𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐇 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐎𝐍𝐋𝐘 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐋𝐘 come into some amount of affluence, but that didn't mean they chose to live in a home to show for it. Even still, they couldn't say no to a party. Usual friendgroup in tow, Finch was about as he expected -- bored Ready for the next thing, the next event. "The least they could do is provide a quality selection of alcohol." He mutters, crossing his arms as he looks to the person next to them. "I feel like I'm at a middle school dance. No one's even dancing."
" first house party ? pretty sure the only time anyone dances is in the movies , " minjun jokes lightly . he swirls around the contents of his red solo cup , a staple at any party regardless of the price tag on the house , before finishing up the remainder in a single shot . " come on --- i'll let you in on a little secret about these kind of places . " he pushes off from the wall he's leaning against , and with a tilt of his head motions for the other to follow . " before we go though , you need to promise this stays between me and you . i can't have all my party tips and tricks spreading around town . "
‘ YOU SAY A BAD BUSINESS DECISION FOR ME — but it sounds like a good one for you , assuming you don’t drop me after this ‘ the last part comes with a slight curl upwards of her lip . for a moment , she can’t tell if he’s half lecturing her , or teasing but chooses to go with the latter and offers her own bit of sarcasm in return , ‘ but some of them are really temping , i mean , who wouldn’t want to meet gorgeous singles within the five mile radius ? all they need is my credit card information and i can access profiles for all of them ‘ even she can’t keep a straight face with that , laughing at her own joke . truth be told , she likes to think that she’s already found a gorgeous single in her immediate space , but she’s not about to say that outloud . when he mentions food though , her stomach already reminds her that she’d skipped lunch and dinner was still a few hours away , ‘ ricci’s ? i can’t let you go to a place like that all by yourself . it would be rude since you’ve been such a big help . what time ? ‘
" drop you ? nah --- you're safe in these hands , renata . " the shameless flirting started after the second visit to her flower shop , a habit of minjun's that became a bit more purposeful after visit number four . his brother would tell him not to mix business with pleasure but the beauty of running your own business was the rules were his to make . and so he can't help but feel a rush of joy at renata accepting his dinner invitation , as casual as he made it sound . " let's say around eight o'clock ? i have a few more calls to get to today and then i can come pick you up from your place . "

“Don’t feel too bad about me beating your score,” It was one of the few things Casper actually had confidence in. “I’ve been the only person to keep the top score on this machine since I moved here, pretty much. The plus side of having like five friends is you have a lot of time to practice your gaming skills.”
" you win some , you lose some i guess . " minjun wasn't in the habit of losing but he wasn't exactly going to lose any sleep over it either . he gives the arcade machine another quick tap of a button before pushing his attention onto casper . " be honest , you have one of these in your house and that's why you've gotten so good at it . "
Chase turns around to look over towards the person coughing. He parts his lips to ask them if they are okay when the question leaves his mouth. He drops his gaze down towards the wallet in the other’s hand. “Yeah.” He furrows his brow as he reaches out and takes the wallet from him. “Damn dude… You probably saved me millions of phone calls and time.” He chuckles. “You gotta let me buy you a beer or somethin’.”
" not really necessary but sure , i'll never say no to a drink , " minjun replies as he closes out of the work on his laptop . the luxury of working for himself is he can call it a day whenever so getting a beer with a friend in the middle of the afternoon wouldn't lead to any consequences . " where are you thinking ? "
"So long story short, I didn't get the part I wanted or even my second choice..." Noelle sighed before shaking her head. "But I'm in the play and that's the silver lining I'm going to focus on until my drink comes. How was your day?"
" not a bad silver lining and hey , if you need someone to take the lead out , i happen to know a guy . " minjun offers a smile to show that's joking , an attempt to make her feel somewhat better for things not going her way . " maybe the show is going to get terrible reviews and you dodged a bullet , you know ? " he reaches for one of the two drinks freshly placed between them , tipping it in her direction before savoring a sip .
bradley turned to where the voice came from and walked back. he patted his pocket and felt like there’s something missing. “yes, thanks, i think i’d be pretty lost without that.” if he were to lose that, he would’ve felt horrible, just to tack onto his day. he held his hand out to take it back. “what would you have done if someone didn’t claim it?” he didn’t want to come off as if his id wasn’t in there, because it certainly was.
minjun raises a brow at the question as he hands the wallet back , head tilting slightly before he gives his shoulders a shrug . “ taken the cash out of it , seen if there was anything else inside worth taking , then turn it in to the front so they can hold onto it in case the owner came back . ” minjun lifts his coffee and takes a slow drink , keeping his eyes focused on the other until he sets the cup back down . “ that’s a joke , by the way . ”

‘ YOU PROBABLY THINK I’M SOME KIND OF IDIOT ‘ she’s leaned just over his shoulder , watching while minjun works on the POS system that mysteriously went down earlier this morning ( and by mysteriously , she means that perhaps she intentionally clicked on a spam email to crash it ) ‘ i mean , i’ve done everything i could think of , i rebooted , unplugged , waited , plugged it back in , even restarted the router , and it’s just … ‘ she gestures towards the screen as she straightens herself to an upright position , and shifts to lean on an open space on her desk with a defeated sigh ( perhaps she missed her calling to become an actress ) ‘ this has to be the what … sixth time you’ve been here this month ? you have got to start blocking my calls eventually , right ? ‘
" sounds like a bad business decision , you've become my top customer this month . " minjun looks away from the computer screen briefly to flash a smile at renata , an instant reaction to being in the other's presence . " the news is that it's an inexpensive fix , i just needed to upgrade your virus protection . a word of advice , maybe avoid clicking on suspicious links , " he teases . minjun thinks she already knows better , and maybe it's his ego thinking for him but it feels like an excuse to have him back in her shop , one he gladly takes advantage of . " you should be all set , i can tell the masses outside that they can be rung up for their flowers once more . and , maybe i'm wrong but i have a feeling you're going to be hungry after all that work . i was thinking of heading to ricci's tonight --- want to join me ? "
milani’s juggling too many things at once, per usual. she’s got her wallet, keys, phone, and a fairly hefty medical textbook while juggling her regular order of a sugary iced coffee. lani believes she’s got everything under control, but that’s only ‘til she realizes her wallet’s missing and she’s currently running late. she spins around in a panic, her face full of terror. lani lets out a exasperated breath when her eyes fall upon a familiar face holding her coach wristlet. “ oh my god, minjun. i thought i got robbed. ” she rests her belongings on the corner his table then places her hand over her chest to feel her heart beating a mile a minute. “ what’re you doing here ? ”
“ maybe i’ve taken up a new job as a thief and this is my way of telling you , ” he offers with a cheeky smile . minjun takes the wristlet and sets it atop the pile of her things on his table , happy to make room for a familiar face . “ caffeinating like everyone else , and doing a little work --- i thought a change of scenery would help me focus better but . . . let’s just say i’ve been staring at the same work order for about half an hour and have gotten no where with it . what has you moving like the road runner ? ”
“Did I drop this? You even need to ask?” As per usual, Sunny was attempting to do way too many things all at once, which naturally led to them pretty much juggling as they jumped into the queue. “Thanks…” they added with a laugh. “You know me, I’m useless.”
“ useless is pretty harsh , ” minjun comments as he sets her wallet down on the edge of his table since her hands were full . he glances towards the line at the register before nodding towards the empty chair across from him . “ that seat is free if you’re planning on sticking around after you grab your drink , might as well set your stuff down . the next person who picks it up may not be as nice as me , ” he jokes with a soft laugh .

the sight of the wallet on the floor pulls minjun’s attention away from the computer screen in front of him . he glances to see someone standing nearby , oblivious to the item on the ground . with a sigh he leans down to pick it up , pulling one airpod free from his ear as he coughs slightly to get their attention . “ did you drop this ? ”

“Is it weird to be looking at souvenirs when you live here?” The question was half muttered to himself, but Benny was sort of actually asking. “I haven’t really lived here that long, and I’m dying to actually decorate the apartment.”
“ personally i think of wall of all the big ben paperweights you can find across the city would make for an interesting art piece --- definitely a conversation starter when people come over . ” minjun plays catch with one in his hand before extending it out to benny , brows raised as he expects the other to take it . “ oh come on , you know it would look cool , don’t act like it’s not the best idea you’ve heard all day . ”
Aly stood in the shop, looking for something special to gift to her eldest son. She had felt she hadn't shown him as much attention as her younger two and thought a small token would show that she had thought of him that day. Picking up a snow globe laid on top of a shelve, she turned it slowly. "It's pretty, isn't it?" She asked the person nearby her. "My father used to bring me one home every time he'd come back from work on the road. I don't think a 15 year old boy would be very fond of receiving one though."
the calendar reminder on minjun’s phone did exactly what it was meant too , remind him that his favorite client’s birthday was a day away and per usual --- he had yet to purchase a gift . typically he would lean towards something luxury but he picked up on the knick knacks that this client had decorating their desk which left him in front of a wall of paperweights and the likes of . he holds a miniature statue of a cat going fishing when the other in the aisle speaks towards him and he glances at the snowglobe in her hand . “ speaking from experience , as i was once a fifteen year old boy , i would have wanted to find out how high i could drop it without it breaking until it finally did . so if you are looking to gift him an experience then i say go with the snowglobe . ”

𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘
minjun grew up in a wealthy family , establishing a preference for a more luxurious lifestyle at a young age . despite being raised with money , his parents ensured he understood work ethic and never handed things to him without having earned them first . because of his social status , minjun often doesn’t attempt to make friends . he keeps a close circle of those he trusts while being distant to those who would come and go from their lives .
others perceive him as being cold , stuck up , and even arrogant though in reality minjun is guarded . when he does accept someone into his life , minjun is warm towards them and very social . his affection is delivered in sarcasm and subtle gestures . many would describe him as debonair , venturesome , intelligent , and aloof .
