"Jisoo! Jisoo!"

Jisoo's eyes open in a hurry as she looks at the person waking her up from her nap.

It's taehyung.

"Yes?" She says and rubs her eyes.

"You need to stop being lazy. Get up. You don't even work and pass out as if you've achieved something big and make it look like it made you exhausted." He groans and moves away from bed.

Jisoo sits on bed looking at him with a bored expression. She is wearing a satin nightgown, her pale face has become paler and her hair is darker than ever, her eyelashes flutter and small lips are pinkish.

She looks ethereal.

Taehyung can't deny that. She is beautiful. Everyday and always. Maybe its his head tricking him because she keeps getting prettier day by day but then again, it's jisoo.

He walks out of bedroom as she stays on her bed and watches him go. A few moments later she gets up, washes her face in bathroom and stretches again.

She makes her way downstairs and sees that lunch has been served. One thing that always didn't occur to her is the fact why does he need her to do the work when there are so many servants enough to do everything and anything.

Then again maybe he was just implying it as a reference to show how lazy she is being. Sure, jisoo is a writer and producer. She has not gotten any works to do, no promotions, no jetlags, no job.

She could write and make new storylines, she stuck with that until she found out that she couldn't get any work eitherway because no one was willing to take in any of her work.

So from then, she decided to let it be and sucked it up, ditched work and became as lazy as a procrastinator.

Taehyung sits at his own table, jisoo sits across him.

He looks at her, his expression unreadable. Jisoo doesn't bother with his gaze and starts eating her own lunch.

She gulps everything down as if her life depends on it, sleeping too much makes someone so hungry you are barely a human and mostly a beast devouring a feast.

"I..." Taehyung says. Jisoo pauses and looks at him "There is somehwere I need you to go. It will be for a month. I've to go for my bussiness trip and you will stay there until I come back and pick you up." Jisoo looks at him confused.

"What place?" She asks.

"I'll tell you when time is right." He says and starts eating his lunch without even looking at her anymore whole lunch.

She eats without any care in the world and as she finishes her plate, her phone rings with notification. She picks it up. It's an email.

She gets up from chair "I'll be back." She says knowing it's a lie and walks upstairs to room. She opens her laptop and then logins to read the email.

Ms. Kim

This is eun ryeong, director of the latest drama 'let it be in your dream'. I've read your pitch and I loved it very much to say so.

To be honest, I'm rather grateful to be working with you if you are interested. I apologise if I come forward as informal but that pitch made me so excited and I'm always ready to work with you.

Your pitch 'us: far apart' has won my heart. I apologise for not taking it into consideration in earliest.

Send me the whole copy and cast the actors that you find suitable.

Thank you,
Managing director,
Euna studios.

Jisoo, after many long weeks of rejection, feels extremely excited. She sends the whole pitch to him and decides to cast the actors on her own.

She researches for two hours before she decides on actors and sends it after the pitch. She shuts her laptop and falls on bed. "Fucking amazing. My life seems to be working out." She says with a huge smile to herself.

It's almost dinner time now, taehyung hadn't been back and it worries jisoo. She is more active than ever.

The bell rings then the door opens. Taehyung comesbin putting his coat on stand and taking his shoes off.

He sees jisoo standing and looking at him and then she runs to him with biggest grin on her face.

She jumps in his arms and he catches her with a chuckle as they both laugh, he sets her down and she kisses his cheek. "Tae, guess what?" She says.

"I wonder what but whatever it was that made you so happy, I'm glad you welcomed me by door today and did more than that. I should be grateful, what is this about?" He gives her biggest smile to her.

His eyes are filled with love and compassion. "My pitch got selected. The director, eun accepted it." She screams and dances again.

Taehyung laughs, it was fake.

He acts as if he is happy. His smile drops then "Good. Your hardwork paid off. And as I said I'll be away and you have to go somewhere, this is best time to say this. Director reached out to me and I said I'll cast a better producer in your stead as you have to go where you are asked to." He elaborates

"What are you saying?" Jisoo panics "don't bullshit me. I'll stay here and do production. What do you mean, better producer? Am i not good enough?" She yells and her eyes well up with tears

His face turns cold as stone "I'm doing this for your own good. Suck it up and stop being a brat." He says and gets inside to settle on dining table and starts eating.

Jisoo sits too but far away from him than usual. Her dreams came crashing down. All she wanted was to work and now he is taking that away from her.

His gaze goes to her as she moves to far corner of the huge royal table but he doesn't question it.

"Why are you doing this?" She asks him. Her throat clogs up and tears well up once again.

"Because you are insane." He says without thinking.

"Insane? For what?" She pushes further.

"For being the way you are. You might still be beautiful but you aren't acting like yourself. It's concerning. You will be sent to another institution to teach you everything and set you right for a month while I'm away. So just obey me." He says. His eyes looking at her, dark glint in the eyes.

She stands up. A servant comes with some dish, she takes it and throws it across floor. "Don't you dare to test me. Is it a mental asylum?" She asks.

"Probably " he says munching on his food.

"Well then fuck you!"

She says and goes upstairs without looking back even once.

Jisoo knows....no one can defy taehyung...

...and neither can she.
