taerae had called hanbin in for a meeting about the company's current state. hanbin was nervous, so nervous that he had to have zhang hao drop him off instead of driving himself. he wasn't sure why it felt like there was a pit in the bottom of his stomach. taerae had it under control, right? 

hao could only try to reassure the boy that all would be well, he too had been a bit worried since he currently attended there as well. as they arrived hanbin got out of the car telling hao to wait until he came back with any news. he grabbed his bag and walked into the company to be met by two people. one of them being taerae and the other being a familiar face, Mr. Zhang. 

"hello hanbin, I'd like you to meet Mr. Zhang" taerae extended an introduction the two just smiled and nodded at each other, even though they knew of each other already and weren't fond of seeing each other here. after the awkward introduction, taerae walked the two to an empty meeting room to discuss. 

"so, hanbin mr. zhang has a presentation of his beliefs and wants for the companies future, and I thought it would be important to have you here as well" taerae spoke, hanbin nodding in agreement interested to see how this man would map out not only the company's future but his as well. 

Mr. Zhang began his presentation, the first slide introducing who he was, an elite businessman in China who had partial ownership in many big k-pop companies including hybe and jype. he had no clue that zhang hao would have come from someone so elite, the boy had no cockiness or greed whatsoever. the second slide introduces a plan, the plan is intense with lots of different plans to bring in more trainees, and even have a debut group come out of the company. hanbin was overwhelmed, he had thought before about becoming an idol but found the company and wanted to stay teaching instead. 

mr. zhang's plans to revamp the company were not something that hanbin would have expected to walk into today. he knew that the man had money, and he knew he had the drive to hurt his son's lifestyle even if that meant messing with the guy that zhang hao had been head over heels about. he knew what he was trying to do, but felt powerless, all he is is a dance teacher who barely even gets paid enough to buy food sometimes and this man was an elite businessman. he was fucked, and he knew that taerae was in love with the idea. taerae had the voice of an angel, he knew that he would do perfectly in a group if not solo. 

once mr. zhang had finished his presentation he threw an offer out to taerae, he was offering to buy the company for 10 million dollars, and that wasn't including all of the building adjustments he would be making at the company. the number rang in taerae's ears, and the opportunity shone brighter than the sun, but he still wanted his best teacher's advice. "hanbin let's take a minute to talk in private okay?" he spoke guiding hanbin to a separate room. 

"think about it, this could be our huge break, yujin and gunwook and gyuvin could all finally debut, hao too and ourselves!" he spoke excitedly. hanbin sighed, "i will trust you to make the best decision for the company taerae" he said as he put his hand on taerae's shoulder.
