Clockwork

Sugar & Spice is packed to capacity for a mini-concert from some of the hottest Korean Rnb artists. While Xia was out, Junie took the initiative to put on a star-packed show, and because of the names on the show, they had raised entry prices. Xia trusted Junie to handle all of the details and make things easier for her.

Her staff took care of decorations and planned a dark theme because tonight, they would have a dance floor in the middle of the club. The set up would be different compared to their usual tables and chairs. Jaebeom took care of the social media marketing, and Xia wanted to help, but he wouldn't let her. It felt good for her team to support her, and she just checked in with everyone.

Xia walked around the club and greeted everyone as she usually does. Everyone couldn't help but shower her with love because everyone missed seeing her at the club. She really can light up the entire club and she is a great asset.

She stopped to see the staff even included a VIP section tonight. Of course, she had to see who paid VIP prices tonight. She stepped up to the VIP section and immediately saw Jackson and Jinyoung.

"Xia!" Jackson jumped out of his seat and pulled her into a hug. He lifted her hand to admire her dress. "You look beautiful tonight. Tonight is going to be lit," Jackson had so much enthusiasm in his voice. Maybe she should have hired him as the MC for tonight's event. He definitely has a personable personality, and tons of energy.

"Thank you, Jackson," she smiled at him. She quickly scanned his table to see if they had drinks and food yet. She noticed they were taking care of, so that's a good thing. "Do you need anything else?" Xia knows it's not her role to serve anymore, but it's a habit to make sure everyone is okay.

"Xia, we are fine. But, thank you so much for checking on us," Jackson hugged her again and returned to his seat.

"Hi, Xia. It's nice to see you again," Jinyoung had a sparkle in his eye. Before, she didn't pay any attention to him, but tonight for whatever reason, he's looking good to her. She had to remind herself that she's with Jaebeom again, so she can't entertain anyone else.

"Nice to see you as well," she switched back to Korean to talk with Jinyoung. For a moment, either party didn't say anything, and it became a little awkward. Usually, Xia is good at making small talk, but nothing is coming to mind. Maybe it's the way Jinyoung is staring at her.

"Sorry, I am shy," Jinyoung dropped his head and started nervously laughing. He took a sip of his drink, and Xia thought it's cute that he's getting all flustered just talking to her. She doesn't remember him being like this last time.

"Awww.. Jinyoungie has a crush," Jackson teased him.

The way Jinyoung blushed meant that he still is interested in getting to know her. This whole situation actually brightened her day because this man could have any woman in the world, but he's acting shy around her. That's when she heard a familiar voice behind her.

"Good evening, everyone," Chan's voice echoed behind her, and she turned around to see him. Now, things are really going to get awkward. She grinned at him, but she wasn't sure what to say to him. Chan walked behind her and sat next to Jinyoung.

"Hey, Bangchan. I am not sure we have formally met, but I am Jackson Wang from China," Jackson said in English.

"Nice to meet you. I guess you already know me, but you can call me Chris. I am from Australia," Chan said.

"Korean, please," Jinyoung said in English, but it was so cute the way he said it.

"Sorry, so.. are you performing tonight?" Jackson switched back to Korean.
