Yumi left the conference room, and the remaining Jo Sung-hyun and Park Jung-won looked at each other.
"What happened?"
"It seems like it leaked from the PR team. They must have been waiting for it."
Toothless Cat was a popular composer now, and Yumi was a rookie, although her popularity was gradually increasing.
If she was a singer with a huge popularity, it would be a great benefit to have a news article saying that Toothless Cat wrote a song for her, but it was different from a rookie's perspective. The PR team must have been preparing for various things as well.
It was not decided yet, but it was a problem that no one had thought of that Yumi would not accept Toothless Cat's song.
Park Jung-won, and the other team members, all showed a positive reaction that Toothless Cat's song would be good anyway. How would the others feel?
They were trying hard to get a song, and they even got a song, but not doing it was a stupid choice.
"Anyway, it's a relief. It's solved like this. Yumi seems to listen to your words well."
"It's not that she listens to my words well. I just explained it calmly."
"No, it feels a bit different when she talks to me."
Park Jung-won shook his head firmly, as if it was completely different.
"It's definitely different. Yumi must be busy and confused because she has a music video shooting tomorrow, so I understand that she is sensitive, but as soon as you show up, she listens to the explanation first. She feels less sensitive when you are there."
"......"
Jo Sung-hyun shrugged his shoulders, as he had never thought about it.
It's true, he muttered, and Park Jung-won changed his words.
"But why do you hate Toothless Cat's song so much?"
"I don't hate it. I just don't like the feeling."
"That's the same thing. What are you going to do about it? You said you don't want to do it, so she said she won't do it and left."
"I really think it's better not to do it."
Jo Sung-hyun answered without hesitation.
At his words, Park Jung-won nodded his head, saying that he knew it.
"I guess so."
"When did I ever do something unreliable? Let's not proceed with this one. Team leader."
"At least when it comes to music, I know you're usually right, but it's a shame. It's a shame."
It would be more of a shame for Park Jung-won.
Because it was a song he had obtained through his own hard work.
It wouldn't be easy to give up.
It was a good song by anyone's standards, and it would be a strong support for Yumi's mini album.
Nevertheless, the reason why Park Jung-won couldn't strongly push the song to Yumi was because he had a certain level of trust in Jo Sung-hyun's abilities.
If other team members had said it, he would have just passed it off as nothing, but if Jo Sung-hyun said it, he would at least consider it.
"I don't know. I have to take Yumi home for now, so I'm off."
Park Jung-won said that and waved his hand.
As Jo Sung-hyun waved his hand to bid farewell, he suddenly remembered something and chased after Park Jung-won.
"Team leader!"
"Hmm?"
"Can I go too?"
Taking Yumi home was not a difficult task, and he also had to ask Chaeyoon about going together tomorrow.
Park Jung-won, the team leader, looked at Jo Sung-hyun with a puzzled look, and then, judging that it would be better for Jo Sung-hyun to step forward in the current situation, he rummaged through his pocket and threw out the keys.
"Take care. Thank you."
"Yeah."
Jo Sung-hyun replied and chased after Yumi, who was walking ahead.
* * *
Thud.
The door closed, and Yumi breathed out heavily.
She looked at Jo Sung-hyun sitting in the driver's seat and spoke.
"I'm sorry about earlier, oppa."
"No, it's not your fault. We're the ones who were wrong. We're sorry."
"Well, it wasn't really your fault. It would have been better if you had told me, but you didn't really have an obligation to tell me."
Yumi said.
After hearing her explanation, Jo Sung-hyun wondered why she had come to the company and acted that way.
"Oppa."
"Yes, Yumi."
"Who was the manager this time? What was his name... It was something like Bin."
There is only one manager with the name Bin at the company.
"Jeong Bin?"
"Yes, that manager. He said something like that. He said the company has high expectations for me."
"Oh, did he? There are indeed high expectations. The album will do well this time."
"But then, he said something like... What was it? He said to work hard and make money for the company."
"Huh?"
