Chapter 13 - Calling In Sick

Nabi walked out of the dormitory building and felt the cold air hit her bare legs. She was surprised that Kwon Jiyong didn't bother to ask if she needed a ride to work. She didn't need a ride, but she was still surprised by it. The streets were busy like always. The morning rush never seemed to surprise her and she never minded the fact that she liked walking in the streets when it was crowded with strangers. She found it weird being on the street alone. Even the weird drunk people in the night were better than nobody.

The walk wasn't long, and as she approached the building, a black van pulled up, causing Nabi to stop in her tracks. She sidestepped the van that had rudely cut her off, and made her way into the YG Entertainment Building, of course after waving to the security. She sighed, content with being inside, where it was slightly warm.

Nabi made her way to the classroom. Her first group was the boy group. They were the eldest and only group formed as trainees in the company. Nabi knew they were the only trainees with the actual outcome of debuting under YG Entertainment. Not even the girls were a set group to debut under the company. That's why Nabi pushed them to work hard so they didn't have to get their contracts dropped and have to audition for another company. She knew how tiring it was to be moved around like that. It's also unsettling to them not being able to debut under the company that they get signed under.

Nabi smiled walking in upon seeing the boys playing around. They all bowed as Nabi placed her bags on the chair. They looked happy. She already knew from the looks on their faces. They had big eyes and it was filled with joy and excitment. They also looked relieved.

"Why are you all so happy?" Nabi asked as she stood before them.

"Teacher, we finally got a debut date from President Yang." He explained with a wide grin.

Nabi smiled happily and clapped to congratulate them. "It was hard, right?" She asked. "You've all worked So hard to came this far. The hard work does not stop here. You all must work hard and never stop working hard even years after your debut." Nabi smiled.

"Teacher, you're going to be there when we debut, right?" Song In Soo, the maknae asked.

Nabi scratched her head and contemplated on telling him that she didn't want to attend their debut stage, especially on any music shows. So she did what anyone who couldn't answer a simple question would do. She asked him another question.

"What date did you guys recieve for a debut?" Nabi asked.

Song In Soo smiled. "President Yang is thinking around the end of December, only after Jiyong sunbae-nim has a solo comeback. So we're going to be working on writing and producing songs with one of the composers under the company."

Nabi smiled happily as they spoke about their upcoming debut. "Alright!" Nabi said clapping her hands. "Then we have a lot of work to do. Miyeong-ah, you're still having trouble holding a note longer than anyone else, so I'll help you out on that so when you guys debut you're all going to sound amazing for all of your fans."

"You're not going to attend our debt stage?" Song In Soo aked again.

Nabi sighed in defeat. "Fine. I'll attend. Only to see you guys briefly and help you all do warm ups. Have you all written and recorded songs for the debut?"

They smiled. "Thank you Teacher!" Song In Soo smiled.

Kang Won Sik nodded eagerly. "Yes! We've been writing lyrics and trying our hardest to work on composing a good beat on out own. One of the music composer under the company is helping us out before we record our final lyrics. Everything has to be overlooked by President Yang before we actually get into any recording booth."

Nabi smiled proudly at the boys in front of her. "That's so great. Now lets get back to work. You all distracted me long enough. Change out into clothes you all can move freely in. We're going to be dancing and singing."

With that Nabi left the room for the boys to change into workout clothes. She headed upstairs to where the dance studios and recording studios were located. The filming crew that followed those boys around were following her so they could set up shop in a corner at one end of the room. The boys have been working on a dance routine with the choreographer to one of Ikon's songs. After hearing how well they learned the dance routine, Nabi wanted to hear them dancing and singing at the same time. She had to make sure they were dancing and singing good so she could report it to her uncle. She also had to make sure that they held a fun and loveable stage presence so fans can enjoy the performance as much as they, themselves, do.

When the members walked in, the camera crew had already set up and began recording. Nabi's face was always blurred out on the show so she didn't mind being on or in front of the filming cameras. She waited for them to place their belongings down on the seats in the studio for dancer's and idol's belongings. Nabi explained to them what they were doing, they all clapped excitedly as they stood in formation. Each af them held a mic in their hands as they prepared themselves. Nabi walked over to the sound system and started the song. Perfectly in sync, they began the dance routine. The rappers of the group easily flowed out Ikon's rap flawlessly. Nabi listened out for any vocal struggles in the singers but they all sounded flawless and sounded ready for a debut. Nabi Worked with them for a little before they headed to a recording studio to start on their debut tracks.

After working with the young trainees under YG, she took the time to go and visit Kwon Jiyong in the studio. She wanted to make sure he was alright since she hasn't heard anything from him since the night before. He hadn't even texted her after she replied to his message. Nabi lazily climbed the flights of stairs until finally reaching the floor where all the recording studios and dance studios were all located at. Unfortunately for Nabi, it was on the second to the last floor. She sighed as she made her way to the recording studio she knew he was always in. Knocking on the door, and opening it after hearing a muffled come in, from the other side. She walked in to only find a man on a desktop, typing away. He looked over to the door and saw Nabi standing in her spot looking around.

''Hello?" Teddy started as he stood up and greeted Nabi.

Nabi clasped her hands in front of her and bowed politely at the man."Hello.'' She smiled. "I'm looking for Kwon Jiyong. Have you seen him?" She asked.

Teddy nodded."He called early this morning saying he couldn't come today. Something about eating something bad yesterday."

Nabi nodded. "Ah~" She dragged out. "Do you know what floor and dorm number Big Bang stays in?" She asked.

Teddy looked far off before going to his phone sitting next to the computer and started scrolling through it. Nabi just stood there waiting for Teddy to find whatever he was looking for in his phone. When he finally found something, he walked over to Nabi and showed her the screen to his cell phone. On the screen listed a building address as well as the apartment number.

"I had to send them their fan stuff that get sent into the studio, so I always have their address at hand." Teddy explained.

Nabi bowed. "Thank you so much."

Before Nabi could leave, Teddy spoke back up. "Wait!" Nabi turned around to look at Teddy.

"Yes?" She asked with her big round eyes.

"Why did you need his dorm number?" Teddy asked.

Nabi placed her hands behind her back as she avoided eye contact with him. "Well," She started. "I just didn't hear from him since yesterday so..." She dragged off.

"What relationship do you two have?" Teddy asked but shook his head the second his question left his mouth. "Sorry, I don't mean to be in your business. Just ignore what I just said."

Nabi smiled. "Thank you." She bowed and successfully left.

As soon as Nabi left, she took out her phone and stared at it. she was contemplating on calling him. She wanted to make sure he was alright. After hearing that Kwon Jiyong is sick due to eating something bad she needed to check up on him. After a loud sigh, she finally got the courage to call Kwon Jiyong's phone. lt rang for a few seconds before going to voicemail. She tried to dial it again but ended in the same results. She hadn't noticed that she was making her way down the stairs and out the front door until she felt the light breeze hit her face. Still, she tried to keep calling his phone but kept failing to reach him.

She was running through the streets, making her way to the dorms. She was bumping into people as she ran and ignored the curse words thrown at her. Her breathing was getting thicker as she ran down the street. She could feel the burn in her calves as her muscles tightened from the activities of running. Something she hated to do. When she made it to the dorm building, she bent over with her hands placed over her knees. She was breathing and grunting as if she had died. The security guard of the building stared at her like she was crazy. She straightened out her posture, waved to the security guard, and made her way to the elevators. She impatiently pressed the button, waiting for the elevator to reach the loby. As soon as the elevator doors opened, she rushed in and was happy that the elevator was nice and empty. She waited after pressing the floor to Big Bang's dorm floor.

Nabi stepped off the elevator as soon as it stopped on the floor Big Bang lives. She lightly jogged down the hall, stopping in front of the door number that Teddy had showed her. She slid the door lock up and started typing in random numbers only to hear a ding, denying her any access to Big Bang's dorm from entering the wrong password. After giving up, she rung the doorbell. Nobody seemed to be home to hear the doorbell. She tried to knock on the door but as soon as she lifted her hand to knock, the door open suddenly to reveal Kwon Jiyong. This caused Nabi to gasp at shock from the condition he was in.

"Jiyong-ssi!!" She said in a panicking tone.
