the penthouse

20 | first meeting.

sooyoung could not even keep up with the amount of tiny chocolates she ate. after receiving the giant chocolate, they both discovered that inside of it were multiple chocolates, that doyoung and sooyoung could share.

" are we going to finish this, or should we wait for another night ? " doyoung asked, getting up from the couch. it was almost eleven at night, their movie had ended, and no other old person was still awake. it was just them.

" i say we continue, once we watch another movie. now, i feel like going to sleep. it was been such a tiring day. " sooyoung was about to walk to her room, until she stopped. " i think that.. doyoung, did you see my bag ? " she asked.

doyoung looked up from his phone. he was extremely tired, and could not properly understand sooyoung's question. sooyoung ran into her room, searching for what he could only figure out was her bag. but her purse was there.

" doyoung, i had a box in it. it was filled with chocolate and other candy, and a weird associate of your father's gave it to me. " sooyoung said, as she continued to look around her other chairs and drawers. " have you seen it ? "

" no, i doubt you even came up with it. are you sure you did not leave it downstairs, when you took your phone out ? " doyoung asked. his words made sooyoung turn to him, confused. she could not help but wonder when she had done that.

then, she recalled a moment earlier in the day. sooyoung, who had been holding the bag, was getting into the lobby when her phone rung inside of her purse. she put the bag down and answered doyoung's phone call.

after doyoung let her know he was going to come home a little later than usual, sooyoung put her phone back in her purse, greeted ten and walked into the elevator, without her bag. so, she left it in the lobby, and it was waiting for her.

no one at aurora palace was going to steal that. it was not something that ever took place, because of how serious the guards were about protecting lost things. by now, sooyoung's bag could be on the reception counter.

" i should go down and take it. ten is going to murder me, for how long he may have kept it. it is not too late, right ? " sooyoung asked. she tried to find a pair of slippers, but she saw that doyoung replied by shaking his head.

" ten left an hour ago, if he did not have to leave earlier. actually, i think i remember that he did leave in the afternoon, and left his trainee with dong ji-yoo at the reception. " doyoung told sooyoung, but she did not listen.

her bag was still there. the good chocolate was going to melt, and she was not going to forgive herself for becoming so clumsy. she put on her slippers and walked out of the penthouse, leaving doyoung to simply sigh.

was it that hard to listen to him ? it was almost like she knew exactly why she was going downstairs. knowing sooyoung, she had something up her sleeve. doyoung was sad, because he knew nothing about it.

doyoung could guess it had to do with her prince charming.

-

sooyoung was not doing something bad, nor illegal. she was simply going in the lobby, without any other distractions. she was surely not aware that jaehyun was a night owl that wandered around the lobby late at night.

why would she even know ? it was not like she had asked multiple people about it. sicheng told her about it, and ever since then, she was determined that she should bring up the tension between them, by accidentally seeing him.

she was not going to tell her name to him, and make him wait for the party. sooyoung wondered if he was dying to know more about her, and was way too excited to see her in person. she was a memorable person, she was probably on his mind all the time.
