Lost In Life, Lost In You

Chapter 1: New Life, New You

※ S K Y ※

After four hours of ride, the plane landed at Incheon Airport. I immediately took a taxi and headed to the office building. New chief human resources officer, what an overwhelming title to have succeeded my years of drifted career.

"Please take me to this address: 42 Hangang-daero Yongsan-gu Seoul 04389. " I told the driver while handing him a piece of paper where I wrote the address just in case he didn't hear me clear.

The ride was quiet not until the driver asked me if he can play the radio. I just nodded in agreement. A familiar melody aired 2NE1's Goodbye, their last track released before disbanding. I still remember how confusing and unfair was it for the girls before, Minzy was probably left with no choice but to leave first. Even to this day, it still fascinates me that their last long as a trio seemed to be a tribute for her, them as 2NE1, and of course to Blackjacks. Reminiscing my fangirling moments almost made me tear up, for some reason I always feel like I forgot something very close to my heart. But I just shook it off. I went here to start a new life, not to continue my so-called forbidden addiction. Before I could notice, we had already reached the destination. The driver is kind enough to put my luggage near the building's entrance.

As I was about to enter the building after the security check, a prepossessing lady welcomed me with a smile.

"You must be Miss Willow.", she expressed surely.

"Yes, I assume you're Ash", I unsurely answered.

Instead of confirming, she went on saying, "please follow me", keeping her charming smile, and then turned back to walk forward to the office where I'll meet the CEO.

"This is PDnim's office, the CEO of Big Hit Entertainment. I believe you already know what to do upon entering. Just listen carefully to whatever he will be offering, even if it sounds too good to be true. I won't take so much of your time, welcome to the team and I'm excited to work with you", she said before leaving.

Standing like a lost child, I was contemplating, PDnim? Sounds familiar, huh. I can't seem to remember it clearly. It took me 3 knocks on the door before someone answered.

"Please come in.", he commanded.

"I'm Bang Shi Hyuk but everyone here calls me PDnim. Make yourself comfortable, just call me like what others do and please take that sit", PDnim told me before proceeding in explaining to me the scope of my work including the compensation and other benefits. I would pay someone to slap me right now, I can't believe what I've been told. Ash was right, this sounds too good to be true, but the twist is that it is true. Have I fought for my nation before to be overwhelmed with such blessings?

"Ms. Willow, do you have any place to stay after we finish here?", PDnim said with much concern.

I got back to my senses and answered him, "Yes, PDnim, I have a temporary place to stay in the meantime. My sister booked me a reservation at a hotel just nearby. After our meeting sir, I'll start looking for an apartment within the area, proximity-wise."

Without saying a word, he handed me a card with an address written on it. I stared at it and silently read, Unit 150429, 1677-8 Seochodong 1-dong, Gangnamgu, Seoul, South Korea.

"You can stay there for good. But you can always look for a place if you want to be alone.", he said breaking my silence.

"Oh~ I can't accept this anymore, this is too much generosity in a day, save something for tomorrow PDnim.", I replied laughing.

"Don't worry, that's the place where almost all employees here stay.", PDnim said.

I was so lost in the moment.

(Time Skipped)

I immediately went to the place where PDnim told me to stay.

"This must be unit 150429.", I told to myself.

I was about to knock, but then a tall guy opened the door from inside. He looks familiar. Have I met this guy before? My heart's beating so fast yet somehow I feel at ease. My hands and feet were sweating. What's the matter? Am I having an attack again? As far as I remember I was able to finally overcome my inferiority complex towards the opposite gender. But what's this?

"Hello!", I started as I put back my senses up. Damn these hormones. Why is he too attractive?

"Oh~ Hi?", he answered a bit confused.

"I'm Sky, new chief human resources officer at BigHit Entertainment.", I said while extending my hand to him for a shake.

"Ahh~ Sky, don't wanna be rude, but why are you standing right here on my unit?", he asked while gaping at my hand.

"Is there something I can help you with?", he added.

I looked at the card given to me. And asked him back, "Is this not unit 150429?".

"Let me take a closer look", he uttered.

I handed him the card. He flipped it backward, I wondered why? The address is printed in front.

"I'm sorry.", he said with apologetic eyes.

"PDnim must have offered you this place to stay.", he added.

Still puzzled, I just nodded.

"Please come in, lemme help you with your things. Then, I'll just take a phone call afterward", he expressed then started helping me carry my luggage inside.

"Thank you.", I answered thriftily.

When I was inside, I looked around. The unit has a living room with a touch of Swedish style, the traditional Falun red paint adds warmth and vibrancy. The kitchen is plain and simple. I guess he's not cooking. Since the kitchen seems to be unused, plus the stocks of the food boxes in the trash bin strengthens my theory that he is not using the kitchen. The bathroom is so lit that I wished to live inside it. Kudos to the interior designer who worked this bathroom. From the shower, toilet, sink, mirror, and everything, it looks so perfect! But the tub was the one that caught my admiration the most, I should soak myself there before I go to sleep.

This bathroom, are we going to share this?! He also works at BigHit! How are we gonna survive this? Hell no~ I can't cut my shower rituals.

Good thing I am not going to share the room with him. Because if that's the case, I need to say bye-bye to this fancy unit. So there are two bedrooms. The first one is his room, while I'll be using the other one. Both rooms were black and white in motif. This place is so beautiful, just like the guy who lives here. I laughed to myself not knowing his name after staying for almost half an hour inside the place. He went back inside.

"I'm sorry again, I was rude. By the way, I'm Namjoon, but they mostly call me RM.", he said as if reading my mind after closing the door.

Namjoon? RM? Have I heard this name before?

"Is that your full name?", I curiously asked him.

"Nope. Namjoon Kim is my full name. RM is my stage name.", he responded.

"Clear?", he added.

"Crystal clear", I said. But at the back of my mind, his name resounds. Namjoon Kim? RM? RM. Namjoon Kim.
