     "mr. lee, mr. lee! can you give us your thoughts on the statement that jype put out about you?" "is it true that you are stray kids' tiktok manager?" "what is your relationship to hyunjin?"

     even though jype's official statement came out yesterday, reporters are still gathered outside the company building shouting questions. excusing myself politely, i walk briskly inside.

once the glass doors are closed behind me, i'm surprised by how eerily quiet it is in the building; there isn't even a receptionist behind the front desk. i walk up to it anyway, waiting patiently for a couple of minutes before softly tapping the silver "ring for assistance" bell. i hear some noises come from the back room before the receptionist, who i remember from when chan introduced me to her, steps out from behind the staff door.

     ms. shin is wearing light pink again but this time she doesn't look nearly as put together. the collar of her blouse has a section sticking up and her brown hair is a bit messy. i'm thinking to myself that she must have had a long day when i notice that her subtle lipstick is smudged.

     "mr. lee, how can i help you today?" ms. shin asks, sounding perfectly normal and professional.

     "i'm here to sign the contract to become stray kids' tiktok manager. mrs. yeom said that it should be here?" i respond, focusing back on the task at hand.

     "yes, i have that here for you," she confirms, reaching under the desk and pulling it out. she slides the contract across the counter along with a pen.

     "thank you," i say, accepting both. i click open the pen and start skimming through the agreement, making sure everything is in order.

     while i'm reading, i hear the soft sound of the staff door opening. i glance up, wondering why ms. shin would leave while i'm still here, only to find her still standing in front of me. confused, i follow her glare to the staff door. to my surprise, i find chan standing in the doorway.

     my jaw drops as i spot ms. shin's lipstick on his lips, jaw, and neck.

     neither of them notice me watching as chan gestures to the main door, communicating that he's going to head out and ms. shin signals back that he will do no such thing, silently insisting that he return to the back room instead.

without me even realizing it, the pen i'm holding slides out from between my fingers and hits the desk with a loud clatter. both ms. shin and chan snap their heads to look at me.

"CHAN??" i blurt, my voice filling the space. i knew ms. shin had signed an nda, but i never imagined it was for chan. a small, embarrassed smile spreads across his face.

"hey, felix."
