Comeback

Whats the worst thing you've ever done?

"Good work guys!"

Chaerin sat in the corner of the dance studio as Ji Yong addressed his troupe of backup dancer. They'd been here for the last four hours, running the same song over and over again. She didn't know how they did it, if anyone made her rehearse the same song this many times she'd probably kill them. Diverting her attention from Ji Yong and his loyal entourage of dancers, she opened up instagram and began mindlessly scrolling through. Lots of fashion blogs, music, friends (Dongwoo had dyed his hair blue), London friends, Mike...... Chaerin stared at the cheerful looking guy standing on the edge of a cliff overlooking an amazing blue ocean. He was smiling, the same smile he had when she had seen him on the stage for the first time. See, he's happy without Chaerin. Just grow up...

"Chaerin? Earth to Chaerin"

She was pulled away from her thoughts by a very sweaty Ji Yong. He stood over her, his face very close to her. He's testing you. Don't get worked up. Smiling she looked up at him, almost taking him off guard. "Yes, Ji Yong-ssi. What can I do for you?"

It was clear Ji Yong was disappointed with her reaction, "I'm hungry".

Chaerin smiled again, "I'll go and get you something. What would you like?"

"I've finished now. Lets go and eat now".

Chaerin nodded. Standing up she bowed politely to all the dancers, "Thank you for your time. Sleep well and we'll see you all tomorrow. Hwaiting!" Though she was only Ji Yong's manager, she was also YG's daughter and treating the employees well was a basic. Plus, it pissed off Ji Yong.

"Do you seriously have to do that every time I practice?" Ji Yong grumbled as they stood in the elevator. "It's really bad for my image."

Chaerin sighed, "how is it bad, me thanking people for working hard?"

Ji Yong hung his head. He knew there was no way of explaining it. "Don't worry" 

Chaerin smiled. Like Teddy had said, this was working perfectly. They'd been working closely together for the last month and nothing had happened. It was only two more weeks before Chaerin was set to start university and by then she'd have at least some space to breathe and have fun. The doors opened and she escorted Ji Yong out to the waiting van.

"I want to have sushi" he demanded, almost childlike. "And I want to get it from that nice place in Hongdae.

Great! Chaerin thought, Hongdae. It was in the opposite direction from his apartment and at least a 20 minute drive from the office. "Sure Ji Yong", she opened the online menu, showing it to Ji Yong, "what do you want?"

*********

Struggling under the shear quantity of Ji Yong's order, Chaerin carefully exited the restaurant. One would think Ji Yong was having a party with the amount of food he ordered. She could feel him smiling as finally made it to the van, without dropping anything she swung the door open a placed box after box on the spare seat before sitting down without so much as a glance at Ji Yong.

They drove in silence, Ji Yong with his head phones on and Chaerin on her phone, checking the schedule for tomorrow. It was his album release and comeback performance tomorrow and Chaerin knew she had to be mindful to not forget anything. "You have a hair appointment at 9 am, so I'm going to be outside at 8:30 sharp. Please make sure you're down stairs by then..."

"Tell me this later", Ji Yong took off his headphones.

"What do you mean later? We're nearly at your house".

"Yeah, but we still have to eat." Ji Yong insisted. Chaerin did a mental head slap. Of course, that's why he ordered so much.

"Ji Yong, I have to go home", she replied.

"Why?"

"I have a meeting with YG".

He hung his head. "Right".

Chaerin forced a smile. "You need to rest anyway". She looked at her phone. I'd better make this quick. "So I'll pick you up at 8:30am. Do you need a wake up call?"

Ji Yong shook his head. Now he's upset. Picking up his bags, he slid out of the van and made his way to the entrance to his apartment complex. Chaerin couldn't help but feel sorry, his shoulders seemed so heavy.

"Okay", she turned to the driver, not wanting to look at him anymore. "Let's go go go!"

 

* * * * *

"And the winner is GDRAGON!!" The pretty mc shouted into the mic, as the other artists applauded half-heartedly. Ji Yong smiled, before accepting the trophy and taking the mic.

Inside the waiting room Chaerin couldn't help but smile. Well done bastard.

"I'd like to thank YG, Teddy, Kush and all the people who worked super hard on my album. I'd also like to thank my new manager", he winked into the camera. "And to all my fans and people who brought my album, you guys are best!"

Chaerin froze, did he? She rubbed her eyes, she'd barely got any sleep that night, with her father insisting she stay up and double check everything for tomorrow. Besides his comeback, Ji Yong was also hosting an album launch/birthday party for 300 of his closest friends and industry connections. Chaerin had spent the last week making sure everything was perfect. She'd booked out a whole club and restaurant. Plus hired only the best chiefs, dancers and DJ's. "He's my main boy", her father had said, "spare no expense". Now she sat in the waiting room enjoying the last bit of peace and quiet....

"Haha! I won!" Ji Yong literally ran into the room. "Did you see Dokk Chae? Did you see me win?"

"No" she lied. "I was sleeping till somebody woke me up".

Ji Yong pouted. "I don't believe it. I even thanked her" he mumbled. 

"What was that?" Chaerin pretended to not hear.

"Nothing", he pulled off his jacket, exposing a flimsy white singlet that showed off his muscular arms and toned sides. 

Chaerin swallowed before mentally slapping herself. Its Ji Yong. Damn girl you've been man deprived for too long. Ever since she had taken the job, she'd played by her father's rules and kept a fair distance from guys. Just till I get my own place, then she smiled all bets are off

She was so kept up in her future fantasy that she failed to notice that Ji Yong had gotten dressed and was already waiting for her. 

"If you don't mind" he scoffed, "I'd rather not be late to my own party".

Chaerin grimaced, he'd caught  her.  "Fine big star, let's go go go!"

 

*******

 

Chaerin stood outside the venue, she didn't really want to go in so she'd made some lie to Ji Yong that she had to call someone re: something important.  He'd pouted but still had let her stay, "you better not run away!" He had warned her. 

How can I? You're like a rash

She sighed leaning against the lobby wall. The restaurant was five stories tall and naturally Ji Yong had got level five. She pulled out her phone, trying to find something to entertain herself with for the next few hours. The aim was to show up just as they had to leave, Ji Yong to the club, then disappear into the night. She smiled, it was fool proof.

"Chaerin-ssi"

!

"Chaerin is that you?" A deep and masculine voice interrupted her thoughts.  

Chaerin slowly peered up at the stranger who seemed to know her. She couldn't help but freeze as those y eyes stared down at her. "Seunghyun-ssi"

"Now now, since when were we ever formal Chaerin", his chuckle brought a smile to her face. "Thats more like it". He sat down next to her, his thigh brushing hers, "Chaerin, I'm upset".

"Why is that?"

He grabbed her face in his hands, forcing her to stare directly into his eyes, "you only gave me half your number. As much as I had the desire to call you, I couldn't". He grinned, "I've been so frustrated the last few weeks".

"Really?" Chaerin responded, "I thought you'd be fine. Having your puck of the bunch".

"But they can't compare to you".

Chaerin laughed, "too high class?"

"Quite the opposite actually" Seunghyun hadn't stopped looking at her. 

"What do you mean?"

"They're fine for a one off, club screw. But you're the kind of girl I'd want to take out to a high class restaurant and afterwards your brains out".

Chaerin suppressed her smile, "charming".

"There's something about you Chaerin, you're no actress, but somehow you got more class then they do. You're a complete bad girl, but you're not a ".

"Its called having control" she muttered, wishing it was true in all aspects of her life. "Anyway", she said, changing the topic, "what are you doing here?" 

Seunghyun grinned, "I've got a super famous friends birthday party". He placed his hand on her knee, "do you want to come with?"

Chaerin froze, he was here for Ji Yong's birthday.  She mentally slapped herself, of course, she'd found out that they were friends that first night in the club. Before she could object her phone rang. It was her father, ordering her to go up to the party. She sighed.  

"Whats wrong princess?" Seunghyun moved even closer to her. 

"Nothing", she smiled turning to face him, "lets go".

They rode the elevator comfortably, Seunghyun dropping in the occasional suggestion that they should take a detour to the bathroom for some fun and Chaerin openly rejecting him. 

"You're playing hard to get Chaerin", he grabbed her hand just as the elevator doors opened, "looks like I'll have to try another tactic", and with that he pulled her through the door and into the party.

"Seunghyun hyung! You made it...." Ji Yong's voice trailed off as he caught sight of Chaerin and their hands which were still firmly linked.

"Of course, I wouldn't miss it" he released Chaerin's hand as he strolled over to hug his dongseng. "Happy birthday Ji Yong ah!"

Ji Yong thanked his hyung, but his eyes were still firmly on Chaerin. "How do you know Chaerin-ssi?"

Seunghyun chuckled, before leaning in, "remember that amazing girl in the club the night you flew back?" He whispered so the people around them couldn't hear, "I found her again". He smirked, "she's everything I could want in a buddy". 

Chaerin couldn't hear what was going on, but judging from Ji Yong's reactions, Seunghyun was filling him in on the night they met. 

"Chaerin-ah!"  Her father appeared suddenly behind her, "where have you been?" 

Chaerin sighed and prepared herself for a long lecture. 

"So how do you know Chaerin?" Seunghyun was a little confused that Ji Yong knew who his lady of the night was. 

"She's my manager.." he began just as Chaerin got an earful from YG, "... and she's YG's daughter". 

Seunghyun's jaw dropped, "she's our president's daughter, that daughter?"

Ji Yong took a deep breath, "yes". 

Seunghyun smiled, "Ji my man, this is getting better and better". He looked at Chaerin being reprimanded by YG. "Who would've thought miss goody two shoes daughter would have turned out so..." he paused as he admired her body, "....fine".

"Keep your hands off her" Ji Yong growled. 

"Woah Ji, you're acting like her dad". Seunghyun patted him on the back, "anyway, it's more like she can't keep her hands off me". 

"Screw you" Ji Yong muttered under his breath. 

"Well I'd hate to leave you on your birthday, but I need to go and talk to my potential father-in-law" Seunghyun grinned.

"Father-in-law my "

"Don't be bitter Ji, you've had at least a month to work your magic", Seunghyun walked away from his friend and headed towards Chaerin.

 

For the next few hours Ji Yong was in a bad mood, distracted by Seunghyun constant attention to Chaerin. He'd claimed a seat next to her at the table after a pretty smooth chat with YG where he'd proceeded to engage in all forms of skinship possible. He'd had put his hand over her shoulder, on her leg, he'd even pinched her cheek and Ji Yong couldn't help but feel frustrated, but he knew the outcome wouldn't be good for either him or Chaerin, so instead he sat there, counting down the time to when they would leave. At least in the club he could get Chaerin one-on-one without all the attention.

"So, what time do you finish work today?" Seunghyun whispered in Chaerin's ear, "I was thinking we could get reacquainted with the V.I.P rooms". He raised an eyebrow in question, staring deep into her eyes.

Chaerin didn't bat an eyelid, "I though you wanted to take me out to a nice dinner?"

"We can do that later".

"Hmmm..." She turned her attention away from him and looked over in Ji Yong's direction who was still staring at her. What was his problem? She looked away to check her phone and freaked out at two missed calls from the clubbing venue, probably inquiring about when they would be arriving. She excused herself from Seunghyun and the rest of the table, quickly leaving the room she called the number back.

"Who are you calling?"

Chaerin turned around to find herself inches from Ji Yong's face. "Woah!" She practically screamed. Composing herself she responded, "the club, for your party". She took a step back from Ji Yong.

"What about the club?" Ji Yong closed the gap again with a step. The whole thing was making Chaerin incredibly uncomfortable.

"They want to know when you're coming", she said whilst not breaking eye contact. She took another step back.

Ji Yong responded with yet another step forward. "That depends".

"On what?"

"You."

"What about me?" Chaerin quickly stepped back again, her back hitting against the hard wall. "Ouch!"

"Are you", Ji Yong took another step forward, "going to spend it with Seunghyun?"

"What do you mean?" Chaerin froze.

"Don't bull me Chae", he hit the wall behind her, "I know all about your little arrangement".

"Then why are you being like this?" She looked up at him just as he roughly grabbed her chin, forcing his lips on her. Chaerin tried to push away, but he had secured her against the wall with his whole body. As the kiss deepened she began to give up, letting Ji Yong do what he wanted. When he finally pulled back with a big boyish grin on his face, she shoved him, hard. "Don't ever do that again! I am not your toy, I am not something you can play with. If you touch me again, I swear, I don't care if you're my father's pride, I will kill you!" She stormed off down the stairs.

"Why can he do it then?" Ji Yong yelled after her.

"Because I let him." She stopped and looked up at Ji Yong, who was leaning against the handrail. "Get ready to leave in 20 minutes".

 

* * * * *

The next morning Chaerin woke up with a pounding headache. It was almost nostalgic of her London days. She fumbled around, finally finding her phone on the floor. Checking her timetable, she smiled. Today was her day off, with Ji Yong's launch last night she had earned some rest time. Rolling back into the bed, her back collided with something solid, something warm and body like. Chaerin pulled back the covers to find a sleeping Ji Yong....

.....!
