Chapter: A Bold Move

The conference room buzzed with a mix of tension and anticipation. Abby's team, led by her fiercely protective manager and PR specialists, sat across from HYBE's executive board, Katseye's management team, and their legal advisors. It was a high-stakes meeting, one that would decide the future of not just Abby and Lara but also Katseye as a global phenomenon.

"This relationship," HYBE's head of PR began, adjusting his glasses, "has caused significant disruption to Lara's public image and Katseye's brand as a whole. The media frenzy is out of control."

Abby's manager leaned forward, unflinching. "We understand the stakes. But trying to suppress the truth has only fueled the fire. We believe there's a way to take control of the narrative-by owning it. Make their relationship public. Show the world that love, even in the face of adversity, can be celebrated."

HYBE's executives exchanged skeptical glances, while Katseye's management looked visibly uncomfortable. The tension hung in the air, heavy and suffocating, until one of Katseye's team members broke the silence. "How would you propose we do that without further damaging our brand or alienating the fans?"

Abby's PR specialist clicked through a presentation, displaying mock headlines and positive public reactions to other celebrities who had successfully embraced their personal lives in the spotlight. "We suggest a joint appearance at an iconic event-one that screams unity, power, and authenticity. The Met Gala."

Gasps echoed around the room.

HYBE's legal counsel frowned. "And how would that work? This isn't just any event. It's a global stage."

"We've already spoken with Louis Vuitton," Abby's manager said confidently. "They've agreed to style Abby and Lara as a pair-powerful, elegant, and in sync with the theme. This would not only align Lara with a respected global brand but also position her and Abby as trailblazers for diversity and modern love."

The room fell silent again, but this time the tension was different. It was the kind of silence where possibilities took root.

The HYBE CEO finally spoke. "And the risks? The backlash from conservative fans and media?"

"That's why this needs to be done with careful planning," Abby's PR specialist replied. "A joint statement from HYBE and Abby's team, emphasizing their mutual respect and shared values. By framing this as a love story and not a scandal, we can shift the narrative. The world is changing, and fans are ready for this-if we show them the right way."

Katseye's manager hesitated but eventually nodded. "And the girls? How do they feel about this?"

Abby, who had been silently watching the back-and-forth, finally spoke up. Her voice was steady, filled with quiet determination. "We're ready. Lara and I have been hiding long enough. If we're going to do this, we want to do it together."

By the end of the meeting, an agreement was reached. Abby and Lara would make their first public appearance as a couple at the Met Gala, styled by Louis Vuitton. It was risky, but it was a calculated move that everyone hoped would pay off.
