Jiyong owns three Lamborghini, a glass apartment in the middle of the especially good neighborhood part of Gangnam. He is young, wealthy and very handsome. On top of that, successful in almost everything he touches. There is nothing to not like about him, except that some may call him snobbish and rather arrogant. Of course, those people were rather ignorant, and he would argue that he is just justifiably confident, as his éclat clearly speaks for itself. Yet there is one thing he isn't as fortunate or poised as he wished to be - relationships.

He mentally curses himself as he starts the engine. As soon as the motor howls and jerks forward, the radio blasts one of those annoying love songs. Oh, he hates love songs. It’s not the first time and won’t be the last time he regrets his choice as he drives the rented Audi. Not a cheap car, but compared to what he is used to a rolling tin can. Yes even though he is fairly aware that the Germans probably have the know-how in building quality cars, this, however, was an older model and the incorporated radio still works with tapes. Tapes! Who for god’s sake still uses tapes nowadays?!
No Bluetooth or USB-connection, nothing that would make it possible to merge his phone with the car, to accept phone calls or even listen to a song from his carefully chosen playlist. And the absolutely worst, no coffee cup holder, so it is safe to say it is his absolute worst trip in a while to an already awful day

Another song, this time a break-up song with lots of heart clutching and ear ringing high notes. He turns off the radio in a flash to end the torture, and glances curiously at the hotel. It’s rather late, he assumes as the paparazzi have already moved on to the next venue, in the vague hope to catch some celebs dating. Yet there are still some guests, purposely lingering around.
How he ended up here? Just hours ago he has vehemently refused to come - but now he is searching for a parking slot. He remembers very vividly, because this argument has ended, as many others before, in a broken vase, shredded papers, and fake tears. Oh by now he could tell, but he still feels guilty as it doesn’t make him any less weak to it. Yet he has made a point despite the fuzz she was making that he wouldn’t go. What has changed his mind? Her, of course.
The dress she wears today looks absolutely stunning on her, almost a little too for his taste. As it emphasizes not just her tiny waist but also her well-developed curves. It shouldn’t be legal to walk around looking this alluring. Naturally, as his girlfriend is a model and took breaths away in everything, but especially in nothing. At least his breath always got caught.
But he has already cheaply excused himself to not feel well enough to pretend, not with the load of work he has to do. It sounds at least halfway true but he knows it’s a pretty lie. Even if he tries to persuade himself he knows it has been his plan all along. A petty, unfair, and granted also absolutely stupid plan to test his girlfriend’s faith. Being fully aware how much evenings like these mean to her and how badly it could backfire on him. But he has his reasons and it isn’t like he has forbidden her to go. No, she voluntarily promised him she wouldn't go either. Yet here he is; eyes following her into the building. Except he couldn't openly go after her, as he doesn’t want to risk to get caught by her just yet.

He doesn’t need a plan or luck to get inside, but he decides to not take the risk and use the staff way in. All it takes is a phone call to Seungri. Chances are that the catering service present is his. Even if the odds were against him, Seungri would know, and sure enough, be befriend with someone who could do the impossible. The only problem with calling that annoying little is having to deal with the endless teasing and even more frustrating possible following ambiguous remarks. About the iness of waitress uniforms and his body, afterward. Words he certainly never wants to hear in context. Especially those ridiculous looking uniforms, which were not just uncomfortable and itchy, but also have those silly but cute panda icons on them. His dignity might have been on vacation this week, but this is another kind of low he will never let himself reach!
This leaves him with no other choice than to pretend, also not very difficult for someone with his look and his charm. All it needs is a confident smile and a playful wink to convince one of the new part-timers to leave her tablet in his care.

The light is dim, but even if it isn't, most people don't spare a second glance at the workers. Gatherings like these only have one purpose, to meet others and brag about life. Occasionally some shallow business talk here and there, as these are great opportunities to make new connecti
