      Rosé was nervous to say the least. It is the first time she is going to meet the cast and despite all the positive comments from Jon she didn't feel reassured whatsoever. Though she's able to socialize with strangers that doesn't mean she's not dying of fear on the inside. Rosé hates meeting new people, one of the reasons why she makes sure to make a lot of friends so later on she won't have to make any more.

      "Unnie you look like you're about to throw up," Sora joked as she began brushing her dark hair. Rosé has grown accustomed to Sora's presence with the two living in Sora's apartment back in Seoul. For example she knows that before they leave Sora would always brush her hair exactly 13 times and that she always has to check to make sure her bladder is empty three minutes before they leave. But living with Sora has its perks, like the fact that Rosé is brushing up on her Korean and that she can never forget her keys with Sora constantly reminding her.

      "Do I have to go?" Rosé mumbled under her breath as she tied her shoelaces. She smoothed out her skirt as she watched Sora check to make sure she didn't have any lipstick stains on her teeth. The screenwriter groaned as she fell back onto the bed. Her dark hair sprawled around her head like a paint brush. "I mean I'm not the director, I just write and adjust the script. I'm not going to be here all the time anyways, you and I will have to fly back and forth to Seoul anyways."

      Sora rolled her eyes as she turned around and stood in front of Rosé with her hands on her hips. The younger actress frowned as she kicked at Rosé's shoe. "Hey! You're important for this movie! You bring our characters to life," Sora argued as she pulled Rosé up. She cupped her roommate's face and squished her cheeks together before she lowered her face. "Cha Chaewon, you're going to this dinner and you are going to make friends."

      "Your boyfriend will be very jealous if he sees this."

      "It's okay, he knows that he has to share me with you."

      Rosé and Sora raced after Sora's manager who flung the door to his hotel room open. With his phone in between his shoulder and ear the young Korean male was quick to pack whatever he had unpacked back into his suitcase and duffle bags. Shouts were said into the phone as the two girls helped him pack his toiletries and his clothes.

      Kim Byungjoon was Sora's manager, a loyal friend to both girls. He was someone who saw Sora as a little sister, someone he felt the need to protect. Byungjoon formerly had a contract under Venus Entertainment, but after the incident with Sora and her family, he had left the company and followed Sora to LACUNA. Sora has always been more than grateful to her manager and knew that he was going to be a lifelong friend.

      "Alright, I got it. Thank you. I'll see you soon," Byungjoon said into the line before he hung up. He ran his hand through his hair before he chucked his phone against the room, Sora jumping as the cellular device hit the wall before falling onto the bed. Rosé hesitantly walked up to the man before she placed her hand on his back. "Thank you, Chaewon, but you don't need to."

      "It's the least that I can do, otherwise I'd be useless," Rosé argued as she rubbed circles on the man's back. The screenwriter tugged on her lower lip as she and Sora held a conversation with the eyes. After constant glares and dagger like stares Rosé sighed as she asked the dreaded question. "Is your mom going to be okay?"

      Byungjoon shook his head as he huffed out a breath of irritation. His dark brown eyes were bloodshot from the crying and panicking he had done in the taxi cab. It was when they got to the hotel and he received a call from his younger sister that he was okay. "She's going to stay overnight in the hospital. I just got a confirmation email for my flight," Byungjoon muttered with a hoarse voice. His throat was raw from shouting and crying, but it was understandable. Pain cannot be taken away from you.

      The young manager swallowed the lump in his throat before he turned and faced Sora who stared at him worriedly. He shook his head, "I'm sorry, Sora. But I have to go back to Busan and watch over her. My family needs me — "

      Sora stuck up her hand to stop him from his apology. She shook her head before she settled her free hand on her hip. "No, no mister. Don't you dare apologize for something like this," she said firmly, her eyebrows furrowed with determination. "I can take care of myself, and I have my boyfriend and Chaewon. I'll be fine. I'm sure I can handle all the manager stuff myself — "

      "No need," Byungjoon interrupted. "I talked to the boss and since everyone is busy with helping Mint and Max there's not anyone he could send out as my temporary stand in."

      Rosé took a step forward until she was in between Sora and Byungjoon. She stared at her friend with wide eyes and a worried expression across her face. Her heart raced against her chest, her hands suddenly clammy, and her stomach churning with fear. "Wait what? Say that again. What does this mean?"

      "It means the CEO himself will have to take my place for now: Noah's heading down to Atlanta as we speak."

      Noah Cha was coming down to the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming.

A/N;

Dun, dun, dun! It's sort of climatic with the fact that Rosé clearly isn't okay with the idea of her brother coming down. And some of the drama between Harrison and Sora and Noah will be revealed soon!

Also! I'm planning another Tom Holland fanfic? Wow shocker! But it's the one I told you guys about, the one that deals with conservative ( racist ) parents and shit. Hopefully that'll be out soon!

Dedicated to kaishaku! Thank you for the support lovely!

Much Love Guys.
