a starter for @strawbxrryblxssxms​ [ mirae && haku ] 

ambitious is a word that mirae thinks best describes her. pushing the envelope is apparently a thing now, and she’s been doing that since high school. of course, back then, she had no choice but to keep pushing that envelope. and pushing. and, well, pushing. even with the comfortable life she has now, nothing seems to be enough; she’s still looking for new projects to immerse herself with. maybe all this work obsession is her being escapist, but on the upside, she’s at least doing things she’d never have had time for if she had been stuck with a desk job. 

take, for instance, this meeting with a male clothing model; probably, she’d never have even gotten close to knowing of him, let alone meeting him, if she had been stuck in her dumb little hometown with all the conservatives. being where she is now has filled up her phone’s contact list exponentially, and she’s grateful for all these connections to who-knows-where. 

still, business is business.

“i’m glad you had a little time to meet me,” she leans forward, lacing her fingers together atop the table between them. there’s shitty elevator music playing in the cafe’s stereo system, and the tracks skip here and there, but otherwise, this place is... quaint. maybe. “i know you must be busy, so i hope this offer is at least worth your time and, uh, skill. i’m mirae; i own an intimate fashion line.”

intimate fashion. what an obnoxious way to say lingerie.

“recently, i’ve been thinking about expanding, not just internationally, but also in terms of variety. long story short, i want to make a male line, and i need an excellent model. you look like a very likely candidate for that position, if you’re interested.”

a starter for @jaerden​ -- lucas && mirae

honestly, the transfer is a secret relief to mirae. mr. wong is an okay boss, but he’s not stellar at much else apart from making money, and running his errands is tiring and mechanical. there’s also that weird generation gap that comes from her not understanding his choice of words most of the time, but she thinks that’s probably more her problem than his. she’s glad that, between his two secretaries, she’s the younger, newer one, and is likely more expendable to him, which is why he instructs her to hand over all of her files to the older secretary and greet his son as her new, immediate boss the following day. 

when mirae greets him, it’s with genuine happiness; she finds that mr. wong junior is closer to her age than to her dad’s, and he seems a lot nicer, too. not to mention he’s easy on the eyes. the only problem she can see with working with him is actually that he’s good looking, which can’t be safe for her heart or her insurance. 

still, despite all of her brain’s warnings, she can’t help but like the way he quietly calls her name when he needs something he doesn’t fully understand the mechanics of done, and she likes how big his eyes are when she presents him with sales reports and notes for upcoming projects. she especially likes the way his lips form around his words, like he’s careful with each one, except she also finds herself dangerously thinking about how nice those lips would feel against her skin. 

she thinks she might never find out, though, given that he’s never seemed to show any kind of interest in anyone in this office building, except for maybe his own dad (but that’s more principle than attraction) -- at least, from what she’s seen, he’s too caught up in his own desire to learn about what to do in this position that he neglects his personal desire for girls. 

maybe it’s not the best course of action employment-wise, but from a human needs perspective, it might make sense for mirae to opt out of her standard blazer-and-slacks outfit choices and sacrifice comfort for style on just one day, choosing to wear something sheerer on top and something a lot shorter below. she doesn’t really know if she catches his eye when she enters the office, but the little noise -- whatever it was -- that comes from the back of his throat is at least indicative of his acknowledgement when she moves closer, folders in hand and a bright smile on her face.

 “i have last week’s sales reports, sir, and we also have a new software launch to prepare for this week. which would you like to talk about first?”
