stand still.

( 송 ) NADINE had plans to be on her best behavior for the duration of the night since this was a very important night for her family. her mother was holding a soirée at their residence to celebrate the upcoming launch of her spring collection, and there was a multitude of people at the event—from other high-profile fashion designers to runway models to elite journalists. 

the only duty that nadine really had was to flash her award-winning smile and answer any questions that anyone may have, but she even found that to be difficult because as the night progressed, she was becoming more and more restless. for some odd reason, her sex drive seemed to be going into overdrive and she couldn’t exactly pinpoint why. perhaps it was the new psychiatric medicine that she’s started recently, or maybe the copious amounts of alcohol that she has consumed throughout the course of the night was the culprit. regardless of the root of the problem, she was in desperate need of a solution as quickly as possible. 

clearly, she couldn’t excuse herself from the dinner table and take care of it herself, for that would be indecent—and not even just that, but that would entail ditching her friend, remi (who she practically had to beg to come in the first place, for the sake of her not being by her lonesome), and that’s not something that nadine found to be appropriate, either. 

the brunette was squirming subtly in her seat, trying to put on an act and pretend as if she was just trying to adjust the short dress that she chose to wear that evening. while the older lady across from her was attempting to strike up conversation about nadine’s future, her mind was distracted as explicit thoughts flooded in instead, her golden brown eyes concentrating on the wine glass in front of her in order to avoid making awkward eye contact. 

( 송 ) “ LISTEN— tea is essential before i go out anywhere! just TRY to be patient, please. i’ll be ready in a second. i promise. ” nadine spoke into the phone as it was tucked between her ear and shoulder, her cheek helping to support it. both of her hands were occupied with holding up the top of her strapless gown as her housekeeper was helping her squeeze inside of it. it was in that moment when nadine decided that she really needed to stop eating so many croissants during breakfast.

she was getting ready for a fancy masquerade ball, and when she initially got invited, she immediately knew that she should ask her friend, chaeyeong, to accompany her. even though they were just starting to get to know each other, she was already starting to enjoy her company. plus, the fact that they were going to have their faces covered with masks proved to be a good way to hang out with someone involved in the entertainment industry with some anonymity.

once nadine was finally inside of the snug garment, she heaved out a sigh, dropping her arms down before holding onto her phone and speaking into it again. “ okay, i’m finally inside of this damn dress. i’ll see you soon! ” after hanging up, she checked the time on her phone and realized how late she was actually running, which ultimately made her decide to not drink her ever-so-important tea and quickly finish getting ready instead. she sat down on her plush mattress and put on her matching heels, grabbing her clutch from off of her nightstand and hurriedly making her way towards the elevator.

once she was inside of the elevator, she whipped out her rose gold iphone and decided to take chaeyeong a very important text– one that she should have asked while they were talking on the phone.
