All i can say is I'm in big trouble....

Joshua's POV

After eating breakfast and showering, I bid my goodbye to Joohyun and went straight to the company building. As soon as I enter the building, the glares they gave me sent shivers down my spine.

I quickly walked to the office, luckily I found Chan on my way there.

"Hyung? Omg....where have you been?" He asked me as we walked together.

"Long story short, I went to someone's house." I answered.

"And that someone is?"

"None of your business...how do I look?" I asked him. He gave me a thumbs up before entering the office first. I took a deep breath before going inside.

As soon as I went inside, the CEO and our manager is looking at me. I gave them a calm (not) smile before sitting besides Jeonghan.

"You do know the reason why I called you here, Jisoo." The CEO said while fixing some papers. I gulped before nodding.

"Y-yes." I stuttered.

"And you do know that 'dating' is not on your papers as an idol, right?" He said while giving me an intimidating look.

"But sir, I'm not dating her," I defend. "we're just friends."

"Friends? Then how can you explain the pictures circulating the internet?" Our manager suddenly interrupted.

I looked over at Seungcheol and he was giving me a 'Don't say anything' look. I nodded.

"If you keep denying this rumors, I don't have much choice but to kick you out of this group." After he said that, I stood up and pleaded.

"Please sir, I'll do anything you want." I begged. Jeonghan rubbing my back to comfort me. I'm at the verge of crying. Seungcheol and the others are looking at me worriedly.

"Is there any choice?" Seungcheol interrupted. Then, Seungkwan stood up and interrupted us.

"If you're going to kick him out, we're going to terminate the contract." He said.

"Because without him, we're not Seventeen." Vernon added.

The CEO clicked his tongue before replying.

"Fine then, I'll give you two choices. It's either you break up with her, or let her sign a contract here." He said with a smile. After hearing that, my face lit up because of happiness. I run over to our CEO and hugged him.

"You guys are too special for me to let go. Without Seventeen, Carats won't be here." He said while smiling.
