░ pop, fizz, clink! ░ artemis, yiseul
E-Land Group’s annual charity gala was undoubtedly one of the most anticipated events on the social calendar. On this day, the business tycoons and key people of South Korea all gathered together to give back to the society by donating huge sum of money to a charity. This year’s selected organization was a nonprofit children’s group that provide free surgery and scholarship to children of low income.
Yiseul was proud of the good deeds that her family strive to commit, yet she couldn’t help but think the gala had lost its original intention, becoming more of an occasion for the wealthy to flaunt off their wealth. Nonetheless, she still enjoyed attending these events, mostly because of the people she got to talk to.
Clad in a bright yellow gown that cinched her waist all the right way, she sauntered around the ballroom, greeting people with a smile, a duty that bestowed upon her since her step-mother was still in the process of getting ready. By the fiftieth guest, she could feel her facial muscles slowly getting sore.
Rubbing her cheeks, her eyes settled on a figure that just entered the venue. “Artemis!” she shouted happily, waved her hand while jumping up and down on heels, if her mother, her real mother, was here and saw this, the woman would certainly shake her head in disapproval.
