Why?!
“5 minutes left guys, keep it up...Wait where’s Hana?!” voices traveled through the halls and I just sat in a corner of a storage room as tears continuously rolled down my cheeks. There I was, all glammed up, ruining my makeup, slumped against the wall in my dress, and with what felt like my world ending in five minutes. The door suddenly busts open and my best friend Nari ran to my side. “What are you doing here?! You start in less than a minute, Hana!” She said panting.” Nari, I can’t ...I-” She tried to get me to stand up but I couldn’t feel my legs. ” You worked so hard for this, you can’t let him ruin it for you damn it!” I was on my feet barely keeping myself together. “Nari... I can’t go up on stage... not with him there”.
I jumped out of bed as loud banging rang throughout the house. “Nari! What’s going on?!” No answer. I walked out of my room as the banging continued. My hair was a complete mess, brown locks sticking out all over my face and I genuinely looked like a rotting corpse walking. “I know you are in there girls! Open the door!“. Mrs. Kim’s loud voice run through my system as I opened my front door.
“Do you need anything, Mrs Kim?” I said in the calmest tone I could muster at the moment.
“DO I?! You two are late to pay the rent again! You owe me 6 payments as of now!” She said and I froze in place. Damn, how did time go by so fast?
“Don’t worry Mrs Kim, we will try and pay you by the end of the month.”
I closed the door before she could continue since it was 6:50 and I was already late for work. So I threw on a pair of sweatpants, a shirt and headed to town. I work for Passion entertainment, a small office in downtown Seoul, that is in charge of a couple of trainees that are destined for bigger companies. Anyway, I work there as the company’s “social media manager” but realistically I’m just a glorified secretary.
“Good Morning Do-Yean, how are you?” I said as I sat at my desk. “I’m fine Hana.” I looked over at him, his dark brown eyes stuck on the screen of his computer. “Hey... Are you ok? I heard that Byeong has been giving you crap lately” He kept his eyes to the screen and put a hand through his black hair. ” Duri’s latest music video has around 5 million views on YouTube and it has gotten to his head. He wants to talk to sponsors in order to expand the company.” I stared down at my desk when he said that.” Is he completely insane? he is already in debt! If he is gonna do this, we will lose our jobs, that’s for sure.
“Lyang Hana at my office immediately.“Byeong’s voice echoed through the intercom. “Oh, here we go. Good luck Hana”. I smiled brightly at Do-Yean and headed through the glass doors to his office. Byeong greeted me with a wide satisfied smile and gestured me to sit. “My dear Hana, It’s so good to see a creature as beautiful as you this early in the morning.” I was sitting there awkwardly not knowing what to do until he spoke again.“I was wondering if you saw Duri’s music video” His eyes were staring right into mine and his smile grew bigger. Before I could speak a word, he stood from his seat and said dramatically. “I know! It was SUCH a hit. It went on trending for two whole HOURS.” I was just looking up at his smug face, his beard barely hanging on to it, as he looked down at me with dramatic as fuck eyes. “After that GLORIOUS achievement, I Byeong Han decided to talk to a, soon to be,great friend of mine Yun Il-Seong.” Just hearing that name made my blood run cold. ” The Yun Il-Seong..?” I asked, scared of his response. He proudly nodded and I felt a cold breeze run through me.
The infamous Yun family was known all over Seoul, mostly because of its youngest member 21-year-old, Yun Hyeon-Jeon, or as most people know him “Jeon”. He was probably the number one kpop artist of the last five years as well as a gold mine, for Star Entertainment, that with the help of his filthy rich father, was now the biggest entertainment company there was. It is an artist’s unachievable DREAM to work with them. I would know. Because I’m one of those people. Well, I used to be. I don’t dream anymore seeing the situation I’m in currently.
Anyway, the point is that Yun is the kind of person that will only talk to you if he can gain something from it. He is the impersonation of the mafia. I’m honestly scared as to why he even contacted Byeong. “So I thought, who would be perfect for the job?” His voice echoed in my ears making my head snap in his direction. “My amazing Hana of course!” He laughed. “I will come to your house to pick you up tomorrow morning at 7:00. Am I clear beautiful?” I tried to understand what he had said but failed.“Wait. Do you want me to-” “To represent Passion entertainment to Il-Seong? But of course! Who else would have been able to do such an important task?" I felt my knees weaken and my eyes wide. "Sir, I cant... I-" His happy expression turned mad in a split second as I recoiled slightly. " This is very important for the company Hana. You will go to the Yun mansion tomorrow unless you don't care that everyone is going to lose their job, including you. You may leave"
I was stunned. I didn't want to go to the mansion but I couldn't risk my position here. Sure I don't like working for an asshole of a boss, but I still needed to earn money. I wouldn't be able to live otherwise. I was terrified.
