Hyukjae stepped into his office, flopping into his chair with a loud huff. Sora was seated at her desk on the opposite side of the room. She eyed her brother before looking back at the laptop sitting atop her desk.

"Remind me to never let you talk me into working without you," Hyukjae muttered. 

"Oh, how was your week?" Sora asked, closing the laptop.

"I thought if it was a single woman the job would be easy, but the woman couldn't decide on anything! And you know how impatient I am with people," Hyukjae grumbled, glaring at his chuckling sibling.

The woman rolled her eyes. She looked down at her distraught brother, a sad smile tugging at her lips. She remembered the last days without Hyukjae at the Lee's house.
