After Director Jeong briefly explained the Rookies’ activity schedule, our meeting came to an end.

Though it was a short gathering lasting about an hour, it was a good time as we confirmed that our Rookies were receiving a lot of attention and support from the company.

“Then, that will wrap up today’s meeting. Thank you for your hard work.”

“Thank you~”

“The legal team’s meeting must still be ongoing, so please hang out here in the meeting room for a bit. We have a lot to do, so we’ll be heading out first.”

“Ah, yes. Understood.”

As Director Jeong concluded his words, he stopped in his tracks as if he suddenly remembered something and spoke to us.

“Oh, Rookies members. I almost forgot to tell you, you need to keep your schedule clear for tomorrow as well.”

“…What?”

As we tilted our heads in confusion, Director Jeong checked something on his phone and spoke to us.

“The lodging for Rookies has been decided. I will send the lodging address to each of you, so please come here at the designated time tomorrow.”

Ding ding!

As soon as Director Jeong finished speaking, a new message arrived on my phone.

And what was written in the message was…

[ZZ Castle, XX-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.]

It was the name of an expensive apartment that people often dubbed as a rich neighborhood, one that everyone has at least heard of once.

“……”

“……”
Seeing this, our members froze for a moment before…

“Wait, just a second, Director Jeong!”

Park Yoo-jung, the first among us to snap back to reality, grabbed Director Jeong, who was about to leave, and asked.

“Are you saying that our lodging is at ZZ Castle?!”

At Park Yoo-jung’s urgent question, Director Jeong tilted his head as if to ask what the problem was and then replied.

“Yes, what’s the problem?”

“Uh… the lodging seems a bit too… nice for us. I was wondering if this is really our lodging…”

Park Yoo-jung still looked like she couldn’t believe it.

In response, Director Jeong smiled broadly and replied.

“Yes, you will definitely be staying there starting next week as Rookies. Is there a reason you wouldn’t want that…?”

“Oh, no! Of course not! I’m just a little overwhelmed by how nice it is….”

“I am confident that Rookies will grow into an idol group deserving of this level of treatment.”

“……”

As we turned into a bunch of dumbfounded faces again due to Director Jeong’s words, he waved goodbye as if it was really the last thing.

“Then, I’ll be off. We’ll see each other next time. If any problems arise, just contact us. Alright then.”

He hurriedly left the meeting room with the other staff.

“……”

“……”

Our Rookies members stared blankly at the departing backs of the staff and at the address of the apartment worth tens of billions.
