Zeng Y/N's POV: 

I sat there watching the performances with a big smile. As much as I wanted to focus entirely on my artists, I couldn't. The man in front of me had an evil grin on his face. He would glance at me from time to time. 

"Thank you for being here today. We have announced the winners of each category but such amazing artists wouldn't be here without their CEO. So now we have the nominees for CEO of the Year. Jung Wook, Yang Hyunsuk, Lee Sungsu, Jay Park, Park Jiwoon, and Zeng Y/N," The MC announced. 

"This year's winner, with a record of a rising career and stars, bringing us amazing music and happiness with large anti-bullying campaigns all around the country..." I looked around. It surely was not me. 

I had been crazy busy with training, paperwork, and lessons that I hadn't had time to open any campaigns. 

"Congratulations, Miss Zeng Y/N!" 

"Unnie! That's you!" Lia said as she tapped my arm. I looked around and realized all eyes were on me. Claps and cheers surrounded me and I finally realized the MC had said my name. I stood up fixing my dress and went up to the stage. 

The MC handed me the price and I walked up to the mic still in awe. I stuttered as I looked at the crowd but my eyes landed on Bada and she smiled brightly at me blowing a kiss. I took a deep breath and started to speak.

"Wow... um... I'd like to begin by saying thank you. I never thought I would be able to win this since all of the previously mentioned CEOs are really hard working and have been doing this for longer but..." I took a deep breath. 

"Thank you for voting for me and making this possible. Thank you to Lin Fan and Lu Keran who keep me on my feet. And last but definitely not least, thank you to the artists who put their trust in me. You guys have worked so hard and I will forever be grateful. May everyone have a good night," I bowed and waved as I slowly made my way down the stage. 

Many of my artists congratulated me on my way back to my seat. Bada ran to me and wrapped me in a tight hug making me smile brightly.

"You deserve it. More than anyone here," she said and kissed my cheek. Something inside of me melted and I felt my face heat up. 

As I was going back to my seat feeling all giddy and warm, Lee Hyuntae stood right in front of me. I walked around him and sat down taking a small sip of my water. He walked behind me and I placed my hand on my leg preparing to grab my gun.

"Congratulations, Miss Zeng. You have truly worked hard on your own, I suppose. But... all the great ones have their sudden downfall. Don't you think?" He whispered into my ear. 

"I already had my downfall and trust me, it was shitty. Worry about yourself," I said never removing my eyes from the stage. 

Ryujin turned to me but I shook my head signaling that everything was okay. 

A few more performances were presented and I started to feel a bit nauseous. I drank a bit of water and tried to take deep breaths but nothing was working. 

 I got up and carefully walked towards the restrooms. I rushed to the door when suddenly, my vision went dark but my body didn't hit the floor...

Bada's POV:

I saw her get up and walk out. I didn't think much of it as maybe she was headed to the restroom. That was until I realized she didn't have security. I got up and walked back to the restroom area. 

She wasn't in the restrooms. I walked to other restrooms, the kitchen, dressing rooms, and even the custodian closest but she was nowhere. The panic started to grow in my chest. I walked back to the hall where everyone was and dialed Keran's number.
