The guys that had successfully filled up their plates with food slowly started walking out to join Jia at the terrace. While everyone started getting comfortable on their seats, Jia's cellphone started ringing.

"Oh, yeoboseyo?" Jia talked softly into her cellphone, "oppa?"

"Hi Jia!" Wooseok, her manager, said brightly, "how is everything going?"

"It's going good! Everyone is getting food right now, is everything okay?" she figured he wasn't calling just to ask about how everything was going.

"Everything is more than okay! I just finished a meeting not too long ago and everything is ready! Your collaboration with Ariana Grande will be released in a few hours!" Wooseok was so excited.

"OMG! Really!?" Jia suddenly jumped and started yelling in delight, "I've been waiting for this for so long! It's really a dream come true!"

"You should get everyone there to watch it together with you," Wooseok smiled, he was genuinely happy for the girl.

"By the way," he said cutting off Jia's victory dance, "there's an article that's been spreading like fire during the past few days, and it's about you and that Jaemin boy, it seems like people really like your chemistry together," he started explaining, "originally for this episode, we were going to have the film crew revise and edit out any interactions between you guys that might be too scandalous, but Bang PDnim seems to be okay with leaving it as is, and we might release a statement about your childhood friendship with Na Jaemin to promote healthy friendships and relations between idols."









Jia just blinked at the lengthy speech and ended up agreeing without really thinking much about it.

"And last but not least..." Wooseok paused for dramatic effect.

"Eyy oppa, what is it, tell me already!"

"Alright you impatient child," he chuckled, "we've processed all the paperwork you filled out and things are looking great for your new label, Bang PDnim really enjoyed the name you've chosen by the way, he also really loved the other name even though you didn't use it... don't tell this to anyone at all but he has been thinking about rebranding Big Hit and he kind of wants to use that name you made for it since he really loved the meaning behind it."

Jia choked on her own saliva and started coughing uncontrollably.

"Jia are you ok?! Here have some water," K ran up to the girl with his water bottle before he opened it up and held it out for her.

"Here let me hold that for you," Jaemin walked over too and took her phone while the girl tried to catch a breath.

"Hello, this is Na Jaemin of NCT Dream," Nana started explaining to Jia's manager that the girl was alive and well, "she's drinking some water now, I'll pass over the phone once she's done," he said.

K gently rubbed her back as if that would help her coughing stop.

"Thank you for the water K, I really needed that," she thanked him once she was able to talk again.

"Are you okay now?" Jaemin looked her over making sure she was okay to continue the phone call.

"Yeah I'm better now, thank you Nana," she smiled at him before she took her cellphone back and continued the conversation as if there weren't two jealous and testosterone filled males staring down at each other waiting to see who would buckle first.

"Oppa, I'm sorry about that, you just caught me by surprise," she took a deep breath trying to calm down her racing heart, "I can't believe it, he really liked it that much? Wua, it would be such an honor! But what's going to happen to the original name? It's so iconic, it would be kind of sad for it to go away," she murmured now wanting to give away the conversation to the guys in the terrace.

"The way Bang PDnim said it was that Big Hit will forever live on as Big Hit Music, that label will never go away, but Big Hit Music, your new label Exordia, plus all the other labels are what encompasses the expanding structure that would make up HYBE," Wooseok explained, "Bang PDnim has officially approved you as the new CEO of Exordia Entertainment so preparations of its launching are underway now, and if he can get a green light from you, he would like to use the name and meaning of HYBE as a potential rebranding of the corporation."

Jia agreed strongly, and promised to keep it a secret.

"The rebranding of the company is just a thought for now, but with the way that Bang PDnim is talking about it, I bet it will happen, it just will take some time, probably a few years, but I can see Exordia Ent launching in a few days, but nothing will really happen until you have an office so Bang PDnim will have you look for a location and a building later on when you have free time," Wooseok said.

Jia and her manager talked for a bit more before they ended the call. By then, Sunghoon was back with two plates.

"This is for you noona," the cute penguin handed over her plate, "I got a little bit of everything."

"Thank you so much Sunghoon! This is really sweet of you, you didn't have to do it but I really appreciate it!" Jia giggled when she saw the huge smile on Sunghoons face and couldn't help but gently poke his cute dimples.

"Why are you so cute," she laughed.








A/N - Sorry for the short chapter, don't worry though, I am working on more to publish!

Do you guys want to see some spicy drama between Jia's love interests? Or is there anything specific that you would like to see more off?

Also, I did start a new story based on the Netflix show, All Of Us Are Dead. This is not for all audience, if you are underage then I wouldn't read it since it will contain more darker topics.
