Project : Love Actually

Same old story

Riiiinnnnngggg!

The morning alarm can be heard in the entire unit. Jisoo reached on her bedside table to turn off the alarm clock. And like her usual routine, sat on the bed to do some morning stretches which by the way means sitting indian style and bending until her head hit her bed.

She will stay there until her legs feel numb before actually getting up. Washing is part of the morning routine and afterwards cleaning her bed. As a nitpick, she wants everything in order.

Her 2 bedroom unit is situated at a prime location where most popular idols who wants to invest purchase their condominium. The unit has white and pink theme. White sofa, pink pillows. White walls, pink curtains. Her kitchen appliance have splashes of pink as well.

Just as she was about to fry some eggs, her phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Jisoo-yah, can you come over earlier than usual?" her manager unnie said. She is assigned to her and Rose who is also living in the same compound.

"Yeah unnie. How early would you want me to be at the practice room?"

Blackpink are preparing for their comeback and they are working on their choreo.

"No, proceed to CEOs office first. Be there in an hour please."

"CEOs office? Why? Unnie, did i do something wrong?" Jisoo now started to panic. As a child, Jisoo was known to learn how to be almost perfect. Her parents loved her so much that they want her to be the best.

"Ay-yah! Dont worry your pretty head now. There is a proposal project sent to the CEO and he wants to discuss it with you." her manager said

"Oh, i see. Are the girls not included?"

"Not that I know off. This is for you only. Rose and Lisa will be joining Law of the Jungle and Jenny is set to join a new variety similar to Master Key."

"Ok. I'll just have some breakfast and will be there in an hour."

"Jisoo-yah. Drive safely ok?"

"Yes unnie. Thank you"

Jisoo opted for cereal and apples instead of a heavier breakfast since she is in a hurry. She brew some coffee so she can take it with her. Although she was always experiencing acid reflux, she cant help but drink her favorite morning beverage.

At 20 mins before the meeting time, she was at the basement parking. Traffic was light and she knew she will be at the office with a few minutes to spare. Sporting a pink track suit, her hair tied up in a bun and her favorite black and pink running shoes (which has seen better times) she drove to YGs new headquarters. She did not bother to put any makeup. She just made sure that her face is not shiny and applied a little lip gloss.

YG CEO has always reprimanded her of dressing the idol part. He always remind Jisoo that whenever she goes out, paparazzi will follow her as she is the favorite of the photographers. Jisoo has the appeal even women her age envies and old women patronizes. Although she make sure that she is presentable, today is an exception. After the meeting, i am going to practice our dance. I'll be sweaty and all. So no need to look like i am going to the coffee shop, she thought.

Humming to herself while waiting for the elevator to open, she saw a few people gathered at the lobby. She wondered what the commotion is. When the elevator door opens, she quickly went in and press 5F. When the door opens she saw that the reception area was fully lit.

"Sominie", she greeted the receptionist "is CEO inside his office?"

"Yes unnie." the lady is 2 years younger and has been with the company for a year now. "Unnie, why are you wearing track suit?" Somin asked

"Oh, this? I have to be in the practice room in about 2 hours. Remember we are preparing for our comeback." she said

"Ok. But...anyway, go in. CEO-nim is waiting for you." the girl smiled while pushing her to the door.

Jisoo smiled and thanked the girl.

As soon as she entered the room, her CEO stood up. "Jisoo-yah, what are you wearing again?" he asked softly.

"Oppa," this is how they call their CEO if there are no other in the room. Only BlackPink and their sunbae 2ne1 were allowed to call him that. "I have to practice choreo for our comeback. I cant wear a skirt or a dress, can i?" she said while batting her lashes.

"You should have brought that old outfit with you and wore something nice before your practice. I dont know what i will do with you. You should have learned how to dress properly by now. You are already 25 for heavens sake my child." CEO-nim looked a little flustered. "Cant you at least unbound your hair. You did wash your hair, right?"

"Oppa! You know i always wash after waking up and even before i sleep. You always complained before that i use the most amount of toiletries when we were living in the dorm. And why are you so concerned of how i look? Its not like there are other people around. Its just you and I, right?" she was already red in the face defending herself

"I should have asked your stylist to fetch you. And by the way..." his words were drowned by the knock on the door.

"Good morning CEO-nim!"

Standing in the open door is JYP and his artist Jinyoung of Got7!
