The next day early morning Ray arrived at Ye-Jin's place early in the morning. He was surprised to see Ye-Jin waiting for him sitting on the front porch. It seemed that she was slightly dozing off. Ray pressed the horn and she was startled awake. He suppressed his laughter but couldn't stop the little curve of his lips at her scared look.
On the other hand, Ye-Jin who was startled awake caught the sight of the sound in mere seconds and didn't waste any time idling on the cold floor. She quickly got up and made her way to the car and simultaneously Ray opened the door for her.
Ye-Jin: (smiling) Good morning Ray, you look happy?
Ray: (nodding) Morning to you too. Did you rest well?
Ye-Jin: (affirmative) yes I did and you?
Ray: I couldn't sleep much and I know you didn't either.
Ye-Jin: (sighing) I tried contacting Aera last night. She still isn't answering.
Ray placed his warm hand on her fidgeting ones in order to comfort her. Ye-Jin's hands were slightly cold due to her staying out for some time. She was a little surprised at the unexpected contact but she felt touched at the unspoken gesture.
Ye-Jin: I am fine don't worry. I am confident we'll sort things out between us.
Ray only nodded at her and chose to not comment. It was a matter between two close friends and he was in no position to interfere between them. The most he could do was cheer up the girl who was sitting beside him. The crease between his brows eased a little when he saw her relax.
Ye-Jin: (curious) by the way why didn't you rest well?
Ray: I had to prepare somethings for today.
Ye-Jin: oh!
After that neither Ye-Jin asked anything nor ray elaborate further on what he had been up to. Ye-Jin definitely had many questions churning in her head but she didn't dare ask Ray any because she didn't want to spoil the tranquillity between them.
The rest of the ride was spent in silence. Ye-Jin fell asleep in the car as it was comfortable and Ray couldn't make himself to disturb her even after they arrived at their destination. He just turned off the engine and waited patiently for her to wake up.
It didn't take long for her to wake up.
Ye-Jin: (drowsily) are we there?
Ray who was somewhat lost in admiring her calm face came back to earth when he heard her question. It dawned on him that he had been lost staring at her. A first he felt like kicking himself for behaving like a pervert but then questions arose in his mind as to what was happening to him.
Ray: (composing himself) Yes. We are there.
Ye-Jin rubbed her eyes to chase away the remaining sleep and looked out her windshield to see the very popular building standing imposingly in front of them. She was speechless and could do nothing except stare at the huge infrastructure.
Ray: (clearing his throat) shall we go in?
Ye-Jin took a long time to respond to Ray's question.
Actually, she didn't even hear what he asked her. It was only when he tapped her on the shoulder to gain her attention that her soul got back in her body. She was shocked senseless looking at Ray's agency standing in front of her in an imposing manner that chills ran down her spine.
Ye-Jin: (stuttering) b-but-
Ry: (chuckling) yes we are going to meet my members.
This information almost had ye-Jin go into a panic attack. He didn't relent to her when she kept on pestering him to let her meet the guys. He always kept evading her request with one or other shitty reason. Now he just went and dropped this huge bomb on her when she had given up all hopes and most importantly she wasn't ready!
She dint think twice but just hit him hard on the shoulder.
Ray: (wincing) ow! that hurt!
Ye-Jin: (coldly) you aren't supposed to complain! You should've told me before. I would've come looking more presentable.
Ray: (pouting) you don't like my surprise?
Ye-Jin: (closing her eyes) don't pull a cute trick on me, Ray! I am not falling for it. I'll hit you more if you irritate me more.
Ray: (sighing) ok I am sorry. I just wanted to see you happy that's all.
That was all it took for the storm brewing inside Ye-Jin's mind to vanish completely. She was so touched that she almost cried in front of her. She held it in thinking about her already messed up appearance due to messed up sleep patterns. She was feeling a little regret but more than anything she was feeling excited and looking forward to what was coming next. She didn't wait for him and directly got down the car.
Ray was feeling helpless around her due to her oscillating mood. Just a moment ago she was angry and hit him but now she forgot about him and was already thinking of ditching him. He gave up on understanding women even before trying. He knew he would definitely fail even if he tried.
In no time both of them walked into the large entertainment company- 'Wang'. Who would have believed that merely four years ago this company was run in a little basement unknown to the world? It was all thanks to the earth-shattering popularity and growth of the five guys whom they recruited back then through auditions based on a variety of skills helped them shoot up in the circle to become an entertainment giant. Nowadays the scenario was such that every new face wished to join this company and it was a sure thing that in no time their artists would become huge stars.
Ye-Jin was a curious little cat in this building. Although she had visited this place a number of times for her friend Aera she wasn't this nervous. She timidly followed Ray like an obedient pet chanting in her mind to stay calm and not make a fool out of herself.
Should we bring in Aera here to create some gossip and trouble?
