JY Park was having a meeting today with someone.
"Even though you're my friends, I can't just give you that, you know? Even if you pay me. Neo is only interested in my company because of his girlfriend, Yeji," JYP stated.
"Like I said, I was asking for a favor. Do this one thing for me; you already earn so much from the contract he signed with you," the manager replied.
"And that's exactly why I need to protect it. Forget it; I'll give you a solution. Whether you agree or not is entirely your choice," JYP said.
"Neo seems fond of beautiful girls. Why not set up a blind date with Kim Yoo-jung? Currently, Neo's girlfriend is Yeji. Previously, he was spotted with Bae Suzy, and last night, So-Hee uploaded a photo of them kissing each other. That's three already. Kim Yoo-jung is not in a relationship, right?" JYP continued.
"Two of the most beautiful actresses are already in his hands. If Kim Yoo-jung falls for him too, it will be a disaster for Korean entertainment. The three of them would share the same boyfriend," the manager said.
"That's your only chance to make a connection with Neo anyway. You decide; I can ask him to go on a blind date for you," JYP said, as he was also helping Neo with this.
"Fine, fine. I will talk to Kim Yoo-jung about this," the manager replied.
"Director! Director!"
JYP stood up and rushed to the door upon hearing the panicked voice. He quickly opened the door and saw one of the TWICE members.
"What happened, Jeongyeon? Why are you rushing?" he asked, trying to calm her down.
"Director, sir, Neo is at the entrance, and the guards won't let him in," she said, catching her breath.
"What?! Let's go. Who's with him now?" JYP asked.
"The other members. Jihyo sent me to inform you," she replied as they walked to the elevator. The manager also joined them and followed JYP.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance, they saw Neo laughing with the girls. JYP walked faster to approach him.
"Sir, I didn't know you would arrive today. If I had known, this incident wouldn't have happened," he bowed his head.
At this point, the security guard looked terrified, realizing that this handsome man was a big shot. Regret filled him.
"Don't worry. However, you need to change your guard, Mr. JYP. It's not good if you employ a racist and arrogant person,"
"Yes, sir. You, wait for me to finish this meeting. We will talk later," JYP said angrily, glaring at the guard.
"Now that this is settled, let's get down to business. Do you have any trolleys here?"
"For what, sir? We don't have that here," JYP replied.
"Hayst. Okay, let's go to your office; it's kinda hot here. You girls can come along too," I walked over to a box and picked it up.
"Ah! I'll carry that, sir. No need for you to trouble yourself," JYP said.
"If you can carry one box, I'll give you 2 billion," I challenged him, setting the box down.
"What? No need for that, sir," JYP replied, walking near the box and trying to lift it. Despite his best efforts, he couldn't even move it. He looked to the manager for help. Together, they both lifted one end of the box, but nothing changed.
"How? I thought it wasn't heavy based on how you lifted it, sir. But what's inside that even with two people we can't lift it?" JYP asked, astonished.
The girls looked equally shocked. Just how strong is Neo? The box measured 1 meter in height, 1 meter in length, and 1 meter in width, yet he lifted it effortlessly.
"Jewelry. Gray's Vault is already open in LA and making waves. I asked them to send two boxes of jewelry for the girls. Since no one else can carry them, I'll handle it. Let me drop one off first. What floor is your office on?"
"Ah, okay, sir. It's at the top," JYP replied.
I walked to the elevator, carrying both boxes by myself. Once the elevator doors closed, JYP turned to the girls.
"How strong is he? Two boxes without breaking a sweat. Just imagine getting punched by him; you'd be done for! You're lucky," JYP said, glancing at the guard who was listening.
"Let's use the other elevator. Remind me to buy a trolley from now on. It would be shameful for us," JYP led the group away. When they arrived at the top, Neo wasn't there yet, and they wondered if he had pressed the wrong button.
"Maybe he's already in the office, sir?" Jihyo suggested.
"You're right. Let's take a look," JYP said, and the group moved towards the office, where they found Neo sitting on the couch.
"Sir, what should we do with the boxes?" JYP asked, allowing the girls to sit on the couch as well. Jihyo seized the moment to sit next to Neo, and Momo joined her.
"Hehe, you two sure moved fast, huh?" Sana teased, looking at Momo and Jihyo.
"Of course! You have to grab the opportunity when it presents itself," Jihyo smiled back at Sana.
"I like strong men. Did you see Sir Neo's muscles when he lifted the box?" Momo said, reaching out to feel Neo's arm.
"How bold, Momo," Tzuyu commented.
"Okay, back to the topic, Sir Neo. What should we do about the jewelry?" JYP asked again.
"You can just call me Neo. Open the box; the lock password is 0000," I instructed JYP.
He approached the box and lifted the lid. Inside were hundreds of smaller boxes overflowing from the larger one.
"You guys can pick anything you want. That's the gift from Gray's Vault for you. Necklaces, earrings, bracelets—there are plenty to choose from. Some are sets; others are not. You should wear them at every public appearance, okay?"
They rushed to the boxes, each selecting whatever caught their eyes. After picking out 12 pieces of jewelry, they finally stopped. Each of them had chosen 12 items, leaving just four boxes inside the big box for me.
"Wow, so beautiful! Look, it's a blue diamond—the rarest kind!" one exclaimed.
"Check out these earrings; they suit me perfectly with their dragon design!" another said.
"Neo, can you put this necklace on me?" Jihyo asked, sitting beside me again.
I held the necklace, which had a black diamond, and carefully placed it around her neck. As I caught a whiff of her scent, I whispered, "You smell amazing, Jihyo." She simply nodded and smile.
"It looks beautiful on you," I said, admiring her.
"Thank you, Neo, for this gift," Jihyo replied.
"What about the other box? Is it for ITZY, Neo?" JYP inquired.
"Yes. Are they done promoting the medicine?" I asked.
"They're finished. Tomorrow the J&J will announce the medicine along with them as ambassadors," JYP answered.
"And this? How long will it take for them to finish promoting Gray's Vault?" I queried further.
"The photoshoot is easy; it will take only two days. The video promotion will take about a week," JYP explained.
"Since tomorrow is the announcement of the medicine, I want you to finish the photoshoot with ITZY afterward. Make it quick, okay? I want to strike while the iron is hot. Gray's Vault in LA is gathering a lot of attention right now. Also, here's a VIP card for Gray's Vault. Include it in your promotion." I handed him the card
"Give me two weeks maximum to finish, Neo, but I can manage the photoshoots in four days for both groups," JYP confirmed.
"That sounds good. Since I'm done here, I will head out now." I was about to stand up but was interrupted by JYP.
