"I haven't seen you around here before."
...
clink!
The sound of crystal wine glasses clinking together could be heard throughout the elegant atrium of the large mansion.
The crystal glasses glistened underneath the golden globe chandelier, their sparkles are so pretty in anyone's eyes. They were designed to look frosted as if ice were crawling up the cylinder-like shape. As if the room was below zero degrees.
"Cocktail, sir?" Taehyung's gaze is broken, and his eyes shift to the man in a black uniform with a silver tray over his arm with a cloth napkin hanging underneath. Taehyung shakes his head, waving the waiter off.
It was Christmas Day and Kim Taehyung's eyes were leveled with the rim of the crystal glass, he was observing its elegant detailing, loving the way it glowed.
Despite the glass barely being a quarter filled with the bubbly Rosé champagne, Taehyung held it out, it made him look more sophisticated, exactly what his father wanted.
So, he continued this act, trying to find something to do while being present in this boring party. He knows a party on Christmas is weird, but it was normal to higher class business people. This was quite common, but of course, Taehyung would love to be somewhere else at the moment.
The light chatter of business partners and business related people buzzed around as they all stood in small separate groups of three to four at a time.
Taehyung was standing outside of the crowd, off the dance floor, leaning against a wall next to a neatly plated table, a foot behind his calf.
He never wanted to be there, his father forced him to because it would, "-make me look better in the eyes of my clients and partners that I raised a fine young man."
Taehyung rolled his eyes, thinking back on this. His father never raised him, no one did. He had to learn alone and with the use of real-life, Taehyung thought he raised himself well.
Taehyung was beginning his second year of law school, aiming to become a typical lawyer; making arguments, fighting for cases and innocent people who deserved peace and justice. See? Typical.
He had already gained his 4 years of undergraduate study, yet still had one year left out of three to graduate.
Anyways, Taehyung just wanted to graduate and move far away from Seoul, South Korea to someplace in America like New York, California, or Seattle.
