President Yang's Request: T.O.P

Chapter 42 - Bae Jang Mi

Jang Mi pulled her sweater over her body and left her room. She still couldn't believe she lived in such a nice apartment. Although it still lacked in the furniture department, Jang Mi's brother promised they would go shopping for furniture soon. The apartment was nice and warm during winter and even during summer it'd be nice and cool. She felt like a home should feel this way. Now with her brother back, she never felt more at ease with being home. Her house didn't feel empty. Ji Hoon would often have his other friends over. The ones he trained with. They ate more than Jang Mi could ever imagine. She wanted to eat like them. She was mad because Ji Yong had told her that she needed to go on a diet. Not because she was fat but because she needed to be physically ready for a debut. Jang Mi understood. Since quiting the dream of being a singer, she let her health go. Meaning she ate everything she wasn't supposed to. Her new diet plan in her head, was to eat everything and exercise to help keep up with her high intake of calories.

"Jang Mi-ah!" Ji Hoon shouted.

Jang Mi jumped, startled by his sudden appearance. "Oppa!" She smacked his arm. "Why did you scare me like that?" Jang Mi held her chest as she breathed.

"I wasn't trying to." He shrugged while shoving a triangle kimbap into his mouth. "Where are you going so early in the morning?" He said with a full mouth.

Jang Mi side stepped him and went into the kitchen. "I told you already. Ji Yong oppa is going to be helping me with my debut. So I have to go right now." Jang Mi searched the fridge for anything to eat but came empty handed.

"Can I come?" Ji Hoon asked as he took a coffee cup off the counter and gave it to her. "It's hot cocoa." He smiled.

Jang Mi took it and smiled. "Thanks." After taking a sip she shook her head. "You can't come." Jang Mi said walking to the front door.

"Why not? I want to be a part of this wonderful experience in my baby sister's life." Ji Hoon said following her.

Jang Mi sighed while slipping on a pair of booted heels. "You can't come because you have training. Besides, without my oppa, I wouldn't have been able to become a singer. You're the reason why I'm now able to achieve my long dream. Besides, I wouldn't want to stop you from fighting just for me. I'm going now." Jang Mi smiled.

"My little sister! Fighting!" Ji Hoon said while holding a fist up.

Jang Mi smiled. "Fighting." She said copying the same motion with her hand.

After leaving her apartment, Jang Mi went down the elevators and out into the world of Seoul. The streets were busy with people walking to their destination in a rush. Something usual in Seoul. YG Entertainment wasn't that far so Jang Mi decided on walking there. The snow that fell over night was evident as it graced the streets of Seoul in small white piles. Jang Mi took sips of her hot cocoa to help warm herself. She was loving the site she saw with every passing moment.
After finally making it into the building of YG Entertainment, she ran in. She smiled happily, upon seeing Min Hyo Rin in the door waiting for her.

"Jang Mi-ah, I've been waiting for you." Hyo Rin smiled as she approached Jang Mi. "What took you so long?" Hyo Rin asked.

Jang Mi shook her head in annoyance. "Ji Hoon oppa kept bugging me to come. I told him he couldn't cause he has training." Jang Mi shook her head with a sigh. "I don't know what I'm going to do with that oppa of mines."

Hyo Rin laughed, imagining Ji Hoon begging Jang Mi to come with her. "Come on! Ji Yong-i said he was waiting for you."

Jang Mi smiled happily and hooked her arm with Hyo Rin as they made their way up the steps. Hyo Rin lead her to a recording studio that had a curtain covering the door. It helped refrain from anyone seeing them on the inside. Jang Mi smiled excitedly. She felt bubbly inside. She was really doing this. She even was blessed to be able to do it with Kwon Ji Yong. A big name in the industry was helping her become a singer.
With an intake of her breath, Jang Mi and Hyo Rin walked into the studio. It was equipped with everything a studio should have. On the left side of the room, sat a beige leather couch set that looked as soft as a cloud. In front of the couch was a table that had a computer on it and extra space where Jang Mi imagined herself eating on it. The sound board sat in front of a huge window that gave a view on the inside of the recording booth. Surprisingly, Ji Yong wasn't in the room alone.
