Chapter 30

Next morning, seven of them sat scattered across the living room, the silence thick and oppressive. Taehyung  tapped his foot nervously against the floor, while Jungkook  stared blankly at the bracelet on his hand. Jimin leaned forward, elbows on his knees, deep in thought. Yoongi sat in the corner, his expression unreadable, and Jin, Hoseok, and Namjoon exchanged uneasy glances.

Lee Zyne, their manager, stood near the door, clipboard in hand cheering good morning but at the same time, his sharp gaze swept across the group, assessing the mood. Clearing his throat, he broke the silence again, “Alright, listen up. Today’s a big day. We’re heading to meet the people who’ve decided to take a chance on you.”

“People?” Namjoon asked, his tone skeptical. “What kind of people are willing to take on a group with this much… baggage?Who are they who habe decided to give us chance when our own debut company gave up on us ”

Zyne’s lips twitched into a faint smile, and he flipped a page on his clipboard. “Not just people. The people. Euphonicensemble.”

For a moment, the room froze.

“Wait… what?” Jin’s voice broke the silence, his tone incredulous.

“Euphonicensemble?” Hoseok repeated, sitting up straighter, his eyes wide. “You mean the Euphonicensemble? The biggest musical company in Korea?”

Jungkook blinked, his mouth slightly agape. “You’re kidding, right? They took our contract?”

Zyne shook his head, his expression serious. “I don’t joke about things like this. Euphonicensemble saw something in you—something worth saving. They’re giving you a chance to rebuild yourselves under their guidance.”

Taehyung let out a low whistle, leaning back into the couch. “I thought our career was done for. And now we’re… working with them?”

Yoongi frowned, his fingers tapping lightly against the armrest of his chair. “It doesn’t add up. Why would they risk their reputation for us?”

“They’re not risking anything,” Zyne replied firmly. “They’re investing in potential. They believe you can bounce back, but that doesn’t mean they’re going to make it easy. You’ll have to prove yourselves—every single day.”

Namjoon exhaled slowly, running a hand through his hair. “This is… unexpected,” he admitted, his mind already racing with possibilities and doubts.

“Unexpected?” Jin scoffed, though there was a hint of nervous excitement in his voice. “This is insane! Euphonicensemble doesn’t just take anyone. They’re selective.”

“And yet, here we are,” Jimin said softly, his eyes distant. “It feels too good to be true.”

“Good or not, it’s happening,” Zyne interjected. “And you’re going to meet the team today. So, I suggest you pull yourselves together and start acting like the professionals I know you can be. As being your manager I  want them to think that i scared you.”

The car ride to Euphonicensemble’s headquarters was anything but calm.

“This doesn’t feel real,” Jungkook murmured, staring out the window.

“Believe it, kid,” Jin said, though his own hands were fidgeting nervously in his lap.

“I still don’t understand why they’d want us,” Yoongi muttered, his voice low. “What’s in it for them?”

“Redemption stories sell,” Namjoon said thoughtfully, though his expression remained troubled. “Maybe they think we’re worth the gamble.”

Taehyung leaned against the window, a faint smile tugging at his lips. “Gotta admit, the idea of working with Euphonicensemble is… kind of exciting.”

“Exciting and terrifying,” Hoseok added, glancing at Zyne. “Are you sure about this, hyung?”

Zyne smirked slightly, his eyes never leaving the road. “You’ll see when we get there.” But in mind,"You all are going to get your destiny right there. "

The moment the car pulled up to Euphonicensemble’s towering glass building, every one of them fell silent. The structure was breathtaking, a masterpiece of modern architecture that exuded power and prestige. The company’s name was etched in bold, sleek letters at the top, reflecting the sunlight like a beacon.

“Holy…” Jungkook trailed off, his eyes wide, not leaving the touch on bracelet for a second.

“This place is insane,” Taehyung whispered, craning his neck to take it all in.

“Now I get why they’re the biggest,” Jin said, his voice tinged with awe.

Yoongi remained quiet, his sharp gaze taking in every detail of the building. Namjoon, standing beside him, crossed his arms, his expression a mix of admiration and intimidation.

“This is where we’re starting over,” Jimin said softly, almost to himself. “It feels… surreal. Do I even deserve it”

“Be comfortable guys. Now you guys belongs to here.” Zyne said as he led them inside. “The hard part starts now.”he utters in mind with a sense of insecurity.

The moment they stepped into the headquarters, Taehyung froze mid-step, his eyes scanning the grand interiors. The soft, muted blues and whites of the walls, the carefully arranged artwork, the subtle scent of lavender in the air—it all hit him like a tidal wave. “This… this reminds me of her,” he whispered under his breath, his fingers brushing against the cool marble counter.

Jungkook’s steps faltered as well. His gaze was fixed on the minimalist aesthetics of the reception area, the way the furniture was arranged with precision yet warmth. “Saga used to like this kind of setup,” he murmured, almost to himself, and caressed the bracelet.

Jimin, meanwhile, lingered near the entrance, his eyes drawn to the soft, golden light streaming in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. It reminded him of the afternoons he and Helina had spent in quiet companionship, basking in similar sunlight. “It’s like they designed this place just for her,” he thought, his heart aching.

Namjoon noticed their sudden change in demeanor. “What’s wrong?Are you three ok?” he asked softly, though the slight furrow of his brow showed his concern.

“Nothing,” Taehyung said quickly, shaking his head. “It’s just… the place feels familiar, that’s all.”

Yoongi shot them a knowing look but didn’t press further. Jin also got a different gut feeling after seeing the place. He and Namjoon shared knowingly unknown glances but kept silent their thoughts.

At the reception desk there stood a young woman with a sharp, professional appearance. Her smile was polite but reserved as Zyne approached.

“Lara,” Zyne greeted her. “How are you?". "Nice fine and perfectly fit. And you Zyne? Well to go up to put new teams responsibility on your shoulders?" Lara with genuine smile and tone took the conversation."Yeah...So meet my new team." Zyne showed her everyone. Lara was very excited to see them. "Hello guys, Im Lara. Nice to meet you all" Zyne with a smile,"Do you have their assignments ready?” Lara nodded, glancing at her computer screen before handing over a folder. “Yes, Manager Lee Zyne. They’ve been assigned to Axel for choreography and Ryon for music. Both are waiting in Studio B.”

Zyne turned to the group with a satisfied nod. “Perfect. Let’s head up.”He looked at all and asked them to follow him.

In Studio B, Axel and Ryon stood waiting. Axel, tall and commanding, crossed his arms as the group entered. Ryon, in contrast, greeted them with a warm smile.

“These are the boys,” Zyne said, gesturing to the members. “Axel, you’ll be handling their choreography. Ryon, you’ll oversee their music training.”

Axel nodded curtly. “We’ve got a long way to go, but I’m up for the challenge.”

Ryon stepped forward, his smile never faltering. “It’s a pleasure to meet you all. Don’t worry, we’ll take it one step at a time.”

Before they could ask questions, Jin hesitantly spoke up. “What about the CEO? Are we meeting them today?”

Zyne hesitatntly shook his head. “Umm... Not today. The CEO’s schedule is packed, but if you ever need anything or want to discuss something directly, come to me, and I’ll arrange it.”

The slight disappointment was evident on their faces, especially Jungkook’s, Taehyung’s, Jimin’s and Namjoon’s face who had been eager to understand more about the people who believed in them.

Noticing their expressions, Zyne clapped his hands. “Cheer up. This is your chance to prove yourselves. Let’s make it count.”

And with that, their new journey began.
