Chapter - 17

Morning at work

A woman wearing a pair of high heels is walking in the Public Relations Department.

Black SH: Wooh, Yeon-daeri!..

Orange: Where're you going today?

That woman was FMC, she wears a high class dress and a Chanel bag.

Black SH: You're so beautiful!

FMC points her finger at herself and play the dumb girl.

FMC: Really? This is too much?

Orange and BSH laugh at what FMC asks them.

Orange: Hey, do you have a date tonight?.

FMC comes closer to Orange and whispers to her something, Glasses looks at them.

Orange: ...oh oh, really?!

Break room

FMC is pouring water in her cup thinking about what happened the other night.

FMC: {Ha.. well, it's not like me.. Too much happened so suddenly.}

FMC recalls what happened with FB "last night". FB grabs FMC's hand and looks at her, she is on the verge of tears.

FMC: {Well.. in the first place, our relationship was only on this level. It started suddenly, then ended abruptly like that.}

After drinking her cup of water she leaves the restroom and looks at MC's office door.

FMC: {This..}

She remembers her last meeting with MC and what she does to him..

FMC: {I blew it off before it even started...}

Rooftop / Office terrace

MC's sitting on a bench, alone, looking down.. Then MC hears two people coming.

Someone: .. about Yeonjin-daeri, it's such a shame!

The two people are Black hair (FMC's colleague) and Orange.

BH: Why would she need to use an app for dating, how many sane men would not go after her.

MC: {How shit.. I need to leave this place.}

MC hides behind a vending machine and looks at the two girls talking about FMC.

Orange: En, don't you know, it's been a while since the manager did not have a date? She was so excited about going to a nice and chic restaurant, it's a three stars place. (Michelin's Guide)

BH: Having a date there.. Do you know why this place is so famous?.

BH: You don't only drink there, you come for having a good night. (Literally fucking)

MC is startled by what BH says.

Orange: Oh really, anyway it doesn't concern us!

BH: Well, now I understand why the manager is so secretive about her date.

Orange: Yes.

They leave, MC is still looking down on the bench alone, thinking about something.

Evening - The Heaven

FMC is clinking her glass with her date then takes a sip of her cocktail.

FMC: Mmh, the taste of the cocktail is delicious. The view is pretty here.. the atmosphere is pretty good too.
I've to thank you for letting me know a good place like this.

They sit together next to the bar, the dude smiles at her.

Dude: That's fortunate. It's the first time that I come to this place.

FMC: {..Liar, don't you come here every week?}

FMC: Do you drink often?

Dude: Not really, I'm so busy with my work, what about Miss Yeonjin?

FMC: Oh.. me, me neither I hate loud place, I don't enjoy drinking too much.

She giggles saying that, remembering her previous night with the PR team and how drunk she was this night.

FMC: But it's okay to drink moderately in a quiet place.

The dude smiles hearing that..

Dude: Really? If you're okay.. I would like to come here with you more often in the future.

His smile and what he said causes her to blush a little. She looks away shyly and after a moment she finally answers him.

FMC: ..me too..

The dude smirks like your typical douche / rapist after hearing her answer.

Dude: Would you like another one?

FMC: Oh, I'll go to the bathroom for a second.

Dude: I'll order a cocktail for you, you can drink it after coming back.

FMC: Oh, then pick me a sweet one with champagne.

Dude: Yeah, leave it to me.

She stands up and heads toward the bathroom, meanwhile MC is siting not that far from them.

Bathroom

FMC arranges her makeup, thinking about the dude.

FMC: {Ah.. Coming here after working.. I'm so tired and I'm feeling uncomfortable in my clothes.}

{By the way, originally.. Do I really like this type of guys..?}

{Actually, you don't look like each other in real life..}

(TN: Meh here, don't know if she compares the dude to MC / FB or if she compares him to when she talked with him on the app these past few days.)

Bar

There is an incident in the bar.

Barmaid: Manager, hurry up!

FMC looks at the scene happening in front of her wondering what's going on.

Dude: Hey, why are you so upset about me?!

Someone: What? What?

Someone: Hmm is there a fight?

Barmaid: Oh, sir! Calm down and talk to me, calm down..!

MC grabs the dude by the collar angrily.

Dude: What, what do you want, who are you?

MC: I've seen everything, motherfucker!

FMC heads toward the cause of the ruckus and sees MC brawling with the dude.

FMC: {How.. how is it possible?!..}

FMC: You here. Explain what you did, hurry up!

MC turns his head and sees FMC heading toward them, the other dude is like a pussy thinking what to answer her.

Dude: .. Oh Miss Yeonjin! I don't know why but this guy suddenly attacked me..

She doesn't care about what the bitch is saying and she shouts at MC.

FMC: ..Yu-bujang!!

MC looks at the angry FMC..

FMC: What are you doing?!!

FMC is upset for whatever reason and stares at MC still holding the bitch by his collar.
