'I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you.'
Coming from a wealthy family was never the major flex in her life. To others, she might come off as a rich spoilt brat but the reality was far from what they perceived her to be.
In a world...

"Sorry, I got a little lost," a soft, steady voice interrupted their thoughts, pulling them back to the present.
Jeonghan quickly stuffed the note into his pocket and then his eyes fell on her and all his anger washed away. The fire extinguished and all remained of him was his soul in awe. Awe of the beauty that stood before him.
In her presence, the world seemed to slow down, the chaos of the room fading into a distant hum. He couldn't tear his gaze away as he took in her appearance, from the confident set of her shoulders to the way the light caught in her hair. She looked stunning, and the boldness of her look left him utterly captivated.
It was as if time rewound for a moment, bringing him back to the first time he had seen her, to that rainy day when she stood before him drenched, wearing his clothes. And just like then, he couldn't help but stare, his heart lost in the wonder of her presence.
Jeonghan's breath caught as Miyeon's gaze swept across the group, a soft smile playing on her lips as she looked at them. She seemed unaware of the tension she had just diffused with her mere presence.
Her earings shimmered under the ever-changing lights, as her attire hugged her form in a way that made her look both powerful and delicate. It was as if she belonged to this world of flashing lights and pounding beats, yet somehow transcended it, untouched by its chaos.
"Did I miss anything important?" she asked lightly, her eyes lingering on Jeonghan for a moment longer than the others a shiver running down her spine making her quickly avert her eyes.
Jeonghan felt a flush of heat rise to his neck, but he masked it with a practiced coolness, "Nothing much," he replied, his voice steady while others still looked a little shaken but were good at covering it, "Just catching up."
She nodded, her gaze flicking to Nari, who was now stuffing the contents of her purse back together with a forced smile. Even if she did not know others too well she knew Nari just well enough to see she was hiding something.
There was something in the air, a tension Miyeon could feel but didn't fully understand. But before she could dwell on it further, Mingyu spoke up,
"We were just talking about how this place has changed since last time," Mingyu said, smoothly deflecting the conversation. He flashed a grin, though it didn't quite reach his eyes a she could see he was trying to divert her attention, "It's... busier than usual, huh?"
Miyeon laughed softly, nodding in agreement, not pushing further, "Yeah, it's packed tonight. I had to push my way a little through just to get here."
Jeonghan couldn't help but notice how her laugh seemed to lighten the mood, if only a little. She had that effect on people-effortlessly easing tension without even trying. It was something he admired about her, even if he found himself feeling confused and uncertain in her presence.
