Everyone cheered happily as they celebrated the successful debut of their new soloist. All of the workers who helped Irish were present. While they were having fun, Irish read a message from Simon secretly. After sending her reply, a mysterious smile appeared on her lips. Jeongin noticed it and shiver at the sight

"This girl is hella creepy" Jeongin thought

In the middle of the fun, Jeongin got up from his seat and walked to Irish. The girl was enjoying herself talking to the people around her when Jeongin called her name

"Irish" the young lady looked at him and waited for him to continue "The night is not young anymore. Let's go" The two of them bid their farewell to their co-workers before they exited the room. While walking on the hallway, the people would constantly congratulate Irish for her successful debut. 

Upon entering Irish's room, Jeongin finally let out a laugh

"I can't say I'm not amaze, Irish. Indeed the best" he stated while clapping his hand. Irish rolled her eyes as she took a sit on her bed

"In order to succeed in the entertainment industry, you shall be perfect in everyone's eyes, I guess there's no need for you to train on that. Just don't forget that no one can be trusted around you, Irish, even me" he said while pouring wine on the two glasses l, and offered the other one to Irish

"I know, Jeongin. The thing is, I don't have anything to lose so, the burden is lesser" 

"We'll see about that" The two raised their glasses, and sipped from it. 

"Anyways, your schedule tomorrow will be packed so, you need to get a rest as much as you can. And regarding your engagement with Simon… Well, it's on you, I won't pry on it" Jeongin waved his hand to Irish and exited the room. Irish stared the door for awhile before she got up and went to the bathroom to wash up. Despite how many alcohols she took, it didn't have any effects on her, not even a feeling of tipsy. Before they left the room earlier, the people in there are already wasted while the others are starting to have a clouded mind. It's like it bothers her since those people will still work for her anytime even though having a hangover. She's not at fault for their suffering

Meanwhile, in the place where the people wearing white coats are working non-stop, a shout of agony was suddenly heard all over one of the rooms. The doctors and scientists stop what they're doing to watch a man full of tattoos crying and shouting. The man covered in tattoos is currently being tied up, all over his body, while there are doctors and nurses injecting something on him. By listening to his scream, everyone could tell that he was in incredible pain. No one pitied or felt guilty towards the man in tattoos as for them, he is nothing but a useless pile of proteins. The person they are watching, suffering because of their experimentation, is actually a criminal who raped and killed four young girls already. These white-coat people have a connection to the authorities. They just pay the authorities and get any criminal they want for their experimentation. The price of one criminal is equivalent to 1.3 million. A lot of people might think that the price is too cheap. Actually it is because the lives of these criminals are not worth it for anything anymore, they are considered as an excess baggage in the world, useless and worthless. Cruel, yes but these white coat people are not heroes; they are the rich villains that in this world are considered as the light because they have money to control everything to their favor. Having rules that only those people who have money can benefit, and what is considered right based on the society's standard. 

The man covered in tattoos didn't last for 5 minutes, and eventually gave up. All of the people present inside the room frown in disappointment after witnessing the scene.

"Another failure" someone commented and got back to doing his job. All of them just sigh as they were all expecting this kind of result already. 

It's been so long but still, they couldn't complete the serum because of the missing formula. The experiment they are currently working on has actually succeeded a long time ago and the test subject at the time is currently living with the serum inside its body. But after the scientist and the doctor who led the experiment died, their descendants continued the experiment, but to their dismay, a formula was missing. Even though they have the person who was a test subject of the successful experiment, they still couldn't complete the serum. Right now the doctor and the scientist are the 4th descendants who are currently leading this study. The previous two partners don't have any progress at all, and the data they have obtained are not that different from the data that the previous leaders had.

"I guess our student will have to continue the study, pal" the doctor stated after sipping a coffee from his cup

The scientist looks at the young girl and young boy who are both working hard and so focused on doing their task. The two partners that will officially lead the experimentation should have a student to train, in order for them to continue what has started. One should be a doctor and the other should be a scientist. After the death of the teachers, the student will take the lead, and has to find their own students. The organization is not already a secret to the public, thus, they can find any youngsters to be trained, but they are also not that well known as they are just as quiet as the cemetery. Once you become part of the organization, there'll be no time for you to have fun or to have your own family. You'll be alone and your life will become dull and meaningless. The scientist smiled bitterly watching the students as he drank his coffee in one go.

"May they'll succeed"

Irish woke up from the sound of her alarm and didn't wait any time to get ready. After stretching for 15 seconds she went straight inside the bathroom to take a shower while humming her own song. It is still 5 in the morning but she has to get ready since she will be having dance training from 5:30 a.m. to 7:00 a.m.. After that, in 7:20 a.m. she will be recording another song to start her album, although they won't be releasing it anytime soon but the entertainment wants her to at least upload a new song so that the people will not easily forget about her. It is not really necessary for her to finish recording right away today as they will still be having trial and error, and such for Irish. At 9:00 a.m. Irish will have to meet some big people for sponsorship and other matters. They are also considering letting Irish to participate in some drama or movies to make her even known to the public eye. And in the afternoon, Irish will  have to prepare for a talk show.

After Jeongin confirmed Irish schedule, Irish gave him a nod as they arrived inside the practice room. Irish is already talented in dancing but she still needs to have proper training with the professionals.

Throughout the whole time of dance training, Jeongin just watched his talent doing her best and working hard for the sake of her career. Jeongin can't help but wonder and ask a lot of questions to himself, but none of that can be answered as all of it is too complicated and scary to entertain the idea.

After Irish completed and mastered a dance move and skills, she hurriedly went to her manager to have a break. Jeongin handed her water and a towel. The guy just watched her with a poker face and waited for his talent to finish. When Irish's 10 minute break was done, she continued her dance training until the allotted time.

Irish was bathing with sweat and panting heavily when she finished her dance training for the day. It is a good thing that she has the stamina for such physical activity, because if she hasn't, she would likely have fainted a while ago.

"Being an artist is such a pain" Irish grunted

"Don't complain yet, we're just starting for the day" Jeongin winked at her as they headed to eat their breakfast

It is already 10:03 in the evening and Irish is completely exhausted. She couldn't believe that she managed to finish the day without fainting. The thing is that she met a lot of people whose attitude is so annoying, especially the host of the talk show she just attended. She was fuming mad the entire filming but, she restrained herself or else her career is done even though she just started. 

Jeongin knitted his brows while watching Irish completely down on her bed. After checking the time from his wrist watch, he throw a new pair of clothes to the young lady

"Get up! You still have another problem aside from being an artist" he said. Irish groaned in annoyance and hurriedly changed inside the comfort room. After she's done preparing, the two of them went to the venue of the meeting where both Irish and Simon called for a meeting. When they have arrived, all eyes are already on them. Irish look at to Simon and met his gaze

"It seems that we're the only missing for this meeting" Jeongin stated as they both sit on the chair, opposite to the LX6 group 

"I don't know why you guys called for an immediate meeting, especially Simon and Irish, but since we're all here, let's get started" Mr. Kim said as he announced that the meeting has started

"Dang! I'm so sleepy and it's already late. I still have school matters tomorrow" Irish ranted in her thoughts.
