President Yang's Request: T.O.P

Chapter 65 - Survive To Love

One Year Later

Choi Seung-Hyun was having a hard time breathing. It was causing him to wake up out of his slumber. He opened one eye and stared at his chest. Jang Mi laid the top half of her body over him. Hugging him shamelessly against her as her small, quiet snores rumbled through her chest. He could feel it rumbling onto his chest, as well as the heat that radiated off of her. Her blond hair was long gone and replaced with ashy grey hair with layers of pink as well as at the ends of her hair for her new single she was currently promoting. It was hard for him to have her be so busy with her promotions. Since she was so busy, she barely had enough time to spend with him. Big Bang wasn't up to much but Kwon Ji Yong was working on an album for a solo comeback. So he was the only one that was busy with something. Choi Seung-Hyun kept getting calls from manager hyung about the offers for acting rolls. Nothing was appealing to him so he continued to turn them down.
For the year that passed, Jang Mi was doing well without therapy. She still got scared from explosions and things that pop out at her unexpectedly, but she had a better handle on her anxiety than most people would. And this time, Choi Seung-Hyun believed her. She only acted in one drama since her last one but she was holding off the drama to release a single. Her singing concept was different from her acting personality and even Choi Seung-Hyun was surprised by the song she released. The concept is sexy yet mysterious. It was giving a little taste of cake without giving the whole slice of cake. Her outfits were amazing as well. Choi Seung-Hyun drooled over her often but would get easily angry at her for wearing a revealing outfit for others to see. Jang Mi would just shrug and flip her hair over her shoulder. They were that comfortable with each other, that Choi Seung-Hyun's jealousy always went over Jang Mi's head.
Jang Mi wasn't always busy with work, she often helped Ji Soo. He improved a lot on his English speaking as well as his acting, from what Jang Mi has told Choi Seung-Hyun. Jang Mi refused that Ji Soo would speak with an accent. She didn't mind him having an accent since he wasn't a fluent speaker but because of people looking down on him she didn't want him to have one. Although Ji Soo is a family member of Jang Mi and Ji Hoon, she knew he didn't have much from being an orphan. Jang Mi wanted to make sure he was able to prove to people who doubted him because of his background that he can be someone even if he was an orphan. Which was what Ji Soo was ready to do as he had been auditioning for companies to sign him. So far he's only been getting disappointing calls from them, letting him know he wasn't going to be signing onto their company. His last week's audition was at CJ Entertainment which they hadn't yet called. A few days ago he auditioned for YG Entertainment which was the last resort. If he didn't make it into either of the two, he was going to continue working even harder at achieving his dream.
As for the relationship between Jang Mi and her mother, Jang Mi never did visit her after the last time. Ji Hoon visited often to check up on her. From what Ji Hoon was telling Jang Mi, their mom was somewhat getting better. She was kind to Ji Hoon. She wasn't treating him the way she treated Jang Mi, that's for sure because Ji Hoon kept going back. However, in her own twisted mind, she still believed that she had killed Jang Mi that night. Which was why Jang Mi didn't want to visit her.

"Hmm." Jang Mi moaned tiredly as she started to stir on top of Choi Seung-Hyun's chest. He didn't want to wake her up, even if he couldn't breath. "Seung-Hyun, am I making you uncomfortable?" Jang Mi said in her raspy voice from her lack of sleep.

"No." Choi Seung-Hyun lied.

"Liar." Jang Mi muttered softly. She got off of his chest and turned around on his bed, turning her back to him.

Choi Seung-Hyun watched her do so. He sighed before turning to his side and pulling her small frame against his chest and wrapped his arms around her. He was being her bigger spoon while she giggled at the butterfly kisses he placed alongside her neck and jawline. She placed her hand over his hand that laid across her stomach. She intertwined her fingers into his from the back of his hand and traced her thumb over his smooth skin.
