This could be the longest chapter until now

Minji pushed open the glass doors of ODD ATELIER, her sister's company, greeted by the familiar hum of activity. The company's office was sleek and modern, reflecting her sister's sharp eye for design and management. As she made her way to the team room, she could already hear them talking about her latest project.

"Minji, you're here!" her sister called from across the room, a bright smile on her face. She gestured for Minji to join her at the large, minimalist table where her team had already gathered.

They were all holding scripts, flipping through pages and exchanging excited glances. One of them piped up as soon as Minji sat down. "So, your role in the drama has been finalized. You'll be playing the short-lived love interest of the main character before she ends up with the another main one."

Minji nodded as she skimmed through the script, adjusting her glasses. "Got it. Who's the other character?"

Her sister's grin widened. "Shin Yuna. From ITZY."

Minji blinked, surprised for a moment before shrugging. "That's cool. I haven't met her yet, but I've heard she's nice."

Everyone in the room stared to have funny looks with something unspoken. Minji noticed her team exchanging glances. "What?" she asked, a curious smile tugging at her lips.

"Well..." one of the staff members hesitated. "There's, uh, a bit of a backstory here. Yuna mentioned you in an interview a while back. Something about you being her ideal type?"

Minji raised an eyebrow, a soft laugh escaping her. "You're kidding."

"Nope," her sister confirmed, laughing along with her. "People are already going wild about it online. Dispatch just released a story about this. It's causing a lot of excitement. You don't need to make promotion if you want it."

Minji groaned playfully. "Of course they are. Can't a girl just do her job without stirring up rumors?" But she couldn't deny that the idea of working with Yuna intrigued her.

The team spent the next few hours preparing her and making some advices for her upcoming role. As Minji practiced, the excitement in the room was palpable, and by the time the meeting wrapped up, Minji felt confident about the project. She was ready for the whirlwind that would come with acting in such a high-profile drama.

Minji received an unexpected message. It was from Yuna, and the timing couldn't have been more curious. Minji stared at her phone, her eyebrows raised in surprise.

Yuna: "Hi, Minji. This is Yuna. I hope you don't mind me texting out of the blue! Hyein gave me your number, and I wanted to introduce myself before we meet for the drama. Also, I heard about the rumors... sorry for the awkwardness."

Minji blinked at her screen, processing the fact that Yuna had not only texted her but also reached out because of Hyein. She hadn't expected Yuna to message her personally, especially after the rumors Dispatch had spread about Yuna's supposed crush on her. Minji couldn't help but chuckle at the suddenness of it all.

She was still sitting when a knock on the door broke her thoughts. Hyein strolled in casually, holding a bag of snacks, her expression as smug as ever.

"Guess who's here," Hyein said, plopping down on Minji's couch.

Minji looked up, already knowing what this was about. "You idiot. You gave Yuna my number?"

Hyein grinned, biting into a chip. "Yup! She was practically begging for it. Said she wanted to introduce herself before the drama stuff."
