Captured: A Blank CD

Jackson went out of his car with his hand massaging his temple.

He's been sleep deprived lately because of his producer who's been pressuring him to finish his upcoming album.

He's too busy that he couldn't even go out with his friends nor find someone to be romantically involved with.

Unlike his friend Namjoon who seemed to be having a love interest these days, Jackson's love life is a whooping zero.

As he trudge inside the Hybe building, he passed by the conference room where he saw a group of aspirants.

Jackson didn't pay much attention to them as he looked for PD Bang in his office to have his music checked for improvements or revisions.

He didn't knock nor announce his arrival as he opened the door to his producer's office and saw the man having a discussion with his team.

"Hey, PD-nim." Jackson greeted, making his way to the older's table.

He nodded at the other people in the room as a greeting before placing his music drive on the table.

"This is from last time." Jackson said which earned a nod from PD Bang.

"I'll look at it later." PD Bang uttered, dismissing Jackson who didn't leave and just stared at the papers and profiles the older was holding.

"Looking for new artists?" Jackson asked.

"Yeah. Someone who won't make my head hurt." PD Bang responded which made Jackson grin.

"Good luck with that." He whispered as he finally took his leave.

"See ya around, PD-nim." He said before closing the door behind.

He made his way out of the building, passing by the room where the aspirants were waiting.

He was about to come inside when the door opened and a man hurriedly rushed out, bumping to him in a harsh impact.

"What the-!" Jackson glared at the man who was already walking out of the building.

"Rude." He murmured afterwards.

He took a step inside the room when he noticed a CD case on the floor and almost stepped on it.

Curious, Jackson picked it up and asked the people in the room for the owner, but no one claimed it.

"Don't tell me.." Realization finally hit him as he ran after the rude guy who didn't even say sorry after bumping to him.

He was able to see the guy walking from across the street.

Jackson ran after him and was able to caught the man by his shoulder.

"Hey..." Jackson huffed for air as the man turned to face him.

He looked surprised and at the same time confused as he stared at Jackson.

"You dropped this." Jackson said, handing the CD to the other.

He saw the shock on his face as he took the CD from him in a snap.

"Thanks." The man said, now looking at the item.

"Aren't you going to audition in Hybe?" Jackson asked, curious as to why this man suddenly decided to run even before the screening started.

"I'm not... It's nothing but a blank CD." The man said before bowing a little.

He took a turn and went back to walking even before Jackson could say something.

"Who would go to an audition with a blank CD?" Jackson whispered to himself, totally weirded out by the said man.

He saw him drop the CD on the trash bin before turning to the corner of the street and disappearing from Jackson's sight.
