“What, what are you talking about! You’re canceling our contract…!”

“… … .”

The moment Director Min heard those words from Seo Yu-jin, he felt as if he had been hit in the head with a hammer.

Seo Yu-jin’s remarks were that shocking.

“Whew… , no, what the… !”

Although he was so flustered that he almost hyperventilated, Director Min quickly regained his composure and asked Seo Yu-jin again.

“Hoo… , hoo… . … Eugene, it’s embarrassing when you suddenly say that. Terminating the contract… .”

“… I’m sorry. But… , I didn’t say it in the heat of the moment, I thought about it for a long time before saying it.”

“So you’re thinking of quitting being an idol?”

“… … .”

Judging from Seo Yu-jin’s expression, it seemed like she had no intention of quitting being an idol.

then….

“… What kind of fucking company is tampering… ”

“Tae, it’s not tampering…! You just made a casual suggestion and I desperately want it…!”

“If you contact a trainee who hasn’t even finished their contract with us, that in itself is tampering, Eugene.”

“… … .”

Seo Yu-jin still had a lot of time left on her contract with SAV.

Moreover, it was SAV who taught Seo Yu-jin, who was an ordinary person who knew nothing in the past, and laid the foundation for her to become a trainee.

Now that the investments made so far have borne fruit, what kind of impertinent company would try to take only the best from you?

“What’s the name of that company? We can’t let this go. We need to protest this at the company level… .”

Director Min, whose anger was on the edge of his seat, had no intention of letting this matter go.

It was only natural that he couldn’t let Seo Yu-jin go, and he wanted to retaliate against the reckless act of tampering with SAV.

but….

“… Eugene.”

“… … .”

“… Are you crying?”

“… … Sob.”

Seeing Seo Yu-jin’s tears, which were as bright as chicken poop for the first time, Director Min was unable to think about anything else.

The Seo Yu-jin she knew was a girl who was more used to being irritable than shedding tears… .

As Director Min stared blankly in bewilderment, Seo Yu-jin began to speak slowly, tears streaming down her face.

“I, I too… I know this is rude… .”

“… … .”

“… I’m sorry, I really wanted to continue playing as a team with the Rookies sisters… .”

… Seo Yu-jin is sincere now.

I really want to get out of SAV.

‘shit….’

Director Min knew better than anyone that when the mind leaves, the body will somehow follow.

So she changed her strategy and started to appease Seo Yu-jin.

“… Eugene. I understand that you don’t want to break up with the Rookies right now. But won’t you regret it? ”

“… … .”

“You were so proud of being a member of SAV. You even admired other SAV idol seniors.”

Seo Yu-jin had a deep admiration for the company whenever she first entered SAV, and she never hid her feelings.

Seo Yu-jin loved SAV more than any other trainee.

“You know? There is no better agency in Korea than SAV.”

“… … .”

“But you’re giving up SAV and going to another company just because of love? Aren’t you confident that you won’t regret it later?”

Director Min tried to persuade Seo Yu-jin by taking advantage of her feelings.

but….

“… Yes.”

“… … .”

“I don’t think I’ll regret it… .”

Seo Yu-jin’s heart was much stronger than expected.

‘ah.’

There was another reason why Director Min cherished Seo Yu-jin, aside from her outstanding abilities.

‘I, I’m a SAV trainee starting today? A, Awesome…!! I’ll do well from now on! Thank you!!!’

Just as Director Min loved his company SAV… young Seo Yu-jin also loved SAV with sparkling eyes.

She is proud of her affiliation… and loves her company….

Because I was confident that it would definitely succeed.

But now, Seo Yu-jin’s sparkling eyes were not directed at SAV, but somewhere else.

Director Min said that it was very disappointing…

I didn’t want to make that sparkle disappear.

Only then did Director Min realize.

The Seo Yu-jin she likes is… not the Seo Yu-jin who loves SAV, but the Seo Yu-jin with sparkling eyes who loves something.

“… Bitch.”

“… Director Min.”

Director Min said….

“… … Of course, I can’t decide on my own. I have to talk to the CEO.”

“… … !”

I couldn’t let Seo Yu-jin go because my heart had already left her.

As soon as Director Min gave his seemingly consent, Seo Yu-jin held her hand while shedding tears.

“… Mr. Min. I’m sorry… and thank you.”

“Okay! I’ll talk to the CEO and get a huge penalty.”

“D, I’ll give it to you! My family has a lot of money!”

“What are you talking about? I’m going to get it from that brazen company, not you! If you dare to steal our child, you must be prepared for that, right? What’s the name of that company?!”

In this way, Seo Yu-jin began the process of terminating her contract with SAV, the company she loved so much and was proud of.

**

Lee Hye-jeong, Park Yu-jeong, and Na Hanna signed the contract the next day.

As usual, I went to work at the Brothers Planning office with my older brother Sang-gu.

and….

“… … Huh?”

“Yerin-ah.”

“Sister-!!!”

You could find Yoo Seol waiting for someone in the lobby on the first floor of the building.

I thought you weren’t interested in the Brothers Project because you said you hadn’t heard from Yoo Seol for a while…!

“, are you here to sign a contract?”

“Yeah.”

“What about JJ Enter?”

“… … .”

Yoo Seol smiled and answered my question.

“JJ said they would debut me as a solo artist.”

“… … !”

“But I came here. … Because I wanted to continue to be a team with you, Hyejeong, and the other younger sisters.”

“Sister!”

“Wow… !”

I couldn’t hold back my emotions at the joy that Yuseol had chosen us and ran to her and hugged her.

Of course, since Yoo Seol was smaller than me, I was holding her in my arms.

“I… Yerin. I can’t breathe.”

“It couldn’t have been an easy choice… . Thank you… .”

I held her in my arms tightly and buried her face in my chest.

At first, Yoo Seol also struggled, but soon she smiled as if she had given up and hugged me tightly.

And so the two of them sat together for a few minutes.

“Huh?”

“Sister Seol-!!”

“Seol-ah-!!”

Just then, Kang Hyung-man came into the building to pick up the other members.

“How did you come here?”

“You came here to sign a contract, right? ”

“Yeah, I came to make a contract.”

“Waaa-!!”

We all enjoyed the joy of reunion together.

That day, Yoo Seol, like the other members, quickly signed a contract.

And…, only one piece of the remaining rookies remained.

**

The members who had completed the contract, including me, gathered in the conference room.

The one who called us was Han Si-woo, and he told us something unexpected.

“Eugene… might not be able to come to the brother project?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“… … .”

As we were silent at the shocking news, Han Si-woo began to explain.

“Actually… I received a call from Eugene Yang saying she wanted to come to Brother Planning.”

“Eugene is here… !”

I was touched by the news that Seo Yu-jin, who was so proud of her company SAV, wanted to come to Brother Planning… .

“But the SAV representative is not very pleased. There is still a lot of time left on Eugene’s contract… .”

“Ah… .”

It seemed that a contract between two parties was not something that could be easily broken or established.

“Please wait a little longer since CEO Kang is talking directly with SAV.”

“Yes… .”

All we can do is just trust Kang Hyung-man and wait.

While everyone was anxious, Yoo Seol raised her hand and asked a question.

“Producer Han Si-woo. What will happen to the group if Eugene can’t come?”

“If Eugene Yang can’t come… I think we’ll debut with just the five members without adding any more members.”

The five of us here will debut… .

In fact, when forming a group, odd numbers tend to be preferred because they are easier to form camps with.

There are five of them here, and the combination balance is good, so the absence of Seo Yu-jin does not cause a significant drop in quality.

but….

‘I still wish Eugene would come… .’

Still, I desperately hoped that Seo Yu-jin would come to Brother Planning.

I really wish she would debut again too.

In addition to the five here, Seo Yu-jin would have been needed to complete the Rookies.

“I think the conversation is over. The CEO is said to be on his way to the office building now.”

I wonder if my prayers were answered.

30 minutes after Han Si-woo informed us that Kang Hyung-man was returning.

Kang Hyung-man entered the conference room with an expressionless face.

…with Seo Yu-jin right next to him.

“Eugene!”

“What happened…, wait….”

We thought everything was over well when we saw Eugene following us.

however….

“… … .”

“… … .”

Why were the two people’s expressions not bright?

Kang Hyung-man is usually expressionless, so that’s understandable… but Seo Yu-jin’s complexion wasn’t good either.

We realized the seriousness of the situation and asked hesitantly.

“Why…, is that so?”

“Eugene…, didn’t it go well?”

At this, Seo Yu-jin covered her eyes with her palm as if she was about to cry… .

“… Okay.”

“… Hmm?”

“The contract has been made! I am now a brother planner!!”

Soon, his face changed into a smile and he threw himself at us.

“What?”

“Hey!!”

Seo Yu-jin, whose acting skills were worse than mine, is now all grown up and teases her older sisters.

Only then did we realize that we had been fooled, so we pretended to hit Seo Yu-jin on the back and gathered around her to hug her.

Rookies, who were expected to disband after a short one-year hiatus, have dramatically reunited under Brother Planning.

Of course, after a while.

“I don’t think I can use the name Rookies.”

We have some new, sad news, though.
