Book 2 Epilogue: One in a Million

I heard something that sounded like water being poured, then my nose picked up something that smelled familiar. Was it hyeonmi-cha? But the aroma was mixed with something else, something that smelled like the scent of a peaceful morning in the countryside.

Slowly, I opened my eyes. My vision was still blurred, but from the light I saw filling the room, I knew it was daytime. I was in a room, the walls were painted clean white and the room was decorated with a collection of nice and modern wooden furniture. Where was I? I turned my head to the left, and I saw someone sitting in a chair by the bed, pouring steaming hot water into a teapot.

It was a woman, dressed in a pure white dress. Her long black hair glistened, and her pearly skin glowed. She looked just like an angel. Was I dreaming? Or was I dead? The angel turned to look at me, and she immediately realised that I was awake. She gasped and smiled sweetly.

"Oh! You're finally awake, Minsoo-ssi," she said.

How did she know my name? Did angels speak Korean anyway? Hang on. That voice sounded familiar. I blinked a few times and rubbed my eyes, clearing my vision, and I could see the person talking to me. It was not an angel.

"K–Kim... Jisoo... ssi?" I stuttered, feeling my throat as dry as a desert.

Jisoo smiled and poured tea from the teapot into a cup. She offered it to me.

"Drink this, Minsoo-ssi," she said calmly.

I took the cup and sipped it slowly. The tea was delicious, and it warmed my insides. I suddenly felt fresh and alive again. I looked around, realising that I was in a nice and neat looking bedroom, but I could see tree branches from the window, so I was not in a high-rise apartment. I looked at Jisoo.

"J–Jisoo-ssi... W–where am I?" I asked her.

Jisoo looked around the room and smiled.

"You're in my house, in Geumho-dong. Well, it's Yeoni's house too, to be honest," she said, giggling, before looking at me again. "He brought you here unconscious yesterday." "Y–Yesterday?" I asked her. She nodded. "Yes. You passed out yesterday at SM headquarters after the fight out of stress. Yeoni, Jihyo, Irene, and Jennie brought you here, and now, you're awake," she explained to me, like a teacher explaining to a student.

"I was... out... The whole day... After the fight?" I repeated her words.

Suddenly, memories flooded my mind like a broken dam. I remembered everything that happened yesterday. We went there to stop Momo and Mina, then suddenly Director Jung appeared, and Park Manse appeared, then the IPG appeared. There was a fight, and then... Chuyoung and Jeongyeon...

"W–What happened... With..." I stuttered. "Nam Chuyoung and Yoo Jeongyeon? Don't worry, they're still alive. They're in the hospital now."

I turned and saw Yeoni standing at the door, Jennie and Irene there with him. The three of them smiled wide as they saw me.

"How are you, Minsoo-ya? Are you okay?" Yeoni asked me.

I nodded. Yeoni smiled wider and sat on the bed next to me. I had so many questions in my head, but I didn't know where to start. All I wanted to do at the moment was to see Jeongyeon, Chuyoung, and... And Jihyo. As if reading my thoughts, Yeoni chuckled.

"I'll take you to the hospital later. The Twice girls are all there," he said. "But first, breakfast!" exclaimed Jisoo, standing up from the chair excitedly.

Yeoni, Jennie, and Irene chuckled seeing Jisoo. Jisoo walked towards the door, rubbing her belly gently. I noticed that her belly was bulging a little bit. Has she gained weight? She did look a little chubbier. Maybe being on a hiatus made her relaxed a little bit on her strict diet and exercise regime as an idol.

Jisoo went out of the room, followed by Irene and Jennie, talking happily. Yeoni stayed by my side for a moment, before standing up.

"Come on! You need to try Jisoo-noona's cooking. It's one of the best in the country," he said proudly.

I felt a chuckle leaving my mouth. I stood up from the bed and walked groggily towards the door. I exited the room, and immediately the aroma of Jisoo's cooking filled my senses. I felt my stomach rumbling, suddenly feeling famished.

I staggered to the dining room, where Yeoni, Irene, and Jennie were preparing the dining table. Jisoo brought a steaming hot pot filled with something soupy and spicy from the kitchen to the dining table, while Irene took out a few plates of kimchi from the fridge. Jennie was scooping rice from the rice cooker, and Yeoni playfully kissed his girlfriend's cheek, making her squirm and giggle.

I smiled. They looked like a happy family. Irene looked up and smiled kindly at me, immediately erasing the cold and aloof first impression I had of her.

"Come, Minsoo! Sit here!" she said, gesturing towards the chair next to her. "A–Ah, yes, Sunbaenim..." I said, walking towards her.

I sat next to her awkwardly. Yeoni and Jennie sat across the table, while Jisoo kept standing, serving the delicious looking and smelling soup, which turned out to be haejangguk, to our personal bowls. I felt awkward as I received the bowl from Jisoo, thanking her. Jennie noticed my nervousness and giggled.

"Ya, Minsoo! Why are you so nervous? Just enjoy the food and eat! You skipped lunch and dinner yesterday, right? You must be really hungry right now!" she scolded me jokingly. "I can hear his stomach rumbling the entire time, Jen," uttered Irene, slurping her soup. "Girls! Stop teasing poor Minsoo and let him enjoy his breakfast in peace!" exclaimed Jisoo.

They all laughed, and slowly, I laughed too. I didn't know these people personally, but they were very kind towards me, a complete nobody. I chuckled, said my thanks again to Jisoo, and scooped the haejangguk with my spoon.

As soon as the hot and spicy soup entered my mouth, I felt like all my strength returned almost immediately. My eyes lit up, and I instinctively turned to look at Jisoo. She looked at me in surprise.

"Omo... Why do you suddenly stare at me like that, Minsoo-ssi?" she asked me. "A–Ah... S–Sorry, Sunbaenim... I–It's just... It's so good!" I exclaimed.

Jisoo giggled and nodded, while Yeoni sighed and smiled.

"What did I tell you? She's one of the best in Korea!" Yeoni said with a chuckle. Jisoo pouted. "'One of the best'? I am the best!" she protested jokingly.

They all laughed again. Yeoni leaned in to kiss Jisoo's cheek. Jisoo blushed slightly, and she smiled as she sat down at the head of the table. Jennie looked at me and smiled.

"You're brave, Minsoo-ya," she said. "P–Pardon?" I asked her. Jennie chuckled. "What you did yesterday. You're a brave man," she said again.

I felt confused. As far as I remembered, I didn't really do much during the fight. In fact, I didn't fight at all, only looking here and there in fear, witnessing the amazing IPG members beat down Park Manse and his thugs.

"I–I... I didn't do anything yesterday, really..." I said shyly. "I... I just stood there and watched all of you save the day."

Irene chuckled next to me. I turned and saw her sipping her coffee.

"No. Jennie was talking about how you uncovered the plot to make Suzy fail," she said calmly.

Jennie nodded, but I shook my head.

"I... It was by chance. I overheard Jung-isanim talking on the phone," I said.

"But you still did the right thing by informing Suzy-ssi immediately," Yeoni said. "That started the entire operation to bring him down and stop Momo, Mina, and Tzuyu from signing the contracts."

I looked at him. His words were true, but somehow I still didn't feel deserving of the praise. Jennie slurped her soup, and suddenly something came to her mind. She straightened herself.

"Also, don't forget! You tackled Jung Hosung-ssi and stopped him from running away," said Jennie. "While he was holding a gun," added Yeoni. "That he pointed at you," continued Irene. "And you kicked it away," said Jennie. "So Yeoni could take it," said Irene. "And used it to stop Manse from killing Tzuyu," Yeoni said.

"Ya," said Jisoo suddenly.

We all turned to look at her. She was scowling at the four of us.

"Are you seriously going to go around the table taking turns describing all the horrible things that happened yesterday? Can't we just have our breakfast in peace?" she scolded us exasperatedly, sounding like a mom scolding her naughty children.

Yeoni chuckled.

"Mianhae, Your Noona-ness..." he said jokingly. Jisoo slapped his arm, but she giggled afterwards. "Aigoo... Stop talking and just eat! The haejangguk will go bad!" she said urgently.

We all chuckled and nodded, deciding to just enjoy our breakfast. Jennie was bubbly and kept talking through the meal, although to her credit, she didn't mention the events from yesterday at all. Irene was elegant, Jisoo was warm and motherly, while Yeoni was simply cool and calm. I found myself longing to be part of a family like this.

After breakfast, Jennie and Irene helped Jisoo wash the dishes, while Yeoni brought me outside to the patio. He took out a cigarette from a pack and offered it to me, but I refused.

"I–I don't smoke, Hyung..." I said, before apologizing. "Sorry..."

Yeoni chuckled. He lit up his cig and took a long drag, before puffing out a cloud of smoke.

"No, no. It's good," he said, before turning to look at me. "What are you going to do next?" "W–What do you mean?" I asked him. "I mean... What are you going to do right now, after breakfast?" he clarified.

I considered his words for a moment, then I remembered something.

"Hyung, y–you... You told me earlier that Jeongyeon and Chuyoung are in the hospital," I said. He nodded. "Ah, yes. I said I'll bring you there. You must want to meet your members, right?" he asked me. "Yes. I... I want to see them," I said while nodding.

Yeoni nodded and took another drag from his cigarette. Another question came to my mind.

"Are they... Are they seriously okay, Hyung? Chuyoung and Jeongyeon, I mean," I asked him. Yeoni thought for a moment before answering. "They had surgeries yesterday. From what Sana told me, the surgeries were both successful. So I think you have nothing to worry about," he said calmly.

I nodded. I found myself wanting to ask another question, but I felt embarrassed to ask it. Yeoni noticed this and bumped his elbow to my arm.

"You have another thing to say. Just say it, Minsoo-ya. Don't be afraid," he said.

I chuckled nervously and looked up to him.

"I... Is... Is Jihyo there in the hospital too with the rest of them?" I asked him.

Yeoni stared at my face for a moment, but then he smiled.

"So you're with her, huh? Yeah. She's there. She was here with us yesterday, looking really worried for you. She left at night after dinner. We actually asked her to stay here if she wanted, but she said she needed to go back to the apartment to look after the girls. Earlier today she came here and brought you some change of clothes," Yeoni explained.

I felt my face blushing, and I smiled knowing Jihyo was worried about me. Yeoni chuckled and placed his arm on my shoulder.

"You've improved a lot, Minsoo-ya. I still remember you asked me how to be close with them that night in the bar, and now you've already made one of them fall in love with you. You're doing great," he said, praising me.

"A–Ah, yes. Kamsahamnida, Hyungnim," I said shyly.

Yeoni finished his cigarette and stumped the butt on an ashtray. He smiled and tapped my shoulder.

"Come on. You need to shower, then I'll take you to the hospital," he said, walking inside.

I followed him inside, and he directed me to the bathroom. I took a quick shower, got dressed, said my goodbyes to the girls, before following Yeoni to his car. He drove me to the hospital, and dropped me off at the lobby. I stepped out of the car and bowed to thank him.

"Kamsahamnida, Hyungnim. Are... Are you not joining me?" I asked him. Yeoni smiled and shook his head. "It's Tuesday, Minsoo-ya. I need to work, and so do you!" he said. I didn't understand him at first. "I–I'm sorry?" I asked. He chuckled. "You're Twice's manager, right? Go manage them now!" he said, before driving away.

I watched as his car exited the hospital and smiled. I felt thankful to have Yeoni as someone to look up to. The way he treated Jisoo, Jennie, and Irene with respect and the way he genuinely cared for them were something I always wanted to be able to do. Smiling wider, I took a deep breath and entered the hospital.

I had texted Jihyo earlier, telling her that I had woken up and was going to the hospital. Jihyo told me that she was in Jeongyeon's room on the fifth floor, so I took the lift up. It was the VVIP ward. I knocked on the door to Jeongyeon's room and waited for a few moments before someone opened the door. It was Dahyun.

"Minsoo-Oppa!" she squealed and hugged me. I hugged back and laughed. "Hi, Dubu!" I said.

I looked up and saw Jihyo had rushed to the door when she saw me. Dahyun let go of me and giggled, giving Jihyo the space to hug me freely. She hugged me tightly, and before I could do anything, she kissed my lips warmly. I felt my face burn in embarrassment, but I kissed her back nonetheless.

"Hi, Jihyo..." I whispered as we separated. "Minchu... I'm so happy that you're okay!" she said, wiping tears from her eyes.

I hugged her again and kissed her cheek, before entering the room. Dahyun closed the door behind us, and we walked together to the bedroom. Momo and Sana looked up and smiled when they saw me. Jeongyeon was lying on the bed, looking really pale, even paler than Dahyun, her left arm was put in a cast up to her shoulder, but she smiled the widest.

"That's my Little Brother right there..." said Jeongyeon, looking happy, but I noticed that her voice was way weaker than it usually sounded, almost reduced to a whisper.

I laughed and walked to her side, hugging her carefully from her right side.

"I'm so happy you're okay, Noona..." I whispered to her ear. Jeongyeon chuckled weakly. "Of course. One bullet is not enough to put me down..." she uttered. "The doctor said the bullet went right through her, thankfully, so they only needed to stitch her up," said Jihyo.

"But Unnie did lose a lot of blood," said Dahyun. Jeongyeon chuckled. "Oh, yeah. I bled like crazy, right..." she scoffed. "I thought I was a goner, really."

I chuckled and shook my head. I knew that my Noona was one of the toughest people around.

"Ya! You told me that you'll be okay yesterday! You even gave me a thumbs up!" I protested jokingly. Jeongyeon chuckled, sounding frail. "You were crying like a baby... What did you expect me to say? 'See you in heaven, Minsoo'?" she said.

We all laughed, but I noticed that Momo and Sana were very quiet. I looked at them, and I noticed that both their eyes were red and swollen, especially Sana's. She looked up and smiled.

"Hi Minsoo..." she uttered weakly. I reached to grab her shoulder gently. "Are you alright, Sha?" I asked her.

She nodded, but she evidently still looked shaken. Jeongyeon scoffed.

"My girlfriend here keeps crying the entire night... As if her tears could magically wake me up," she uttered. Sana glared at her, but she smiled. "I was worried sick, you know! I thought you're gone!" she complained, tears started leaking from her eyes again. She honestly looked so cute.

Jeongyeon smiled warmly and held Sana's hand.

"Don't worry, Sha... I won't leave you to have fun with Dubu alone..." she whispered naughtily. "Ya! Unnie!" complained Dahyun, her face blushing red, but Jeongyeon's words made all of us laugh, even Sana.

I looked at Momo, who stood awkwardly a few steps behind all of us. I smiled and flung my arm around her shoulders.

"I'm glad you're okay, Momo," I said gently.

She looked down, finding the right words to speak.

"I... I–uh. I have to apologise to you, Minsoo... To all of you... I... I caused all the trouble. I put your lives in danger, all of you..." she whispered.

Jeongyeon, Jihyo, Dahyun, and Sana stared at her for a moment. Slowly, Dahyun walked to her side to hug her, followed by Jihyo. Soon, Sana stood up and hugged her too. Momo looked down, and I saw tears streaming from her eyes.

"I'm sorry, girls... I'm sorry... It was all my mistake. If I wasn't so stubborn, I... Jeongie..." she whispered, but Sana shushed her. "It's alright, Momoring... Stop blaming yourself," she said kindly. "We all love you, Momo..." whispered Jihyo.

Momo hugged the girls and cried. I sat on the bed next to Jeongyeon, smiling as I watched the girls reconcile with each other. I felt Jeongyeon's foot tapping my back, and I turned to look at her. She was wiping tears from her eyes, but she smiled happily.

"We're finally one again, right, Little Bro?" she whispered. I smiled and nodded.

I spent almost half an hour in Jeongyeon's room, talking and joking with everyone, totally enjoying this feeling of unity once again, now with Momo back together with us. Jeongyeon's spirit was high, even while she looked so frail and fragile. At noon, I stood up, and told everyone that I wanted to see Chuyoung.

"He's in the room next door," said Jihyo. "The others are there to accompany Tzuyu and him."

I nodded, saying my goodbyes to everyone, before turning to smile at Jeongyeon.

"Get well soon, Noona," I said. She smiled and nodded. "I will, Little Bro..." she said calmly.

Jihyo walked with me to the door, hugging and kissing me one more time.

"I love you, Minchu. Thank you for everything," she said. I smiled. "I love you too, Mommy. Don't forget to rest, okay?" I said. She nodded.

She opened the door for me. I kissed her cheek and went out, going to the next room. I knocked on the door, and this time I had to wait a little longer. Finally, Chaeyoung opened the door for me, and she smiled wide when she saw me.

"Oh, Oppa!" she said, rushing to hug me. I hugged her back and smiled, but then I realised that she looked sad. "Is everyone alright?" I asked her. She nodded slowly. "I... Yeah. I... I'm worried for Tzuyu, though," she said, lowering her voice. "What do you mean?" I asked her, feeling alarmed. "She... She hasn't eaten anything since yesterday, and... And she kept crying, and... Well..." her words trail off.

I understood her, and honestly, I kinda understood Tzuyu too. I went inside with her, meeting Mina, who had just exited the bedroom.

"Hi, Mina," I greeted her.

She waved and smiled, but didn't say anything. She looked a little sad. I followed her inside, and I immediately understood what made them look that way. While Jeongyeon's room was filled with laughter and jokes, this one felt a lot more sombre.

Chuyoung was still unconscious, an electrocardiogram machine beeping by his bedside. His torso was bandaged heavily. I saw Tzuyu sitting by the bedside, still in her same outfit from yesterday. Tzuyu looked so weak, like she hadn't slept for a long time.

"Hi, Tzuyu," I said softly.

She didn't look up, as if she didn't hear me, like she was in her own world. I walked towards the bedside, staring at Chuyoung. I noticed that he was breathing using a nasal oxygen cannula. His eyes were closed, and he looked at peace. Mina walked beside me.

"The... Surgery to remove the bullets was successful. One bullet nested a few centimeters next to his heart, while the other almost punctured his lungs, but he'll survive. He just needs some rest," she explained softly. I nodded.

"He hasn't woken up yet?" I whispered my question. Mina shook her head. "No. He lost a lot of blood too," she whispered.

I nodded and looked up to Tzuyu. She was staring at Chuyoung, tears still streaming from her eyes. Her fingers rubbed Chuyoung's knuckle absentmindedly. I walked beside her and touched her shoulder gently. Startled, she looked up, and when she saw me, she forced a weak smile.

"H–Hi, Oppa..." she whispered. "Are you alright, Tzuyu?" I asked her gently. She smiled and nodded, but she didn't look okay. "Y–Yeah. Thanks, Oppa..." she whispered, looking back at Chuyoung.

The bedroom door opened, revealing Nayeon. She looked disheveled and tired, and I noticed that she too was still wearing the same clothes she wore yesterday. She must have stayed with Tzuyu the entire time.

"H–Hi, Minsoo..." she greeted me weakly. I waved and smiled.

Nayeon walked slowly to Tzuyu's side, clutching a clear zip-lock bag in her hands. She touched Tzuyu's shoulder and the maknae looked up.

"What is it, Unnie?" she asked her.

Nayeon thought for a moment, finding the right words, before looking straight at Tzuyu. She took out a folded piece of paper from the bag.

"Tzu... I–uh... I just went downstairs to pick up Chuyoung's belongings... From his clothes yesterday. I... I think this is for you," she uttered.

Nayeon handed Tzuyu the paper. Tzuyu picked it up slowly and opened it. It was a letter, written on a piece of a hotel notepad paper. Tzuyu slowly read it, and the more she went through it, the more tears streamed down from her eyes. Nayeon grabbed Tzuyu's shoulder gently, and I noticed that she was crying too.

Tzuyu broke down in tears and stood up, hugging Nayeon. They both cried, but Tzuyu cried the loudest. Her body shook violently as she bawled and bawled, her face buried in Nayeon's shoulder.

"I'm sorry, Tzu... I'm so sorry... I judged him wrongly and I... I'm so... so... Sorry..." whispered Nayeon through her sobs. Tzuyu nodded rapidly, but she continued crying.

I looked at the paper that was on the bed, and I picked it up curiously. The words were blurred, the ink smeared with Tzuyu's tears, but I could still read it. Chaeyoung and Mina were evidently curious, and they huddled behind me to read the letter too.

Tzuyu,

When I am with you Something magical happens I keep smiling for no reason Though there's nothing going on A spell is cast upon me

I could stay up all night without feeling sleepy All other thoughts go away and my heart beats louder Suddenly love feels so easy

So I fall deeper and deeper for you That's what you do to me

Saranghae, Nam Chuyoung

I looked up, feeling like I recognised these words. Chaeyoung and Mina chuckled, but I saw tears dripping from their eyes.

"Isn't this..." I asked. Mina and Chaeyoung nodded, wiping their tears. "Yeah... It's the lyrics of 'Alcohol Free'..." said Mina softly. "The guy's so cheesy..." uttered Chaeyoung, tears kept streaming down from her eyes.

I stared at Chuyoung, and slowly, I smiled. Yes, this guy was cheesy, but he was also the bravest man I knew. He might not be able to communicate his feelings directly to Tzuyu, but at least he tried, and to be honest, I thought he picked the perfect song to express his love for the woman he was willing to die for.

* * *

"Right. So... Everything is packed up! Are we ready to go?"

Jeongyeon was skipping giddily, excited to finally go home. She was worried that she would stay in the hospital until the new year, but today, right on December 31st, the doctor finally said she could go home. Her left arm was still put in a sling, but it didn't dampen her spirit.

"Ya! You're still in your hospital gown! Are you seriously going to just parade your butt in front of everyone?" exclaimed Sana, slapping Jeongyeon's butt.

Jeongyeon squealed and turned, glaring at her girlfriend, but she reached for a kiss anyway. Sana giggled and kissed her cheek loudly.

"Alright! Alright! But you gotta help me change, though!" she said naughtily. Sana blushed. "Oh that will take a long time don't you think?" she teased her. "Oh my God, seriously, you two! Get a room!" complained Jihyo.

Sana and Jeongyeon laughed. I laughed too, as did Dahyun, Momo, Mina, and Chaeyoung. Jihyo scowled for a moment, but then she joined us laughing. I really enjoyed this feeling. Finally Twice was whole again, and I couldn't be more thankful.

"Sana-unnie, don't you have a meeting with the IPG soon?" said Dahyun. Sana's eyes widened. "Oh my gosh, you're right! I totally forgot!" she said, gasping. Jeongyeon smirked. "Ah well... Then Dubu'll be the lucky one to help me change!" she exclaimed.

Sana slapped her arm, and Jeongyeon chuckled. Dahyun's face blushed, but she smiled and nodded. They laughed together, while the rest of us shook our heads. These three, seriously! Momo stood up.

"Well... Say hello to the IPG for me, okay?" she told me. I nodded. Mina stood up with her. "We'll go back to the apartment first. Lots to prepare for our New Year's Eve celebration tonight!" she said. "Ooo... What dessert are you going to make for us tonight, Unnie?" asked Chaeyoung excitedly, clapping her hands.

Mina laughed and winked at the Baby Tiger.

"Oh I'm sure you'll love it," she said. "Yay!" exclaimed Chaeyoung cutely. "See you back home, Jeongie!" said Momo. Jeongyeon nodded and smiled.

Momo and Mina said their goodbyes, and they left. I was about to ask Jihyo to leave with me, when Sana suddenly called my name.

"Minsoo-ya! Suzy-unnie actually told me to ask you to come to the meeting too," she said. I raised an eyebrow. "Eh? Me? What for?" I asked her confusedly. She shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe she wanted to thank you personally," she said. "Can I come too?" asked Jihyo. Sana looked at her for a moment and nodded. "Yeah, sure! Why not," she said with a smile.

I looked at Jihyo, who nodded confidently. To be honest I felt Jihyo would make a great IPG member, with all her knowledge of the industry. Maybe I should ask Suzy to let her join her ranks.

Chaeyoung and Dahyun took out a set of clothes for Jeongyeon. Sana prepared to leave with Jihyo and I, but not before she kissed Jeongyeon's lips again, smiling at her girlfriend.

"I'll see you at home tonight, Babe..." Jeongyeon whispered lovingly. Sana nodded. "Don't get shot while I'm gone," she said jokingly. Jeongyeon laughed. "Oh, I might get shot with some Dubu juice at least," she said naughtily. "YA!" Dahyun, Chaeyoung, Jihyo, and I shouted. Jeongyeon cackled.

Sana, Jihyo, and I left the room, leaving Jeongyeon under Dahyun and Chaeyoung's care. We decided to visit Chuyoung's room next door before we left, as Nayeon needed to join the IPG meeting too and we wanted to make sure that Tzuyu was okay.

Nayeon opened the door for us and smiled. She looked much better now. I knew Nayeon finally managed to convince Tzuyu to come home with her, but Tzuyu still spent most of her time in the hospital, staying by Chuyoung's side, faithfully waiting for her lover to regain consciousness.

"How are they doing?" I asked Nayeon. She shrugged. "He's stable, but still unconscious. Tzuyu's... Doing better," she said tentatively.

I entered the room, and Tzuyu looked up and smiled as she saw us.

"Hi, guys!" she tried greeting us cheerfully, but I noticed that she still looked really tired and sad. "Are you alright, Tzu?" I asked her. She nodded and smiled. "I'm fine, Oppa. Thanks," she said softly.

She looked back at Chuyoung. He still looked at peace, and I noticed that his heart rate was better. I hoped he'd soon regain consciousness. Sana cleared her throat and approached Nayeon.

"Nabong, we need to go now. IPG meeting," she said. Nayeon nodded and looked at Tzuyu. "Tzu, I need to leave. Will you join us later for our New Year's Eve celebration?" she asked her.

Tzuyu looked up and nodded.

"Yeah, Unnie. I'll stop by later," she said softly. "Jeongie, Dubu, and Chaeng are preparing to go home now. I'll tell them to come here before they leave," Jihyo said. Tzuyu nodded again.

I walked slowly, approaching Tzuyu. I rested my palm on her shoulder.

"Are you sure you're okay, Tzu?" I asked her carefully. She looked up and smiled. "Yeah, Oppa. I'm fine. Chuyoung-oppa is stable, so I have my hopes up," she said. "Thank you for caring for me..."

I stared at her for a moment, before smiling. The sorrow in her voice was still clearly evident, but I decided to just give her some space. I nodded, before joining Nayeon, Sana, and Jihyo.

"We're leaving now, Tzu. Take care," said Nayeon. Tzuyu nodded again. "I'll see you later tonight," she said, smiling weakly.

Nayeon, Sana, Jihyo, and I walked slowly towards the door, leaving the bedroom. We opened it gently, not wanting to disturb Tzuyu and Chuyoung. Suddenly, we heard a soft voice from inside the bedroom. A gentle voice, a singing voice, singing an English song. I felt like I knew that song.

"When I fall in love... It will be forever... Or I'll never fall... In love..."

I turned to look at the girls, and we all realised that it was Tzuyu who was singing inside. We looked at each other, and our curiosity won. Slowly, silently, we walked back to the entrance of the bedroom.

"In a restless world... Like this is... Love is ended before it's begun... And too many moonlight kisses, seemed to cool in the warmth... of the sun..."

Tzuyu was staring at Chuyoung while singing the lyrics very softly. Almost absentmindedly, she rested her chin on the bed, her hand rubbing Chuyoung's limp hand. She didn't realise that her friends were standing there at the door, a private audience to her heart breaking performance.

"When I give my heart... It will be completely... Or I'll never give... My heart..."

I saw tears start to fill Tzuyu's beautiful eyes. She kept staring at her lover, and slowly, she smiled her gorgeous dimpled smile. I felt tears starting to flood my eyes too.

"And the moment... I can feel that... You feel that way too... Is... When I fall in love... with... you..."

Tzuyu closed her eyes, tears dripping down her cheeks. She bowed her head down, resting her face on the bed. I thought she was crying, but a few moments later I realised that she had fallen asleep. She must have been so tired.

I looked around at the girls, and I saw that their eyes were all wet with tears. Nayeon wiped her eyes once, then slowly, she walked inside. She picked a blanket from the sofa and placed it gently over Tzuyu's shoulders, letting her sleep more comfortably.

"Come on, let's go..." Nayeon whispered as she walked back to join us, wiping her teary eyes.

I stole another glance at the sleeping couple in the hospital bedroom before we left. Their love for each other was so powerful and genuine, and I found myself admiring them. Chuyoung for his bravery and selflessness, and Tzuyu for the pureness of heart, for giving Chuyoung the chance he needed for his redemption. I followed the girls out of the room, and closed the door behind me gently.

We walked to the parking lot in silence. Jihyo joined me in the TWD car, while Nayeon joined Sana's car. We drove to Guryong and entered the IPG warehouse. When I parked the car, I noticed that there were so many luxury cars parked side by side, the warehouse's entrance looked almost like a car showroom.

Jihyo and I walked inside, following Nayeon and Sana. When I reached the main common area, I realised who those cars belonged to. Chairs and sofas had been brought to this area to cater for the number of people who were joining this meeting. So many K-pop stars were present, both from the Second Generation and the Third, all gathering around the atrium. I felt my mouth gaped looking at them.

"They're all IPG?" whispered Jihyo. I shook my head, not knowing how to answer.

From where Jihyo and I stood, I could make out the three separate divisions of IPG. To my right sat Taeyeon, who was talking with Irene, Sooyoung, Jennie, Seulgi, and Joy. I assumed these were the IPG strike force.

To their left, sitting right in front of Jihyo and I, sat IU and Dara. Around them, sat Lisa, Rosé, and Wendy. These were the hackers, spies, and information brokers of the IPG. After knowing what IU was capable of doing, I couldn't help but to see her differently, now with a touch of fear.

On the far left, Seungyeon sat with her Care Team, some of whom were present three days ago in the aftermath of the fight. Nayeon walked straight to join SNSD's Sunny and Seohyun, as well as Red Velvet's Yeri. Jisoo sat with them calmly, smiling as she welcomed Nayeon to sit on her side.

Sana walked to the center of the room, joining Suzy, who was talking with Yeoni and the detective from three days ago. I couldn't remember her name, but I remembered that she looked so much like Jeongyeon. Sana touched Suzy's shoulder, and the IPG leader turned around, while Yeoni looked up and noticed that I was there. He smiled and walked towards me.

"Minsoo-ya!" he said, greeting me. I smiled and nodded nervously. He reached us and clasped my shoulder warmly, before smiling at Jihyo. "Welcome to the IPG, Jihyo-ssi," he said. Jihyo only nodded, looking dumbfounded.

Suzy cleared her throat loudly. The room fell silent, and everyone present turned their attention to the two girls standing in the middle of the room: Suzy and the detective.

"Good afternoon, everyone. Hyejin... Moon-Hyeongsa has something to say," she announced. That's right. Her name was Detective Moon Hyejin.

Detective Moon stepped forward and flung her sight around the room. She cleared her throat and started speaking.

"Good afternoon, everyone. For those of you who haven't known me yet, my name is Moon Hyejin. I'm a detective from the SMPA. I have been following the IPG's movement since earlier this month, and... well... I have to say that I'm impressed," she said.

She paused for a few moments. She then looked at Yeoni, who nodded at her.

"I've learned how you guys stopped Park Manse and his gang from blackmailing Kim Jisoo-ssi to submit to their demands last year. Ji-eun-ssi has briefed me about your activities over the years since the 2010s, and I have to admit that I am truly embarrassed that the police have not learned about this for such a long time. For that, I want to express my sincerest apology from everyone in the Police Department. We have failed to protect you," she said seriously.

She bowed deep down respectfully as a sign of apology. The IPG members all nodded and smiled. Detective Moon straightened herself up and continued speaking.

"Now, the Police have released an APB for Park Manse, but for the past few days we haven't got any leads. So... I've decided that I will start a thorough investigation to find out more about Park Manse and his cronies, including his getaway driver who helped him escape from justice yesterday," she announced.

I heard murmurs from the IPG members, and from their faces, I could see that they were not taking Detective Moon's words positively. Yeoni leaned in to whisper to my ear.

"We're worried that Moon-hyeongsa and the police will take over the investigation. Manse might have people under his payroll in the Police," he whispered. I nodded, looking at Detective Moon concernedly.

To my surprise, Detective Moon smiled for the first time this afternoon, and at that moment I noticed that she was actually very beautiful. IU stood up and walked to her side.

"We've agreed that Moon-hyeongsa will conduct the investigation herself, not with the Police, because we fear that Park Manse might have his people inside the SMPA itself," the spymaster announced.

I could feel the tension in the room easing almost immediately. Detective Moon nodded and continued.

"Yes. I agree with her. We cannot trust anyone outside of the IPG, not even my colleagues in the Police. Besides that, the IPG have proven that you are as resourceful as anyone, if not more. Hence, I have asked for her permission to... Borrow... some of her members, to help me in my investigation," she said.

The IPG spy team exchanged glances between themselves, but I could see that they were excited. IU smiled and looked at Taeyeon and Seungyeon.

"Actually, Taengoo-Unnie and Seungyeon-unnie... I might need to borrow some of your members too," she said cutely.

Taeyeon and Seungyeon looked up in surprise for a moment, but they shrugged and chuckled.

"Anything for the IPG, Ji-eun," Taeyeon said casually. Seungyeon nodded.

IU smiled and nodded, before turning to the floor again.

"Alright. Until last year, Park Manse was a YG executive, and before that: JYPE and SM. Hence, if we want to dig deeper into his story, we'll have to start from these three companies. Luckily for us, we have everyone here," she said, before looking straight at her members, who smiled at her.

"Rosie, you'll be helping Moon-hyeongsa to learn more about Manse from his time in YG. Our new member Lisa can help you," she said. Rosé and Lisa nodded, smiling happily.

"From SM... Wendy, of course," IU said, before adding. "And I know Joy, Seulgi, and Yeri will be happy to help."

The Red Velvet members nodded and smiled.

"From JYPE, Dara-unnie and the Consigliere had volunteered to help," she said, looking at Dara and Sana. They both smiled and nodded. "And I know Nabong is eager to help as well."

Nayeon nodded and chuckled, while Sana placed a hand on IU's shoulder.

"There are two more people that will help us from JYPE," she said, looking straight in my direction.

Everyone turned to look at us suddenly. I felt my face blushed in embarrassment, and Jihyo squeezed my hand, surprised by the sudden attention. Sana smiled.

"Jihyo is one of the most loyal JYPE employees, she'd been in the company for almost her entire life. Her knowledge and connection will be invaluable for our investigation," she announced.

I turned to look at Jihyo, and she was looking around in surprise. Her mouth opened and closed, but no words came out. Sana giggled, while IU smiled as she looked at her.

"Jihyo-ssi. Will you join my team to find out more about Manse?" she proposed.

Jihyo stared silently at her for a few moments, before turning to look at me, as if asking permission. I smiled and nodded. She would be perfect. Finally, Jihyo nodded slowly.

"Y–Yes, Unnie. I will join you," she said. IU smiled. "Well, welcome to the IPG!" IU said happily.

Everyone clapped, but the spy team clapped the loudest. Rosé, Lisa, and Wendy beckoned her to join them. I smiled and nodded at Jihyo, telling her to go. Jihyo giggled and walked towards the spy team, sitting together with them. Sana smiled happily, giving Jihyo two thumbs up, before turning her attention towards me.

"And... We all know how Han Minsoo-ssi helped uncover the revenge plot, so... I think he'll be a great help for us in our investigation," she said. IU nodded and smiled.

"I'll be counting on you, Minsoo-ya!" she said, winking at me. I felt really embarrassed. "I... Well... It was pure luck, Sunbaenim... I..." I stuttered, but I felt Yeoni's hand on my shoulder. "Luck is a skill, Minsoo-ya," he said calmly.

I stared at him for a second. His words didn't actually make any sense, but I chuckled nonetheless. Slowly, I nodded towards IU.

"A–Alright, Sunbaenim. I will help," I said.

IU and Sana laughed and gave me a thumbs up, but Suzy stood from her chair. She smiled wide as she looked at me, and started clapping.

"Let's hear it for my gutsy intern and our newest associate: Han Minsoo-ssi!" she declared happily.

The IPG members all stood and applauded me, Nayeon, Jihyo, and Sana even cheered for me loudly. Yeoni slapped my back a few times while laughing.

"Welcome to the team, Minsoo-ya!" he exclaimed. "T–Thanks, Hyungnim," I stuttered, a stupid grin forming on my face.

After a while, IU cleared her throat. Everybody sat back down and turned their attention back to the Spymaster. She looked at Detective Moon and smiled.

"You have your team, Hyejin-ssi," she said. Detective Moon nodded. "Alright. I will be starting right away with SM, together with Seulgi, Yeri, Joy, and Wendy. The rest of you, please get back to me when you find anything, okay?" she said. Everyone nodded.

Detective Moon bowed respectfully again, saying her goodbyes, before walking out from the warehouse. Seulgi, Yeri, Joy, and Wendy stood up, nodded to the Leaders, and they followed her out. IU went back to her seat, together with her spy team. Suzy stood up and cleared her throat.

"Right. Now that we've covered the most urgent matter..." she said, before turning to look at Taeyeon. "I think... Taengoo-unnie... Has a very important announcement to make."

Taeyeon smiled, and I could see her face blushing a little bit. Suzy couldn't hide her excitement, and she squealed when Taeyeon finally stood up. The Strike Force head walked to the center of the room, slapping Suzy's arm playfully. She looked at everyone, taking a deep breath, before speaking.

"I... Yeah. Shit. How to say this..." she said, shaking her head. I leaned forward, curious to find out what she was about to say.

Taeyeon took a few deep breaths, then she spoke.

"I'm... Two months pregnant. With my third child," she announced.

I heard loud gasps filling the room, but it soon turned to cheers and happy screams. Sana, IU, Seungyeon and Suzy screamed happily and ran to hug her, who hugged them back with an exasperated look, but she chuckled coolly. Sunny, Sooyoung, and Seohyun rushed to hug their leader, congratulating her noisily.

I exchanged glances with Yeoni in surprise. I knew Taeyeon had married a very wealthy chaebol heir a few years ago and they were blessed with two beautiful children, but this news was still shocking.

"Alright, alright, calm down! Calm down!" Taeyeon said, giggling.

Almost everyone stood and congratulated her, hugging and screaming and jumping up and down. Yeoni and I joined eventually, hugging the SNSD legend and congratulating her. I couldn't help but to laugh seeing these girls. They all looked so happy. Finally, Taeyeon raised her arm to stop everyone from talking and cheering.

"Okaaaay! Calm the fuck down everyone!!" she shouted loudly.

We all laughed and returned to our seats, except for Sunny, Seohyun, and Sooyoung, who all stood by her side. Taeyeon cleared her throat.

"Right. I'm pregnant. So... I can't be going around punching and kicking people like what I did three days ago. It's dangerous. My OB-GYN screamed at my face yesterday when I did my check-up with her," she said, giggling mischievously.

She seriously sounded like a naughty teenage boy. Yes. Boy. Not a girl.

"Sooo... I'll be taking a..." she paused, looking at Jisoo. Jisoo chuckled and nodded, as if giving her permission. "... A hiatus–borrowing Blackpink's term–from my role as IPG's Head of Strike Force."

Everyone nodded understandingly, but a question came to my mind. We were conducting an investigation on Park Manse, and sooner or later, we would inevitably come across him and his cronies again. Who would be leading the charge, then, if a physical confrontation were inevitable? Would IU do it? But she'd already have so many things on her plate. As if reading my thoughts, Taeyeon continued.

"So... In the time being, while I'm gone... I've... Appointed a replacement," she announced.

Taeyeon turned to look at Suzy.

"You want to make the announcement?" Taeyeon asked her, but Suzy shook her head. "You do it, Unnie," she said, smiling wide.

Taeyeon smiled and nodded. In a mischievous way, she turned slowly to her SNSD members, adding to the suspense. They all glared at her.

"Enough with the dramatic pause, Unnie!" Seohyun complained. "Ya! Stop trying to make everything so suspenseful!" exclaimed Sooyoung. "Oh for fuck's sake, Taengoo! Just announce it!" scolded Sunny.

Taeyeon cackled her iconic laugh, before turning to the Strike Force. She raised her arm, pointing at their direction.

"Please welcome, the new IPG Head of Strike Force... Well, until I'm back, at least... IRENE!" she announced loudly.

The Strike Force team cheered loudly, and soon the entire room erupted in cheers. Irene's face had turned as red as a tomato, and she smiled really shyly. Jennie shook her best friend's shoulders violently, her mouth gaping so wide.

"You didn't tell me!!!" she shouted. Irene glared at her. "Taengoo-Unnie told me not to!" she defended herself, but then she laughed and hugged Jennie tightly. Yeoni had rushed to join Irene and Jennie, hugging them happily.

Everyone started chanting Irene's name, led by Taeyeon herself. The Strike Force members pushed Irene to the center of the room, and the new IPG Leader walked there slowly, looking totally shy and embarrassed. Jennie shushed the whole room, allowing Irene to make her first speech as the new Head of Strike Force.

"I... Hi. I'm... Um... It's an honor. Thanks," she said, looking really shy.

Everyone laughed and applauded her again, before standing from their chairs, cheering loudly. Taeyeon hugged Irene and whispered some words in her ear, making Irene laugh. Everyone started surrounding Irene, congratulating the new Leader.

Jihyo turned around and smiled at me. She raised her arm, beckoning me to join her. I laughed and rushed to her side, grasping her hand, and soon we all joined in to congratulate Irene.

We stayed in the IPG warehouse for a while, chatting and drinking with everyone, getting to know each other. I noticed Taeyeon and Jisoo talked together a lot, as if sharing knowledge about something. I smiled as I watched them talk, realising that those two were the oldest unnies of the two most successful girl groups from the Second and Third Generations. As far as I was concerned, they were both legends of the industry.

Jihyo, Sana, Nayeon, and I said our goodbyes to everyone in the warehouse around 5 pm, realising that there was still another gathering we needed to attend: Twice's very own New Year's Eve Celebration. When we reached our car, Suzy caught up with us.

"I'll be joining you in the apartment with Mr. Shin. There's something we needed to do with all of you. JYPE business," she said briefly.

We exchanged curious glances with each other, not knowing what she meant, but Suzy only winked and left us, going back to the headquarters. Eventually, Sana shrugged.

"Ah well... Let's just wait for her at home. Come on! I miss the girls!" she said happily.

We chuckled and entered our cars, driving back to our apartment. Jihyo and I talked about the IPG and how excited we were to start working with them on our way home, and in no time, we reached the Twice apartment in Hannam.

We went up to the 22nd floor, and when we opened the door, the apartment was already filled with the delicious aroma of food. The living room was empty, so everyone must have been in the kitchen.

"Did someone come?" I heard Dahyun's voice. "Is it the IPG members?" Jeongyeon answered with another question.

A second later, I saw Dahyun's face peeking from the kitchen door. She gasped and grinned widely when she saw us.

"It's them!" she announced, before running to hug Sana. Sana giggled and slapped the pale girls' butt repeatedly.

"Did you manage shoot Jeongie?" she asked mischievously. "Ya! Unnie!" Dahyun exclaimed, but she giggled nonetheless.

Momo, Mina, Chaeyoung, and Jeongyeon followed Dahyun to join us, and to my delight, Tzuyu was walking behind them, smiling happily. She looked well-rested now, and she reached to hug Nayeon when she saw her. Nayeon hugged back happily, giggling.

"Alright! Everyone's here! What's cooking? I'm hungry!" Jihyo asked everyone. "Jeongyeon-unnie insisted on cooking, even with her arm in a sling!" reported Chaeyoung.

Sana glared at her girlfriend, but I spoke first.

"Ya! Noona! You don't need to exert yourself like that! You should rest!" I scolded her. "I could still cook all the food with one arm!" Jeongyeon defended herself, laughing happily.

We were all busy talking and joking, when suddenly we heard the doorbell. I somehow knew who that was.

"That must be Suzy-sunbaenim," I said, walking to the door to open it.

I was right. It was Suzy, together with Mr. Shin, who smiled brightly.

"Hello, Minsoo-ssi!" he greeted me happily. I noticed that he was carrying a large folder. Suzy smiled. "May we come in?" she asked me. "Suzy-unnie! Come in, come in!" exclaimed Jeongyeon from inside.

Suzy chuckled and entered the apartment together with Mr. Shin. She went straight to Jeongyeon.

"How are you, Jeongyeonie?" she asked her. Jeongyeon nodded and smiled. "I'm great, Unnie. I'll recover in no time," she said confidently. Suzy chuckled and nodded. "I admire your spirit!" she said happily, before turning her attention to Tzuyu. "I'm so glad you're doing fine, Tzuyu," she said kindly, reaching for a hug. Tzuyu smiled and hugged her back. "Thanks, Unnie. Thanks to the IPG for saving us, too," she said softly.

Suzy released Tzuyu gently, smiling as she walked with Mr. Shin inside and sat on the sofas. We followed them and sat around the living room. I noticed that this was extremely similar to what happened during the Christmas Eve celebration, but now, everything was much better. Much, much better.

Tzuyu sat happily next to Nayeon, who rested her head on the maknae's shoulder lovingly. Momo and Mina sat with Chaeyoung, the three of them holding hands. Sana, Jeongyeon, and Dahyun sat together on one sofa, giggling and smiling. Jihyo sat next to me, holding my hand. I smiled and looked at Suzy and Mr. Shin, waiting expectantly on what she was going to say. She looked at each of us once, before clearing her throat.

"Alright. I have two announcements to make. The first one... I bet all of you have already known about it," she started.

She looked at Jihyo, who nodded. Somehow, I fully understood what she was talking about.

"Jihyo told me yesterday that... All of you have decided to renew your contracts with JYPE," she said.

The girls clapped and cheered, while I breathed a sigh of relief. After all that had happened in the past month, eventually TWD's mission was a success. Jihyo squeezed my hand and smiled.

"All thanks to you," she whispered in my ear. I chuckled.

Suzy nodded to Mr. Shin, who hastily opened the large folder he was carrying. From it, he took nine sets of papers, distributing them to the members. I looked at Jihyo's contract when she received it and smiled.

"So... Tonight is the signing ceremony!" Suzy announced happily. "Please read the terms carefully before signing your contracts, girls."

The girls smiled and nodded, each taking out their pens and dojang. They read the contracts carefully for a few minutes, before signing their names in each of the pages, and stamping them with their dojang. They returned the documents to Mr. Shin, who carefully placed it inside his folder again, smiling happily as he did it. Jihyo looked around the room at her members.

"Girls? Is that our final decision? Are we extending our contract with JYPE? What's the answer?" she said. The girls smiled. "We've only got two choices, Jihyo," said Mina. I heard Chaeyoung chuckled. "Yes... or... Yes?" she said. The girls laughed. "YES!" they exclaimed in unison, before cheering and clapping loudly.

I laughed. They all looked content and happy, and honestly, I was delighted. As a lifelong Once, I never wanted them to disband. I knew they loved each other so much, and the friendship and sisterhood that had developed for the past twelve years between them proved to be strong in the end, able to withstand even the evilest plots concocted by Manse and his cronies.

"Thank you, girls. I'm so happy," I said sincerely. They all smiled and nodded. Suzy chuckled. "Well, I have to thank Minsoo for successfully convincing all of you to stay," she said.

I felt my face blush in embarrassment, but the girls all clapped for me and thanked me too. Suzy and Mr. Shin laughed in approval, giving me thumbs up.

"That brings me to my second announcement, and it's about Han Minsoo-ssi's status as Twice's manager," Suzy said after a while.

Suddenly, I realised the truth. With Twice's contract secured, my mission had ended, and that might mean that my time as their manager was coming to its end too. I turned to look at Jihyo, who stared at me with confusion. She must have thought the same thing, for she immediately turned to face Suzy.

"Unnie... Don't tell me you've found another manager for us? A permanent one?" she asked. "What? But we like Minsoo-oppa!" protested Chaeyoung.

The others nodded in agreement, all glaring at Suzy with disappointed looks, even Mr. Shin joined the girls in glaring at his boss.

"Surely you can't ask Minsoo-Oppa to leave?" complained Dahyun. "Yeah, we've never had a manager as capable as he is!" said Momo aggressively. "I can assure you he's the best manager we've ever had, Unnie!" defended Jeongyeon. "He's a great cook too!" said Mina urgently. "Unnie, you have to see him cutting those veggies!" "I don't want Minsoo-Oppa to leave..." uttered Tzuyu softly. "He's so cute and adorable too!" added Sana. "He's been doing a great job as their manager this month, don't you think?" continued Mr. Shin. "And Minsoo loves Jihyo's mil..." Nayeon started.

"YA! NABONG!" shouted everyone, silencing her.

Nayeon giggled mischievously, hugging Tzuyu's arm tighter. Suzy stared at the girls for a while, surprised at their sudden barrage of defense for me. Slowly, she smiled, then the smile turned to a large grin, and finally she bursted out laughing, confusing all of us.

"B–Bae-isanim... Are you okay?" asked Mr. Shin concernedly.

Suzy kept laughing for a few more seconds, before wiping her tears and calming herself down. She grinned from ear to ear as she spoke.

"Girls! I haven't even said anything and you've attacked me!" she said, then she shook her head. "I'm not asking him to leave! I'm promoting him to be your permanent manager! No one's better than him!"

Her words stunned everyone, including myself. We stared at her blankly for a few seconds, before Nayeon screamed and leaped from the sofa, hugging me tightly. Everyone started cheering and laughing, joining us in a group hug, even Suzy and Mr. Shin.

"WAAAH!! CONGRATULATIONS MINSOO!!!" screamed Sana loudly, shaking my body and attacking my cheeks with kisses after kisses. "Yaaay! Twice's new manager! Permanent manager!" exclaimed Mr. Shin, emphasizing on the word 'permanent'.

Jeongyeon shook my body violently and slapped my back with her full strength, before kissing my cheeks loudly. Mina and the maknaes danced around me and hugged me, while Mr. Shin, Momo, and Nayeon started leading the girls to chant my name.

Honestly, I still felt stunned, like I had not believed what I heard. Suzy laughed and hugged me, patting my back. Slowly, I came back to my senses and started laughing happily. I hugged my boss back, and felt tears of joy wetting my eyes. This was a dream come true, and it would stay a reality for a long, long time.

"I'm so proud of you, Minsoo! I couldn't have done any of this without you!" she said proudly. "T–Thank you. Thank you so much, Sunbaenim!" I exclaimed, finally finding my voice again.

She let go of me and smiled. I turned to see Jihyo, who stared at me, smiling happily. I opened my arms to hug her, but she reached for my cheeks, pulling me for a kiss. I heard gasps from everyone, but soon they cheered for us. Slowly, I closed my eyes and enjoyed Jihyo's passionate kiss. After a long time, we finally separated, and I felt my face burning.

"Alright, ehm... We... Should probably leave," said Mr. Shin awkwardly.

Suzy giggled and nodded.

"Happy New Year, everyone! I'm so happy that we'll still be working together in the same company in the new year!" she exclaimed. "Happy New Year, Twice!" said Mr. Shin.

The girls and I bowed respectfully towards them, wishing them a happy new year, and they left. As soon as the door closed behind Suzy, the girls cheered again and started jumping around crazily. I laughed and joined them, but then I heard a loud rumbling sound. It was my stomach.

"Girls... Can we eat now? I'm so hungry!" I announced.

They all laughed loudly. Nayeon pointed towards the kitchen.

"The Manager said we should eat! Let's eat now! Wooo!" she exclaimed, running towards the kitchen.

We all laughed, rushing towards the kitchen, following the crazy Nabong. We all sat around the table, which was already filled with lots of delicious dishes cooked by Jeongyeon earlier, as well as a bottle of champagne brought by Tzuyu. Dahyun led us to say grace, and we thanked the Lord for the food, but most importantly for the fact that finally, Twice was united again. Jihyo raised her champagne flute after we finished praying.

"Shall we have a toast? For the new year?" she proposed. Everyone raised their flutes, but Mina shook her head. "Not just for the new year, Jihyo. For Twice," she said warmly, smiling.

Jihyo nodded and smiled.

"For Twice," she said firmly. "FOR TWICE!" everyone exclaimed, clinking our champagne flutes together.

We finished the champagne in one go, before digging into the delicious food. We talked and laughed a lot during dinner, and I drank more alcohol than I ever drank before that night, totally enjoying myself.

After dinner, Mina brought a spiced carrot cake she baked earlier. When I tasted it, I squealed in delight, because for me it was the most delicious cake she ever baked, although after a while I theorised that it might only tasted as great because I was feeling so happy that night. I shrugged, and couldn't be bothered by it. Momo poured some rosé for us to enjoy with the cake, while Nayeon made cups of marshmallow hot chocolate drink for anyone who ordered it.

Tzuyu stood up and smiled after she finished her cake. She looked at everyone happily. Nayeon looked up and smiled.

"Are you going to the hospital?" she asked her. Tzuyu nodded. "Y–yeah, Unnie," she said softly, but then she smiled really sweetly. "Would you like to join me?"

Nayeon's eyes widened in surprise and she let out a gasp. Tzuyu chuckled and stretched out her arm towards Nayeon.

"I want to spend my New Year's eve with the two people I love the most," Tzuyu said.

Nayeon's eyes flooded with happy tears and she stood up, squealing as she ran around the table to hug Tzuyu. Tzuyu giggled and hugged Nayeon tightly. I chuckled. I could never have imagined a better resolution to Nayeon and Tzuyu's conflict, remembering how angry Tzuyu looked and how sad Nayeon was when they fought.

Tzuyu pulled back, smiling wide, looking straight at Nayeon's eyes. Suddenly, to our collective surprise, Tzuyu grabbed Nayeon's cheeks gently, and she leaned forward, kissing her surprised unnie's lips warmly. Nayeon's eyes widened in surprise for a second, but the next moment I could hear her giggle. She closed her eyes, then her hands reached behind, squeezing Tzuyu's big butt naughtily.

"Oh shit... Here they go again," smirked Momo.

Nayeon and Tzuyu kissed passionately for a few moments, caressing each other. Somehow, I felt my dick start to harden beneath my pants. I gulped, trying to calm myself down, not wanting Jihyo to notice this. Thankfully, they separated, staring at each other with lust, their faces blushed red.

"Let's go, Unnie..." whispered Tzuyu.

Nayeon giggled and grabbed Tzuyu's hand, before waving to us.

"Goodbye, everyone! Happy new year!" she exclaimed. Tzuyu giggled and waved. "Bye Tzu! Bye Nabong! Happy New Year!" exclaimed Jihyo. "Play safe!" added Jeongyeon naughtily.

Nayeon and Tzuyu laughed loudly, leaving arm in arm together. I heard them closing the door. Dahyun sighed and stood up. Sana stared at her.

"Are you going to the hospital too?" she asked jokingly. Dahyun shot her a tired look. "Aigoo... No, Unnie. Somebody needs to clean up the dishes, right?" she said. Sana chuckled and nodded. Dahyun laughed and started taking the dirty plates off the table. "I'll help you, Dubu!" said Chaeyoung, standing up with her. "I'll help you too!" said Jeongyeon, but both Dahyun and Chaeyoung glared at her. "YA!" shouted Chaeyoung. "Stay where you are! Stop exerting yourself!" Dahyun yelled, sounding terrifying.

Jeongyeon pouted, but then she laughed and turned to me. I understood her and stood up.

"I'll help you two," I said.

Dahyun and Chaeyoung giggled and nodded, and we worked together collecting the dirty plates and cups, before bringing it to the sink to wash. Dahyun did the washing, Chaeyoung the soaping, while I was in charge of wiping the plates and cups all clean and dry.

We finished washing quickly, and as I dried my hands with a paper towel, I went back out to the living room. Momo beckoned Chaeyoung to join her outside on the balcony to smoke, which she gladly agreed to. Dahyun sighed and shook her head.

"Why do they like to go out so much... It's so cold out there!" she protested, but then she chuckled and walked to join Sana and Jeongyeon, who were talking happily near the bedrooms.

I noticed Jihyo was nowhere to be found, and I assumed she must be upstairs, so I started walking to the staircase, before noticing that Mina was sitting on the sofa alone. She was speaking to someone on the phone. I realised that she looked a little sad.

"Are you serious? B–But why... You've done a great job... Yeah! Yeah, and it's not your mistake, either!" she said.

Curious, I lingered at the bottom of the staircase, listening in. Who was she talking to?

"Yeah. I... Yeah. Yeah, I guess you're right. Yeah..." she said again softly.

She paused for a few moments, listening to the other person, and slowly, she smiled her gummy smile.

"O–Oh... Alright. Okay. Yeah that'll be great. Alright. See you soon. Bye... Love you," she said, giggling, before hanging up. She looked up and noticed that I had listened to her. She smiled. "It was Ansel," she said softly. "Ansel? How is he?" I asked her. I had totally forgotten about the handsome SM guy after all that happened these past few days. Mina chuckled and nodded. "He... He resigned from SM... Because... Well, because he failed to land our signatures," she said slowly, sounding a little sad. This surprised me. "What? But why? It's not his mistake, wasn't it?" I asked her. Mina shook her head. "I guess... That's his Japanese pride talking," she said.

I looked at her. Why would Ansel resign over such a minor setback? Surely there was still so much more he could do for the company. Mina smiled and stood up, walking closer towards me.

"Don't worry, Minsoo. He told me he already has something else to do. He's relentless, that guy," she said. I stared at her for a moment, but then I nodded. "I wish him well," I said. Mina nodded and smiled, walking towards the door. "Are you leaving?" I asked her. She smiled. "Yeah, I'm... I'm going to spend New Year's Eve with him. He's coming to my place now," she said, before hugging me. "Happy New Year, Minsoo. I'm excited to work with you again next year," she said. "Happy New Year, Minari. Stay safe, okay?" I whispered as I hugged back.

Mina smiled and walked to the door, leaving us. I turned and saw Sana, Jeongyeon, and Dahyun staring, evidently hearing our conversation. I understood the looks on their faces.

We all shared the same knowledge about Ansel's unfaithfulness back in Singapore, and we all knew we needed to tell Mina eventually, but for now, I thought it was best to just give Mina the space she needed. She was happy with Ansel, and after all she's been through, after all we've all been through, I thought we should allow them some time to be happy together.

I nodded and shrugged to Jeongyeon, Sana, and Dahyun. Without words, the three girls understood this, and they too nodded, before continuing their talk. I chuckled and walked up the stairs, wanting to find Jihyo.

Jihyo was outside on the deck, sipping her hot chocolate. She turned and smiled widely as she saw me, and she opened her arms wide to hug me. The night was cold, but our embrace warmed me up. I smiled as I enjoyed her warmth, thankful that his incredible, smart, beautiful woman was my lover.

"You can see the Seoul downtown fireworks at midnight from here, you know," she said after a while. I chuckled. "Really? We can watch it here later, then!" I said excitedly.

Jihyo giggled and nodded, turning her attention to the Seoul skyline. I stood beside her, and she rested her head on my shoulder.

"What do you think will happen in the new year?" she asked me softly. I looked at her. "What do you mean?" I asked her. "I mean... With the IPG, Park Manse... Moon-hyeongsa..." she said, sounding deep in thought.

I thought for a moment, but then I smiled and flung my arm around her shoulders. She looked straight into my eyes.

"I don't know, really. But I believe in the IPG. In you," I said, smiling. Jihyo chuckled and nodded. "In us," she said. "Don't forget, you'll help us too!"

I chuckled and nodded.

"As for Moon-hyeongsa... I think she's capable. If IU-unnie trusts her, we should trust her too," I said solemnly. Slowly, Jihyo nodded, then she straightened herself. "Moon-hyeongsa... Is it just me, or does she look a bit like Jeongyeon?" she said. I laughed. "She does look like Noona," I said, agreeing with her.

Jihyo chuckled, then let out a sigh. She turned to face the Seoul skyline.

"Well, whatever happens in the new year, one thing's for sure: Twice is together again," she declared proudly. I smiled and nodded. "That's the most important thing," I uttered.

We stared into the skyline for a while. Finally, Jihyo shuddered and rubbed her elbows.

"It's getting cold. Shall we head inside? I want more hot chocolate!" she said. I smiled and grabbed her hand, and we walked hand in hand back inside.

As we walked slowly down the stairs, I heard voices from downstairs. At first, I couldn't make out what it was, but the closer we got to the first floor, the clearer the sound was. I felt like I knew that sound, but I couldn't believe my ears. I did not want to believe it.

"Dubu... A–Ah..." "F–Fuck... Un... Unnie..."

I heard a loud slapping sound. What... What was that? We reached the bottom of the stairs and looked at the sofas. When I saw what happened, blood almost spurted out of my nostrils.

It was Sana, Dahyun, and Jeongyeon, but they were... Well... They were all naked, having sex. Sana was wearing a strap on dildo, kneeling behind Dahyun who was on all fours, her face buried in between Jeongyeon's crotch, busy licking and eating Jeongyeon's pussy.

Sana slammed the dildo vigorously and repeatedly into Dahyun's asshole while slapping her pale, chubby butt, making the pale girl squeal and moan with every thrust and slap while Jeongyeon was playing with her own tits using her right hand. They didn't notice us, busy in their own world of pleasure.

"W–What... H–H... How... Wh... Why?" I stuttered, shell-shocked seeing the obscene scene.

To my surprise, Jihyo laughed loudly by my side. I turned to look at her in horror, but she kept laughing, before placing her hand on my shoulder.

"This... Happens almost every time after a night of drinking and dinner together," she explained. I kept staring at her, so she continued. "You're our permanent manager now, so you should get used to it."

"Wh... Wha... B–But... Why... Why not in the room?" I asked her, dumbfounded. Jihyo laughed again, but she shook her head. "Trust me. You'll get used to it. If not them, then Nayeon and Tzuyu," she said calmly.

I turned to look at the moaning three girls again, and I started to feel my dick hardening. I had never imagined that I would ever see my idols in such a lewd situation. Sana's body was perfect; her tits were proportionally round and large, her abs toned, her hips, thighs, and butt looked meaty but firm. Dahyun was stacked all over, and I noticed how her butt jiggled deliciously everytime Sana's dildo entered it. Jeongyeon was more to the chubbier side, her belly a little bulbous and her love handles evident, but I could still see the muscles in her shoulders and arms.

I felt Jihyo's arm pulling mine, and I turned. She eyed me with naughty eyes.

"Come on. Stop watching them. Let's do it ourselves," she whispered. "W–What?"

Jihyo giggled and pulled me to her bedroom. She opened it, and immediately started kissing my lips passionately the soon we entered it. As if in a trance, I started kissing back, my hands went up, squeezing her massive tits.

We undressed each other quickly, stealing kisses after kisses while doing so. In no time, we were already in our underwear, eyeing each other. My eyes stared at her mounting cleavage, and I knew my cock was already rock hard underneath my boxer.

"Gosh... You're so beautiful, Mommy..." I whispered.

Jihyo giggled and pulled me to the bed. She pushed me to it, and I laid down obediently while she took off her panties and climbed up to straddle me. She pulled my boxer down, and my dick immediately shot up, swaying left and right. Jihyo giggled again and stooped down, ready to give me oral sex, but I stopped her.

"Mommy... Can I... Can I have some milk first?" I asked her.

Jihyo's eyes widened, but she chuckled.

"My, my, what a naughty boy..." she whispered.

I chuckled and reached back to unbuckle her bra. As it did on Christmas Eve, her tits bounced free the moment I took off her bra, and I could see milk already dripping from her plump nipples. I pulled her closer to me, before sucking her nipples deliciously, enjoying her milk.

"A–Ah... M–Minchu... D–Don't suck too hard... A–Ah..." she moaned.

I didn't listen to her. I kept sucking and sucking, drinking Jihyo's creamy milk from her breasts. Jihyo's fingers squeezed my hair, her body tensing as more and more milk squirted out from her nipples.

"M... Mmhh... M–Min... Minchuu..." she moaned loudly.

Jihyo started moving her hips, rubbing my cock against her labia. I felt a tingling sensation rushing from my cock up to my brain, but I kept sucking on Jihyo's tits. Suddenly, Jihyo tensed, and with a loud sigh, she came.

Her body slumped on top of me, but then she rolled to my side. I climbed up to straddle her, rubbing my dick head on her clit. She squirmed and jolted, enjoying the sensation.

"G–God... J–Just... Put it in, Minchu..." she begged.

I grinned, and immediately jammed my cock inside her pussy. The warm and juicy sensation filled my senses, and I started plowing my way inside her. Jihyo screamed and moaned, her milk squirting again and again from her tits with every thrust I made. I stooped down and sucked her nipples interchangeably, not wanting to waste her precious milk.

"A–Ah! M–Minchu... M–M... Min... A–Ah! Ah..."

My dick head slammed the entrance of her womb again and again, her vagina walls clasping around my shaft. I watched her enormous tits bouncing deliciously up and down as I pummeled her, spraying milk here and there. I couldn't hold back much longer. I felt like I almost reached my climax, but I still wanted to continue. Jihyo noticed this, shaking her head. I understood her, so I quickly pulled out, jerking it off rapidly.

"J–Ji... J–Jihyo... M–Mommy!"

I came hard, spurting my cum onto her breasts, painting it white. Jihyo panted, still feeling the sensation of my cock inside her pussy. I slumped next to her, but she evidently wasn't satisfied yet. Honestly, I wanted more too.

She brought up her tits and breastfed me, and as soon as her milk entered my system, my dick shot back up. I stared at it in surprise, while Jihyo giggled.

"Still works wonders, right?" she uttered. I laughed and nodded. "I... I want to..." I said, looking at her, gesturing with my hands around my chest.

Jihyo laughed and kissed my lips.

"Of course you do," she said, reading my thoughts.

I sat up, and Jihyo knelt by the bedside in front of me. She grabbed my cock and slapped it on her tits, making them bounce and jiggle, before playing it around her nipples, wetting my cock with her milk. She placed my cock in between her tits, and she pressed them together, wrapping my cock, before moving her tits up and down slowly. I closed my eyes. This was by far the best sexual act anyone could ever do to me. A moment later, I was proved wrong.

I felt a strange sensation on my dick head, so I looked down. Jihyo had opened her mouth and stuck her tongue out, letting her saliva drip to my cock and her breasts. She licked my dickhead everytime it came out of her cleavage, adding so much pleasure to the already extremely good tittyfucking she performed.

I felt my mind go blank, my head dizzy. I reached for Jihyo's head, grabbing it with both of my hands. Jihyo let go of her tits and instead went in for a full blowjob, sucking my dick vigorously. The slurping sound of her mouth filled the room, arousing me even further.

"A–Ah... J–Jihyo... J... Jihyo... I'm... I–I... Sh... Shit!"

I couldn't resist. I came buckets and buckets inside her mouth, filling her throat. She pulled back, and my cum landed on her beautiful face again and again.

I fell back to the bed, panting and gasping for air. I felt like my life was sucked out of me with every semen I shot onto her face. Jihyo crept beside me, kissing my cheek.

I smiled, turning to look at her, wanting to kiss her lips lovingly, but at the same time the corner of my eye picked up something from the door. I felt my heart stop. Jihyo noticed the same thing, and slowly, we both turned to look at the door with horror.

"Wow... That was some hot shit..." said Momo.

Momo, Chaeyoung, Dahyun, Sana, and Jeongyeon were standing by the door. They were all giggling and staring at Jihyo and me naughtily. I realised then that both Jihyo and I didn't lock the door when we entered. I felt colours leave my face. Hang on. How long had they been there? Did they watch the entire thing?

"G–Girls! W–What the fuck!" protested Jihyo, pulling a blanket to cover her naked body. "Come on, Unnie... What are you trying to hide?" said Dahyun exasperatedly. "Your face is covered in Minsoo-Oppa's cum," said Chaeyoung, grinning mischievously. Jihyo's face turned cherry red almost in a flash. "You were moaning so loudly, we couldn't even concentrate on having sex," said Sana, giggling. "Woo-hoo! Nice moves, Little Bro!" exclaimed Jeongyeon.

The girls entered the room and walked towards us slowly, eyeing us with lust. Sana, Dahyun, and Jeongyeon were all still naked. They climbed the bed, while Momo and Chaeyoung started stripping.

"Ya! Ya! Girls! Wh–What... What are you doing?" Jihyo asked panickedly. "Joining you," said Momo casually.

Jihyo's eyes widened. She was about to protest, but suddenly she moaned. Chaeyoung had sucked on her right breast.

"I want milk..." she whispered with her mouth full.

Dahyun started sucking Jihyo's left breast, making the Twice leader jolted and squirmed, unable to speak. The two maknaes sucked Jihyo's milk deliciously. I watched them with my mouth open, but my dick was rock hard again. Jeongyeon sat next to me and giggled.

"Next time, don't forget to lock the door," she whispered, and with that, she pulled me for a kiss.

This was the second person I ever kissed in my entire life, and somehow, the moment Jeongyeon kissed me, I felt at ease. She kissed me gently and softly, unlike her usual brash and loud attitude. Her lips were thin and delicious, and after a while, she let go, smiling at me.

I panted for breath, looking at Jihyo, who was also gasping and panting. She had just reached another climax after Dahyun and Chaeyoung sucked her tits, and we stared at each other blankly. Momo sat on the bed and stared at Jihyo.

"So? Can we join you?" she asked her. "After all, Minsoo-oppa's our manager, we need to take care of him together," said Dahyun. "Don't worry. We won't break him," said Sana. "B–Break me?" I stuttered in fear. "Don't tell me you don't want us to pleasure you too, Jihyo," said Jeongyeon, winking towards Jihyo. "Oh she just came after we drank her milk," said Chaeyoung, nodding at Dahyun.

Jihyo looked at her members, looking both shocked and embarrassed. The members kept staring at her intently, until finally, she relented.

"Alright, fine! B–But... He can only penetrate me, okay?" she stated her condition, her face blushing red.

The girls cheered and clapped, and somehow I felt both aroused and confused. Hang on. Was I... Was I really about to have an orgy with these gorgeous girls?

"Don't worry, Jihyo... I can't do much with this stupid sling, and I don't like dicks anyway. I'll just sit here on the bed and kiss him," said Jeongyeon. "Wait 'till drunk Nabong is around, though..." uttered Sana. Jihyo glared at her. "Ya!" Jihyo complained, but eventually she chuckled.

Jeongyeon kissed my cheek and pulled me to the head of the bed, resting my head on her shoulder, kissing my forehead lovingly. Jihyo sat next to me, and I saw Sana climbed the bed and straddled Jihyo, who chuckled and kissed my bias passionately. Shit. These girls were wild!

I looked down, and saw Momo, Chaeyoung, and Dahyun surrounding my dick. The two maknaes started jerking my shaft, while Momo licked my balls with her tongue. I wanted to close my eyes to enjoy the sensation, but I found myself staring at the three girls. This was even better than my wildest dreams.

Momo started slobbering my cock head, while Dahyun and Chaeyoung sucked and licked my shaft. I jolted and squirmed, unable to handle this triple blowjob I received from the Twice members. Jeongyeon noticed this and pulled my chin up, stooping down to kiss my lips again, calming me.

"Mm... Mhh... A–Ah... Sa... Sana..."

I turned to my right, looking at Sana, who was busy fingering Jihyo while sucking her tits. Jihyo squirmed and moaned, before turning to look at me. Sweat dripped from her face, and she looked elated. She reached to grab my hand, and hand-in-hand, we enjoyed the pleasures given to us by the members.

I looked down. Momo had switched places with Chaeyoung now, who sucked my cock deliciously, my penis going balls deep into her throat. Dahyun kept licking my balls together with Momo, and a few seconds later she swapped places with Chaeyoung too. I felt dizzy, numb, and confused all at the same time, and I knew I was about to reach my climax. Jeongyeon noticed this.

"He's cumming," she announced to the girls.

Dahyun released my cock from her mouth and together with Momo and Chaeyoung she started jerking me off. I couldn't hold back.

"F–F... Fuck... FUCK! G–Girls!"

My body tensed, and I came hard, spurting my cum on the girls' faces. They opened their mouths wide and closed their eyes, enjoying the shower of white liquid that kept shooting out of my cock. It was starting to hurt now after being forced to cum three times in a row.

I slumped back to the bed, and Jeongyeon kissed my lips again, bringing my heart rate back to normal. I felt spent, unable to go again. Momo, Chaeyoung, and Dahyun giggled and wiped the cum from their faces, looking satisfied. I heard Jihyo screaming from my side, and I knew Sana had sent her to another summit.

Jihyo slumped next to me, panting and gasping. Sana looked at me, her eyes looking like a predator, but she smiled cutely. Shit. What was she about to do? I heard Jeongyeon chuckling next to me.

"Oh, here comes the legendary Sana blowjob," she said. "L–Legendary... Sana... Blowjob?" I asked in confusion.

Jeongyeon nodded and chuckled, rubbing my hair. Sana giggled and positioned herself in front of my limp dick, grabbing it softly in her hand. She looked up to Jihyo.

"Jihyo, I might need some help down here," she said sweetly.

Still panting for breath, Jihyo understood her. She reached for my head and pulled it to her tits, breastfeeding me again. As always, my dick shot up to its full strength instantly, and Sana giggled.

"Gomawo, Jihyo!" she exclaimed, before staring into my eyes. "S–Sha?" I asked her in confusion. She smiled. "You might want to grab onto something, Minsoo-ya," she said. "Don't worry, we got him," said Jihyo, nodding to Jeongyeon.

I was totally confused, but Jeongyeon flung her arms across my shoulders and Jihyo grabbed my hand, nodding to offer me assurance. I looked back at Sana, who smiled and winked at me. She opened her mouth wide, and very slowly, she started putting my cock inside her mouth.

"Oh shit, here it comes," squealed Dahyun, watching us expectantly.

I felt the warmth of Sana's oral cavity engulfing my dick. Her tongue felt so soft underneath my shaft, and she moved her head very slowly forward, letting me feel every single sensation on my dick. My eyes rolled back to my head. Sana's head kept moving forward, and I felt my cock reaching her throat.

I looked down, and I saw Sana's eyes locked into mine. She winked once, and suddenly, I felt something like an electricity current surging all over my body, from the penis all the way to the top of my head and my toenails. Jeongyeon hugged my shoulders tighter and Jihyo squeezed my hand, but my body shook violently. What was happening?

Sana hadn't even moved her head, but I could see her throat muscles tightening and relaxing in a very quick succession. I felt her throat clasping around my shaft. My limbs tensed and lost integrity at the same time, and my vision went blurry. I felt like I had lost my mind.

"H–H... Aa... H–A... nnh... A–Aa... Hh..."

It took me a second to recognise that it was me who was wailing. My voice sounded weird and far away, like it had not come from my mouth. It took me a few more seconds to realise that my mouth was wide open. What was happening?

I looked down, and I saw Sana still had not moved her head. I felt my head spinning, and I felt Jeongyeon and Jihyo's grips on my shoulder and hand tightening. My body tensed. I let out a weird scream, and then I felt like something exploded out of my body.

I could feel every single shot of cum coming out of my penis into Sana's throat, who kept my penis locked inside it. After what felt like an eternity, Sana pulled back, gasping for air. Shit. She held her breath the entire time? I kept cumming and cumming, shooting thick white liquid onto Sana's face, covering it. She giggled and kept her eyes closed, until finally I stopped cumming.

"Woah... Daebak... Works every single time," said Dahyun in amazement.

I heard Jihyo and Jeongyeon giggling. They kissed both of my cheeks, and I felt stunned. I had never cum like that before. How did Sana do it? My eyes were so heavy, and I felt sleepy all of a sudden.

"Shit, he's going to faint," said Chaeyoung.

I felt something creamy wetting my mouth, and a second later I jolted up. Jihyo had just breastfed me again. I stared at her blankly, who laughed and kissed my lips.

"Sana was that good, huh?" she asked me, giggling. "I–I... Huh? W–What... What... How?" I asked her, feeling totally confused.

Jihyo laughed again and kissed my lips. She turned to look at Sana, who was wiping my cum off her face. She giggled.

"Sorry, Minsoo... I very rarely do that to boys, but when I do... Somehow the boys always... Well... Always exploded like that," she said cutely.

I stared at her, dumbfounded, not fully understanding what she was saying. I opened my mouth to speak, but at that moment I heard a loud bang, and the room was suddenly filled with colours.

"Oh! It's the fireworks!" exclaimed Chaeyoung.

She stood, wore her clothes, and rushed outside, Dahyun and Momo following her steps. Sana giggled and pulled Nayeon's sweater from the nearby chair, wearing it before walking outside. Jeongyeon stood and kissed my forehead again. She took a robe from Tzuyu's bed and wore it before smiling at me.

"Come on, Little Bro! It's New Year already!" she exclaimed happily, before walking out.

I turned at Jihyo, who stared at me lovingly. She leaned in for a kiss, and when our lips touched, finally I felt at ease again.

"I love you so much, Minchu," she whispered. I chuckled. "I love you too, Jihyo," I replied.

We kissed for a few more moments, then we stood up and got dressed. We walked outside together. The living room was empty, but I heard the girls laughing upstairs. I saw Sana's phone vibrate on the sofa. Someone must be calling her, but for that moment, I didn't care, and by the looks of it, Sana didn't care either, for she was usually inseparable from her phone. Jihyo and I walked hand in hand upstairs, and found the girls on the second floor deck. We joined them, braving the chilling winter midnight.

The fireworks were blasting beautifully, lighting up the night sky with its vibrant colours. I smiled as I watched the show hand in hand with Jihyo, but soon I felt Jeongyeon's right arm flinging around my shoulders again.

"Happy New Year, Little Bro!" she said, smiling wide. "Happy New Year, Manager-nim!" exclaimed Sana, who was hugging Jeongyeon's waist. "Happy New Year, Minsoo-Oppa! Happy New Year Unnies!" said Dahyun happily, standing next to Sana. "Happy New Year everyone!" shouted Momo, hugging Jihyo. "Happy New Year, Twice! Woo-hoo!" yelled Chaeyoung, who was hugging Momo.

Jihyo giggled and looked into my eyes. She smiled and kissed my cheek.

"Happy New Year, Minchu," she whispered.

I smiled happily. I started the month as a lifelong Once, feeling like I had landed my dream job by entering JYPE, and somehow, I ended the month as Twice's new permanent manager, having Jihyo as my girlfriend, and spending New Year's Eve surrounded by the people I love the most in the world. I wouldn't trade this moment with anything else in the world.

I even managed to convince all of them to renew their contracts in JYPE, and more important than that, together with the IPG, I had managed to repair their broken relationship. Twice was whole and one, and even now, with Tzuyu and Nayeon at the hospital by Chuyoung's side and Mina spending the night with Ansel, I knew for a fact that their hearts were united. For that, I was eternally grateful.

"Happy New Year, everyone..." I said happily.

An idea came to my mind. I looked at everyone, and somehow, I knew they understood what I was about to do. I took a deep breath.

"ONE IN A MILLION..." I shouted. "TWICE!" the girls yelled in unison, before cheering happily.
