Gosh, I never thought I would call a man gorgeous, but just wow. They all look gorgeous. I need to know the secret behind their glowing skin. God does have his favourites! The boys are all ready to go to Rever's. You know what I am excited about though... keoho and hyeri seeing each other after high school! Yup. I did some digging and found out they both went to seoul international. I wonder if they were friends, considering their family history. Or maybe they were enemies? The event is stricly limited to celebrities and staff, but I hope one of them has their camera ready to take pictures in case something interesting happens... if you catch my drift.
I wish you all a happy weekend!

“This is the most exquisite dress I have ever seen, madam,” the black haired girl says as she ties the halter tie up behind Hyeri’s back. “Thank you, Ella. It belonged to my mother” Hyeri says. “She had taste,” Ella remarked.
“You think I messed up your hair? Want me to redo it?” Ella asks worriedly as she glances at Hyeri’s reflection in the mirror. Hyeri shakes her head. “There is no need. You did it perfectly” She assures her.
Lee Hyeri comes from Canadian-Korean descent and stands tall at the height of 5 '6, her face is effortlessly magnetic to behold. She carries herself gracefully wherever she goes and only follows one motive in life: no bullshit. Though she is sweet once she trusts you enough.
A knock on the door gains her attention. “That’s mom’s dress?” Martin asks, leaning against the door frame. Hyeri nods. “Baby blue shimmery halter dress couture from the 1994 spring collection. Mom adored this dress so much she didn’t put it up for sale” She reminisces.
“You look beautiful in it. Though I am afraid I have to interrupt you. Dad is growing impatient in the car” Martin informs.
“Just a bit of power mam” Ella says as she hurriedly grabs the make up brush on Hyeri’s table and gives a few taps on her cheek. “All set” she says
Hyeri nods at the girl, then she turns to face Martin. “Tell dad I am grabbing my bag and coming” she told him.
The black Rolls Royce stops in front of the highly decorated hotel gate. The driver gets out of the car and rushes to the back to open the door. Asa steps out, with her signature red stilettos making contact with the concrete floor. Following her, Seonghyeon and Keonho get out of the car.
Rever’s is a luxury club established in the 80’s. Ever since it was established, it gained lots of attention in the media for being high profile celebrities’s go-to place for a weekend out. It not only serves as a bar and restaurant, but also as a venue for events as big as this: the annual summer party.
"They went all out" Seonghyeon mutters when he looks at the giant gate decorated beautifully with flowers. "Yufan will be here" Asa informs Seonghyeon as the driver hands her her black purse from the car. Seonghyeon pauses, "What?" he asks.
"He accepted the offer," Keonho grins at him. Seonghyeon's eyes widened. He looks at Keonho and then at Asa. “He what?” he asks, still in disbelief.
“Me and him are mutuals on social media. When Keonho told me about your idea, I texted him about it. He said his company wouldn’t mind” Asa informed.
A wide grin forms on Seonghyeon’s face. “Now Lumierge can’t beat us anymore,” he said happily. Asa rolled her eyes at her brother. “Get going” she muttered quietly to both of them, ushering them to walk up the stairs to the main hall of the event.
When they reach the top of the stairs, Asa intertwines her arm with theirs and turns to face the swarm of cameras below. “Here it comes boys. Smile!” Asa says under her breath.
The cameras around them flash at their faces and the impatient photographers call out their names loudly. They flash their camera ready smiles for the headlines of tomorrow. They know they will be compared with Lumierge as usual. Though the idea of it draining, it is just how life as the future owner of the big luxury brand Astra is like.
“We have arrived, sir” The driver informs the figures sitting in the car . Hyeri looks outside the window, the pool of photographers piling up on the sides of the entrance, excited to capture every moment. Hyeri grabs her purse to get out, but her father stops her. “Wait” he tells her.
Hyeri lets go of the handle of the car and turns to her father. “Are you nervous?” he asks her. Martin scoffs, “Nervous? Her? She has been waiting for this moment all her life” he says, turning to face his sister from the passenger seat. “I am a bit. But I’ll be fine” Hyeri says, forcing a smile on her face.
“Don’t pay attention to your brother. You are the star of the show tonight. So act like it” he reassures her. Hyeri nods, this time a genuine smile on her face.
“Ouch” Martin says, placing his hand on his chest, to mimic being hurt by his father’s words. The driver opens the door to Hyeri’s side, ushering her to step out.
Just as Hyeri steps out, all the camera flashes at her.
“Hyeri! You look beautiful!”
“Your dress is gorgeous tonight!”
The shouts of all the photographers fill the air as Hyeri flashes a small smile for all the photos for tomorrow’s headlines. “Lee Hyungsoo’s darling daughter brings up a storm in the fashion industry.”
“Your collection was impressive, Hyeri,” Kim Joghyun says as he shakes Hyeri’s hand. “Thank you, Sir.” Hyeri flashes her professional smile at him. “I saw your movie, Jonghyun. It is a hit” Lee Hyungsoo said. “Why, thank you” Jonghyun laughs, sounding a bit awkward.
“I am trying to get Juhoon to take acting seriously. He doesn’t care at all. All he knows is to party and his friends” He says, sounding worried. Then as if struck by another thought, he adds, “You will know him! You went to the same school!”
Hyeri mentally groans. Why does everyone but me care so much about us being in the same school! She thought.
“Oh we have mutuals with each other” she said, trying her best to appear as if she does really remember who Kim Juhoon is.
“Oh give it time,” Hyungsoo reassures him.
“I was partying almost everyday during my college” Hyeri confesses, trying to ease the situation.
“And see where it got you,” Joghyun says sarcastically.
Hyungsoo lets out a hearty laugh. “The kids just need their own time to bloom, you know? I was worried about how Hyeri would turn out till she actually showed me her sketchbook. I am sure that boy got something special hidden within him. If not acting, then something else” He says.
“I doubt he has any other hidden talents. Hopefully he finds it in him to get his shit together, ” Jonghyun says wishfully.
“Excuse me” Hyeri says after finally finding the perfect opportunity to leave the endless congratulatory conversations. She walks towards the food section, leaving the elders to worry about elderly problems by themselves.
Hyeri pouts as she eyes the tray of cupcakes on the table. Should I take one? I don’t even like sweets… she thought. She ended up picking one anyway. She looks around herself to check if her dad is looking out for her. Still talking with Jonghyun, great, she thinks. She walks fast towards the balcony, hoping nobody notices her.
When she had successfully escaped to the balcony, she leaned on the railing. The air outside was cool. The difference between the hall and the air in the balcony is disparate. The balcony was one with an ugly view, that is, because it was placed at the backside of the building. Hyeri had no idea why the architect would decide to build one here of all places, since you couldn’t even enjoy the view. When you looked outside from the balcony, you would see a building with little to no windows. And if you looked down, you would find two bouncers guarding the backdoor of the club. Whatever reason the architect may have had, Hyeri didn’t complain. Because something about a celebrity being in an ugly place is that: they are never expected to be there. Thus, no cameras.
She fiddles with the chain of her purse, unsure. She places the tray with her cupcake on the railing, which was wide enough to hold it and unzips her purse. She takes out her pack of cigarettes and lights one. The balcony offers great privacy for the moment.
And as if by weird bad luck for the night, a voice speaks up. “Tired from the crowd?”.
Hyeri is startled, her cigarette almost falling from her fingertips. She turns around, expecting the worst, but instead she is met with a blonde haired boy.
She squints, not being able to make out his face in the dark. She sees lips rise in the corners from the small amount of light falling on his face. He was definitely smiling. He takes a step towards her, the light now falling on his face. She immediately recognises who it was, “Not to sound like every other person out there, but your collection was great” he says as he extends his hand to her, “Zhao Yufan” he introduces himself.
Hyeri stubs her cigarette on the railing and throws it away. She shakes his hand. “Who doesn’t know The Zhao Yufan?” she says, humour in her voice.
Yufan chuckles. “May I assume you listen to my music?” he asks.
“Unfortunately, No. My brother is a huge fan and he can’t shut up about it”
“Oh. Here I was getting ahead of myself. Have I interuptted your alone time?”
Hyeri mentally scoffed. “You’re good” she told him, even though she was very visibly interrupted from her alone time.
“You don’t want it?” Yufan says, pointing at the cupcake resting on the railing.
“Not a big fan of sweets” Hyeri tells him.
“I am” He says as he takes the cupcake in his hands. “Mind it if I take this?” He asks.
“Not at all,” Hyeri responds.
Hyeri watches as James takes a bite. She mentally lets out a sigh. She lied to him. She did enjoy his music. It was because of Martin that she had discovered it, and she never stopped listening to him since then. She was never a huge fan like Martin was, but she was a regular listener.
“So… you're tired from the crowd too?” She asks, trying to act nonchalant.
“Not really,” James replied, biting on his cupcake. He swallows and then adds,”I just really wanted a hit”
James stuffs the remaining cupcake in his mouth and takes out a rolled blunt from his pockets and grins at her. Hyeri’s eyes widened at the sight, internally fighting the urge to ask him for one for herself too.
“That can get you in trouble” She tells him.
“Only if you don’t tell my company” James tells her, putting the blunt between his lips. “Can I borrow your lighter?” he asks.
Hyeri grabs the lighter from her bag and hands it to him. “So you will be high in an event full of photographers?” She asked.
James chuckled. “Nothing too crazy,” he remarked. “You can resume what you were doing though. I wished I could give you a blunt for yourself, but I only have one for tonight. That is unless you are up for sharing this” He adds.
“Share it” Hyeri replies without hesitation
It is now Jame’s turn to be shocked. “Dang. I thought you were all perfect”
“You know me?” Hyeri asks, taking the blunt from Jame’s hands .
“Kinda. My manager is crazy about your designs. She keeps talking about you so much I might classify as a super fan myself by the amount of things I know”
“Really? What college did I go to?” She asks, taking a puff
“New york fashion school. You were also a huge party girl then. You bagged yourself an internship in Louis V in one of them” James states, taking the blunt back from her.
Hyeri frowns. “You know quite a lot,” she told him.
“I only answered one question” he laughs
“How many siblings do I have?”
“One. Your brother is Martin Edwards, who I made acquaintances with yesterday. Great guy, he is a bit awkward though”
Hyeri exhaled. “You could classify as a stalker now”
“All are public information sweetheart” he tells her.
Hyeri sneers at the nickname. “You are weird,” she tells him.
“I think you meant funny”
“Funny too. But weird mostly”
James hands her his blunt. “You finish it” he tells her.
“Are you not afraid of smelling like weed?” she asks him.
“Are you not? That is a pretty dress you are wearing. You wouldn’t want it to smell like weed, would you?”
Hyeri sighed again. He had a point. “I am afraid I already smell like it” she told him
James smiled at the brunette girl. “Worry not, We can totally get rid of it” he tells her.
“Cute jacket. Who are you wearing?” Juhoon asked, rubbing the fabric of Keonho’s jacket between his fingers.
“Rick Owens,” Keonho replied.
Seonghyeon joins them with two champagne glasses in his hands, “Oh hey Juhoon. You want one?” he asks as he hands one glass to Keonho.
“I am good” Juhoon waves his hands off.
“I saw your dad with Hyeri’s. They look like best friends” Seonghyeon tells Juhoon.
“Oh I bet he is. Definitely insulting me to him as we speak” Juhoon rolls his eyes.
“You deserve it” Asa says as she chimes in
“Hello to you, my girlfriend” Juhoon grins as he attempts to wrap his arms around Asa, but she backs off. “Not now” she tells him. Juhoon lets out an exasperated sigh.
Seonghyeon grins at the sight in front of him. “Poor you” he tells Juhoon, enjoying his suffering. Then he adds, “Have you seen James though? You said he would be here but I haven’t seen him at all”
“Me neither” Keonho responds
“He is probably somewhere the cameras can’t find him” Juhoon remarks, then his gaze catches the blonde boy walking across the room, “Oh look- there he is” he points at him.
When the Ahn’s turn to face the direction Juhoon was pointing at, all their previous expression is now changed to a frown. James is standing near the dessert section, a cupcake in his hands as he is conversing with Hyeri and her stupidly tall brother, Martin.
“Damn you Martin. What is his problem” Seonghyeon mutters.
Juhoon chuckles, “You are acting like James is your boyfriend” he says.
“He wishes he was,” Asa says, smiling.
Keonho’s eyes stood fixed on the trio across the room. He immediately recognised her gown. It was the baby blue shimmery halter from the 1994 spring collection. It was one of the few pieces from Lumierge that was the case of the artist getting too attached to their arts, thus not putting it up for sale. Now it was probably a family heirloom.
The dress hugs her slim figure perfectly. The halter neck adores her neck. Hyeri’s hair is put up in a messy bun, and her make up is plain but striking. The gown is backless, giving the main spotlight to her beautiful back. Pretty, he thought.
His frown was the result of seeing Hyeri laughing and smiling at Jame’s jokes along with her idiotic brother. In his head, he had imagined Hyeri to be- with all due respects- hard to get along with. At least that is how he has always remembered her. So how did she manage to be so…normal with a guy she probably just met?
“I bet she is trying to steal him from us” Seonghyeon says
“Steal him from us? Don’t be ridiculous. We haven’t even announced it” Asa says.
“Announce what?” Juhoon asked, clueless
“We are collabing with him this fall. Do not tell anyone about this” Asa inform him.
“You are afraid she will steal your muse?” Juhoon asks as he bursts into laughter. “Dude, you think she will make him wear Lumierge gowns?”
Seonghyeon groaned, “Back me up keon!” he protested.
Keonho turned to face his brother, who was now pouting. “Time to crash conversations like how Edwards did yesterday” he said, mischief evident in his voice.
Seonghyeon grinned ear to ear, “Hell yeah” he said as he slapped his brother’s back, encouraging him to go with the plan.
Asa sighed to herself. “Why do I even bother to stop you?” she said as she watched them both walk towards the trio across the room.
“I didn’t expect you both to be friends” Martin tells Hyeri, his expression that of ‘you are going to tell me how the fuck this happened the moment we are alone’
“Neither did I. Your sister is really different from what I imagined her to be” James tells him.
“Oh come on, you thought I was going to be a bitch?” Hyeri asked
“Not that- just a bit hard to approach. That is what my manager told me about you” James tells her.
“That she is. I wonder how you got on her good side” Martin says, earning himself a stern look from Hyeri. He grins at her, which soon turns into that of a serious expression when he sees the pair of boys approaching them from behind her.
He looks away from the brothers, hoping if he ignores them, they won't approach him. But it seemed so they just had to get the payback for him crashing their conversation last night. “James! We meet again” Keonho says as he extends his hands towards the blonde boy, shaking it.
Hyeri mentally groans. Great! The devil himself! She thought. “Hi Hyeri” Keonho flashes a big grin towards the brunette girl. “I haven’t seen you since high school!”
James looks between both of them, ‘You guys know each other?” he asked.
Hyeri forces a chuckle. “We are family friends,” she tells him.
“That is funny, because my label just agreed for me to collaborate with them this fall,” James says.
Hyeri’s head immediately turns to face her brother, her eyes wide, the tall blonde shakes his head at her, just as shocked. “You guys are…collabing?” Martin asks, his voice unsure.
Keonho looks at his brother, who has the expression of ‘This was totally a bad idea to go with’. He mentally cursed himself for even deciding to come up to crash their conversation. And why was he so scared of them knowing anyway? It is true James is a rising star and everyone wants him to work with them, but what good does Lumierge have with a male ambassador? So what enemy brand got to know who their muse was before the official announcement? It was not like they could do anything about it anyway.
“Yeah… we haven’t announced it yet” Keonho says awkwardly.
Hyeri raises an eyebrow at James, who looks at her confused, “Was I supposed to tell you about it..?” he asked, unsure.
Hyeri shakes her head, dismissing him, “Nothing. I am just a bit shocked.”
“That James would agree to work with you” she told him, putting on her sweetest smile.
“What is that supposed to mean?” Seonghyeon asked, offended
“Nothing. Why don’t you three discuss your future plans? I will borrow my brother now” She says, grabbing Martin’s arm and walking away with him.
Seonghyeon scoffs. “Both the Edward siblings are insufferable. What was the need to be so mean? Gosh she defeated us like ONCE!” He exclaimed.
James awkwardly looked between the two brothers in front of him. “Did I… do something bad?” He asked
“It’s not your fault. Hyeri just doesn’t like us” Keonho reassured him.
James frowned, still confused at the situation that took place in front of him. “Why don’t you grab a drink with us and schedule a date for the official meeting?” Keonho asked, trying to bring light into the conversation.
James nodded. “Sure. Let’s do that” he said.
“So… are we gonna talk about it?” Martin asks his sister, who is still grabbing his hands and leading him to god knows where.
“Nope. We go home. I will call the driver” She told him
“Why? Are you upset over a simple collab of some rival company?”
“I am not. I just want to go home”
“Come on. Don’t be childish. Sometimes it feels like I am the older sibling”
Hyeri glares at Martin, “I am not childish” she tells him
“Is that men’s perfume you are wearing? God, you smell just like Jam- Wait… did you both…?”
“NO! Gosh. No. We smoked a blunt and I was scared I would have smelled. So he gave me his cologne.”
“You know it is more suspicious when you smell like a man right?”
“That's why I am going home before dad catches me and take a shower. Please, can you co-operate?”
“Why do I HAVE to come home with you?”
“Do you have friends here?”
“Figured. We are going home then”
Martin groaned out of frustration. “It is always useless arguing with you,” he told her. “Because I am always right,” she told him.
“And you smoked without me too. I feel hurt. You are the only friend I have in seoul” Martin pouts.
“Ew. Don’t call us friends. And you are a kid”
Martin rolled his eyes. “I can’t wait to go home and slam the door to your face”
“Likewise” Hyeri replied, a satisfied grin on her face from winning the argument.
note: phew... format is slightly changed. The way I literally procastinate writing this series and then pick it up once and write for hours straight till I am done... Pls I checked the gramatical errors but I will recheck it again later when I have a fresh mind in case I missed any.
