President Yang's Request: T.O.P

Chapter 22 - A New Friend or Enemy?

It's been three weeks since the incident at the theater happened. Jang Mi guilt about fake fainting and then sleeping left the moment Choi Seung-Hyun claimed he fought the five guys off by himself. The other guys believed him to. Jang Mi let him boast. She felt like knowing the truth about it made her have a little bit of power over him.
Nothing eventful happened between Jang Mi and Choi Seung-Hyun within the three weeks. Jang Mi had been filming everyday until late hours into the night. She barely had enough time to see Choi Seung-Hyun. She enjoyed coming to her apartment to see him sleeping away in her living room. It always brightened her smile while she was tired. Aside from Choi Seung-Hyun, Jang Mi found it weird that the members of Big Bang were watching the drama she was in. Even Amber and Jackson called her to express her success in acting. Choi Seung-Hyun wasn't to expressive of the drama, but he did tell her she did well. (Korean shows air while still in the process of filming it. Unlike America where we film the whole season two while season one is playing on television.)

"You love me? If you love me, leave her! Stay by me!" Jang Mi snapped at the man in front of her.

"Why else would I be here?"

When the director called cut, Jang Mi couldn't help but to cringe at the cheesy lines. But it was the process of their love line. She was exhausted from all the filming. She felt like the lights and cameras were going to burn her alive. Already she had bruises on her knees and shins from all her stunt mistakes. Every mistake she did, they had to re-do the scenes from the beginning. It was hard to get used to because she wasn't actually hitting people, buy instead her fist would just swiftly pass their faces and they would just fall. Jang Mi also couldn't handle some senior actors who eyed her down when she made a simple mistake. However, the director and producers loved her and her kind ways. Jang Mi would make her poor manager Kim and Park run around passing things out to the cast and crew of the drama to help them enjoy shooting better since everyone has been tired due to the late schedule. Luckily filling was over -for Jang Mi anyways- she needed to ask President Yang about the process of the company's problem.

...

Jang Mi entered YG Entertainment with a smile as she waved at people who recognized her. She was already on the last floor of the building. Seeing the familiar doors of the dance studios and recording studios that she saw when she first came here. People were in it as always. She wasn't sure how some of these people weren't tired of their own songs. Jang Mi would hate her own songs by the time she finished recording, dancing, practicing, and then performing. They had to perform over and over again. On music shows like Music Bank, Inkigayo and other places. Jang Mi walked through President Yang's door without a knock, like she always did. Unlike the last time, it wasn't filled with business men who were with a bad attitude. President Yang sat at his desk writing things onto paper and typing things on to his computer.

"President Yang." Jang Mi walked in and bowed. "Hello."

"Ah, Jang Mi-ah." He smiled and pointed to the chair that sat across his desk. "What can I do for you?"

"It's been more than a month now. How is the company doing?" Jang Mi didn't know how to ask.

President Yang rubbed his chin. "We're still working on it. It's gotten more complicated and I'm sorry I can't tell you more about it. I promise, once we find more information, we'll let you and Choi Seung-Hyun know." He paused. "Is there something going on? Are you two not getting along?"

Jang Mi shook her head. "No, we're perfectly fine." She stood up and bowed. "Thank you President Yang."

As soon as Jang Mi left, President Yang's secretary stared at him with a confused face. "Sir, why didn't you tell them that we fixed everything with the company's matter and the fact that it was a really small problem that the shareholders were making into big deal." He said.

"I think they actually like each other. They just don't see it." He sighed. "Besides Park Bom and Sandara -who are in their thirties- aren't married yet, I think it's best if we keep them together." He smiled. "You did a good job at picking the couple."

"Thank you sir." He bowed and then left to attend secretarial work.

***

Jang Mi and Choi Seung-Hyun had been getting along well. If anything too well. Choi Seung-Hyun was very flirtatious with her. He would hug her in public and kiss her cheeks. Jang Mi didn't know how to react to things like that. She felt herself slowly liking him. But she knew that the moment President Yang found a solution for the company's situation, they both would go their separate ways. That's why Jang Mi was a little on the edge about it. On the edge enough to ask President Yang herself. Lately, Choi Seung-Hyun would sleep at her house or vise versa whenever they both had time. There has been more incidents where the two almost kissed but Jang Mi ignored them after she got her senses back. The way he smelled will instantly put her to sleep. She was so used to having his smell on her, that she was afraid that when he's gone, she won't be able to sleep.

"Jang Mi-ah?" Jang Mi looked up seeing someone she hasn't seen in awhile. "You stood like that for a whole five minutes."

Jang Mi looked around to find that she was still in the hallway of the entertainment company. It was Dong Young Bae who caught her roaming the halls. She eyed him suspiciously. She wondered why he was here by himself. Then she finally took in the fact that he was shirtless. He had an amazingly healthy body. Jang Mi knew Dong Young Bae had a good looking face. Like his face is literally good looking. However, Jang Mi found herself thinking Choi Seung-Hyun is much more handsome. The most handsomest in the whole group

"Ah, Dong Young Bae." She smiled.

"Oppa, call me oppa." He patted her hair which in return she involuntarily smacked his hand out of the way.

"Sorry-" she paused. "Oppa?" They both laughed.

"She doesn't even call me oppa." Jang Mi's eyes fall on Choi Seung-Hyun who smirked at her. "Why don't you call me oppa?" Choi Seung-Hyun pulled her into his side.

"Because you're weird." Jang Mi said ignoring how his smell instantly flooded around her.

Choi Seung-Hyun kissed her head causing a warm smile to brush her lips. She was happy that he couldn't see her smiling, it'll be embarrassing for her. "I'm not weird." Choi Seung-Hyun noticed Dong Young Bae was staring at the two. "Young Bae-ah, what are you doing?"

"I just bumped into her, but my girlfriend asked to meet you." Dong Young Bae asked.

"Who's your girlfriend?" Jang Mi wondered.

"You never heard of the rumors? They were confirmed." He scoffed. "You're lying."

"Our Jang Mi doesn't like reading about celebrities, so she strays away from media websites or gossip channels." Choi Seung-Hyun piped in.

"Min Hyo Rin. She's your sunbae." Dong Young Bae smiled. "She wanted me to tell you ahead of time. She'll probably come visit you on the set."

"No she shouldn't have to make such an effort. I can fit her somewhere on my off days." Jang Mi said.

"Off days? You cannot. You hang out with me." Choi Seung-Hyun eyed her.

Jang Mi scoffed. "You're busy all the time. Besides I want to meet her too. I'm a huge fan of hers."

"She's rather persistent. She'll meet you on your drama set." Before Jang Mi could protest he left.

"I have something I need to tell you." Choi Seung-Hyun spoke now facing Jang Mi. "Big Bang is going to hold a concert in Asian countries next week. So we'll be gone all next week."

Jang Mi sighed. "A whole week? Aren't you going to be tired by the time you get back?"

"Probably but I'm used to it." Choi Seung-Hyun sighed. "Are you sure you want to meet her?"

"Why is she mean?" Jang Mi was now hesitant.

"To be honest, I wouldn't know. I never met her." Jang Mi sighed in relief.

"It's alright, I'll meet her." Jang Mi said with a sigh.

Why does she want to meet me?
