I woke up early in the morning. This time, I felt something weird in my guts, that I was too excited to go to work today, to the fact that I'm smiling too much so early in the morning.

How weird.

I walked towards our dining room saw my mom and brother eating breakfast. I sat beside my brother and started digging to eat too.

"Ellise, go with your brother to work today." Mom said while eating her last piece of bacon on her plate and stood up. "Oh and Ethan, don't forget that she should also go home with you." She added while picking up the empty plates and walked to the kitchen room.

"You heard that, right?" My lovely brother asked with a smirk on his face and took another bite of his food.

"Yeah yeah~" I sarcastically answered. "Wait, what if my boss will give me tons of work again?" I asked him, taking a spoonful of fried rice inside my mouth.

"Then I'll just call mom and tell her that you have tons of work to do." He said calmly, finishing his breakfast.

"Really?!" I was surprised to the fact that the rice inside my mouth got onto his face. "Oh! Sorry, hehe." I laughed awkwardly.

"Ugh. Just hurry up eating. We'll be going after 15 minutes." He said, wiping his face with a tissue.

"15 minutes?!" I exclaimed.

"Yes, and will you please stop talking already? You're making a mess." He said, leaving the dining room. I immediately shoved a lot of spoonful of food inside my mouth and stood up from my chair while chewing all of it.

While I continued to chew, I walked to my bedroom only to find something that surprised me. It was a pretty brown pastel dress that was perfectly placed on top of my bed with a pair of new brown heels.

"Do you like it?" My brother asked, who was standing by the door. "Mom and I bought it last night for you." He said and walked towards my bed.

"Ah, but..."

"I don't wear clothes like this." I said, slowly chewing the food inside my mouth.

"I know." Ethan said, which made me confused. I looked at him with the food still stuffed inside my cheeks, also with a grain of rice on my cheek.

"That's why I, myself, also bought this for you." He removed the dress and there appeared a white plain polo with long sleeves. On top of it was a dark brown sweater made out of real wool and its sleeves only reaching just right below the elbow of a girl. Beside it was black slacks and a teal-colored purse, also with another pair of black pointed heels.

"But bruh. I don't wear heels." I told him pointing at those pointy footwear.

"Arghh~ why are you such a burden?" He face palmed himself and sighed. "Just go and get ready." He forcefully pushed me into the bathroom.

"Hurry up. I'll only be giving you 5 minutes." He demanded once he closed the bathroom door.

"Hey! That's a short time for me to shower!"

"Just hurry up."

I just finished putting on the clothes my brother gave me. Now, I'm having second thoughts on changing my clothes to the girly one because my mom was the one who bought it. She might also get upset since it's the first time she bought me a gift.

"ELLISE! HURRY UP!" My brother shouted, already waiting outside my bedroom.

ARGHH! I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE~

I ran towards my bed and quickly took the dress to change into it with the heels that matches the dress. As I finished changing, I looked at the mirror to check if I looked fine.

"I think it's not that bad." I told myself as I held onto the sides of the dress.

"Aren't you fini--" My brother walked inside my room, shocked at what he just saw.

"Woah. I didn't know that's the one you wanted to wear all along." He said, looking at me from head to toe.

"Well, I think you're ready now. Let's go." He said and walked out of my room.

Here I am trying to survive life by walking with these extremely high heels on the way to the office. I hope I'll be safe and sound, also alive once I'm at the company building.

I knocked and slightly opened the door to my boss' office but before I went in, I slowly peeked on the small gap of the door.

"Hurry up and come in! You have a lot of things to do." Yoongi demanded when he stopped walking around his office in circles.

I hurriedly walked to my work desk and even almost tripped. Luckily, I was able to balance myself anyway...

Ouch.

... Or maybe not.

"What the hell are you doing?" He asked, still roaming around his office while trying to choose between the pair of suits he has in his hands.

As you all know, I did trip myself and yes, I know I'm stupid.

I carefully stood up and walked normally as I could to my desk.

"The files are on my desk. I need a report about it, pronto." He ordered as he walked into the bathroom.

Well, I guess this is another battlefield.
