The rain pattered onto the ground as the night engulfed the scenery. Buildings lit up as the traffic grew heavier on the highway. It was the basic traffic of Seoul that kept late-night drivers up. Breathtaking but dangerous; often like a woman.

A woman, age 21, walked out of one of the taller buildings in one of the busier areas. Her tall, black heels clicked against the sidewalk as she kept a minimum pace to get to her car. She wore a long, black trench coat over her black pants and white blouse, with a duffle bag hanging off her shoulder. What would a young adult like herself be doing coming from a building at that hour? Either she hates things at home or... she's working overtime.

Did you expect a big scandal, reader?

Within a yard of her car, she began to rummage through her pockets for her car keys. *Click* The sound of a camera clicking echoed slightly, but did not reach her ears due to the heavy traffic sounds. Finally finding her keys, she opened her car door, tossed her duffle bag in, and sat in the driver's seat. She started her car and immediately turned the heat on. She waited a few minutes for the car to warm up before pulling away from the curb. It was the same schedule everyday. I mean, she liked her job. Her 5 minute car ride turned into a 20 minute delay due to the Seoul traffic, but she didn't mind. She found it quite calming actually- to sit in traffic and just listen to her music as her car edged along the highway roads. There was a certain relaxation to it for her. Once home, she threw her keys on the counter along with her coat and duffle bag. After kicking her shoes off, she undressed herself, tied her hair up, and hopped into the shower- letting the hot water hit her skin. Another relaxing scene as the hot water trickled down her skin and brought her warmth. She hated the cold, ergo she found the warmth comforting - almost addicting. After dressing into her pajamas, she hopped into bed to get a good night's sleep without a second thought.
