“That won’t do.” You don’t think there’s a point in making Emily uncomfortable. “Let’s go to Clutz’s changing room. It was as close to a soundproof room as we’re gonna get here.”
“B-But I don’t want to keep you away from the stage.” Emily prioritizes the date over her well-being.
“C’mon, you’re more important than one stupid concert. Let’s go!” You grab the insecure dancing girl’s hand and take her out of here!
You have no idea how you found your way back to the Vortexia’s changing room, but you did. An ocean of hallways can’t deter you from helping a cute girl! Security tried to stop you from entering —because this isn’t the time for VIP guests to be roaming around the place— but you explained who you are and they STILL didn’t let you in, until Vortexia confirmed it. Your Clutz is clutch! She must’ve felt that you two made a difference earlier to agree to have you in now.
“You did great, Clutz!” You exclaim with exuberance!
“It was truly breathtaking. I can’t wait to see what you have prepared for a full concert.” Emily nods. “I’m looking forward to working full-time alongside you.”
“And that ending was hilarious.” You hope it doesn’t get her too many enemies.
“It must’ve caused quite the stir.” Emily thinks this controversy will need positive results.
“Thank you, thank you. That was the plan all along… Now your heart belongs to me.” Vortexia haughtily giggles. “Can you tell me now why she’s dancing? HMM?!”
“I wouldn’t call this dancing, haha…” Emily is still moving those hips, but it’s not even a fraction as bad as it is outside of here. The music is at most distant background noise.
“Please, inform YUNG-P of that.” Vortexia knows the enemy as she chuckles at her own joke.
“Do you have noise canceling headphones?” You ask. You swear you saw a pair before!
“On the table, why?” Vortexia hands them over.
“Here.” You put them on Emily’s head.
Your date immediately collapses into your arms from exhaustion…
“S-Sorry… My legs gave up.” Emily is filled with guilt.
“Sit here, now.” Vortexia gives her chair to Emily! Your poor date is a little disoriented with those headphones, but you two push her to the spot. “Now an explanation isn’t optional, it’s necessary! Start talking, and it better make sense.”
You’ve gained some of Vortexia’s trust, now it’s time to get to the final base!
