Purely his

week later, Monte received an email from an entertainment company representative, inviting her to a meeting about a potential collaboration. She was astonished-at first, she wondered if it was a prank or a scam. But as she read on and saw the names involved, her heart raced: Enhypen wanted her to compose a track for them. The thought both thrilled and terrified Monte. Enhypen's music was different from what she typically wrote; their style was dynamic and modern, with powerful choreography to match, whereas her compositions were intimate and classical. Would she be able to adapt? Could she handle working with famous performers, given her difficulties in social situations? Despite the swirl of self-doubt, Monte's love of music ultimately won out. She responded with a cautious yes, and soon found herself on a train to Seoul for her first big meeting in the music industry.

Walking into the studio at Belift Lab (the company behind Enhypen), Monte felt like Alice stepping through the looking glass. The space was bustling with sound engineers, producers, and creatives. It smelled faintly of coffee and new electronics. Clutching her satchel of sheet music and her tablet, Monte introduced herself softly to the receptionist. Moments later, a door opened and Jungwon peeked out with a warm smile. "Monte? Hi, I'm Jungwon. We're so happy you came!" he greeted, his voice gentle and genuine. Monte, usually anxious meeting new people, found herself relaxing slightly in the presence of the young idol. There was a kindness in his eyes that put her at ease. He guided her into a conference room where the other Enhypen members-Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, and Ni-ki-were waiting curiously.
