Jisoo tapped his foot in agitation as he sat in the black van his manager and stylist drove him around in. He looked outside the window to see them pulling up to the company building. As per usual there was a flock of fans sitting outside with adoring posters, waiting in hopes to see their favourite stars. Today was their lucky day.
“Ugh.” Jisoo groaned and leaned back against his seat. “Fans again?”
“Fans are kind of normal territory if you’re Korea’s top star. ‘Korea’s sweetheart’.” Snorted his manager, Kwon Eun-Bi, from the front seat. Jisoo rolled his eyes. “I know that, but that doesn’t mean I like it.” The van parked out front and instantly fans stood up screaming, running to the car wondering who it was. Bodyguards came from the company and made a path for him to get through.
“Time to face the sheep.” Jisoo said sardonically. Eun-Bi sighed and shook her head. “Don’t forget to put on your face.” Jisoo smirked, “I would never.”
You see, Jisoo had two “faces” if you will. One, his sweet, happy, beautiful Korea’s Sweetheart face. The face that everyone knew him by, the face his fans loved and cried for. Then of course was two; Jisoo’s true face. His lying, manipulative, attention-seeking asshole side known only by those sworn to secrecy of the company. He was sure most people wouldn’t be able to get away with such an attitude. But most people weren’t as successful as Jisoo.
The doors to the van opened up and Jisoo slid out with a cute smile on his face, bowing his head politely to the fans who began to go wild. He even threw in a wave or two. As soon as he stepped through the safety of the company doors, the facade dropped.
“C’mon.” He huffed. “I don’t want to be here all day.”
They went upstairs to the meeting room. The room in which he would be signing a contract to do a damn duet with a new singer he had barely heard of. Okay, maybe he had heard of him a little; but only enough to know his fame was fairly recent and he was fresh to the scene in comparison to himself. It had pissed Jisoo off to no end, but his manager assured him that he would be allowed to take a month long break after promotions and touring finished to do whatever he pleased. The prospect of that was enough to suffer through the duet.
Jisoo slammed the doors open with a huff, rolling his eyes at all the people at the table, the CEO looking right sheepish at the sight of Jisoo. Could he blame him? No. Jisoo knew he was a devil wearing human skin. Did he care? Also no.
“Let’s hurry this thing along. I have more important places to go, and people I would rather not be seeing.”
