Today is the day, and I am hella scared. KQ Entertainment, will finally reveal why we left the show.

I know that some ATINYs will have different reactions towards this but I want to stay honest to our fans.

"Manager Kim" I called him out before he finally heads out of the practice room, the others were in there too.

"I am sorry if this might have a bad impact to our image and if sales start to drop, by I believe that other ATINYs will still stay" I said. He smiled at me and gave me a pat on the shoulder.

"Remember, I didn't really set out a dating ban so that you can still choose to love. My artists are humans too, and don't worry everything will be taken care of" he said and walked out of the room.

"You are so lucky" - Seonghwa

"Hyung, deserves it after being in to so much hurt from the past" - Jongho

"I hope ATINYs will understand it" - Yeosang

"Don't worry, they will" - Mingi

I fished my phone out of my pocket to update my girlfriend about what is happening.

After talking to her for a bit, I headed off to my studio room to compose and edit some rap verses for me and Mingi's solo.

Manager Kim

Hongjoong and the rest of ATEEZ has given me so much fame and I want to treat them as properly as I could.

Ever since Yoon Aerim was hired in, they really felt deep affection for each other.

Besides, I really believe that my artists' happiness is my number one priority.

"Good morning Mr. Kim, thank you for coming to my show" the host said, I smiled but I was nervous.

"No, thank you for inviting me in. Looks like I have a lot of explaining to do" I said trying to keep the ambiance fresh.

"Let's jump in directly, why did Kim Hongjoong of ATEEZ decide to leave the show? Is it a joint decision with Ms. Yoon?" I breathe in slowly and answered it truthfully.

"Yes, it was a joint decision" I timidly said and kept my cool in. One burden off my chest now.

"Why did they left? Can you tell us?" now is the moment of truth. It will definitely shock everybody.

"Hongjoong and Ms. Yoon Aerim, left the show to officially date" then a moment of silence. The host was even surprised at what I said.

"Is it true then?" he asked again. I smiled and nodded enthusiastically at him. He stilled and stared at me.

"I confirm it on behalf of my artist, that's all thank you. Rest of the details will be sent in later at night" I said. I bowed down to them and left the show.

Before I got in the car, my phone suddenly buzzed. I took it out and saw it was Hongjoong.

Kim Hongjoong

I guess my work here is done. I am still hoping the fans will let him be and let him choose his happiness now.
