Ae Ri POV

I woke up to the sound of my alarm. I slept really bad, for I couldn't relax due to the job interview I'm about to have today. I took a quick shower and drank a cup of coffee, afraid that I'd later just throw up whatever I ate now.

"Breathe, Ri," I stood in front of a big mirror. My hair, now shoulder length and dyed black was straight. Knee length smart black dress and an average hills went great with my white leather purse.

"Everything will be alright, you got this," I said to my reflection while nodding before applying raspberry colored lipstick.

"Good" I smacked my lips together and smiled "I look good, it will all be good."

In despite of my positive attitude, my heart beat was unstable and my body felt numb. I don't know how I managed to drive to the company. It took me half an hour to get there because of how slow I was going, when it would normally take me 10 minutes.

The building of company was huge and modern, made of glass. I pulled out my phone and opened notes so I could see on which floor they've told me to go over the phone the other day and what to do.

The moment I stepped in, I was met with a few people going in different directions, none of them paying attention to me, except the man who was standing right beside the entrance and asking me why I am here. After explaining it to him he pointed me towards the elevator I should take and wished me luck.

I entered the elevator and pushed the number 17. The ride felt like forever and neon blue light of the elevator made me feel even more uneasy and insecure. I stared at my reflection in the mirror across the whole side of the elevator through the whole way up. I exited the elevator and saw a couple of people heading towards my direction.

"It was horrible."

"Yes, he looks so scary."

"Indeed he's intimidating. I don't think I can work in this kind of environment."

"The other guy was nice, the blond one. But the main one wasn't really."

They all looked like they went through hell. I noticed them carrying big portfolios just like I did so I decided to stop them.

"Excuse me, but were you just at the job interview? For that new project?"

"Yes, we were" the red haired girl said "I wish you all the luck, and don't look at the eyes of Mr. Kim. His glare is so scary. And he's arrogant too."

The others nodded and continued their way. I was beyond stressed now. I wanted to turn around and run away, but first, I needed this job. Second, it sounded interesting and seemed like a dream. Third, I was way to curious. So I knocked on the door and opened them after hearing the person from the other side say "Come in."

"Hello" the blond male sitting at a big round table said "Come, sit" he pointed at the chair across him.

"Hello" I nodded and smiled while taking my seat.

"We need to wait just for a moment until the other guy comes, he went to the restroom" the guy smiled friendly.

He looked so young and relaxed, so I assumed he was not the notorious Mr. Kim.

"My name is Baekhyun by the way" he said and looked at the notes in front of him "May you please hand me your portfolio?"

He gestured towards the big fascicle I had with myself and I nodded, pushing it to the other side of the table.

"Here, but these are all old and I don't do hand work for a year now. I do everything over the computer so here, look at this too." I said and gave him a tablet too.

"Okay, thanks." he said as the door behind me opened and someone stepped in "Oh you are back" he looked up at the person who entered "May I get your real name too? I mean, I have to know it so..."

I knew that that must be that intimidating guy so I wanted to keep my cool and just go on with a normal conversation, but the moment I opened my mouth to reply to the given question I got interrupted.

"I didn't sing up for this..." the man sighted and I heard the flipping of the papers, he was probably goings through some documents "She's the last one right? Why do they even bring stuff on papers? Nothing is done on papers anymore..."

My eyes widened as I immediately recognized the deep voice filled with boredom and arrogance.

"Yes, come-"

"Taehyung?" I cut off the blonde man and turned around in my seat so I could see the man that was back facing me.

He was in a black suit and his hair was fluffy and brown.

"Do we know each other?" he turned around and looked at me in confusion, leaving me speechless and uncomfortable.

"Um, I-"  I didn't know how to react.

"Oh, I see, you two went to the same high school" blondie laughed while looking at my CV.

"Yeah, that must be it." Taehyung replied and sat next to his colleague.

"Kim Ae Ri" he read out loud my name and the electricity ran down my spine.

"Yes" I tried to sound natural.

He got the tablet in his hands and slide through it for a couple of seconds while nodding.

"Good, you look like you know what you're doing, I mean your visualization is good" he turned the screen showing me very graphic scene and my face went red.

"Oh, that's good, by far the best one I've seen here" the blond guy said while smiling.

"Thanks" I smiled back.

"Okay, we're done." Taehyung closed the fascicle and notes and got up.

"We are?" Baekhyun was confused.

"Yeah, take these" Taehyung shoved papers into his colleague's hands "And take them to the boss. I'll wait until she feels up the papers."

"Oh, okay" the guy got up, took the documents and left.

When I was sure he was enough far away from the door so he couldn't hear us I decided to talk.

"What was that Tae? I know why you acted like that tho, it wouldn't seem so good if everyone knew about our history, but-"

"Shut up please." he said and came around the table towards me "I missed that little mouth of yours" he leaned against the table next to me and bent down a little so he could whisper into my ear "What have I told you? You'll always find your way back to me... baby girl."
