Yeonjun entered the entertainment room with a melancholy look and a feeling of unease. The accusations of plagiarism hung over him like a sword of Damocles. The conversation with Beomgyu had given him a little hope, but when he left, Yeonjun was overcome with doubt. The actor had claimed to want to help him, but he was accused of plagiarism by his best friend. Whereas Yeonjun was just a shitty night that wasn't worth remembering. Now the question for Yeonjun was whether Beomgyu wasn't just using him to get his hands on Soyeon's secret. Or maybe the accusation came directly from Beomgyu because he knew that Soyeon and Yeonjun worked at the same entertainment company. It was quite possible that he also suspected Yeonjun and simply wanted to get to the truth with this accusation.

Would they prefer an insignificant night to his longtime girlfriend who had suddenly disappeared without a trace?

He doubted it.

And he felt sick at the thought that he didn't have many people he could trust.

As he walked down the corridor, he noticed a new face in the lobby - a young, very tall man with a shy smile. A little confused, Yeonjun stumbled towards the stranger, held him by the shoulder and made him turn to face him.

"Excuse me..." Yeonjun mumbled, "but who are you?"

The stranger looked at him in surprise, but smiled kindly and shook hands with his counterpart: "I'm Choi Soobin. New to the entertainment team. You're Choi Yeonjun, right?"

Yeonjun was surprised by the newcomer's friendliness and shook his hand. "Yes, that's me."

Soobin was a young man of remarkable height, with slender but well-proportioned body measurements. His dark hair fell gently over his forehead and framed his friendly face. His eyes radiated a warm friendliness, while his smile conveyed a natural lightness and openness. His clothes were simple and tasteful, indicating that he valued a neat yet understated style. Despite his restraint, Soobin radiated a certain charisma and self-assurance that suggested inner strength and composure. "I've heard about your new album. It's a shame it got off to such a bad start."

A slight frown appeared on the soloist's face. Yeonjun felt a lump forming in his stomach as he thought about the tumultuous events of the past few days. It wasn't easy to deal with the plagiarism allegations, especially when they threatened his entire future as a musician. "Yes, it's a difficult time."

"I'm sure everything will work out. I've heard that this entertainment is always good at dealing with incidents like this. That's one reason why I decided to join. I'd appreciate some contacts here, so if you need someone to talk to, I'm here." Soobin's kind words and interest in Yeonjun's music seemed like a ray of hope in the gloomy atmosphere of the entertainment company.

Still, it seemed like Soobin was blinded by the outer shell of entertainment.

"Uh, yes, thank you," Yeonjun replied distantly, but trying to smile. "I have to go then, maybe I'll see you later."
