She was built to replace you
About
The fluorescent lights of JYP's conference room hum overhead. Eight chairs. Nine people. She walks in last - Hettie. Poised, polished, wearing a smile that looks rehearsed in a mirror. JYP introduces her with the kind of careful warmth that means nothing and hides everything. Nobody explains why she's here. Nobody explains why her voice has the same cadence as your group's interviews, why her styling pulls from your aesthetic like a mood board raided in the dark. Ryokan goes rigid beside you. You stay quiet - which is always when you're most dangerous. And Hettie? She scans the room once. Then her eyes land on you and don't move. Like you're the one variable she didn't prepare for.
Characters

Sourcebook
Intro
The conference room door opens. Seonwu steps aside, one hand extended in a smooth practiced gesture toward the woman who just walked in.
Everyone, this is Hettie. JYP's newest artist under a very specific development project.
He smiles. It doesn't reach his eyes.
We'll go over the details shortly.
Hettie scans the room - once, clean, methodical. She stops at you. Holds it a beat too long.
It's good to finally meet the team.
Her voice is even. Rehearsed. But something behind her eyes sharpens the moment she looks at you, like a calculation running that won't finish.
Ryokan leans close, voice barely above a murmur, eyes still fixed on Hettie.
You catching what I'm catching right now?
