The meeting room at the hotel was tense.
Manager Park stood at the front.
Looking stressed and tired.
LUMEN's members sat in chairs.
Doyun looked annoyed. Minjae worried.
Taekyung bored. Jisoo confused.
Haejin just looked blank.
Staff members lined the walls.
Stylists. Managers. Coordinators.
Soorin stood near the back.
Arms crossed.
Ready.
Manager Park cleared his throat.
"Thank you all for coming. As you know, there's been an incident."
"Incident?" Doyun snorted. "That's one way to put it."
"RYU." Manager Park's tone was warning.
Doyun shrugged but stayed quiet.
"A photo has surfaced. Showing a member of our staff entering Haejin's hotel room late at night."
Murmurs rippled through the room.
"This photo has caused speculation. Rumors. And unfortunately, it's reached Yura."
More murmurs.
"She's landing shortly. She'll be joining us for tonight's showcase and the remainder of the Vegas schedule."
"As what?" Taekyung asked. "Moral support or firing squad?"
