Another scandal

It was raining.
In Seoul the weather it's often like this, humid and misty, but somehow I liked it.
Rosie always used to say that it made her feel sticky and she hated the way her skin looked whenever she came back home after going out with the rain. And if I have to be completely honest, the way she put it, made me question my taste on the matter.
For sure it's mood dependent, but I also find something extremely comforting in a rainy day.
Maybe it's the cool breeze embracing me so that I can squeeze my warm coat a little tighter. Maybe it's the unique smell of quenched earth surrounding the atmosphere. Maybe it's the small drops falling off the ever-so-green leaves. Maybe it's the tickling sound that soon becomes heavier of the soft and swollen drops, like pearls on a drum. Or maybe is the glittering rainbow after the rainfall that makes everything worth it in the end.
My favorite part of the rainy days was definitely the way she didn't know how to cook very well but knew how to make the best hot chocolate. The way she bought ice cream as well because she knows it's my favorite thing to eat while binge watching a show sprawled on the sofa with our dogs and cats surrounding us. The way she cuddled with me making me feel safe. The way she whispered little nothings in my ear making me feel the most special person in the universe.
The way she bathed with me, soothing and relaxing, while humming the sweetest melodies of our favorite songs. The way she pressed her naked body on mine after switching the nightlight off. The perfect way in which her lips kissed 'goodnight' on my skin.
To be fair, she was the best part of all my days.

It rained.
This day particularly we were summoned by our boss in the head quarters of our agency because he needed to discuss a business plan. I already knew what kind of business this meeting entitled and for this reason I decided to bring her with me. I didn't want to repeat the same mistakes of the past.
I wasn't really good at disguising my emotions and she could pick up every little mood swing just by a look, so her increasing questioning frown pointed in my direction wasn't a surprise from my part.
I just took her hand and squeezed it in mine, hoping that this little gesture would help reassuring her before turning back to the door as soon as it was opened.
We sat on the chairs in front of the desk where he was sitting, searching comfort in the warm eyes of the middle aged woman standing beside him.
Everyone thought it was her the one making decisions but the reality was far from that.

"Another scandal." Were the words mentioned and those were enough to enrage her. She tightened the grip on my hand and the way she gritted her jaw and her eyes turned a deep, cold shade of brown were a hint to how furious she was.

"Why?"
Hyun Suk creased his eyebrows as if her questioning his choices was a personal attack.
Words weren't needed but that was his way of telling 'know your place'. I knew that look especially well.
"Why her?"

"You have already embarrassed me, my agency and the K-pop industry enough with your" he made sure to punctuate his pure disgust as he spoke the next words. "...questionable... life choices." He looked at her, at me and then at our intertwined hands.
"You think you have a say in this?" He finally raised his gaze back up to our eye level.
She held his gaze until she couldn't anymore. I could see her starting to crumble. One more second and she would've exploded. So she turned her eyes and fixated them on the huge glass window while her mouth formed a thin line.
The hand grip was becoming painful for me so I soothed small circles with my thumb on her skin. It worked because she relaxed a lot afterwards.

My worried eyes kept going from her to him until I finally spoke. "With who?"

He smiled viciously before saying his last words for that meeting. "G-Dragon."
My stomach hurt and I was so tense that I felt the urge to throw up.
I swallowed the think lump in my throat as an attempt to calm myself down but it didn't work. And the look on Lisa's face wasn't helping either.
