When Jinhyun entered his new apartment that night, he was giddy with excitement. The movers had placed most of the furniture he had ordered inside the house already while some of the boxes were piled up outside. But he was not interested in unpacking. His mind was on other things.
He first dialed Sekjong's number.
"Hello," the manager greeted groggily.
"Manager Shun," Jinhyun said. "I've got some news for you."
"Will you join a new agency?" he asked excitedly.
"No," Jinhyun replied. "I'll set up my own agency!"
There was a long silence on the other end. "That's insane!" Sejong claimed. "Why would you take that risk? New agencies flop a lot! You won't get investors nor trainees easily!"
"I still have a few pals who would be keen to invest," Jinhyun pointed out. "We'll start small and start preparing for my comeback before recruiting trainees."
