“Hello?”

“ So good of you to pick up, Seungmin. We seem to have an, um, issue. ”

Seungmin pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed heavily as the phone rested against his cheek.

“ I know, I know. But listen—it’s really important. ”

“Yeah it better be a good fucking reason or i’ll kill you Mark.”

“ Seungmin. Ateez wants to meet. ”

Seungmin's jaw falls, and he sucks in a harsh breath.

“What?”

“ You heard me. Wooyoung requested to meet with Stray Kids. Some sort of conference, I think he called it. ”

Seungmin flags down Soobin who’s sitting across from him, he holds his hand to the phone to block out any noise.

“Go get Chan, now .”

Soobin, not needing to be told twice, flies out his chair and out the door. His footsteps heavy as he charges up the staircase. He comes to the wooden door, and knocks loudly.

A soft come in is heard and Soobin throws open the door.

Chan glances up at the beta, “What’s up?”

“I don’t know, but Seungmin needs you right now. He’s in the office.”

Chan’s eyes widened, his eyebrows furrow, but nonetheless he rises from his seat and follows the beta down to the room Seungmin is still on the phone in.

Soobin let’s Chan in and closes the door, leaving the two alone.

Chan looks at Seungmin with concern, and confusion. Seungmin only shakes his head, making Chan wait for an answer.

“Okay, thank you. No—no he’s right here with me. Thanks Mark.”

Seungmin sighs and sets the phone down before looking up at Chan, who’s perplexed.

“That was Mark—um, he told me Ateez wants to have a conference with Stray Kids.” He lets out, his eyes glazed over.

Chan sucks in a breathe, “Why on fucking Earth would they want to do that?”

“I-I don’t know, but I think we need to discuss this situation with everyone. It doesn’t matter the absolute distaste we have, maybe we can put an end to the harassment against Ji.”

Chan nods, and helps Seungmin clean up the rest of the papers. They walk out together, after Chan lets Namjoon and Seokjin know what’s happening. He tells them they’re in charge for a bit.

After the quiet ride home, Chan and Seungmin walk through the front door.

All the members are sitting in the living room, scattered in different seats. The aura of the room is heavy, Chan only texted the group chat a bit of information as he was driving.

He sits right by Minho, and Seungmin makes his way next to Changbin.

Chan runs a hand through his hair before directing his attention towards Seungmin, “Seungmin knows more about the situation than I do.”

Seungmin clears his throat, his light scent, smells heavier, and there’s a tinge of something like disgust.

“Mark called me this morning. He said that Wooyoung called him asking him to ask for a conference. He said Ateez wants to meet with us. Wooyoung apparently,” He clears his throat, “apparently wants for all of us to attend even—our omegas.”
