Back to Y/N's POV...

I signed my contract with YG and JYP a week ago and had been going in to work at the YG building; writing lyrics, meeting the producers and composers, deciding on concepts etc. But, today I was going to JYPE, to meet all their staff that I'd be working with, and I'd be meeting JYP himself for the first time!

I got to the building and was at the reception talking to the receptionist, a lovely woman in her mid 20's.
"It's an honour to have you here Y/N, welcome to JYP, follow me to to Park Jinyoung's office." She said as she got up off her seat and guided me to the lift, on our way to JYP's office.
"Thank you so much. It's so amazing to see how the big companies produce music, are any of the artists in today?" I asked as she pushed the button to the top floor.
"I'm not sure, only a few members of certain groups have checked in so far, but GOT7 should be here soon. You might see them around today."
Interesting, I hadn't seen them in a while, and hadn't texted Yugyeom or Jackson. Or even Jungkook. Come to think of it, I hadn't been on social media for the past week either and completely forgot that the paparazzi spotted me and Yugyeom together!

"Here we are." The receptionist said as we walked out of the lift and down the hallway, until we were outside JYP's office door. She knocked twice and said,
"Sir, I have Y/N here for you."
"Ah, come in!" He said and she opened the door for me to walk in.
"I'll take my leave now." She said as she bowed to us both. I walked in, the office was once again, breathtaking.
"Sir, nice to finally meet you! I'm Y/N." I said as I bowed.

"Nice to finally meet you, Miss Y/N." He said as he ushered me to take a seat by his desk.

"So how's it been for you in Korea, working with YG?" He asked.

"Really interesting. It's different from making music in the US. More organised and clean cut."

"Yeah, it is, the workload may be more than you're used to, are you ready for that?" He asked.

"One hundred percent sir!" I replied with a grin of confidence.

"Great." He replied with a smile.

We spoke about my music and all the work I'd be doing to make an album at JYP for the next half hour. After that, I left his office to look for one of the recording studios in the building.

The place was a maze, I was finding it hard to find the place I was looking for. All of a sudden I saw a well dressed, tall guy, walking the opposite way from me down the hall, with his earphones in. As we got closer, he slowly looked up.

"Yugyeom? Hey!" I said happily, finally recognising him.
"Y-Y/N?" He looked so surprised. My smile faded when I saw his expression. He looked surprised, but not happy surprised.
"What? You're not happy to see me?" I asked, half serious, half joking.
"W-well I'm just confused as to why you'd be here, I thought you went back to the US..."
"It's a long story but I never left! I signed a contract with JYP and YG to make an album or two here!"

"W-wow, that's great for you, congratulations!"

Why didn't I feel like he was happy at the thought? He just looked so shocked at everything I said. I realised, maybe it's because I hadn't messaged him since we became friends.

"Oh, Yugyeom. I'm sorry I never messaged you or anything. I was just really busy with all this new work, I hadn't looked at or sent any texts to anyone because of how busy I was!" I apologised sincerely.
"You sure? You sure that's the reason you never messaged me? Not cus I'm too immature to text?" He said bluntly.

It really hurt when he said that, and I didn't know where this sudden 'anger' of his came from.
"W-what? What do you me-"

"Y/N? Y/N!" Said a figure who was at the end of the hallway, running towards us, and cutting me off.
Yugyeom looked back and rolled his eyes.
"Jackson! Hey." I said, unaware that I was acting shy. My tone automatically changed when talking to Jackson. I didn't want to be too casual, but not too formal either, as he was a few years older than me.
"Y/N, I got told you're working with our company to make music! That means I get to see you more." He said the last sentence in a subtle but sexy tone. It gave me goosebumps.
"Yeah I guess you will." I replied.
Yugyeom started to look really irritated, and I was feeling uneasy.
"Also, why haven't you answered my text yet?"
"O-oh! I actually haven't really been on my phone to talk to people all week, shall I read it now?" I said, getting my phone out of my bag.
"No need." Jackson replied.
He signalled Yugyeom to leave, and Yugyeom hesitated, but slowly began walking away.

I turned around to slowly watch him walk off. I don't know why I did that.
"Y/N." Jackson whispered, and I turned back round to face him. I could hear Yugyeom's slow steps behind me.
"Will you go on a date with me?"

Oh God.

I wanted to say yes, but I knew that Yugyeom, the guy that I told the PUBLIC was my celeb crush, was still in the hallway listening. I didn't tell him that I wasn't interested in him because there was no need. We both didn't say we had feelings for each other anyway, just celeb crushes, right? So I didn't have to explain anything. I don't know why I was overthinking it.

I gave my reply, "Sure."
Jackson smiled.

The footsteps behind me got quicker. I turned around, and Yugyeom was gone.

"Is this weekend good for you? I'll take you to watch a movie?"

"That'd be perfect! I love movies!" I replied.

"Perfect, and answer my texts next time!" He said while walking away. I smiled, quite excited to see what it would be like to go out with Jackson. However, I was still worried about what happened with me and Yugyeom...

After a few seconds, I realised I was still lost and needed help to find the room.

"H-hey Jackson wait a minute!!!" I said as I ran to him to help me out.
