Chapter 3 - Decisions, Decisions


Bae Jang Mi had entered her apartment in a daze. Her manager has been asking her for the reason she was called into President Yang's office. She reassured him that everything was fine. However, she was quite drained just by thinking about the actual reason she was called into President Yang's office. She couldn't concentrate on anything. She had taken a quick shower and sat on the thick beddings that was sprawled out on her bedroom floor of the apartment. Her knees were hugged to her chest as her mind kept replaying what happened in the office.
The idea was absurd. She couldn't do it. Why was T.O.P so eager to accept the deal? Jang Mi couldn't find any explanation to what just happened. She wished that President Yang had just asked for the figurines instead of this proposal. Proposal? Why would she think of that word? Her life is going to turn upside down by this. This idea was mad and she didn't want any part of it.

"Just give me until tonight to figure out my answer. I'll let you know by morning tomorrow."

Bae Jang Mi remembers telling President Yang and T.O.P just that before she left in a hurry. She couldn't possibly do what President Yang asked. Instead she thought it was just a dream. A dream that she had while not sleeping. Jang Mi hated confrontation. Especially while making life changing choices like this. Was she overthinking it? T.O.P took the deal as soon as it was heard. Has he gone mad? How could she do this for the company? Especially with him? Jang Mi didn't know him. She only knew him as a member of Big Bang and a successful actor as well. What was she going to do? Maybe she was overthinking it. Again, what happened in President Yang's office played out in her head.

"I'll do whatever you want me to." T.O.P said sincerely as President Yang smirked.

"Are you sure? You can't take it back." President Yang replied smirking at the two.

"Why?" Bae Jang Mi asked. She spoke up after a short pause. "You're not trying to create some type of distraction right? By using us?" She paused again before speaking. "No. It's not what I'm thinking right?"

"What?" Both President Yang and T.O.P had asked but both with different reasons.

"Are you creating a scandal of your own? It can't be right? I'm just crazy." Jang Mi laughs while T.O.P joins in. Their laughs subside as President Yang sat quietly. "No! That's ridiculous." She snapped but toned it down after remembering she was talking to her boss. "I'm sorry." She said squeezing her tightly eyes shut.

"You are a smart as people say you are." President Yang smirked. "It's exactly what I want. To be honest I was against it at first because I didn't want any idols involvement in case this issue blew up and exposing you both. However, now that I'm looking at you two together, you guys look perfect together." Jang Mi confusingly pointed between herself and T.O.P as her cheeks redden. "You two will only have to fake date for a while until I solve the problem. I don't want it out because then the investigation group is going to come and have me arrested until the truth comes out. I need to figure this out on my own."

"If it's that bad then I'll do it." T.O.P says.

"I don't expect an answer now but soon. I'm asking for a favor. Will it harm you two to date?" President Yang says more towards Jang Mi and for whatever reason, Jang Mi thought it sounded more urgent.

"Just give me until tonight to figure out my answer. I'll let you know by morning." Bae Jang Mi stood up and bowed deeply before leaving his office.

Bae Jang Mi couldn't handle the commitment or responsibility that came from doing this favor for President Yang. This could be bad and good depending on the situation. It'll be good because she can actually help the company in a way. How could she turn down something that might affect a ton of people who worked under this company? The bad thing is, if the world found out about the scandal at hand, then they'll be put out immediately. Then her whole career would go down the drain and she'll be known as the girl who fake dated the rapper of Big Bang. It was risky doing it but the guilt of not doing it could tear her apart.
Jang Mi was being selfish. She was only thinking about herself in a serious situation like this. Jang Mi made the final decision and she decided that she'll do it. She'll pay a visit first thing in the morning. She'll help the company. There must have been a reason why President Yang had chosen her. Out of all the great named and highly loved actresses under the company, the good old Papa YG-nim chose her to fake date T.O.P. If they were going to do it this way, the company can't just out and say that T.O.P and actress Bae Jang Mi are dating. It sounds suspicious. Especially because nobody has ever caught they're picture in public. Sneaking around like normal celebrities do when secretly trying to date each other is what they should do if Choi Seung-Hyun agrees with her.

Suddenly a knock was sounded through Bae Jang Mi's front door, breaking her concentration. She was too lazy to get up and answer the door but another knock came. Louder than the last one. She got up in annoyance and headed to the direction of her front door only to hiss at the contact of her elbow and the doorframe. Great, it's going to be bruised. She thought. Jang Mi rushed to turn on the lights, not liking the darkness of her living room. The knocks impatiently continued to sound off throughout Jang Mi's apartment. Jang Mi quickly rushed to the door only to fall because she left her shoes in the hallway instead of the area where shoes are supposed to be left at. Finally reaching the door she opened it ready to yell but only ended up bowing at the view in front of her

"Please come in." Jang Mi says blankly.
