the penthouse

17 | an unexpected action.

it was the next day, and sooyoung was trying to gather all of her things, to head to work. doyoung was waiting for her outside her room, but there was one small problem - she could not find her favourite bracelet.

doyoung was going to wait for her, right ? the bracelet sooyoung was searching for had been extremely important for her. it was the first thing she had bought for herself, since breaking up with that idiot.

it was from her first salary. doyoung promised that he was going to buy it for her, and that she should keep her salary well, but she did not want that. she was planning on showing herself that, if she wanted to, she would. a man like her ex-boyfriend was not worth it.

he never bought her nice things. he always argued that they were useless, and that material things did not bring anything good to a relationship, or to a person's well-being, but sooyoung always saw him with expensive watches and new shoes.

" sooyoung, are you okay over there ? do you want me to call over a maid or something ? " doyoung asked, still not opening the door. he thought that maybe sooyoung was changing, and did not want him walking into her room.

" doyoung, i can not find my bracelet. my cartier love one, the one i bought with my first salary. " sooyoung told doyoung. when she opened the door, doyoung was standing in front of her door, with a concerned expression on his face.

he could tell how serious it was for sooyoung. she never acted in such ways about anything, but this bracelet meant the world for her. if their penthouse burnt down, and sooyoung could only take one item, it would be that bracelet. though, sooyoung would grab more than that.

" could it have fallen behind your nightstand ? i told you to keep it next to your other jewelry, not on your nightstand. " doyoung let out a sigh. he looked for his maids, who were always ready to help them out with anything. " i can call the maids. "

" i need to find it, doyoung. i can not picture my life without it. " sooyoung said. she could feel her tears trying to escape her eyes, even if she knew she should not cry. she had a full face of make-up on, one she had spent hours working on.

" sooyoung, we will find it. i promise you that i will turn this house upside down, for you to find that. " doyoung placed his hand on sooyoung's arm. " but we have to go right now. today, i have an important meeting i can not miss. "

sooyoung then nodded. a few of the maids ran up to them, trying to hear the situation better. they made their way into the room, as they began to search for sooyoung's bracelet. such thing could not be possible, sooyoung needed to have it back.

" i will go and put on my heels. i am sorry for making you wait for so long. " sooyoung said, walking into her closet. she searched for a pair of heels that matched her outft, a simple black dress and tights. " what should i pick ? doyoung, come here ! "

sooyoung yelled for doyoung a few more times. doyoung arrived a few minutes later, crossing his arms over his chest. he was really trying to get to work earlier than usual, to prepare for the meeting, but it seemed like sooyoung was taking forever.

" i have no idea what heels to wear. i have these white ysl ones, the ones with the logo.. and then i have these jimmy choo black pumps. " sooyoung held both of them up, seeing that doyoung was not interested in it. " one day, your wife will ask you the same question. get used to it. "

" i say you wear the white ones, it is a good contrast to your dress. " doyoung replied. immediately after, he looked at his watch and sighed. they really needed to leave right then, " sooyoung. put those on, grab your coat and meet me in front of the elevator. "

" doyoung ! " sooyoung yelled, grabbing him by his wrist. doyoung turned around, as he was immediately met with one of sooyoung's weird smiles. " should i wear a white coat ? i am not feeling like wearing a fur coat, so a trench coat.. "
