Problems

Rays of light scattered into her office as she sat down, her eyes immediately noticed two separate bouquets of flowers on her table; one containing blueish-purple hydrangeas and the other containing pink lilies. Both type of flowers had been fighting to be her favourite since she was a mere teen. She glanced over at the two seperate cards placed on the bouquets, she picked one up — it was made out pink hard paper, her eyes drifted down to the signature on it. Park Sung-hoon. It was odd, but nevertheless, it was cute. She sat down on her chair, crossing her legs infront of her before starting to read the card;

"I thought I'd give you something to get your mind off Yu-jin. Hope you enjoy the flowers 

- Sung-hoon"

She chuckled placing the card down on the bouquet of lilies which he had gifted her. She picked up the second card — once again, her eyes drifted down towards the signature before the text written. Ahn Yu-jin. She let out a soft gasp; had Hyun-seo already told her to do something or no? She thought as she started to read the text;

"Sorry for the past few weeks. I know these hydrangeas won't make up for it. So, can i take you out on a date?" 

She turned a bit red as she placed the card down, she didn't understand why her cheeks heated up, but she was not going to question it. That was before her door sprung open, two almost equally tall figures stood at the doorframe. Both dressed professionally. Both staring her down. 

"Hi?" 

She eyed them suspiciously, wanting a clear explanation on why both the people who gifted her flowers appeared at her door. The both of them had work, but here they were, infront of her open opaque glass door — it were as if they desired something from her. She felt off about the entire situation; one of them had previously been jealous of the other as she suspected her to be cheating on her with him. Even if she apologised with flowers, she knew she would be on edge when she was around him. The other had overwhelming sense of protection over her. She had an overwhelming gut feeling that they were going to end up having a disagreement or a dispute. 

"Can i take you out for lunch?" 

The lad enthusiasticlly asked. She was was about to reject his offer as she had already promised Hyun-seo to have lunch with her, but then the lass spoke up.

"Excuse me? That's my damn fiancée, i will be the one taking her out on a date!" 

There was a tint of enrage in her voice, it was much different than the one she heard during their quarrels — this one, definitely had a tinge of jealousy. Once again, she was about to speak up when they decided to continue their pointless altercation. She had also chosen to take that as a date, when it was going to be a friendly lunch.

"Well, even if she is your fiancée, you don't treat her as such!"

 She gasped, being at aloss for words. She knew that was true. Halfway, not fully. She was going to try to defend Yu-jin — it was not because she was arranged with her, she was not that biased, she just wanted to help her in a sort of way; she felt an urge to and she couldn't explain why. But, alas, her brain was absolute mush at the moment, and would not be any use, if she decided to speak up. Besides Yu-jin spoke up way before her;

"I do! How would you know-?"

 She was cut off by her clearing her throat, she was done with their bickering; she didn't want the argument to get out of hand and for them to be arguing in front of her face; she knew later on, they would make her choose sides and she didn't fancy doing so. Furthermore, they were arguing in her office when her employees were present — her office was a ground to be professional in and to display your upmost manners and respect — arguing didn't fall into those lines. She is also an extremely prodigious person when it comes to upholding manners, respect and equality. It was one of her characteristics that fueled her prosperous image, she was not going to let that go down the drain by excusing them as one was her friend and the other was her wife-to-be — she had to remain professional and not show any favouritism towards anyone.

"I will be having lunch with Hyun-seo. So if you must argue, please leave."

 She said in a stern tone, trying to remain professional. The two nodded in response as they started to make their way out of her office. Before the lass stopped midway, looking back at her with a hopeful look.

"Wait, can i join? She is my younger sister, after all!" Yu-jin asked
