Dara~~ Throw away the
chains
******************************
“How have you been?” YG asked me.
“Better,” was my brief reply. We are in his office and it’s
the first time after seven months that I’ve set foot in his building. I’ve only
been back in Seoul for two days.
He nodded and smiled. “Blonde hair suits you.”
In a moment of madness during my soul searching trip, I made
an abrupt decision to have my hair bleached and dyed blonde. I cried after
seeing my hair and regretted the decision because it came off looking like
straw at first but thanks to my equally crazy companion, we found a more decent
salon after a few days.
“Thank you” I answered.
“Dara …” YG made a steeple of his fingers, resting his elbows
on his desk and sighed. “You know …” he then looked at the envelope in front of
him. “You know I’m a man of few words and I feel like I ought to apologize to
you for what happened. You know that all of you are equally important to me,
right? All of us are in one family and the thing that happened … was very
unfortunate …”
I can sense his struggle and he sighed once again. “I am not
going to pick any sides here because you are all my children but know that I
was really displeased with the behavior of those two. I already talked to both
of them and as much as I disapprove, I can’t control what they feel and …”
“It’s fine” I interrupted. “It’s alright, sajangnim. I just
want to move on. So please, accept my resignation letter.”
“Do you think that leaving your job is considered as moving
on? I don’t think so. You have a great potential and one of the best stylist this
company has. Don’t throw away your career just like that. You’ve worked hard
for it.”
“I just don’t think it’s a healthy environment for me … or
for all of us to be in the same company.” I reasoned.
“Dara,” he said in his nasal voice. “I will not accept this.
If you need more time, take another month of Sabbatical. The doors of YG will
always be welcome for you.”
“But sajangnim …”
This time, he interrupted me. “No. You are also my daughter
and I won’t let you leave until I know that you have fully moved on. You made
us all worry when you suddenly disappeared. I think I’ve aged 10 years between
the three of you so please,” he looked me in the eyes, “please stay. I’ll let
you go once I’m sure that you can stand on your own two feet. Until then, I’ll
give you assignments that won’t require you running into them.”
YG is a stubborn man. I feel like I can’t win against him.
And honestly, I owe him a lot. He took me in fresh from high school and let me
learn the ropes even with no prior experience. I sighed.
I was about to declare that he won when the door to his
office opened and in came YG’s top actor, Choi Seunghyun, which funnily enough,
is also sometimes called TOP.
“Sorry, I’m late” he said in his deep voice.
“Oh!” he exclaimed, noticing me then turned to YG. “I didn’t
know you’re still in a meeting.”
“No, it’s fine.” YG motioned for him to sit on the other
chair across mine. TOP gave me a brief nod as he sat down and I nodded back in
acknowledgement.
“So, we just finalized the contract for the new movie.” YG
said. “Congratulations!”
“Ah, neh. Komapsumnida” he bowed, then crossed his right leg
over the left one and leaned back on his chair.
“You have a photo shoot next week, right?”
“Neh.”
“You do know it’s going to be in a remote island, right?’
Seunghyun nodded.
I felt like it’s time for me to make my exit and I was half
way standing up when YG directed his attention at me.
“Ah, you know each other, right?”
Choi and I nodded.
“Good!” YG said pleased, rubbing his hands together. “You’ll
be working together from now on.”
My eyes went round. Wait,
what happened to the Sabbatical? “B-but … I can’t – I don’t want to…”
“Your manager will go on his honeymoon for a month, right?”
he turned to TOP. “Sandara here will be assigned as your manager and stylist
until he returns.”
My eyebrows rose to the roof. “Ah, sajangnim…” I raised my
right hand because he was ignoring me. “I didn’t say that I agreed to come back
…”
YG stood up and went around his desk and stood behind my
chair and put both his hands on my shoulders pulling me up. I complied. He then
put one arm around me and following him, we walked towards TOP and he put his
other arm around his shoulder. “Now, you kids work this out between you, okay?”
He was now pushing us out of his office door. “I have another meeting to attend
to.” He declared. “I’ll just ask TOP’s manager to send you the details of
what’s planned for this month. This is good for you, Dara. Trust me.” He closed
his door in front of our faces with a smile.
Choi Seunghyun stood looking at me silently. I was staring at
him right back.
“What did just happen?” I voiced out the thought in my head.
It was supposed to be a rhetorical question but he must have
thought I was speaking to him and he just shrugged his shoulders and walked
away.
What the hell?!
I was supposed to resign. Why am I now assigned to a person
who is known to be a diva? Or divo? Is that the term for male divas?
“F*ck!” I exclaimed to the now empty hall.

You

You'll
