Hands entwined, two figures entered the huge factory in one of the capital’s bustling districts. The workers took notice of their entrance and momentarily greeted them before proceeding with their work. The blonde smiled at the subordinates, encouraging them as they passed by. Tiffany, on the other hand, was in awe at the amount of activity the factory was now engrossed with.

 

Someone tugged at her hand and the Hwang was awakened from her trance. “Are you coming?” Jessica asked with a smile playing on her lips. The doctor returned the smile and followed the blonde’s lead. They passed through crates, conveyor belts, and other machinery before they chanced upon a red door. The CEO opened the door and ushered Tiffany inside, leaving the busy hall.

 

It was a small and simple office with minimal decorations. It was far from the posh and well-furnished penthouse office that her cousins had in the Jung Empire’s headquarters. Tiffany watched as Jessica went around the room, looking for something. She spotted a large box from the corner of the room. Jessica walked over to it and opened the box, making the young doctor curious of its contents.

 

“Here’s a sample of our products, Tiff.” Jessica takes out a couple of bags from the box, making Tiffany gape at the designs. They were some of her proposals. The other sets of bags packed in the box were designed by Jessica, Yoona, and even Krystal. Each of the bags that the cousins designed were styled according to their tastes and it was bound to cater to different customers.

 

“Wow! They all come in different designs and suit different seasons!” Tiffany could not contain her excitement as she examined the different styles. Jessica watched her gush over the adorable bag designs in amusement. A sense of pride rushes through the young CEO’s veins as she observes her cousin in adoration.

 

Tiffany turned for a moment, catching her cousin staring at her. Her eyes crinkled into inverted crescents and Jessica found it adorable. “This is amazing, Jessi!” The young doctor strode over to the blonde-haired woman and engulfed Jessica in a bear hug. Tiffany’s vanilla scent invaded the Jung’s olfaction, making her sigh in satisfaction as she returned the embrace. “It is, Tiff. It is.” Jessica pulled away, eyes locking with the Hwang’s dark orbs, a grin plastered on her face. “Tiff, do you know what’s even more amazing?” Tiffany raises her brows before shaking her head. Jessica purses her lips before responding, “I get to spend more time with you.” Tiffany teetered backwards in surprise.

 

“But, Jessi, you might not be able to handle all of this stuff. You have a company to run and projects to discuss. Shouldn’t you leave it to Yoona, Krys, and me?” Tiffany protested, worry evident on her face. Her cousin pouted at her, shaking her head in defiance.

 

“Jes.Ti.Na. is a line invested by the Jung Empire so it is inevitable that I needed to be involved in it.” Jessica explained, “Besides, I literally have my name on that line.” Tiffany chuckled at Jessica’s pun. They both marveled at the designs and wrote some of their inputs on the improvements for the line. The cousins enjoyed their lone moment within the cramped office, laughing and brainstorming ideas.

A red Ferrari V4 motorcycle zigzagged through traffic at an astounding speed, breaking traffic rules and running red lights. A patrol car caught wind of the offender and its sirens blared after the troublemaker, but the rider didn’t mind the chase one bit.

 

Adrenaline coursed through Krystal’s veins as her bike cruised through Seoul’s traffic. “Turn left.” Her GPS guided. With a steer to the left, she maneuvered the two-wheeler into an alley. The police chasing after her couldn’t catch her as her V4 cruised away unscathed. A smirk played on her lips as she headed towards her destination, an underground location where her grandfather’s gift awaited her.

 

Prior to her fast ride through Seoul’s busy streets, her grandfather had presented the sleek Ferrari two-wheeler at HQ’s basement parking.

 

Krystal was more than ecstatic to know that the supposed concept vehicle was turned into a reality thanks to her grandfather. She crushed her grandpa into a tight embrace, making the old man chuckle at her delight over the prized motorcycle.

 

“Now, drive carefully, Soojung. I do not want to see or hear news of you getting in an accident on the streets. And once you’ve gotten to the present, you can ditch this baby and I’ll have my men pick it up for you.” He said as he playfully ruffled the youngest Jung’s hair. Krystal just laughed and then her grandfather remembered the youngest Jung’s penchant for breaking speed regulations. “Oh, and try not to break the rules this time, Baby Jung.”

 

Now, this made Krystal’s smile widen even more. “I’ll try not to, Gramps.”

 

The present will be another addition to her expensive collection of vehicles, most of which were parked in her older sister’s estate. “You have arrived at your destination.” The GPS beeped. Krystal slowed down as she entered the mysterious underground passage beneath an old building. She carefully passed through the dark passages, searching for the vehicle her grandfather had told her about. Lips pursed into a smile when she spotted the glinting car.

 

The youngest Jung carefully parked her V4 beside the glistening beast. Krystal alighted from her bike, removing her black helmet to examine the beautiful metallic beast. Hand touches over the shiny surface, a smile playing on the Jung’s face as she runs it through the vehicle’s length. The coldness of metal seeped through her skin.

 

“You’re a beauty.” Krystal admired as she stood before the hood of the car. The four-wheeled beast was an Audi R8 that shimmered, quite literally. It was unlike any other Audi vehicle given its distinct color. The youngest Jung produced a key remote from her black jacket and used it to unlock the vehicle. Her lips upturned when she opened the door to the driver’s seat. As she made herself comfortable in the ride, she noticed a stick-on note attached to the wheel.

 

My dearest granddaughter,

 

Welcome back to the homeland! I hope you enjoy this golden present and take good care of it. Do not be afraid of the attention that people are giving you. You deserve that because you are just like this golden Audi, a symbol of class, style, and genius.

 

I will always love you, my Baby Jung.

 

~Grandpa

 

Krystal smiled at her grandpa’s letter, tucking the note inside the glove compartment for safe-keeping. She revved up the engine before she manned the vehicle out of the derelict establishment. Her golden car caught up with the traffic in no time and it was a sure head-turner among the other drivers and passengers. A satisfied smile crept up the Jung’s face
