Two Sided

CHAPTER 5. LUNCH

Part 4's

".. Thanks."

Video footage of the live press conference stopped there. Eliz put his phone on the table and began to refocus on his work.

She is currently in the recording studio to finish the song she recorded yesterday with her co-workers. After listening to the results this morning, Eliz was not satisfied with the mixing done by his partner. The man didn't complete his directive perfectly yesterday. Therefore, Eliz was forced to do his own mixing and editing in completing the song he produced.

After spending 3 hours, it finally finished the final song of the ost. Eliz kept the song on a hard drive. After breaking out, Eliz exited the recording studio and headed to his study. On the way, Eliz was able to see some trainees and staff who recognized his face due to today's scandal.

"Huh" Eliz sighed in annoyance at her. She really dislikes being the center of attention for such unimportant reasons. Eliz can even hear bad gossip about her from the mouths of people who still do not believe the truth of Yoojin's statement at the press conference.

Once inside the production team's office, Eliz walked straight to his desk. Before Dudu, Eliz called Hyunwoo.

"Hyunwoo, catch!" Call Eliz while throwing the hard drive he was carrying. A bit clumsy in shock, Hyunwoo managed to catch Eliz's throw.

"What's this?" Hyunwoo asked without caring about the way Eliz called him informally. Just 2 days after getting to know him, Hyunwoo knew enough that the 12-year-old girl called everyone the same way even to Yoojin who was the big boss of YJ. American Style's.

"The final song of the ost that we recorded yesterday. Compare your and mine results and learn what you're wrong with. I've written down important notes and some tips in them. I hope you can adjust quickly to my standards for songwriting" explains Eliz, who then starts sitting at his desk and turns on the computer. Then the girl began to sink into her own world taking care of other work while connecting by phone with someone using Chinese. Some people initially noticed in amazement, but after a few hours they began to get used to Eliz's fluency in Chinese.

Time passed and showed it was already 6 p.m. For office people, that time is the hour to go home. But for those who work in entertainment companies, it is very difficult to go home at that hour. And maybe only Eliz who adheres to the usual office hours in YJ because it has entered into his terms of work. Although sometimes he will come home late when he has not completed the recording even though the return hour has arrived. This is because Eliz always finishes the recording at one time and will not go home before it is finished.

"The schwester!" Call Charles while patting Eliz's shoulder still focused on the data on the computer and phone connection.

"Charles, what's up here?" Eliz asked confusedly. He also began speaking German.

"It's 6 o'clock. Let's get back together. Tonight we're going to do a party because you're going to settle down in Korea" Charles said, taking him home with ease. Some people began to observe them in silence once they realized Charles' unusual presence.

"That's right," said Eliz who was a bit complaining because he was lazy to party. Suddenly the voice on the phone came back in and made him reply to the question of the person across there, "(China) Yes? Charles arrived. Want to talk to her?" Eliz said to the man.

"My wem sprichst du? (Who are you talking to?)" Ask Charles.

"(China) Hao ba (Alright)" Eliz said before closing his call and starting to focus on Charles.

"Tante An (Aunt An)," Eliz answered Charles' question.

"Oh.. An Grossmutter (Oh. An's grandmother)," murmured Charles. She clearly knew who An's grandmother was. The Chinese woman had become a relative after marrying one of her grandmother's cousins. An's grandmother began to be a confidant of Eliz and her father used to replace the husband who died.

"All right, let's go home. I'm done with work" Eliz said after Charles waited for 10 minutes.

"Come," said Charles, who immediately embraced Eliz, leaving an impression that he was very close to Eliz.

Eliz who had just been exposed to the scandal was quite disturbed and immediately gave an explanation to the people in the room.

"Don't think no. We're brothers" said Eliz, who began speaking Korean again.

"I didn't say anything" elak Hyunwoo. Since then, he has been looking curious.

"This boy is my nephew. If he makes trouble, just report it to me. I could call his father immediately to bring him back to France" said Eliz, who was immediately protested by Charles.

"Eliz, how could that be! You wicked aunt," cried Charles.

"Yayayaa. We go first, yes" Eliz said on his way home. " Let's go" he continued, drawing Charles, who began to give him many explanations about how important he was in Korea.

....

Before you start, one thing you should know. When Charles says party, it means really party. As soon as the apartment door opened, Eliz could see that the room had been converted into a private club. The disco music sounded loud. Many people are dancing. Others were sitting with liquor in their hands.

The only people who attended this party were those who knew Eliz through one of his identities. Like a beautiful woman who is living her dance in the middle room. She is Yena, one of the girl group members who when making her solo debut using the song Eliz. It just so happened that Eliz was in Korea, so he also produced the song himself in his private studio.

Like Yena, there are 1 girl group with 4 members and there are 3 solo singers whose songs are made and produced by Eliz. So if added to the US, there are 13 singers who know and have met Eliz. The rest, only those who are lucky to get a song from a HAEL. He as HAEL himself has copyrighted almost 200 songs in the span of 8 years.

After greeting some people, Eliz sees that it turns out Steve did not come alone. He comes along with his close friend Tang Lun (a Chinese chaebol who is also friends with Eliz) and someone Eliz knows quite well through social media. The man is Choi Hyuk, one of the chaebol in Korea. Since when did the man get close enough to Steve to be brought here?

"Hi, Steve!" Eliz also with his own initiative approached Steve out of curiosity. He intentionally greeted Steve in Korean. They both speak Chinese and English more often.

"Eliz, you're finally here. Sit down with us" welcome Steve to the Korean language that is no less fluent. Steve pulls Eliz and makes him sit between himself and Tang Lun.

"Lau Tang (Old Tang), are you here too?" Say hello to Eliz in Korean, although he did not change his name to Tang Lun.

"Xiao Li, of course I'm coming. I'd like to meet this sweet sister of mine," replied Tang Lun who turned out to be quite good in Korean.

"So, my present?" Eliz asked spoiled as he often did to his older family. Tang Lun immediately laughed at the question. He took out an envelope of documents and gave it to Eliz. Eliz quickly opened the envelope and was delighted to see it.

"Lau Tang is the best! Thank you, Lau Tang," said Eliz who then presented a kiss on Tang Lun's cheek.

"You are so sweet. It felt like I wanted to take it home and exchange it with my bad sister at home," Tang Lun said. He was really jealous of Steve who had a sweet cousin sister like Eliz.

"Hey, don't act recklessly! You want to add to the scandal like this morning? Then do the confirmation that unfortunately once again scandals with a man who is like a brother?" Steve's sweat in a quite possessive tone. Eliz looked at him unhappily.

Although not sharing the same blood, Steve has the same traits as all the descendants of the Lee family, which is possessive of the sisters in the family. This happened because of the lack of girls born in the Lee family. One man in the grandfather's generation, Judith. One person in the generation of the father is Anna who is the son of Judith. And two of the Elizites, himself and Belle, were the sons of Anna. The rest are just boys. Even in the Charles generation there were no daughters at all. Fortunately there is still hope for Elizabeth and Jonathan who are still unmarried. Well even Eliz...

"Here you go, you two still like to mock each other," Tang Lun said as she shook her head in an inexhaustible manner.

Everyone at the table was silent for a moment. No one continues the conversation. Not waiting, Eliz also began to ask about the thing that made him curious earlier.

"So, why is this guy here?" Eliz asked Steve who was actually disrespectful.

"Hahaha, I haven't introduced you yet huh? Meet Choi Hyuk, my friend and college friend Tang Lun. We know each other because last year's business was efficient, you know," explained Steve. Eliz seemed to notice Choi Hyuk who started to straighten up and put on a calm face. This guy is the type who talks little and always puts on the face of business.

"I'm Choi Hyuk from CS Group. Greetings," said Choi Hyuk.

"I know who you are. What I'm asking is, why are you here? This isn't your place to open up business opportunities? And I wouldn't be happy if that was your intention here" Eliz said in a somewhat emphasized tone. Suddenly his domineering aura came out as soon as his eyes stared intently at Choi Hyuk.

"Hey, hey, relax! I just wanted to introduce him to you and then party. On business, how could I do it now knowing you wouldn't like it, right?" Steve tried to calm the mood. Eliz lowered his dislike gaze and began to smile sweetly again.

"All right then. Never do business in my private environment. Remember that," Eliz told Choi Hyuk with a sweet smile that was unfortunately full of warning.

"Uncle Steve, are you here?" Sapa Charles who suddenly comes with Ben.

"of course. How can you throw a party without inviting me, huh?" Reply Steve. It turned out that this man invited himself and instead brought his friend as well.

"Hahaha, I think uncle is busy so I didn't call you," replied Charles kindly. Unfortunately, that doesn't sound good to Steve's ears.

"Can you not call me uncle? I'm still young! How can you call me "uncle" and call Eliz "brother". That's not fair, son! We're a generation old" protested Steve who was upset at his young age should be called uncle even though in reality Charles was indeed his nephew.

Charles laughed when he heard it. He overheard Steve's complaints about the call. In reality, Charles simply refused to call Eliz "auntie" because the girl was only 3 years older than him and had a baby face that was enough to make her look even younger.

"Ben, you coming too?" Hello Eliz to Ben who has since digested the words of the three people who turned out to be the family.

"Yes. Charles invited me," replied Ben. He then unintentionally exchanged glances with Choi Hyuk and was stunned for a moment. Eliz grasped the change in expression and saw Choi Hyuk also quite reacted with the arrival of Ben.

"What's wrong with you two, look at each other? Don't-don't.." Eliz deliberately made both of them aware by saying ambiguous sentences.

"He's my brother" Ben replied uncomfortably.

"You brothers?" Charles' response was shocked.

"Step brother to be more precise," Choi Hyuk said in a somewhat cold tone. Looks like this guy doesn't really like his half-sister, Eliz thought.

"Yes, stepbrother." Ben nodded in confirming.

"What happened to the half-brother? Me and Eliz are also foster cousins. Just relax, relax!" Nimbrung Steve whose mouth seems to itch. Eliz then stomped on the man's feet because he could not see the atmosphere that was not just awkward.
