??? : By any chance, are you Kim Namjoon's new manager?

SEOL AH : Yeh? Ah, yes. You know him?

??? : Who? Namjoon-ie? (-laughs-) Who doesn't know him? Besides, we have got a long history too. (-smiles-)

She smiled back, hearing him address Namjoon with a friendly tone and assumed amiable relations with him.

SEOL AH : (-hesitant-) I apologize, but you are..?

??? : You didn't recognize me? I wasn't expecting that from Joon-ie but I guess I have to work harder. (-grins-) Well, I own an entertainment agency in Gangnam.

It just clicked her mind that it might be Bang PD and before he specified his vague answers, she spoke up- trying to manage the disrespect he might've felt.

SEOL AH : Please pardon my unfamiliarity. Are you, by chance, Bang PD-nim?

??? : (-forced grin-) Onh, if you say so. I am a PD afterall.

SEOL AH : (-confused-) Yeh?

PD : (-ignores her fluster-) I wanted to talk to you about our Joon-ie. Can we do it over some tea, if you don't mind?

Meanwhile Kim, forcing himself through the flock of people, looked around for her when he was interrupted by a call from Namjoon.

KIM : (-answering the call-) Yes, sir?

NJ : Onh, reached already?

KIM : Yes, I did. Did you say, it was Urban Pub- Onh! Found her.

NJ : Alrigh-

KIM : But..

NJ : But?

KIM : She is talking to Seong PD.

NJ : What?! Are you sure?

KIM : Yes, his face is fairly visible and.. they are going inside the pub now.

Namjoon's fist tightened as his eyes from the sleepy lids were stretched out sharp. Seong PD finding out about his managers was the last thing he ever wanted. And the fate of chance had to deliberately walk to him.

He wouldn't care if forcing his managers with the restrictions he set, made his image of a boss who hates them. So far, Seol Ah was the only one who had maxed out on the hassles to follow them with best interest. 

The incident of blowing off the contract with SK, was a lesson Namjoon learnt faster than alphabets. He wanted to protect anybody who were around him or worked for him, by any means, from Seong PD.

If that's what they name "hate", he would most gladly say,

"Hating you was the best I could do for you~"

NJ : (-over the call-) Kim, listen to me. No matter the situation there, just bring her right back to the house.

KIM : (-serious-) Okay, at your call.

Soon as he ended the call, an old lady, who stood her Tteobeokki(spicy rice cakes) stand, started to throw a fit. Apparently his car, which was momentarily parked there, blocked her customers.

KIM : Harmoni, please calm down. I will move the car now. I apologize. (-bows-)

HARMONI : Mindless kids these days! Why did you even park here!
