Min-soo, her milky white skin glowing under the golden Street lights as they both strolled their path up to ha-rin's apartment.
"You sure you don't want me to have a night over with you?"
"Nope." Walks with her usual smile on her face.
Min-soo stops and looks at her for a beat. Sighs. "Ugh! This won't do. You're coming to my place." Pulls ha-rin back to the car parked in front of the compound wall.
_____________________________________
"That fuckin bastard! He thinks you're some pushover??" Min-soo started to get a side kick of the alcohol as it flows down her throat.
Ha-rin sitting across the table on the floor, leaning on the sofa looking almost done as if now it's going to be so much difficult to keep Min-soo from murdering any man she would see first.
"Yaa, you got me to your house to hear your drunk talk today?" Holding her can.
"How can you be so calm even after all these things?"
Ha-rin just stares at the water droplets that are formed around the cold metal can of beer, slowly making it's way down taking it's own sweet time.
"Aghhhhh" min-soo growls.
Ding dong
Min-soo's head dropped; doesn't even notice the sound of door bell ringing.
"Did you order some more food?" Ha-rin gets up to open the door, her question remaining unanswered.
She opens the door.
"What the hell are you doing here instead of studying at your dorm?" Ha-rin asks calm outside but with the hint of rudeness not ignorable.
"That's not the main point! Did that bastard cheat on you?!???!" Yoon tae-yang gets inside.
"Ah huh, you little! How did you know about that?"
"I phone called Min-soo sis, and she dropped her phone without hanging up. I heard your conversation."
Ha-rin sighs in disbelief.
"Yaa. I sent you to academy to study and your bunking your classes to go play in cyber cafes? Huh?"
"Sis...." Tae-yang looks like a cry baby. He is a cry baby. "Just forget him. Just block him. You deserve much better."
Ha-rin pulls his ear. "Don't act like a spoiled brat" tae-yang cries in pain. "and listen to what your sister is saying."
"Ahhhhhhh ok ok ok leave leave" tae-yang cries.
_________________________________________
Now Tae-yang sitting across the table of both ha-rin and min-soo.
"Sis, I can still teach him a lesso.."
Ha-rin bangs her palm on the table making both flinch but tae-yang from fear and min-soo from surprise.
"Don't do anything! Otherwise I'll be the one teaching you the lesson."
"Yaa ha-rina... Calm down, tae-yang, you takes this" (passing him the can) "No- no... Wait... You have this.... Schikhen" (passing him the box of fried chickens)
Tae-yang looking at her pink flushed cheeks- "woah... Min-soo sis is already drunk"
Ha-rin sighing, "Tomorrow she's gonna get headache for real. Both from alcohol and deadline."
"Thaat jerk!" Min-soo suddenly sits up straight, turns to hari-in-"Do you want me to go kill that bastard?"
Ha-rin blinks.
Tae-yang hyped up- "yup! Yes sis. I'm in for it!"
Ha-rin scoffs.
"Both of you sit your asses Down" she commands, pulling down min-soo's sleeves in requisition.
Min-soo's head dropped down again.
Tae-yang sits back making his I'll will try that some other day face.
Tae-yang noticing how drunk min-soo has got and her mumbles getting more and more understandable- "Min soo sis is going to start her tale of murdering her ex soon." He says.
"I want to kill that guy!!!" Min-soo stabs her fork on the cardboard box of fried chicken.
"See" tae-yang proudly points out as he stands up.
"Are you leaving already? Just sleep here. I don't think they'll allow you inside this late". Ha-rin says looking at the clock on the wall.
8:30 PM
"It's okay. I've got some things to do. I'll leave now. Just call me if that bastard tries to contact you" Tae-yang punches his own palm (maybe imagining ways to beat him up)
Ha-rin sat there. Looking at him. When did he grow up? He's already 18. Just when tae-yang was about to close the door behind ha-rin spoke up.
"Yaa! Don't go around causing trouble!"
Door closes.

6AM
Ha-rin's phone alarm goes off. Her hand searches for the phone vibrating somewhere inside the blanket.
Min-soo's still asleep.
Ha-rin wakes up, get's ready for office; just get any outfit from wardrobe it's her's only anyways, min-soo won't complaint.
________________________________________
Ha-rin catches the bus to work from the bus stop.
"Good morning"
"Good morning"
Echoes everywhere as all the workers enters the building.
"Good morning, Ms. Ha-rin" Lee Do Hyun wishes as he enters the office.
"Hey! Do Hyun" ha-rin greets him back.
"Well that video from yesterday- oww awwow-" Kim Seo-yeon hits his back and starts-
"HAA! Yesterday we got a news that Writer Shinjin would be taking a little break from writing."
"What?? Really? I didn't heard anything."
"Yes. I received the call when you people left. As a editor in charge, I think you should go meet him in person." Park minjoon - The team leader speaks as he stays in his place.
"Yes, I have to. He's one of the top writers... I'll go" ha-rin declares.
Everyone gets back to their desk carrying on their work.
Lee do Hyun brings the tray of 4 different drinks to the table.
Kim Seo yeon starts. "It's so nice to be young" adoring the barista over the counter grinding and blending the coffee beans.
"He do looks handsome" giving a glance at him past Lee do Hyun.
Ha-rin sips her ice-americano listening to their talks.
Do-hyun opening his burger from cover leans forward motioning them to come closer as if he's about spill a secret.
The three of them leans forward.
"You guys know there's a rumour going around that he's the landlord of this building"
'Whaaa'
Nari, Ha-rin, Seo-yeon opens their mouth wide in shock.
"He does give vibe of a rich heir" Nari narrows her eyes as she observes the guy over the counter in white full sleeved loose shirt, black apron on top.
"Those sports car parked in the basement... those are his???" Ha-rin points out.
Everyone nods their head like ohhh
Kim Seo-yeon sits back after a beat, "ayy... We're going too far, c'mon"
Do-hyun laughs it off - "yeah, I think our work has made us like this hahahaha"
Nari still in maze but - "hmm, if he owns this building, then why would he work in this cafe"
Everyone agreeing to that valid point.

The sticky note lies the table as min-soo is washing the dishes now, feeling a little alright after eating something.
She plops down on her chair, her hand hovering above the keyboard.
Giving a hard stare to the desktop, her fingers start flying.
THE GENTLE SCENT OF YOU
