Author's Notes: Hi, dear readers. This fanfic is a 10-part special that features individual one-shots using Son Ye Jin's latest BAU photos as visuals and inspo. Some of the stories here are longer than the others, and some also end in cliffhangers. I wrote them as quickly as I could, so please forgive the typo errors. I hope you like them! I made the conscious decision to publish them all in one go, but I'm seriously thinking about turning some of them into multi-chaptered fics. Anyway, please let me know which of them tickled your fancy the most. Thank you, as always, for being here. Much love to you all! xx
Special thanks also to biblio_phile100 who got the ball rolling for this, because she sent me so many prompt ideas that I just couldn't resist ^^ Much thanks also to sosseu for proofreading!

PROMPT: Ri Jeong Hyeok is the humble son of a farmer whose land is owned by the powerful family of Yoon Seri.
When the Yoons decide to commercialise the farm, RJH must do everything he can to save his family from eviction, even if it means talking to Seri herself. -
Ri Jeong Hyeok punches his fist against the table in frustration.
Breathing loudly in quick intervals, he trains himself to let the boiling anger inside him simmer down gradually before he addresses the elderly man beside him.
"I'm sorry, father," he says quietly, forcefully closing his eyes. "I'm sorry I couldn't do anything. But this shouldn't have happened. It's not fair."
"It is what it is, son. The land is theirs, they have every right to do with it what they wish," his father replies somberly. The poor farmer taps his hand on Jeong Hyeok's shoulder, giving his son the reassurance that the Ri patriarch can't give himself.
"But they didn't have to be this heartless."
When they had gotten the demolition order from the government, at the request of the Queens Group, the Ri Family had joined every protest staged by the affected farmers, who all now find themselves in danger of being ousted from the land they had been tilling for many years.
But it was all for naught.
While they were promised sustainable compensation as a result of the conversion of the land from agricultural to commercial, the farmers will still have to find new homes and livelihoods.
"I'll make this right, father," Jeong Hyeok promises, facing the elder man with conviction burning in his eyes. "Even if I have to go to Seri herself."
"Yoon Seri was once your childhood friend, but she is part of them," his father reminds him. "You are Heaven and Earth, son. Besides, I hear they call her the iron lady now. I doubt you can get through her. People change, that's just what they do."
