The Devil's Pact | BBANGSAZ

At ten minutes before 7 PM, Minji made her way to the second floor of the Oyster's and rang the doorbell to Hanni's apartment. It was quickly answered by Yuqi.

"She'll be ready in 5 minutes, and you're gonna love it! Oh, I'm sorry, if you don't remember, my name is Song Yuqi. I'm the manager downstairs and Hanni's roommate, of course."

"Nice to meet you again, Yuqi. I must say, you've managed things really nicely in Hanni's absence the last couple of weeks."

Yuqi leaned in closer and said quietly, "Oh, why thank you! It's what I get paid for!" and she winked.

"Well," Minji cleared her throat and smiled. "Can I come in now?"

Yuqi leaned closer again and whispered, "So... I'm going out with my boyfriend tonight for a party. That should keep me out of the house until the early morning!" Yuqi beamed.

"Very generous of you," Minji smirked. "I'll try to make sure Hanni benefits from your thoughtfulness."

"Yuqi!" Hanni exclaimed, "Please!"

Hanni was standing just a few steps outside the bedroom door. Minji looked up and froze. What stood before her was such a thing of beauty that she couldn't even find the superlatives to tell herself. She had been with this woman for months now, yet Hanni always managed to take her breath away.

Minji had sent Mashiro to Hanni's apartment earlier with the dress and accessories for the major gala tonight. Minji was invited as one of the tycoons in the industry, and owing to Jaemin's connections, Hanni was invited to the event as well. There would be many people from the press and social media at this event, which could bring more popularity to Hanni's growing restaurant. While Minji really wanted to take Hanni as her own +1, she knew Hanni deserved her own spotlight. After a bit of back and forth, Hanni had agreed to go to the event together with her.

Hanni was wearing a royal purple, sleeveless dress with a huge embroidered dragon wrapping around it. The flames from the dragon flared up and out, right to the point where her nipples most likely were. Just below the collar, there was a round, laced opening that extended down to within an inch of the dragon's flames, exposing an ample amount of cleavage from two round, full breasts.

The dress was buttoned from the side-front of the collar, across just below her shoulder, and down her left side, where the buttons stopped at mid-hip. From there, the dress had a visible slit all the way to the bottom, just above her knees. The shoes were pumps with 3" heels, all done in matching purple with the same dragon's flames across the toes. She held a small clutch purse with a dragon set against the same purple.

Hanni had her hair clipped back on each side, above and behind her ears, held with gold clips with an oriental theme. Her hair trailed down behind her shoulders. Her jewelry was understated, with 2" flat gold earrings, a delicate gold watch, and a jade and gold ring on her right middle finger.

"I am so sorry about Yuqi, Minji. She can be... 'overly enthusiastic'... at times."

Minji did not move, except for her mouth. "I... uh... think it might be more accurate..." she swallowed, "...to say she is irrepressible. You, however, are... unbelievable!"

"I'm glad you find this outfit pleasing," Hanni added, swooning a bit at Minji's ensemble of a tailored maroon suit, white shirt, and matching maroon pumps. Her gold Rolex was hanging loosely on her left wrist, while her right wrist was adorned with a chain-like gold bracelet. There was a matching multi-layered gold chain around Minji's neck, making this one of her favorite looks on Minji.

"You... that dress... your hair... I... I don't have fantasies that look this... fantastic," Minji added as she took a step inside.

Hanni then walked toward Minji, slowly swaying her slender hips and turning a full 360 degrees, while she affected a corny southern belle accent. "Oh, thank you, Minji. A woman does like to be appreciated, now and then."
