Jinyoung sat down and quietly ate his food. Jaebeom smiled and discreetly leaned towards his best friend.

"Awfully quiet there, buddy." Jaebeom teased Jinyoung.

Jinyoung felt defeated, "how'd you know the perv....I meant that arrogant man anyway?"

"Ummmm, he's the music producer I was telling you about, who happens to be the one who will oversee our upcoming album? Basically, it's his work that will determine the success of this collab album...so please, be nice...or at least pretend to be nice."

Jinyoung pouted. He didn't like this Jackson dude at all. Fine looking man but too arrogant for his taste. "I can't promise anything...but I will try."

Mark started talking to continue the flow of the conversation, "So, Def, Boytoy...how do you feel working under Jackson?"

"I am ecstatic. I mean, he could sign anywhere in the world but he decided to take on this project." Boytoy said.

"True. I mean, he worked with 88Rising artists...and was also being scouted by other western labels." Def added.

Jackson didn't reply due to being distracted. He was on the phone texting.

Mark nudged his cousin, "Jackson?" He whispered.

Jinyoung rolled his eyes when he noticed that Jackson didn't even acknowledge the other producer's kind words. He scoffed and mumbled to himself, so arrogant I tell you.

"You said something Jinyoung?" Mark asked, smiling.

Jinyoung shoved more sushi in his mouth so he wouldn't talk. He shook his head at Mark.

Jackson finally looked up and glanced at Jinyoung who was sitting on the opposite side of the table. Jackson smiled with his lips pressed trying not to show his amusement of Jinyoung's stuffed face with food. Adorably cute. Jackson noted.

"Thank you for acknowledging my work. I'm looking forward to working with you two. And it's an honour to work with Jaebeom and Youngjae. I just hope I can live up to your expectations."

Beep. Beep. Jackson looked at his phone and smiled. "If you'll excuse me. I have to make a call." Jackson said.

"Oh, sure. Take your time." Youngjae said.

Jackson got up and left the private room. Youngjae turned to Jinyoung, "Isn't he gorgeous, Jinyoung?"

"Why are you asking me that, Youngjae?" Jinyoung asked.

"Because I think you two look good together!" Youngjae excitedly blurted out.

"No we're not! Besides, he is not my type." Jinyoung said defensively.

Jaebeom scoffed, "He is totally your type!"

Jinyoung opened his mouth and was about to protest when Jackson came back. Jinyoung decided to just close his mouth and he would give Jaebeom an earful later.

"Sorry! my baby called. We haven't seen each other since this morning. I called to say good night." Jackson explained.

Jinyoung felt Jackson's eyes on him so he grabbed a glass to drink. He was parched and he has no idea why. Please don't talk to me. Please. What the heck did I just drink? Jinyoung made a face on the drink he just tasted.

He looked at Jaebeom who glanced back at him and whispered, "That was my drink, Nyoung."

Jinyoung sheepishly apologized to Jaebeom when he heard, "So, we all work at Got7 Music label and how come I haven't seen you around, Jinyoung?"
