"Wait, Neo. Ehem, my friend here wants to ask for your number. But I told him that if he have sothing that interests you, maybe you can discuss an endorsent with him."
"Oh? What is it?" I return to my spot and listen.
"My friend here is kind of in crisis with his company. He needs a major sponsor. He learned about my partnership with you and wants your info, but I didn’t give it. I told him that if you have sothing that interests you, I could help him. He wants to set up a blind date with you," JYP explains.
"A blind date? That sounds exciting! When?" I ask.
"Two days from now. What do you think?" the manager replies.
"Hmm, let think first... I can’t. I told So-Hee that I’ll pick her up when she finishes her taping in the mountains. The next day will be good if there are no scheduling conflicts."
"Sure. Can I have your info for more details later?" the manager asks.
"Here. Now we are done, right? Nothing else?" I confirm.
"All good, Neo. I’ll just inform you if sothing happens or in case of an ergency," JYP assures .
"Okay, bye then. See you all later."
"Let send you off, Neo. Do you have a car when you arrive here?" Jihyo also stands up.
"I’m coming too!" Momo and Sana say simultaneously.
Dahyun and the others want to join, but Jihyo’s voice rings out, "The car is only four-seated. Bye!"
"Damn! They beat us. Those three are so in love with Neo," Nayeon comnts.
"Let it be. Jihyo has been talking about Neo for the past few days," Tzuyu adds.
"Director, when will our photoshoot start?" Dahyun asks.
"After ITZY, it’s your turn. They just finished the dicine promotion video. In two days, you’ll all be busy for about two weeks, max. If nothing goes wrong, it will be a week at the earliest," JYP explains.
"Okay, director. We are going now. Take this ti to relax for a few days," Mina and the others say as they leave the room.
"I’ve already helped you. It’s now your problem to convince Kim Yoo-Jung. You still have three days anyway," JYP reminds the manager.
"Thank you. The company needs to secure a big investnt this ti," the manager responds.
The two talk for a while, while Neo is accompanied by Jihyo, Momo, and Sana.
"Where do you guys want to go? It’s a sha if I don’t treat you to sothing," Neo offers.
"Anything will be okay with us, Neo. You already gave us luxury jewelry," Momo replies.
"Can I ask you sothing? Can I buy a house in Korea? Since I have many girlfriends living here, I thought, why not buy one? Right?"
"Is that sothing you can decide on a whim? It’s not like you’re buying candy," Sana replies.
"I know that currently, you can buy property here in Korea even if you’re not a Korean citizen," Jihyo adds.
"I also want to drive a car. I’m tired of always asking hyung to drive . What do you think? Do you want to go house shopping with today? Or buy a car?"
"We don’t understand how rich people spend money. Since you want to buy a house, let’s go," Jihyo says.
"Do you know soone, Jihyo?" Momo asks.
"I think Sana knows soone, right Sana?" Jihyo replies.
"My friend is a real estate broker. Let contact him first," Sana says as she picks up her phone and dials soone.
"Hey Sana, tell your friends that we should et at the car dealership," I tell her.
She gestures with her finger to say okay. Not long after, the phone call connects.
"Hello, hello. Look who’s calling !
"Shut it. My friend wants to buy a house, so bring all the luxury you have and et at this location. Yes, that one—the car dealership. Okay, see you," she hung up her phone and looked at us. "Done, let’s go to the car dealership."
"You good, Sana. You can be my assistant," I told her, hooking my arm around her shoulder.
"And how much would you pay ?" she asked, glancing up at as we walked toward where Jihyo’s car was parked.
"My secretary salary is $1.5 million a year, approximately 2 billion won. Want to apply?"
"Shhhh, that’s too much for an assistant, don’t you think?" Jihyo interjected.
"You know I have a policy: everyone connected to will live comfortably. I have the ans to help them, so why not?" I replied.
"Your kindness overshadows your reputation as a playboy, Neo. I read on the internet that your family is building a charity," Momo said.
"Ah yes, most of my money will go there anyway. All the money I earn from any company I’m involved with is directed to charity. I’m not keeping anything from it. My family will run the charity because too much money can’t be left to just anyone. Gray will have a legacy that helps people."
"I love how you do things, Neo. When I was growing up, I always dread of helping people. But as ti passed, I forgot about it and just wanted to secure my own future. You’re in your early 20s, and you’re already doing what most people can’t," Jihyo said.
"I know the struggle. Right now, I have everything I want. I’m only greedy when it cos to won. I’m not a saint, but at least I’m helping without expecting anything in return. I can be cruel when it cos to my family."
"Being true and pursuing your desires is courageous. Most people hide their true selves because the society they live in isn’t accustod to that. The most important thing about your decision is that you’re not hurting anyone. I approve of you, Neo," Sana said.
"There are many secrets you don’t know about yet. Only my family knows them. Are you interested in knowing, Jihyo?" By this point, we had already gotten into the car and Jihyo was driving it, but the conversation continued.
"Are you asking to be part of your family? What’s puzzling about you, Neo, is that you only et the person once, but they are already into you. It’s the sa with us; even though we have only had this brief conversation, we’re already drawn to you." Jihyo
"Maybe it’s because of my bloodline? But don’t worry, I’m not forcing any of you. In your group, you three are the only ones who caught my attention anyway. So I’m kind of lucky we’re together, don’t you think?"
"That’s because we are interested in getting to know you more," Momo added.
"You can ask anything. I’m an open book when it cos to people I like."
"Let start with a common question. How rich are you, Neo?" Sana asked.
"Imasurable. That’s the only explanation I have."
"How old are you then? We know you’re in your early 20s, but 20 what?" Momo inquired.
"20. I can call you ’Uni.’ Uni, feed ," I joked.
"Stop it! You’re giving us goosebumps," Jihyo said, feeling a chill run down her spine.
"Ah? Aren’t you getting excited? Ask sothing else."
"We don’t have a fetish like that. This is mostly a question for people at the top. Did you kill anybody?" Sana asked.
"Hmm?" I contemplated whether I should answer.
"Why aren’t you answering? Did you kill soone, Neo?" this ti Momo pressed.
"I did kill."
Jihyo, who was driving the car, couldn’t help but pull over to the side. She and the others looked at , stunned.
"Sotis, to better the world, you need resolve. I killed when I was 18 and I still kill today. You can judge as a killer; I don’t mind. If you start viewing negatively, feel free. So people are against killing. I was too, once. But when you view the world as negatively as it is, you’ll see how cruel it can be.
