"Oh, come on!" Jay exclaimed. "Hear me out on this!"
Akira squinted up at him. "Why are you even our manager when you're already the CEO? Doesn't the company have other staff?"
Jay's smile grew. "Because, Akira, I can't trust anyone else with our most precious asset. I love EVE more than anything else!"
"We're not taking any more schedules until after the PAPA awards," June said.
"We agreed to focus on this performance. Besides, I just filmed Crawling Man a week ago!"
Jay held up his hands, looking both amused and slightly exasperated. "I know, I know! I wanted that, too. But trust me, this is one opportunity you can't refuse."
The boys were clearly unconvinced. Akira let out an exaggerated sigh, slumping against the mirrored wall. "Do you know how much energy I have left? Zero. And I need at least ten percent of it for the big stage."
Jisung clapped his hands together in what seemed to be a pleading gesture.
