Two weeks passed, and Stray Kids was called into JYP Entertainment by their CEO.
They didn't know what to expect, but thought it couldn't be anything bad at least.
Chan: If this is about me throwing Han into the pool back at the AirBnB, he called me a vegemite velociraptor. I had to do something.
JYP himself, sitting in front of them, chose to ignore that and say what he brought them for.
JYP: Boys, I know you're wondering why you're here. Well ever since this case began, I knew I had to do something to remedy it. So, I have been looking for a new manager for you all.
Felix: A new manager? So soon?
JYP: Yes. Also, why is a member of Seventeen here?
Everyone looks at Mingyu, and he waves at them.
Felix: He's my boyfriend.
JYP: I'm not shocked.
Felix: Hey-
JYP: Anyways! I felt bad for everything that has happened. As a CEO, it is my job to make sure you all have a good support team. So, I have made sure to hire the best of the best.
Seungmin: So, who did you hire?
JYP: No one.
They all look at each other.
Jeongin: I don't get it.
JYP: Well let me explain. You see, Stray Kids has been a group that works very well doing their own thing. You are self-produced and make everything you create otherwise, yourselves. So, recognizing this and my own shortcomings, I've made a decision.
He stands up, facing his window and looking outside.
The members automatically hold hands in anticipation, including Mingyu.
JYP turns back around and smiles.
JYP: Stray Kids will get their own outer branch of my company. You all can operate it on your own if you choose, or hire people to help you. The only thing you do is report back to me on occasion.
Chan: We...we're getting our own...company branch?
JYP nods.
JYP: Congratulations.
They all erupt in cheer, including Mingyu, who lifts Felix into the air and hugs him.
Chan and Changbin hugged each other as well, feeling a sense of freedom wash over them.
They could only imagine what it would be like running an entire company branch on their own. Now, they would get to experience it.
--------------------------------------
Minho was the first person inside of the new branch building.
Why, you ask? Well, the building was un-decorated and he decided to take control over doing so.
Most of the reason was because he didn't trust Chan to decorate in any color other than black.
Minho: Okay, Hyunjin, you can hang up the posters.
Hyunjin: Posters? Why do we need posters?
Jeongin: he wants to hang up posters so he can have an excuse to bring the giant Jisung poster he has on the ceiling of his bedroom.
Minho: ...both of you are on my list.
He hands them the posters to hang up around the building.
Jisung: What am I going to do?
Minho: We have the hardest task.
Jisung: Which is?
Minho: Going into the storage room and carrying four large glass panels back to make the practice room mirror.
Jisung: Why would we do that?
Minho: Just come on.
The two start walking to the storage room. Inside, many items belonging to the group had already been transferred over and were just waiting to be placed.
Minho spotted the glass panels and went over to them.
Minho: Come on Ji, help me pick these up.
They lift the panels and start carrying them out of the room.
As they enter the hallway, Jisung bumps into Hyunjin, causing them both to fall and a glass panel to fly from Jisung and Minho's hold, shattering on the ground next to them.
Minho stares at the pair. Jisung and Hyunjin stare back.
Jisung: We need to hire help.
Minho: Okay we need to hire help.
Hyunjin: We also need a broom and safety glasses. There's like twenty pounds of glass on the floor.
Jeongin enters the hallway, bringing in Felix and Seungmin who wanted to check on progress.
Felix: Uh...why is there so much glass on the floor?
Jisung and Hyunjin stand up.
Hyunjin: Long story short, we need to hire an interior decorator.
Seungmin: There's glass in your hair.
Hyunjin: Ignore that.
-----------------------------------
Some time had passed.
Chan couldn't tell if it had been weeks or months at this point.
Getting their own company branch up and running was very difficult for them, but they did what they had to do to make it happen.
Now it was their first official day working out of the building.
Changbin: Hey I found out I knew how to make coffee cake. Want some?
Chan: Sure.
They sat next to each other.
Chan: Where is everyone else? Are they in any clear and present danger as they have been for the past two consecutive months?
Changbin laughs, handing Chan the cake he made.
Changbin: Most of them are outside watching that delivery truck at the animal shelter next door. He brought an entire truckload of Chihuahuas.
Chan: Cute.
Changbin: Me?
He puts his hands on his cheeks, smiling.
Chan: You too. But I was talking about them.
Changbin: Oh. Well, what are you working on?
Chan: Writing a new single.
Changbin reads the lyric papers, nodding as he does.
Changbin: Hmm, it seems very...romantic. And sad. You in love?
Chan: Yes. I am.
Changbin gasps. He quickly locks the door to the room, and grabs the blanket from over the couch, sitting back down and covering himself to prepare for the story.
Changbin: Tell me all of it.
Chan: Okay. We met a few years ago. They...they make me so happy. I look forward to seeing them every day. Their smile, their eyes...they're perfect.
Changbin smiles, looking around.
Changbin: You see them everyday? And you talk about them like this? Oh you are in love, sir.
Chan: I know.
Changbin: So who is it? Are they in a relationship and that's why you haven't pursued them?
Chan: No. *laughs*
Changbin: Okay then...so they are single. They have a nice smile. They have pretty eyes. You look forward to seeing them everyday which means you know you'll see them all the time. But the only people we see are the members.
Chan stares at him before standing up.
Chan: Gotta go check on the kids.
Changbin: Wait-
Chan starts leaving.
Changbin: But i'm the only single member...
Chan turns to him.
Chan: Took you long enough.
He leaves the room.
Changbin: But if i'm the only....WAIT A MINUTE!
