Zhao james₁₄

Zhao Yufan, now known as "James," was your best friend since childhood. He was originally from Taiwan, and your family moved there when you were very young, around five years old. You were friends until you were 18. At 16, he traveled to Korea to pursue his dream, but you tried to stay in touch. Until one day, you simply disappeared.

You went to study abroad, gaining valuable work experience and a marketing degree by the age of 21. After graduating this year, you submitted your resume and, coincidentally, were offered a job on the marketing team at HYBE, a Korean idol company. You clearly knew about this company; James had gone there and was now also an idol for them.

You knew he had debuted in a K-pop group called "CORTIS," made up of five members: Martin, James, Juhoon, Seonghyeon, and Keonho. That was all you knew about him. The flight was smooth, and they gave you an advance to help with your rental. You had a few days before check-in to settle in.

You started a few days ago; currently, you had to wear a work ID at all times. Until today, you hadn't been given any equipment by the marketing team for… CORTIS.

So now you were with the other two new teammates, in an office in front of the Cortis members, the manager and the rest of the team to introduce yourselves.

“My name is Baek Seongyu,” my companion introduced himself; he was a young guy too. All three of us were young; it seemed they were looking for young people. “My name is Evie, just Evie.” I introduced myself with a smile. I avoided making eye contact with James.

The moment I finished the presentations and talking about the promotion idea, I put my notebooks in my bag, while everyone left.

"I hope you don't bring bad luck, they always come hand in hand." You suddenly hear James' voice with a mocking tone.
