"She's My one of a Kind" A G-Dragon Fanfiction

Chapter 8

Ji-yong went straight to the shower. He stayed there for a long time and soaked in the tub even longer. When his toes started to get wrinkled, he hauled himself out and changed. Surprisingly, he had no schedule today. Normally, when preparing for a tour, everyone would be crazy and the studio, the company and his co-producers would always be at his heels checking up on this and that. But as the years went by, his bosses, now more like colleagues, have learned to trust his judgment and let him do as he sees fit. Maybe that was why he has more free time. It wasn't like him to slack off. Even in the past, he always wanted to be on hand when preparing for things like this - perfectionist even - but today's free time excited him since he can follow up on Yoona.

Suddenly invigorated by his purpose, he wanted to see her as soon as possible but first he called Seungri. "Hey Seungri, can you tell me all about last night?" he asked innocently. "Oh hello Ji-yong! Uhm - I'm not sure. I was busy but I thought I saw you with Seiya" Seungri replied. His gut tightened in suspicion but he said, "Really? But that was still early on. I do remember brushing her off as gently as I could - but knowing her, you know it got quite awkward..." "Yeah. But then I got busy hehehe...Why? Did something happen?" Seungri said. Ji-yong laughed as well to cover his worry, 'Well, nothing much - only that I almost died' he thought but he just said, "Uh - I'm just curious. I couldn't remember much of what happened..." "Hahaha it's cause you party so hard!" Seungri teased him. He laughed it off and said goodbye.

Now he was even more determined to find out who else he interacted with at the party. There were a lot of crazies at the party so he vowed to learn more about last night but first, he must go win a lady's heart.

Yoona just sat in her office the rest of the morning. Her mind was too troubled to think clearly. She wanted desperately to escape, but there was so much more that was at stake. She was back on square one. All of a sudden, her bright future quickly crumbled to the ground. 'It's not fair!' she thought. She bit her lip and her eyes started to tear up but the shock from earlier was still too much that she was still numb. She sat unmoving, her head under her arms, so still and quiet that even the AC's silent hum was the only noise in the room.

Jisung prided herself in being efficient and having the skill to foresee what Yoona needed even before she asks for it. But today, she didn't know how to comfort her boss. Working with and for her these past 3 years, she was truly impressed by Yoona's confidence, integrity and an impeccable work ethic. She felt honored to be her assistant and she truly wanted her to succeed. But today was the first time she saw a crack in Yoona's shell. The men around the table didn't notice it, but Jisung's heart broke a little when she saw the look on Yoona's eyes when the decision was made. It was very quick and Yoona recovered quickly but she witnessed it. She also wanted to fight the representatives from the Strong Holdings, Ltd. but Yoona just nodded reassuringly at her.

She looked at the time. It was 1:15 in the afternoon and Yoona was still locked up in there. She was worried now. The whole floor wasn't so eerily quiet anymore but the people were still subdued. She didn't want to pace up and down in front of Yoona's office - that's unprofessional. But she wanted to do something. "Jisung, pizza delivery?!" asked a runner.

Her head came up quickly. 'Huh? I didn't order pizza?!' she thought. But she realized something. "Great! Just in time! Yoona loves pizza!" she exclaimed. The delivery guy shrank from her excitement but smiled mysteriously at her. She looked curiously at him and wondered at his smile. 'Hmmm he looks familiar....' but she couldn't remember where she's seen him. She shrugged it off and made a gamble. 

Maybe Yoona's already hungry so 'Let's distract her with food!' she crossed her fingers and wished that Yoona would take the bait.
