Ga In stood in the morning light, her scarf around her neck pulled up against the chilly breeze.  

The building she marvelled at was as grey as the pavement below and the sky above, appearing as impermanent as the clouds, as though it would vanish into air without notice. The only prominent feature was the silver sign beside the entrance door that read "Bangtan Incorporated"

" Best in the business right? Let's do this" Ga In whispered under her breath as she walked in. Her first official job interview. 

The position she applied for was secretary to one of the CEOs. Min Yoongi. Rumor has it none of his secretaries lasted more than three months. A no nonsense up tight genius, Ga In felt that they would work well together.

" You have the qualifications to be Ceo" Yoongi pressed. 

" Too much work" Ga In answered.
