Chapter 2: The unexpected Accouncement
A week had passed since rumors of a major collaboration started circulating within the industry, and neither Eclipse nor Stratos had been given any official confirmation. However, the tension in the air was undeniable.
Eclipse Entertainment – Group Meeting Room
The members of Eclipse sat around the long conference table, exhaustion evident on their faces. They had spent the last few nights in back-to-back rehearsals, yet here they were, called into an urgent meeting with their management.
Hoseok (Hobi), their leader, tapped his fingers impatiently against the table.
J-hope
Any idea what this is about?
he asked, glancing at the others.
Suga sighed, stretching his arms over his head.
Min Yoongi
If it’s another last-minute schedule change, I might actually quit this time.
Park Jimin
Jimin smirked. "You say that every time, hyung."
Taehyung was staring at his phone, scrolling through fan forums.
Kim Taehyung
People think we’re collaborating with Stratos. Crazy, right?
Just then, the door swung open, and their manager walked in with a clipboard in hand.
Manager(Eclipse)
Good, you’re all here. We have something big to discuss.
Hoseok exchanged looks with Taehyung and Jimin before turning his full attention to their manager.
Manager(Eclipse)
Eclipse, you’ll be working on a collaboration project
Manager(Eclipse)
And yes, it’s with Stratos.
The room fell silent for a moment.
Yoongi let out a low whistle.
Park Jimin
What kind of collaboration? A stage performance? A single?
Their manager smiled, adjusting his glasses.
Manager(Eclipse)
Not just a single. An entire album. A full promotional cycle.
Their manager shook his head.
Manager(Eclipse)
This is going to be the biggest cross-company project in years. It’s already set in motion, and you’re all expected to be on board.
Taehyung finally looked up from his phone.
Kim Taehyung
And what if we refuse?
Manager(Eclipse)
That’s not really an option, Taehyung.
Stratos Entertainment – Practice Room
Meanwhile, Stratos had received the same shocking news.
Jungkook stood near the mirror, arms crossed as he listened to the announcement. His jaw tightened slightly, but he didn’t say anything.
Namjoon, their leader, adjusted his cap.
Kim Namjoon
An entire album? That’s not just a collaboration—that’s practically merging the two groups.
Jin leaned back against the wall, rubbing his temples.
Kim Seokjin
I mean, I get why they’d do this. We’re the two biggest groups right now. But the fan reactions…
Jackson exhaled dramatically.
Jackson Wang
We’ll either make history or start a war.
Jungkook’s gaze darkened. Of all the groups, why Eclipse? Why Taehyung?
Namjoon seemed to notice his unease and placed a hand on his shoulder.
Kim Namjoon
We’ve worked with tons of artists before. This is just another project
Jungkook nodded absentmindedly, but deep down, he knew it wasn’t just another project.
Industry Buzz – The Internet Erupts
The moment the collaboration was confirmed, the news broke across every major social media platform. Fans flooded Twitter, TikTok, and forums with mixed reactions.
#EclipseXStratos trended worldwide.
Fan 1
Are we actually getting Eclipse and Stratos in one album?? Insane!!
Fan 2
Wait, does this mean more Taehyung and Jungkook interactions?? 👀
Hyunwoo
I love both groups, but this is too much. Fanwars incoming
Fan 3
THE KINGS OF K-POP UNITE!!
Fan 2
Jungkook and Taehyung in the same project? My heart can’t handle this.
Fan 5
This is either going to be the best thing that ever happened or the biggest disaster in K-pop history. No in-between.
The world was watching, waiting to see if this collaboration would make history—or become a disaster.
And neither Eclipse nor Stratos were prepared for the emotional storm that was about to hit them all.
