Watching over Jinae on Jimin's lap.

A certain surge of confusion ran through my body. The phone call was so sudden and I just don't know how to react.

Putting my legs together, hands interlocked.

Something brought me back for a second, gazing at her.

She hasn't changed a bit and I admire that.

Karina - ne. Who am I with?

We exchanged looks, unsure of what to say.

Y/N - go ahead, is it Soo-man-nim?

Nodding, I crossed my arms. Silently waiting.

Karina - oh. I'm with L/N Y/N. uhh- Soo-Young-sunbaenim's brother if you remember.

Watching her go on, waiting for the call to pass.

Karina - I'll tell him. Ne. yeah, of course. I'll gather everyone in the morning. 7am? Okay sure. Ne. arraseo, goodnight.

Hanging up the call, her whole body turned to face me. A bit scared judging from her expression.

Y/N - what's up?

Karina - well.....

Y/N - well?

Karina - he was just checking up on me since I wasn't home, and since I told him your name. You heard me right?

Y/N - yeah, who you were with and stuff.

Karina - he just suddenly went off, not like angry but saying how much he adores you and he just suddenly had the bright idea of- I don't know if you'll like this

Y/N - let me guess, is it a job for me?

Karina - yes.

Y/N - Red Velvet? Producing for one of my noona's or something?

Karina - neither. For us.

Y/N - for Aespa?

Karina - yeah....

Her face crinkled as I uncrossed my arms, sighing a bit where I kept on stroking Jinae's hair.

Y/N - fuck.

Karina - he wants a song he wants to keep in the vault so when comeback season comes, we'll have a song regardless of concept since he wanted a song produced by you for Aespa.

Y/N - goddammit

Scratching the back of my head with my other free hand, feeling a bit weird about it.

Y/N - I'm gonna be honest. I have not listened to any of your stuff

Karina - that's understandable, knowing what you like.

Y/N - this is gonna be hard isn't it?

No hesitation, she nodded confidently.

Karina - do you think I could ca-

Y/N - ani. It's fine.

Waving her off, she was curious why I'm going through with it.

But personally, it's just good practice since I haven't produced in a while and just to remind me why I did a Music Production/Sound Engineer course for four years.

Y/N - I'll do him a favour since he did pull the deal for me and you. So the least I can do is produce a song for a certain very popular group right now

Karina - well thank you

Y/N - you deserve it but I'm gonna have to stay up tonight and do research, do some analysis on your songs. See what your producers do and stuff
