... AT THE 'SMART' BUILDING ...
I arrive at work by 8:28 giving me 2 minutes to stumble in holding my paintings. As I enter through the clear doors, I place the canvases on a set of chairs and ask reception to check whether my boss is in or not.
Within ten seconds, the huge double doors (that lead to the show room) are blown open and I get greeted by an ecstatic manager.
Clarisse: "(YN)! I haven't seen you in aaaages! How have your pieces come along?" She asks, opening her arms to embrace me.
I exit the embrace and show her the first painting in the pile, which just so happened to be my most recent one, a girl intertwined by snakes, as a partner to my previous work (the girl with the butterflies). She takes a step back, places her hand on her chest and covers her mouth as she gasps.
Clarisse: "This is amazing, I shall have to put your work up now, we are being visited by a well-known K-pop band and they are offering a lot for all of your paintings!"
Me: "WHAT! REALLY? Oh my, well I uh..." I have no idea what to say, I'm quite flattered "what band?"
Clarisse: "They're called," She stops to think for a moment then continues what she was going to say "BTS."
Wait, didn't the guys dance to one of their songs? Yes!
Me: "Oh that's fantastic, I know a few people who would be thrilled to know that BTS like my work!"
Clarisse: "Cool, but their manager would like to speak to you, she said something about a contract."
I nod and the pick up the stack of paintings, Clarisse takes half of them and then we walk through the doors. From what I could hear, we passed the band somewhere in the room but I couldn't see them because the canvases were in my face. My boss and I place them down on a desk at the end of the room and then she starts putting them on display as I am taken into one of our work rooms by security (they must be here to make sure nobody comes in while the band are here).
???: "Hello." Says a voice from the room. I see a woman wearing a black suit sitting at one end of the desk. I take the other seat and greet her.
Me: "Hello, I'm (F/N, L/N) nice to meet you."
???: "I'm Audrey, it's a pleasure to meet you." *don't dis the name! I quite like it, FIGHT ME XP*
Me: "My Boss informed me that I was to be speaking with you about a contract?" I ask her, in hopes of progressing in the conversation.
Audrey: "Yes, you might know this but since the band have taken to your work, and have to include art in a lot of their Music Videos, we would like to formally make you our full-time artist." My eyes widen, "You will be paid more than double what you are paid here" d-d-double, what the heck!? "AND we are willing to take you with us when doing tours and shows, so long as you would want to attend."
As per usual, before I am able to speak, a member of security enters the room.
Security: "Ma'am, the boys have finished looking and all of the pictures are in the car. They keep nagging me to give them something to do but I don't know what to say."
Audrey: "(YN), are there any spaces that 7 guys might be able to occupy their time in?"
Me: "There is a training hall connected to the building, usually it is rented for Dance practice though."
Audrey turns to look at the security guard again.
Audrey: "Go check to see whether the room is vacant, if so, tell the boys to rehearse for their show."
Security: "And what if-"
He is cut off by a sharp glare from the woman and then the door closes.
Audrey: "Back to what I was saying... what do you think of the offer?"
Me: "I would like to accept your offer but I have a question as to where I would be working."
Audrey looks at a sheet of paper which she takes out of her incredibly smart, black brief case.
Audrey: "You have the option of choosing to either work in the same building as the guys, or from home."
Me: "Well, I have not seen the building that they work in therefore, I am unable to tell where I would be better suited to do my Paintings."
Audrey: "That would not matter at this exact moment, you can choose after the tour."
Me: "Tour?"
Audrey: "Yes, we will be leaving on Friday to tour (Favorite Country). Depending on whether you accept my offer by then, you would be coming with us for the two months."
I take a moment to think. Two months, that's a long time. I just made friends as well. I have no idea what to say. But this would be a great way of rising in my career, I could afford a better apartment. I'm so torn.
Audrey: "We will be needing your answer today."
Me: "I accept your offer!" I say in the spur of the moment.
With that, she got out a pen and I signed the contract.
Saying goodbye to Clarisse was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. She is like my mother. When I told her the news she burst out crying, hugged me and said she was so proud. I started to cry too, what if I don't see her again?
... THURSDAY 12:03...
BUZZ BUZZ
I check my phone,
Princess Jin: (YN) you have to come over, NOW!"
Me: Okay, I'll be over in a second.
Since I'm already showered and dressed in my grey black leggings and long burnt orange jumper, all I have to do is chuck my essentials in my jumper pocket and head over to the guys' place.
On my way I play a different album by (favorite band) and sing along, letting all of my worries about tomorrow fade away.
When I get to the door, Kookie opens up and he looks sad. I step inside and see all the guys stood near the door with sad expressions, even Suga. Kookie closes the door and hugs me from the side, making both of my arms stick fast to my ribs.
Me: "What's going on guys?" I say, my worries coming back to me.
Jin: "We're going to be leaving for 9 weeks and won't see you until we get back, this is the last time we can see you until then and we are really going to miss you."
I give off a sigh of relief, nothing bad happened to them.
Suga looks at me, confused and then starts to yell at me angrily.
Suga: "SERIOUSLY? WE JUST TOLD YOU HOW WE HATE THE FACT THAT WE CAN'T SEE YOU FOR A LONG TIME AND YOU ARE HAPPY ABOUT IT?!"
I look at the other guys and they too have a pained expression on their faces. I look to rap monster and he looks away.
Me: "I'm not happy about it. I don't know a time when I have had more fun than with you guys." They look to me, "I have to go away because of work, either way, I wouldn't have been able to spend time with you, at least we will both be occupied."
J-Hope: "AND, we can skype."
Me: "Yes, we will."
Taetae: "Every day."
Me: "yes."
They all come towards me and smother me with their arms; getting hugged by 7 sad guys is very scary. I feel my shoulder getting slightly damp as I notice that Jimin is crying on me. Namjoon finds a way to push past a few of the guys and hug me from the front. As this happens Jin lets off a girly 'oooo, Namjoon likes-' which was stopped as he was kneed in the groin by the man.
*oh hey there, it's me ;) so... i am hopefully going to try and integrate a different POV from one of the characters withing the next few chapters aaaand yeh, that's it baiiii*
