As the boys leaned back, they looked at PD-nim, and Woozi asked, "PD-nim, why didn't you tell us beforehand that you were visiting us, huh?"
He laughed and said, "Woozi, I informed your manager. He should've told you, right?"
The boys turned to Zheng, who was smiling sheepishly. He walked toward them with a grin and said, "Boys, I wanted to give you a surprise, so I didn't say he was coming."
The boys chorused, "Zheng~~ you…" and they all laughed. Zheng and PD-nim chuckled.
PD-nim said, "Boys, sit down. Let's start the meeting, and after that we can talk freely."
The boys looked at him, then hugged him again and jumped around like kids. PD-nim got flustered—at that moment, he looked like a fangirl.
Once they settled into their seats, PD-nim, the manager, and the boys were all in the room.
"Boys, today's meeting is about the upcoming GOSE," PD-nim said.
The boys' faces lit up, and they clapped joyfully. Scoups asked, "When will we go for shooting, PD-nim? We're really excited to go with you!"
PD-nim chuckled and said, "Scoups, I'm also eagerly waiting for that day. Once we finalize the location, we'll head there and stay together—we'll enjoy it."
The boys laughed and nodded. The meeting continued for an hour.
PD-nim said, "This is what I've planned for now. If you have any ideas, you can share them—or if you're okay with it, we'll go with this."
The boys nodded, and Jeonghan said, "PD-nim, we trust your choice. You know how much we enjoyed the Nana Tour, right?"
The boys said in unison, "Yeah~~!"
DK added, "I'll never forget that tour, PD-nim. The games you conducted—we really enjoyed it."
Wonwoo said, "Yeah, when we saw DK and Minghao apply tomato on their faces for the talent challenge, we lost it."
Minghao laughed. "Wonwoo, I really hesitated, but DK rushed me to do it!"
DK grinned. "Minghao, you looked like a tomato that day!"
PD-nim laughed. "We also enjoyed it, boys. For the next Nana Tour, we've planned a lot. I think you'll love it."
The boys were shocked.
Jun asked, "Then, PD-nim~ when will you do the next Nana Tour?"
PD-nim covered his mouth with a playful smile and shook his head.
Jun pouted. "PD-nim~~ don't make us curious. Just say it!"
PD-nim chuckled. "No, it's a secret. After GOSE finishes, I'll tell you."
The boys gave him annoyed looks.
Boo said, "Then PD-nim, are you free? Let's have lunch!"
PD-nim smiled. "Thanks for the invite, Boo, but I have shoots lined up. Even for this meeting, I paused my schedule just to come here."
The boys said in unison, "Awww~!"
PD-nim got flustered and stood up. "Then boys, I'll leave now. Let's meet again soon."
The boys stood up, bowed, and waved at him.
PD-nim paused, leaned in toward DK and Minghao, and whispered, "I heard you two are in love~"
The boys nodded while DK and Minghao blushed brightly.
DK said, "Yeah, PD-nim, we are in love."
Minghao asked, "How did you know? We didn't even tell anyone!"
PD-nim looked at Zheng with a smirk. "Your manager told me. And when I heard it, I was proud. You boys have matured—and you're taking care of your loved ones."
Mingyu added, "The girls are really good. They care for us."
Hoshi said, "They even cook for us," and showed his bracelet. "The girls gave us these."
PD-nim smiled as he looked at the bracelet. "DK, Minghao, from what I've heard from Zheng and the members, the girls must really love you."
DK and Minghao looked like proud boyfriends as they beamed.
PD-nim patted their shoulders and joked, "Guys, when you get married, invite me!"
DK and Minghao got flustered but nodded shamelessly.
Zheng and the rest of the boys were fangirling over them.
After PD-nim left, the boys sat back down, feeling happy.
Dino turned to Zheng and asked, "Zheng, what else are you hiding? Just say it—we can't handle more surprises!"
Zheng laughed. "Dino~ I'm not hiding anything else. I promise."
The boys glared at him like he owed them money.
Zheng chuckled. "Trust me! Now, boys, you have to prepare for an interview. Tomorrow at 11 a.m., you'll be giving one."
The boys groaned.
Hoshi asked, "Zheng, we just arrived—and now an interview?"
Zheng shrugged. "What can we do? It's your last schedule. After this…"
He paused dramatically.
"…you can visit the girls. No one will stop you after the interview."
The boys cleared their throats and looked away.
DK nodded. "Mm~ then we'll do the interview. But Zheng, after that, don't call us and say there's a new schedule, okay?"
Zheng laughed and nodded.

Meanwhile, back at the girls' office, they were busy with an upcoming interview shoot. They were arranging the set, adjusting the background, and preparing photos of every K-pop group.
Their chief and head were doing rounds. When they saw the girls working diligently—testing and aligning every detail—the chief stopped and stared.
"I'm really proud," he said. "These girls are giving their best. We shouldn't let them go—they're gems."
Their head smiled proudly. "Chief, they haven't even gone home for two days. They've been reviewing files nonstop."
The chief looked at her in disbelief. "Then, as their head, you should give them a day off!"
She nodded with a smile.
