The squad reached the shop Minju was referring to. Looking up, the girls were filled with wonder at the strange yet intriguing name of the shop.
"#FBBELG", they all mentally read the gorgeously designed label of the store, the label was surrounded with images of flowers and butterflies which makes the over all atmosphere of the shop pleasing, even just from the outside.
They all went inside with Minju leading the way. Looking around, they saw the vast amount of variety the shop has when it comes to clothing. One side, they're looking at elegant and sophisticated dresses and outfits, while the other is full of clothing which can be prefered by people like Yena and Chaeyeon, who chooses clothes that are casual and comfortable.
Minju led them to the counter where a team of employees are waiting for customers, some of them already assisting customers in choosing outfits.
"Hey! I'm back again", Minju greets one employee across the counter with a smile as she walked towards her. The others just watched as their clueless of what's happening, even Yuri who's been Minju's friend ever since highschool is clueless as to why Minju greets the employee like a friend.
"Oh Minju-ssi! It's good to see you again!", the employee replied reciprocating Minju's smile with a smile of her own. The girls observed the employee Minju's talking to.
The employee have luscious black locks, sharp eyes that may look intimidating at first, cute nose, and a smile that can immediately make your thoughts about her being intimidating dissipate.
Yena seems to have been thinking to herself as she looks intently at the girl. Finally having enough of her invasive thoughts, she tapped Yujin's shoulder, which is standing beside her, and gestured her to come closer.
"Doesn't she look like someone from a movie?", Yena whispered to Yujin, fortunately not heard by others around them. "Eh? Who?", Yujin whispered back, puzzled.
"Wait... What was the name of that white dragon from that 'How to Train Your Dragon' movie?", Yena whispered to Yujin as she can't seem to remember the said character. Yujin thought hard, her hand on her chin as her lips form a little pout and her eyesbrows furrowed.
"Ah! Light Fury!", Yujin whispered, finally remembering what character Yena was referring to. "Yeah yeah!", Yena said, doing little claps hearing Yujin's answer.
"Now that I think about it, she does look like that dragon", Yujin said, giggling as she spots the similarities between the two. "Right?", Yena chimed in also giggling, agreeing with Yujin.
Meanwhile, while Yena and Yujin were in their own world, the others were listening to the conversation between Minju and the 'Light Fury' employee.
"Drop the formalities already, Yeji-unnie", Minju said with a bright smile. Yeji lightly laughed at that and opened her arms wide.
"I won't drop the formalities until you hug me... Its been a while since you last visited after all...", Yeji said with a grin as she waits for Minju to embrace her.
When Yeji said that, a certain girl wasn't exactly happy with it, Yuri who's watching the girl's reaction, nudged the girl's elbow, caching her attention.
"Didn't know you were a jealous type", Yuri said stifling a laugh as she looks at Chaewon teasingly. Chaewon was caught off guard by what Yuri said and she felt her cheeks slowly heating up. "No.. What do you mean?", Chaewon said, attempting to play dumb as she looked away from Yuri.
They heard Minju laugh heartily as she walked around the counter to embrace Yeji. Yeji grinned when Minju hugged her tightly. This caused Chaewon, who was watching it all happen, to cross her arms with a huff as she glared intensely at the 'Light Fury' looking girl.
"Pft-That's what I mean... Quit glaring at the poor girl, Chaewon-unnie", Chaewon heard Yuri mutter with a giggle from beside her. "No... I'm not jealous... Just curious, okay?", Chaewon retorted, as she placed her hand on the pockets of the hoodie she's wearing.
"Yeah... Nice excuse... Very believable...", Yuri said sarcastically while patting Chaewon's shoulder. Instead of retorting back again, Chaewon just sighed and shifted back her attention to the two girls in front of them.
The two girls are now chatting with each other, Minju forgetting that she has companions standing across the counter, as they get immersed in their own conversation. Chaewon had enough of that and decided to faked a cough, catching the attention of Minju who immediately looked at her.
"Oh right! Guys, this is Hwang Yeji an employee here which always helped me pick some outfits that I buy...", Minju introduced the girl beside her as Yeji bowed to them.
"Yeji-unnie, these are my friends Yena-unnie, Chaeyeon-unnie, Nako, Hitomi, Yuri, Yujin, Wonyoung and Chaewon-unnie", Minju continued as she pointed at them one by one, each of them bowing to Yeji with a smile, finishing with Chaewon who's just looking emotionlessly at Yeji.
"Chaewon-unnie are you okay?", Minju asked worriedly at Chaewon as the latter wasn't budging. Chaewon smiled and bowed at Yeji. "Nice to meet you, Yeji-ssi", Chaewon said with a hint of jealousy in her tone.
Fortunately, no one seems to notice it except for Yuri who just smirked while she looked down to the ground to hide it to the others. She just knew that her friend is so obviously jealous and she can't help but have fun watching her react.
"Well then we're going to look around and shop... Talk to you later, Yeji-unnie", Minju said as she waved her hand at the girl before gesturing to the other girls to follow her. With one last glance at the sharp-eyed girl waving back at Minju, Chaewon walked away and followed the others.
While they were shopping, they enjoyed looking at the gorgeous designs the shop has. By the time they're done looking around, each of them have an arm carrying a pile of clothes that they want to buy.
After choosing, they walked back to the counter where Yeji was waiting. "We're back!", Minju said as she headed towards Yeji, with the others following behind her. "Woah... That's a lot", Yeji muttered with a slight giggle as she looked at the amount of clothing they're carrying.
"How about let's play a game to find out who's going to pay?", Nako suggested. "Sounds fun!", Yujin exclaimed, which the others agreed on. "What kind of game are we playing?", this time it was Hitomi who's been silent since earlier asked the question.
"Credit card Roulette", Nako answered which intrigued the other girls, even Yeji. "We will all bring our credit cards to the counter table and shuffle it up a bit while Yeji-ssi looks away and then Yeji-ssi picks a credit card that will be used to pay for the clothes", Nako explained the game.
"Is it okay with you, Yeji-ssi?", Chaeyeon asked Yeji, concerned if ever the girl was feeling uncomfortable or anything like that around them.
"No, it's okay... It's been forever since I've been given a chance to play and have fun during work", Yeji said with a genuine smile on her face.
The girls brightened up in excitement as they all nodded in agreement. They brought all their wallets out before telling Yeji to turn around for a moment.
They all placed their credit cards with card covers on all of them on the counter table and noticed that their cards had their names on the lower part of the card covers and so they flip them over, hiding their names.
They shuffled it all a bit, the girls excited. After that, Minju tapped Yejivd shoulder and told her to pick a card.
"Well... Let's see...", Yeji mumbled, her hand hovering over the cards lined up on the table. "This one!", Yeji exclaimed as she picked up a card having a gray card cover on it and held it up.
She read the name written on the lower part of the cover aloud so the girls can hear her. "Kim Chaewon", Yeji stated and the girls clapped and jumped around, rejoicing that they're not paying.
Funny how they all rejoice at this because if you think about it, they are all pretty rich and are very capable to pay for the clothes.
"Finally, Kim Chaewon gets to pay!", Yena, who's the most happy about it, exclaimed as she jumped on Chaewon's back who's silently watching all of them with a blank face.
"Get off me, you duck!", Chaewon said, annoyed at her overjoyed cousin. Yena got off from Chaewon's back and stood near Yuri instead.
"So let's use this card for all your purchases then", Yeji said as she get ready to swipe the card on the credit card reader. Removing the card cover on Chaewon's credit card, the girls, except for Yujin, Chaewon, Chaeyeon and Yena, were astonished at her card.
"Yabai! Isn't that a black card?!", Nako exclaimed as she looked at the said card. "Woah... I didn't know Chaewon-unnie was that rich", Hitomi muttered.
"Yena has one too...", Chaewon said as she picked up Yena's card from the cards on the counter table and removed the card cover, revealing the black credit card.
"I have one too", Chaeyeon said as she slightly raised her hand. "Mine too", Yujin nonchalantly said. "Wah... Didn't know you guys were like rich rich, you know?", Nako said as she looked at the four girls.
After recovering from their shock, Yeji then gestured them to get their credit cards that's on the table. They all picked up their own cards one by one before putting them back in their wallets.
The reading was done and Yeji handed back the credit card to Chaewon. Chaewon puts back the card on her wallet.
"Oh! By the way, is Ms. Eunju here?", Minju asked Yeji. "She actually went out earlier, she said that she had a personal matter to attend to...", Yeji answered.
"Oh okay... Well then we'll get going now... See you again Yeji-unnie", Minju said as she waved to Yeji. "See you Minju-ah!", Yeji said as she waved back. "Thank you for shopping at #FBBELG! Please come again next time!", Yeji said as she bowed at them with a wide smile on her face.
The girls bowed back at Yeji before going out of the shop. Now they are certainly getting hungry and went straight in a restaurant, carrying all the bags of clothes they bought.
************************
Hyewon was resting on the sofa when the door of the house opened, shifting her attention on it she sees Shiwoo entering. Shiwoo was also wearing a suit but intead of it being gray like Hyewon's, his suit is black.
"Maam the car is now ready... We need to go", Shiwoo said as he walked towards Hyewon and bowing. Hyewon simply nodded and stood up, walking to the door with Shiwoo following behind her.
They got out and Shiwo went to open the door for Hyewon. Hyewon went in and sat silently on the back seat. Shiwoo then went to the driver's seat and started the engine of the car. They soon speeded off to her father's company.
Arriving at the company building, Shiwoo went out of the car first and opened the door for Hyewon again. Again, Hyewon went out silently, holding in an emotionless expression on her face.
The two went in the building and the employees immediately gawked at her. They were wondering who she was as she looks like someone so intimidating. They started murmuring among themselves and giving way to Hyewon.
Hyewon ignored all of them and just continued to walk her way to the office, Shiwoo acting like her bodyguard watching over her. While taking a turn, Hyewon failed to see the woman walking towards her, causing her to bump the woman.
The woman looked up at her and immediately bowed, intimidated by Hyewon's gaze. "Sorry Maam", The woman said, bowing down. Hyewon looked at Shiwoo as if asking who's the woman as she was not wearing an ID unlike the other employees they passed by earlier.
"I believe she's Ms. Lee Jieun from the Marketing Department Maam... She's the Cheif Marketing Officer of the company", Shiwoo said as he gestured at Jieun.
Jieun then looked at Shiwoo, also curious as to who's the intimidating woman that's with Shiwoo. Without speaking her thoughts, Shiwoo got what she meant. Shiwoo gestured at Hyewon before saying,
"This is Ms. Kang Hyewon, Maam Jieun... The daughter of Kang Donghyun"
