A Job With Him

Love Is Life's Biggest Influencer

Josh and I walked hand in hand as we reached my dorm. I updated him on everything that happened ever since I came to Korea and I could see the sincere joy in his eyes. I really wanted to see his whole face again but he had to cover up after we kissed to prevent another scandal from occurring. But, is it really that bad for us to tell everyone that we were dating? I knew that I was being selfish for thinking like this since letting the news out would cause harm to both of our careers. But this feeling of insecurity just kept lingering in my mind.

Upon reaching the entrance to the company dorms, "Amber!" I turned to see Baekhyun walking over to me while waving. I greeted him politely and asked what he was doing here.

"Well, I came to give this back to you as you left it in the recording room and thought it was important. But even if I wasn't, why? Can't I see my beautiful mentee?" I giggled at his words as I took my wallet from him but then realised Josh was behind me when he coughed twice.

"Oh right. Josh, this is Byun Baekhyun, the mentor that I told you about. Baekhyun, this is Byun Joshua, my umm boyfriend hehe," I rubbed my nape nervously. Gosh, so much for saying that I'm single to my boss in the auditions.

"Hmm..." I rubbed my arm with even more nervousness as Baekhyun just looked at Josh and me, deep in thoughts. "Well, I guess your relationship problems got solved quite fast, and your love came back to you again after all." My mouth went agape at his words so I asked with uncertainty, "Aren't you going to tell me to break it off with him or that I will need to hide my relationship or something? Sorry but, won't this ruin ElyXiOn's image and become trouble for you?"

"Well, do you want me to?" He retorted and I immediately shook my head and hands. Baekhyun sighed. "When I was under a company, I didn't like getting controlled when it came to my relationships. So did the rest of my members. That's why when we started ElyXiOn, we made a rule where we would not get involved in our trainees' or artists' relationships unless it harms them emotionally, physically or mentally. But looking at you two, I'm pretty sure this relationship will help you more than ever. So good luck!" He winked at me and then looked at Josh. "You'd better treat her right. Cause if you don't, she might end up singing another sad song again." He patted his shoulder then left after saying goodbye. I greeted back and Josh looked at me with one eyebrow raised.

"You sang a sad song? Cause of me?" He queried and I just chuckled nervously. I explained to him exactly what happened and he suddenly wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer. "So I technically helped you pass the auditions?" My eyes widen at his reply and I just punched his chest. "Yah! You're getting a little too cocky now."

"Haha alright alright. I'll take my leave now yeah? Careful on your way up." Josh said as he ruffled my hair and gave me a goodbye peck on the lips. But I grabbed the back of his coat, making him turn around again.

"D-Do you wanna umm... come inside?"
