Back to back update. Enjoy!

“Miss Jung Eunji,” the chief of tourism greeted me. My boss called me to go back to Korea immediately. I’m not yet done with the research project in Japan. The boss presented a project for the February lightings. I became excited. It’s the first ever snow and ice carving in  Pyeongchang in preparation for the 2018 winter olympics. I met up with the organizers to discuss the production of the opening of the event.

I got pulled out from the research in Japan and was told to man the new project.

Since it will be in February, the theme was  love. The project was a huge news in the whole nation. It was well covered by media. I myself was contacted for interviews but I declined.

I didn't realized Christmas is nearby because I was busy with the new project. I took a break from the project and went home to spend the Christmas with my family.

"hey, I heard dad and mom talking about your marriage weeks ago," my sister said as she helps me with my luggage.

"My marriage?" I raised brows. "Shouldn't they be talking about your marriage first?" My sister is 3 years older than me and I was wondering why my parents would be talking about my marriage.

"I don't know. I heard something like dad's friend,"

"Gah! Arrange marriage?" I laughed. "You probably heard it wrong. I think you're bluffing. It's you right?" I tickled my sister.

"Yah! It's you I swear," she rolled in my bed.

"Whatever. I am not getting married till I'm done with PHD,"

"Yah! Jung Eunji!" my sister yelled at me. "All the men are taken by then,"

We both laughed at our craziness.

"Then I will grow old maid."

My sister rolled her eyes. "Oh by the way, how's the project coming?"

"Half way. You should come at the opening. I'll ask dad and mom. It's will be a history and my name will be on it." I was bragging.

"Oh, yeah! whatever." my sister threw me a pillow which I dodged.

"Seriously. You guys have to go. It's first time in Korean history. I am so proud I am part of it."

"Kidding aside, are you dating someone?" my sister's voice became serious.

I looked at her. "If I say yes, you will be stalking me in Seoul. And if I say no you'll be nagging me to date your colleagues. Unnie, you're into a relationship are you," I looked straight to her eyes. "Ohhh... does the folks know?"

"uhmmm.. not yet. It's just that...his parents have already arranged a marriage for him. I.."

"What the hell!" I cut him. "What's wrong with people these days? Arrange marriage. Jeez! If you both love each other then who cares about the parents?" I flared. I do not understand why parents would arrange marriage at this time. Come on it's the 21st century.

"His family is from..."

I cut her again. "I don't care. If he loves you he should stand on it,"

" Eunji -ah, I'm not joking about the arrange marriage I heard from mom and dad. They will probably mention it to you over dinner," she changed back the topic to my so called arranged marriage.

I rolled my eyes. She is avoiding topic. I just shrugged.

We were having tea at the living room and watching news when dad turned off the TV and faced me. I started to shiver. Is the marriage thing real? My sister is not pulling a prank on me.

" Eunji -ah," my dad started.

I just looked at him and then to my mom whose head was bowed.

"I know this probably the right time to talk about it. Your mom and I agreed to a marriage proposal that.."

"what?!" I got up.

" Eunji -ah, listen to us,"

"No dad, listen to me." I sat down and lowered my voice. "There's no way I am marrying someone I don't know. Even if I know him, there's no way I'll go through arrange marriage."

"Ok. I knew you would react this way," dad smiled. "We understand your point. We'll talk to his parents."

"Thanks dad," I went around and back hugged my father. "You're the best,"

"In one condition, you should introduce us to your boyfriend next year. I know you're busy with your current project but as soon as you're done we expect you to bring home your boyfriend,"

"But dad," I started to protest. Bring home a boyfriend? I don't even have time for myself how much more of dating? I sighed and slumped back to my seat.

"And you too," dad turned to my sister. "You think we forgot about you? I want to meet my potential son-in-laws next year,"

I rolled my eyes and I saw my sister did the same.

My whole Christmas vacation and the year end with out dad mentioning about marriage or boyfriends again. I went back to Seoul and continued with the project. Our team was pressured the  event is nearing. We were done in the middle of January and testing it when we were informed about the group of people who will be performing on the opening day. I skimmed on the list. "Bigbang?" I didn't realized I said it loud.

"Oh gosh! I think I will finally see them upclose." Jae Ah shrieked.

"Don't tell me you're a fan?" I turned to her and rolled my eyes.

"What's wrong with that? The five men are so gorgeous especially TOP. The voice and the eyes." She was all exited.

"Well, let's hope you'll get to meet them," I left her.

God! You've got to be kidding me. Bigbang. And they are the last performer. There's a note that we have to meet with the managers to discuss what's the performer will be doing so we can adjust timings and work out on lightings and sound. Kwon Jiyong better not be there or I'll be the first to spew fire.

Thank God Kwon Jiyong wasn't present at the meeting but their manager had been demanding this and that. They have the most demands among the performers. What can we do? We're supposed to accommodate them.

Whoever was the organizer, I hate him. We were told to wear something red during the performance. Duh! The organizer must be a female to have this theme even for us. Or maybe a guy who was hopelessly inlove. I laughed at my own thought. I searched for my closet for something red. Well, they said red, red it is. I dug into my old clothes in my closet. I know it is still there. I finally found it. It's a red winter jacket with small black skulls  prints. I found it cute when my sister and I went for a short trip in Netherlands.

I made my way to the tent set up for us. The organizers met us up and told us about the event in the evening. My senior told me to handle the sounds and he will do the lightings.  After lunch, I went around to check on our equipments. Making sure everything are fine. We do not want to make mess. I was making a final rounds at the stage when I heard a sniff. I turned around. Oh well, I expected this. "well hello Mr.."

"Kwon Jiyong," he continued. "Is everything good?"

I raised brows. "yes, your highness,"

"Oh.. that's a new name. I prefer that than jerkass," he said smiling. "So you're part of the team,"

"Obviously," I checked the speakers' connection. "What brought you here so early? You still have 3 hours before the performance,"

"You know me,"

"I don't know you," I shot back.

"I came to check. I guess it's a habit," he answered.

Oh. I guess we've same habit. We check on everything before everything starts. "Suit yourself. I'm done with mine,"

"See you later," I heard him as I walked away. "By the way, that's pretty jacket you have there,"

The event ended successfully. I saw contentment from the organizers and from our team. I sighed in relief that it went smoothly. The organizer informed us that the place will be close at 11 pm. The tourism advised us for a filming to take place later that night and they need our assistance. It is a promotional ad they want to release.

I sat back on my chair  relaxing. I checked my time. We have an hour to go before the shooting starts. I got up and walked to the refreshment area. I need something to keep me up for the next hour.

"Oh... it's been a while," Jiyong just finish making his coffee. And that was surprising. The great Gdragon making his own coffee.

"We saw each other less than 5 hours ago," I don't know why I snapped.

"Chill. You're coat is really pretty." he complimented again.

"Thanks. I heard that twice from you," I just grabbed a bottle of water and started to walk back to my station.

"The production was awesome. So you do production as well," he followed me.

"It comes with it," I answered. I really do not want to talk to him right now.

"You're still mad from that incident?" he raised.

I turned to him. "What incident?"

"Jiyong!" we both turned from where the voice was.  I'm glad his team mate came to get him. "Rehearsal," Tae Yang was at the door of their made up dressing room.

"You should go. I want this done. It's late," I pushed him to go.

The filming lasted for 3 hours with all the idols taking turns and everything.  It's past 3 in the morning when we wrapped up and was heading home.

"Can I be dropped first?" I asked my senior. "I have to meet the big boss tomorrow,"
