"Then he will learn from it and would know what not to do" Song Jae Ho said as a matter-of-fact.

"You are just being an idealist" Ji Seo Yun didn't like what her husband said.

"Seo Yun, Ji Hun is smart, I am sure he thought this through before announcing his decision to us. Let's trust our son"

"You people never understand me" Ji Seo Yun got upset and left the table.

Song Jae Ho was about to follow his wife when Song Ji Hun stopped his father and followed his mom to the lawn where she stepped out for some fresh air.

"Mom" He called her from behind.

Ji Seo Yun stopped in her footsteps but didn't turn around to face her son.

"I know you have a lot of expectations and dreams for me, I am sorry if I offended you but I don't wish to stay away from you all in a new country. I wish to stay here, mom" Song Ji Hun patiently explained himself.

Ji Seo Yun had tears when she heard he doesn't want to go away from them but she still didn't turn back.

"What if I suddenly miss your cooking and wish to have the seaweed soup you cook for my birthday every year? What if I suddenly wish to sleep on my mother's lap but you are not on my side?" Song Ji Hun asked her.

Ji Seo Yun couldn't help but chuckle hearing his last question and turned around.

"It has been more than ten years since you slept on my lap. Are you seriously going to use that as an excuse?" Ji Seo Yun wiped her tears away and smiled, "At least use some convincing examples to manipulate me"

Song Ji Hun too smiled as his mother saw through him.

"I can say anything to stay back. Now you see how desperate I am to not leave?" He asked her.

Ji Seo Yun nodded her head as she was indeed able to see through his desperation, "I hope you thought this through?"

"Thoroughly"

"Fine, if this is what you want" Ji Seo Yun couldn't argue anymore and just wished to give in to her son's demand.

"Thanks mom" Song Ji Hun lightly smiled as his biggest hurdle was cleared.

"Can I at least get a hug for giving in to your stubbornness so easily?"

Song Ji Hun hesitated for a second but the next moment he gently hugged his mom as that was the least he could do for her.

Ji Seo Yun felt happy and decided to be a supportive mother to her son as he rarely demands anything like this.

The Songs were happy with Song Ji Hun's decision to stay back in Korea and announced the good news to their friends.

Kims too informed everyone that Ian too decided to stay back and coincidentally he too decided to join Seoul National University but instead of business management he is pursuing a degree in medicine.

Monday

Song Ji Hwan was feeling nervous as it was his day one to the new internship he is starting.

KH Entertainment Company was one of the dream companies Song Ji Hwan wished to work in.

He was currently sitting in the back seat of the car, nervously looking outside the window, at the beautiful city, Seoul.

He informed the driver to drop him at a cafe which was a two minutes walk from the KH Entertainment Company.

"Mr Song, we reached" The driver's voice pulled Hwan from his thoughts.

"Oh okay" Song Ji Hwan was about to open the door, the driver stopped him.

"If you want, young master, I can drop you to your actual destination. I won't share with anyone at your home, where I dropped you."

The driver knew this was not the destination and Hwan would be walking from here.

"No need driver uncle, even if you don't wish to tell anyone, my mother will find a way to get the information out of you. So, let it be. I can manage from here" Hwan declared and stepped down the car.

Then he turned to the driver and asked him to leave first. After ensuring the driver left and now there was no way he could follow him, Hwan headed towards KH Entertainment Company and reached in not more than two minutes.

Taking a long deep breath, he entered the premises.

..

When the driver reached the Song Mansion, Ji Seo Yun immediately checked with him to know where Hwan is interning but the driver narrated what happened.

'Ah, why is he so adamant on hiding the truth? Should I try some other way to find out where he is interning?'

Ji Seo Yun wondered to herself and disappointedly went to her workplace.

..

Feeling nervous, Song Ji Hwan entered the big premises and showed his internship letter at the reception.

He was familiar with this building as he visited KH Entertainment Company multiple times but every time he only appeared as a friend of Kim's.

This was the first time he was here as a part of this organization.

"Congratulations on securing this internship. Here is your staff ID card and other important things that you would need"

The cheerful receptionist handed him a brief folder with some stuff in it.

Song Ji Hwan couldn't see what's inside it but it was heavy enough to understand that this is some important stuff.

"This ID card needs to be carried with you everyday as you will swipe it before entering the insides. This ID swiping will note your time of arrival and departure. Without this ID you won't get any entry. Please note that, it is very important."

The receptionist explained and Song Ji Hwan seriously nodded making a mental note to always carry this ID on him.

"Thank you" Song Ji Hwan respectfully bowed to her.

"Now head to the fifth floor, third conference room. That's where meeting with the interns will start. All the best"

The receptionist cheered for him which made Song Ji Hwan's nervousness to calm down.

He again bowed to her and headed in the direction she pointed.

After reaching the third conference room on the fifth floor, Song Ji Hwan took a deep breath before knocking on the door.

"Come in" A female voice was heard from inside the room.

The voice sounded stern and magnificent.

Song Ji Hwan felt a bit nervous but nevertheless he opened the door and entered the conference room.

He saw two girls and three boys already seated around the long table.

"You are?" The lady, who earlier gave him the permission to enter the room, asked.

"Spyro" Song Ji Hwan mentioned his secret name through which he applied.

The lady checked the list she had in her hand and nodded her head, "Take a seat" she instructed and Hwan did so.

After a while when it was the actual time of reporting, the lady locked the door and made a phone call to the reception.

"The reporting time is over, the rest of the interns who will appear from here on, tell them their internship has been cancelled and we don't need them anymore"

Song Ji Hwan and six others present there were taken aback hearing what this lady just said.

10 interns were supposed to be chosen for this program and right now only 7 of them were here which meant she fired three interns.

No one present there had the audacity to question this lady as she was one intimidating woman.

After speaking on the phone, the lady turned to the seven interns present there.

"I value time the most, it is one thing that never comes back once gone. Every second is precious in this entertainment world. Although, money looks like the biggest asset of this industry, even that money is controlled by time. Lots of deals are made and broken within seconds. So, if ever I come across someone, who doesn't value time, the person will meet the same end as those three others. Am I clear?"

The seven people immediately nodded their heads in affirmation.

"Good" The lady then walked to the center of the room and introduced herself.

"I am Jessica Oh, you can call me Jess or Jessica. I am the main head of all the managers, who manage our artists. I am familiar with every artist and without my knowledge no contract can be signed. I am in-charge of looking after our managers and guide them. Don't expect me to spoon-feed you all, that's not happening. If you are capable and get lost sometimes, I show the direction. If you get lost all the time, I show the exit. Am I clear?"

The seven interns excitedly nodded their heads as they didn't expect someone from such a high position would be mentoring them.

"Now introduce yourselves" The woman declared and sat on the biggest chair in the center of the table and looked at the seven interns, who were clearly nervous and intimidated by her.
