Light past the curtains shed on my face and woke me up after a few hours of sleep. It was the last day of report revision at the office and I was running late, I guess I had too much martini. As I've expected from a few angels at Paradigm, somebody just had to recite me essays about punctuality and fashion sense. The supervisor eyed me as I made my way to my office and Chungha and Ineul were tapping their feet, seeming to want an explanation.

" Okay, chill the fuck out guys. Its not like you're my boyfriends and I cheated on you or something, I had a headache thats it. " their eyes were wide in shock then soft the next moments

" You see Luna, I almost believed Chungha that you were dating someone behind our backs. We were so worried some human would take advantage of you. " Ineul butted in

" Yeah! But we know now that you're THAT bitch who won't let us down, except for whatever you're wearing right now. " she smiled awkwardly. Morning wasn't that eventful but for some reason, I was looking forward to lunch. Maybe because Johnny will treat me? Or because he's shopping with me for clothes? Or because he is the Johnny Seo? What he said last night came back to me and assured myself that there's nothing wrong in trusting a grim reaper with good intentions

" I suppose you don't have time for your wardrobe, Luna. If you're observant enough, you would notice how I eyed you from head to toe earlier and I have a good idea. Can I treat you for lunch tomorrow? Oh and can we shop because, girl, you ain't stepping in SM with your umm how can I say it, granny dress. " I never thought I would meet a Chungha in male version.

My two angel friends knew about Johnny but not Sooyoung. They are my closest friends but I can't ruin Sooyoung's trust like that, she told me to be quiet about it and let the others find out for themselves. Lunch finally came and I blasted to the elevators, not sparing the others a single glance.

" Han Luna! You really came down. I thought you'd ditch me like the others, do I look like a bad guy? " to be honest, Johnny is a handsome grim reaper. I've seen some and they were snob, thinking they were the greater beings but Johnny is far from them. He is kind and gentle, although he's two heads taller than me.

" Who on earth would flex their Maserati in front of Paradigm? I mean, parking lots exist and this is a violation! " I was looking for a culprit until it dawned on me.

" Oh my fucking goodness! I meant it Johnny and I'm not sorry because you violated a rule but I won't rat you out because we're friends. " he gave me an apologetic smile and we went off to the mall.

" I give up! There is no way my style is getting better. I can't do this shit, its too tiring! " we went to different shops and still no progress. Johnny was in the middle of choosing a dress for me when my stomach started to rumble.

" No worries, Luna! When I'm done, we can eat and you'll finally remove those nasty pieces of fabric from your body. " I couldn't thank the man enough so I let him take me to a restaurant of his choice and anywhere else.

I found myself gaping at the tall building before me, SM company. The exterior was intimidating but the interior was even more impressive, chandeliers at the lounge and white expensive marble littered the floor. Employees who saw Johnny bowed in recognition and resumed their business as we proceed to an elevator. I thought my office mates were exaggerating when they said SM was incomparable because it was.

" So, this is my personal office. I spend most of the time analyzing in here with a nice red wine, alcohol is common for us and its never been a problem. The team office is one of the biggest rooms an- close your mouth, sweetheart. " he continued to introduce his office as I let things sink in one by one.

" I bet your salary is ten times higher than mine and your office is definitely twice bigger than mine! " I uttered in disbelief to which he replied with a low chuckle. I stayed inside his office while he went to some meeting when a lady passed by and saw me
