CHAPTER 11: Thanks! I Hate It

HO-SEOK POV

" The shots should be at Hobified-Mind, thirty-five different picture shots with different wears and probably two or three videos....."

I was busy crossing checking how the promotion preparation was going as sent by Jason. They should have handled all these but that Jason will one way or the other dragged me in even after sending them the choreography I worked on.

Shouldn't the stylists and managers do all these? Jason is just being Jason and will tagged it "I want to make sure we doesn't disappoint your classic taste.

"Mtcheeew..."

When I was done, I dropped my tablet, I was getting ready when the ringing phone brought to my attention.

Picking it up,it was fvcking Jason reminding me of urgent brief at the office. I exhaled deeply, before ringing Hwangmin.

"Get the car ready."

Thirty minutes later Hwangmin pulled up at the company.

"Sir, everything is ready, however K25 wanted to have a word with you at his office."

"At his office?" Gosh! This will never end. Why did i have a feeling that accepting Kingsley's offer was a bad idea. I thought I was supposed to separate personal issues with work? But, Nawr!!! I was being mentally drained.

They say time heal, no it doesn't, I'm still mad asf.

I ignored my secretary remark and made my way to my office. Plugging myself down, i rung Jason.

"K25 office, really? Jason." I began without even letting the poor guy have a seat."

"Look, I'm just doing what's right for our business." Jason said with a lopsided smile, handing me the analysis layouts.

I let out a fake laugh as Jason took his seat. I'm not trying to blame him, of course he won't understand, as if having a promotion shoots with Isabella, oh sorry! Kathryn Howard, was not enough, I also have to visit her company.

The universe surely knows how to mess with me.

My expression went blank as I took the advert shoots layouts. The analysis was confidently displayed on the bigger screen, with Jason who was now standing by and explaining every single elements of the shoots.

I didn't say a word as I count the seconds ticking by, some details weren't favorable to me so I do strike them out to Jason's bewilderment.

"Sir, this is the part that will intrigue the targeted audi....."

"Shut up....." I cut him off, scowled at him.

"Are you afraid?" Jason raised an eyebrow, and I frowned at that. "What could I be possibly afraid of ?"

I scoffed, then refocused on the screen, analysing every details and I could feel Jason's eyes fixed on me.

I know Jason has been observing my attitude, it doesn't sound like my usual self, seemed Jason already realized the name K25 irked and pisses me off.

He knows how I love it whenever they were able to secure a deal with any top brands, infact, he knows how I love working with different brands, including kiddies world, but what he fell to understand was my reasons for hating this particular Label, Kingsley never did me any wrong but his top artist did.

"We are done here." I double tapped on my work table,spun my chair around,backing Jason. I just don't want to go further with any discussion, I already gotten the details I needed and corrected some errors.

I heard the door creaked and I exhaled, rubbing my eyes with my palms.

There is no much freedom in taking nothing personal. Someone doesn't like you? Not your problem. Someone doesn't want to be a part of you anymore? That's sounds cool! The rules says you should only want what wants you. Never did the rules says "Ruined them before leaving them."

Okay! I know I'm not a good fiance nor a good boyfriend neither, but what happened to talking things out? I don't know, I felt like my past has confront me and this time I promised I would never run away, never have I.

I'm not Bella. I huffed, ruffled my hair aggressively, my patience running thin, the thoughts about her and her company pisses me off.

I can't wait to get this done just to never cross paths with her again, ever again.

Once I was done, I picked my backpack and headed out, straight to my car, without exchanging any 'Hello, Hi' of any sort.

AT K25 LABEL.

BELLA POV.

"From the top..... Let's go....1.....2.....3 and 4..... Again...1....2.....3 and 4. Roll it."

"Twist your hip. Okay! To the front! Okay! To the left..... Right.....Hands up....Down... Here! Let's go.....Hip up! Twist it! Okay! Now roll it! Let's go! 1...2...3 and 4.... Again...1...2...3 and 4. From the top....1...2....3 and 4.....Drop it.

Believe me when I say this was one of the hardest practice I have ever done. The word 'Simple tasks' doesn't exist anymore as long as Ho-seok was involved. I have been working my ass off ever since the production crew sent out the chorography needed for the video shoots.

I just want to perfect this movements before we joined with the Hobified-Mind crew and having Ho-seok as the lead of this shoots, believe me when I said I'm putting in my best just to avoid be judged because everything that man does screamed perfection and I'm not going to let my ass get insulted because he looked like he has a lost to spite on me and I will be the dumbest bitch to give room for any vulnerability.

Love is amazing but it's also scary as fuck because it outcome is unknown and you just feel like a vulnerable idiot, probably the thrill of experiencing it might worth it.

I took a deep breath, rubbing my sweaty palms on my cuffed sweatpants. I have learnt to accept that it's not my fault when bad things happen to me or the people I love. It part of life. It's very unfair.

I huffed as I crouched down tiredly on the floor watching my back-up dancers trying out the steps as I called it out to them.

"From the top..... Let's go....1.....2.....3 and 4..... Again...1....2.....3 and 4. Roll it."

"Twist your hip. Okay! To the front! Okay!To the left..... Right.....Hands up....Down... Here! Let's go.....Hip up! Twist it! Okay! Now roll it! Let's go! 1...2...3 and 4.... Again...1...2...3 and 4. From the top....1...2....3 and 4.....Drop it.

"Take a break."
