"Hey what are you doing."

Woo-Jin knocked on the recording room as he was in Junho's house, it was currently empty and he couldn't find him anywhere, as soon as he saw him he found out he was playing with the piano and creating a melody, he sat back quietly as he listened.

"You're here Hyung."

"Yeah, they called me earlier the decision will be finalized next week again as you've made it difficult for them on who gets the role until then you've got nothing to do but practice."

"Alright, so my schedule from January to August is clear if I don't get the role, and besides if I remember correctly I'll only have around ten minutes to twenty minutes of screen time and If things go right they'll only need me for one month, so that means five months of freedom left."

"Shooting takes time you know so stretch it out for two months just to be safe we don't know the schedules of the other actors you're going to be with, so expect some delays."

"I see so that's four months then scratch two months for the debut preparation and the debut itself, that leaves me with two months of freedom."

Woo-Jin raised his eyebrows as soon as he saw Junho pull out a whiteboard and started writing on it, he saw how detailed it was as soon as Junho started it was until then he realized something.

"You."

"Yeah a Solo comeback, since I'm contractually not with Pegasus as a solo artist aside from being in the new group I can do what I want, and with the new members being vocalists I think I need to establish a reputation as a soloist and being an all rounder even more."

"I can't argue with that."

"Besides at most its just a month of promotion so I'll still have a month of freedom left I guess"

"As your manager I have to say no since you're abusing your body at this rate but if that's what you want I really can't stop you since there is no stopping you so let me hear your new song then I know you already have one."

"Yeah sure we can even start shooting this week its just an easy shoot."

"Then just say that you're gonna comeback earlier."

"Well we do have a week before we get to know who I'm gonna be cast as."

-

"I'll see the two of you in four days."

Junho waved goodbye to both Eun-woo and Min-hyun as he left, it was nearly the holidays as it was the twenty-second of December, It was already snowing lightly although it was rare to happen in the cities right now it was one of those rare moments that snow had fallen.

He had gotten his driver's license and was no longer on a student license and was given a car by his grandmother as a congratulatory gift, he was gonna accept it since it was given to him and it would be a waste if he wouldn't use it. He immediately left for Cheongdam-dong.

He immediately tuned into the radio and to his surprise his songs were still playing, as it ended he heard the host wondering when he would comeback since his songs were songs of the year worthy in his eyes.

Junho just smiled and continued driving, as he was reminiscing his first year as Idol, overall he would rate it was great but it could have been greater, he couldn't complain since he got to debut and was in a prestigious agency who knows how many groups debuted but failed to hit it off.

He then put on his glasses he bought earlier in the system including a mask that had special effects that would make it harder for paparazzi's to take a picture and identify him, as he was driving he was observing and was told by the system that there were non currently following him after he left the agency.

As he continued driving he eventually arrived at Cheongdam-dong, he continued his journey until he saw young woman with bags at a stop sitting down alone, he chuckled and called her as he pulled up to her.

"You know it was getting colder by the minute."

"Let me help you."

Junho stepped out of the car and placed her bags at the trunk, the two eventually went inside after they had finished.

"So where are we going?"

"Didn't you say we're going back to Daegu?"

"Do you want to eat?"

"No I have to diet, the company is cracking down on my weight."

"You're already fine as it is?"

"Not to them I'm not,"

"Then let's just get some food on the way."

"Hey do you think I'm old? By Idol standards I mean."

"No you're still fairly young"

"I'm turning twenty two next year and you're gonna turn twenty one."

"And like I said you're still young, Bom and Dara Noona debuted when they were twenty five and twenty four respectively and are still respectively at the top of the charts so age isn't an issue why are you so down today?"

"I don't know you guys are super successful and I can't wait to be successful too, I don't wanna be known as just that 'Idol's girlfriend'"

Junho just laughed and looked at Choo-hyun who was pouting, he eventually started the engine and drove.

"You know in the future people are gonna be saying that 'I'm that Idol's boyfriend' just you wait you'll be successful in your own right, just be patient Hyun-ah."

"Do you think I'll debut next year?"

"No, perhaps the year after next year."

"Why?"

"You'll see why, just you wait next year is gonna be a crazy year besides you're gonna debut either way M.S. is just too busy with G.G and f(x) right now once the second half of their contract begins that's when they'll pour their entire resource onto you guys."

"Alright I'll believe you, so are you gonna be the one producing our debut song?"

"Now where did you hear that?"

"It's just going on the company plus if I'm not mistaken you've already dissolved your exclusive producer contract didn't you?"

"How"

"I know many secrets in M.S even your producer contract in fact I've heard that they're considering you to be the one to produce one or two songs in a group as for which"

"It's going to be yours, I know their CEO, as long as JYP and Galaxy delays their new girl groups Lee Man Soo will want to debut you guys first before any of the big three does and what better way than to go with the trend of course they're going to want me to change my pen name if that ever happens."

"I knew you would say that so here's more and I want you to confirm it!"

Choo-hyun immediately took out her phone and began telling Junho the company secrets, Junho just listened and laughed as she kept listing it down one by one as they went back to Daegu.

-

Jihyun was at Crown Agency, her own company right now she was looking at different documents, she had gotten hang of it overtime, she wondered when she would be able to debut her own girl group, the songs were already there but like Junho said the skills still need time some polishing.

As she was reading her own trainee Zhou Jieqiong came in with a new man she was not familiar with, as that was happening her own secretary ran behind them with the company lawyer her grandfather had given her.

"Director-nim."

"Jieqiong?"

"I'm sorry."

The man behind Zhou Jieqiong suddenly gave a notice of termination, Jihyun was surprised at this but nonetheless she wasn't fazed and she looked at Zhou Jieqiong with a face full of questions.

"Why?"

"Ledis contacted me and you know it's Ledis and compared to this, even though I'm being treated extremely well I don't know if I'll be successful I just want to secure my own future but I promise I won't leak any secrets"

"Its fine, besides it's not a secret that Junho is my brother so there's that, you may go and go to my lawyer they'll take care of it."

"Thank you Director-nim"

Jihyun sighed, she was at a loss as soon as she saw them depart, after awhile she recollected her thoughts, she was right in not sharing intimate with them other than letting them know Junho is his brother and other than that there weren't any notable things.

"Director"

"What."

"Someone just arrived she says she wants to audition?"

"Say what? as a dancer or an Idol?"

"It's Choi Yu-na"

"Say that name again?"

"Choi Yu-na"
