Climbing out of the family limousine (yes, they had one), Sehun popped another Swedish Fish in his mouth, glancing up at the tall building that towered up, up, up. Scrawled across the building’s front in pink, edgy cursive was “INTRIGUE”, the fashion company his eldest sister used as a base for all her projects. Today was a simple and friendly little brother to big sister call, as the Games pulled him away from seeing much of his family. 

Seeing as his sister practically owned the building, the staff were exceptionally polite and helpful in getting him up all thirty floors to where her office and work place were. He simply needed to walk in and have someone take notice, and then he’d be whisked up top. Not a bad existence, really. He got off the shiny elevator and headed down the carpeted hallway to his sister’s office, knocking on the door but receiving no answer. He then headed down to where she worked on her designs and knocked again. “Jinae-ah, are you in?”

After eating breakfast with Jinae, they had arrived at her office where she had promised to show Bora around and hopefully give her a glimpse of her new collection. She was excited to see what Jinae was creating and hopefully she could regain some inspiration which she had seem to have lost when moving back to Korea. Her attention was completely on the fabric board when she heard the knock on the door and the oh so familiar voice that made her melt. Her eyes widen, quickly averting her gaze from the male when he entered. She acknowledged his presence with a slight nod before pretending to be interested on the color choices.

Sunggyu has been inside the car for a while now, hearing his friends telling details and handling proofs, on the way to their destination. But what worried him is that Bora, that lovely girl who got nothing to do with what they plan to do, can be an annoying obstacle. Her father was one of the politicians involved in some dirty deals, getting paid by the high ones to authorize a law that was simply absurd. Give priority to the ones that pay the highest is something he knows it’s everywhere, but in a hospital, where the ones in worth state would be just left in second plan to just help some money puker?

The man failed on accepting to be rational. Sunggyu tried to do what he usually does before ending the situation in a whole: argument with the man, showed examples of how this was going to be a disaster for not only the less fortunate but for the working class with more propensity to accidents, sent representatives for meetings. The group of politicians already made a decision and is going to have the final meeting to make the law accepted. Sunggyu could see the whole mess and reclamations on the television that this will cause.

She was a few months away from twenty one and she was past listening to her parents. Some called her ungrateful and she would sadly have to agree with them. She would repay them later and she knew she would be able to get them on her side when they saw her that she was happy. She was happy. Isn’t that all that matters?

She was now running late for a party that was being housed by her parents. She had chosen to stay to clean up the mess she had created in her office for a few minutes. A few minutes turn to half an hour which then turned to an hour. She managed to enter her parents’ house without being seen. It took her fifteen minutes to get ready which could be seen as a record time. She made her way down the left staircase, quickly glancing around the foyer. She instantly recognized some of her father’s colleagues and their arrogant wives.
