"Is that seat taken?"

Jiwon looked up to see a scrawny middle school student wearing an expensive uniform. The boy looked barely fourteen and was no doubt from a rich family. His uniform belonged to an elite private school and he had the hint of a pampered young boy.

Ash and Jinhyun were in the next room, learning new dance moves while Jiwon was assigned to the vocal section to improve his singing skills. He was a good rapper but his singing was still below average so CEO Ahn had put him there until his vocals improved.

"Hyung, are you new here?" the kid asked.

"No," Jiwon simply replied.
