Heirs to The Thrones

A Tropical Holiday

The best OST for A Tropical Holiday:

Havana by Camilla Cabello and Young Thug

When Irene received the order to prepare a small suitcase for a trip in a tropical country and to bring it with her boss's passport to Incheon, she didn't think it was anything unusual. It wasn't the first time Sooyoung had to go to another country in a few hours notice. Probably one of her parents' banks in South East Asia had a problem, and she had to personally be there to solve it.

However, when Irene arrived at Koreana lounge and saw Yook Sungjae sitting in front of her boss, she felt something was wrong. Trying to speak politely, she pulled her boss aside and asked,

"Miss Park, are you sure you know what you're doing?"

"Don't worry, I know how to take care of myself."

"Are you sure he's not plotting to get your company or ruin you?"

She turned to Sungjae. He was on the phone, but he was looking at her direction while speaking, his expression asking, "What's the problem?"

"We're just---I'm just trying to get something."

Irene frowned, "What is it that you want? Miss Park, you do know that Yook Sungjae-ssi is extremely manipulative, right? I just don't want you to wake up one morning to find you've already signed a contract that will ruin you."

"I won't drink alcohol at all in this trip. I swear. I'll be fine."

"Miss, is this just a way to get back at Kim Taehyung-ssi?"

"Maybe. Or I just want to play too, for once in my life. Maybe I don't want to do the right thing, just for once."

Irene wanted to say a lot more, but it was not her job to dictate her boss. She hugged Sooyoung and wished her for a safe trip.

"When will you be back?"

"I'll leave Bali on Sunday. Will be back for work on Monday."

It was Friday, and Irene thought, nothing much could go wrong on a weekend trip, so she bowed and left the lounge.

"Are you and your secretary friends?"

"Yes. We met on a piano course, and have been friends ever since."

"That's nice. It's hard to find sincere friends, right?"

Sooyoung was peacefully drinking her fruit punch, but did a double take at Sungjae with the question. The remark somehow hit home.

"A thousand times yes. Happens to you all the time, too?"

"Too often to be accepted as something serious anymore."

"I don't mind having only few friends. I have four, they've been with me through thick and thin. I'm done with fake friends."

Suddenly, her phone vibrated.

Sooyoung immediately cursed once she saw the caller's number.

Sungjae didn't see a person's name, but it was clear that Sooyoung knew the number's owner.

At first, Sooyoung rejected the call, and tried to read the novel she bought at the airport's bookstore, but the caller called for a second time, then the third time.

Exasperated, Sooyoung accepted the call, looking around for a private place to talk in the exclusive lounge, but decided that she rather risked Sungjae listening than letting strangers heard the conversation.
