Once In A Life Time
~Chapter 5~
“ He can’t think I’m wearing that”
“What? I think it's cute. He knows you well; red is definitely your color.”
“I personally think she would look good in anything.”
“Of course you would.” So-eun whispers under her breath.
Yesterday was filled with nothing but greatness. After my victory beer in the park I met up with So-eun and Min-oh for lunch to fill them in on the big news, not that they had any doubts in my abilities. They too had invitations to the black tie gala. Z met up with us later at a pool house near my air bnb. So-eun to say the least was not a fan of Z from jump. The first moment she met her, her face immediately went cold. Z, who I've come to learn a lot about in the 20 hours I’ve known her, is childhood best friends with Jay’s little sister and a recent college graduate. She's a psychology major per her parents request with a passion for photography. She says she's working for Jay till she can make a name for herself and travel the world snapping pictures.
We were currently sitting in my living room studying the dress Jay picked out for me. It was beautiful, gorgeous but I'd be lying if I said I didn’t think Jay was tryna show me off.
“You're sure this is the dress, you didn’t pick up the wrong one?” I ask Z.
“Honey, when you walk into a boutique that houses dresses like this, and say you're here to pick up for Jay Park, you don’t get it wrong.”
“It pains me to say, but I agree”
“Well thank you, to the both of you, and Jay I guess. I’ve got the contract over here, let me get it to you before you go.” I grab the contract and walk her to the door.
“We’ll send a car to pick you up around 7. Will there be others traveling with you?” She trails off peeking behind me.
“Haha yeah So-eun and Min-oh will both be with me. You should ride with us.”
“I don’t think So-eun would like that very much.”
“Don’t worry about her, she's just grumpy and old.”
“Ok, well I’ll see you tonight.”
Shutting the door I walk back in to see So-eun scanning a magazine.
“Really So-eun?”
“What?” She doesn’t even look up from the magazine. I roll my eyes sitting next to her on the couch
“You know what. Why are you so mean to Z?”
“I don’t know what you're talking about. I have nothing against her”
“Ok sure and what about last night.”
“What about it?”
“I’m serious So-eun, you wouldn’t let her get a word in, in any conversation we had. Not to mention your intense pool energy whenever she went up to pot a hole.”
“Ok, so I get a little competitive.”
“What about just now ‘Of course you would’, it ‘pains’ you to agree with her.”
“I was joking.” Deflection from the real problem.
“Don’t you think that after all these years I would know when you're joking or when you're being hostile?”
“Stop gilling me, I don’t have a problem with Z.”
“Mmhmm well she’s coming with us to the event tonight.” She shoots me a tight smile obviously fake.
“Great. Enough about me and your suspicions. How are you feeling, really?”
“Honestly, it all feels so surreal. None of it has sunk in yet. I mean I just got off a plane 5 days ago, I'm out here for a completely different project I just-- I just don’t wanna fuck it up you know.
“You’ve always done your best when you follow your heart. Don’t let the fear of chasing your dreams stop them from coming true because of self doubt. You are one of the most talented people I know; next to Min-oh, and if anyone deserves this opportunity it you 100%”
“Thanks So-eun.”
I pull her in for a hug. as we pull away she notices a small piece of paper on the coffee table.
“What's this?” she asked as she picked it up.
“Oh it's the business card of the guy I met when I first got in. Mr. Yo? I think his name was.”
“Yu? Christan Yu? Christan Yu was the fuckboy who splashed you with his car?”
“Well I don’t think he meant to.”
“Did you call him yet?”
“No, why would I?”
“He gave you his card. He obviously wants you to.”
“ No he doesn't, his driver gave it to me.”
“ He gave it to you, told his driver to give it to you, it's the same thing. No?”
“Absolutely not, and it's been damn near a week, I’m pretty sure he doesn’t remember who I am or the situation that happened.”
“How could he not? Imma call the number.”
“What? So-eun no stop.”
She quickly punches in the number, throwing the phone at me after she presses speaker. It rings 3 times before a deep voice answers.”
“Hello?”
I just sit there staring at the phone.
Say something. So-eun mouths.
Like what.
I don’t know anything.
“안요?” He asked again but in Korean.
I hesitate, rushing out a quick “Sorry wrong number.” then hanging up.
“Smooth babe smooth.”
“Shut up. No one told you to do that.”
“I was just tryna help you out. You could get some good Korean Dick while you're in town. And knowing your sex drive we will need to find someone soon.”
“ I have traveled in preparation thank you very much. And how would you know if his dick game was good?” She looks at me surprised then guilty. “Oh my god. Did you sleep with Christian?”
“Let's get ready for the Gala. We only have six hours till the event starts and if you're still the same girl from college it's gonna take you forever to get ready. What time are we supposed to be leaving?”
“Oh this is great. Does Min-oh know?” She’s stuck in it and she knows it.
“No, it was before we started dating.”
“Oh this is great.” I get up heading to the bathroom.
“Where are you going?”
“ To shower.”
“You won't tell Min-oh right?” I just continue walking to the bathroom whistling a tune “Right B?!?!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This dress was tight as fuck, my feet hurt, everyone who's anyone in South Korea is here, and oh, I’m the only one in a bright red dress. The fact that I don’t like big events like this isn’t helping my mood. I need to smoke ASAP. Lucky for me I smuggled a blunt in my bra at the airport. I just have to find the right time to sneak out. I scan the room from the corner I was standing in near the stage. A perfect view of everyone in the event but still hidden in the shadows.
When we arrived Jay swooped me away from So-eun, Min-oh, and Z. We spent almost an hour working the room. He introduced me to some of the label's top artists, producers, and stylists. Even some artists from H1GHER music. Don't get me wrong, it's been fun getting to know the people I'm gonna get to work with but this is all new experiences that I'm just gonna have to get used to.
"So here is where you're hiding" So-eun sneaks up next to me leaning on the wall.
"Ha, yeah I just need a break. So Many 'hellos' 'nice to meet you' and 'the pleasure is mine'. Did Min-oh talk to his guy?"
"Yeah we can pick up after the Gala."
"Ugh, ok I'm gonna head outside for some air."
"So you sneak away, leaving me to deal with Loopy and Nafla's drunk asses on my own. And you--" Min-oh turns to me, shaking his finger. " Why are you in a corner in the dark all alone?"
He was clearly tipsy, he gets a little clingy and bossy when he's under the influence.
" You guys were only talking to each other. What was I post to do, stand there like a deer in the headlights?"
"Yeah and I was just going to get some air, I'll leave you two to talk. Where is Z."
" With her people." "With the AOMG guys'' They both said at the same time. I shoot So-eun a look for her comment and start to walk off.
" Ok, cool. I'll be right back."
Heading off toward the exit, I clutch my bag housing my soon to be smoked blunt. I'm close. I can see the exit in the clear, bodies start dividing, allowing me to pass. I've got one hand on the door ready to open. At the same time I push, the door is swung open and I come stumbling out colliding with the feeling of soft velvet against a firm chest.
"Sorry I didn't know someone was on the other side." That voice.
I look up, stepping back. It's him, the guy from the airport, I mean Christian Yu, and he was looking good. Fashionably late but fashionable he was. He was wearing a slim fit crimson velvet blazer jacket with silk black slacks and crimson velvet loafers to match, his hair was styled back making his jaw line pop. I stood there just staring at him.
" Are you ok?" No realization is present in his voice. He doesn't remember me. I mean I was covered in street water, but this is the second time we've had a forced interaction and I'd be lying if I say it didn't hurt my ego a bit.
" Yeah, sorry I was in a bit of a rush. Thanks for breaking my fall tho’ I don't think this dress would have survived." He scans my body taking in the silhouette of my dress lingering a little longer than need be. "Excuse me."
I step to the left, walking past him and heading out the door. Yeah, that blunt will be nice right about now.

Once In A Life Time
~ Chapter 4~
“Shit! Shit, shit, shit. Fuck.” I jumped out of bed rolling over So-Eun and rush down the stairs. I can't believe I slept through my alarm; and on a day like this.
“ Woah! Jesus Min-ho, why are you laying in front of the stairs?”
“Mmmmm” he wines shooing me away. Ugh I don’t have time for this. Bussing it to the bathroom I wasted no time in discarding my clothes and stepping under the scalding hot water. “Finally” I release a deep breath.
I knew going out with So-eun and Min-ho to “Network” was a bad idea as soon as we got into the first club. They just know how to get to me; or I guess I should say they know what's best for me. I knew they could see me over thinking about my meeting with Jay Park, I mean I’m sure anyone could; so when they kept bugging me about the club, lets just say they didn't need to twist my arm too much to get me out. But today is my very important meeting with AOMG and I just can’t be late, I despise being late.
I’m definitely scared shitless, I’m not sure what deal Jay is going to offer me; I’m not even 100% sure if I'm gonna take it. It's just… the weight of everything finally sinking in. I just got to South Korea 5 Days ago. I'm supposed to be here to work with a completely different artist and... I can't help but think I'm in over my head and I should slow the breaks a bit. Taking another deep breath I stretch my arms in front of the marble wall letting the water soothe my aching muscles. ‘You got this B. You’ve got no reason to panic or over think. You wouldn't be in this position if you didn’t deserve it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“안녕하세요, I have a meeting with Jay Park I mean Mr. Park J-”
“Bianca Queen?”
“Hi, uh, yes, yes uh that's me.”
Jesus B relax.
“Great, he’s expecting you. You can take the elevator to the 6th floor, his office is the last one all the way down. You can’t miss it.”
“Ok Thank you!”
Here we go. I walk up to the elevator pressing the up button. At the same time the doors come flying open and none other than Loco comes stepping out. I’m not gonna lie out of everyone who is signed to AOMG Loco is my all time favorite; I could just see us being the closest.
He stops in the doorway of the elevator staring at me. I smile watching his brows raise in confusion and curiosity.
“Excuse me.”
I don’t think he heard me because he didn’t move till the elevator doors started to push closed, slightly squashing him in between. He steps back inside the elevator letting me walk in. As soon as I’m inside he maneuvers exiting through the doors all the while not taking his eyes off me. I smile again, press 6 on the keypad and shoot him a slight wave before the doors close; he quickly shoots me one back. Yeah I can see us being great friends.
The walk to Jay’s office felt like an eternity, my legs just felt so heavy. When I finally made it down the hall I came face to face with yet another secretary.
“Hi, I'm here to see Jay Park.”
“Shut up! Shut up!” I stood there stunned. “Bianca Queen? The Bianca Queen in the flesh. I love your work when Jay first told me he was scouting you for AOMG I was like ‘umm hell yeah! You should; she is like amazing’ I’m Z by the way short for Zen’na.” Z is a cute Korean tattooed babe, her long blue hair was pulled up in a messy bun. She had a tattoo of a star on her left cheek bone. She has a unique personality. I sense nothing but positive vibes and energy from her, it's refreshing. Plus she’s a fan of my work.
“Nice to meet you Z. Thank you so much for enjoying my work. I never thought they would find their way to South Korea, but I really appreciate your support. We should grab a drink sometime. If your free”
“My shift ends at 6.”
“6 sounds great. Do you have a pen?”She pulls a red pen from her hair slamming it down in front of a mini notepad on her desk. I take the pen jotting down my number. “Shoot me a call when you're off.”
She takes the pad back, staring at the paper in awe.
“I thought you might be held up out here.” And there he is, the man I'm here to see, Jay Park. He stood in some loose jeans, a graphic-T and Jordans he was even rocking a Jordan snapback. lol can you say Seattle Nigga, the culture has definitely shown influence on his style. It works for him though; it's natural, not forced. “Z's always watching your videos when she should be working.”
“Ok you ain't really gotta be embarrassing me like that.”
“Yeah Alright. Did you check the messages like I asked you to.”
“Yes I checked the messages like you asked me to. I emailed them to your computer.”
“Thanks Z. Bianca Come on in.”
“Bye Z. Give me a call.”
“Have a seat Bianca.”
His office was a soft green and black. Huge floor to ceiling windows that look out over Seoul. I dodge the chair he gestured to and stepped a little closer, gazing out the window.
Beautiful.
“ You like the view?” Jay asked walking next to me.
“It’s amazing. Why the 6th floor, why not the top? I mean for a CEO.”
“Come on, you don’t know. I would think a fellow Tauren would know the answer to a question like that.”
“You checked up on me?”
“First rule of business. Always know who you're getting into bed with. Metaphorically speaking of course.” He shoots me a smug smile walking to his desk. “Not that you're not a beautiful woman cause.” he paused, looking me up and down with a hint of lust. “ I brought you here for your talent. Come over here, have a seat.”
Heh, he’s way more charming in person. Ok B, eyes up chin up.
When I finally take my seat he’s just looking at me, then to a file on his desk then back at me.
“Bianca I’m gonna be up front with you, I want to sign you to AOMG. How does a 3 year Contract sound?”
“What?”
“You would be the first Choreographer/Artist Director to be signed to our company and after doing all my research I just know you would be a great fit for AOMG. Not to mention the Artist we low-key already got lined up who really wanna work with you.”
Signed to a record label, this record label.This all feels so surreal. I mean all of it. Being in Korea, being at AOMG, Being in Jay Parks office.
“You're hesitant. I can see it in your face. Why?”
“Don’t get me wrong, I’m truly honored Jay, I would want nothing more than to work with AOMG I- I just, have a life a company back home as well I-”
“I don’t want you to leave your company or your life. If anything, think of it as an enhancement for both. We would definitely need you stationed here for the first year but after that you can free flow.” Silence. I couldn’t speak “ Ok how about this? You're in Seoul for the next 6 months working with Hwasa correct. Let's do a trial contact; we have our 8 year anniversary in August, and I would like to hire you to do the show’s Artistic direction. After the show we can check in and if you're done with Seoul, that's that; at least you know.”
He even knows I’m working with Hwasa, he really did his research. Just then my mothers voice popped into my head. “Live your life for you Bianca. And live it to the fullest.”
“Deal.”
“Yes! Alright cool dope. I’ll have Z send over a contract by the end of the day.”
“That quick?”
“I was hoping you’d say yes.”
“You knew I’d be hesitant?”
“No, I just knew you’d say yes.”
“Yeah sure. I’ll be looking out for the contract.” Getting up Jay walks me to his front door placing his hand on the handle.
“Oh there’s a black tie event on Saturday. I want you to come out and get a feel for the scene. I’m also gonna announce our collaboration.”
Tomorrow?
“Black tie?”
“I’ll send something over.” he reaches out his hand towards me and I shake it with excitement.
“Ok.” he steps back, opening the door, sending Loco, Ugly Duck and Won Jae falling into the room collapsing on the floor.
“Nice guys. Bianca-”
““B, you can call me B.”
“Alright B, I'll see you Saturday. I’ll be in touch”
“I look forward to it.” I step over their legs walking out the door. “See ya later Z.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’m sitting in Hangang Park with a beer, I stare out over the lake taking in the calm.
‘It all starts here.’ I think.
The next chapter of my life.
Let's live it to the fullest B.

I had an amazing time this morning on #amnw with Helen Raptis. Bringing my own Fall Capsule Wardrobe on set to share with the television audience was slightly (ok, a bit more than slightly) nerve-racking, but I hope it helped demonstrate how possible this concept of looking and feeling our best can be.
