LET'S SAY

CHAPTER-5

IAME- Did I forget to tell you that this is going to be a total cliché?

"I want you both to rethink this carefully. No matter how you look at it, what you are trying to do right now is only going to severely affect you both's career when it hasn't even started yet."

Hearing this First smiled and while looking at Khaotung both with clarity in their eyes, looked at the agent, she was here to lead the negotiation between First and his company, a third party so all she needed to do was relay the message from the company, but she knew this talk was going nowhere.

"You've already considered everything regarding this?"  she again carefully prodded.

"Yes, Ms. Choi" but  First unhesitatingly gave his final answer, as expected of her, firm on his stance.

Sighing quietly, she said, "Okay then, I'll relay the message to your company."as she began to pack up ready to go back

First nodded with a soft smile on his lips as he guided her to the entrance bidding her farewell. They were really rash. Both knew, how much of a big pressure was awaiting them right now. Apart from all that public backlash, and their career being at risk, they also had to consider all the compensation they ought to pay for the breach of their trainee contract with the company. 

Did they not think about it carefully? Of course, they had. After careful consideration of their situation on savings and talking with their parents their parents were going to lend them some help with the financial situation.

As for choosing a relationship over, a career...why were they in so much rush?

If one were to think about it carefully, can they not date now but, after taking a break from each other for some time and focusing on building up their careers first then get back together, once they are stable enough? It's a rather naive decision, right?

Of course, it is, and what they were dreaming of seems vain too. Fighting headstrong, being stubborn, holding onto each other, and with visions of overcoming the block, rising together, in their career, and also not backing out being a representation for people like them? One would chuckle at how much of a simple thinking was it when the journey to achieve it was not all that simple at all.

But the first step was already taken, not backing out of the relationship, so even if they suffer and at last their tries turn as failures, would they stop now hearing anyone's sigh of pity? Of course not and that was it!

That's why First retained his calmness, that calmness before a big bad storm and so did, Khaotung. Just like that soon after,  the news of confirmation from both parties' companies regarding their departures came online.
