MINE /hwabyul (under construction)

twenty six

the next week at work, byulyi and hyejin has showed nothing but pure cringe of pda at the work place. small actions like daily check up on the computers, more than once actually. only to have the boss snake her arm around hyejin.

fellow employees always seem to wonder how the hell did the new bratty, nice ahn hyejin managed to turn the mean cold ceo into a giant teddy bear?

that's all they see in their work lives. their boss being a clingy bitch everyday.

every time hyejin comes from any place walking through. eyes are always fixed on her. and it's no wonder the "measly" new employee has byulyi wrapped around her fingers.

AHN HYEJIN KNOWS SHE LOOKS LIKE A MEAL.

"hyejin-ah, i love your outfit today." a voice speaks up.

the black haired girl whips her head back, knowing the voice. she knows it's the bitch that was trying to hit on byulyi a few weeks back.

but nonetheless, ahn hyejin who now seems to have an image at the work smiles it off. "thank you."

"did the ceo buy it for you?" the tone that came off from the senior was almost full of jealousy.

but who wouldn't be jealous of ahn hyejin? the new employee who caught the attention of ceo moon byulyi. who wouldn't be jealous of moon byulyi either?

"it's cute that you want to be me." the younger of the two slightly smirks, holding onto a folder professionally as she bows to the senior in the "package" section.

the senior scoffs, opening her mouth to speak but nothing comes out.

"cat's got your tongue?" hyejin pushes up her glasses as she walks away on her heels.

"hyejin-ah, how far are you on your paper?" seungkwan peeks over the cubicle's stall.

the younger looks at the word count. "a third is completed, why?"

"argh! i'm still stuck on this margin." the blonde frustratingly fidgets with her name tag.

hyejin quickly gets up, hovering over the divider between the two. "ah, so for this margin, i basically just put in the analysis of the-"

"-ahem, am i interrupting something?" an all too known voice clears their throat, gathering attention from the section.

the younger turns around to see byulyi holding many cup carriers of coffee. "you're back from your trip early?"

"wanted to surprise you," the older grins, handing her a cup carrier. "for you, seungkwan, and seulgi."

byulyi later looks around the section, walking towards the middle. "everyone have some, i bought plenty!"

she sets them down on the small table in the middle before walking over to hyejin. staring at the younger sipping on the coffee.

"what are you looking at boss?" hyejin raises her eyebrow, puzzled at byulyi's actions.

the older shrugs. "i'm just lucky to have a girlfriend like you."

everyone groans in disgust and annoyance. "there she goes again!"

"no but really, ahn hyejin i need to talk to you." byulyi softly says but with a serious tone.

nonetheless, the younger nods, setting down her coffee on the desk. looking at the older as she follows her.

"what's up buttercup?" hyejin casually says, sitting down on the sofa in the woman's office.

byulyi flusters for a quick few seconds before coughing awkwardly. "do you know who kwon hyuckwoo is?"

concentrating on the face of hyejin, byulyi leans back against her desk.

"yeah, my parents arranged me to a marriage with him," the younger shrugs. "why?"

"just wondering."

hyejin furrows her brows. "something is up, right?"

"no! of course not." the newly dyed ash brown haired woman waves off her hands in front.

being the stubborn woman she is, the younger crosses her arm. "byul, i wasn't born yesterday. tell me what the fuck is up?" 

"okay," byulyi softly says, walking over to sit across hyejin. "that day you came to visit me during work, my assistants found material that was threatening you."

the younger nods.

"i know that you're thinking was yongsun," the ash brown haired opens the file. "but it's not, it was kwon hyuckwoo."

hyejin rolls her eyes. "not surprised, he's upset cause he couldn't get this."

"why did your parents arranged a marriage with him?"

the younger dramatically sighs. "for business."

"so you're a secret granddaughter of the ahns?" byulyi crosses her legs, interested in what's going on. "which means you're from my type of world?"

hyejin scoffs jokingly. "you thought i was poor? did you see my apartment!"

"but yeah, my grandfather is huge in mining and oil."

the older nods. "why are you a secret?"

"my mother's scandal," the black haired laughs. "i ran away from home to stay with my aunt because i didn't want to do dirty businesses like that."

byulyi's shoulders drop to a relief. "and you were going to tell me this when?"

"you didn't ask! it's not important anyways because all my life i've been inde-"

"independent," byulyi amazingly looks at hyejin. "ahn hyejin, you're amazing you know that?"

the younger shrugs casually, sending a wink over to towards the older. "i know cutie."
