He narrowed his eyes, analyzing the girl in front of him.

"How do you know what my job is?"

"Y-your mother said in an interview, but that's not important now...!"

Johnny clearly saw her get embarrassed, even if it was for a slightest second.

"Ok, first of all, I want to know what exactly you meant with: 'do whatever I ask'."

"In short, you will be my driver, personal trainer, butler or whatever..." she gestured with a smile.

"So, basically I'll be your slave?" a frown.

"I can't hire anyone because of the company, they believe they will spread rumors or do bad things like scamming and, yeah, you know, things like that." Rebecca crossed her arms. "My manager is a little too exaggerated sometimes"

"I don't know, from what I've been reading and seeing on internet, if they are your fans in disguise, they're going to do just that... No, wait, wait, wait a minute" a grimace trying to focus on what really mattered at that moment. "But why are you threatening me? I don't see any sense yet"

"First of all, it would make my life a lot easier and you also couldn't say or do anything to hurt me, otherwise your family's image would collapse too. Besides that, with the hiatus I will also be bored... And obviously, you deserve to be punished for what you put me through."

"What have I done now?"

Because of his friends always complaining about his mistakes, Johnny from now on preferred to ask before defending himself. However, by his response, Yuri gave him a surprised face that turned red with anger.

"And you don't even remember?!" she bit her lip trying to control the tone of voice "You're heartless...!"

"No seriously, hold on" Johnny put his hands on his waist, and closed his eyes briefly. "Nothing... I can't think of anything. I think you're mistaken... It's better to calm down so as not to make bad decisions" he raised his eyebrows, while shaking his head up and down lightly.

"Forget it... In time, you will remember" she still looked at him uncomfortably.

"Tsk..." his eyes moved from her head to toe. "So, are you going to make me do all that by just receiving your silence as payment?"

"That's what I said, didn't I...?" she really stopped to be sure.

"I have a child to feed now, be more empathetic... Are you going to do this to a child Rebecca? What a terrible person..." he shook his head.

"Alright, alright, I'll pay for your services as a personal trainer. Better now?

"I'm unemployed, you'll turn me into a slave and still will pay me almost nothing?" disgusted, Johnny widened his eyes. "I'm going to lose it..." a nervous laugh. "I can't... If that's the case, then better expose the secret. That way at least I can look for a job and the child doesn't starve..." murmured waiting for the girl's reaction.

"No, wait!" she grabbed his arm on impulse quickly releasing him a bit embarrassed. "I'll pay you the hours you work, okay?"

For some reason, which Johnny didn't know, Yuri didn't seem to want to threaten him with bad intentions. With a chuckle, the taller one reached her right hand in a handshake.

"You said it, there's no turning back now. My mother has eyes all over the place. You were caught on camera, now you have to comply." a lie just to tease the girl.

"Who does that?!" worried, Yuri looked around somewhat shrunken.

Johnny, in his turn, laughed at that; the little airhead from high school was still there. For some reason he couldn't get mad by that situation in which she had put him. At first, he felt threatened, but it was only until he managed to control the conversation in his favor. Rebecca was still naive. Johnny was almost broke and borrowing money from his mother would cost him the apartment. Maybe that was exactly what he needed while waiting for more news from Jaehyun's father decision. The only problem, and to make it more difficult, was that the singer had discovered his family's secret. She didn't seem to know everything, at least one positive point for Johnny's side.
