As you sit with down into the folding chair emblazoned with Yunki Min on the back you cover your lap and legs with the oversized down coat. You close your eyes for a moment to enjoy the warmth in the jacket left from being wrapped around Yoongi's body, and then you take another few seconds to contemplate just being wrapped around Yoongi's body. Your blush from a few minutes ago hasn't really faded yet and your current thought pattern is doing nothing to help that.

You startle a bit as you feel vibrations against your leg and reach down to check your phone. It's 11am and the alarm you set to remind you to contact HYBE-LA has gone off.

Before you start that path you really need to get ahold of Jason and let him know what happened with the trailer, and to see if he can get you your own credentials, at least for today. You look up to see Jason standing in the camera area talking with another gentleman. You're not into this scene enough to recognize best boys versus cinematographers, not to mention which unit this is, but recognize that he's doing his job.

Jason happens to glance up and you wave a bit to catch his attention. He waves back and holds up five fingers and turns back to the man he is speaking to. Fair enough, you've already eaten a ton of Jason's time this morning, you can wait a few more minutes.

You dig into your phone and between the screen shots from Yoongi earlier, the packet from Jason and the info sent to you by Ji-Ho Kim at the temp agency, you have a fairly good idea who to contact. But this chair is a fairly open area, and this will not be a conversation you want available to the general public. You realize you're going to have to go back to the back set again to find that modicum of privacy, and decent cell reception before another wave from Jason catches your attention.

He's signaling off to one side of the stage, so you put on Yoongi's coat and grab his backpack and head over to meet Jason, not wanting to leave anything behind. As you approach Jason gives you a once over.

"(Y/N) you look like an Asian tourist. Whats with all the stuff." He says as he stares at the coat.

"Jason, I'm the assistant now, so I need to take care of the talents items, and since he has no trailer in which we can safely leave things behind..." you trail off and wait for Jason to catch up.

He winces before responding.

"No trailer at all? I haven't been able to talk to Kyle yet, what happened?" Jason sighs, probably thinking about all the paperwork he's going to have to fill out to fix this. And while you're sympathetic, it really is his job anyways to fix.

"Kyle said that the trailer was a wash. Apparently, she sat in the living room area to smoke what she brought," you begin to tell Jason what happened but when you mention she was in the living room area he winces again.

"Oh man, the clouds that were pouring out when we first opened the door and she was in the living area? It means all the leather and carpet will have to be cleaned twice. Probably even the walls will have to be steamed to get the smell out. Where is she now?" Jason's anger starts to rise again and you realize you'll want to move quickly to redirect him.

"Kyle said she had a bit too much pot on her for his team to deal with, so he was going to check in with CPD" you reply.

Your response brings Jason to a dead stop as he turns to stare at you wide eyed.

"Kyle said he had to bring in the cops? Holy shit are you being serious right now (Y/N)? Aw man that is what I do NOT need to deal with. I'll have to get Derek to deal with that, things are already backing up out here." Jason turns to spin away but you catch his attention one more time.

"Jason, Kyle didn't mention that he had found Marie Wang's set credentials, and I only have my own," and here you trail off not sure how to explain but gesturing towards the lanyard around your neck.

Jason pauses and a lighter expression enters his face. This is more like the Jason Avercedes you know from meeting at Katia and Derek's house, and it helps ratchet down your anxiety.

"Your...borrowed credentials (Y/N)?" Jason smiles. "Yea we can get you some of your own, but it'll take a bit. I'll add that to Derek's pile and either he or Kyle will make sure you get them. In the meantime just keep your borrowed set on." Jason smirks as he replies but you appreciate the kindness.

"Thanks Jason. Hey would you know a quieter spot with decent cell reception? I think it's time I contacted the talent's agency in LA and got some answers."

Jason nods and points toward an area closer to the stage.

"If you go up there and hang a sharp right, just before you run into the stage, there's a tiny tiny office over there. Derek and I are using it now, but you can borrow it. There is NO heat in there, so you won't want to stay in there long, but it has multiple windows for some reason, so reception is pretty good in there." Jason's radio squawks and a voice comes through asking for him.

"I have to bail you have everything you need for now?" Jason asks, his hand already reaching for the radio.

"I'm good. Thank you for everything Jason!" you call as he strides away to deal with his next issue.

You make your way to the little office Jason mentioned and see Yoongi on the soundstage waiting for blocking to finish positioning him for the shot. You give him a little way and smile, and he returns the smile and a little nod before focusing back on the PA and the assistant director.

You turn into the little doorless office and see that Jason wasn't kidding when he said it was tiny. And cold. You realize you had left your boiling hot tea over by the talent chairs and it was probably stone cold by now. And Yoongi hadn't gotten anything at all. You were starting to think you weren't doing very good at taking care of your talent on this your imaginary first day.

You gingerly sat down in the chair you found in the office, and immediately stood back up again, certain that the chair was about to fall apart entirely. You decided the metal desk was a better place to sit, and immediately jumped up from there as well. Even with Yoongi's huge down coat between your butt and the metal desk, it was still cold. No wonder Jason and Derek weren't in here.

You decided to just stand and get this over with as quickly as possible to get back to the warmth of the space heaters. It dawns on you rather belatedly that the reason no one was over in the talent chair area is that they were probably all nice and toasty in their trailers. Which is hopefully where you and Yoongi would be tomorrow. You paused a moment to reflect on the concept that there was a "you and Yoongi" and "tomorrow" together and the warmth the idea brought to you.

Your phone in hand, you dial the number you had programmed in for the HYBE-LA Office.

When you reach the switchboard operator, you ask to be connected with Park Eun-Jin.

"Who?" asked the operator.

You paused puzzled. You tried again

"I have a contract here for a talent for a movie production in Chicago Illinois, and the contact says that it was completed by Eun-Jin Park. Can you I be transferred to her or someone in her office please?"

Again, the operator paused before answering.

"Is this in regards to a specific talent?" she asks.

Ok this is just weird. Again. Rolling your eyes you stomped your feet a bit to get any warmth you could into them and reached out to zip up Yoongi's coat. It really was freezing in this room.

"Yes," you confirm to the operator. "This is in regards to a specific South Korean talent, who is in Chicago to work on a film production, but is known to HYBE as a producer/rapper for a large culturally significant group. Could you please transfer me to someone who could discuss this contract?"

You hoped your mention of culture significance is enough to trip the operators memory, and sure enough you hear a small "Oh" on the other end of the line.

"Just a moment, and I will transfer you to our music division" she says. You're calling about a film question, but it makes sense that contracts for Yoongi would be handled through a music representative. Doesn't it?
