KJ entered the studio, only to see the others were already there. Dasom and Jinhyun were practicing their instruments. Ash was engrossed in some paperwork.
He looked around, but there was no sign of Mirae. It was almost 9 am and she still was not at the studio. There were a million questions he wanted to ask her. Moreover, if his hunch was right and she really was the CEO of Abyss, her strange behavior was more of a mystery. Why was she so hostile towards him?
His eyes wandered to Ash, who was busy writing lyrics. Ash's behavior did not seem out of the ordinary, but a nagging feeling lingered in KJ's mind. He felt Ash was somehow more...relaxed. There was no other word to describe his recent behavior. Dasom and Jinhyun did not notice the change in Ash but KJ was observant of it.
He strode over towards him.
"Your car is still at my place," KJ commented.
"Hmm," Ash responded absentmindedly.
"When are you planning to take it out?"
"Tonight probably," the latter answered.
