Into You

Taekwoon's POV

I can't stop thinking about Ravi's offer as I make his coffee this morning.

I still have a few days before I have to make my decision but it's really been pushing itself to the front of my mind recently.

If I did take up the offer, would Hakyeon and Hongbin hate me for it?

I mean I would get paid more and I would be basically dumping this job onto them.

That simply wouldn't be right.

But this would really help me to afford having Nayoung at my place. Things wouldn't be as tight as they are now.

Yes we manage to get along with it fine but it's always nice having a bit of leeway.

I finish the drink and hand it to Ravi's manager. He goes to walk away but I call out. He stops and turns to face me.

"Is it possible for me to meet with Ravi today? To discuss his offer."

"He's free now. For an hour. If you want, you can come to see him now while he gets ready for his first schedule." He tells me softly.

Hongbin and Hakyeon have arrived but they are getting milk from the store.

They wouldn't notice if I was gone for a little bit.

I follow the manager out of the cafe and up to the fifth floor where Ravi is in the recording studio, he has ear plugs in as he fiddled with something on his laptop.

The manager hands him his coffee. He smiles and sips it before realising that I am here.

"Taekwoon, hi" he greets me and I bow my head slightly. The manager leaves the room with the phone pressed against his ear.

"How can I help?" Ravi asks me with a grin and I smile softly back.

"I've been thinking about your offer a lot recently" I state and his smile widens.

"And?"

"I think it would be good for me to say yes."

"So is that a yes?"

"Yes."

He stands from his seat and pats my shoulder happily. He takes another sip of his drink and pulls his phone from his pocket.

"I'll need your number as I am now your boss" he opens a new contact and hands the device to me so I can let in my details.

Once I have finished I give it back and he presses dial. My phone rings and I pull it from my back pocket.

"Make sure you save the number. And don't make some stupid name for me. Ravi is fine."

I nod slowly as I make his contact name to his stage name and save it too my phone.

"Do you want to start today?" He questions me and I look at the door as though someone will walk in and give me the answer.

"I guess I can" I sound slightly hesitant but either he doesn't notice or chooses to ignore it.

He unplugs his ear phones and hits the space bar. A song begins to play, one that I haven't heard before.

His voice soon begins to rap and that's when I realise that this is one of his new songs which are yet to come out.

"We are filming part of the music video today. I think you'll enjoy watching it." He explains with another grin.

"When do we leave?" Is all I ask. He shuts his laptop and opens the door to the studio.
