Chapter Text
"You did great as usual." Her manager warmly smiled to her as she stepped out of the dressing room, she just finished shooting a variety show along with other big artists and she couldn't say that she enjoyed it because it was indeed awful for her. she was surrounded by whom she thought were nice people but were assholes behind the scenes.
that's what she hate the most, the two-faced people.
"It was hell." she wearily smirked as she put her coat on, it was getting cold as it was finaly December. she just had her comeback last month and today is the end of her promotions, she could finally take a break from the music shows, radio and most importantly, the show she attended just now. not that she hates them, she just hates how they are so early and late. "this is my last schedule right?"
"yeah, you have 2 free months...don't look at me like that Minjeong." Her manager snickered, noticing how there was a glint of doubt on the younger's beautiful eyes. "I swear you don't have any more follow up schedules, if there are, I'll just talk it out to the producers and executive, you deserve a break." he reached out and pat the younger's head as they walked towards their mini van at the underground parking lot.
"can't blame me, last time you told me that I have a month free and the next day you called me saying I have to attend a radio show." Minjeong shooked her head.
"well that one was suddenly added on your schedule, didn't have time to talk it out." her manager sheepishly smiled to her as they took the elevator. "I swear I'll double check your schedule and make sure nothing is added."
"you should, you don't know how much I panicked waking up to your text saying I should wash up already because you're on your way to my unit." Minjeong pouted.
They soon stepped out of the elevator and as they walked, her manager blabbered about her past schedules and how hectic they were. not that he was overracting, minjeong's past schedule was too much for her to take that she almost passed out once, good thing her manager and stylists were there to make sure that she's fine. she stepped into the mini van after her manager opened the door for her and let out a sigh of relief as she sat at the familiar leather seat and got greeted by pink pringles.
her eyes were surely sparkling at the sight, Chan, her manager, who was at the driver's seat chuckled. "someone sent those, I didn't get their name tho. must be one of your biggest fans."
Minjeong only smiled as she cracked her knuckles and flexed her fingers. "I'll just listen to some songs here." she uttered, grabbing her phone and earphones.
"sure, rest well Min."
"make sure you sleep early okay? and do not skip your meals, just because you're on break it doesn't mean that I won't check up on you." her manager reminded her for the 3rd time as they entered her unit that was left a mess this morning. "you can spend your break on fixing your fucked up sleep sched."
"come on, I just slept on the van earlier." Minjeong pouted as she sent puppy eyes to her manager who put down the gifts from her fans on the floor.
"that was a short 30 minutes nap, kid." her manager pat her head. "anyways I'll be going now okay? don't do anything stupid, I swear you almost gave me an heart attack once when you called me at 2 AM and drunk...plus weeping."
"come on I was going through something back then, it's valid." the pout lingered.
"still, good thing you didn't go outside unlike other artists and caused a scandal." Chan snickered. "I'll be going now yeah? if you're still going through something or still going through the same thing just call me and I'll give you company, no need to drink your heart out."
Minjeong snickered. "okay, takre care too and drive safely Chan."
Chan only beamed a smile as he put the pink pringles down on the table, he checked on the windows first and closed the curtains before bidding goodbye to the blonde, not forgetting to remind her that he'll keep on checking on her eventho she's on break.
Minjeong let a sigh out once the male was out of sight, she's finally back in her unit and alone...what is she going to do now?
she got rid of her coat, letting it drop on the floor before reaching for the remote of the TV that she rarely uses and turned it on before letting herself down on the leather couch. what is she going to do now? she got used on having everything scheduled but now, she has nothing to follow. she sighed as she tilted her head, noticing a yellow paper sticked on one of the stuffed toys in the box Chan was carrying earlier. she reached out for it and read it out loud.
"To my Polaris, you did well today as always. please take care of yourself. I love you."
minjeong used to get a spark inside of her whenever she'd read notes from fans, however, she only cracked a small smile before putting it away again and turned her attention back to the TV that was showing her a popular Korean Drama. minjeong wondered, since when did she lose the sparks? her mind wandered, she's been in the industry for years, she was and is still successful, she's adored by many and is part of many group of friends. she should be happy, right?
but why does the feeling of being lonely and empty always hit her more? she's satisfied with everything, or so she thought, she have almost everything...so what is the reason behind the heavy, sinking feeling in her chest? she continued on wondering until her phone's screen light up, her friend's name popping out with a certain message that put an answer to her question.
Aeri: hey! I know you two broke up already but can you fetch Jimin? she went out again and I'm not really free right now.
Ningning is busy on her cram shool too.
Minjeong contemplated if she should answer it, but in the end she just let it be. why should she? She has nothing to do with the raven-haired girl anymore. The blonde girl took a cushion and cuddled with it, closing her eyes as she cleared off the image of the certain girl's off her head.
forget about her, forget about her, forget about her.
Minjeong chanted in her head but only groaned because the image of Jimin only got clearer. She put the cushion down as she opened up her small bag and fished out her notepad and pen, looks like she'll spend another night thinking about her, and writing about her.
She wasn't really fond of writing as she had doubts, however, Chan managed to have his hands on her notepad one day and have accidentally read one of her written tracks, she remembers how she grabbed it from his grasps and sent him a glare that, instead of giving him chills, made him chuckle before complimenting her writing.
She sighed, Chan was just probably joking, he always makes sure that everyone around him are in good mood anyways, he probably only complimented her because he knows about her want of producing on her own but has doubts eventho she have went through training for it.
"I'll just talk to him tomorrow." She muttered as she picked up her pen and uncapped it.
May whatever she write this night, reach her home.
