Sooyoung is not in the best mood tonight. Work has been a nightmare, a crazy day full of running around and fixing other people’s mistakes - because apparently no one knows how to do their job properly - after a week of hell and the last thing she wants to do is go to a party that celebrates a workmate that most definitely isn’t on Sooyoung’s favourite people list. Still, she has dressed up nicely and put on her make up and is currently on her way to the venue. It’s not a place that she likes, either, but it is one that she has unfortunately visited more than a few times, because for some reason there’s always something that draws her there. 

When she arrives, the sidewalk outside the club is filled to the brim with both workmates and strangers and she takes a deep sigh before stepping out of the cab, looking stunning in her Red Valentino dress and Michael Kors pumps, if she says so herself. She draws eyes to herself immediately, and she knows it, embraces it as she walks into the place with confident strides, avoiding the queue easily with a flash of a smile.

Sooyoung looks around the place from the table she’s currently seated at. The desert has just been brought out and although she hasn’t touched anything else they have served previously, the white and pink cake disappears from her plate in almost no time. With the sweet taste in her mouth, she takes in the decorations around her, the classmates dressed up like princes and princesses, some crowns included. It’s a scene out of a Disney movie, almost like Sleeping Beauty’s wedding, with her and Prince Charming dancing around a beautiful room. 

Soon after, everything is retired from the tables and the live band starts to play, drawing the students to the dance floor. Sooyoung is tempted to join them, but she decides to check on herself at the toilet first, make sure the food has not ruined her make up. 

It’s crammed inside the bathroom, Sooyoung apparently not being the only one needing a touch up. The big dresses all of them are wearing make it even more difficult to move around the room, and so Sooyoung decides to sit on one of the chairs inside and just wait for the air to clear a bit. As she waits for a free spot in front of one of the mirrors, she looks around at the fashion choices everyone else has made for the night. There are some beautiful ones, of course, but because Sooyoung is Sooyoung, she nitpicks at each of them in her head. Some of them are too puffy, to princess-y, even for a Disney themed event like this, and some of them are the complete opposite, too casual for such a night. And then there’s the ones which are beautiful, but the face accompanying them just doesn’t make them justice. One face, however, stands out to Sooyoung in the midst of all the others.

Sooyoung takes out the compact in her clutch, opening it and touching up her blush as she leans closer to the mirror. The bathroom is full of girls in big, puffy dresses who struggle to move, let alone to go to the toilet. The space in front of the small vanity is a bit cramped as well, everyone trying to get close to the mirror to make sure nothing has smeared and they still look perfect, just like Sooyoung is doing. Her make up may have been done by professionals, but that doesn’t mean it’s totally smear-proof. It does mean her touch ups are simple and don’t take long at all. 

She moves away from the mirror and sits on one of the chairs next to it, a whole ordeal considering what she’s wearing, but she’s used to it. And it’s worth it, anyway. Another girl sits right next to her, and Sooyoung recognizes her immediately. Poor Sumin has never done anything to Sooyoung, yet she has relentlessly bullied her throughout their high school years, only because she’s at the bottom of the food chain and Sooyoung is the complete opposite. But tonight, she’s all about being royal, and that means being nice to everyone and not discriminating on the basis of where people come from. To a certain extent, of course.

The weather has been unrelenting lately, scorching hot and humid so that you can barely spend five minutes after a shower without sweating. The studio where Holly is having her photos taken is boiling, despite the several fans spread around, and the make-up artist keeps on having to check her make-up constantly. It’s annoying and it distracts Holly so much, but she powers through it and makes it to the end of the shoot with praises from the photographer and the rest of the magazine’s staff. 

As soon as she gets out of the building, a new wave of heat smacks her on the face and suddenly her craving for ice cream is bigger than ever. God knows she’s not one to diet, but she does have a figure to keep after all, so ice creams are one of the foods she generally avoids. Today, however, she’s not going to resist temptation. The area is well known for her, not far from the Cheongnam that so deeply marked her life, and she goes straight for the Baskin Robbins ice cream parlour inside a nearby mall. 

The place is crowded, full of students in their uniform that are probably looking for some refreshment after the long, hot day. Some of them are actually wearing the Cheongnam uniform, and it brings so many memories for Holly. She hasn’t kept in contact with that many people from high school, and it’s something that she sometimes regrets.
