94: The Rise

"Good morning sleepyhead", Ten greeted as soon as Jae-seong woke up. "You're heading out already", she asked as soon as she saw Ten all dressed up already. Ten just nodded his head in response with a smile. "Well alright, drive safe", she said with eyes still visibly sleepy. "Oh by the way, your phone's been buzzing. Seems to be your manager", Ten said before heading out which intrigued Jae-seong to what her manager has to say that's so important other than reminding her of her schedule today. She took a minute to compose herself as she sat herself and stretched her body a bit. She then decided to call her manager when she was sure she is able to talk properly. "Good morning", she greeted as soon as her manager picked up. "Good morning to you too Jessica. I need you in the company as soon as right now", her manager said in one breath making Jae-seong panic. "Did my schedule change", Jae-seong asked in panic. "Well sort of but not really. We just need to discuss something with you and it's urgent", her manager answered which didn't really help Jae-seong in any way. "May I know what it is about", Jae-seong continued to ask. "Just get here immediately. I already told Mr. Lee taeyong to have you here as soon as possible", her manager said before ending the call.
"What is it even about", Jae-seong muttered to herself. She then decided to do as said and hurriedly prepared herself to head out. As soon as she stepped out the door, she saw Taeyong fast approaching the door as well. "Great! Let's go! I'll drive you there", Taeyong said slightly panting as he started dragging Jae-seong down the halls towards the elevator. She remained silent until they reached his car. Once she got in she immediately looked at Taeyong. "Is it that serious", Jae-seong asked as soon as Taeyong started driving. "It is and I can't be the one to inform you of it", Taeyong answered still catching his breath. "Okay", was all that Jae-seong said and leaned her back on her seat. She yet again stayed silent during the fast car ride to the company. As soon as they reached the company, she headed out the car without a single word. "Didn't even told me good bye", Taeyong said as he watched Jae-seong hurriedly enter the building. 
"Oh great you're here', her manager said as soon as she saw Jae-seong running in the building. "Is it really that serious", Jae-seong asked as soon as her manager caught up to her. "Being completely transparent to you, yes it is that serious darling", her manager said as they hopped in the elevator. "What is it about", Jae-seong tried to ask. "It's about you", her manager quickly said which shocked Jae-seong at the same time bothered her. "Did I do something wrong", Jae-seong asked visibly terrified. "I'll let them tell you that", her manager said and as if on cue, the elevator doors suddenly opened revealing Ten and Lucas together with her producer. Mark and Jaehyun were present as well. "What's going on", Jae-seong asked and just before anyone could answer, Taeyong came out the elevator holding a box of cupcakes in one hand and a bouquet in the other. "Congratulations", they all cheered as if on cue with the brightest smiles. "I'm confused", Jae-seong said as she accepted the bouquet from Taeyong. "Your song peaked number one on the charts this morning", their manager said with a smile. "What? No way! Really", Jae-seong exclaimed as she jumped in excitement.
"Congratulations Jessica", her brother greeted her enveloping her in a hug. "Thanks Jayjay", Jae-seong said with a smile. "You all could have just told me, made me nervous for nothing", Jae-seong said as soon as she separated from Jaehyun's hug. "Where's the fun in that", Lucas asked making them laugh. "You got me this time", Jae-seong said with a mischievous smile. "Yeah yeah now let's go ahead eat that cupcake", Jaehyun said placing an arm on Jae-seong's shoulders as he dragged her along towards the recording studio nearby. "We'll seriously eat this at a recording studio", Jae-seong asked face palming herself. "It's the only place they allowed us to celebrate okay", Jaehyun responded. As they all gathered at the recording studio and started passing out cupcakes, they heard a knock on the door. "I'll go get it", Mark exclaimed immediately standing up and opening the door. "Delivery for Ms. Jessica Jung", the staff said as soon as the door opened. "Oh shit wait", Jae-seong said immediately standing up and walking towards the door. "Thank you so much", Jae-seong said after receiving the the package and closing the door.
"What's that", Jaehyun asked as Jae-seong made her way back to her seat. "A new brand I'm gonna collaborate with", Jae-seong said excitingly opening the package. As soon as she fully opened the box her then excited expression turned sour automatically. Jaehyun took notice and decided to peek into the box. "Ice cream? You're collaborating with an ice cream brand", Jaehyun now asked making everyone's attention turn towards the two.
