"Hello boys, how have you been?" Sihyuk asks as the seven boys walk into his office.

The boys smile and bow in reply, "We've been doing good, sir." Namjoon responds.

"That's wonderful, now, I have to introduce you to someone." Sihyuk informs, "Come along with me, please." The man requests, getting up from his seat and walking out of his office.

The man leads them to a different office cabin, he knocks on the door and a few seconds later, an unfamiliar man opens the door, "Oh, PD-nim!" The man exclaims, bowing immediately.

Sihyuk smiles and walks in the cabin and then beckons the boys to follow, the seven of them walk in, a bit confused.

"Boys, meet your new manager, Deok-soo." Sihyuk speaks, referring to the other man.

The boys get even more confused but bow and greet the man anyway.

"Please introduce yourselves." Sihyuk prompts, the seven nod and begin introducing themselves.

After the introductions, the seven boys along with Sihyuk leave the manager's cabin to let him set his things up.

"Sir, I don't understand, why have we gotten a new manager? What about Sejin hyung and our other managers?" Namjoon asks as they exit the new manager's cabin.

"Sejin has gone on a leave, which is why we've appointed Deok-soo as your new manager, he's temporary, of course, but please do respect and listen to him just like you would with Sejin." Sihyuk requests, after getting nods from the boys, he parts ways from them and goes back to his office.

"It's only for a few weeks, guys, it can't be that bad." Namjoon reassures as he sees the uncertain look on his bandmates' faces.

"Yeah, I guess..." Hoseok says, "C'mon, let's not let this ruin our schedules, we've got to practice."

The others get up and walk towards the dance studio, ready for a whole day of tiresome practice.

Turns out, it could be that bad.

As the seven of them walk to the elevator to leave the building for the day, Taehyung -who had been goofing around- accidentally bumps into someone, and that someone turns out to be Deok-soo, who's carrying a stack of paper.

Taehyung immediately apologizes and bends down to help pick up the papers Deok-soo had dropped.

Deok-soo seems annoyed, "Can you help me take these papers back to my office?" He requests.

Taehyung hesitantly looks back at his band members, who are all tired after the long day of practice.

"You guys go ahead, I'll be there in a few minutes..." Taehyung says and then turns to Deok-soo and nods, "I'll be happy to help!" He says.

Deok-soo smiles and walks ahead to his office, Taehyung follows and the two enter the office.

After reaching the office, Deok-soo snatches the papers from Taehyung's hands rather rudely.

"Thanks, I guess, this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't been so immature, though." Deok-soo spits.

Slightly taken aback, Taehyung stutters out a small 'sorry'.

"What was that?" Deok-soo asks.

"I-I...sorry?" Taehyung repeats.

Deok-soo scoffs, "Pathetic."
