Somehow making it work on time, we walked into the building, Jungkook went straight to the practice sending me a quick wink before disappearing through the doors. Making my way to the staff room, only the stylist and makeup artist were present in the large conference room. Sitting next to Sooyoung, I quietly asked her what was going on.

"Apparently some of us are switching companies. I don't really know but according to Jaemin, he said that JYP Entertainment and Pledis made a deal with us and are transferring some of their employees to us and vice versa. I'm so nervous Yoo Mi, I've worked here since the beginning and I don't know who I would be without BigHit."

I placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder giving it a light squeeze, "How could be get rid of you Sooyoung? You're the best or the best, I ever learned from you how to do makeup properly on the boys! There is no way in hell they're getting rid of you. And if Bang PD gets rid of you, just know I'm right behind you, okay?" She sent me a tight lip smile but placed a hand on my thigh give it a squeeze. "This is why I'm so happy I took you in as my apprentice. Thank Yoo Mi."

The doors of the conference room opened, Bang Shi Hyuk walked in with a smile on his face. " Hello everyone, it's nice to see you all today." Walking to the head of the table, he sat down placing a stack of papers and folders down before pulling another stack of folders. Handing that pile to the person next to him, he asked to pass it around making sure you grabbed your own name. "Some of you look very nervous. I can only assume you heard the rumors and I wish they weren't true but sadly they are. I love each of you with all my heart," the folders landed in my hand next as I searched for my name, the black ink contrasting the beige folder, "and I'm doing this for your own good. JYP Entertainment and Pledis Entertainment are wonderful companies and have just as great opportunities for you few that I have selected to go. I and the other companies have chosen ten of our own stylist and makeup artist to transfer either permanently or temporarily, debating on your performance and skill." Before he opened the largest of the 25 folders laying the table, he made sure everyone had their files before continuing. "Sooyoung," her eyes darted to Bang PD with fear in them, "you have been with me from the very start and I couldn't ask for a more accomplished and radiate person by my side. I have high hopes for you and I couldn't part ways with you. Your input on everything this company does is greatly appreciated and I'm happy with the work you do."

The praise he was sending her made me a little hopeful that I wouldn't be leaving. Sooyoung has always requested me on her team because everything I did according to her was "up to my standards". Listening as he continued with the praises and apologies for letting certain team members stay and leave was terrifying. His words almost seemed uncaring towards the ones who were being tossed aside. Still, about 10 more folders left and only 3 more spots for the transfer team, my name was called next.

"Yoo Mi, you were a huge help with the past come back for the boys and I am forever indebted to you. Your keen eye for fashion has undoubtedly made Bangtan look more complex and a force to be reckoned with." He let out a deep sigh and that was when my heart broke, he was transferring me. "As much as I love you and everything you have done, you still have so much more growth to do and I think letting you go to JYP Entertainment will be a huge opportunity for you. Park Jin Young personally told me he loved your work and would make sure you get nothing but the highest ranks among his team. I'm so sorry about this Yoo Mi." My tears stung as I tried to hold them back. I only nodded my head, too afraid to hear my weak voice, to tell him to thank you.
