Home Is Always You

002

Jisoo usually hates waiting. Especially since she's one very important person in their industry. Making The Jisoo Kim wait means game over for anyone who's brave enough to do so. But as she sat down the empty conference room of The Black Label, being kept waiting was the least of her concern.

She has thought thoroughly about speaking to Roseanne after two long years. Jisoo knows she doesn't have to do it herself. She could terminate a contract without lifting a finger. Who do these people think she is?

But what concerns her is the fact that Roseanne accepted the offer despite knowing that it's her and Lisa's wedding. Jisoo knows the girl's planning to come back. To their lives? Perhaps. But Roseanne is definitely back, and it's not a good news.

"Jisoo."

The door to the conference room opened, and Jisoo must admit she was disappointed when she didn't see the face she was expecting to see.

"Teddy", she stood up briefly to greet the man.

Now, why is the record label's CEO here instead of Roseanne?

Teddy Park. He's been a father figure to the four of them ever since Roseanne joined his company. Being the singer's mentor, the girls have grown close to him during those years. He knew them well. And he was there when they broke apart.

But again, why is Teddy here instead of Roseanne? Jisoo remembers she specifically said she wanted to talk to the singer when she scheduled a meeting with them.

"Please, have a seat", Teddy said in courtesy before settling down on the chair across the girl's, "I've heard about the wedding. I came here personally to congratulate you and Lisa. I hope everything's going well with the preparations?"

Jisoo offers a small smile and nodded, "Thank you. Almost everything's ready, except that I haven't found my singer yet."

The man looks a bit taken aback, confused, "Oh, I thought Chaeyoung's—"

"Speaking of, I thought I've scheduled an appointment with her?"

Teddy pauses and heaves out a sigh before answering, "Well, to be honest, she's nowhere to be found."

Jisoo raises a brow at the CEO's statement, "What do you mean?"

"I couldn't reach her. Her phone's off, she's not responding on her socials, and her condo unit was completely untouched."

"I thought you flew back to Seoul together?"

"Yeah, but the moment our plane landed, she was out of sight."

"Oh, wow. So much security for your highest selling artist, huh?"

She didn't mean to sound rude. But she's really disappointed that she wasted her time going there without seeing even Roseanne's shadow.

"I'm really sorry. My crewmen are still trying to locate her as we speak. But you can tell me your concern, and I'll relay it to her soon as we find her", Teddy offers before leaning a little over the table, "Is there a problem with the contract?"

Jisoo shot him a glance, "Actually, the contract is the problem. My secretary signed it without my consent. So I'd like to terminate it."

Teddy Park was yet taken aback, "Jisoo, I thought you personally picked Chaeyoung—"

"You know about our history, Teddy", she cut him off.

The man pursed his lips and leant back against his seat, nodding, "Of course. That's why I was surprised when your secretary came up to us and booked Chaeyoung. I was even more surprised when she accepted. I thought things between you have already been settled. You even set an appointment with her. I really thought you guys are o—"
