"I asked if you had your styling kit ready for the trip," Manager Park repeated patiently.
"Oh. Yes. Completely packed and ready to go."
"Good. Everyone else good to go? Any last-minute issues?"
Nods around the table.
"Alright then. Get good rest tonight. Tomorrow's going to be a very long day."
They filed out slowly. Soorin hung back, pulling out her phone with shaking fingers.

[Looking forward to Tokyo. We should talk before the premiere. There's something you should know about the situation. -Yura]
Her thumb hovered over the reply button.
Then Haejin was next to her, appearing like he'd materialized. "You okay?"
She quickly locked her phone. "Yeah. Fine."
"You've been quiet all meeting. That's not like you."
"Just thinking about everything we need to do."
He studied her face carefully. "You're nervous."
"A little bit."
"Me too, if I'm being honest."
