jerkass and

Let it go

I stayed at the main switch room during the rehearsal. Lee had been monitoring the progress of the sound. So far, everything was going well. We had a 2 hour break before the performance. Lee and I went out to grab a dinner.

"Jung Eunji, this is dangerous," he commented.

"Come on, where did your sense of adventure go?" I grinned and sipped from my drink.

"Look we're talking of dome here. It's 10000 against 50,000. That is crazy. I'm afraid it will blow."

"There's no way to find out than to do it. If it blew, I'm covered," I answered.

"Damn Jung, you're crazy!"

"And so are you. Otherwise you won't be doing this with me,"

Lee just kept quiet. He darn knew I was right.

After our snack, we went back to the dome. I headed the sound controller to keep my commanded.

An hour later, I got the signal that the concert was about to begin. We started pretty well. I had to order the sound controller to reduce the volume and regulate the sound. Lee and I monitored the  main switch. I ran from the sound control area and the main switch. I can sense that Lee was trembling. I cannot blame him. This is a huge risk that can take thousand of life not to mention a huge responsibility my company had to face to the city of Osaka.

I kept glancing at my watch. I can't wait for the concert to be done. I want this job done and get to a new work the next day.

I heard from the radio that they are on their last song. I breathe in relief. Then I heard a huge uproar. I left Lee and checked the sound controller. "Turn off all the sound. I don't think we can hold any longer"

The person beside him was glaring at me "They have to do encore,"

I glared back. "It's either your encore or we lose our lives"

"Can't we make another 10 minutes?" He pleaded. "It's important"

I glanced at my watched and radioed Lee. "What do you think of another 10 mins?"

"Not longer than that or this will blew," he answered back.

"Ok thanks. I'll be down here to check on the sounds. Meet you back later," I said and turned to the guy beside me. "10 minutes."

He ran towards the back stage. I sat beside the sound controller. "How was it?"

"Gdragon will be mad at me,"

"I'll be at your back,"

As expected Gdragon called everybody after the performance. Of course I went with the sound controller team.

"What the was going on?" He shouted. He was obviously mad. "What wrong with our sounds? It sounds controlled,"

Everybody was silent.

"If you've listened to my advise, You won't be ing by now," I didn't like how he was blaming people about the poor performance. It wasn't poor performance but I guess it didn't meet his expectation.

He turned to me. I met his fury glare. "I ordered the sound regulation."

"You what?" He advanced towards me. The members got up. They probably got scared what he might do.

"You insisted on foregoing the concert. I was just doing you a favor. Don't you dare give me that attitude. If not for my team your so called concert was cancelled without even notice." I snapped at him.

His two hands went to his waist and surveyed me. I can see at the corner of my eyes how everybody's eyes were on us. He laughed sarcastically. "And who do you think you are?"

"Me? I'm just your next door sound technician. " I answered back with sarcasm. "No need to fuss Mr. Kwon Jerkass Jiyong." I saw his eyes rolled.

"Just because you're a girl ..."

I saw the person beside him nudge him and signaled him to stop.

"You're going to pay for this. Our band was ruin for this performance"

"Oh really?" I said with full sarcasm. "Should I mention what I did just to fulfill your whims on this? Bigbang's leader Kwon Jiyong risked the lives of 50000 lives. How would that sound? Let me remind you, everything I do was documented"

"You ," I heard him murmured.

"You're more than a ," I fired back. Before he could say something I headed to the door. "By the way, Mr. Kwon stop being a perfectionist."  I slammed the door behind me. I was fuming. After what we have done, he had the guts to get mad. Screw him! "Hey Lee, I'm heading ahead. I'll see you at the office on monday."

"Aren't you going to reports do a report regarding what happened today?" He asked.

"The personnel knew what happened. They will have to call someone to fix it. I am so tired. See you Monday," I hang up before he starts asking question.

I head down the subway and hit my favorite Izakaya. I drowned 2 beers before heading home.

Damn Kwon Jiyong. God! He's really full of himself. I don't know him? Duh!

 

~~~ -Flashback-

I was going back going back to my hotel room after the idiot spoiled my dinner when I spotted girls with uchiwas. I raised brows. The photo on the uchiwa looks like the guys from the plane.

"Uhm...who are they?" I asked in perfect English.

The girls looked at me in bewilderment. "Bigbang,"

"Bigbang?" I repeated.

"Koreans. They'll be having concert tomorrow night," one of the girls answered in English.

"Oh. Ok." I got out when the elevator ding on my floor. I searched for Bigbang in the net. I smoothen my brows when I read about them. They are that popular and I don't know them? and that guy was Kwon Jiyong, the leader. Kwon Jiyong. The famous Gdragon. How could I not know him. Simply because I'm not into entertainment. I grew up in a business oriented family. My parents wanted me to take up business management but I wanted something different. I got into electrical engineering. My dad said it is hard but I want to challenge myself. Indeed. I graduated with flying colors. I worked with a small company after I graduated and then moved to another one after a year.

~~~~

It's been 2 year since that incident. In those 2 years, I made a name to myself. The company I worked with made a break in the world. Somehow, our service became popular and that landed me to do some research in Japan and met the egoistic Kwon Jiyong again.

 I slept in the next day. I woke up with a head ache. Not enough sleep and the though of Kwon Jiyong's attitude made my blood boil again.

I saw few missed calls. Most from my boss. Darn I'm screwed. He probably found out what we did last night. I checked his voice message. I breathe in relief when he asked me to meet a client for dinner. He said it's a formal dinner and emphasized to dress properly. Duh! He knew that I rarely wear dress. The dinner said 6 pm. I have 7 hours to prepare. I have few dress in my closet. I chose the bluish long dress. I have no idea who's the client. I don't want to embarrass my self in any case.

 

Jiyong's PV

 

The concert did not go well as I expected. I knew something was going on with the  sound. I saw someone running every now and then to the sound controller. I cannot do anything during the performance. When I called everybody this girl who called me jerkass earlier was with the crew. Everybody was silent knowing that I was mad but she started talking and even glared at me. We started exchanging heated arguments  till my manager nudge me and mouthed to stop. My brows creased but I stopped anyways. I need to calm down. I was pissed off when she just slammed the door and left.

The other staff and crew left as well. That left me and the members with our manager and the production staff.

"Who the hell was she? She's so young to be acting like she knew everything," I slumped at the couch.

"Jung Eunji. Electrical amd sound engineer." The production director answered.

"She speaks Korean fluently," Taeyang noticed.

"She's a Korean and well known in Korea. She made a name at an early age. You can find her in google. She came to Japan to conduct a study."

As soon as I arrived at our hotel room, that Jung girl kept playing in my head. I was so pissed off. No one ever raised voice or breaks my orders as much as possible. How dare she call me a and a perfectionist. I grabbed my ipad and typed her name. The first that came up was the engineer. I checked her photo. It is her. I opened the page and started reading the article. "Holy !" I cursed. "She's that famous?" I continued reading the write up and browsed other article about her. I suddenly felt ashamed of myself. I called my manager to set up a meeting with her. It has been hours since my manager said he contacted the company and they just called her. I intentionally did not give my name. She might not accept once she found out it was me. Two hours later, I received a confirmation for the dinner meeting. I was kinda nervous like I was on my first date. I was nervous that do not know how to start the conversation.

I wore a simple shirt and dress pant. I don't want to be flashy. I told the company that it's a formal dinner.

I went to the restaurant 10 minutes early. It looks to me that she'll be early. True, five to six, I saw him from the glass divider.
