Fabrics of colours, different shades of materials and lengths and width of needles. Yoon Heejin was able to carry all that swiftly.

She had a project to start as the due date would be in a week, yet she had only bought the new materials this morning.

Yoon Heejin was a Fashion Design student at an elite university. She had straight long hair that was the shade of a very pretty brown, but it was always tied up. Even though she was in one of the best Fashion course, she had always chosen to dress comfortably instead of fashionably.

Fashion could be a bit too heavy, too revealing or even too sharp for everyday wear. She'd love to wear anything pretty, but when she's working; comfortability would be her choice.

She unlocked the door to her shared apartment with her brother, Yoon Jeonghan who was renowned for being a messy cook. Thus, the reason why 'Jeonghan, don't put too much water' sign existed.

"Yoon Jeonghan!" She shouted, annoyed at the fact her brother had attempted to cook something again. "You could've ordered lunch and have them deliver it here, you know?"

Appearing out of his room, Jeonghan had wet hair, indicating he was fresh out the shower. "I saw a recipe online and it looked good. What wrong is it to try a new recipe?"

"That." was what Heejin simply stated as she gestured to the sink that was half full of dirty dishes. Said sink was empty when she went out this morning. "Wash those dishes."

She paid no more attention, hoping that her brother will listen to her and stormed into her room that was surprisingly clean despite having a hectic schedule. She loved cleanliness and everything organized.

She sighed as she put all the items she bought on a large table. Her room was enormous and was placed around the second floor of their apartment. It was white, it could even cosplay as a hospital room, but it seemed modern and contemporary. It had many unique structures to add another accent towards the white walls, a mannequin for her projects and a flat screen television for fun.

Her hands were droopy due to the items being a bit too heavy for her. She had an average height for a 21 year old student. Pretty eyes, pretty smile, pretty pretty pretty was how anyone would have described her.

She sat down on her desk, wanting to finally start her project. She had to submit it before next Monday, and next Monday was less than a week away. She can't be wasting time anymore.

The moment she picked up a pencil, she felt a feeling of boredom washing over her already. No way she would fall asleep this early on the project. She needs to at least finish the sketch before this evening.

And how will she achieve that?

By playing songs that would definitely make you dance.

Instead of doing her work, she had a mini dance party all by herself. From Kpop songs to jazz musicals, anything that played; she moved to the beat.

A loud knock was heard on her white door, "Heejin, slow it down! I'm trying to catch up on Shrek 2 right now."

"That's the fifteenth time you've watched that thing." It's true. From the moment they moved into this house, Jeonghan had been watching that thing on replay. It was as if he had an obsession with Shrek, to the point Heejin had wanted to send him to a mental institution.

"Shut up. Go do your work."

Heejin agreed quietly, she had been dancing for a good hour. No way was she able to sleep now. The adrenaline and the energy after dancing was still there. She'll use that to make a magnificent sketch.










The sound of a car horn boomed somewhere around the apartment. Heejin sat up abruptly, catching herself by surprise. She wiped the saliva that escaped the caverns of her mouth unconciously.

Shit, she had fallen asleep.

What time was it?

11.38pm.

It was already nighttime in Seoul, many people should be asleep at this point yet there were so many noise coming from the city; she hated it. She hated how the city sounds would never let her rest quietly.

She took a glance at the drawing she made on the table. It looked incomplete, unfinished, messy. She grumbled in annoyance. She promised herself to not fall asleep while doing the project. At least finish the sketch today, she said, I won't fall asleep, she said.

All lies, lies to herself.

Her stomach grumbled, indicating how hungry she was. She realized how she didn't eat lunch and dinner. Hungry, she could eat anything.

But since anything was ruined by Jeonghan cooking, she had to go out and find something to eat.

She walked to the lift, and immediately walked to the parking lot. She hopped on her fabulous, majestic motorbike; not forgetting to wear her baby pink helmet that matches with the neon highlights on her bike. The engine revved as she started the motorbike.

"Oh baby, I missed you."

She zoomed out the motorbike garage, exiting the building area. She wandered through the busy city of Seoul where the lights never close, where quiet was never something to be found. She found it comfortable, but not comfortable for her to rest.

A restless city, yet not many shops were open at midnight. There were tteokbokki stores open, but she wasn't feeling it. What could she do?

She saw a convenience store in a quiet-ish place. It seemed perfect to cure her starvation. She could buy so many things and still have it cheap.

Decided, convenience store it was.

The moment she arrived at the parking area, there was a luxurious car parked beside her spot. She understood why any rich people would come to the store at night as it was any person's life saviour.

She went into the shop, helmet in hand. She browsed through the instant food secion, hoping to find something spicy that could cure her cravings as well.

She walked amd suddenly bumped into someone, probably the owner of the luxurious car parked outside. Heejin apologized profusely, until the moment she looked up, "Seungcheol?"
