HALA entertainment, the company you worked for, recently signed an underground band named "ATEEZ". you witnessed their raw talent and you could say that you were more than impressed. ecstatic, even. your enthusiasm grew once more when you were reassigned to be their manager.

the band was very welcoming and very happy to work with you. everyone except their lead singer, seonghwa. he has been nothing but cold and downright rude to you. it made you frustrated, especially when he was unwilling to cooperate with you.

however, things took a turn when he came to your office late one night. one thing led to another... and after that, he left. but he came back the next night. and the next. and the next. it was almost a daily occurrence. it was then you mentally established that you two were "enemies with benefits" per se. enemies in public, beneficial in private.

that was a year ago. no one has caught on yet (thank god). not long ago, the band released their debut album, becoming an instant hit worldwide. as a result, they went on a debut tour throughout the world. currently, you were in your hotel room. you were sitting at your desk working until you heard a knock. you got up and opened the door. you were unsurprised by who was standing behind it.

"we need to talk." he says plainly before you could get a breath out. he holds up a jacket by the hood with his forefinger. he eyes you expectantly.
