Into You

I'm so into you

July 29, 2020 — Guangzhou, China

It's July. Twenty-nine of July, to be exact, and it is the anniversary of one of the most unbearable and brainless men Soyeon has ever met: Wong Zhoumi. She is being forced to put up with him showing off Yuqi, dressed in her beautiful Alexander McQueen — a black, shiny piece, glued to her body like a bubblegum —, for another bunch of brainless idiots that look at her like she is a piece of meat, and the agent can't do anything about it. Fuck politicians.

They are all at his big birthday party, in the ballroom of Guangzhou's largest luxury hotel, which had been reserved all day especially for men; to please him, to honor him. And so do his co-workers, his family members and his closest friends; pleasing him, giving him friendly pats on the back and offering him endless gifts, while Soyeon and the rest of the security team stretch close to the walls, dressed in suits, hands behind their bodies and impeccable posture, eyes sweeping every corner of the room, being forced to monitor all that.

To make things worse, Jongin is right next to her and doesn't seem to want to leave, which is really messing with her mood.

In the case of Soyeon, there is nothing she cares about more than Song Yuqi, since all of her real work is already done and, for all factors, this is the last month that she would serve the Wong family. However, the younger girl's features are too much for her and she knows she won't be able to be quiet if she continues to watch her suffering; so she forces herself to dodge, although she still smiles at Yuqi when the redhead seeks for support.

She is having to keep up with the most fucked up character on that freak show.

Soyeon never wanted to beat Wong Zhoumi as much as she wants to right now. That idiot!

And she still has to deal with a problem that she doesn't even know how it happened. "There are files missing," says the message from her boss, sent two days after taking the package. Her superior was very specific: someone had stolen the pendrive and removed the files, then returned it as if nothing had happened. And she has no idea who it was.

The mansion has more than fifteen employees and eight of them share rooms in the service area, which means they sleep there frequently. Everyone becomes possible culprits and, since then, her mind is even more messed up than it already was, making her pay attention to every single detail of what happens in the house and around her.

"Pay attention, Jeon," Jongin complains, realizing that she has her thoughts far away.

In fact, they are so far away from there that she doesn't even realize when Zhoumi goes up on stage and takes the microphone until everybody laughs.

"And I want to thank each one of you for being here today, celebrating this very special day, not only for me, but for our Nation as well, that will soon know the achievements of Wong Zhoumi and claim my name to fill me up of praise when I show this country what I am capable of," he continues and laughs, being accompanied by his crowd. "But that's not just why I'm up here, guys. I have an announcement to make," the politician shifts. He picks up a glass of champagne and holds it up. "Yuqi, my wonderful fiance, and I will be married in seven weeks. The date has finally been decided!"

The news takes Soyeon by surprise and makes her heart beat faster in a matter of seconds. She paralyzes right where she is, without being able to move her head or close her mouth, that expresses her surprise like never before. She doesn't need to look at Yuqi to know that she didn't have the least amount of prior knowledge about the marriage because they spend enough time together for Soyeon to know that no , no one had said anything to her. But she still does it, after recovering from her inner crisis, ignoring the applause of the listeners, including Jongin — who smiles stupidly and demonstrates a surreal pride for the boss —, and evaluating the face of the young girl.
