Author's POV

The week has been jampacked with work for everyone.
- Soojin, Tiffany, and Taeyeon were busy with the company.
- Seohyun and Yoona were busy settling into their new jobs at Blanc Magazine and Model Agency, Korea's top fashion magazine and modeling agency
- Hyoyeon was busy as Red Moon Entertainment's resident choreographer.
- Sunny was also busy as the new Director for Marketing at Lee Group of Hotels
- Donghae attended several meetings as the Chief Operating Officer of Lee Group of Hotels
- Eunhyuk and Sungmin were checking up on the construction of another branch of Club Red
- Heechul was busy training their new recruits at Kim Security Agency
- Ryeowook and the other boys were busy at Red Moon Technologies, especially now that they have been accepted as members of the Red Dal R&D Society

It was finally Friday. Everyone was looking forward to having a good rest during the weekend. Their energies were high as they tackled their work for the day.

Back at Red Moon Entertainment, Soojin was busy signing contracts for the new trainees that were accepted at the company. Taeyeon was busy overseeing their voice lessons at the moment while Tiffany was sorting files for Soojin. They were all focused on their work when they heard a knock on the door. Hyoyeon entered the room with a smile on her faces.

"Good morning sajangnim! I was told by Ms. Kim that you were looking for me. So, here we are." Hyoyeon said in a teasing tone.
Soojin put down her pen and sat back with folded arms. She looked at her with a raised brow and sighed. They just love doing this.
Tiffany giggled at the scene as she continued to sort through the files for Soojin.
"Well, I'm glad that you're here Ms. Kim. I wanted to ask you about the progress of our trainees with regard to the dance classes. Also, I wanted an update as to where you are with the choreography of Mohegan's latest single. Also, may I remind you that you are in my office. Please act accordingly. " Soojin sternly said.
Hyoyeon was taken aback with the Soojin's seriousness. She exuded such intimidating aura that Hyoyeon couldn't help but stand up and bowed to apologize. This was the first time that she encountered such situation with Soojin. Tiffany, on the otherhand, knew Soojin's mischief as she, like Taeyeon, can sense the emotions of those around her.
"Mianheyo. Uh..." Hyoyeon stuttered as she began to answer when Soojin suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hul! Am I really that scary? Hahahahahaha" Soojin began to tear up in laughter. "You should see your face unnie! Wahahahahaha!"
Hyoyeon's face contorted into disbelief as she feel for Soojin's mischief. She went straight to Soojin and gave the girl a headlock and tousled her hair.
"You brat!" Hyoyeon exclaimed as she now pinched Soojin's cheeks. Tiffany just chuckled at the two.
When both were done with their poking and headlocking, Tiffany went to her table to answer the ringing phone.
"Yoboseyo? Uh, Siwon-ssi. Uh.. yes." Tiffany began to blush which didn't go unnoticed by the two.
"Tomato. Hyo-unnie, I see a tomato over there!" Soojin teased which made Tiffany turn more red. Hyoyeon just laughed at her.
"Uh, wait a moment Siwon-ssi. I'll check with her." Tiffany said to Siwon on the line.
Soojin and Hyoyeon were just looking at her with mischievous grins on their faces. Tiffany rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Jin-ah, Siwon's asking if we're going tomorrow. Do you have other things that you need to do for tomorrow?" She asked her dongsaeng.
Soojin's smile widened as she shook her head in reply. "Ani. I've made sure that all of us have no work for tomorrow. I've talked to the other unnies and oppas too. I already asked Young Min-samchon. He agreed, that it is best that you are all there to ensure my safety."
Tiffany couldn't help but chuckle at the young girl. She's got this all planned out already huh?
"Hello, Siwon-ssi. We'll be there. Uh, yes. See you tomorrow. Uh, you too." Tiffany's cheeks turned red again as she ended the call.
"Aigoooooo. Look at your Fany-unnie Soojinnie. You must be overworking her. Her cheeks are as red as tomatoes. Answering calls from hot guys is so hard." Hyoyeon remarked as she laughed out loud.
"Yah!" was all Tiffany could say.
"Mian. I'll make it up to you unnie. Tomorrow, you'll see." Soojin said with mischief in her tone. Tiffany could just shake her head in disbelief. This is what I get for letting her hangout with Hyo and Yoong for too long.


Meanwhile at one of the hotels owned by the Lees, Donghae was waiting at the hotel's five-star restaurant for a potential investor. After a few minutes, the person he was waiting for finally arrived.
"Mr. Lee, I'm so sorry for making you wait for too long." The man said an apologetic smile as they shook hands.
"It's okay Mr. Park. I understand that you still came from another meeting. No need for apologies." Donghae said as they sat down.
"Please, Mr. Park is my dad. Just call me Leeteuk." Donghae smiled as he felt at ease with the man in front of him.
"Well then Leeteuk, please just call me Donghae." He replied.
They began to dig into the food that Donghae has asked the chefs to prepare for him and his guest. They began to discuss business and things are going well for Donghae.
"Well, we've come to a decision then. Mr Lee, Park Industries is glad to invest in the Lee Group of Hotels. I believe that this will be quite beneficial for the both of us." Leeteuk said which made Donghae smile in response.
"That's great news! You've made a great decision Leeteuk-ssi. I'll have my assistant send the contract to your company by Monday." Donghae remarked.
Leeteuk nodded in acknowledgment as he dranked his wine.
"Well, I've heard great things about your company and you. I look forward to working with you. Well, I have to go. I actually have to attend to another meeting. I'll see you around Donghae-ssi." Leeteuk said as they shook hands before he left.

Donghae's POV

That went well. Having Park Industries on our side will surely boost the company's sales. Well, we'll see. Park Leeteuk, I've also heard a lot of things about you. I just hope that I'm not right about the other things.

I was about to call Soojin to check up on her when I saw someone familiar walk into the hotel lobby. Choi Seunghyun entered the hotel with another man. I was about to call him when he beat me to it.

"Oh Donghae! I wasn't expecting to see you here. I mean, here at the lobby. Of course you'd be here. This is your hotel, right? Hahaha." Seunghyun said as he shook hands with Donghae in greeting.
"Soojin's coming over so I decided to wait for her here." I replied as I glanced at the man standing behind him. He must've noticed it and laughed at himself.
"Sorry. Where are my manners. Donghae, this is Minho, my little brother." Seunghyun introduced the man behind him who smiled brightly as we shook hands.
"I've heard about you Donghae-ssi. Nice to finally meet you." Minho said.
"Please, we're all friends here. Just call me hyung." I told him. Minho grinned as he nodded in response.
"Anyway, what brings you here?" I asked them.
"Well, actually, we're here to fetch my girlfriend. I believe she's doing a photoshoot for your hotel." Minho proudly replied.
"Me, on the other hand, I just want to tag along and meet her friends. HAhahahahaha." Seunghyun added.
Minho shook his head in disbelief. I couldn't help but chuckle.
"Wait, photoshoot for the hotel? Who? Suzy? IU? Yeon Seo? Yuri?" I asked with full curiosity.
"Kwon Yuri" Minho answered with a grin.
"Daebak. What a small world." I remarked as Seunghyun chuckled as he placed an arm around his brother.
"Minho learned from the best. He wouldn't be able to snag such a great girl if didn't teach him well." Seunghyun said proudly causing Minho to chuckle.
"Deh. Deh. You're right. Thanks hyung." He sarcastically said.
"Well, why don't we sit down. There's still around 15 minutes before their photoshoot ends. Why don't we have some coffee or drinks while waiting." I offered. They both nodded in agreement. Thus, we sat down, ordered some drinks and our conversation about business and other random things began.

Soon after, we saw Yuri approaching us with a smile on her face. She looked a bit surprised though that I was with the two.
"Oppa, how long have you been waiting?" She said as she hugged her boyfriend who held her dearly.
"Not long. Besides, Seunghyun-hyung and Donghae-hyung kept me company." Minho replied. They were a good-looking couple, I must admit.
"Long time no see TOP-oppa. My friends have already left for another photoshoot. I'm sorry I wasn't able to introduce you to them." Yuri greeted Seunghyun with a short hug.
"Oh man. Well, there's always a next time. Hahaha. Looking good as always Yuri-ah. Yah, Minho, you better step up. You'll look like Yuri's butler if you don't." Seunghyun teased.
"As if.." Minho confidently replied which made everyone chuckle why Yuri patted his back.
"By the way, Donghae-oppa, I didn't know that you're friends with the Chois." Yuri said.
"Well, you didn't tell me you know them either. Hahahahaha." I replied with a grin.
"Small world indeed." Seunghyun remarked.
Yuri sat down with us as she decided to have some tea first before they leave. Our conversation was interrupted when I saw Soojin with Taeyeon and Tiffany enter the lobby.
"Oppa!" Soojin ran towards me and hugged me like she hasn't seen me for years.
"Aigoooo! Jin-ah, you're a CEO now. You can't be seen running around like that." I while she just giggled in response.
"Oh, annyeong TOP-oppa. Nice to see you here." Tiffany greeted him while Taeyeon smiled in agreement.
"Hey girls. I would like you to meet my lil' bro, Minho. We're here to fetch his girlfriend, Yuri." Seunghyun said as he introduced them to the girls.
Soojin extended her hand to the two and greeted them brightly.
"Annyeong Minho-oppa! Yuri-unnie! I'm glad to meet you guys." Minho and Yuri couldn't help but smile at Soojin's bubbliness.
"Nice to meet you guys." Taeyeon and Tiffany said in unison.
"Oh by the way, we'll be seeing you guys tomorrow right?" Seunghyun asked them.
"The housewarming party? Of course oppa! We wouldn't miss it." Soojin grinned.
"Soojinnie here has made sure that everyone has emptied their day for tomorrow." Tiffany added with chuckle.
Soojin smirked with pride "Of course." which made Donghae pinched her cheeks.
Our conversation was interrupted when Minho's phone rang and so he answered it.
"Hyung, noona and the Krys are waiting for us." Minho told Seunghyun.
"They're here already?? When?" Yuri looked surprised.
"I'll tell you about it on the way. Hehehe." Minho replied with a sorry look.
"Well, looks like we have to go guys. We have to meet our cousins. You'll be meeting them tomorrow. It was nice seeing all of you." Seunghyun said as they said their goodbyes.
"See you tomorrow oppas! Yuri-unnie!" Soojin exclaimed.
The three left the hotel leaving the HDCs and Soojin. The young girl couldn't wipe the smile off her face which made her unnies and oppa curious.
"Waeyo? What's with the big smile Jin-ah?" Taeyeon asked as they looked at her for an answer.
"Well, I'm glad we saw them today. Plus, I'm excited about tomorrow. I just have this weird feeling. Tomorrow's going to be great." She answered while her mind seems to have drifted off into a daydream which made the three chuckle into amusement.
"Interesting. I actually feel the same way." Donghae said as his eyes smiled in agreement with his dongsaeng.
Tiffany and Taeyeon exchanged looks and just smiled at each other.
"Aigoooo, you two are so clingy with each other." Taeyeon added.
"Don't be jealous Tae." Donghae teased which just made Taeyeon laugh.
"Chodings. Hahahaha. Anyway, let's go. We can't be late for Yoong's and Seohyunnie's thanksgiving party." Tiffany said.
"Right. Oppa, they got into Blanc. Isn't that the top fashion magazine and modeling agency here?" Soojin asked Donghae.
"Wow. Yeah. Yuri is actually managed by Blanc Models. Daebaaaaaak. What a really small world." Donghae said in amazement.
"Oh wow. Well, we should introduce them to each other tomorrow." Taeyeon uttered.
"That's right. Anyway, I think we should go now. Kaja!" Tiffany said as they all stood up and left the hotel.
