The next morning, the girls tiptoed into Mi-Young's room, eager to wake her up. But to their surprise, they found her already up, intently tying the laces of her sleek, high-heeled boots, the polished leather gleaming in the soft morning light.

Excitement bubbled among them as they decided today was a day to dress up, to sparkle a little more than usual.

Each girl darted from Mi-Young's room, their hearts racing at the thought of transforming into their most fashionable selves.

After a vibrant 45 minutes of laughter and chatter, they descended to the living room, a whirlwind of color and energy.

As they gathered around the breakfast table, the aromas of freshly made dishes enveloped them. They savored their meals, the clinking of utensils against plates mingling with their joyful conversation.

Just as settled into the car seats, Chae-won's phone buzzed relentlessly in her pocket.

She swiftly picked it up and placed it on speaker, her anticipation hanging in the air.

“Good morning, Manager Mina,” Chae-won greeted brightly.

“Morning, girls! Where are you?” Manager Mina’s voice crackled through the speaker, brimming with energy.

“We’re just a few minutes away from the company,” Han-na replied, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

“Oh good! Make sure you arrive before BTS gets here!” Manager Mina encouraged.

“Yes, we know, Manager Mina. We'll be there soon,” Mi-Young assured with a grin.

“Okay, girls. Hurry up, but drive safely. Bye!” Manager Mina concluded.

“Bye, Manager Mina!” Aera echoed, before they ended the call.

True to their word, just moments later, they arrived at the company, parking in the spacious garage with hearts racing.

Once inside, they spotted Manager Mina, waiting for them by the back door, her expression a mix of eagerness and authority.

Following her lead, they entered the meeting room, hearts pounding in anticipation.

As they settled into their seats, the doors swung open dramatically, revealing the charismatic presence of BTS.

Their eyes widened in awe, and whispers of admiration flowed between them as they exchanged excited glances, speaking in their secret language about how effortlessly cool the boys looked.

At the end of the meeting, four members of BTS began choosing partners to work with.

Suga confidently chose Aera, RM selected Han-na, Jimin picked Mi-Young, and V’s eyes landed on Chae-won.

The remaining members had the chance to pick, creating pairs filled with energy and anticipation.

Jungkook joined Suga and Aera, J-Hope teamed up with RM and Han-na, while Jin paired with V and Chae-won.

That left Jimin with Mi-Young, forming a unique duo.

As the managers stepped out, leaving OSP and BTS behind, silence settled in the room before the curious chatter began.

“So what do you think our managers are planning?” RM pondered aloud, lost in thought.

“I have no idea,” Aera replied, tapping her finger against her chin.

“What could it be?” Han-na mused.

“Honestly, I think they’re planning a TV show or something exciting,” Jungkook chimed in with a confident nod.

“You're probably right,” Chae-won agreed, her eyes lighting up with speculation.

V leaned toward Jimin, a mischievous glint in his eyes. “Should I ask her?” he whispered.

Jimin shrugged, unsure. V facepalmed, then turned back to the conversation.

“So, how was your tour? We heard it was quite wild.”

“Yeah, it was,” Han-na said, her voice animated.

“The fans were literally going crazy! We had to pull all of our bodyguards to keep them from storming the stage.”

“And the arenas were packed with Stars (name of OSP's fandom) at every concert and fan signing,” Aera added, excitement still lingering in her voice.

J-Hope's eyes widened. “We saw your last concert, and it was incredible!”

“Especially at the end when you gifted four thousand nine hundred eighteen signed albums to those lucky fans,” Jin beamed, nostalgia in his expression.

Chae-won nodded enthusiastically. “It was so much fun to personally hand a few fans their new album! And the way Mi-Young ended it with her last song was just epic!”

With a sunshiny smile, J-Hope nodded in agreement. “It was truly amazing.”

“And the dancing—wow!” RM added, his enthusiasm infectious.

“I was really impressed by the rapping,” Suga interjected.

“If I'm not mistaken, during the production, you tweaked with the speed of the rapping and added more rhythm, which gave the song that extra edge to make it go viral.”

Mi-Young turned to him, a puzzled look crossing her face. “How did you know that? Not many people catch that little adjustment.”

Suga shrugged casually. “I produce my own songs and BTS songs too. I use that technique in some of my raps, so it was easy for me to notice how you added your own spin to it.”

Mi-Young smiled at him.
