KNOCK 

So Ye-jin heard a sharp tap on her door while working on a design for a client whose wedding was in two weeks' time.

"Yes?"

A head slid through the crack on the door to show a pixie haired woman in white cotton jumpsuit with a prominent gold safety pin that held the front collar in place, she had gold hopped earrings and nude acrylic nails. Not looking up from the project that she was working on, So Ye-jin kept sketching the outline of the design for the wedding dress using a software on her computer while absent mindedly twisting her raven hair.

"Ye-jin! Come on, let us go! Everyone has left for the day."

Shin Min-ah urged the woman that was sitting behind a desk, wearing a black elbow length V-necked shirt and dark knee length leather skirt.

"Big sister, is 7 already?!" asked So Ye-jin in disbelief.

"This is why I can't leave you alone, one of these days you will work yourself to death!"

The junior partner at YE-JIN bridals reprimanded the brains behind the successful brand that had graced the covers of big magazines in Seoul as well as internationally.

"I am trying to finish the sketch then on Monday I can source for the fabric at ARABEIL, that will take up the entire day. That's the part of this job that I hate the most."

So Ye-jin winced as the thought of spending the day shopping for supplies that she will need to make the dream wedding dress for her client. Under the desk her dark open-toed pumps littered the hardwood floor.

"Make sure to lock up after yourself, the last time you didn't. My concern is not the dresses but personal information of customers that could be stolen and used to defraud them of their valuables."

"I will be mindful to keep the doors locked, Big sister."

"Keep up the good work and don't forget to attend the company dinner at Bupyeong joint, be there by 6 pm sharp! Put it on the calendar that is in your phone or work calendar just don't give me the excuse that you forgot."

Shin Min-ah released the door to shake her index finger in warning to a serial defaulter. So Ye-jin saw how intently Shin Min-ah was looking at her, this caused her to feel a wave of guilt from the times that she would give lame excuses for her absences at social gatherings set up by the company. Pink in the face, So Ye-jin picked up her phone to enter the event and time.

"It is done, I now have it stored on my phone. I will be there for the company dinner."

"See you on Sunday."

As soon as she heard the promise from the younger woman, Shin Min-ah gave a winsome smile and waved at her before proceeding to shut the door. The ominous sound was lost on So Ye-jin who continued to work on her current project.

A pair of white stilettos moved down the stairs in a dark symphony to the humming sound that came from the one who wore them.
