"Jae Eun!" The two who had spent the rest of the afternoon in the conference room look up to see Ha Na, who now notices Min Hyun and stands up straight. "Manager Hwang. Hi."

"Hello, Ms. Im," he nods. She grimaces and glances over at her friend begging for help. "Is everything ready for your dinner tonight?"

Ha Na quickly turns back to Min Hyun and gives a brighter expression. "Yes, sir. I've also gone over everything with Jae Eun."

"This is your project, Ms. Im. I hope you can accomplish this with little help from Ms. Han," Min Hyun states.

"Ha Na will do great, Manager Hwang," Jae Eun cuts in. Min Hyun looks over to her and could see her glare. He clears his throat and adjusts himself in his seat. "Ha Na has come up with all of the ideas for the contract agreement and I believe that with just a little of support from myself and you, she will succeed during the dinner."

"Of course," Min Hyun agrees causing Jae Eun to smile acceptingly. "I hope to see good results by the time I walk in tomorrow."

"And she will hand you the signed contract tomorrow," Jae Eun says through gritted teeth.

"I'll make sure to work hard tonight, Manager Hwang," Ha Na says feeling the need to change the focus. "I actually came to remind Jae Eun that we do need to leave soon."

"Oh!" Jae Eun checks the time and nods. "Right, right. I'll just save this and clean up my desk and I'll leave with you."

"No need to rush. I came in early enough to tell you so you can prep yourself," Ha Na informs her. "I'm just going to freshen up a bit in the restroom."

"Oh, okay," Jae Eun nods. "I'll meet you there."

"I hope you guys have a nice dinner. Make sure to eat even a little bit," Min Hyun tells them. The two of them nod. Ha Na leaves the area and Jae Eun starts to clean up. Min Hyun glances at his work before looking over and her. "Jae Eun, are you sure you guys will be okay for the dinner tonight?"

Jae Eun looks over at him and offers a reassuring smile. "I'm sure. It will all be alright. Our reservation is for a private room and we have one closest to the door and to the open seating. If anything were to really happen we would be okay. This restaurant has really attentive workers. Nothing is going to happen."

Min Hyun silently nods and Jae Eun proceeds to clean up. She tells him he should make sure to go back to his office and take a break before he leaves. She also tells him to let her know if he needs anything to call her and he said the same to her. Jae Eun leaves the conference room and tidies up her desk. Min Hyun also gathers his things from the conference room and moves back to his office.

Just as she said, Jae Eun quickly got ready to leave and met with Ha Na at the restroom. The two fixed their appearances and left the office together after saying goodbye to Min Ji.

"If you guys have any leftovers take some to me," Min Ji requests. The girls laugh and nod saying that they will surely come to visit after their dinner.

"You have the contract and your marketing campaign proposition?" Jae Eun checks with Ha Na. Ha Na shows the folders in her purse and gives a visual confirmation. Jae Eun nods and questions Ha Na typical questions and situations that may come up during the dinner. In this way, Ja Eun helps prepare Ha Na to proficiently.

"Thank you again, for going with me, Jae Eun," Ha Na thanks her as the two hop into Jae Eun's car. "Thank you for also driving. I promise I will take all of the drinks if he has us drink."

"That's not going to happen, Ha Na," Jae Eun denies Ha Na's suggestion. "We will make sure the drinking stays in moderation. I understand that it is a business meeting, but we need to make sure to keep our boundaries. Plus, we can always call for someone to drive the car."

"But you know how some clients get, they won't sign unless they see that they are treated well during meetings or dinners," Ha Na points out.

"And this is when you will learn that you can always trick them into thinking that you are drinking as much as they are," Jae Eun shares. Ha Na looks at her confused as Jae Eun drives and talks about different situations that she had manipulated to get herself out of difficult situations. "It took a lot of experience to learn all of this, so I hope you take what I am telling you and use it wisely. Min Ji and I really believe that you can grow to be a great member in team one."

"When you were first starting out did you have someone to guide you like what you are doing for me?" Ha Na asks and Jae Eun shakes her head. "Then how did you learn all of this?"

"Experience," Jae Eun gives a small smile and does not elaborate as she pulls into the front of the restaurant. She gives her keys to the valet as Ha Na takes the important things for the night from the car. The two of them walk in together and Jae Eun gives the reservation name. They made sure to come early as so the representative sees that they are prepared and driven to produce great results. "You've had dinners with clients before right?"

"Yeah, but they were all easy to communicate with through email and call that it was no issue when discussing in person," Ha Na says. Jae Eun nods understanding.

"I'm here only for support and guidance, okay?" Jae Eun reminds Ha Na who enthusiastically nods and thanks her. The two of them settle down at their table and glance at the menu to get a good idea of what to order when the representative arrives.

A knock gets their attention and a waitress informs that their guest has arrived. The two girls stand to greet the man. Jae Eun smile freezes as she sees the figure enter the room.

don't forget to check out my TIME series with GOT7. Mark is completed although written years ago and has many typos, it was my first and I'll get back to editing it eventually. I posted the first chapters of Jackson and Jinyoung. I've started Jinyoung's soon after Mark's so the writing may differ slightly, whereas Jackson's takes a whole new point of view.

I've been fans of GOT7 since their debut and they just had a comeback and I am so proud of them. Please check them out and support them. They, like many other groups deserve some love.

If you've read this far you're amazing. I wish you good health and hope for your bright future
