Starstruck

"Now, what was all that shit you were talking earlier?" Xia yelled and folded her arms. She said she was going to be professional, but Jaebeom is getting on her nerves already. She glared at him and waited for Jaebeom to say what he needed to get off his chest.

Jaebeom turned around, eyed her for a brief moment. He leaned forward over the bar. "So, we're doing this at our job? In front of customers?" Jaebeom questioned his ex-girlfriend.

Xia's eyebrows rose because why was he bothered by her interaction with the talent tonight. She could easily move on to anyone else because he left the door open for her to do that.

"Yes, your text messages were rude. I am single now, and that's because you chose that for us," she pointed a finger at him. "Now, you are worried about me with someone else? You are the one that doesn't want me," Xia rubbed her temples. She didn't give a fuck who heard her.

"You know I need the financial help from my parents," Jaebeom tried to whisper, and Xia could tell he was embarrassed.

"Only because you're too scared to be a producer. You could make so much money, but you keep playing it safe. I am not going to play it safe anymore," Xia said.

"You aren't going anywhere. You are stuck here at Sugar & Spice just like me," Jaebeom laughed at her.

"Whatever, you will see," Xia rolled her eyes. She wasn't going to do a lot of talking, but rather show him.

Bam Bam came over and said, "Hey, Xia. Your table is asking for you, "Bam interrupted them and looked over at Jaebeom and back at Xia. "My bad, are y'all okay?" Bam looked at them, confused.

"Get your girl, Bam. You would think someone who lived in Korea most of their lives would get how things work here," Jaebeom threw shade at Xia.

"Fuck you! I shouldn't have given you a chance. You are a such a momma's boy," Xia stormed off from the bar area and went back to check on Jinyoung and Jackson.

She exhaled and tried to shake off the negative energy from her pointless conversation with Jaebeom. She returned to their table with a smile. "I am back. I had to handle a few things. Did Bam take care of you guys?" Xia looked at both of the men to make sure things were going good.

"Yes, everything is good. I just wanted to know if I could take you out since you are single," Jinyoung boldly asked her.

Xia's jaw slightly dropped, and she looked at Jackson out of the corner of her eye. She thought he would say something, but he stared up at her waiting for her response.

"That's sweet of you, but I am not looking for anything right now," Xia tried to let him down easy. The man is definitely aesthetically pleasing, and he seems sweet but right now is not the time to get wrapped up with anyone.

"Hello, everyone! My name is Bangchan, and I am super excited to be here. I want to dedicate this song to a special lady named Xia," Xia's heart started racing. Everyone knew the song was about her, and she feels everyone looking at her.

"Seems like you have a lot of admirers, Xia," Jackson winked at her.

"I.... had no idea he would do that," Xia turned her attention to the stage to see him. There he was, and it was like a white aura was around him.

The lights dimmed, and Chris focused his attention on her. Jackson's table wasn't too far away from the stage, but it felt like no one was in the room while he sang the song.

This world has up and gone crazy
I'm out here working trying to make it
Girl, it's so rough in this city
There ain't no resting for the weary
So baby feel me
I need something to feel
So my spirit can heal
