“Hey, Nia?  How would you feel about starting training with your replacement tomorrow?”

“Tomorrow?  You found someone already?”

“Yeah.  He was the first person I interviewed who actually sounded excited, honestly.”

“Don’t tell me that’s why you hired him.”

Taehyung laughed. “Oh, no.  His résumé looked great.  Perfect for the job.” He paused. “You know, I am going to miss having you in here with me.”

“I’m gonna miss working with you too,” Nia frowned. “But Sua’s going to need all the help she can get, and we don’t need the money I make.” She shrugged. “And besides, I’d be quitting as soon as we have a kid anyways.”

“Which will be soon, hopefully,” Taehyung teased, leaning over her desk to peck her on the lips.

“Chill.  We still have a week until we get married,” Nia laughed.

Taehyung groaned. “Don’t remind me.  It’s so far away!”

Nia laughed again and slapped his shoulder. “Get back to work.  I’ve gotta get ready to train your new secretary tomorrow.”

Moon walked into the studio that afternoon.  She was shooting a commercial today.  She’d talked her manager into getting her this one specific brand deal.  She’d seen an opportunity, and she’d jumped on it.  Now she just had to figure out where she was supposed to be.

“Hey!  You’re Moon, right?”

Moon spun around to see a tall man jogging towards her.

“That would be me.  You’re Seok Jin?”

“Oh, please, just call me Jin,” he smiled, holding his hand out to her.

“Ok, Jin.  It’s nice to meet you.”

“You as well.  When the producer told me we were doing a commercial, I was surprised.  I’d never really thought I’d be in a commercial.  Well, at least not as Stardust.”

Moon laughed. “Well, I suppose having a crossover between animated characters and real people isn’t something that happens a lot in commercials.”

“It really doesn’t.  I feel like having a character from a children’s show in a commercial is even weirder, though.”

“How’d you get into voice acting?” Moon asked.

“Um…it’s kinda a long story.  I got a job at a producing studio down in Busan and they liked my voice so much that they asked me to voice one of the cameo characters in an episode of Daegu Ducklings.  I had fun, and my boss mentioned there were auditions for a new show up here.  I actually originally auditioned to play Moonglow, but they asked me if I’d like the role of Stardust instead.”

“Oh, wow!  That’s crazy awesome!”

“I guess so,” Jin chuckled.

“Do you enjoy it still?”

“Kind of.  Being here again reminds me of something I regret, though.”

“Oh, that stinks.”

“It really does,” he laughed bitterly. “But you can’t unmake mistakes, right?”

Moon looked up at him.  Was he referring to his breakup with Hyuna?
