With Jeonghan's birthday looming uncomfortably on the horizon, everyone at Savor & Spice shifted their focus to other priorities.
After the awkward and somewhat tense exchange between Seungcheol and Jeonghan, the topic of his birthday had been quietly dropped.
Seungcheol, in particular, made sure to steer clear of any further mentions, knowing that Jeonghan needed space.
It hurt him not to be able to celebrate or do something special for him, but he respected Jeonghan's boundaries.
Luckily, an unexpected distraction came in the form of the company's investors, who proposed an exciting new collaboration party.
The investors wanted to celebrate their partnership with a grand event to announce the launch of their new project.
The date they had suggested? Two days before Jeonghan's birthday.
Seungcheol, although initially hesitant about the timing, quickly realized that this might be the perfect way to honor the investors while avoiding the issue of Jeonghan's birthday altogether.
After all, the party wasn't technically a celebration for Jeonghan, it was for the company's new collaboration.
It would also give Jeonghan space to not feel pressured to celebrate his own special day, which everyone, including Seungcheol, could agree was a respectful move.
The team quickly got to work, brainstorming ideas for the event.
They gathered in the conference room, eager to throw around ideas. Seungcheol sat at the head of the table, his usual air of authority tempered with quiet contemplation.
Joshua sat beside him, still casting worried glances toward Jeonghan every now and then.
The rest of the team was spread around the table, buzzing with excitement about the upcoming party.
"So,"
Seungcheol started, pulling the team's attention to him.
"The investors want this to be a big collaboration party, lots of media, social buzz, and of course, something memorable to highlight our partnership. We need some strong ideas to make it pop."
Immediately, Soonyoung's hand shot up, a mischievous grin spreading across his face.
"We could rent out a theme park! Have the whole place to ourselves. Big roller coasters, flashy lights, it'll be wild!"
Mingyu chuckled at Soonyoung's energy.
"That sounds like more of a nightmare for PR than a celebration."
He teased.
"I was joking! Mostly,"
Soonyoung pouted before nudging Seokmin, who sat beside him.
