Happy new year!!!

——

Jisoo still hadn't turn around. She didn't need to. The look that Lisa was giving over shoulder was enough to know who exactly was standing behind her.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Lisa spat.

"What? I'm not allowed to visit my old friends?"

Jisoo finally turned around and glared at the one person that made her feel really homicidal. All she wanted to do was wipe that smug smile that adorned that bitchy face. "We're not friends, Nayeon," Jisoo said with venom.

Nayeon smirked and took a step towards Jisoo. "As I recall, we were more than friends." She ran her finger down Jisoo's arm and Jisoo slapped it away. "Oh, someone's a little feisty."

Jisoo was so close to slapping her when she felt Lisa's hand on her shoulder. "I ask again, what the hell are you doing here?" Lisa repeated calmly. She was trying to be civil for Jisoo's sake.

Nayeon looked around the studio and picked up one of their business cards. "Just checking out the competition," she gave them a little smirk. "This is an interesting little shin dig," she started condescendingly. "This is the big film production you two were talking about back in college?"

Jisoo narrowed her eyes now realizing what Lisa was trying to tell her earlier. "So you own that new film production?" Fucking bitch.

"Guilty as charged," Nayeon threw the card down at the desk. "And I must say, I thought I was going to have a challenge but this is like taking candy from a baby."

"Stealing our clients? Isn't that a little petty for you?" Lisa asked. Jisoo looked like she was about to kill someone.

Nayeon let out a little laugh. "Petty? It's called good business, Lisa, and from the looks of this place, you seem to have none."

"What you do, Nayeon? Offer to sleep with them? Because we all know that when it comes to good film production, Jisoo and I can kick your ass," Lisa glared at her. "You're not still bitter about that film festival are you?" she asked smirking.

Nayeon's face darkened. "That's in the past. Mark my words, ladies. This little 'production' of yours is going to tank. Pretty soon I'm going to have all your clients. And then we'll see who's better." She stepped right into Jisoo's personal space. "It was great seeing you, Jisoo, maybe we can get together some time."

Is she kidding me? "Yeah, and maybe you can suck my imaginary dick. Get the fuck out of my studio."

Nayeon smirked again. "Later." She left with a wink and Jisoo had to fight the urge not to throw a chair at her retreating form. She was seething with rage.

"You okay?" Lisa asked cautiously.

"Am I okay?" Jisoo wheeled around and stared at Lisa. She was livid. "Am I okay?" she repeated, her voice cracking with rage. "Nayeon's back in town and stealing our clients. I'm not even in the vicinity of okay!" I'm going to kill her.

Lisa grabbed a hold of Jisoo's shoulders. "Jisoo, I know what happened back in college was horrible, but that's in the past. You can't let her get to you."

"How can I not?" Jisoo screamed, brushing off Lisa's hands. "You know how it was, you were there."

"I know, Jisoo, but we have to be the bigger people here. Those clients we lost to her? They're going to realize they made a mistake and come back here," Lisa reassured her. "You know how Nayeon works, she's full of shit."

Jisoo knew that Lisa was right. What Nayeon lacked in talent she always made up for in money. She absolutely sucked at film editing and Jisoo always wondered how she managed to stay in film school. The film festival proved exactly how talent less Nayeon was. Her high tech, futuristic indie movie did not impress the judges. They thought it was superficial and thought it focused more on the special effects than the actual cinematography. The prize went to Jisoo and Lisa. Nayeon's been bitter ever since.
