Where You Are

"Are you okay?" Min-Joon asks as he rushes towards me.

"Your grandmother is scary" I say. He chuckles.

"She has that effect on people" he says "But you really surprised me there. Speaking up for me and actually making a wager with her."

"Don't worry about it" I say smiling.

"Why did you do it? You could have just stayed quiet or even left the room" he said curiously. I can't tell him that I want him to end up with Yu-Na, so I just smiled.

"It's the least I can do for the kindness you've shown me. A complete stranger. Even though you did say it wasn't for free. I'm still grateful" I say. He looks at me without saying a word. Again, that type of staring. I don't understand it. He smiles at me and taps me on the head.

Rather than helping me up he goes back to his desk "Now I just have to come up with a way of raising our profits by 10%" he sighs. I don't know whether I did a good thing or not. He notices how I looked at him with worry "Don't worry, I'll come up with something. You can go back" he said.

I sit back down on the secretarial chair and after a while I see Dae-Hyun walking down the hall, towards me. He's holding that folder again. It looks like he wants to give it to the Vice-President, but he doesn't have the courage to do so. I wonder what's in that folder.

"Are you giving that to the Vice-President now?" I ask him "What's in there anyways?" I try to reach for it but he moves it away. I feel like I over stepped my boundaries again but I was surprised by what he asked me next.

"Are you free?" he asks. I'm not sure how to answer that. I'm Min-Joon's secretary but I don't really have any work to do since he decided to do everything on his own.

I feel like I should deny whatever offer he's about to give me, but I want to get to know him better, so I nod.

"Come on. I'll show you around" he says. He reaches his hand out for mine. I take it. I walk around the desk and then he lets me go.

Dae-Hyun is pretty nice. I thought that I made a bad impression, but it looks like I was wrong.

He walks me around the building and shows me where various teams are, such as the marketing team and the production team, as well as the graphic designing team and much more. Many waved at me and introduced themselves but quickly continued with their work. Such workaholics just like the Vice-President.

"Now, to show you my team" Dae-Hyun said. We go downstairs through various hallways and suddenly it feels like we are in a different building. It looks colorful and has music playing. We keep walking and we pass various young and attractive people dressed in sweat suits with water bottles as if just getting out of a work-out.

I think I have an idea of what this place is.

We arrive to a room where a lot of young and attractive boys are dancing in sync to really good music.

"They are our newest boy group" Dae-Hyun tells me "Let's keep going"

We keep walking and arrive to a studio room. There's an attractive guy singing behind the window, and sitting down, listening to him and adjusting the music are a girl with short hair, and three guys. There was the guy who had earphones on and he was a bit overweight. Another guy was wearing glasses and had his hair parted right in the middle, and the other was the most attractive of the three and was eating noodles.

When they all notice Dae-Hyun they all smile, stop what they are doing and greet him. Dae-Hyun grins but doesn't show much emotion after that. The one eating noodles got up to hug him and even tried to kiss him in a friendly manner but Dae-Hyun pushes him away telling him to stop.

"Is that how you treat your friends?" the guy asks him.

"I thought you didn't have any friends" I say. They all stare at me surprised, it seems they didn't notice me when I entered with him.

"This guy is a contradiction" the noodle guy told me "He says he doesn't have friends, but he makes friends as quickly as he can come up with songs"

I look at Dae-Hyun surprised.

"You're a songwriter?" I ask him impressed.

"He wants to be" the girl said "That folder has all the music he's ever written. He can be a great composer, but he doesn't have to guts to show it to anybody"

"Then how do you guys know he writes music?"

"We came across it accidentally" the guy with the glasses said.

"Alright that's enough" Dae-Hyun says. I can see his face flushed red "I'm just showing her around. Go back to work"

"Can I look at it?" I ask Dae-Hyun. He quickly says no without a second thought.

Suddenly it hits me like a ton of bricks.

"You're the wager!" I say loudly. They all look at me confused "You're the answer to the Vice-Presidents problem" I try to be more specific but its difficult when I don't have the time to explain everything "Dae-Hyun I know we just met but I need you to trust me right now" I say. He nods confused. I grab him by the wrist and we hurry outside.

This is easier than I thought.
