The Devil Producer's
I'm your Boss

Jihyo stretched all her muscles and joints after successfully copying 50 lyric sheets of the song into her computer draft. He looked at the man who was busy pressing the piano keys. Repeating a few notes and arranging them into a beautiful melody.

Jihyo yawned wide. His eyes were focused on the wall clock that was stuck in the corner of the room. The clock shows at 23:45 p.m. He snorted angrily towards the man who was sitting behind him.

"PD-nim is almost 12 p.m. Can you continue to work on it tomorrow?"

The man looked at the hanging wall clock. He's sighing. Actually he also wanted to end this, but the demands of the deadline that pursued could not give time leeway. He had to compose music for the group's latest comeback plan. To get the best song. He had to be willing to cut his sleeping hours just to compose music in order to get a song that fit his expedition.

"Wait a minute. I'm still putting together some rudimentary notes."

Jihyo clucked bitterly. Not without reason because he has memorized enough if his boss says soon it is certainly not a span of 10 or 15 minutes. It is certain that Jihyo's eyes will be awake for the next two or three hours. Which means this girl has to endure the sleepiness even longer.

"What isn't perfect? You were busy repeating the melody you made two hours ago. Even I've memorized it because you're repeating it too much."

"You set me up? So who works as a producer here? Me or you're Park Jihyo?" A sentence was thrown from the spicy mouth of the man in front of him. If it's like that, there's no choice but to shut up.

"Of course Min Yoon PD-nim." Jihyo replied with a slightly exaggerated tone.

"Rather than you busy taking care of my business you better continue typing those lyrics. Have you done everything?"

"Of course I'll work on it. I'm fast in terms of typing. I use 10 fingers at the same time. Not like you. Typing with two fingers." Reply Jihyo does not want to lose. He was really already very upset with this boss of his.

A rude whisper was heard from Yoongi's mouth. He turned his chair 180 degrees facing the chatty girl. "Stop your useless babble that stupid girl. Do you remember who I am? I'm your boss and you're my subordinate. So learn to keep your boundaries." Yoongi's spicy mouth started to work. He voices his cold head.

"Yes, Yes, you're right PD-nim. I should have been able to put myself. What is the meaning of myself as a means of debt relief." Sarkasnya then continued her typing activity without seeing the cruel gaze of Yoongi who had been intimidating her.

"Blame yourself for being too careless to get you stuck here, Jihyo. So don't ever leave all your mistakes to someone else. It's all happening on your own basis."

Jihyo fell silent. Directly agree with the words of Yoon-gi. It was himself who made this mistake. His memory was bright two years ago. Had he not done anything reckless, Jihyo was sure he would not be here at the moment.

Jihyo is forced to work here to pay off the statue debt she solved. Miris is only because a small statue of her must be confined in this hell. Maybe for some people, being able to work under MIN Entertainment is a fortune. But not with Jihyo.

This girl must withstand the inner pressure every day facing the entire staff who are like demons. Not to mention Min Yoongi who always troubled him. Almost every day Jihyo had to accompany Yoon to compose music at night. It makes his sleep clock disturbed. In the morning, the girl had to return to work as a staff like everyone else. If he's good. No matter what time the man wants to get up, no one will forbid him. He's the boss here.

Blame his bat-like habits. Sleep during the day and work at night. This habit was not something bad if it did not trouble Jihyo. Because of the strange habits of his boss, Jihyo was dragged into the night world. If it wasn't for the debts that were piling up maybe Jihyo would have chosen to escape from here. Working in a store is much better than here.

Regardless of what Yoongi said earlier, Jihyo continued her work. Perhaps silence would be better than continuing to argue with this man.

...*****...

Almost two hours passed but the producer was still struggling with the musical instrument in front of him. The girl has completed her task. He glanced back at Yoon-gi.

"PD-nim is already at 2 am. Do you still want to compose your music in the middle of the night like this? Can't you do it tomorrow?" Jihyo opened and closed her eyes. The girl was already very sleepy. But what power he can't fall asleep. Jihyo can only sleep if Yoon-gi is done with her work.

"Why did you set me up. Who's the real boss here? Me or you?" Yoongi's voice sounded slow but intimidated.

"Of course, your Excellency Min PD-nim. What am I the only lowly worker here." Jihyo replied in a mocking tone. He's really upset. Jihyo covered her mouth several times withstanding the drowsiness that kept attacking.

"You're sleepy? Wanna sleep?" Jihyo gasped at Yoongi's question but as quickly as lightning the girl nodded her head. Hopefully this time the boss can give some leeway. Because he's really sleepy.

"Then go to sleep."

"really? I can sleep earlier than you?" Greet Jihyo cheerfully. Tumben today his boss is very good.

"Yes, but sleep with your eyes open." Hearing that the smile on Jihyo's face disappeared. His eyes stared intently at Yoon-gi who was still busy working. Jihyo retracted her remark that said her boss was kind. Min Yoon will never turn into a good person.

Damnit..

He is a heartless human being. What does it mean to sleep with your eyes open? It was the same as telling him to stay awake. You fucking Min Yoon, outrageous, cruel. It was only fitting that he got the nickname Devil Prince from everyone. He is cruel as a demon. His words were as spicy as Samyang Ramyeon. You know Mie with the Samyang production brand. Noodles are famous for their spicy taste. That's what it's like to describe Min Yoon's figure.

"Stop looking at me like that. I know you're swearing in your heart."

Shit!!! Look, that jerk can even read what his interlocutor has in mind. The huft! Jihyo is sorry to have liked her before. He thought that Yoon-gi was the Prince Charming he had been dreaming of. But it turns out he's nothing more than a devil prince or a bastard prince. Ah.. Even the nickname was still better than this behavior.

Jihyo sighed. Trying to gather all his patience.

"I've never cursed you PD-nim."

"Then, if that's not what you think? Regret ever being my girlfriend?"

Gee.. He could read his mind again...

"I didn't think of any PD-nim. But for your last question, you were right. I'm sorry I ever dated you. I should have known that you would never like a Nerd girl like me. I shouldn't have been a fool to accept you being my lover. I should have known that you were just playing me. You know PD-nim, you're the most annoying person I've ever known." Jihyo's drowsiness disappeared just because she was serving Yoon's words.

"You should really regret Jihyo. But you should know, I don't regret ever going out with you. At least my High School days are more colorful for ever making that ridiculous bet." Yoon-gi smiles as she imagines herself accepting a bet from her friend to date Ji-hyo for three months. After that he had to decide on Jihyo in front of everyone. Hmh! Funny memories he thinks

"You're right PD-nim, because you too I've had to endure shame all my life. And because of you too I had to change schools to avoid ridiculing my friends. Congratulations, Mr. Min. You've ruined the life of a Nerd girl like me."

Hearing that, Yoon-gi fell silent. He didn't say a word. Silence enveloped both. There was only the hum of CPU noise and beeps from the flashing monitor lights.

While Jihyo does stay this distudio. He got an empty room next to him. The girl chose to stay distudio instead of renting an apartment. The salary here is not much. Not to mention cut to pay off his debt.

"All right then. Good night Min Yoongi PD-nim." Shihyo shouted as the young man had already closed the door of his room.

Jihyo entered the small room at the corner of this hood. Jihyo lay down her body on the small bed. He sighed. Today was exhausting, wasn't it. Hopefully he can continue to live his day well.

Jihyo Spirit. You can definitely get through it.

Have good night.....

"Jihyo quickly you copy this data into Flasdisk after that you print and share it with all the crew. Then copy the lyrics of this song and share it with Bangtan personnel. Don't forget to give me a demo of the song I made." Yoongi said that sentence like he was praying. Fast and straightforward.

"Hey, Min Yoongi can you talk slowly and give me one task at a time. Hearing you talk makes me dizzy. Not to mention I have to do all this work at once." Jihyo Rutuk. This young man always kept him busy half-dead. Until Jihyo never had time to rest.

"Did you say that? Try again? Min Yoon? didn't I hear wrong. You call me Min Yoongi. Since when have you been that brave as Park Jihyo? You forgot who I am? I'm your boss and you're my subordinate. You should be respectful to me." Yoongi approached Jihyo. Warn this girl to remember where her status is.

"What do I have to do with people like you. You're not even better than the shop owner's uncle across the street. I work here because I have to. I'm underlining because ter.pak.sa. So if you don't like the way I work, you can fire me right now."

Hearing Jihyo Yoongi's words smiled obliquely. "Ah.. You're right, too, Jihyo. I should have fired you a long time ago. Then from tomorrow on you don't have to work here anymore and pay off your debt to me for 1 billion won right now hem."

Jihyo rounded her eyes. He forgot the fact that Jihyo was working here to pay off all the debts she had on Yoon-gi.

Given that Jihyo grimaced softly. Maybe he should invest his whole life into a worker at MIN Entertainment if he wants his debt paid off.

This is how life in Korea is. You have to survive an increasingly violent era of capitalism. Like himself now. Had to fight to pay the debt to Yoon-gi. Though if you think the debt of Jihyo is not even up to 1% of the total wealth owned by this family. But this is the reality of life. Greedy people are more concerned with money than conscience.

It's all because of that damn statue. Had Jihyo not broken Mr. Min's precious statue, her life would have been free by now. If only he had not met Min Yoongi he would not have broken the statue.

Ahhe... This is all the roots of that young man. Why did Jihyo have to meet him again after so long the girl never saw Yoongi. All the misfortune that he got started from Yoon-gi. The former and present Yoon-gi both brought misfortune to Jihyo.

He used to humiliate him for making Jihyo a betting material and now as a debt-paying tool. Oh my God, this world is so cruel. Looks like Jihyo has to make a blacklist for the person she needs to avoid. It was certain that Min Yoon's name would be written on the first list.

"How does Jihyo do you agree?" Yoongi's voice returns Jihyo to the real world.

"Huh... I'm sorry PD-nim. I'll do it right now." That word again. When it comes to accounts payable, this girl will never be able to fight against Yoon-gi.

Hearing that, Yoon smiled. " Good, you finally know where you are Park Jihyo."

...******...

Today the MIN Entertainment building sounded noisy. Almost every room was filled with trainees and idols who were practicing. MIN Entertainment is an agency company that has debuted many popular idols such as BTS and Twice. So do not be surprised if many trainees hang their fate here.

Min Entertainment is the largest agency company in South Korea. In addition to engaged in entertainment, the company also expanded its wings in the property sector which spread almost throughout the city in South Korea. So do not be surprised if you see how much net income is obtained each year. The company has been around for 16 years. It was founded by Min Junho's father, Yoon-gi. But after his father Yoongi died a year ago, the company fell to his only son. Who else if not Min Yoon. But the young man prefers to be a producer and leaves the responsibility of the company to his confidant.

Jihyo looks busy taking care of the data of the new trainees who have been recruited through the global auditions they have held some time ago. The data was so large that it made the girl's eyes hurt from staring at the computer screen for so long.

"Jihyo make me coffee. Remember not to have too much sugar." Hyera's coworker told the girl to make coffee.

"Don't you see I'm busy? Make yourself. You still have hands and feet. Anyway I'm not a coffee maker. Why don't you just tell them to make it?" grunts Jihyo. He was upset because his work was not finished but something was bothering him.

"Hey... You don't remember PD-nim saying that we can tell you to do whatever we want. So do it now." Hyera's cynical gaze made Jihyo roll her eyes lazily.

Jihyo got up from her seat and immediately made Hyera's ordered coffee.

"All right, dear Miss Hyera." Jihyo stepped out of the room full of sinful humans. But just as he was walking towards the end of the door, a voice came back.

"Jihyo did it for ya."

"I am too."

"I'm also one ya."

Jihyo sighed hearing every sound that came out of her co-worker's mouth. Always like this. Consider it the screams of humans who are tormented by hellfire. While Jihyo is an angel who will come to help them. Even if it is just a cup of coffee.

"Well I'll make you all." Jihyo passed away leaving them behind.

This is fucking crazy. MIN Entertainment workers do not have a conscience. They had the heart to treat Jihyo like a maid. Ah.. But blame Min Yoongi for not giving clarity on where she should be. The young man simply told the employees that they could get Jihyo to do anything. The result is that he is now the lackey of the staff here.

Fate is indeed unfair Jihyo. You may indeed be destined to always be stepped on and humiliated.

So spirit......
