Chapter 10 - New roads

The next morning I woke up excited and thrilled about making music again. I knew that PLT neeed me and I needed them. They revived the love of music I had buried for so long again. This might have been faith. I got dressed in casual clothes and headed to the office with big smiles. My first meeting was with JYP and Ju. They were confused on the content of the meeting. I handed them both two files I had prepared and bowed.

" With this letter I would like to resign from my position. Jo is qualified to take my chair and the office runs without me. I am thankful for the chance you gave me but there is a new project waiting for me. I hope you can understand this", I said and they had a look at the documents and JYP sighed.

" Well you look very determined and Ju also had the impression that you were not happy here anymore. We will accept this but we want you to stay a consultant with us. This is our project and we might need your advice every now and then", JYP said smiling.

I nodded and I requested to put out the notice in the evening once I personaly told this to the artist I worked with. The meeting ended and I had the next one with my staff. They were shook but I assured them that nothing will change and they will soon see why I left them here. Jo was ready to take over but they were all sad to see me go. Most of them even cried. I left them for the next few visits. I met the trainees first and annouced me leaving and they started to sob and cry. We had bonded over the time and I was not just a staff memeber to them but was their big sister. I held myself composed and visted Stray Kids who went pale when I told them the news.

" We will support you no matter what but we will miss you. Please cheer for us and do not forget us ok", they said to me and I nodded and they hugged me all and I left to the see Day6.

" Yo Yo what is up?", Jae said excited as he saw me.

I asked them to take a seat and I told them that I was resigning for a new project and that Jo would take over. They were confused and did not say much. Twice was dancing when I entered and stopped when they saw me. This one would be hard. I gathered all my strenght left and broke the news.

" But why? We will miss you here. You did so much for us..", they said exhausted.

I nodded but they knew that I had my reasons. I left and rested my back on the corridor wall. The last ones left were GOT7. I knew that I would cry there because they would get emotional. We were friends and Jinyoung was starting to open up. This could ruin the progress we made so far. I was anxious but I needed to do this for me. This time I needed to put myself first.

They were in the big dance studio when I entered. Mark was the first one to see me and came over to hug me.

" Hello friend", he sang and Jackson was quick enough to drag him away and hug me. The rest gave e a quick hug aswell except Jinyoung who just smiled at me.

" What brings you here? Do we have a meeting or so?", Yugeom asked me.

I shook my head.

" No I just came here to talk to you about something", I said seriously and the atmosphere changed.

" Oh ok. What is it?", BamBam asked me worried.

I looked at them and then cleared my throat.

" This is my last day here at JYP. I am leaving. Jo is replacing me", I said fast and they looked shook.

" WHAT? Did you say you are leaving?", BamBam asked me angry.

I nodded.

" Yeah. I made the decision yesterday. I wanted to tell you myself. Afterall we are...", I started but was cut off by Jinyoung.
