This is a bad idea.
She can feel it, she know it.
From the moment she read the arrival signage in Incheon Airport to the first meeting at the joint company
which is today.
She take a deep breath in front of the wooden meeting door
Once
Twice
She blew hard
It isn't working.
I need to smoke.
she turn around and almost scream seeing human form inches away from her
'xbdhdfteero vsguekowcdfd?' He speaks alien which is actually the native language
which i think later on alien really suit his character with blonde hair, white porcelain skin and thick black eyeliner eyes, kids these day
'Whatever' she gave him the hand and walk straight to smoking room
the other thing I hate about this company, smoking room the only place i can smoke
She stop.
Outside looks tempting
What the hell.
She feels liberating.
nobody will found her here because in this Godforsaken company even smoking outside forbidden
Did i care? Absofuckinglutely not.
Hell, I am foreigner. I’m suppose to not know about that
'Hahahhahahahaha' she laugh
Ah, this really feel nice.
Nothing cigarette can't heal
she threw the cigarette carelessly
'Agree. Can I have a light?' She jumps on the sight of him.
'Sure' she kinda trembling of shock
the lighter not working, shit!
'Let me' he chuckle and took the lighter, his hand so warm
'Thank you' that warm hand again
'You welcome'
should I go?
I'm finish smoking right?
Should I wave him goodbye?
Wave him goodbye???do you know him?stupid girl!
now really not the time to act like stupid school girl.
STUPID!!!
Why is it everytime you meet tall, deep voice and deep eyes all of your body become jellyfish ha?!!
use that brain of yours, stupid girl!
say something!
'Thank you for the lighter again but I suggest you're not smoking alone in here, they'll found out.' He smile and walk into the building
'You welcome. Do you think so? So where the safest place to smoke because I really hate smoking room, YOU SHOULD SAY THAT!!stupid!!stupid!!!' She pull her hair and stomp on the concrete
Why God??why me? Why now?
*******
He abrubtly stop, looking outside with interest.
That crazy woman, what is she doing? She didn't just knock her head to glass, did she? Why she pulling her hair like that?
'Hahahhahahaahaha' he laughs hard when she look shock seeing her reflection from the mirror lobby
Ah, its going tobe a good day. He thought
******
She looking at each of her team, they look so young!
'I'm sorry for not presenting for our client but I have other meeting to attend but I believe you all can handle it nicely'
and so fucking paperthin!
'Park hyo jeun?' She read the paper in her hand
'De..I mean yes' one superthin girl with super cool wave brown hair bow her head.
shit! Where did she get that killer pumps??
'Choi sangra?' She guess the clad tight jeans girl will bow, yes! She's right.
'Park beom seu?' She guess the colorful guy -cos he's wearing red skinny jeans and apple green tee with purple scarf - will bow instead the sharp looking guy - cos he's wearing slim fit shirt and pants with matches vest -so my type!!-, bowing to her
she kinda like the cool aura this guy have but the name didn't fit him
'Kang tae sung?'
'Me!! Hallo' yes that colorful guy jumps and wave his hand without bowing she notice
'Well hello me..' she smile, this guy makes me wanna smile,
she feel the tension abit down because now everybody try to hid their smile at his antique
'Go sa rang?' That leave a small girl with big glasses. Yep, she's bowing her head.
'My name Natasha putri manalu, I don't like the formality so just call me Natasha. Thank you for covering me at earlier meeting, can I have the summarize of the meeting before lunch?' She saw super thin girl nod
'Thank you. Any of you smoking?' She saw their face turn to confuse then doubt
'I'm smoking' sharp guy answer
' Me sometimes if world seems to against me' again colorful guy answer make me smile
'Nice to know your bleak moment catalyst 'me'..Anyone else?' She look around the girls
‘me' the clad tight jeans answer
'Good. I'm smoking too and next time you guys sneak for a smoke anywhere beside that fucking smoking room, let me know' they all wide eyed at her language
'Oh, don't be so surprise you will hear it now and then' she waive their shock
'I need full profile of the client, image request and marketing plan. Before lunch?' they all nod
'Okay then. Thank you' she excuse them all and notice client profile already at her desk,
These thin people really good at their works.
Smoking outside, she flips through the file, another boy band?
Geez how many this country can have?
She usually works with politicians, public figure whenever they need their image boost.
Here I have to work with fucking boy band!
Shit, I have to stop using that word. Really bad for my image
'Pujangnim..' The tap startle her
'Fuck!' She spill her coffee
'I'm sorry..I'm soorry' Small girl trembling to her feet
'I'm okay. What is it?' She throw her cigarette
'Client just call they want to talk to you but you left your handphone at office, we can't reach you'

'did you bring your cell?'
'Ye..s'
'Dial their number and now you've officially my assistant' she gulp the coffee and throw the cup to the bin
'Walk me through' she took the cell and hand her the file
'Yes, hello. I'm very sorry but I have ..' She glare at small girl who mouthed 'meeting'
' A meeting earlier ago. I'm planning on meeting you actually after I wrap all the information' she click her finger at small girl who scrabble through the files
'Yes, I'm aware of the situation..I'm aware of..' Small girl fingered 2
'2 situation we have actually but I'll work something up first, email to you the update and I'll see you on..'
Small girl mouthed 'Thursday, 10am'
'Thursday around 10am?excellent. Bye now'
she flip close the cell phone and hand it to small girl 'Thank you. Do you have my schedule?'
'Next is your 2pm meeting' small girl check her phone
weird how she have my schedule on her phone
'I have 2pm meeting?'
'Everyday. Mostly with major client or top management' quick answer
'Ask the team to gear me up for my 2pm meeting'
*********************
She really can't speak when her 2pm meeting arrive.
They are the most beautiful men she ever see with bare eyes
'Please take a seat gentlemen' i really need cigarette now
' You are foreign?' She glare at thin people, cool hair girl mouthed 'manager'
'Yes, Natasha Manalu. I’m replacing Mr. Sothwiter since he is retire now' she offer him her hand
' Lee man soo. We have some situation here' they shake hand
'Yes I'm aware with it and already taking some preventive act' colorful guy hand her some file
'Are you asian?' One one those beautiful men spoke to her
'Yes I am mr. Micky? But I'm not Thailand if you’re guessing' she smile and almost faint when he smiled back and they start talking in korean,
even their voice so beautiful. What are they?angels?
'What kind of preventiveu act you mean?' The most beautiful among them speak with soft voice she almost miss it
'Mr. Hero we..'
'Jaejoong please' he corrected her to his real name
'Jaejoong it is. We already email blasting all your fan site that it occur on friendly basis' she turn to superthin girl who translate it
She flick through the files and her eyes almost popout on one word
-Caught tongue kissing- hollykemolly!!
Their gay???
Which one?? Hero and U-know..
which one is U-know? i turn her gaze and almost have a heart attack
HE IS GODGIVEN GORGEOUS!!!
'Pujangnim' a light tap on her shoulder
'I'm sorry..' She shook her head then regain her calm
'Why you kiss him U-know?' Super thin girl about to translate when U-know raise his hand
'Yunho please. Is it wrong for people in love to show their affection?' She notice Hero soothing and admiration stare to U-know
'Absolutely not.' She answers quickly
‘if you do it, one: with girl. Two: in your private area. Three: not with tongue and all the grabbing' she add
Someone chuckle
she inhale slowly because the one who chuckled look very cute with dimple,
if all the boyband ihave to dealt with are like these..I’ll die either of heart attack or suffocation
'Junsuyah..' Now she know how to identified Hero voice, velvet.
He should be banned saying vocal word, makes one horny. Damn! He's gay?with that adonis decendant over there?? Life just perfect!
'Pujangnim' again she got tapped
'I'm sorry, as long as your management agree with your situation, we'll work on the image. Don't be too stress about it'
she try to penetrate a soothing look to all that angels and notice one of the tall and thin Is spacing out
scary to see how thin he is with all the tall figure he have, scarecrow?
'Should we hold presscon?' The manager make her turn around from that scarecrow angel
'At this rate no. We wait for fans reaction. Why is he so skinny? What image to ploy on him?' She point her finger at scarecrow angel who look surprise and that gave away the scarecrow to boycute,
i desperately need cigarette or alcohol or better... both
'We don't have image to ploy on him, what makes you think like that?' Even the manager look puzzled
'He came to me as scary and cold person before the facial expression that is'
Now all the angels look to super thin girl for translation
' You look scary to me too' thin angel spoke with sharp tone once super thin girl finish translating
Quite surprising, i thought they all sound magical but this one sound practical? Cynical?
but almost all other person in that room hid their smile or hold their laugh
'Really? Me?' She glance over to her team
'Yes ma'am you look a bit scary' sharp guy grinning
' Okay then I'm scary but really you have to gain a bit, you look old' she shrug her shoulder
'Like you?'
Sharp tongue? No it poison mouth
'Like me. Gain some and you can be my masturbation poster boy' all eyes gone wide like it want to jump even the scary angel itself
'I like you. You're feisty' manly angel spoke 1st
' Micky..visit me before my morning coffee, you'll see how feisty I am'
i really need those alcoholic cigarette (if such thing exist)
'That I consider invitation' he basically purr to her
if not how i process those deep and silk voice in my brain?
'Just call from my free schedule. Anyone else have anything to confess? If not I guess that would be all and I'll keep you posted on the response.' She wraps everything up
'How long we should wait for reaction?'
'We'll check all the fan site tomorrow and one more thing..Can you guys keep up the affection thing? Without the tongue kiss of course' she got the puzzle look again
' I don't believe you're adjust to our tradition here in Korea miss..' Le man soo talking between gritted teeth
'I'm aware of the tradition but with all do respect sir ' she accentuate -sir- along with the icy stare that her team soon recognize as her rage
'I'm the one your company paid a fortune for image controlling and that's what I do here'
she rose to her desk, scrabble something, tear it out and handed it to the manager
' My paycheck. Spend it if it turnout bad publicity instead the boys image mine once it turnout as I said' she still standing holding out the paper
'I don't know should I praise you for your confident or fired you for your antiques' lee man soo laugh and accept the check
'Just keep my boys pretty and healthy..' one icy glance to skinny angel
'For their music, the image part leave it to me' she smile warmly which took them all by surprise
They all rose and bowing their goodbye that's when she shock them
Instead bidding her goodbye, she pull each of that angel to a warm embrace and a kiss in each cheek
'Keep your act together okay?' She spoke soft to U-know
'I trust you on this don't ruin it' she felt Hero holding her too
'Please eat more you're too adorable to be this skinny' she's rubbing Max back softly
'Come by anytime, I'll have your cup ready' to her surprise Micky kiss her cheek first
'I'll do that noona'
She turn her gaze to the cute angel, Xiah
' I don't get a hug?' He said innocently
'You're too cute for your own image' she hugged him, cup his face in her hand and kiss each blushing cheek
'I'll send you email for our image controlling Mr. Lee' she shake the manager hands
'Thank you. Nice meeting you Ms. Manalu'
once all of them left the room and secure in lift she grabbed her cigarette
'Smoke?' She look at her team then walk toward roof, colorful guy and clad jeans girl tailing her behind
'God!' She drag deep for her cigarette
'I could die of heart attack there you know' she talk between smoke
'Why? you’d have them square pujangnim' clad jeans girl blew the smoke
' didn’t you notice how insanely gorgeous they all are?' She practically scream, colorful guy and clad jeans girl look her in awe then burst to laugh
'But you look very cool in there pujangnim..I think they're the one having the heart attack' the sharp guy appears handing them cold drink together with super thin and small girl
'How many are there like them we have to handle?' She open her coke can
'Aloot!' Her team answer in unison
She look at them wide eye
'The same beautiful features?'
' Well, they are the fairest if I have to say but yes there are many of them' super thin girl inhale her cigarette
Didn’t she said she's not smoking?
'That because you have a crush on yoochun ssi' colorful guy poking her
'I think I also have a crush with one of them' she fumed her 2nd cigarette
' Who doesn't? yunho ssi is my most frequent Quote unquote masturbation poster boy' colorful guy grinning wide
'Eww too much information' small girl wrinkle her nose, she laughing loud
' I can't believe I said that out loud' then she laugh hysterically along with all her team
'I'm having my heart attack at that very moment' sharp guy laugh
' Let's cheer for uri pujangnim quotes and many more to come I believe' clad jeans girl raising her can
'Many more will come' she grin and also raising her can
'Gumbee' all their can crack together
'Welcome to our office pujangnim' small girl smile
‘why you hugs them pujangnim if I may ask?' Small girl look from her can
'I can't resist feeling them and tasting them, actually. Specially those two? Hero and U-know..Yes you're right' she point her can to colorful guy
'He can be my masturbation poster boy anytime, anywhere, any position' she wink while crashing her can
All of them chuckle but then burst out laugh
There on top of the roof with cans of cokes, packs of cigarette and her team
