The four exited the building with the three all over Taeyong. "Hey! Why didn't you tell us that your company has a partnership with Sun", Lucas exclaimed. "Because I know that one of the companies that is scouting you is Sun and I don't want you to be biased", Taeyong answered laughing at their reaction. "Either way, we will be working with you still", Jae-seong said. "You got that right! Now, I'm starving", Taeyong said rubbing his stomach.
"Shall we celebrate", Ten asked. "Celebrate what", Lucas asked Ten. "The new life ahead of us", Ten answered. "Call! I'll text Jaehyun and Mark to join us", Jae-seong exclaimed. "Don't forget Yuta", Lucas said which made Jae-seong furrow her eyebrows. Ten then patted Jae-seong's back and nodded at her. "Fine", Jae-seong said walking past them towards Taeyong's car. "Hey! Why do you always leave us behind", Lucas exclaimed following her which made Ten and Taeyong laugh.
They then decided on where to eat as they rode along the roads. Not long after Jae-seong suddenly remembered where her and Taeyong used to always eat whenever she’s in Seoul for a modeling gig. “Sure thing”, Taeyong said once Jae-seong mentioned it which made her visibly ecstatic.
"What's taking them so long", Jae-seong whined. "We are hungry too", Lucas said. "I don't want to stay out here any longer", Jae-seong said shivering. Not long after, Taeyong removed his coat an put it on Jae-seong. After putting it on her he then placed an arm on her shoulders. "U-uhm...", Jae-seong stuttered, her face turning red. "Stay warm", Taeyong said smiling at Jae-seong. She just nodded and leaned her head on Taeyong's shoulder.
"The other day it was Ten, now Taeyong? Where are you going with this", Lucas asked shocked seeing Jae-seong and Taeyong. "Stop being such a baby", Jae-seong said hugging Taeyong. "W-what", Taeyong stuttered now blushing as well. "Right?! This girl got some nerves", Lucas exclaimed. "Hey hey hey they're here", Ten said which made Jae-seong separate from Taeyong and ran to Jaehyun. Jae-seong then hugged Jaehyun in an instant and buried her face on Jaehyun's chest.
"Aww what's wrong", Jaehyun asked hugging Jae-seong back. "I just don't think I am ready for this", Jae-seong said. "Then why did you sign the contract", Jaehyun asked. "I honestly don't know", Jae-seong answered. "You poor thing", Jaehyun teased which made Jae-seong punch him. "Hey hey just kidding. You're just doubting yourself. Look at me", Jaehyun said cupping Jae-seong's cheeks with his hands.
"You can doubt yourself all you want, but me? I believe in you. You have so much potential and I know it. It's now time to spread your wings and break free from the cage that our mom locked you in. It's time you ignore the voices that keeps on holding you down, listen to me instead and those who believe in you", Jaehyun said smiling at Jae-seong as he stared unto her eyes.
"You'll never leave me, right", Jae-seong asked. "I won't. Never", Jaehyun answered. "Promise me", Jae-seong said. "I promise on death", Jaehyun said. "Hey! Why are you crying", Yuta asked hearing Mark sniffle. "This is just so beautiful", Mark answered holding up his phone. "Of course he has to be recording everything", Yuta said throwing his hands in the air and walked towards Taeyong, Ten, and Lucas.
"How did it go", Yuta asked. "It went smoothly", Ten answered. "Looks like I have a huge disadvantage in this competition", Yuta said scratching his nape. "Don't tell me that you're backing out", Taeyong said. "Oh no, I'm just thinking on how to up my game", Yuta responded. "Well, she hugged me earlier", Taeyong bragged. "I can't believe how far behind I am", Yuta sighed in disbelief.
Not long after, Jaehyun, Jae-seong, and Mark joined them. They entered the restaurant and sat down at what they call the 'VIP table'. "You still had to show off", Jae-seong said face palming herself. "You know me too well", Taeyong responded. Moments later Jae-seong's phone started vibrating like crazy. "What's that? Is it an emergency", Mark asked. Phones of Lucas and Ten started vibrating like crazy as well.
"News spread so fast", Jae-seong said scrolling through her phone. "People already know that we signed with Sun", Lucas added. "Yeah, and they're asking if it's true and how did we do it", Ten added as well. "How did they know", Yuta asked. "Apparently, after we left Sun, they announced that we are added to Rookies", Ten said showing the article to them.
"I kinda wanna skip school now", Jae-seong said. "Isn't that the plan though", Lucas asked making Jae-seong laugh. "We didn't even start training yet", Jae-seong said laughing. "How will we escape this one", Lucas asked. "There's just one way", Ten said. "We don't", Jae-seong added finishing the sentence.
