Chapter 8
Are we in Love?Jisoo and Mino head up to YG's office in silence. The elevator stops at the 7th floor as they step out heading to YG's office.
Mino: Who is gonna knock?
Jisoo: The sunbae should
Mino: You said that the last time..its your turn now
Jisoo: Are you gonna let the girl do all the work?
Mino: Yeah, If that girl is you!
Jisoo(Cutely): AAHH..Oppa knock on the door please!
Mino: Wah...what's wrong with you? Are you sick or something?
Jisoo(Rolling eyes) : Move over! I will knock...
Mino: Nah..I will do it since you used ur useless aegyo
Mino nudges Jisoo aside and knocks on the door
Mino: Sajangnim? Jisoo and I are here, may we come in?
YG: Come in.
Mino and Jisoo enter YG's office to see Yang Hyun Suk sitting on the couch. The two of them stand infront of Yang Hyun Suk as he looks at them. The silence is deafening as Mino decides to break the ice
Mino: Sajannim we can ex-
YG: Good job
Mino: What?
YG: I don't know what was going on earlier but from the looks of an outsider it looked like you two were a cute couple having a playful arguement
Jisoo: How is that good sajangnim?
YG: Simple...how do you think reporters get inside news of entertainment companies?...Gossip goes around the company and slowly the word reaches through to reporters. All they have to do when they hear the gossip is to push alittle to their sources inside the commpanies and you have your frontpage articles ready.
Jisoo: So us running around the company is gonna stir up gossip that will help us fool the dispatch reporter?
YG: His source will report this to him and he will take the bait that you two are dating
Mino: But..sajangnim, What if other reporters hear this and decide to write an article?
Jisoo: Yeah! What if they decide to publish the article? Our plan will be ruined
YG: Don't worry, the other reporters they don;t have any evidence and can't write an article based off gossip so we are safe.
Mino: I see...so we can go?
YG: MMMM...Guess i don't need to worry about you two for the next 6 months. Report to me every two weeks from now we will see how this progresses
Jisoo: Ye sajangnim...we will take our leave
YG: Mino, stay behind, i want to talk to you
Jisoo looks at Mino and leaves first wondering why YG asked Mino to stay back. As Jisoo leaves, YG gestures for Mino to take a seat on the couch as he straightens his posture.
YG: So, how is your album coming?
Mino: Im working on it sajangnim
YG: Hmm..i heard from Pil Kang that you are having trouble with it
Mino: uhh....well...I promise to work hard sajangnim
YG: You don't have to rush, its your album, If you rush and give me half hearted music..i will never give the approval. Just relax and take your time
Mino: Yes sajangnim
YG: I feel bad now that i know ur having trouble making music and i also made you agree to a huge favour for the company.
Mino: No sajangnim, Its the least i can do for Jiyong hyung and Dara noona.I promise to work even harder on the album, talking to you now has made me more determined
YG: Thanks Mino- yah...you can go now.
YG stands up and head over to his desk as Mino greets YG and heads out of the door. He closes the door and turns coming face to face with Jisoo, who had been waiting outside
Mino: WHAT! What are you still doing here? You gave me a heart attack
Jisoo: What were you two talking about?
Mino: Nothing..why are you still here?
Jisoo: Waiting for you duh!
Mino: Why?
Jisoo: Did u forget? We were supposed to set the rules today
Mino: Oh yeah..lets go to studio, we can discuss there
Jisoo: Lets go...so....what did you two talk about?
Mino: None of your business...
Jisoo: Why? Did you get into trouble?
Mino: No i didn't...its really nothing ok
Mino pulls out his phone as he goes through his instagram feed ignoring Jisoo as the elevator arrives. The two head in as they head to Winner's recording studio in silence with Jisoo trying to distract Mino from his phone by asking about what Yang Hyun Suk talked to him about. The elevator stops as the two get out and head into the studio.
Jisoo:Come on, we are partners now ..you can tell me what sajangnim told you right?
Mino: Ugh fine! He was talking to me about my solo album
Jisoo: You have a solo album?
Mino: Well..if i can meet the deadline he set for me then yes i would have a solo album.
Jisoo: Oh that was simple...you were acting like it was a huge secret
Mino: .... I mean..i didn't want the word to spread you know
Jisoo: Whatever, lets set the rules...First rule.. No invading each other's privacy.
Mino: Easy...second rule if there are important events like comeback, birthdays or ..whatever, we have to act close
Jisoo: Act close? Explain
Mino: Like sending bouquets, or visiting each other ,hanging out etc
Jisoo: oh...thats fine i guess but we have to be careful when hanging out.
Mino: Sure..3rd rule No dating other guys
Jisoo: Or girls, No dating other guys or girls for the next 6months. Next rule, we can't tell anyone about this, not even our members or close friends
Mino: Right....any other rules?
Jisoo: Hmm....constant update of each others schedules..we need to know what each other is doing
Mino: Is that necessary?
Jisoo: Yeahh we are gonna be acting like couples so it is..i guess
Mino: Ok..what happens if the rules are broken?
Jisoo: Well then.. the offender has to...apologize and do the othe's bidding for 2 months
Mino: CALL! I will type out the rules and we will sign it
Mino proceeds to type out the rules they have set and prints out 2 sets of the contract. The two of them sign both the contracts as Jisoo takes one while Mino takes the other.
Mino: There the deal is done, now get out so i can work
Jisoo: Whatever, hope u break one of the rules so that i can own you for 2 months
Mino: Whatever, Now out!
Mino pushes Jisoo out of his studio and shuts the door as he sits down to write lyics. He thinks about his fake relationship with Jisoo and how things have changed in the pat week as lyrics pop into his mind.
" You’re friendly to others, but chic towards me.
Where’s all the stars in Seoul
Oh, in your eyes"
Mino looks over the lyics he just wrote as he realises he just described Jisoo
Mino(Thoughts): What the... did i just...why did i picture Jisoo? The lyrics are good tho..
Mino wonders in his studio as he starts composing and arranging some previous samples he made as the day deepens.
