Chapter 4 - Just The Start
After a while of hearing nothing from this Cha Su-Bin, Seungri decided that it was a loss cause. Thinking she was probably too drunk to even remember what had happened. Since that incident, Seungri took the initiative to stop drinking for awhile. The thought of what he did, regardless under the influence of being drugged and drunk, he felt really bad but didn't know what to do from then on. When he sought out advice from his other members, also informing them that she has yet to call even after leaving more than three messages, they suggested he should stop drinking and move on from the situation. So he agreed to do just that
Seungri was currently visiting his dance academy. He entered the small building, giving the small posters of famous idols who have attended the academy a once over before finally moving on. He usually checked up with the dance academy from time to time. He didn't run it since he was always too busy but since it was something he cared about, he made sure he always took the time off to make sure the sail boat was sailing smoothly.
The manager of the branch he entered, immediately greeted Seungri with absolute adoration. "President Lee." He bowed respectfully.
"Manager Han, you don't have to call me that. It's embarrassing." Seungri says honestly. "I just came to check on the students. Maybe even meet some of them. They might want to ask me for advice." He says confidently.
"Actually, it's good you're here. I've been struggling with the dance teachers. I've gone through three who couldn't train the trainees properly. I had to fire them. I've been searching for a good choreographer who can deal with temperamental teenagers." Han Man Suk says.
His receding hairline was the obvious proof of his stress while managing this academy branch. He was hired with a full set of hair. Since working here, it slowly started to disappear. The students were a little more on the bratty side with the expectation to succeed SNSD fame the moment they debuted. The time spent with these kids over the years has obviously took a toll on Man Suk.
Seungri was thoughtful for a few seconds before sighing. "How about I help find one? You have to continue looking since my process will be slower but I will contribute to the search." He smiles. "Now, I'll go check out the students."
Seungri headed first into the recording studio. There were two recording studios and one held a mixture of young kids both male and female. The vocal trainer sat at the soundboard but nobody was inside the booth but from what Seungri was hearing, it was the vocal coach having a one on one with each kid while being on their level. Kids were to be taught at a different level and Seungri made sure of that. He was happy to see the process.
"Hello." Seungri entered smiling while bowing to the vocal coach. "Coach Bong, it's good to see you."
Bong Jae Yun is in his mid thirties but still had the vibe of a fresh college graduate. He was in a failed pop group but took his passion to be an idol and put it into training idols. He's really good at it too. Seungri was happy to have him work under him.
"Look everyone, it's Seungri." Jae Yun says. "How do we greet our seniors?" He asks and watches each of his students bow and greet Seungri formally. "Sorry. Still teaching them a few manners for when they become idols."
"That's great. How's it going so far? Any problems?" Seungri asks.
"Kids, it's break time. You guys need to stand in a straight line and head to dance studio 1." He ordered. "What studio?" He asked and received the correct answer from them. He then turned to Seungri when the last child exits the room. "I have some complaints." He says.
"Lay it on me." Seungri says with a smile.
"Well, the younger kids are great. They listen well and they do commands accordingly. The ones who are in their early teens need to be trained better or punched in the face. Either one should suffice with me." He says.
"No punching students in the face." Seungri says with amusement. "But yes, I have already heard the complaint on this and I'm going to be looking into a new choreographer who can handle such a handful. Their families are the ones who pay a lot of money." He sighed running a hand through his hair. "I can't believe I've become those type of businessmen." He said with an annoyed sigh. "Anyways, I might not want to meet with any of them because of their attitudes. I will head out for now. I'll visit soon."
Seungri left the building with a sigh. He didn't think it was that bad. As he was heading towards his car, his phone rang with a text message. He read it and it caused a brow to be raised. The message said it was from Cha Su-Bin who was returning his message. She also informed Seungri that her phone had been in the shop since it broke during their first meeting. He wondered if it was his fault for her broken phone. He couldn't remember a thing about that night at the bar so he was struggling to figure everything out on his own. If she had finally reached out to him, he figured she wanted something. Because it was mostly his fault, he was willing to give the girl everything so long as she accepted his apology.
..........................
Seungri had entered a cafe wearing a thick sweater along with a cap and shades in a way to help hide his identity. He marched straight to the back corner and scanned the area making sure nobody would see him. It was mostly elderly people in the cafe which meant they wouldn't bother him. He stood out more because he was trying to hide. However, nobody paid him any mind.
Seungri sat for about ten minutes until a shadow was casted over him. Turning his head to see who stood beside him, he was met with the sight of an actual angel. Her hair is short and brown. She wore long sleeves and jean shorts. The shorts had rips in them showing more skin than necessary. Her features were almost too perfect. The smoothness of her skin, sharp nose and even her jaw was so perfect. He believed she might had a visit to a doctor to help make that happen. He really couldn't wrap his mind around how could someone look so perfect. However, she scoffed and put a finger at the tip of her nose and pushed her nose up.
"Everyone stares at me like that when I first meet them. I was really born like this." She says with a hint of amusement. "Everyone thinks I get plastic surgery but I'm scared of doctors." She smiled and sat in the chair across from him. "I'm Cha Su-Bin." She says bowing and holding her hand out for him to shake.
Seungri took her hand and felt the slight roughness of her palms, as if she was a construction worker once. "I'm Seungri and I didn't think you go plastic surgery." He lied.
Smiling, knowing all too well she nodded. "Alright. Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you." She easily added since she knew the real reason for her to wait so long was because she needed to heal.
"No, I'm glad you called. About that night, I don't remember any of it." Seungri says.
"Yeah. The whole place was drugged." She smiles.
"Should we order a drink before we discuss this?" Seungri asks.
Su-Bin nodded. "You stay here. I'll get the drinks before anyone recognizes you." She says standing up. "What would you like to drink? On me." Before he could speak, against the idea of her paying, she shook her head and repeated, "On me."
Sighing he nodded. "I'll have the green tea."
