While your company is now preparing for your debut without your knowledge, You just continued doing your duties in school and as a trainee.
Though you gotta admit, juggling your time in academics, the club works, and being a trainee is starting to take a toll on you.
Luckily, some of your classmates have been very helpful to you, some of them even take notes from teachers to give you, you're thankful that even though you're generally close to them, they still help you and you really appreciate it.
The same goes for the theater club, they don't give you much work but they made themselves clear that you can't quit the club and you assured them you won't quit.
And being a trainee yourself you ended up always relying on Jiheon for tips on how to survive the strict training you're doing.
You mean, Minju can give you some tips too but you don't want to bother her while she's preparing for her debut so you ended up asking Jiheon time and time again and Jiheon is always there to help you.
You're thankful that you have a very good friend/little sister in Jiheon.

Currently, You're now doing some acting stuff with the guidance of some trainers when Jonathan came and called you since the CEO wants to talk to you.
You and Jonathan talked about some random stuff until you guys made it in front of the CEO's office. Before entering Jonathan's mood went 180 and he became very serious.
He told you that you should recommend him to be your manager which you agreed without thinking. This is the only guy who you think you will be comfortable working with on a daily basis so it was really a no-brainer.
Upon entering the office, you were greeted by the CEO and told you to make yourself comfortable.
The CEO then asked Jonathan to stay outside and Jonathan did what he was told to do.
The CEO then introduced himself to you and asked you if you and Jonathan are getting along. You nod your head and told the CEO that Jonathan has been helpful to you in adjusting to this whole situation.
Hearing this, The CEO smiled at you and told you that he is happy that you are getting along with his son, making you surprised that all this time you have been talking casually to the CEO's son.
The CEO then asked you about the thought of debuting now which made you confused but you honestly told him that you think that you aren't ready to debut yet.
The CEO then tells you that the higher-ups from Big Hit are now in the process of literally speedrunning your debut.
You were shocked hearing this since you think that you aren't ready yet,
You mean, You literally just been a trainee for exactly one month and two days, you think that you need time to prepare.
The CEO then gave you an artist contract and told you that you should read the terms very carefully.
You asked the CEO if you can decline but he said that if you decline it, Big Hit will be very upset leaving you no choice but to check the contract.
You then remember what Jonathan told you earlier about you should recommend him to be a manager which you did.
The CEO reluctantly agreed to this but you also told him that you should also be able to date freely.
You knew that some companies prohibit their artist to date so you're now making sure that your relationship with Minju will be safe even if you sign this contract.
The CEO laughed at this but agrees and with that…
You finally signed your very first artist contract.
Yes, you still think that you're not ready yet but if they think you're ready then you should trust them…
After signing the contract, the CEO then told you that you can leave which you did. Leaving the office with optimism and excitement.
You can't wait to tell Minju and Jiheon about the good news so you made your way out of the company and went straight to home.
Meanwhile.
The CEO calls Jonathan and tells him that he is playing a very dangerous game which Jonathan just shrugged at.
The CEO also told him your decision to make Jonathan as your manager which Jonathan was happy at.
You making Jonathan as your manager is the first step of his big plans for you and the company.
"Y/n your future will determine if I can rise through the ranks or not."
