I stood in DG's office, fulfilling Chairman's orders to guard Crystal. The room was filled with an air of tension as Crystal and I engaged in conversation. It was Crystal's desire to be here, and I obliged. We occupied plush couches, discussing a specific topic - Yui. In the midst of our conversation, my phone rang, displaying the name Seon Wook Do (I prefer putting the name of places on the specific contacts, So I can determine who it is and it was).

"Have you already collected the money?" I inquired, my gaze shifting to the wine glass before me.

"Yes, yes. We collected all the money, but we were attacked, and it's stolen," Seon Wook Do reported with a sigh.

"You should call yourselves..." I scoffed at their negligence.

"We are, yes, yes," he replied.

"Cowardly fools," I criticized them, disapproving of their lack of commitment. "Is he still there?"

"Cowardly, yes," came his answer.

"You should be ashamed of yourselves," I scolded, my irritation evident, though I maintained the composure required for the situation.

"Yes, I am ashamed," he admitted, sparing himself from denial. The weight of his sigh echoed through the phone. "But we are not strong enough."

"So you want me to take care of it when I visit this month?" I clarified, discerning the unspoken request in his words.

"Y-yes, I am sorry," he apologized, his voice tinged with fear. A grin spread across my face, accompanied by a silent chuckle.

"Hm. Too bad. I'm not the collector anymore," I casually mentioned, crossing my legs as I chuckled softly.

"What?! So what should we do?!" Panic crept into his voice.

"Collecting is Goo's responsibility. I will tell him," I assured, feeling a hint of annoyance.

"Oh... Yes! Yes! Thank you!" he thanked as I ended the call.

"Whew, so annoying," I muttered, though Crystal's comment only fueled my amusement.

"Still, you look happy that you don't collect now," she observed.

"I'm happy for Goo to have double the work," I replied with a soft smile, meeting Crystal's intense gaze. "How nice it is that the president has me guarding you? Compared to collecting, helping you is nothing."

"Guarding?! You mean observing! And you're not helping! When Yui called, how come you didn't go? They said you didn't show up!" Crystal reprimanded me, bringing up a forgotten detail. I chuckled confidently.

"I did. It just wasn't for me to butt into," I explained truthfully defend my side. "The opponent of Yui was also one of the school's which bribed the collecting department, and Yui was on your side, so I couldn't take one side."

"At least you should have mediated!" she expressed dissatisfaction.

"But Yui had that guy on her side," I clarified. "The guy that the president told me to keep my eye on, so I couldn't really butt in."

Crystal and I continued to argue until DG interjected.

"Um... this guy, could I see him?" DG asked, leaving me puzzled.

"You? But you're busy... why?" I questioned, aware of DG's hectic schedule with shootings and modeling.

"No reason... Since the president is watching him," DG said, holding his wine cup, adding to my confusion. "I just became interested in him."

"Well, go ahead," I replied, allowing DG to pursue his curiosity. I looked around and asked him, "Anyway, did your agency decorate this place?"

He nodded, expressing his discontent. "But I don't like it."
