Quality Check

Upon arriving at the JYP building, Seungdae asked for directions to the office Momo had indicated, stating he was there ‘as a freelance developer to meet the hiring manager.’ Also, as instructed by the Japanese girl.

A staff member guided him to the office, where he saw a suited man already sitting there with Jihyo. He had gotten there a few minutes before twelve, so he decided to wait for Momo to show up. Unfortunately for him, before he could get comfortable in the hallway, Jihyo leaned out of the room. “Hey, ‘big boy’, come on in.”

He entered the office, which only had a small table with six chairs and a black glass that seemed to be used as a blackboard. Inside the room, there was another door, although there was no way to see what was behind it.

“It’s a bit early, but we are complete now; we can start when you wish, Miss Park,” said the man. Jihyo simply nodded, making him stand up to close the door, locking it. “Please, Mr. Hwang, make yourself comfortable, take a seat.” Seungdae followed along, and the man proceeded.

“I’m Mr. Kim, one of the company’s lawyers. I think you met my partner last week, Mr. Choi,” he said in a very friendly manner. “I imagine Miss Park here needs no introduction.”

Seungdae finally dared to see Jihyo. Her hair was up, letting her white tank top show her slim shoulders as it hugged her breasts. “Yeah, no need,” he nodded at the lawyer and nodded at Jihyo, thinking if her tits were bigger than Momo’s or if it was just the color accentuating her features. “Did I miss something? Wasn’t Momo supposed to be here?”

“You will see her later,” Jihyo clarified in a serious tone, “I just thought it was the best way to get you here and shut her up.”

Seungdae’s face was clear, he was confused. The woman looked at the lawyer, and he nodded confidently. “You’re not in trouble of any kind,” the woman clarified. “Momo has not shut up about you and how well you made her feel.” Silence took over the room for two seconds, “both physically and emotionally.”

“I-I’m glad she felt that way. I was a bit worried about her. She seemed alright when she left, but…”

“She told me,” Jihyo raised her hand, shutting him up. “I hope you understand that’s a sensitive topic that even she does not bring up to light very often.”

He nodded, but just before he could reply, the lawyer intervened. “Since we’re already talking about this, I think you should sign this up first, Mr. Hwang,” Mr. Kim handed him a folder and a pen. “This NDA includes the subjects we’ll be discussing today and the offer in this folder.” The younger man scanned it and signed it, handing it back to the lawyer.

“I’ll be direct,” Jihyo placed her hand on the table, “Momo has been begging me to include you at our table of Companions.” Seungdae raised an eyebrow, pretending to be confused.

“Mr. Hwang,” the lawyer intervened, hands flowing in front of him as he explained, “people in this industry require trustworthy and efficient people helping them to release any kind of tension in order to excel at their job. We call them ‘Companions’. Men and women who perform sexual acts for and with our artists as a living.”

“Momo was serious about it,” Seungdae murmured to himself, barely opening his mouth.

“Companions have a ranking system that depends on the reviews of our artists. However, this is built through years of labour. In your case, considering you are a foreigner to this and your experience with Miss Hirai, you will not be in the catalogue available for everyone. You will be assigned as a Companion of the Twice members until someone else requests your services through their leader or manager. Call it Chief approval, if you like.”

“Okay, that’s clear enough, but even if Momo was pushing you to include me in… This,” he looked at Jihyo, still confused, “why are you actually going through with it? And if I sign, what responsibilities would I have?”

“We’ve been struggling…” Jihyo exhaled, trying to get the right words. “Most of the girls in the company have taken some men from the catalog, but they were left unsatisfied. Some of them have scared them,” she ended with a regretful tone as her mind clearly remembered more than one instance.

“The way you treated Momo, spoke to her, and reacted to every bit of her… We need someone like that,” her tone warmed up. “Someone who actually treats us as humans. I want that for all my members and my hoobaes.”

“As for your duties,” the lawyer opened the second folder, “consent is key here. You will answer their call and meet them where they tell you to satisfy their needs. Any romantic feelings must be avoided to preserve professionalism. Safe words are needed as some girls are into rough play,” he pointed to the clauses of the contract on the table.

“Since you would be an anomaly in our system,” he continued, “we thought it would be fair to let you add your own clauses. You don’t have to do this today, but we’re aiming to have the final signatures next Friday,” he explained. “Please, read it. Page seven includes your monetary compensation,” he handed the folder to Seungdae.

“Where can I make a call?” He asked the lawyer after reading through the contract, who guided him to a different office. After ensuring the door was locked, Seungdae called Jin to explain the situation.

“ Whoa, they’re serious business, huh?”

“What do you think? I need to know how you feel about all this, and I want your opinion.”

“ Asking you to say no to this would be hypocritical of me. If you can add your clauses, aim for your own well-being.”

“I know, I would not like any permanent scars,” he said, passing his hand through his back.

“ I would love it if this doesn’t mess with our timing. It’s hard enough for us to meet already, even harder when it’s the three of us.”

“My point exactly. The last thing I want is to ruin what we’ve built.”

“ You won’t, oh, great one. I’ll talk with ‘the prince’ after he’s done filming today.”

“Thank you, Jin…”

“ Thank you for thinking of us before signing. And… Good luck. I have to get back; the sun won’t wait for us, and the staff is calling me. We’ll talk later tonight.”

“Duty calls, princess, I get it. Take care.”

Seungdae went back to the office to find Mr. Kim talking closely to Jihyo. They turned to him as soon as he entered the room. “I have requests for the clauses.”

Jihyo smiled, looked at the lawyer, and then back at Seungdae. “Let’s hear them.”

“You mentioned consent is key. I need to be able to negotiate when I will meet you and, well, anyone else,” he began.

“Whoa! Twice is asking you to fuck them, and you get picky about it?” Jihyo was truly surprised, thinking anyone would just sign without thinking twice about it.

“I have my priorities clear, but I’m not stupid enough to let this opportunity go,” he raised his eyebrows, looking at her eyes. “There will be times when I won’t be available. The problem is, I don’t control when this will be.”

“The friend that got you the ticket and works in the industry, but no one knows,” Jihyo said with a smirk, “I get it, it’s fine. Note it down,” she requested the lawyer, “if I want you to respect us, we also need to respect you.”

“Thank you,” he said, a bit surprised at how easy that was. “Also, my house is off limits. I appreciate my privacy as much as the next person. I want to keep it that way.”

“That will be beneficial for both parties,” said Mr. Kim with a smile as he wrote. “Anything else?”

“I am not restricted from having sex with other people, am I?” Seungdae’s face turned serious.

“Of course not. But we’ll need your medical records, and you’ll be tested periodically for everyone’s safety going forward. It’s written on page five, paragraph seven,” the lawyer replied. Seungdae nodded, satisfied.

“One more step before you sign, handsome,” Jihyo leaned to the table, tits resting on it. “While Mr. Kim writes down your clauses, I’ll need to test you myself,” she smirked, locking her big eyes on him, noticing how he could not avoid looking up and down between her boobs, lips, and eyes.

“S-sure thing,” he replied, confused by her sudden change.

“Now,” she stood up while Mr. Kim picked up his papers. She took Seungdae’s hand, making him follow her. She opened the other door within the office and walked him through a small, dark hallway.

He was confused, barely able to see anything in the hallway. His eyes had always taken a bit too long to adapt to the dark. He followed her steps and heard her open another door. He tried not to hit the frame as they walked past it.

When she turned on the light, he saw a large bed, a couch, and a mirror on the wall with a clock above it. ‘Must be a double-sided mirror,’ he thought, as its position was opposite to the glass blackboard from earlier.

Jihyo took off her shoes and left them at the entrance before throwing her phone near the pillows on the bed. She sat on its edge and tapped the space on her left, signaling him to sit with her. “Look, Momo spoke really highly of you, but you have to understand she’s… Pretty much a cock addict, in abstinence of a few things.”

She turned to look at him better and let her leg rest on the bed as he sat next to her after leaving his shoes near the entrance. “I trust that woman with my soul, but she hasn’t had much kindness when it comes to sexual partners, so I wanted to be sure you’re good for all nine of us before I open the doors for you.”

“I completely get it,” he nodded lightly, “so, what now?”

“You’re at my service,” Jihyo began, leaning towards him and grabbing the neck of his shirt. “You will follow my instructions to the letter,” she got closer to his lips. “I want you naked, now,” she commanded, letting him feel her breath before she let go of him.
