Chapter 6 - Super Star

Nabi woke up with the sun shining through her room. Like a bucket of cold water dumping over her body, the thoughts of last night woke her up. She couldn't believe that Kwon Ji Yong actually agreed to do President Yang a favor. She was now dating someone and it was based off of all lies.

She sighed and got out of bed. She needed to get ready for work. She left to the bathroom yawning and stretching her limbs out. After doing her business, she almost had a heart attack at her hair. She started to brush it back straight which was harder than she expected. It was always a violent when it came to brushing her hair, despite it being short and all.

After being satisfied with her hair, she started brushing her teeth but stopped when she felt like she heard the doorbell ring. She walked out of her room and to the doorbell manager. She almost choked on her toothbrush she had hanging out of her mouth when seeing Kwon Ji Yong on the screen. She was still wearing her PJs which was just a big shirt. She started panicking and pacing the floor. He rung the doorbell again yawning as if he wasn't starting an internal war for Nabi.

Nabi ran to the bathroom and spit out into the sink. She rinsed her mouth out and went back out. She patted her body trying to see if she could make her appearance possibly better. A loud sigh escaped her lips as she stared down at her big t-shirt. She shook her head at seeing the words Super Star going across it. She felt embarrassed by it. She sighed a defeated sigh and pressed the button that allowed her to speak with anyone outside her apartment.

"Ji Yong-ssi, why are you here?" She asked.

"We can go to work together. That way we can both talk to President Yang together." He explained. "Are you going to leave me out here?" He said raising an eyebrow towards the camera. "People might see me standing outside your door and start being curious."

Nabi swallowed hard before pressing the button that allowed him to enter. She walked around the corner and watched as Kwon Ji Yong entered Nabi's apartment and slipped his shoes off. He slipped on the extra house slippers that belonged to Nabi's mother and walked in like he owned the place. He walked through and stopped right before Nabi's shocked figure. He scanned her from head to toe, knowing how nervous she was having him in her home. It was obviois since she had a thumb in her mouth as she lightly bit down on it.

"Nice shirt." Kwon Ji Yong complemented her. "Are you going like that?" He asked.

Nabi hid her cheeks with her palms as she felt them getting red. "No. I'm fine. I can walk from here."

"Are you sure?" Kwon Ji Yong asks as Nabi eagerly nodded. "You don't want to talk with President Yang together, like you suggested last night?"

Nabi shook her head. "I already told him my decision about this matter."

"I can still take you." Kwon Ji Yong offered. "I don't mind waiting."

Nabi looked at her attire and bit her bottom lip. "Okay. I'll be fast."

Nabi sped walked to her room and started going through her boxes to get dressed. Meanwhile, Kwon Ji Yong started walking around Nabi's living room. The space wasn't too big but held a sofa, coffee table, side tables and even a flat screen television. Photos upon photos hung on the wall and photos in frames sat on the side tables. A lot of them were of Nabi and who he assumed was her mom. They both looked alike since her mom too had plump cheeks. He never saw one with anyone who could resemble her dad just a bunch with President Yang when she was younger. He did see one with two other boys standing on either side of her, eating ice cream but it was a picture of her when she was younger, around the age five or six years old. The boys in the photo seemed a bit older. Probably by six years. He saw another picture of her with another guy but this time, she was much older. Even Kwon Ji Yong himself had to admit that the guy in the photo was extremely handsome. He looked like someone who could be an actor but he didn't look familiar or famous. He had an arm wrapped around Nabi's shoulder, smiling, while Nabi had her arms wrapped around his waist, smiling as well. He at least knew that Nabi's beauty was all natural since she looked the same since she was young.

Kwon Ji Yong was stuck looking at the picture of Nabi in her high school uniform. She was standing outside CJ Entertainment and her smile was bright. Her eyes arched downwards as her cheeks pushed up from her big smile. Her hair was much longer and she didn't have front bangs. It was even naturally brown instead of her reddish-brown hair. He's never seen a smile so bright. He was wondering why she was standing outside of CJ Entertainment. He knew it was CJ Entertainment because Nabi stood right next to the company's huge sign. She was even holding a peace sign.

"I'm ready." Kwon Ji Yong looked over at Nabi who walked out from her room. "Are you ready?" She asked.

His eyes scanned her. Unlike all her photos, she wore a bare face. He wasn't sure she was even wearing BB Cream. She wore a t-shirt and denim jean shorts that stopped just above mid thigh. Her shirt tucked into her pants had a stripes with patterns on it. She wore a black snap back that covered her hair. Her big eyes stared blankly back at Kwon Ji Yong while he scanned her. In some way, the outfit she wore matched her. Of course he cheeks were red from embarrassment.

"Yeah. Let's go." Kwon Ji Yong said.

Nabi walked out first, slipping out of her house slippers and into her sneakers. She held the door open for Kwon Ji Yong to walk out. She then followed him to the elevator. She was so awkward she kept looking down. They both stopped in front of the elevator. She awkwardly waited for him to press the button but when she felt like he was taking to long, her hand reached out, only for Kwon Ji Yong's hand to reach out. Brushing against each other. Nabi pulled her hand back and looked at any opposite direction Kwon Ji Yong was standing.

Kwon Ji Yong, for some reason, liked making her uncomfortable. He guessed it was her facial expressions whenever she was feeling embarrassed. He found it interesting that someone could be embarrassed just by one look at them. Every time he would eye her, her cheeks would turn red and she would look away. Not to mention her blank stares that she would give him. It made her look like she was brainless and nothing was going on in that pretty head of hers, but he noticed her cheeks turning red, so it meant she was thinking about something.

After getting into the elevator and riding it down, they walked up to Kwon Ji Yong's fancy car. Nabi wasn't sure if she saw it good last night since it was sort of dark out, but she hadn't noticed that his car was this fancy. It looked too expensive to even be traveling around Korea. Nabi had to think about what it was that Kwon Ji Yong actually did to afford this car. She had a thought about the car. If she were to sell the car, she wondered if she could buy out all of Seoul with the money she would get from doing so. But she was being her imaginative self like always.

"What are you waiting for? Get in." Kwon Ji Yong says as she stared blankly at his car.

"How do I get into this spacecraft? The door doesn't even have a handle." Nabi says innocently.

Kwon Ji Yong chuckled at her. He walked around and pushed the car door in, hearing a click before it popped back out. He opened it for Nabi and held it open for her to get in. She just stared at the door with big shocked eyes. She slowly walked towards the car before climbing in. She couldn't understand why someone would need a door with no handles. She didn't find any sense in having a car she wasn't able to get into.

Just like the last time, Nabi flinched as Kwon Ji Yong shut the door. He was starting to get curious about why she was flinching every time he shuts the door. He couldn't ask her either since they both barely know each other.

"We need to set something up." Kwon Ji Yong says when he got in.

"Set something up? Like what?" She asked.

"Since we're somewhat dating, we need rules. We'll treat it like we're actually dating. So no boyfriends." Kwon Ji Yong said remembering the guy in the photo.

"I don't have a boyfriend." She pointed out. "Well not a real one anyway."

Kwon Ji Yong sighed as they exited the parking lot and down the road to YG Entertainment. "Just checking. Don't misunderstand."

"I'm not." She simply replied. "Are we setting up the rules now?" Nabi asked.

"Well, when we're in public, we have to do skinship." Kwon Ji Yong smirked at seeing how fast Nabi's cheeks flushed.

"S...Skin...ship?" She stuttered.

"Yes. Holding hands and hugging. In public though. Maybe even in front of my other band members." Kwon Ji Yong turned the car as he pulled into YG Entertainment. "Do you have any inputs?" He asked.

"Everything you mentioned must apply to you as well." Nabi says.

"Of course." He smiles.

Kwon Ji Yong pulled up at the front entrance and got out while Nabi just sat there, confused. He walked on the other side of the car before opening Nabi's door for her to get out. It took her awhile before finally stepping out, holding her hand bag to her chest. After shutting the door, he turned around and leaned against his car. Nabi couldn't find anyone as cool as him.

"Go in. I'll park the car and talk to President Yang after." He said nodding his head towards the entrance of YG Entertainment.

Nabi bowed politely before turning around. She flashed her ID to the security booth and walked in. Kwon Ji Yong got off his car and went to drive again to park it. Pulling into his regular parking spot, he sat in there for a few minutes to think to himself.

He made the decision to agree on the whole ordeal on the whim. He hadn't really planned it thoroughly. When he looked at Nabi, who had agreed to the favor from her uncle with selfishless action. She wasn't in it for fame. Not that he knew of. Kwon Ji Yong was really sensitive when it came to getting close with someone. He couldn't really let someone get close since he was well known. His career came with him. So he wasn't sure what was to happen when people would slowly find out that he's dating someone. Even the relationship between Choi Seung-Hyun and Bae Jang Mi took a hit to their fanbase. A lot of VIPs were angry.

He sighed and went to park his car. He headed straight for President Yang's office and knocked on the door. As soon as he opened the door, he walked in. President Yang was signing papers when he called to whoever knocked to enter. He had to contain the smirk that wanted to spread across his mouth when he noticed Kwon Ji Yong walking in.

"Ji Yong-ah." President Yang greeted.

Kwon Ji Yong bowed. "Hello President Yang."

"What is it that I could do for you today?" He asked with humor in his tone.

Kwon Ji Yong cleared his throat. "I decided that I will do as you asked." He said softly.

"What was that? I couldn't hear you." He said playfully.

Kwon Ji Yong sighed. "I'll date Park Nabi." He sighed. "Just until the problem gets solved."

President Yang nodded. "What made you change your mind?" He asked.

Kwon Ji Yong scratched the back of his neck as his other hand dug deep into the pocket of his pants. In all honesty, he didn't know what changed his mind. He didn't know if it was Nabi's doing or his own mind making it up for him, he just knows he felt like doing this.

"I'll get going now President Yang." Kwon Ji Yong bowed and left President Yang's office without answering his question.
