Jiyong's POV

   I opened my eyes slightly and was hit by the sunlight. Great. I forgot to close the curtains. I touched the sheets beside me and glanced to check if Rose was here. But it was a dream. Just a dream. I couldn't keep being away from her. I needed to confess to her today. Man up, Jiyong! You can do it. I encouraged myself and woke up with full of energy. I wanted this day to go faster so I could meet Rose as fast as I can.

Your POV

I woke up because of my phone's ringtone that was super annoying. 

- Halo? 

- Hello! This is from Tree J Entertainment. Is it Rose Choi's number? - a woman asked. I sat up swiftly and felt my head spinning.

- Yes! Yes! It's Rose Choi, - I tried to sound like I was awake already.

- You are accepted as trainee in Tree J! Please come here at 12pm to discuss the contract and sign. 

Oh. My. God. How can I express this feeling? Excited? Amazed? Maybe losing my mind?

- Thank you! - I stuttered a bit. - I will be there at 12pm. 

After hanging up I felt like opening the window and screaming out loud that I got accepted as a trainee of Tree J! Jang Keun Suk sunbae's company! I can learn so much from him and maybe become a great actress! 

I shared the happy news with my aunt, my friend Go Eun and I thought about texting Jiyong oppa but since we could meet up today I wanted to tell him face to face.

At Tree J

  I was sitting in a very large room waiting for the person who will explain everything about the contract. After reflecting a bit I decided to be delicate and read everything written on it. Since I heard that some people get scammed or some other bad things happen when you are not careful with those kind of stuff. 

- Hi Rose! - I heard Keun Suk come in the room with a smirk on his face. - How you've been? - he asked, sitting in front of me and looking right into my eyes. 

- Hello, sunbae! - I felt myself a bit uncomfortable with him gazing at me like that. But I had to admit, his eyes seemed so deep that I felt like being lost there. 

- So congratulations! You got accepted! - he grinned with a cute expression on his face. 

- Thank you! And a separate thanks to you, sunbae! - Keun Suk glanced at me with a questioning look. - You helped me out a lot acting as my boyfriend! - I explained and grinned back.

- Well if you need someone to act as your boyfriend later then call me anytime, - Keun Suk made a calling gesture and chuckled. 

- Okay. I'll remember that, - I replied and laughed back. I didn't know why but I felt my heart skip a bit seeing him smile like that. I felt like watching TV. 

- But wait, if you are thankful then you should pay me back, right? - Keun Suk seemed excited about something. I slightly nodded. - Buy me dinner today. With soju! - he raised an eyebrow smiling and waiting for my response.

- Hmm, it depends on how good is the contract. Since you are the founder you took part in making it, right? - Keun Suk's smile faded a bit. - If the contract is okay, I'll buy you dinner with soju, - I stated.

- No way! You are going to be so rude with your sunbae? - he pouted acting as if he was incredibly offended. 

- Sunbae, let's just focus on the contract, shall we? - with that said I opened the first page of the contract and started to read it.

After reading the contract thoroughly and asking about all the things that I was curious about I told him:

- Keun Suk sunbae, I will sign it now. Thank you for explaining everything to me!

- Don't worry, Rose! I promise that everything will be okay. Tree J is different. You will have freedom here, - he reassuringly nodded his head. I felt somehow confident hearing his words and felt encouraged. That's when I heard my phone's screen light up with a new notification.

*new message from Jiyong oppa*

Rose~ When will we meet up? I called you a few times but you didn't pick up. 

I excused myself to Keun Suk and was about to leave when Keun Suk exclaimed:

- Don't forget about buying me dinner today, Rose! - I stopped.

- Today? Can't we meet other day? I just had someone else to meet today... - I felt sorry to Jiyong and kept fidgeting thinking about him. Keun Suk seemed like thinking for  bit when Jiyong called.

- Hey! - I got out of the room. 

- Rose, hi! - he tried to speak louder because of people around him.

- Are you at work? - I asked.

- Yeah, I mean I didn't have anything in my schedule but something came up, - he tried to explain. - But I well get off work in about 2-3 hours so I wanted to ask if you can meet me? 

- Hmm, yeah I guess I can, - I replied.

- Then see you in a few hours! - Jiyong said, his voice so good to hear. As always.

I went back in the room and saw Keun Suk waiting for me.

- So do you have time today? - Keun Suk looked at me with hope in his eyes. 

- Well I have 2-3 hours from now so let's go somewhere close, - I told him finally giving in. 

- It's enough! We can have dinner, drink soju and you can go wherever you need to go! I won't even force you to drink! - Keun Suk got up and walked towards me faster than his normal pace.

- Then I'd be thankful! - I smiled and we got out of the room.

Keun Suk and I decided to go in the grilled meat restaurant nearby. After an hour of talking, discussing the future plans and joking a bit I felt that I got so used to being with him that it felt like we knew each other for a long time. I drank only a can of beer and Keun Suk drank two bottles of soju all by himself!

- Sunbae, you really are good at drinking, aren't you? - I looked at him amused.

- Well, I tried to be modest, but yeah, I'm good at it, - he smirked, bragging.

- Wanna try drinking soju? I bet it's your first time drinking it here! - he said and tried to pour it for me. 

- Thank you,sunbae! - I held the glass with two hands showing my respect to him and just when I brought it close to my lips someone passing by hit my elbow making soju spill on my neck and my chest. 

- Oh God... - I felt my cleavage getting wet. Keun Suk got up swiftly and tried to help me wiping the soju on my neck with a napkin. 

- Rose?! - In the midst of noisy restaurant I saw someone approaching me calling my name. Me and Keun Suk stopped and glanced at him. Jiyong. It was Jiyong.
