Chapter Nine : His Dream

Yeojung slowly opened her eyes as she felt the strong sunlight penetrating her eyelids, forcing her to wake up. She didn't want to though. The soft, fluffy bed forbidded her to get up. But, her eyes shot open when she recalled on what happened the night before. The drinking, the laughs and...the studio. She blinked a few times before groaning as her head was in pain. She hated being hungover. Then she climbed out of the bed and looked around the room. This seemed like the guest room because there wasn't anything too fancy inside; a shelf of books and decorations, an empty desk and a large bed.

She pushed the door knob down and opened the door slowly, trying to peep through the small gap between the door and wall. Jehoon was still there on the couch lying with his feet up against the cushion and head against the armrest. Meanwhile, the owner of this place was nowhere to be found.

The coldness of the whole apartment shook her. They forgot to switch on the heater the night before and for sure everyone was freezing at the moment. She then walked through the hallway where she remembered everything about last night. She bit her lips as she felt heat rushing against her cheeks; how the hell did she end up in that beautiful bed? Did Jiyong carry her? She couldn't remember anything beside playing the keyboard inside his private studio.

Seeing the door beside her own bedroom, which was separated by a hallway that leads to the studio, she turned the door knob and slowly peep through it. She couldn't see anything beside the large desk and shelves. Then she widened the gap and stepped into the room like a mouse.

The room was awfully clean and organized. There were journals on the shelves which Jiyong probably would never read, but who knows. Photos of him and his family were arranged on the empty desk. She then turned her head towards the bed and saw him sleeping soundly. His blanket tugged just below his chin and he flinched slightly which surprised Yeojung.

A smile then tugged at the side of his lips. "Why? Am I that handsome?" He asked without opening his eyes.

"Yeah, right. So damn handsome." She replied and rolled her eyes with her arms folded. He opened his eyes and grinned.

~~~

Both Jehoon and Yeojung went home to wash up and returned to work just a few hours later. While Jehoon attended to other administering matters, Yeojung worked in the studio.

Mr. Teddy was there in the studio, talking with Jiyong. They were bickering and joking with each other, laughing. It's been a long time since Yeojung felt the vibe inside the studio. She couldn't help but smile at the sight of it.

"Oh hey, Yeojung-sshi!" Mr Teddy called her from afar and even waved his hand. She waved back, grinning.

Within a few seconds she was in front of them, all fresh and smiley. Honestly, she never felt so eager to work before. Probably that's because she hasn't worked properly for a month.

"Why are you so happy, Yeojung-sshi?" Jiyong asked.

His hair for once was dark brown, freshly washed and fluffy. There was almost no dark circles around his eyes and he looked chubbier than two months ago. He was wearing a white shirt and ripped jeans with boots. This was probably the sloppiest he had ever been but still he looked damn good.

It took Yeojung a second before answering his question.

"I'm excited!" She finally replied.

"For what?" Teddy asked, looking confused.

"To work!" She exclaimed and both of them giggled.

"I've never seen anyone so excited for work." Jiyong spoke and shook his head.

"It's been a long time since I've worked!" She explained herself and the two men agreed. She was too free. Obviously she helped with other teams' production, like Blackpink and Ikon, but they had their own recording engineers.

Just then, Jehoon appeared. He was walking towards them with a few documents on his hand. And then he was before them, sweating.

"Hyung, the photoshoot...it's today." He spoke, looking worried.

"What photoshoot?" Jiyong asked.

"The one for GQ magazine. You're partnering with Actor Kang Dongwon." Jehoon said while reading the document. Jiyong's eyes widened and his brows rose.

"Kang Dongwon??" He asked to clarify if he was hearing things and Jehoon nodded after reading the document twice. "Woah, daebak.." He exclaimed and his knuckles was on his lips. He looked excited and he looked like her, the first time she saw him. He was one of Kang Dongwon's fans.

~~~

There she was in Jiyong's van, trying to sort out the situation. One moment she was his recording engineer and then she was his assistant. Carrying luxurious looking clothes, shoes and makeup wasn't her job. She was annoyed but excited. She had always wanted to visit a photoshoot set; to see how it's like behind the scene.

Meanwhile Jiyong was texting, a smile tugged at the side of his lips.

Noticing Yeojung's nosiness, he looked at her and told her what the text was about. "My mom is having a party tonight, you coming?" He asked. Her eyes widened and blinked a couple of times.

"Ahah, no thank you." She replied and shook her head as she grinned, embarassed at her own weirdness.

"Tch..." He clicked his tongue and continued to browse his phone. "But seriously, you should join us." He said and looked at her, who was buried under his clothes and supplies. "Because we're friends." He continued.

"Friends?" She asked. "I'm so thankful to become your friend, Kwon Jiyong-sshi." She said and bowed her head. It had been a long time since she had a good meal mainly because she hadn't gone to her parents home for awhile. Heck, she hadn't seen them for 3 months straight. Now that she thought about it, she kind of missed them.

Jiyong giggled and took small glances at her. Her eyes were stuck on the window. Gosh, she made it so obvious that she was a country girl. She doesn't have a strong accent though probably he could detect a little Gyeonggi-do dialect from her sentences but she could easily pass as a city girl.

~~~

They arrived at the set and Jiyong was a tad late. But of course he didn't get scoldings or any dissing. He's a damn trophy for every staff in the set. As soon as they arrive, the staff greeted them and took them to the dressing room. While Yeojung carried all the clothes, Jehoon carried the shoes and documents.

Jiyong changed into the photographed suit and his makeup artists did his face makeup while his hairstylist arranged his hair. Jehoon was arranging the documents when he called Yeojung.

"Yeojung-sshi, can you please get the documents in the car, I think I left some. I need to find the director right now." He said with his pleading eyes.

"Alright, I'll get it." She replied. "Thank you!" He thanked her and left the room.

The moment Yeojung opened the car door she saw the piece of paper lying just in front of the seat. It must've slipped off from the files. She rushed towards the set once again while reading the paper. Contract signed by photographer and director! Written on a post it.

Just then she bumped into someone, hard.

"Ouch!" She exclaimed when her head hit the person's chest and fell on her back.

"Sh-it!" The other party cried out along with 10 of the staffs. Everyone was focused on that person, who didn't even fall. Yeojung realized how big of a trouble she was going to be in.

"Aigoo! Kang Dongwon-sshi!" A man in his late 40s shouted, surprised at the incident. Yeojung's eyes widened. Kang Dongwon?!

She immediately picked herself up from the cold floor and bowed straight 90 degrees.

"I'm so so so sorry!" She apologized and stayed like that for a good 5 seconds.

"Who are you?" One of the staff asked and Yeojung stood up straight and panicked. She couldn't imagine how much they would make her pay for the damages.

"I-I am G-dragon's assistant." Yeojung blurted out.

"Assistant?! This is a very important and expensive shirt." The same man scolded her. His face was red and his expression was hard. It seemed like he was more worried if the actor might leave the set than the condition of the shirt.

"I'm so sorry..." Yeojung apologized once again and bowed her head.

"Y-You...Aah!" The man groaned.

"It's okay director... We have so many shirts..." Dongwon spoke up which surprised Yeojung.

"Thank you!" Yeojung exclaimed and bowed again and again to the actor.

Just then a hand landed on her head. She looked up to see who it was.

"Stop bowing, you're gonna hurt your head." Dongwon said and giggled. She couldn't help but smile. She blinked a couple of times before biting her lower lip and for a few seconds their eyes were locked. He truly had the most beautiful smile ever.

~~~

Yeojung walked all the way to G-dragon's dressing room smiling. Jiyong glanced at her the moment she entered the room. She looked so dreamy. Jehoon walked towards her and was ready to rant.

"Yeojung-sshi! Why are you-" Jehoon was cut when Yeojung looked at him smiling.

"Why are you smiling?" He asked.

"Nothing..."

"Did something happen?" Jehoon asked and Jiyong glanced at the both of them.

"Eung..." She quickly nodded and bit her lower lip excitedly. "I met Kang Dongwon!" She exclaimed and laughed to herself. "It was silly. Really, our meeting is just silly." Jehoon wasn't sure if she was talking to him or to herself, but she just sat there dreamily after handing the document to him.

Jiyong smiled to himself because she actually looked cute. He wondered if that's how she reacted when she met him in real life. He was getting more and more curious about her. The thing is, she was more like a friend than an employee.

The photoshoot went on for about 3 hours and by then Jiyong was drained. Maybe its because he hadn't slept well the night before or because he wasn't eating well. He didn't know. Yeojung continuously brought him water and green tea which he didn't know he liked. She said that it kept her awake during her high school senior years.

She was carrying the bunch of clothes and accessories as well as gifts from the designer of the line. On her left arm, the coats and shirts; on the other side, she was carrying boxes full of new clothes and possibly a pair of shoe. at her back, she had backpack carrying documents which Jehoon told her to bring earlier. Meanwhile Jehoon was finalizing some stuff with the director of the photoshoot and Jiyong was thanking all the staff for their hard work that day.

Suddenly, the weight of the boxes on her right arm lightened. She looked to her side and found Jiyong carrying them. He was looking forwards and walking faster than her.

She chased after him and said, "I can carry that..."

"You're too small to be carrying all these stuff." He said without looking at her and smiling at the people they passed by.

She agreed and nodded. After all, she had lost 5 kg while working at G-Dragon's studio.

~~~

By the time they returned to Jiyong's apartment, it was already 9.30 p.m. Jiyong couldn't think of anything else except for sleeping and resting. He was dead tired and he wasn't usually this way. He had worse schedule than this.

He threw himself on his couch and leaned his head on the armrest. Meanwhile Yeojung and Jehoon unpacked everything. Both of them were tired as well and wanted to desperately lay down.

After 15 minutes of unpacking, both staffs were done and Jehoon left first.

"Then, I'll go now, Jiyong-sshi..." Yeojung said to Jiyong who had the back of his hand rested on his forehead with his eyes closed. She bowed and was about to walk out of the apartment when Jiyong called her.

"Yeojung-sshi, can you order some food? I'm starving." He said and got up from his laying position.

"Ne?" She was trying to digest what he asked her to do.

"Can you order some food?"

"Now?"

"Of course."

"Alright." She sighed and put down her bag on the floor. She took her phone and pressed the numbers.

"What do you want to eat?" She asked him as she dialed the number. Jiyong's grim expression changed to an excited one.

~~~

They ordered lots of food; probably too much for just two people.

Jajangmyeon, tangsuyuk, soondae and deokbokki.

But as soon as the food came, they digged into it.

Everything was gone within 15 minutes. Both of them leaned on to the edge of the sofa as they were sitting on the carpet. Yeojung rubbed her stomach which was on the verge of bursting. Jiyong wiped his mouth and felt so good after eating those food. He had been missing korean street food as he was always travelling and had to always control his diet because after all, he's an idol.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" He suddenly asked.

"Ne? Why do you want to know?" She asked back, confused.

"Because if you do, I'd feel guilty for always making you stay with me." He explained.

"Ah..." She nodded. "No, I don't, but even if I had one, we would've broken up." She said and laid her hand on top of her stomach because she felt like a pregnant lady somehow.

"Why?" He asked, turning his head towards her.

"Because I'm always with you." She answered and turned her head towards him as well and gave a cheeky smile. He giggled as she was only repeating what he said earlier.

"I want to make more music here." He said, looking down to his bottle of beer which was between his fingers.

Yeojung nodded, listening to his words.

"Someday, I'm planning to form my own entertainment company..." He confessed and she immediately turned her head towards him with her eyes widened.

In past variety shows and interviews, Jiyong had said that he would love to stay in YG Entertainment for a long time, but it turned out that inside, he wanted to form his own company. He wanted to challenge himself and produce more of his music.

Yeojung was surprised but not too much because she knew that of course everyone has there own goals and she respects them.

She relaxed her eyes and smiled as she nodded.

"Make sure to accept my application, Mr Kwon Ji Yong." She said and smiled at him, he did too.

"Also, please give us a more delicious cafeteria, with more cuisines, like Italian or American..." She said and switched her body position towards him. He liked that she got so excited with his future goals. That gave him more confidence and he just felt happy that someone is on his side.

"Alright, I'll probably include a pizza stall..." He replied and she went on and on with her requests for his future company.
