Dispatch || Han Jisung

-22-

[Jisung's POV]

I wait outside JYP's office, anxiety raising in my veins. Although JYP isn't even that scary, he still has a lot of power with him and can fire me if he wants.

Although we all know that would be a dumb decision to make.

Which is why I'm going to use that against him if he starts talking about that topic. But I still can't stop being nervous about the meeting.

I talked to Chan about this the moment he came back from Australia and he supports me in every way, also making sure I'm happy and that Stray Kids would stay together.

The door opens and the older man presents himself, smiling creepily at me. "Come in, Jisung." I get up and follow him in, breathing in and out to calm myself.

I sit down opposite of him and JYP clears his throat. "So, you wanted to speak to me?" he starts and I nod. "You may begin talking."

I sit up straight and look at him. "I want to talk to you about Nabi."

JYP leans back in his chair and folds his arms. "Continue." I don't know if he is happy or not, but I try to ignore that.

"As you know, Dispatch has posted a lot of news items about us being a couple. They also contacted you to try to get us into a fake relationship," I summerize and the man nods, making sure he follows me.

"I actually like Nabi for a long time now, but I only realized a month ago, in the middle of all the hassle of Dispatch. I actually wanted to get an approval of you for dating Nabi, which I find kind of weird to ask you, but that's how idol life is apparantly," I rant out and look nervously at JYP himself, who is seeming to think deeply about it.

"Okay."

I turn confused and continue looking at the man seated opposite of me. "What do you mean?"

"You can date her. It's not like I can forbid you to," he says and gets up from his seat. "But thank you for still thinking about asking me. You may leave."

I stand up and bow at him, not entirely feeling like it's the end of the meeting, since I thought he would be a little harder to convince. I walk to the door, when JYP stops me.

"One last thing, don't think your relationship is going to last for long. You're both still young and have a busy life. I doubt you would make so much time for each other, since you still have to meet my demands. I've warned you, Jisung. Now you may leave."

I feel so angry and annoyed that I can't even face him, let alone be formal and nice to him. So I just open the door, walk through, and close it behind me.

Chan told me to come back at the dorm immediately once the meeting was over to hear what the CEO wanted to say. The other members wanted to know too, so Minho, Felix, Seungmin, and Jeongin would come over to our place.

I just arrived at the dorm and onlock the door. I walk in and take off my coat and shoes before walking into the living room. There, I see my members, waiting for me to come back.

They all look at me, telling me to please come with good news. I first walk to the couch and sit down in between Chan and Jeongin, sighing loudy, the members still staring at me.

"Well?" Changbin asks. "What did he say?" I don't even think about his approval, but only those last sentences he said.

Is he happy or not?

That man is hard to please anyways, but those words just play in my head over and over again.

"Jisung?" I look next to me and see Jeongin with pleading eyes, looking at me, waiting for me to begin talking.

"He approved." My members start to cheer and congratulate me, except Chan and Minho, who seem to see my state. "What's wrong, Jisung?" Minho asks and I put my hands in front of my face, groaning.

"He said that he thinks our relationship won't last long, because we have to reach his demands and won't have time for each other. In other words, he just doesn't believe in us," I say, which comes out slidely mumbled, caused by my hands still placed on my face.

I hear some of the members sigh or groan annoyed. Seungmin gets up from his seat and walks to the kitchen. "I knew that man isn't a fan of happiness. The only thing I give him credits for is giving Chan the opportunity to choose us as his members."

I feel like everyone always makes JYP the villian...

But I don't have any other options, so let's be basic!
