Thursday, 1st November
Yoongi was done with his meeting with the music producer when he checked his messages. The messages from Jae was weird and cryptic.
Jae: You're so cute
Jae: Oh no! No!!!!
Okay, what brought that on? He went on reading the next message.
Jae: I know you're funny but not that over the top funny.
Jae: I didn't know that you hate heights
Jae: Awww poor oppa
Jae: That looks fun!!
Jae: My, my, you're a great cook too
Jae: Your knife skills, I like
Jae: I'm torn in laughing for you and laughing at you. Am I making any sense? Don't hate me but you're really cute in that suit
Jae: I'm rooting for you all the way!
Yoongi could guess where that came from. He went into his studio and dialed her up. She should be home now.
"Oppa, hi!" greeted Jae as she picked up the phone. She sounded breathless.
"Hi, Jae. What were you doing? Were you exercising?" asked Yoongi.
"Inside my room? No, I would end up hitting something. I hit the treasure trove," announced Jae happily.
"Treasure trove? What kind are you talking about?"
"I have just discovered Run BTS and I'm binge watching as much as I could. Can't stop laughing to be honest. I was too busy before to know that this show exists."
Yoongi rubbed his temple. He suspected as much. "Glad to provide you entertainment," replied him wryly. "How did the meeting go?" he asked, referring to the meeting that she was supposed to attend in the morning.
"I went there bleary eyed after my shift at the store ended. It was good. Went through some negotiation on the contract and they would send me the game reel as soon as they could. Have to go there again to finalize and sign the contract," said Jae.
"Have you slept?" asked Yoongi.
"I did but my body clock is still tuned to the job at Big Hit. Was wide awake at 12. Then I had to find food at the kitchen."
"What did you have?"
"My typical brunch – rice, kimchi and fried egg. Chan-Ri eonnie gave me some seasoned spinach last night. Stored that in my mini fridge. Are you on intermittent fasting?" inquired Jae.
"Yes, I am. It would probably go to the drain when we started touring,"
"Why so?" asked Jae.
"I would be famished after the show and rice is what I would be looking for. I won't be thinking much about calorie deficit at that point. I was not kidding when I told you few months ago that I eat a lot," admitted Yoongi.
"But you'd burn thousands of calories on stage. I won't matter that much, right?"
"Not really. All those extra calories will go straight up to my cheek and thighs," stated Yoongi.
"Anyway, how was your day?"
"Had a meeting with the producer but with the amount of the dance practice we're going through now, had to squeeze in the time before that. I would be flat out after the practice."
"I know your job is physically and mentally intense, but take care of yourself. Don't get yourself injured," said Jae, concerned.
"That is definitely the first in all of our list. Can't work well when we're hurt," agreed Yoongi.
"Your voice too," Jae added. "Can't perform if you have laryngitis."
"Got that right. I have to go. Got to head out for practice," said Yoongi.
"You're driving there?" she asked.
"Yes. I had to come to the company for the meeting. Honestly, I miss seeing you around here," confessed Yoongi.
"Oppa, we were together yesterday," reminded Jae.
"Can't help that I still miss you," said Yoongi.
"We can meet up at the restaurant," suggested Jae.
"I didn't ask you, when is your day off there?"
"Tuesday," said Jae.
"The restaurant is closed on that day? Most restaurant would close on Sunday or Monday."
"It's Ki-Tae oppa idea of reaping from other restaurant's day off. He's a bit eccentric that way but it works. We got lots of customers on that day despite being located in a working district," said Jae.
"I really have to go now. Take care," said Yoongi.
"You too," replied Jae as she ended up the call. She returned to her laptop and continued watching Run BTS. She had a couple of hours to kill before going to the restaurant.
She could get 4 episodes done within that time.
