★ CEO's Office

@Ji Changminᵀʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ Tiffany waited patiently for what they are about to say. Upon hearing Changmin's voice, she turns her head to him and listens to what he said. Once the news registers her mind, her eyes widen. "What?! So, the rumors are true then. I thought i clearly said that trainee and idol cannot date each other." Look at both of them with stern eyes. "Moreover, how long are you planning to keep quiet about this? The rumors of you dating has spread long time ago and you only tell me now. How long have you two been dating?Like 2 months or was it more than that?" Tiffany bombarded them with questions after questions. To say that she is not disappointed would be a liar. She is pretty much disappointed in both of them but more disappointed in herself for failing to do something after she heard the rumors.

@Wang Yirenᴮˡᵒᵒᵐ(SH) @Ji Changminᵀʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ Tiffany sighed and stands up as she goes to her sofa and offer them to sits down. "Sit down. I would rather have this news while we are all relax." Smiles a bit as she sits down and look at the both of them. "So, what is it that you want to tell me?"

@Tiffany Youngᶜᵉᵒ @Ji Changminᵀʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ Yiren rolled her eyes, smiling. She stuck out her tongue at him. She hummed, looking up at him. "I can be calm... Sometimes." She said, smiling. "Mmm... Dancing is good for stress relief." She said. She smiled and kissed him back. She was holding onto his hand a bit tighter now. She nodded in agreement. Watching Changmin as they walked into the office. "Umm... Yeah... But... You did want to be the first to know..." Yiren said, looking at their CEO, smiling a little bit.

@Wang Yirenᴮˡᵒᵒᵐ(SH) @Ji Changminᵀʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ As she waited, two person comes in after she allowed them. Tiffany frowns as she sees the two of them more so when she sees them holding hand. Raising one of her eyebrow she looks at the both of them while leaning against her chair. "What a surprise to see you two again after a while i could say. What is this sudden visit?" She glances at the both of them already knowing what they are going to say.

@Tiffany Youngᶜᵉᵒ @Ji Changminᵀʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ Yiren laughed at Changmin's reaction. "And you covered my mouth. Lesson learned~." She said, giggling. She looked over at Changmin, watching him wipe it off onto her hoodie sleeve. "It's very cute, Changmin." She gave a small shrug. "I usually am too... But sometimes... You gotta let it out... And that's just what happened that night." She looked at him. "How do you relieve stress then?" She looked up at him, waiting for an answer. And while doing so... Was attacked with kisses. Which sent her into a small giggle fit. She nodded, smiling. "She's so sweet. I love her already." Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard the CEO's voice. She pushed the door open. Immediately bowing as she walked in, holding tightly onto Changmin's hand. "Hello~." She said, smiling.

@Wang Yirenᴮˡᵒᵒᵐ(SH) @Ji Changminᵀʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ Tiffany has just finish talking on the phone for the next meeting regarding a new show for the company when she heard a knock on the door. Wondering who it is as she doesn't have any plan to meet anyone right now, she asks the person outside to come in. "Comes in!" She waited curiously for the other person to come in.

@Tiffany Youngᶜᵉᵒ @Ji Changminᵀʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ (Here we go... I'm posting here in the office~)
She let out a soft laugh. "Cheesy~." She said, smiling. She leaned against him, humming softly. She hummed softly, looking around the hallway. She looked up at him as he covered . She started laughing into his hand, sticking her tongue out to poke it. "I think it's cute~." She said, smiling. She laughed a little. "We are a bit rough... But whatever gets us through stress and stuff. You know?" She kissed his cheek. "I know. I appreciate that, Changmin~." She hummed for a moment. "I told Jennie... She said she wouldn't say anything... I trust her..." She watched Changmin knock on the door.

@Wang Yirenᵀʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ @Ji Changmin [ alright, we're good for now. haha ]

@Tiffany Youngᶜᵉᵒ [ guess time will only tell lol ]

@Tiffany Youngᶜᵉᵒ (We should be fine now, lol)

@Wang Yirenᵀʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ @Ji Changmin I nods to the both of you and watch as you two leave my office with a face full of frustration. I regret having to punish you two but i don't want to be seen as a ceo who just follow what they wants. I need to be strict in this matter. I sighed yet again as i lean on the chair.

[] we're done here? or do we need more drama?lol

@Ji Changmin Walks quickly down the hallway, skidding to a sudden stop. "Crap. I left my jacket in the practice room!" I said, huffing. I ran back towards the practice room, running into you. "My bad..." I said softly. Walking into the practice room.

@Wang Yirenᵀʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ @Tiffany Youngᶜᵉᵒ I sigh as I zip up my jacket, nodding at ceo young's words. "Course..well, good bye.." I excuse myself, slipping out from the office as I let my mind travel. I'll be busy this week anyway..debuting and practicing..he wouldn't have much of a break anyway. He huffed as he walked away from the office, pulling out his phone as he disappeared from the hall.

@Tiffany Youngᶜᵉᵒ @Ji Changmin How could Changmin and I be upset? It's our faults for not being more careful. And it's only a week. A week for movies and sleeping after practice. I nod, walking out of the office. Looking at my phone as it buzzes. "Ah... I know guys. I'm on my way." I said softly.

@Wang Yirenᵀʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ @Ji Changmin I smile as i listen to both of your answers to my punishment. "Great! I'm glad that both of you are okay with this. I really don't want to do this but i had to. Know that i care to all of you here." Smiles warmly toward the both of you. "Ah, we're done here. I've nothing else to say." I nod as Yiren stand up. "Okay, Yiren. Changmin, you can go too~" i said again smiling.

@Tiffany Youngᶜᵉᵒ @Ji Changmin I give a quiet nod as Changmin starts talking again. "I mean. We can say hi. Just don't go anywhere or anything major..." I said. "Umm... I'm actually running late. It's my night to cook dinner for the girls..." I stand up, bowing with a smile. "Of course. It's your company and you want what's best for your employees. How could we be upset about that?" I asked, smiling.

@Wang Yirenᵀʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ @Tiffany Youngᶜᵉᵒ I bite the inside of my cheek as I listen, the realization hitting me. I was debuting in less than a week..I needed to stop being so careless if I wanted to make it in the music industry. "Yes, of course..I'll only go to my required places- no where else." I could last a week..right? A week seemed as if it could go by fast.."Right. No interaction between me and Yiren for a week." I smile warmly at ceo young. "We care for you too~ and we understand that you only want us to stay safe.."

@Tiffany Youngᶜᵉᵒ @Ji Changmin I listen quietly as the punishment is further explained. I don't really have places to be outside of the company and the dorm. I really only goes to the mall. With Irene, Taeyeon, or Tzuyu. A week... Okay. That's not too bad. I can handle a week of being grounded. "Okay. No problem." I said, nodding. A smile rests on my features. "We know. We care about you too~."

@Wang Yirenᵀʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ @Ji Changmin I nod in relief as you both accept the punishment. I then look at Changmin then shifts to Yiren and sighs a bit. "For Changmin, since you will have your debut soon, you will just go to the place that you needed to go like at the music shows or any other place but after that you are not going anywhere else unless you're required too. I'll just grounded you two for a week." My eyes flicker to Yiren as she asks her question. "Not together. You cannot leave together. If you need to leave the dorm or the company, do it separately. We don't want to raise anymore suspicion." I smile a bit to loosen up the tense in the room. "Look, i care for all of you here so i don't want anything to hurt you all in any ways." Again i smile toward them.

@Tiffany Youngᶜᵉᵒ @Ji Changmin I just continue to sit quietly. Accepting the punishment. Being grounded isn't so bad. My eyes flicking to Changmin when he starts talking. "Yeah..." I said. I pause, thinking. "With each other or in general? In regards to leaving the dorm?"

@Wang Yirenᵀʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ @Tiffany Youngᶜᵉᵒ I bite my lip, lowering my head as I nod in agreement. "You're right...from now on, we will be as careful as we can." I think back to the pictures, letting my eyes wander around as I hum along with yiren's words. "Yeah..I would also think we were an item if I saw these pictures.." I widen my eyes, staring up at ceo young, my mouth dropping slightly. "Grounded? But- I...okay..I guess that's fair.." I nod again, placing a weak smile over my face. "Right, right..we want to keep fans, not lose them."

@Tiffany Youngᶜᵉᵒ @Ji Changmin I listen quietly to what's being said. She's right. We should be more careful. Changmin also would've had a good point if he wasn't about to debut in three days... "People have different perspectives... If I saw that... I'd think we were dating too..." I said quietly, still staring at the picture. "We can accept that... Right Changmin?"

@Wang Yirenᵀʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ @Ji Changmin My eyebrows raised a little at both of your answers. "You're both trainees so why would they care right, Changmin? Unfortunately, our company has been getting some attention now so of course there ought to be someone who would care. I don't know who is the photographer since that person send the picture as anonymous but, it won't hurt if we're being a little more careful." I sighed again at both of your explanation and look at you two. "Yes you're not dating yet. But, if an article really goes out, they would say that you two are dating. Pictures can meant differently to other's person view." I look at Changmin at his question. "I've been thinking of many possible solution. For now, you two are grounded. Both of you are not allowed to go out of the company other than the dorm. And, if you get caught again, i might have to postponed all of any possible debut. I know this sound harsh but i have to take measure precaution for your own goods and for the company as well. I don't want you two to lose fans and their trust before you're even started." I said with a heavy heart as i tell you two your punishment regarding the picture.

@Tiffany Youngᶜᵉᵒ @Ji Changmin My eyes widen when you ask that. "No! Of course not!" I said quickly. "And you did tell us to be careful... I'm sorry... I just... I combed the streets as we walked... Thought we were okay..." My eyes got to Changmin, my cheeks red. "We... No... We're not..." I hum, looking at Changmin still before looking at CEO Young. My head was spinning. I looked everywhere for photographers. "We'll be more careful... We'll take precautions..."

@Wang Yirenᵀʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ @Tiffany Youngᶜᵉᵒ I stare at the photos in concern, fear building up as I think of all the worst possibilities. "I mean, no it doesn't mean we can do whatever...but we honestly thought no one would care- like, we're only trainees! Why should they care..right..?" I rub my arm. "You're right..we're sorry that we were so reckless..we will be better with our actions.." I look up at ceo young, my brows raised slightly. "Ah, but um...we aren't even dating yet.." I look back to the floor, a frown coming onto my face. "What's going to happen to us? What if we do get caught..again?"

@Wang Yirenᵀʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ @Ji Changmin I'm still in my position with arm crossed while leaning over the chair as i watch at the both of your reactions regarding the pictures. My eyes flicker toward Yiren as i heard what she said. "Hmm..You don't see the photographers..So, does that mean you can do anything you want? I told you to be careful, didn't i, Yiren and Changmin?" i ask to the both of you as i look at you two. "You can date, fine. I understand how stressful it is as a trainee but as long as you don't get caught. But, this..i can't tolerate this." i continue.

@Tiffany Youngᶜᵉᵒ @Ji Changmin I sit when told to and stay silent. Not wanting to say something and make whatever this is worse than it is. An email? A cloud of confusion took over my mind when CEO Young said that. Getting slightly anxious when she pauses. What's the email? About us?! What have we done? Many questions went through my head. I looked at her laptop and see images of us walking together after eating pizza. "What? I didn't see any photographers..." I said, shocked. You could clearly see that we were holding hands on our way to change for our workout.

@Ji Changmin Stands quietly beside you, waiting to hear what happened and why we're here. My arms at my sides. Looking at CEO Young.
