Hey guys :) As promised here is the next chapter. Again, sorry for the wait. I hope you enjoy :)

We drove through the city in silence. Sung Jun was busy facing the road in front of him and I was pretty tired from the past events. The sun started to rise in the horizon, creating a pretty blend of orange, yellow and pink. My eyes started to get heavy and I felt myself drift off to sleep.

I felt the car come to a stop. I opened my eyes and noticed we were parked in front of a café. Sung Jun had already left the car and stood next to my door, opening it for me. 

"Please come out, misseuh, we shall discuss here. It is the only place open this early in the morning. We both could use something to eat also," he said as he reached his hand for me to hold onto.

"Thanks, Sung Jun-ssi," I said softly, still quite tired.

We walked into the café and were greeted by a joyful ajumma with two menus in hand. 

"Annyeong haseyo, eosin geoseul hwanyeong Thanks Nature Café hamnida (good morning, welcome to Thanks Nature Café), please sit where you like," she greeted us while handing the menus.

Sung Jun and I were the only ones in the restaurant. There were 3 sheep roaming in front, which was a pretty unusual sight for me. They were cute, and reminded me of Lay. We sat near the window on a table for two, facing each other. I ordered a caramel latté with the Chocolate Berrynana Waffle and Sung Jun ordered a simple black coffee with some toast. My tummy grumbled from the hunger and alcohol abuse it had suffered the night before. At least I wasn't feeling sick, just really dehydrated and exhausted.

"So, what is this about, Mister Choi? How do you know me, and what exactly do you want?" I questioned the man in a suit and tie.

"Misseuh _____, as I have told you, I am a manager at DreamT Entertainment. You are aware of our company right?" he asked.

"Uhh, maybe?" I answered, a little clueless, "I don't really know which groups are under you."

"Well I'm sure you know of our ever popular group Girl's Day, and our new boy group Map6," Sung Jun proudly asserted. "We promote and work with those artists."

"Ohh wow, Girl's Day, huh?" I replied with a somewhat shocked voice...

"Yes, and we are currently developing new groups. Our company has a lot of success with Girl's Day, and the CEO was planning on debuting another girl group soon. It would be composed of five members. We have envisioned a multi-asian group because we want a new concept that could reach out to international fans. So far, within our selected trainees, we have a Korean member, a Japanese member, a Taiwanese member, and a Chinese member. We feel our other international trainees are not ready yet, or are far from responding to our standards... But as you know, Kpop is becoming much more intercultural and big around the world-..."

"Wait wait wait... Please slow down..." I cut in, totally bewildered by this sudden information and feeling nauseous by his word vomit. "Where are you trying to go with this, Sung Jun? I'm not really sure I'm following you right now..."

At that moment, the ajumma and a waitress arrived beside us with our plates and coffees. They set our respective meals in front of us, bowed and wished us to eat well before leaving. 

I dug into my plate and took a dozen sips of my latté, not caring if I burned my tongue. Sung Jun laughed a little and took a sip from his coffee. He adjusted his tie and sat back up on his chair.
