could be seen. the view is spread endless.
he handed the man an envelop which were full of secret captured photos.
the chairman went through every photos. the closer the two got, the higher his blood pressure became.
"he really did not take my word seriously."
"you can go now." another young man who's sitting by the couch, told the paparazzi to leave and he gladly did.
after the door was closed, giving them the privacy. younger male approached his dad.
"you should stop bugging him, dad."
the chairman slammed the bunch of photos, spreading messily on his desk. "tell that to your brother. he has no idea how bad his action impacts us, his family."
"that's why isn't it great to see him grow?"
chairman lee slammed his desk again, making his oldest son flinched, and bowed.
"you should not be the one talking. isn't your studio been slowing since the beginning of this season? you have bigger thing to worry about."
"i'm sorry." he bowed again, with shame. "i'll do better."
"enough with words. better start the action."
"yes, dad."
he then left his dad office with heavy thoughts.
but that didn't stop him to give his brother a call.
"yes, hyung." it took him quite a while to pick, and judging by the hoarse voice, he might not has waken up yet.
"don't know I could wake you up, bro." he took the phone away to glance at the time, and still surprise. "the lunch time almost pass. what did you do last night to oversleep again? I thought you're on break."
"uh.. nothing."
that's pretty much not convincible. "good one, jen. you went out with your team member last night, didn't you?"
it was a moment of silent before jeno replied deadpan. "it's dad, isn't it?"
he hummed. "he knew that his last plan failed again. he even got a bunch of photos of you two. so far, I don't know what's in his head. just be careful."
he heard a sigh of disappointment from the other line, but it's nothing new. "thanks again, hyung."
"no worry, I got you."
.
jeno hung up the call, moved carefully. he did not want to wake the girl sleeping on the couch next to him.
the dorm was quiet, but the leak of alcohol.
the two decided to go waste- well, he was the one who suggested, and aeri followed as soon as it made him feel better.
he stared at her, reminding of the conversation they had last night.
with the impact of two cans of beer, he's able to leak secret he's been holding.
"I went home last week. father wants me to leave the band." he remembered seeing how taken back she was, yet she remained silent.
he continued. "he's having a plan to buy a huge chunk of shares of our company. if I don't leave voluntarily... he'd disband the group as soon as he gains the management power."
jeno used to drowned himself in business administration documents, investment valuation books, and such. just incase his music career didn't bloom, he has a back up.
