Let Me Love You

Work vs personal

Rowoon stared at the screen as she tried to sort out the rest of Jiho's tour. He had wanted to add more dates in South America so she had been on the phone constantly with translators and reps from other venues. She hadn't even stopped for lunch.

She sat back as she contemplated which ones to accept. They were reaching the end of the budget for the tour. Jiho wanted two more shows in Colombia and Brazil but there was only enough for Brazil. If they'd had the revenue from the lost show, they would have made it.

Tapping her pen in irritation, she wondered what she could cut. Jiho wanted to perform to as many people as he could, to get his music out there for the world, and to hopefully help someone who needed it. Music was a release for him and he hoped it helped someone as it had helped him.

Thinking about it for a while, she got up to find the artist himself. He wasn't in the studio, something odd for him since he was in the middle of producing many different tasks. His snack room was empty as well.

A few doors down, Dongwook's light was on in his studio. So they were here? Good, she could talk to all of them and get their opinions. If Dongwook was here, that meant they were in one place.

Rowoon heard laughter as soon as she stepped out onto the patio. Jiho's voice could be heard through the open air. He was happy and carefree, something that hadn't happened in a long while. Getting his work done stressed him out a lot, so hearing him laugh meant he was at ease.

She rounded the corner to see four of them - Dean, Penomeco, Crush, and Zico - lounging around the pit. They talked, laughed and smoked as they undoubtedly caught up on the few things the others didn't know.

"Yah! Jung Dongwook!" she called. Slowly his head turned. They all did. "What have I told you about smoking?"

Dongwook grimaced. "You weren't supposed to be up here."

"When I can't find Jiho, I look in the snack room that happens to be next to yours.'

Jiho laughed heartily. "You left your light on again." He laughed even harder at the look he received. "What'd you need, Woonie?"

She crinkled her nose at her old nickname. "THe budget for the tour is very tight. We won't have enough to add a show in Colombia."

A frown graced his handsome face. "Is there anything we can do?"

"I've thought about that. We should do a pop up show. I can secure a location with a small venue. With as much security as you have going, it won't be an issue."

They were nodding along. "That's a good idea," Hyuk agreed. "Everyone gets to see Zico, but how will you get people to go."

She snapped her fingers as a thought came to mind. "We'll sell special tickets." She made no mention of Hyuk smoking but she filed it away for laer. "Only a certain amount of tickets for the pop up, like fifty or sixty. It will be very intimate, maybe even an acoustic set."

Jiho was liking it, nodding his head in agreement. "I like hw you think. Make it happen."

With new innovation, Rowoon turned and headed back to her office. She heard someone following behind her, but she was too focused on getting things right.

She plopped down in her chair and called the event coordinator in Colombia. It took some time for them to get one the dame page, but by the time they were finished, the pop up show was set up for a fraction of the cost of the bigger venue. She just hoped Jiho would love it and be happy.

She swiveled around and looked at Hyuk. He was looking around her office, taking in everything his eyes landed on. She watched him, curiosity piquing her interest.
