“You’ll be where?” shouts Nari as Dal plays a street racing game on his console.

“In Seoul this Saturday!” replies Zig. “Max, Steve, Joan and I are visiting an AI Voice Tech company in Seoul, and Steve wants to meet up with you guys as well. I know it’s all a bit short notice,” replies Zig.

“No! That’s cool!” says Nari. “Let me know your times, and we’ll pick you up from the airport,” she adds, getting distracted.

“I’ll tell you some intel about Joan when we visit!” says Zig. “And Yeah! I’ll check with Judy about our flight times. See you guys soon.

Bye!” adds Zig before hanging up.

Friday morning, Zig and Max leave their apartment to meet Ray, Steve, and Joan standing in the car park of their apartment block.

“Hi, guys!” says Zig, as she and Max greet everyone while loading their luggage into the trunk of Ray’s car before everyone gets in.

“All set, guys?” says Ray, starting his engine and indicating before pulling out of the car park to head for the airport.

Everyone answers Ray in various forms of agreement because there’s a lot of holiday excitement in the air.

Zig and the guys catch their flight and fly through the night, landing at Seoul Airport on Saturday morning to find Nari and Dal waiting for them as they clear customs.

“Zig!” shouts Nari, making two people standing close to her jump.

Zig and Max shuffle as fast as they can, wheeling their suitcases between people as they head for Nari and Dal to greet each other with big hugs, handshakes and more because it’s been a while since they met.

Steve and Joan join the happy group, and the hugs and handshakes start again before all six guys leave for their journey to Nari and Dal’s apartment and Steve and Joan’s hotel.

As the guys travel, Dal makes arrangements with Steve and Joan to meet later that evening before dropping them off at their hotel.

“Hi Steve, Joan. Come in!” says Nari, answering her door on Sunday afternoon.

Steve and Joan get comfortable on the couple’s sofa, as Nari, Dal, Zig, and Max do the same on other comfy furniture.

“Nari, Dal, it’s great to see you guys again. I know we had a PippsApp call last Thursday. But I always prefer face-to-face meetings,” says Steve.

“Yeah!” agrees Dal. “I’m an old-school face-to-face kind of guy as well,” he adds, making all the guys smile.

“Tell them? Tell them!” shouts Zig, clapping softly and focusing everyone’s attention on Steve.

“Ha!” chuckles Steve at Zig’s excitement.

“Nari, Dal, would you like to accompany me, Zig, Max and Joan tomorrow morning to an important meeting here in Seoul?” asks Steve, looking at the guys.

Nari sits back in her chair.

“Where and who is this meeting with?” asks Nari as her curiosity grows.

“You’re gonna like this?” says Max, short and sweet.

“T.VODO?” says Steve, not saying another word as silence fills the air.

“Ji-Min?” says Dal.

“The very man!” answers Steve, smiling at Dal.

“Wow! T.VODO. Technology Voice On Demand Organisation!” says Nari, knowing a little about the company.

“Something big, I presume?” she adds
