Come Rain or Shine

Breaking ground

Chan is drinking alone again at the hotel bar in Japan. He's here for another meeting with JYPE Japan. Knowing that Chan is drinking alone, Sooyoung comes to the bar and meets him.

"PD-nim you're here alone again"

Chan is smirking.

"Sooyoung-ah, I know that you stalk me, don't act as we meet here by fate or something. Sit down"

Sooyoung smiles and sits down in front of him while ordering a glass of wine.

"Oh classy, never think that people from A&R Team would have a classy taste"

"Well, I am a little bit different," said it while pushing back her hair teasingly.

"So many times I've been to Japan, but only for working, what a waste," Sooyoung said.

Chan smirks, "Yeah tell that to the company, ask them to give us at least a day off"

Chan raise his glass, followed by Sooyoung

They ended up talking all night long. And also the next night after.

Chan was pretty open about his music, they talked about career paths and opportunities, they got into some deep talk conversation as well. Chan is extroverted, everyone in the company knows that he's easy to talk to, but he also manages to have a certain charisma around him. Sooyoung asks how he managed to go abroad all the time, staying in the hotel room all the time. And Chan said that sometimes he gets confused, whether abroad is home our real house is home for him. Sooyoung learned about his loneliness right away.

"Oh, Jihyo! You wait long? I thought you're in Japan" Mina is surprised to see Jihyo in front of her apartment

"Nah, they're in Japan not for the project, but the creative team meeting"

"Come on in" Both then enter the apartment, Jihyo directly lays her body on the sofa.

"Can I spend a night here? Since Channie is in Japan" Jihyo asks

"Of course, you can sleep with me"

"Nice!"

"Ah I almost forgot, I need to remind Channie about Sujin's school"

Mina then dials Chan's number and puts it on speaker.

"Oh don't put it on speaker, I don't want to hear your household matters"

"Hel...?" Mina doesn't even finish her sentence.

"Hello, sunbaenim"

"Oh? Who's this?" Mina said it confusedly while looking at Jihyo. Jihyo gets up and sits on the sofa.

"Oh this is Sooyoung"

"Ah Sooyoung-ssi"

"Don't get me wrong but PD-nim left his phone here and I pick it up"

Mina then put off the speaker.

"It's okay, it's okay. Please tell PD-nim that I called him, okay?"

"Okay Sunbaenim"

Mina hung up and smiled confusedly to Jihyo.

"Okay, we need to talk about that," Jihyo speaks.

"What?"

"How can you be so sure that there's nothing wrong?"

"Jihyo-ya, if I decided not to trust Channie, I would do it a long long time ago"
