'it's such a pleasure to have the lee taeyong here, at my party!' the japanese designer greeted him, giving him a grand smile and a handshake.

'please, it'll all thanks to your hard work.' taeyong responded politely, giving him a greeting bow. 'if it wasn't for your talent, i wouldn't have the honour to present it.'

'ah, a gentleman you are. please, somebody get him a glass of champagne.' the designer exclaimed delightfully, taking the glass from a waiter and handing it to taeyong with pleasure. 'come and meet my fellow staff and co-workers.'

as much as taeyong wasn't exactly a social person, only socialising when spoken to you, it was part of his job to present himself to others at events such as these.

but he couldn't help but feel socially exhausted after a while, only realising that once he had been interacting with somebody for more that 5 minutes.

he ordered another glass of champagne as he found his seat in the table, sighing deeply once he dropped to his seat.

he didn't exactly understand his importance. don't get him wrong, he was grateful for the people who applauded him and who helped him get to where he was. but he didn't think himself as somebody who deserved as much recognition as he did.

sometimes, a part of him wished that he didn't have the recognition. but the other part knew that there were those who wish that they had what he had.

'to my dearest friends who could participate here tonight, thank you for all your hard work,' the designer stood up from his seat once everybody was finished with their gourmet meal. 'but i would also especially thank lee taeyong for his beauty and ability to show off my work. it's a pleasure for you to be joining us here tonight.'

for the first time in a while, he felt his cheeks heat up as everyone at the table switched their gaze at him, applauding him once more and lifting their glasses.

'thank you.' he responded softly, chuckling at his embarrassing state.

my bed is calling for me.
