Producer's Corner

Chapter 16

Closing the apartment door, Kiki starts to untie her shoes.

"How was it?"

Looking up at Lucas, she raises an eyebrow, deciding to play dumb. "How was what?"

Pouting, he crosses his arms. "You know what I'm talking about."

Standing up from her crouch, she nudges him out of the way. "Do I?"

Following her out of the hallway, he continues. "Yes! Your meeting with Bang Chan!"

Turning around to face him, Kiki squints her eyes. "Whose that?"

Groaning in annoyance, he searches for Meg's presence. "Megan! Help me pry answers out of Kiki!"

Popping her head out of her room's door, Meg laughs out, "No."

"You're not even curious as to how the meeting went?"

"Why should I? It's like all the other meetings she's had. Plus, she would have brought it up at dinner." They state confidently.

Making a face, Lucas reluctantly drops the topic. Standing there for a moment, his eyes widen at the thought of food.

"Did you get me my pastry?" He asks, looking for Kiki. When did she get over there?

Looking up from her spot on the couch, she eyes him for a moment. "No, I forgot."

Dramatically falling onto Kiki, who let out a small grunt at the impact, he cries out. "You forgot my precious pastry. My free food!"

Rolling her eyes, she pushes him off of herself. "I'll get you one next time. Goodness."

He easily stands up, forgoing his dramatics. "Thanks; don't forget."

They sit down around their small table for dinner. They were having simple gimbap.

"So, how was your day?" Meg starts.

Rolling her eyes slightly, Kiki sighs. "Since both of you want to know so badly, nothing really happened. It was my basic meeting that I have with all my other collaborations."

Narrowing his eyes, Lucas retaliates against the statement. "It couldn't have been a regular meeting. If it was, you would have had the meeting at the company, but you didn't."

Meg chokes on their food. "I didn't know this meeting was somewhere else."

"See, now you know how it's a special occasion."

Deeply sighing, she takes a moment to think.

Is it really that big of a deal?

"All I did was meet him at the cafe, introduce ourselves, order food, and leave."

Meg, now narrowing her eyes, starts accusing, "That wasn't all that happened. You didn't even mention talking about songs."

"Oh, my goodness. We went on a drive. I got too anxious at the cafe, so Chan offered to drive around. It was the quickest and easiest. Not to mention, we didn't have to worry about fans."

"Oh. That's nice of him." Meg states, before going back to eating.

Lucas pouts, folding his arms across his chest. "That's it? There was nothing special?"

Furrowing her eyebrows, she continues, "What else would have happened? It was our first meeting. We're not going to fall in love or something."

I did have fun, though.

"I'm home!" Chan yells out, taking off his shoes.

His head looks up at the sound of thundering foot steps. Watching as Felix runs down the hallway.

Raising an eyebrow, he was about to ask a question before being cut off.

"How was your meeting? Was Producer's Corner a great person? Have you heard any new songs? Are you guys already producing?" Felix asks question after question.

I didn't know he was such a big fan.

"Felix. Felix. Slow down."

Pausing mid-sentence, he snaps his mouth shut. "Sorry. I'm just excited."

Smiling at his enthusiasm, Chan says, "You know I can't say too much."

Felix throws back his head and groans in irritation. "Yea, yea."

Jeongin walks into them, deciding to jump into the conversation. "You can't even tell us what you guys talked about?"

Huffing out a sigh of defeat, he walks into the living room area, the two following. "I'll talk about it during dinner. For that, I don't have to repeat myself."

Both of them jump up and down in excitement, cheering. Then running off to do their own things. Chan watches in fondness.

Setting down their utensils, the group gathers around the table to start eating. Only a few moments passed before Producer's Corner was brought up again.

"Chan! How was the meeting? Did you guys start working on the song already?" This time it was Jisung who asked.

He opened his mouth to respond but was cut off.

"No! He isn't allowed to talk about it. Something about NDAs." Jeongin states.

Smiling at his consideration, Chan responds to the original questions anyway. "I'm sure I'm allowed to talk about a few things. As long as it isn't anything personal,"

Cheering was heard throughout the room.

"First of all, the meeting went well. We ended up having to drive around to have the meeting though."

Minho's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Didn't you set the meeting at the cafe near JYP?" Murmurs of agreement follow.

Scratching the back of his neck, he awkwardly replies. "Neither of us considered fans questioning who I was with. We didn't want rumors to start or even images. No matter the cafe rules, so we left and decided the easiest way was to drive around."

Well, it's half true, half false, but it'll work. Hopefully.

Setting down his own utensils, Seungmin pushes for more information. "Rumors? Like dating rumors?" At that, the table breaks out into murmurs.

"Does that mean Channie only met up with one person?"

"Ohhh! What if they're female?"

"That would definitely start rumors if he was seen."

Mentally face-palming, Chan deeply sighs.

"Guys! Guys!" He starts off trying to ring them in. "Stop with the assumptions; it's disrespectful. Either way, I'm not allowed to say anything personal about their gender or personality."

Apologies coming from everyone, he fondly shakes his head.

"Anyways. Did you talk about producing any new songs?" This time the question was from Changbin.

"Kind of. We talked about how they got into producing and how they started working with idols. Nothing much. I wanted to know more about them as a person and become friends with them. They seem to appreciate it."

"I want to meet them so badly!" Hyunjin groans out. Another chorus of agreements were made.

"Do you guys really want to know about them?"

A chorus of agreements.

"Of course!"

"Their music is such a great inspiration!"

"They seem like great people."

At that, Chan raised an eyebrow. "How would you know? They keep everything under wraps."

He only shrugs his shoulders and doesn't say anything else.

Looking down at the table, he knows he's about to regret what he says.

"I can try to see if you guys meeting Producer's Corner is against the contract."

At that, a few members jump up in excitement. Yelling eventually breaks out.

"Alright, alright! No promises!" Chan tries to calm them down.

It didn't work.

I don't know if it's allowed. I don't even know her that well. I literally just met her too.
