1st day of work

Linda woke up the next day feeling refreshed. Suddenly, her door burst open and Yuki ran in , waving a newspaper. “Linda! Look at this!” she exclaimed.

Linda took the paper and was surprised to see the news article. “Darn him! My first day of being their assistant manager and I have to be face with this!” Linda grumbled as she went to refresh herself.

Linda came into the meeting room. “Ohayo!” she chirped.

Everyone stared at her. “What is she doing here?” Yamapi muttered.

Johnny shot a glare at him and turned to Linda. “Guys, this is your new assistant manager. She will now be assisting you guys to lighten up your poor manager’s work. Her name is Linda Masaki and I think she prefers you to call her Linda. Anyway, she is very fierce and don’t try to mess with her,” Linda’s uncle introduced her which made Linda glare at him when she heard his words.

“Linda desu. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu,” she bowed.

“Ok, let’s get the meeting started. 1st to solve is this problem at hand. Yamapi dating Ai Yuu. What is this all about?” Johnny asked sternly.

Yamapi groaned. “She’s just a friend,” he replied.

“Friend?” Johnny asked.

“Anou, Uncle. I’ll take care of this problem. It’ll be settled by tomorrow. Don’t worry about it. She’s just a friend right?” Linda asked, jotting this information down.

Yamapi nodded. “Some friend. A shoplifter, a porn star. Hmm…I think you just want have some release,” Linda muttered under her breath.

Yamapi heard it and flared. “You don’t even know her! How can you judge? She just needs attention, not like you a spoilt brat! Everyone has to listen to you or you make a huge tantrum! You have everything you need, so back off!” Yamapi retorted heatedly.

Linda glared. “At least I don’t USE my body or shoplift!” she retorted.

Yamapi smirked. “ How would I know? A spoilt rich brat like you will do anything for fun. You do not need to stoop so low to gain attention like her,” Yamapi retorted.

Linda slapped his face hard. “You don’t know anything about me so you fairly well just shut up! Uncle, I’ll excuse myself. I’ll have to call the press,” Linda replied shakily and left the room.

“You deserve that,” Johnny told Yamapi and they resume their meeting for a while longer before being dismissed.

Linda ran to Kat-tun’s room. She opened the door and flew into Jin’s arms. “Jin-chan, he’s so mean. He said that I do anything for the sake of fun. I’m not like that, am I?” She sobbed in his chest.

Jin was surprised to see Linda like that. His heart ached for her. The rest of the Kat-tun members went out of the room quietly to give them some space. They knew Linda pretty well as they did hang out together lots of times.

Jin just held her till she calm down. “Gomen, Jin-chan,” she sniffed when she pulled away from him.

“Daijoubu. Who’s that person?” he asked.

Linda told him the whole story abot her being NEWS assistant manager and stuff. Jin shook his head. “He’s going to get it from me,” he thought to himself.

“Hmm…I feel better now. I’ll have work to do so I meet you later?” Linda smiled.

Jin nodded. “I’ll call you,” he replied as he watched her went out.

Jin went to NEWS room and approached Yamapi. Yamapi grinned. “Yoz!” he replied.

Jin gave him a punch on his stomach. “What was that for?” Yamapi grimaced.

“For Linda-chan,” he replied.

“What? You know her? That idiotic girl?” he asked.

Jin glared. “She’s not an idiot! You are! How could you say such things to her? Yes, she may be a spoilt brat and she’s rich. What makes you have the right to compare her with your filthy chick? Your chick is nothing compared to her. Linda is more pitiful than her. She has parents who don’t even care for her. She got into mischief like tying up musicians so that she could perform and show to her parents that she exists. No one pays any attention to her and if anyone does, is all because of her money. She knows she’s always being used yet she always puts on a happy face. Do you know that about her?” Jin said angrily.

Yamapi kept quiet. “If I hear her crying about you again, I’m not letting you off even though you are my best friend, do you understand?” Jin warned and turned to leave.

“Hold on, Jin,” Yamapi called him.

“Why do you care so much about her?” he asked.“Because she’s special to me,” Jin replied and left.
