What Goes Around

Byun Baekhyun closed his eyes and counted backwards from ten to one as he heard his friend sigh. He exhaled and continued to fix the racks of clothes that he was preparing for Paris Fall/Winter Fashion Week. Although he is one of the most trendy and well known young fashion designers of this generation, his label has yet to set foot on the prestigious PFW stage. He already did shows for New York, London, and Milan, and a show on Paris when he was creative director at Gucci, but this is the first Paris Fashion Week show of his label, so he is making sure that he doesn't miss anything. 

Another sigh. 

"Can you stop that?" He glared at his friend who was sitting on one of the stools in his workroom. 

"I don't know what I'm supposed to do, Baekie." Kim Miyeon sighed. "I think I like him." 

"Okay, first of all. Context." Baekhyun gave Miyeon a pointed look. 

Miyeon placed her arm crossed on Baekhyun's table and groaned. "I think I like CEO Kim!" 

"CEO Kim? Your boss?" 

"Yeah. He's just so nice and kind to me, and he's very intelligent. He's not even thirty but he can put all those much experienced executive to shame," Miyeon looked dreamily. "It doesn't hurt that he's handsome too."

"That is really not good." Baekhyun nodded. "He's your boss, Yeonie. That is considered inappropriate." 

"It's not even the biggest problem." Miyeon frowned. "CEO Kim, Minseok, he's- he's Eunhee's brother." 

Baekhyun stopped perusing the dresses. "Eunhee? Kim Eunhee? Our Eunhee?" 

Miyeon nodded. Baekhyun recalled that night when they went to 'Decades', the night that they saw Eunhee again. He was too drunk that time, but he can vaguely remember that Eunhee was there because of her brother. "You mean, you're working for Eunhee's brother? How did he even become Eunhee's brother? It doesn't make sense." 

"Minseok told me that Kang Jieun was just a surrogate who was carrying his parents' child." Miyeon exhaled. "I wish Channie was here." 

Out of all of Junmyeon's friends, Miyeon only became close to Baekhyun and Chanyeol. After Eunhee left, Junmyeon became a bit distant to her. He still was a good brother, but their relationship is not as good as Miyeon wanted it to be. Jongin hates her for causing Eunhee to flee Seoul. Kyungsoo is just civil towards her. Sehun, he never really acknowledged her existence. Baekhyun and Chanyeol were the only ones who gave her the chance to be their friend. They became closer in college when they all attended the same university. Even now, she considers them her best friends, and they do to. She is always one of the first people who would hear Chanyeol's demos, and Baekhyun even makes her an inspiration for his designs. Miyeon is thankful to have them, they became her rock in her difficult times. Especially after Appa was arrested, and Eomma got sick. 

"And I wish I can be of more help." Baekhyun said sympathetically as he gave Miyeon a hug. "But you really are in a difficult situation. You think Eunhee would ever forgive you for what you did to her?" 

Miyeon put her head down. "I don't know. It wasn't really my intention. I never thought that Appa and Eomma would kick her out, and I never thought she'd leave Seoul." 

If Kim Miyeon had any regrets in her life, it was that afternoon. That afternoon when Eunhee left. She never really wanted it to escalate that badly, she just wanted to get the truth about the cheating situation out of Eunhee. After that day, Eomma and Appa always fought. They blamed each other for making Eunhee leave. It was so bad that they almost separated. Eomma would cry every night, Appa became obsessed in finding Eunhee to the point that he sold the buildings that they own just to pay the private investigator. Junmyeon was silent, but she knows that there was a part of him that resents her. Eunhee was his sister. She is the one who he grew up with. That time, Miyeon was just a stranger who took his sister away from him. He was just too kind that's why he didn't say anything. And Miyeon understands him. 

She knows her place in the family. She never wanted to replace Eunhee, she is the first daughter of the Kims. She is just there because it just so happens that the blood on her veins is the same as theirs. She just wanted a complete family. 

Someone knocked at the door of Baekhyun's workroom. "Mr. Byun?" 

"Hey, Seulgi. What's up?" Baekhyun asked his assistant. 

"Your three p.m. is already here: Ms. Kim Chanmi." 

"Perfect! I always wanted to meet her." Baekhyun clapped his hands in delight. 

"Isn't she the person who ordered almost all of your designs?" asked Miyeon. 

"She didn't order almost all, Yeonie. She did order all." Baekhyun said smugly. "And your timing is perfect. I can introduce you two. I'm sure that she would like to meet the muse of most of my work. Come on." 

The two friends walked to the exclusive showroom where Kim Chanmi is. When they got there, a petite girl was typing something in her tablet. She was not alone, and her companion was already browsing through the racks. Her back was facing him, so Baekhyun can't see her face. She has great style though, Baekhyun thought as he scrutinized what she was wearing. 

"Ms. Kim Chanmi?" Baekhyun asked. 

"Ah, Mr. Byun!" Chanmi exclaimed excitedly. 

"It's a pleasure to finally meet one of my best patrons!" He said. 

"Err... about that~" Chanmi said unsurely. "I'm actually not your patron. I just order it for my boss." 

"Oh. And your boss~" Baekhyun already had a feeling that it is the girl whose back was facing him. 

"Let me introduce you, VP Emily Kim." 

"Hi, Baek oppa~" Kim Eunhee said as she turned around, she froze though as soon as she saw who was behind Baekhyun. "Miyeon. You're here." She said with a curt smile. 

"Hi, VP Kim." Miyeon bowed. She didn't really know how to interact with Eunhee. Should she address her as Eunhee? That's not proper though, considering that she is one of the big bosses of where she is working in. So, Miyeon decided to just call her VP Kim. 

"Eunhee-yah!" Baekhyun moved to hug the girl to ease the tension. "It's great to see you again! Sit down, sit down." 

"Great to see you too, Oppa." Eunhee sat down beside Chanmi on the couch. While Baekhyun took one of the chairs opposite them. Miyeon stood awkwardly behind Baekhyun, unsure of what to do. 

Baekhyun looked at his friend and instantly felt bad. All these years must have been difficult for her, carrying the guilt after what she did to Eunhee. Of course, he was furious at her at first. But then he realized that Miyeon is not a bad person, she just made one bad choice. She was a dear friend and sister to him. And although he is glad that Eunhee is back, he is not just going to abandon Miyeon. "Miyeon will join us, if you don't mind? She is one of my muses and I also consult with her on the designs because of her expertise in arts." 

"It's okay, I don't mind." Eunhee said as she sipped on the hot chocolate served in front of her. 

"So, what can I do for you Eunhee?" Baekhyun smiled. 

"Actually, I came here because I know that you are the only one who can help me on this." Eunhee started. "Daesan Financial's seventy-fifth year anniversary celebration is a few days away, and I was just wondering if you have something in your collection that I could use." 

"You came at the right place, my dear Eunhee." Baekhyun beamed. "I actually have a few new dresses that I have been saving for Paris Fashion Week. But
