Mr. Lee

"I'm outside, you'll see me at the entrance" Hyejin's voice sounds through the phone as Jaeje navigates her way out the airport.

She had finally decided to move out to South Korea and live with her best friend, but if she was being totally honest, she had no idea where to start.

"Sorry" she mumbles a quick apology as she dodges hitting a man passing by her, considering he doesn't respond he probably didn't hear her and she's grateful for the lack of attention.

Walking out, she spots her friend waving at her and quickly rushes forward to give her a hug.

"Welcome to your home for the next, well, till whenever you're ready to get out of here" Hyejin finishes lamely and walks her towards the car.

"Thanks for the warm welcome" Jaeje mumbles, putting her luggage in the trunk as Hyejin starts the car.

"This will be fun, we can do all the things we always wanted to do.." Hyejin starts to ramble about all the plans they made when they were still in high school and Jaeje half listens, mind focused on the beautiful scene outside the window.

"I can finally pick what you wear to work" Hyejin's voice rings in her head again, snapping her out of her daze.

"Speaking of work, how's the boss?" Jaeje teases, earning a disgusted scrunch from her friend.

"We do not speak of that man" Hyejin says with finality making Jaeje laugh.

"Last I checked, you had dreamed of your CEO love since the 9th grade" Jaeje reminds making Hyejin hiss.

"That was before I made a deal with the devil" she responds, pulling up to the apartment.

"We're here" she says and parks the car.

"So have you found any openings?" Hyejin asks her friend as they unpack her clothing.

"Not in the slightest" her friend replies, deciding to just toss the clothes in the wardrobe.

"How unorganized" Hyejin rolls her eyes.

"Can't I enjoy a few days here before I need to start working? " Jaeje flops down on her bed, wanting to sleep off her jet lag.

"All that means is that I have to pay for this months' rent, I'll tell you if I find anything" Hyejin throws the shirt in her hand in the wardrobe and shuts it close.

"Thank you, I'll take a look around tomorrow and shop for some clothes" Jaeje's voice is muffled from where she has her face buried in a pillow.

Hyejin rolls her eyes and walks out, deciding her friend would be passed out soon enough and heads to get ready for bed herself since she has work tomorrow.

"Where to find a decent shop around here" Jaeje repeated as she walked around the mall the next day.

She hadn't packed much, deciding she would just buy clothes here and save herself the extra luggage, so she was currently going from store to store to find suitable fits.

"Heeseung Hyung, let's just order them online" Sunghoon whined as Heeseung dragged him round the mall. So far they had been going from store to store buying stuff for Heeseung and Sunghoon's arms felt like they were about to fall off.

"No, there is a more satisfying feeling to doing it yourself, and besides who doesn't like to show off a couple credit cards" Heeseung winked, getting the attention of a few college girls who giggled as they passed.

"One day Hyung, just one" Sunghoon sighed, but continued to follow nevertheless.

"Let's go in here" Heeseung ushered them into another shop, placing the bags at the entrance since they couldn't go in with them.

"Why don't we get you something while we're at it" he said to Sunghoon, scanning around for anything his friend could try on.

"Fine, but I know what I want, let's just ask the staff" Sunghoon replied, looking for one of the staff members to attend to them when Heeseung let out a gasp.

"Sunghoon, don't look but look" Heeseung spoke out, grabbing his friend's shirt.

"Huh?!" Sunghoon asked confused.

"That girl over there, she's the one I was talking about at the airport" Heeseung nodded towards the girl who he had somehow come across two days in a row.

"Please don't tell me you're going to try and flirt? the poor girl hasn't been here for a whole 24 hours" Sunghoon warned his friend only to receive a laugh.

"Exactly, who better than Moi to show her around, especially when she looks so lost" Heeseung told his friend and quickly fixed his hair while walking towards the dark skin.

"Hello Ma'am, can I help you?" one of the staffs walked up to Jaeje as she scanned around the shop.

"Oh yes please" the woman showed Jaeje a few clothes and let her try it on to pick which one she liked best.

"Guess faith isn't on your side today my friend" Sunghoon patted his friend's shoulder who just shrugged his hand off and turned away pouting.

"If I go up to her now it wouldn't make sense" Heeseung let out a groan of frustration and went back to looking for new outfits.

"No worries, there's more out there" he reassured himself with a smile and started trying on things with Sunghoon picking out some things for himself.

They were paying for their stuff when Heeseung noticed someone walk in and immediately panicked.

"Shit" he said, trying to hide behind his friend.

"What is it?" Sunghoon asked.

"Yumi, she's right there" he pointed towards a girl who had just walked in and immediately started demanding for an attendant.

"Ooh" Sunghoon winced, recognizing the ex.

"Pay for the clothes, I'll walk round and try to hide" Heeseung put on his designed face mask and started to sneakily walk away, knowing it wouldn't take the girl long to recognize him.

Jaeje was trying to reach for a pair of pants on a top shelf, but she was quickly getting frustrated about only ever brushing the surface of the leggings.

She gave up and was ready to ask for assistance when she felt someone come up behind her and reach up to take down the leggings for her.

She turned around the see the man with a designed face mask as he handed it to her and continued to walk away.

"Thank you!" she exclaimed as the man turned his head around and nodded once in acknowledgement before disappearing from view in a hurry.

"How cliche" Jaeje shakes her head in amusement and walks off to pay.
