"Noona!" A male voice was heard coming from the hallway inside the Bighit training building at 8am in the morning, and Chua Mei couldn't have been more startled.

A familiar figure came in, and it was no other than Park Jung Hoon.

"Jung Hoon? You got accepted!" Mei gave him a tight and reinforcing hug. "Guess, I did."

"I'm so happy for you. I told you this is the last chance."

Mei playfully patted his head like their usual sibling relationship. And somehow, seeing his presence for one last time felt fulfilling for her part. Because thinking about it, she atleast saved one talented and potential person from the dungeon.

Mei noticed that the younger one was holding some sort of receipt. "What's that?"

"Ah, this? I actually claimed my redesigned schedule, which is why I went here in the main building. Would you like to take a look?"

The young man handed him the paper and Mei quickly scanned it. Surprisingly, their schedule as a trainee is even more packed up than expected. Jung Hoon is expected to wake up early at 7. But the amazing thing about his schedule is that every tiny detail of their routine is listed down, such as when to drink vitamins or when to take a jogging. It's a really tight schedule, yet healthy at the same time.

"Nice. Just remember to keep it real, Jung Hoonie."

"It's quite sad though, I'd barely see you one of these days."

Mei checked the address on the paper. As a newbie, he was apparently assigned on the same familiar place Mei has gone through before debuting. Usually, older trainees are the only ones being transferred in the main building for due process. But there is a distinct portion of the building in which trainees are not allowed to enter to give the current idols some space and superiority atleast. The rest of the other fresh trainees like Jung Hoon are apparently training somewhere in the hidden vents of Gwacheon, not far away from Gangnam district and about 35 kilometers away from the main building.

Mei returned the paper to the younger, "I'll try to visit sometime. Alright then, I'll be going now, Jung Hoon. The hitman's waiting for me upstairs. Goodluck with your training."

The younger smiled as they gave each other a fist bump. "Thanks noona. See you soon."

Just right after that was another regular basis for the hidden artist. She went straight to the third floor to have a private meeting with Bang Si-Hyuk. But what she didn't expect is that she will be witnessing the three rappers of Bangtan as well. It seemed like they were in the middle of a discussion.

Mei bowed down before intruding, and so did the boys. It was an awkward entrance but she somehow managed to keep her composure as the hitman signaled her to sit down next to him.

There was a long inevitable silence after that. "Am I... interrupting something?" The female stuttered showing conscious gestures.

"No no, we're actually done. You can proceed." Namjoon immediately cut-off, and one of them couldn't help but chuckle on how things are new to them. The hitman allowed them to chat for a minute to make things comfortable.

Hoseok was somehow whispering something through his face mask. He once again apologized for the commotion Jungkook created not so long ago, but Mei kept refusing. They can't let the hitman know that there was such event that happened.

But the rapper has to admit Mei's presence always excites him. She has the power to trigger anyone's adrenaline, knowing that she decides to appear whenever and wherever she wants. Meanwhile, RM simply pays respect to her bravery. And while sitting at the farthest corner, Yoongi is his usual calm and composed self. But as a producer, he is byfar interested how far she could go.
