Chapter 9
Mended"Why didn't you call me when you had the accident?" Jiyong's boss asked after seeing him went in with a crutch.
"I didn't think it was necessary. I have a guardian to take care of things for me anyway." Jiyong said while seated comfortably on the sofa across where his boss was seated.
"A guardian? You didn't have any relatives here that you've mentioned about before."
"She came when I was brought to the hospital."
"Your relative's a she?"
"Yes..?"
Jiyong's boss looked at him suspiciously.
"I know what you're thinking boss. She's really my cousin... You can ask her if you want. She's outside."

"I was thinking you'll say that which leads me to another topic... BigBang would like you to appear on their music video for their new song... No mentioning of your name, not even a hint of who you are. Just complete appearance and that's all."
"What's the purpose of all these?" Jiyong asked, sensing that his Boss is leading to something.
"We just wanted a new face for the crowd."
"Why not look from the aspiring artists that come here to apply?"
"Why should we bother to look for one when we know there's one among us that would fit what we're looking for?"
"I'm sorry Boss but it's NO."
