Chapter 1: Getting Lost

Yoojung's POV

For the past few months so many unfortunate events happened to me, among these are the death of my mother and the scandal that Fantagio went through, the company that i've been working for. I'm still not okay about my mother's death. She has always been with me, my father left her even before I was born, I've never met him. But i don't really want to talk about that right now. Today, Fantagio Music has finally solved its problem and we now have a new CEO.

For the first time in months I felt excited, we can finally announce about our upcoming comeback and we might even do promotions for our collaboration with WJSN and Pepsi.

As I was about to go to our dance studio to practice, I recieved a message from our manager.

Manager: Yoojung, the new CEO wants to meet you, proceed to his office at 10 am today

Yoojung: But we have dance practice today

Manager: It's urgent, drop practice for now

Yoojung: okay, i will go there now.

It feels weird that i was being summoned by the new CEO. I think I've only met the previous CEO once or twice. I was really getting nervous about this meeting. I tried recalling if I did something that was upsetting for the company. Oh no are they going to have me undergo a surgery so that I could get taller? This really confusing and nerve-wracking.

Upon reaching the executive floor, I was ushered by his secretary to his office, inside there were 2 people, our manager and the CEO. I bowed my head and greeted both of them.

"You must be wondering why I asked to meet with you." Mr. CEO started

"Yes sir" I answered

"You know about what happened to our company. Our debts have become higher and our company almost filed for bankruptcy." he said looking straight to my eyes

I don't really know how to respond to this so I just nodded.

"A very generous investor , promised to invest in this company and help us with our debts" he continued

I got really confused, why is this being explained to me? I could not stop myself from asking

"Sir, may I just ask, I'm really confused, I really care about our company but why am I the only one in here? Shouldn't this be discussed in a company meeting?

" The thing is, his generosity comes with a price" he said, as he stood up went over the windows looking out of the building, he became silent for a while.

At that moment I tried staring at our manager, trying to send signals to explain what's happening, but he just shrugged his shoulders and shook his head. Even our manager does not know what's up

Then the CEO started talking again, still near the window but now facing us.

"He wants you to transfer to his company, He wants you to debut as a solo artist".

I didn't know what to say, did they just trade me off like some goods? Or did they fight for me? Going solo was never an option for me, I wanted to perform together with Weki Meki, we have been through a lot together, they have become family to me. I can feel the tears coming out of my eyes, my heart rate is probably at 200 bpm. I didn't say anything i just looked him in the eyes waiting for him to tell me that he did not agree.

Then he uttered the words that I didn't want to hear.

"I'm sorry it is the only way we could have saved this company. Think of this as a way for helping your friends here. And the company is really good, they can make you very famous"

By now I was sobbing really hard. Our manager was also crying, we've become close for the past 2 years.

This is something that I cannot avoid, If I would not do this all of us may suffer. I am very heart broken but I have to do this

"Which company?" I don't know if i sounded disrespectful but I don't care anymore

"Big Hit Entertainment"
