Everyone slowly drifted back into groups to discuss tasks, leaving Dae alone again with her thoughts.
After several minutes she was startled by the ringing of her phone.
She frowned. Everyone she would talk to was standing in this room.
Jimin and Jin both turned to glance at her. They saw her glance down at her phone, the look on her face putting them both immediately on alert.
"Hello?"
"Yes."
"What?"
Long minutes of silence on her end followed.
Jin noticed the sheen of tears that threatened but then were immediately blinked back.
Jimin noticed that she was twirling her ring and that she began to chew on her lip. The ring meant she was nervous, and the lip bite meant she was feeling overwhelmed. This was not good.
"Ok"
"When?"
"Ok."
The rest of the conversation was muffled bits and pieces, then finally a quiet goodbye.
Jin moved to sit next to her, Jimin following to stand nearby.
"Are you ok?" Jin asked. By now everyone's attention was squarely on her.
She swallowed once, then twice and answered.
"That was Namjoon. He is on his way home," She told them.
They all began talking at once until YoonGi silenced them. "Stop! Let her tell us if she wants!"
Dae took a deep breath and explained, "someone called him and told him about the breach. They told him there would be trouble with the board and he was needed here. He will be here tomorrow."
"Will he make a bid to takeover?" YoonGi asked.
"I don't know. I have not talked to him in over three years," she answered.
Just then an alarm sounded on Jimin's watch.
"Ok gentleman, time to go. Let's report back late afternoon." He said.
In minutes the room was cleared but for the three of them.
"Do you know what to do? Do you have any questions?" Jimin knew they were ready, he was just putting off his next task.
"Style teams are on standby. They will get you the final touches," he said.
Jimim drew a deep breath and looked both of them in the eye, ending with a soft gaze at Dae.
"This is hard. Believe me or not, I take no joy in this," seeing comprehension dawn, he rushed on.
"Until this is well and done, the two of you can't see each other. Even if you think you can go under the radar you can't. Your profile is too great with this. You can't see each other, no phone contact, email, or social media. All that can be tracked and exposed. All work details should go through Hobi and Yoongi. No attending production meetings at the same time," he directed.
