The Eri Central Building was devoid of employees by noon. The only people that could be seen there were the building's guards, hired decorators, caterers, and planners preparing the cafeteria for tonight's event. It was His Excellence Oh Sehun's birthday.
"What am I going to wear?" Baekhyun rummaged through his closet.
"Do the styles even match?" Tao looked at his clothing options.
"I think a bit of eyeliner would finish the whole look," Luhan assessed.
"Simple yet classy," Kai was satisfied with how he looked.
"Good enough for me," Lay did not put much thought into styling.
"How should I style my hair?" Xiumin was deep in thought.
The six were busy preparing for the party. They were automatically invited as employees at the Central Office. They were having quite a problem with their outfits as the party's dress code was anything formal, unlike their usual business casual when working.
Baekhyun was putting the finishing touches on his outfit when a jewelry box caught his eye. It was the box that houses the ring Chanyeol brought for him.
"Can you please wear this ring every day? Can I ask you of that?" Chanyeol's simple wish echoed inside his mind, giving him a giddy feeling.
Baekhyun took the ring and placed it on his right ring finger. He already made sure that the ring would snugly fit any of his fingers except the thumb.
Baekhyun was silently admiring the ring when a voice outside his room broke his train of thought, "Baekhyun-hyung, are you done? We're coming in!"
As soon as they opened the door, the scent of pine welcomed them, "Your room smells amazing, Baekhyun-hyung."
"It's just the scent diffuser working its wonders," Baekhyun replied.
"And your outfit is amazing. Off to impress someone?" Xiumin wriggled his eyebrows.
"Perhaps," Baekhyun was, technically, telling the truth. "Nothing beats a good first impression."
"I guess everyone is now ready? We need to go. The party starts at six," Luhan reminded.
And off to the party they went. According to Luhan, it was decided during their meeting that the party would be "exclusive", that is only the Central Office employees were invited. When the six arrived, most of their coworkers were already there, so they had to split up as each department had its own designated seat and table.

Meanwhile, the receptionists and the kitchen staff had one table all for themselves.
"Thank goodness we didn't have to cook for tonight," Belle stretched her body.
"Not to mention the dishwashing," Jasmin shuddered.
"Can you even imagine not having fun tonight?" Sheryl shook her head at the thought.
"It's good to take a break every once in a while," Lucy said.
"All work and no play makes us a dull employee," Ruth mentioned.
"The privileges of working in the Central Office," Jay remarked.
"I am going to fill up tonight," Hana declared, already looking at the different food stations.
"You're not the only one, sister," Aiben and Clouie chorused.
