CHAPTER 16: Which Team Are You On?

"I am sorry it took us this long but we all agreed to finalize this album within 3 weeks, including post-production and all." Jaebeom blurted out as he looked at everyone in the room.

"I'm good with that." Youngjae agreed.

"It would be lots of work but it is doable...let's try not bump into mistakes and errors so we won't lose time." Jackson added as he looked at his other producers that were in the room.

"Yes, boss producer, we'll work hard to make this the best collab album." Def said.

Jinyoung was silent while he started gathering the song sheets he had to put inside his bag. "Oh, sorry...Jinyoung-ah, we didn't even ask you if you're ok to be working more hours with the last song?" Youngjae looked at Jinyoung.

Jinyoung wasn't paying attention at all, his mind was full of thoughts. Jackson hesitantly but gently placed his hand to Jinyoung's arm, "Jinyoung? Are you ok?"

Jinyoung glanced at the warm hand on his arm which Jackson took away as soon as he could. Jinyoung slowly lifted his head to look at Jackson, "yes, Jackson?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to touch you but Youngjae asked you something...I was trying to -" Jackson was interrupted by seeing Jinyoung blush.

"Oh, Youngjae! Yeah, yes Jae?" Jinyoung rapidly turned to his friend when he felt his face warmed up by looking at Jackson's eyes.

Youngjae tried to bite his lips to stop himself from laughing, "Ah, I was asking you if you're ok with the time-frame on finishing the album since you and Jack still have one song to work on with."

"Yes, I'm ok with it." Jinyoung replied calmly. He then turned to Jackson, "W-when do you want to work on it?"

Before Jackson could reply, Jaebeom stretched as he got up, "Sorry, but it was a long day for me. If you'll excuse me, I have a fiancée waiting for me...Jinyoung-ah, you drove here, right?"

Jinyoung cleared his throat, "No, but go ahead. I'd take a cab home. Don't worry about it."

Jaebeom nodded. Def and Youngjae followed suit while BoyToy waited for Jackson to assure him that he didn't need his assistance for the night.

The room was silent as Jackson and Jinyoung were the only ones left in there. Jackson cleared his throat and asked, "So...are you-" but Jinyoung spoke at the same time with him, "Do you want to -"

They both laughed and offered to go first until Jackson decided to talk, "If we continue to talk at the same time we would never get to say what we wanted to, out of politeness of course, Jinyoung-ah. So, let me ask you first then..." Jackson smiled.

Jinyoung smiled back and his heart was beating so hard when he heard what Jackson said. What will he ask me first? Oh, my gosh, will he ask me on a date?

"....only if you want, Jinyoung-ah." Jackson asked which Jinyoung completely missed.

"Yeah, I love to." Jinyoung replied pretending he knew what Jackson had asked him.

Jackson smiled, "Wow, I was hoping you'd say no. You really want to start working on the song now?"

"Song? Yeah...why not? I don't mind working on it for an hour or so." Jinyoung replied and lowered his head to hide his flustered face as they both got out of the conference room.

"But it's like almost 10 pm...don't you have a curfew or something?" Jackson teased the younger one as they continued to walk towards Jackson's studio.

Jinyoung smacked Jackson's arm playfully which also shocked himself for doing so, "Curfew? It's Friday night! And I don't think my son would mind if I am not home early...He'd be happy to see Uncle Jaebeom there."
