"Risky Risky Wiggy Wigi This is an Emergency"

CHAEYOUNG's POV

We are sitting by the very big and large round table. I have no idea that BigHit's meeting room is this big. We could fit EXO, SEVENTEEN, Super Junior, Monsta X, and NCT here.

"The news broke out. Who knew that CUBE will do this?" Jinyoung-nim said. "What are we going to do?" SungSoo-nim asked.

"Let's settle this, one by one. BTS, Blackpink, GFriend, and Red Velvet are here because they forcefully revealed their respective relationships without asking for permission," BangPD said. BTS members gulped then glanced at each other knowing that they're dead.

"Let's start with Nayeon and Seungcheol's let's confirm it. I am suggesting tell them the truth but deny that they've been dating since 2017," SungSoo said. "I agree, TWICE's dating ban isn't lifted at that time and it would make things harder for them because of Nayeon's stalker," BangPD said.

"I will take care of the crazy Saesang. I will release a statement saying and confirming their relationship but the year 2017 is their choice. Nayeon, Seungcheol, what do you want to do?" PD-nim asked.

"Let's tell them the truth, PD-nim."

Our eyes almost popped out. We never expected Nayeon Unnie to say those words. She's the one who is very cautious about the news. She doesn't want anything to reveal but it seems like she changed her mind about it.

"Are you sure?" Seungcheol Oppa asked her and she nodded. "It's my decision to date when my dating ban isn't lifted so I will face the consequences," she smiled.

"Very well, you've grown up into a fine lady. Seungcheol, you must take care of Nayeon. Got that?" PD-nim replied and typed something on his laptop.

"About Jeongyeon and Jimin. We will deny all the rumors and say that Jiyeon is just your cousin. Let's just pretend that she's not your daughter, as for Jimin. I am planning to make him release a statement regarding this," BangPD said.

"That's right. Jeonghan is not to be dragged into this. His media play is coming up soon, we don't want to have any problems," SungSoo-nim said. "What the freakin' hell are you talking about?" Jihyo Unnie harshly asked.

"Jeonghan is to have a media play relationship with Sowon," he answered. I looked at Jeongyeon Unnie who is silent at the corner.

"Jeongyeon Unnie, you agreed with this? You don't look surprised," I asked. She slowly nodded, "Yes, I did."

Jeonghan dropped his hands on the table making a loud sound. "You're telling me that you'll make Jeongyeon deny our daughter? Yes, agreed with this 'media play' thing because you said that in this way, the rumors will stop and it would prevent Jiyeon to reveal to the world," He said.

"But I am regretting my decision. You can make me pretend as if I love someone else, you can make me do whatever you ask me to. But don't you dare expect that I will let my own daughter get denied," he added then sharply looked at the two CEOs.

"Han, calm down," I heard Unnie said. "Yeon, you won't deny Jiyeon's existence, aren't you?" He asked with a shaky voice. He looks as if he would cry soon.

"Of course not," she answered. Jeongyeon Unnie looked at PD-nim, "PD-nims. I appreciate your concern, and I will make sure that Jimin wouldn't be dragged into this issue anymore. I will be the one to tell them the truth," she said. "Please don't refuse her."

"Jeongyeon, your career would be ruined. TWICE already achieved a lot, are you going to risk it all?"

She smiled, "PD-nim. I'm not a child anymore, I am aware of my decisions in life. I am willing to leave the group and stay out if you're thinking about success. I can't do that to my own daughter."

I started to sob. "Unnie, no," Momo said. "TWICE is nine, let's continue this, okay? Together," she added.

"Me too, if you'd ask me to leave then it's fine. But don't ever think that I will deny Jiyeon and Jeongyeon," Jeonghan said.

The three CEOs got silent. They glanced at each other then sighed, "fine. We will let you do that, but don't leave," BangPD said. The two nodded.

"Third issue. Sana, Japan is disowning you. Even the president doesn't like the sound of you and Junhui. Minatozaki Family's surname is very treasured in Japan and they don't want them to run out," PD-nim said.

"I will be the one to adjust. Once we got married, I would give up my surname," Junhui Oppa said. I saw him holding Sana Unnie's hand tightly. They looked at each other then smiled, "their opinion doesn't count," she said.

SungSoo's jaw dropped, BangPD started to giggle and PD-nim is smiling widely. "I knew you would come up with a solution I won't expect," Jinyoung-nim said.

"As for Dokyeom and Jihyo... what would we do with that?" SungSoo asked. "We came up with a solution to that. We will tell the whole truth, besides, she is only leaning to see the ground. She's not jumping, Jihyo is not an idiot," PD-nim said.

Jihyo winked then he winked back. Uhm... weirdos. Dokyeom laughed then looked at Unnie who is smiling. He looks in love, it's irritating.

"Wonwoo and Mina had the funniest one. They thought that Wonwoo got into an accident because of her which is very idiotic. I planned to announce that the two are dating, Wonwoo accidentally hit his head because of him not following his members to rest. End of discussion," PD-nim said. Mina Unnie giggled, Wonwoo Oppa had his poker face on.

"You're bad mouthing me now, Mina," he said then pouted. "It's true. You didn't listen and you hit your head," she replied.

"Enough of that, you two. Aren't you aware that I'm single?" BangPD asked. "Me too," PD-nim answered back. They looked at each other then laughed.

Why do I secretly ship them?! They look so good together.

"If you all wanted to reveal your relationships and tell the truth, why don't we just set a schedule for a press conference including all the people involved and those who exposed themselves without any warnings," SiHyuk Pd said. BTS Oppas started to glance at each other.

The others just laughed. While they're laughing, there's a question popping out from my head.

Why is this meeting jumped from a serious one to a ridiculous one?

My eyes traveled around the area. Yes, this is fun. Instead of worrying about what the negative thinkers will think, it's better to be positive in times of negativity.

We are not always happy because as humans, we cry and face dark times, too. But it's our choice to smile despite the things that are happening. I'm grateful that Unnies and Tzuyu exist and are by my side. I could never ask for more.
