Chapter 2 - Demon King

"It's already 8?" Ji Hoon yawned, he turned the alarm off before stepping out of his bed to get ready for the day.

"Sir here's your schedule for today" his secretary, Sung Ho, hands him the tablet. "Anything else?" Sung Ho shook his head "No, sir" They stared at each other, "Then get out" Ji Hoon hissed. "Yes, sir!" Sung Ho ran out of the walk-in closet.

He leaned against the door, 'That's the demon king for you' he sighed, getting out of the penthouse to wait in the car, downstair.

"It's time to see the Music Station winners for the third week of November" the male mc stood next to his co-female mc. "Between KAY and KUU, who will win first place, please show us the scores" the female mc continued.

Jimin and Cho Hee stood nervously behind the stage, looking at the scoreboard, "KUU KUU" Cho Hee mumbled, "Number isn't everything" Jimin whispered back. "You're shaking more than I am" Cho Hee rolled her eyes.

"Congratulation KUU for winning first place!" the male mc exclaimed, the female mc handed her the trophy and bouquet of flowers. "Woah!" Cho Hee and Jimin screamed, making everyone around them laugh, some artists that were on the stage also laughed.

KUU took the mic from the male mc and made her speech. "I want to say thank you to my manager, Cho Hee Unnie, my stylist Jimin unnie, my ceo, and the staffs who work hard for me. My fans, thank you for supporting me and loving me, I wouldn't be here without you and also KAY sunbaenim for taking care of me" she bowed to KAY and he gave her a nod.

"She mentioned me first" Cho Hee teased. "Shut up, does that really matter now?" Jimin cried. "Why are you crying?" Cho Hee worried. "Sh-she thanks me, did you hear that?, Dal Wonnie thanks me, our Dal Won" Jimin whimpered. "Our Dal Won isn't as bad as you all make her seem to be" Cho Hee jokingly slapped her shoulder.

As KUU debut song, 'Moonlight' start playing in the background, the fans cheered their heart out, "You work hard" she greeted everyone as the artists begin leaving the stage, she bowed and greeted everyone warmly and start singing. Her dancers went up onto the stage to dance and celebrate with her. KUU hit every note, she was stable, once again proving her vocal by singing live without the playback.

"Thank you" she bowed to each and everyone that congratulate her. Cho Hee covered her with the padding jacket as she stepped off the stage, walking back to their waiting room. "Dal Won ah, don't forget to post a video on your social media" Cho Hee lead her through the crowd. "Unnie, I didn't think I would be this happy" Dal Won murmured. Cho Hee whipped her head to look at her and smile "Me neither" she replied softly.

"You said the song would do well" a woman voice could be heard across the room. "I didn't even get nominated, I'm EVELYN, I should do well"

"Who's that?" Dal Won questioned, changing into a new outfit for her next schedule, "That's Evelyn, she debuted 5 years ago, everyone in the industry knows how bad her temper is" Cho Hee folded her arm. Dal Won turned to face her "Worse than me?" Cho Hee Shook her head "Trust me you're not that bad, you're just a little bit crazy"

"I agree to that" Jimin grabbed her make up bag, ready to leave. "Damn it! we were supposed to record a video for your social media, how can we do that now if she's that loud" Cho hee hissed. "Let's record it now" Dal Won smiled. Cho Hee and Jimin looked at each other. "Don't worry, nothing's gonna happen" she grinned. Cho Hee grabbed the phone and turn it on to record Dal Won "Okay, I guess"

"Aishh, why is the traffic so bad?" Ji Hoon gritted his teeth. "Music Station is airing today, fans are probably here to cheer on their idols" Sung Ho replied. "And if you know that, then why bother taking this route?" Ji Hoon queried. "Then CEO should move the company building to somewhere else then, Music Station and your company are right next to each other" Sung Ho snapped back. "Oh, so in a big city like Seoul, this is the only way for me to get to work? I'm I too nice to you nowadays, that you start talking back to me?" Sung Ho saw Ji Hoon glare in the rearview mirror, he started sitting up straight "No sir, I must be crazy sir"

"Oh, isn't that right there KUU?" Sung Hoon gasped, "What?" Ji Hoon paused, "Is this what you should be caring about?" "Ye- No, sir" he rolled his eyes 'What a demon, you are boss' he thought to himself.

"KUU! Look at me" a fan shouted. "Can I have your autograph?" another fan yelled. KUU greeted her fans, posed for them, signed their albums and posters mouthing "thank you" to each and everyone of them. Just as she stepped onto her van, she turned around to face them "Thank you for coming" and her guard closed the door, her manager driving her to her next schedule.

"I'm not sure if I can accept their loves" she murmured. "Why? What do you mean?" Cho Hee questioned. "What if I am not the person they love?" she stared out the window. "Everyone here has a persona, that's how you survive here, don't worry too much" Cho Hee continued to drive. 'What if they leave me like the way he did?' she thought to herself, banging her head against the glass. "Yaah What are you doing?!" Cho Hee panicked. Dal won turned to her and beamed "You're right!"
