Icy Rose | HIATUS |

Ha Ri walked down the hallway of her company's building on the 7th floor and headed to the elevators.

Another newbie? Seriously. I'm going to need to talk to pres about this, she thought while walking.

This was the 5th time a new wannabe model was joined her company and she was tired of going to the lobby just to some stranger. Some had a chance on making it big while others didn't, but she didn't really care.

She sighed and pressed the elevator button to go down and immediately one of the doors were opened. She got in with the group of people already inside from the higher floors and ignored their stares.

Her image as a rose isn't only on just for show. It's real.

The elevator door opened at the 5th floor and the people waiting was greeted by an unhappy Ha Ri. She didn't like wasting her time for something so useless. She has a busy schedule that needs to be completed and this assembly isn't helping.

The elevator stopped at the 3rd and 2nd floor before finally reaching the 1st floor and they filed out after Ha Ri.

They all made their way to the auditoriom and looked for places to sit while Ha Ri went to the back of stage to look for the president of her company. He might be the company's president , but Ha Ri was able to control his decisions.

If she quits, then he has a high chance of becoming bankrupt so the CEO is technically scare of Ha Ri.

Ha Ri silently made her way to the back of the stage and looked for "her boss" which wasn't that hard since there were only a few people there. Ha Ri quietly approached him which suprised him.

She motioned him to follow her and they went out one of the doors to have a private conversation.

"Ahjussi, what have I told you about letting too many newbies in to your company?" Ha Ri started off. This wasn't the first she had to talk with him about this situation.

"Jwesonghamnida Ha Ri. I promise this will be the last one. This one is definetely cut out for the job," he apologized for probably the 40th time during the year and this is only for letting newcomers in.

"You know your consequences," she stated. But before she could leave and waste her time on the newcomer a voice yelled, "Mr. President?!"

An unfamiliar voice to Ha Ri.

This must be the newcomer, she thought and smirked for a second before going back to her poker face.

A young boy that appears to be slightly older than her by a year or two came into view. Ha Ri silently analyzed him. His hair was dyed chestnut blonde, his outfit consisted of a blazer on top of a funky white t-shirt with skinny jeans and converses.

Did he dress himself? Ha Ri whispered to the president so the approaching boy won't hear her.

He responded with a nod.

At least he doesn't look like crap like the other newbies, she noted giving him a mental clap.

"Mr. President … oh! Ms. Ha Ri sunbae," he said and bowed to them.

"Ah! Let me introduce you to Lu Han. He will be known as Luhan though," the president introduced Luhan to Ha Ri.

Luhan offered his hand to Ha Ri so they could shake, but didn't receive so, making him embarrassed.

She's actually an ice princess alright, Luhan thought.

"Do you think I'm fake or something?" Ha Ri said to Luhan who was suprised at the sudden question and didn't answer immediately.

"Answer my question," she snapped obviously annoyed.

"N-no," Luhan stuttered which was responded with an arched eyebrow from Ha Ri.

"Really…? Then explain what you mean that I'm actually an ice princess," she questioned obviously knowing what he meant.

"I-I thought t-the ice p-princess c-concept was j-just p-part of y-your image," he stuttered, scared of what she would do to him if he lied.

"So you think I'm fake?" Ha Ri questioned again.

"Not really…?" he answered though it sounded more like a question.

The president felt the atmosphere tensing up more and who knows what can happen when Ha Ri is involved.

"Let's get going Lu Han. The introduction will begin soon. You too Ha Ri, go back to the auditorium," he said and pulled Luhan away.

"I'll be having lunch/meeting since I've already met this," she said motioning to Lu Han when she said this and left.

"Is she always like this…?" Luhan asked the president.

The CEO sighed and nodded, "Yeah." They made their way on stage once they entered since they lost time.

The minute Luhan came into view, all the female employees and some gay guys started gushing at him. This fairly rare since this always happened to the newcomers and vice versa if the newcomer is a girl, but he made more commotion than the past ones, excluding Ha Ri of course. She's still "Number 1 Model", "Ultimate Model", "THE Top Model", "Best Ulzzang", etc. and these were only a few of the awards and titles she has gained since her debut.

Meanwhile, Ha Ri had just gotten her coat and purse from her office/dressing room and was getting into the empty elevator. She clicked the Lobby button that had  on it then pressing the button to close the door. She arrived faster than usual since everyone except her, the guards, and receptionists were at the introduction.

The receptionists and guards bowed when Ha Ri came out of the elevator and in to their view.

Like always, Ha Ri ignored them and walked out of the center revolving door. The warm wind blew her light golden brown hair in the air just like she was at a photoshoot. People walking stopped and stared at the internation celebrity. Who wouldn't?

She was naturally gorgeous with her big sapphire and grey eyes, double eye lids, thick eye lid crease, perfectly arched eyebrows, high bridged nose, small and pink lips, pearly white teeth, perfect V-line, slim figure that never changed, and flawless white skin.

She was born to be on top. That was obvious.

Her heels clicked while she walked with charisma down the street to another street and another, turning here and there. As she walked she texted the person she was having a meeting with.

To: Park Cha Hun

From: Jung Ha Ri

Let's meet up at the KFC at Changsin-dong. Be there in 10-15 minutes.

As she was about to put her phone back in her purse, it dinged and the screen lit, notifying her that she got a text.

She slid her index finger across the screen, entered her PIN and checked her text.

To: Jung Ha Ri

From: Park Cha Hun

Unnie, I'll be there in 15 minutes. If you get there first order the Double Down, a latte, and cheese fries, k? 

Tto bwayo (See you soon)!

After she read the reply, she shook her head and put her phone back into her purse, continuing to walk to the meet up location.

She's a model. And not those people that eat and don't gain weight. Cha Hun you should workout later, Ha Ri thought.

Ha Ri arrived at the KFC in less time than she said she would and all eyes were on her. Even the music seemed to stop. Like always, she ignored them and walked straight to counter, skipping the people in line. No one dared to complain.

"Annyeonghaseyo, what would you like?" the employee behind the counter asked.

"The tender strips, hot chocolate, and cassava chips for me. A double down, latte, and cheese fries for my companion. Sizes are all medium," Ha Ri said in an icy tone like always.

"Would you like us to bring the food to you?" the girl offered, trying to get on Ha Ri's good side if she had one.

Ha Ri intimidately stared at her and asked, "Do I have to pay extra?" with a raised eyebrow.

"Aniya," the now completely scared employee answered without stuttering.

"Then bring it to my table," Ha Ri said, pleased with the service already.

"What table?" the girl asked.

Ha Ri didn't bother looking and just said, "Seven."

The girl looked at Table 7 and tried contacting the person sitting there to get a different seat. Thankfully the person understood it and knew that Ha Ri was going to sit there and immediately carried his tray to a different table.

Another employee quickly rushed to clean the table, chairs, floor around it, and even sprayed the air with some air freshner. .

Celebrities came to their KFC every now and then, but never Ha Ri and they tried their best to please her. One thing that Ha Ri could find unplease would be the end of them or even KFC in general.

Ha Ri looked at the price on the cash register screen and paid knowing that the employee forgot. Embarrassed, the employee looked  down with a slight blush on her cheeks. She slowly took the money and gave the change to Ha Ri.

"P-please take a seat at t-table 7 and wait for us to b-bring you your f-food," the girl employee slightly stuttered, making her even more embarrassed than before.

Ha Ri walked to table 7 and sat down on one of the seats and waited for Cha Hun to arrive. She removed her coat and placed her purse behind her, revealing her professional, but simple outfit: a black blouse, black skinny jeans, and beige heels.

After 3 minutes, the door opened and in came Cha Hun. Cha Hun instantly took notice of the silence and knew that Ha Ri was already there.

Let me guess, she's sitting at table 7? Cha Hun thought.

She looked for the table and found her friend there, looking down at her phone.

Cha Hun made her way to Ha Ri and sat down on the seat across from her, making Ha Ri look up from her phone.

"You finally arrived," Ha Ri said with sarcasm.

"I didn't take that long," Cha Hun replied.

A tray interrupted their conversation.

"Your meal," the 'waitress' said, placing Ha Ri's in front of her and headed back to the counter to get Cha Hun's.

"And  your's," she finished and bowed. But before she could take a step, Ha Ri complained.

"Do you have any matters?" Ha Ri snapped at the slightly confused, but more frightened waitress.

The waitress didn't dare say a word. Ha Ri couldn't care less if people didn't reply anymore and just continued.

"First of all, you say 'Excuse me' when you're going to interrupt someone. After you have given the meal you say, 'Enjoy your meal', despite how annoying it is, then bow and leave," Ha Ri told the waitress.

"Mianhae," the waitress apologized.

"I'm not your friend. Have some respect," Ha Ri snapped, taking notice of the informality.

"Jwesonghamnida," she apologized again.

"Better. If I ever meet your parents, I'll be sure to tell them about what a rude child they raised," Ha Ri threatened.

"Y-you know my parents?" the girl dare questioned.

Ha Ri just stared at the girl giving her the 'Are you serious?' face.

"E-enjoy your meal!" the waitress said and rushed off.

"People these days need to learn how to respect others," Ha Ri muttered only loud enough for Cha Hun to hear.

"Yah, take pity on the poor girl. You don't have to be so stiff," Cha Hun whispered to her, biting in to her burger.

"Then you start eating healthy and try to stay fit. Do you know how many calories are in each of those? Don't complain to me when you have to diet," Ha Ri retorted.

"Okay, okay. Aish," Cha Hun said, taking a sip of her latte.

Ha Ri had gotten up and "asked" if she could get a fork and knife and without question, the employee gave her what she wanted.

She returned to the table and started cutting her chicken and used the fork to put each piece into . After eating one piece of a chicken tender she sipped her hot chocolate and ate a few pieces of her chips with a napkin.

No one questioned her on her interesting ways, instead, people silently changed their ways of eating their food and started eating it the same with Ha Ri was.

Ha Ri knew this was going to be trending soon, but she still ignored it. Whatever she did would end up trending. She could feel the flashes from outside where the paparazzi were standing, snapping pictures.

The two girls didn't want to start any rumors, despite the fact that no one would dare, they still kept silence until they finished their meal. Ha Ri called for a waiter/waitress, not the same one from before the meal, however, and asked the waiter to clean up their table.

Ha Ri gave the boy a decent tip and they left with Cha Hun following behind. The paparazzi also followed the girls as they walked slowly on the streets of Seoul. The other model let out a tiny burp that hardly anyone can hear, except Ha Ri.

"Yah! You're a lady so act like one!" Ha Ri scolded Cha Hun.

"Mianhae, unnie. Where should we go now?" Cha Hun casually apologized.

"Yah! You need to learn to respect others too," Ha Ri scolded once again.

"Whatever. Where are we going now?" Cha Hun asked again.

"Where do you want to go?" Ha Ri questioned back.

"Hmm…how about…Paris, France?" Cha Hun joked, not earning a laugh from Ha Ri.

"Yah! At least laugh for once! I haven't heard it in awhile. Pleaseee," Cha Hun whined since Ha Ri never laughed at her jokes.

"Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha," Ha Ri faked laugh sarcastically. She could have cared less.

Why does this even matter? She heard me laugh multiples times before, Ha Ri mentally sighed.

"Fine, let's go to your place," Cha Hun decided after awhile. Ha Ri's place is the closest thing to Paris in South Korea. They turned to a corner in the street and quickly ran so they would lose the paparazzi. Thankfully they were fast runners, even in heels, so they were able to go pretty far, but the paparazzi could still make out the celebrities and chased after them. As they ran they turned left, right, curved, etc.

"Unnie! What do we do?!" Cha Hun asked while they were running. Ha Ri looked around and saw that there were those emergency stairs on a building coming into view. Ha Ri checked to see if the paparazzi had turned the corner yet and thanks to the camera he was holding, he wasn't as fast. She made eye contact with Cha Hun so the girl would know what to do.

Cha Hun understood the plan and motioned Ha Ri to take off her shoes so they won't make any noise in case the paparazzi turned into the corner and Ha Ri did as she was told, the rare times she would listen to anyone.

They were soon close to the stairs and jumped onto the lowest one and started walking/running/flying up the stairs. Quickly they were near on a floor and the person who lived closest to the stairs had lots of curtains, plants, etc. making it easy for the girls to hide.

They jumped off the stairs and into the balcony and hid behind the plants.

"Phew, unnie. That was close," Cha Hun let out the breath she was holding and started catching back her breath while Ha Ri peeked behind the plants to see if the paparazzi had lost track of them.

"Yup, that should have burned all that fat you just consumed earlier," Ha Ri agreed.

"Stop teasing me," Cha Hun pouted.

Ha Ri cocked an eyebrow as in to say, "What?"

Cha Hun just gaped at her in a somewhat furious way.

"Do you want to go still or shall we call it a day?" Ha Ri asked after they rested for a few minutes.

"Let's go!" Cha Hun exclaimed without hesitation. It has been awhile since Cha Hun last stepped in Ha Ri's house and by awhile I mean years.

The two girls silently walked back to the location before the chase, checking to see if there were any paparazzi following them and such. They had visited a shop near their hiding place and bought some things for a disguise and both looked gorgeous, but Ha Ri always tend to shine brighter than the others.

Ha Ri wore a white beanie, a plain white shirt with a cream colored cardigan on top, gray/grey jeans, sparkly flats, and a wig that she carries around in her bag. 

Cha Hun was wearing a black long-sleeved funky shirt, a skirt with skeleton tights, a pair of dark navy blue wedges, and a wig that she also carried around in her bag.

Both girls decided to buy duffel bags to place their things inside and continued their way. They took public transportation which wasn't very entertaining and arrived at Ha Ri's house which isn't as big as you expect it to be despite the fact that she's a trillionare.

Ha Ri enjoyed challenges and she doesn't like doing her own things so she doesn't leave her company. In fact, she's quite attached to it and doesn't want to leave at all. It has become like her second home.

They took off their shoes and stepped in the average size house after Ha Ri typed in the long code and did a DNA check along with a physical appearance scan before the door finally opened, letting the 2 in.

The process might seem long and tiring, but actually it went by quickly since Ha Ri has the latest technology that even the people from SAMSUNG and Apple have yet to “discover it” and they are far from there. It wasn't so big, but it wasn't cramped either. It was enough for someone like Ha Ri, despite her snobby-like personality.

Cha Hun plopped down on the couch in the living room and switched on the TV. To her suprise, it wasn't regular television channels like she had. Actually, it was far from what normal people would watch.

"AHHHHHHHH! Yah! What is this?" Cha Hun screamed.

Ha Ri popped her head out from her bedroom door, giving Cha Hun a confused look even though she knew perfectly well of what she meant.

Cha Hun noticed the confused look and knew Ha Ri was just acting, but she decided to play along and pointed her finger at the television screen, uttering a "That".

"Hm? What about 'that'?" Ha Ri replied.

"Why do you watch these documentaries still?! Do you not see how disgusting these are?!" Cha Hun asked.

"Because they're good for you and they're not disgusting, they're educational," Ha Ri stated.

"Hmph. Educational my ," Cha Hun muttered.

"You do know that along with my high IQ, perfect eye power, sharp nose, and sharp taste buds I also have very good hearing?" Ha Ri rhetorically asked.

"You don't have to rub it in," Cha Hun pouted, making Ha Ri sigh, leaving Cha Hun with the television. Ha Ri could have cared less and she wasn't rubbing it in. She was just stating the facts and Cha Hun obviously and was just being a drama queen.

The bored and creeped out guest walked in to Ha Ri's room and sat on her bed.

"Whatcha doin'?" Cha Hun asked, slightly tilting her head.

"Researching another rookie," Ha Ri sighed, shaking her head.

"Is it a girl or boy this time?" Cha Hun asked, but Ha Ri knew Cha Hun only asked because she was hoping it was a boy. The girl hasn't found a good man in awhile.

"Boy. Around our age. Chinese, but can speak fluent Korean," Ha Ri told her as much as she knew, but still kept it broad.

Cha Hun ears perked up as she heard the words 'boy' and 'around our age' coming out of Ha Ri's mouth.

"Now shoo, Cha Hun. I'll tell you if he's worth going out with," I informed her.

"Gomawo, Ha Ri!" Cha Hun thanked and hugged Ha Ri before leaving the room and going off to the bathroom since she needed to pee badly.

"Manners! And make sure to flush and keep it dry, neat, and tidy after you leave. If it smells like then you're dead!" Ha Ri yelled after Cha Hun and went back to researching Lu Han.

You may be thinking that Ha Ri won't find much searching through the internet, but let me remind you that Ha Ri is a trillionare and also a international figure. And she uses her power to her advantage.

Her computer is a specially made super-protected, malware and hacker-detectable, super fast and efficient, and the quality is good along with the fact that it's better for her eyes and skin. Her computer lets her access government files and documents from multiple countries. She's able to view birth certificates to passport of each human born in those countries along with viewing their internet history and such.

She typed in 루한 and clicked on the files and links that showed his personal information (address, phone number, bank account, social media info, etc.) along with his texting history and social media messages and posts.

Hmm…? Ige mwojyo?! Ha Ri thought as she saw an interesting preview of the file and clicked it.

File Sample:

XX.X.X

Lu Han: What do you want?

Mr. Nam: Get in the agency I told you about.

Lu Han: How much are we talking about here?

Mr. Nam: ₩ 1667025

Lu Han: Hmmm.... deal. Only if you pay me extra after I complete it.

XX.X.XX

Mr. Nam: Did you make it in?

Lu Han: Yes. I got in.

Mr. Nam: Let's begin the plan. Meet me @ Chuwang Peak, Jiri Mountain

Be there by 9:30 AM XX.X.XX

Lu Han: Ne. Don't 4get the money or the deal is off

images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRs670xCzOnE1qgbnVJkcQ 

"Yah! Are you done yet?!" Cha Hun bursted into Ha Ri's room just as Ha Ri shut down her computer.

"Ne. I'll show you a picture of him tomorrow or whatever and you can pick if you want him or not," Ha Ri informed her.

Cha Hun checked the time on her watch, 4:52 PM.

"Omo! I have to go now! Annyeong, Ha Ri!" Cha Hun exclaimed and rushed to grab her belongings.

"Whatever. Try not to get stalked! And make sure to shut and lock the doors. I don't want strangers coming into my house," Ha Ri hollered at Cha Hun when she opened the door. However, that was completely useless since Ha Ri has a bunch of secret mini web-cams and security cameras, some barely visable, installed outside the house and inside as well. Her door is also made of heavy steel and is only opened with 

"'Kay! Annyeong!" Cha Hun hollered back and left, shutting and locking the doors.

Good luck succeeding in your 'secret plan', Ha Ri mentally smirked.

A/N: Hi! Hope you like this first chapter! I know this is pretty long (3700+ words with 16000+ characters). Hope this chapter isn't too bad. I will try to make this fanfic as interesting as possible. I'm sorry if this is similar to anyone else's story line. This is 100% my own idea which I probably thought of in the shower xD I'm not sure how long futures chpaters will be, but I won't guarantee ones as long as this one. And you might have noticed that the publishing date or whatever is back in September. Well, I've been waiting for my poster to be done and it's been like 200  years. It's almost December and I hope to publish this by the new year. If you have read my previous fanfics, you might have noticed that I usually have the actual characters then the romanized version then the translation, but I decided to make my life easier and just go with the romanized. Sorry for making your lifes harder but I'm trying to make space for a life.

Happy reading! If this is boring you can always read this to help you sleep. Makes me happy that my writing can help!
