chapter 3

Minho POV

Scrolling through my phone when I hear a pop-up notifications of latest news today.

Headline: Malaysian Worldwide Artist J. One are now announce his departure from his agency and never to pursue his career again.

That news was so shocking like I do know J. One because I am his songwriter but the fact that I wrote many other song for his next release are not longer to be hear in worldwide because he quit.

Is this the Reason why his secretary didn't bother to mail me in the past 3 months?  It is because of his departure. "I see" I slowly hummed and back to my working table.

I grab a big box and lebel it as 'J'S song piece' as I gonna keep it until I met him someday even he didn't know anything about me.

I ask my brother felix on the other side of the room to join me on my strolling on the night market nearby our apartment. Felix is the one recording all the demo songs I sent to J. One. I always want my identity hidden from anyone else just like a  ninja.

"Hyung, did you already knew the news about our client? " he asked while picking some fresh fruits on a stall that we stop.
"Yes, sadly I can't give the last songs I've come up because he cut ties with me. " I reply as I pick fruits also.

We buy many food as we can to stuff all our empty refrigerator.
"lix, it already 8 pm but we haven't eat yet"before he could protest I grab him to a small shop of seafood restaurants.
"okay felix,  did you decide what food you want "  " yep!  I take a grilled lobster with a fried rice" he said enthusiastically as I waved at the waiter.
We take one grilled lobster with fried rice and one plate of chessy scallops.
While finding my wallet I remember that I forgot to bring my wallet. "We. Are.doomed" I mouthed felix and He knew what I was trying to say so I grab his phone. "hello?  Yes,  yes, WHAT!? Omg hyung huhuhuhu. " he said dramatically and I almost laugh at him because he was a bad actor but it seems the waiter was worried about us so he asked " Is something wrong sir? " "ah yes my dog has a severe pain on his paws because of his terminal condition. Sorry but we really have to go." felix gently wipes hus fake tears and stand for our sit and gesture me to got up.  I bow to the waiter and apologize on behalf of my brother's lie.

"What the heck hyung!?" stompping his feet like an 5 year old child that need to get what he want.
"Sorry lix, I forgot my wallet but my credit card are with me so I will going to withdraw. Just wait for me here at the park I will be fast." I walked to find a ATM machine but I've got nothing.

I finally find one and what a lucky day because there was no line in this atm so I quickly run over to it. Unfortunately I was blocked by another man that was already enter his card to the matchine I was so mad that point because my brother was waiting for me almost like an half hour probably he was going to kill me if I going back.

After an minutes pass he was finished and he turned and bow at me.
"hi! Sorry for my rudeness I know you are the one who saw the ATM but I need to withdraw as fast as I could."
He smile bright and widely at me and I was almost seeing stars I the night when I got a good sight of him.
I can't believe HE IS J. ONE
