HERSHE - SEULRENE

SR - Lipstick

It was another busy day in the office. Seulgi is standing beside Irene's table, looking frustrated.

"Oh c'mon, do you still have any other ideas?"

"I told you, it's the only one I could think of," said Irene, pretending to be busy working on her computer.

It's the time of the month when she and Seulgi got to work together for a client again. Irene was tasked to come up with an article while Seulgi's working on the banners and covers.

However, Seulgi seemed not satisfied with the tagline Irene has created. And the latter is pissed about it.

Krystal pulled her chair closer to them. "Hey, hey, why are you two fighting again?"

Seulgi waved the papers in her hands. "Well, Ms. Bae here says that the tagline she'd given for the lipstick product is fine. I think it's too lousy. I need another tagline now because I'll be submitting this to the client later."

"Why do we need to submit two samples if that one is okay?" asked Irene.

"That's the thing, Bae, it's not okay. I can't submit this kind of result to the client."

"If you don't like the one I made then go create a tagline yourself."

Getting frustrated, Seulgi walked over in front of the terminal to get a better view of Irene's face.

"We. Need. To. Talk," she said pointing a finger back and forth them.

For some reason, Irene suddenly felt exposed. She slightly covered her face with a hand. "I told you, I ran out of ideas."

Krystal finally stood up. "Okay, maybe I can help. What's the product all about again?"

Seulgi browsed the papers she's holding. "Well..."

Irene took this chance to look at Seulgi who, well, looked like a cute bear.

Although she hasn't fully accepted it to herself yet, Irene agrees Seulgi has this charisma that somehow affects her.

Seulgi glanced up at Irene in between scanning papers. Irene withdrew her eyes immediately, feeling conscious.

Seulgi pulled out a sheet of paper and showed it to Krystal. "Here. The product is a cherry-flavored edible lipstick. Irene's article talks about the benefits it can give to women, which I think is already obvious. The tagline she used is--"

"Look and taste beautiful," said Irene.

"See?" Seulgi shook her head. "Who do you think will buy that tagline?"

Krystal laughed for a moment and stopped when Irene glared at her. "Oops! Sorry."

"There has to be something better than this." Seulgi flicked her fingers against the paper. "This is not my field. You should be the one doing this."

"Seriously, girl, do you have a problem?" Krystal carefully touched Irene's forehead. "Are you feeling okay? It seems not like you producing something like that."

"I know. Sorry. Maybe it's just mood swings." Irene sighed.

Truth is, she knew the real reason. It was hard for her to focus while writing that article because curious Seulgi was watching her how to do it.

"It's okay. At least Seulgi noticed the mistake before we submit it to the client," said Krystal, lightening up the mood. "I can provide my input too."

"I have an idea to help you, ladies." Seulgi raises a hand. "Let's conceptualize something that benefits not only women but also their lovers."

"That's interesting. But how? Men don't usually wear lipstick," said Irene.
