BENEFIT SHIT

Chapter 7

The gentle but aggressive violin created a sweet melody as soon as you put a foot in the expensive building where the event was holding. 

The company had rented a chic building where each floor presented the new collection of perfume, make-up and sometime jewelry. On the first floor you were welcome by two beautiful women around my age holding glasses of wine. I had to decline since i'm underage. When you step in, there was make-up( more lipstick ) well presented. The aesthetic was white and pastel blue. Everything was beautifully pleasing to the eyes. 

The event with M.Do was holding on the roof where there was also food as all the floor are more focused on the cosmetic. I was starting to get thirsty, so i left my mom to get water or juice on the roof. 

I walked to the elevator and waited patiently for this one to open. I was surprised to see an imposing man when the door opened. His facial feature were sharp and he seemed strict and serious. One of his eyes was dark green as the other one was brown. Heterochromia.  

I was too mesmerized by the powerful aura surrounding the men to even bow or present myself or even say hi. Coming back to reality, i bowed to the gray haired man. He simply nodded and walked away. I never knew meeting M.Do would make me act like a dumb ass. i shook my head. I was about to go in the elevator when a familiar voice cut me.

-Oh, Jeehee? Is that you?

I turned around to face the only one and only man, i named Jung Hoseok. He gave me his huge sunshine smile and walked to me. He was holding a cup of wine in his head. 

-You are getting alcohol even if you are underage?

I commented pointing at his glass. He simply chuckled. Hoseok was wearing a pastel blue suit with a slightly open white shirt. He was really sexy and adorable at the same time. 

-Why not. I thought you were going with the boys at the amusement park.

-Oh, my mom invited me to the event and i love make-up so why not. And you?

-Same thing, but i didn't have much choice to go. My sister is a model for the company and she needed me to take pictures of her for her Instagram. I was about to join her on the roof.

-Oh, i was going there too! 

-Cool let's go.  

He smiled and invited me to walk toward the elevator. The whole mood of this event felt so rich and affluent with the classical music playing on each floor. I was able to recognize some popular pieces from Vivaldi or Tchaikovsky. I felt like a princess somehow. Hoseok for his part looked completely bored. He shouldn't have say yes. He looked like he's about to sleep even he smiles. 

Ding! 

We got off of the elevator and walked in the roof. I was astonished to see the fancy food and the aesthetic. This aesthetic won over the whole building. There was plant everywhere and multiple pastel ribbon. Majestic flowers, some that i have seen and some that i have never. It was beautiful. 

-Before, i join my sister do you want a picture for your social media?

-Me? But,uh-

-Go over there. The view is pretty.

I awkwardly walked over the place he told me to. I tried to pose, but i don't appreciate to take pictures in general, this is why my feed is dry. 

-Done, i will send it to you tonight. See you later Jeehee!

He waved at me before he left. I sighed and looked around a bit lost. 

Oh, yes!

Food. This is why i am here. 

I walked toward the table where the food was placed. I didn't want to eat anything for the moment, too scared that my belly might bloat. I simply opted for a glass of water. A men was also pouring some water  in his glass not long after me. I took the opportunity to observe more the rooftop. I saw Hoseok taking pictures of a beautiful women who looked a lot like him. I guessed it was his sister. 

My eyes looked around and fell on the men beside me. He was giving me his side profile as he was looking through the food. His face slightly told me something but i brushed it off. 

"Maybe it'a him?" I told myself. i looked back at the men and something about him was really familiar. 

-Excuse me?

I asked in the most polite voice. 

-I would ask all the guests to meet at the third floor. 

A strong voice spoke into speakers.

The boy slightly bowed at me, but it was enough for me to recognize his face. My jaw dropped and so did my heart. I knew i would see him, but i was still surprised. He hadn't change much, but he looks so handsome and grown. I wanted to say something but he quickly left giving me his back. 

I looked down at my feet and walked toward the elevator like everybody else. 

-Hey, are you okay?

Hoseok's voice spoke into my ear. A smile curved my lips and i nodded.

-You saw Kyungsoo. Didn't you ?

My eyes widened surprise of his right guess. But how would he know, i'm shocked to see him. Hoseok and i were never spoke until last year ans i never spoke about Kyungsoo. 

He patted my back as an answer to my confused eyes. 

As we got into the third floor, i searched my mom by the eyes. I saw her figure talking with the tall man, M. Do. His wife was by his side and i saw Kyungsoo's back walking to them. 

"what should i do ?" 

I wanted to hide to the bathroom, but i have to face him one day. I took my time to join them. My mom's smile got bigger when she saw me. I was happy to know, she enjoyed the party. She grabbed my arm softly and put her hand on my back. 

-This is my sweet daughter, Jeehee Choe. 

I bowed to the three of them with some hello. Kyungsoo's mother smiled at me and she nodded. Mister Do simply smiled at me. Kyungsoo seemed shocked to see me. 

-Baby, aren't you going to say hi?

His mom spoke furrowing her eyebrows.

-Y-yes sure. Nice to meet you i'm Kyungsoo Do. 

I smiled as a soft pink blush spread my cheeks. 

-Well, let's sit to our table, his mom said in a bubbly tone. 

We all walked to our table. We were sitting on the same table, because my mom is Do's assistant just for people who forgot. Kyungsoo's dad was going to give a speech so he didn't join us. I had to go quickly to the bathroom so i excused myself. 

I walked away trying to find the bathroom. 

-Jeehee!

I turned around to see Kyungsoo following me. 

-It's been a long..

He spoke shyly. 

-Yes, it did. I'm happy i got to see you today.

I replied sincerely. 

-How is your life since you left?

I asked to cut the silence.

-Great. The school isn't that bad. Just boring, but if it's make my dad glad i will continue studing there. 

-You know that Hoseok is here.

I stated remembering how in the past he wanted to be friend with the seven of them.

-I do. We greeted each other earlier. 

-Oh, okay. 

I replied not knowing what to say.

-Would you like to maybe grab something to eat and talk about how it has been this years.

A huge grin appeared on my face. 

-Sure.
