Xion's Exposure
When everything was ready, they played the raw recording to the viewers. Voyagers, the Fandom of Aventurine listen closely to the recording, at first it was only Yuqi's husky voices in the recording but after the song reach 10 seconds, the sound of piano can be heard filled the song at 30 second of the song, the viewers are stirred greatly with anticipation, when the song reach 45 second, Yuqi's raw voice and piano's sound melted the heart of the viewers, even Manager Park Sangjin wasn't expecting something like this will happened, he was deeply swayed by the song.
Aventurine members are expecting such reaction from everyone, when the song reaches 65 seconds, all the members quickly says goodbye to the viewers and end the vlive. Manager Park was upset about being cut short like that and almost scolding the girls when he realized the effect that the song brings to him.
Park Sangjin was dumbfounded and found himself acting like that makes him crave for more, he then asked the girl to listen to the song once again but the girl says that it was just a raw recording and still needs more changes in it.
He then listened closely and found out that the piano sound is really great and it compliments Yuqi's voice but the lyrics are a bit cliche and mediocre. It was a difXion-ahent case with the Voyagers, they are mind blowing, even that one minute snippets are replayed over and over again in social media. The next day, other Voyagers who are also fans of other Idol groups asked their idol if they have listened to Yuqi's short song, because of the massive request by their fans, they played the recorded vlive version on their own vlive.
These idols get shivers on their back listening to the song and give their positive feedback on the song itself. Contrary to people's expectation, Tourniquet didn't approve the song since they know their composers can't play the song as well as the original piano player. When they asked Aventurine, they just told that Yiren's brother was in a music studio at that time and played it as an impromptu performance since they didn't want Xion's life to become disturbed because of them.
Xion, not knowing what had happened, is talking together with Seonho and Hyesoo. He wanted to get back to Seoul and joined the upcoming reality survival competition that produces idols from the famous Mnet Station that has produced lots of groups. he then asked Seonho to find him an agency where he can become a trainee there. Hyesoo was surprised about his plans but he said that she would still be with him for a long time since she will be his true personal videographer from now on. Seonho agreed to prepare everything for him and wrap up things on both ends. Unknown to Xion, Seonho reported everything to Yuyeon and she just nodded and told him that someone will meet him in Seoul.
Apparently last year, before Xion, Hyesoo and Seonho traveled abroad, Yuyeon already bought low tier labels that were struggling but have decent artists, it was Happyface Entertainment, the labels last year was on the verge of bankruptcy because their artist wasn't have a good selling of albums and minimal response from the public, and they only have one group at that time which is Dreamcatcher, a seven member girl group with Jiu, Sua, Siyeon, Handong, Yoohyeon, Dami and Gahyeon as the members. Yuyeon secretly goes to the company and finds the company's atmosphere is to her liking, it was a family like atmosphere and no hard pressure was given to their artist, even their artist is given a good environment to extend their ability even with their minimal resources.
She then arranged a meeting with the CEO / Owner of the company and expressed her mind, even though they are on the verge of bankruptcy the owner of the company states his mind clearly not to pushed their artist too far like other small agencies did, Yuyeon understand his intention clearly and said that she only need the company to accept or train certain artist from her if she ever send one, she even didn't intended to take any profit from the company in 2 years after she invested in it and will only started to earn profit when her artist already become their members. This proposal was kinda weird for Lee Joowon but he still accepted her proposal, and thus Yuyeon then became co-owner with Lee Joowon but all the management issues were fully entrusted to the latter without any interference from Yuyeon at all.
Over time, Yuyeon and Lee Joowon became good friends. Lee Joowon then decided to change the company name and Yuyeon just casually says to name it Dreamcatcher's Company as it has double meaning, the company where the artist is Dreamcatcher and a company that tried to make many dreams into reality. Lee Joowon finds the idea excellent and later changes it; both of them keep contact most of the weeks even just for casual chats, Yuyeon just slowly watches Dreamcatcher's every performance and finds that the community is growing and growing which makes her relieved in her trust in Lee Joowon. One day, Yuyeon asked him to look for a certain girl, named Jieun.
4 Days after the birthday, Seonho is meeting Lee Joowon for the first time since the latter called him because of Yuyeon's request, but he keeps it hidden that Yuyeon is the co-owner of the company. He just pretended that it was a business-like meeting, even Seonho was not suspecting anything. He turned the conversation upside down by asking if Seonho wanted to be their artist manager since some of Seonho's friends that are also managers for an artist still thinks that he got no job at the moment, Seonho then turned down his offer politely, he then continued relentlessly if Seonho already managing someone, Seonho then say yes and he asked if the artist is related to any labels at the moments, and he said no, and counter him if he is interested for Xion. He also mentioned that his artist already has his own videographer and it makes Lee Joowon surprised. He decided to check Xion's video portfolio and instantly know that this is not a rough gem to be molded, but a gem that needs its place in the center of the world and can shine by himself either with labels or no labels. He then thinks about how to do Xion's Exposure. He then agreed to have Xion as their artist but he wanted Xion to come to the company together with Seonho tomorrow for a formal personal audition. Seonho agreed and arranged everything for Xion.
The next day, Xion, Hyesoo and Seonho came to Dreamcatcher's company to have an audition. Seonho already talked to Xion and after checking the artist from Dreamcatcher's company did Xion's agree to it, but there's a hidden motive from him that he's hiding from Seonho.
In the audition room, Hyesoo sits and waits for the team to come. Since the labels only have a small office of 4 floors, the audition was held in the training room. Last night, Xion has checked his stats in the system and everything is perfect for him but because of his nervousness, he checked it again and again and again before the scheduled event.

While Xion is checking his stats, One by One the members of Dreamcatcher enter the training room. All seven girls were present, Xion immediately greeted them, while Hyesoo greeted them later.
They have a brief introduction but something unexpected that makes Seonho and Hyesoo off-guard happened that instant. Xion just confessed to Jiu, the leader of Dreamcatcher. "Jiu Sunbae-nim, Do you have a boyfriend? What do you think of me? Xion just blurted out his mind. Hyesoo just stares at him, while Seonho was internally shocked greatly trying to think about countermeasures. The Dreamcatcher member was astounded and looked back at Jiu, who blushed instantly.
