Let's Link

Jaebeom clocked into work and thought about what he just left. If Bangchan never showed up, would she have done more with him? It wasn't like he was looking to sleep with her, but he could tell she felt him in that moment.

But, a part of him felt a little bothered that she went into the bedroom with that guy. She hardly knows this man, and yet again, she's messing around with him. Maybe he should give up on trying to get Xia back.

Jaebeom prepped his bar area and decided to focus on tonight. The club still has to work, and he can't be worried about anything.

"Hey JB," Jaebeom looked up to hear a familiar voice. He was surprised to see this woman at the club. He couldn't remember the last time he saw her.

"Songlee, what are you doing here?" Jaebeom asked. He leaned over the bar. Was she hear to tell him something about Chemin? He looked at his phone, and he didn't receive anything from Xia.

"I am just checking out the place because I am going to be taking it over soon," Songlee looked around.

"Umm, you haven't met with Junie yet, have you?" Jaebeom asked.

"This is my father's club, and he's sick in the hospital. So, I will be running things. I have tons of plans, and I am going to run things the way it should be," Songlee said.

"Well, you are going to have to talk to the current owner, Xia. She's the owner while Chemin is out," Jaebeom informed her.

"Xia? Says who?" Songlee laughed.

"Your father had it in writing. No offense, but you are never around. You don't know anything about the club," Jaebeom said.

"I know all I need to know. I grew up at the club. Anyway, I need to talk to Xia because she should just give me ownership. I mean, nobody is going to want to do business with her," Songlee said.

"You might not like Xia, but she can run this club with her eyes closed. She's been doing it for years now," Jaebeom defended her. He wasn't going to let anyone talk bad about her.

"I mean, the only reason why anyone would want to do business with her is that they want to sleep with her. I mean, isn't that why you picked her over me?" Songlee asked.

"Don't talk about her like that. You know she's a beautiful person. You are just jealous," he said. "Yeah, jealous because my father always thinks of her instead of me. I am starting to think maybe she's fucking my dad too," Songlee said.

"You know she isn't like that. Anyways, you can go in the back and talk with Junie. So, you can see that your father left Xia in charge," Jaebeom said.

"I trust you."

"How's he doing? Have you seen him?" Jaebeom asked.

"No, I haven't seen him. His daughter is Xia, not me. Well, let me go talk to Junie anyway," she said.

I went into the back to see if G. Soul had arrived yet. I knocked on his dressing room, and he opened the door.

"JB! It's so good to see you, man," G. Soul dapped up Jaebeom. "Come in. You doing okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, I am fine. I know you heard about Chemin," Jaebeom said.

"I did. I am going to keep him in my thoughts and prayers. Chemin is a legend. Because of him, so many people have been discovered. How's Xia holding up?" G. Soul asked.

"She's doing okay. She requested a song," JB said.

"Anything for Xia. Let me guess she wants to say No Way. I know that's one of her favorite songs," G. Soul said.

"Yep, you know her. I should have brought Lee Hi, but she was busy. Are you still making music? I haven't seen any new uploads to your SoundCloud," he said.

"I mean, I enjoy singing, but I love producing more. I have been thinking of a way to approach Park Jinyoung, but I don't want it to be weird," Jaebeom said.

"I get it, man, but I know he comes here with Jackson sometimes. Don't be shy, man. You are talented. You deserve to have your music heard," G. Soul said.

"I appreciate that," he said.

"Let's link next week. Come through the studio and play me some songs. Bring Xia too. I would love to see her," G. Soul said.

It wasn't like he never been in the studio with G. Soul and brought Xia along. It's just that he didn't know if she would come along for that.

"I'll check with her and see what she says," Jaebeom said.

"Bring some hits too. I might use them on my next mixtape," he said.

"Good look," Jaebeom said. "I'll have my assistant send you an invite. It's going to be fun," G. Soul said.

"Nice, I can't wait. Did you need anything? Usually, Xia is here to take care of that, but I don't mind helping you," Jaebeom said.

"Nah, man, I am good, but thank you," he said. Jaebeom left out his dressing room and felt good about their conversation. Maybe, he didn't have to work with Xia's new boyfriend. It would be so much better if he didn't have to. He reached in his pocket and grabbed his phone, and texted Xia.

Jaebeom: Xi-Xi! Guess who wants to hang out with you?

Xia: Uh... Bam Bam?

Jaebeom: No, G. Soul has invited us to his studio next week.

Xia: Oh shit! It's been so long since we've been! Oh my god! When?

Jaebeom: His assistant will send me the details. So will you come?

Xia: Fuck, yes! I love those private concerts he does for us. G. Soul is the best. Wait, are you going to play songs for him?

Jaebeom: Yes, that's what he wants

Xia: Jaeeeee!! Oh my god.. congrats! Yes, we are definitely going! This is so good for you! I knew G. Soul was going to put you on one day..

Jaebeom: Aww, thanks. I am nervous as hell.

Xia: Don't be!

Jaebeom: I know, but I just really want to get my music out there..

Xia: Well, you are making a good step by connecting with G. Soul..

Jaebeom: Is your boyfriend going to let you go?

Xia: JB... stop he's not my boyfriend..

Jaebeom: Well, let me know if he gives you permission.

Xia: I am going to be there! Anything happening at the club?

Jaebeom: Your evil stepsister came here saying she's going to run the club

Xia: She's not my sister! That bitch probably hasn't even seen Chemin. Ugh, I am coming up there..

Jaebeom: No, you don't need to get arrest for beating up Songlee

Xia: Fine, just makes sure the staff doesn't fall for her lies..

Jaebeom: I got you, babe..

Xia:  Here you go🙈

Jaebeom: I am getting you back but have fun with him for now..
