This was originally published on Lovers Unparalleled. It was one of those stories that kinda just – happen. I don't know how long this story will be, I'm mostly winging it. If you have noticed, this story is rated T – partly because of language and the other because of an upcoming chapter which will be really hard for me to write. Still, this makes some people I know really happy, so, I'm going to see to it to the bitter end.

THAT! The petite brunette grimaced as she shouted in her mind. Her hands were holding onto both edge of the table. Around her were complete silence, complete silence as if the world had stopped moving. Damn it! She cursed in her head again. It was the same thing over and over again. Male ego won over her ego. What do they take her for? She was just as talented and as sharp as the next guy. Men! She grunted in her head. She can't believe how her day was ruined just because of one person, so much about gender equality. Equality my... She stopped herself before the word even jump to the front of her head. They don't deserve it, not even her anger. They're not worth her getting all worked up over. Out of anger, she punched the table sharply before straightening herself. She had to get over it.

"Ga Eul!" A voice traveled through the room followed by a hard slap on the petite brunette's back, throwing her off, causing her to jerk forward. Sharp gasped filled the space as another silence ensues. Their eyes fixated on the petite brunette and the other who had just walked in. "Why the long face?" The newcomer chide happily, clearly not reading into the situation. Turning slowly, the petite brunette named Ga Eul came to face with the newcomer. "Geum Jan Di," She enunciated each syllable of the newcomer's name. "Yes," Jan Di replied, still obliviously of to what it was that was eating up her friend. "Did anyone ever tell you that you have the worse timing in the world?" Ga Eul added, her tone was bordering on homicidal. Don't get her wrong, she loves her friend, it was just that Jan Di... Well, Jan Di was too optimistic to the point of foolishness.

"You do, all the time," Jan Di replied easily, still completely clueless. She was definitely not the brightest one in the room, but, everyone loved her. She was kind and hardworking. Ga Eul grimaced at her friend's respond. If they hadn't been friends, she would have, without a doubt, beheaded her Jan Di right there and then. Instead, she opted on a more civil manner of dealing with the woman. "What do you want?" She asked, trying hard to repress her anger. A large smile spread across Jan Di's face. "It is lunch time, I thought you'd want to eat together," She replied happily, tugging on her friend's arm. "Right," Ga Eul replied, allowing her friend to pull her along, leaving behind a room filled with flabbergasted men, surprised at how things turned out to be.

"Yo, man!" A copper coloured hair man barked as he entered the lounge, plopping down onto a seat without waiting an invitation. Within seconds, a waiter appeared, as if out of thin air. "Scotch, straight up," He ordered without waiting and the waiter disappeared just as fast as he had appeared. "A little early for a drink, don't you think, Woo Bin?" A dark haired man sitting across from him commented. "Never too early for a drink, Yi Jeong," He replied easily with a smirk spread across his face. To Woo Bin's left, a blonde man chuckled as he sipped his own drink. Coke, he was sensible, of course he would be drinking coke. To his right, a curly haired man smirked, leaning into his chair casually, letting the juice before him left untouched.

"What is it this time?" the man named Yi Jeong asked casually. "She was filing a divorce to be with you?" He guessed, like always, his guesses turned out to be accurate, leaving Woo Bin scowling. "Something like that," Woo Bin replied, trying to sound casual. "What about you?" Woo Bin asked, pointing at the Bourbon before Yi Jeong. A chuckle escaped Yi Jeong's lips. "Same ol', same ol'," He replied easily. He knew exactly what was it that was playing in Woo Bin's mind. They knew each other too well. After all, they had been friends for as long as any of them could remember. Yet, their lives couldn't be more different than the other. It was the case of the Good, the Bad, the Stupid and the Shadow. Yet, they understood each other too well.

"Blew up in your face?" Woo Bin guessed, earning a smirk from Yi Jeong. "Well, at least it's not literal," Yi Jeong stated easily. "Well, even if it did, you know, Ji Hoo could always fix it for you," Woo Bin taunted easily. The blonde hair man chuckle slightly when his name was brought into the mix. "I'm a neurosurgeon, not a plastic surgeon," He stated helpfully. A quick exchange of stares ensues and after a moment the three burst into a fit of laughter, leaving the one smirking boringly.

"Wahhh... I'm so full!" Jan Di exclaimed, holding the chopsticks into the air. Around them other patrons turned to look, surprised by the enthusiastic statement. "Are we done here?" Ga Eul asked impatiently, she had basically chomped down all her food, trying to eat in a hurry only to find Jan Di taking her own sweet time. She should have known her friend better, but, well... Jan Di was grinning widely, brushing her sleeves over her mouth. "Yes," She stated happily. Of course, to Jan Di, food could solve a lot, even problems. It was probably good that the woman had a high metabolism or she would turn into a blimp. Ga Eul could only groan inwardly at the thought.

"So, what's wrong?" Jan Di asked suddenly, placing the chopstick back on the table with her gaze fell onto Ga Eul. Damn. Ga Eul thought privately. She should have seen it coming. Classic Jan Di, if Ga Eul thought she was the only one who could pull something on Jan Di, she knew she was wrong. Jan Di could be frantic, clueless, but at times, when it matters most, she was far from it. Groaning, Ga Eul leaned back into her chair. "Nothing," She mumbled uneasily. If she thought she could lie to her friend and get away with it... Wait... She could... But...

"So, are we going to talk about the eagle in the room or not?" The curly haired man asked casually. His three friends could only scoff at his statement. "I think you meant 'elephant', Jun Pyo," Woo Bin offered. "Idiot, how can we fit an elephant into this room?" Jun Pyo barked back, earning a small chuckle from Yi Jeong while Woo Bin and Ji Hoo could only shook their head. Of course, he was Jun Pyo after all. No one would have believed that he was the CEO of the Shinwha Corporation if his face hadn't been plastered on the face of every magazine known to men. No one would believed he build the company from ground up after his father had burn it down either, but, then again, maybe that's why it worked.

Woo Bin's drink came just in time, serve as a distraction for Jun Pyo from throwing tantrums. "Risks?" Yi Jeong asked, changing the subject, just as the waiter disappeared. It could take them ten lifetimes to argue over Jun Pyo inability to properly use the correct idioms. "Aren't there always?" Woo Bin stated easily; he was leaning back into his seat. "Fun?" Yi Jeong changed his question with a small chuckle. "Do you even need to ask?" Ji Hoo replied easily, earning a smirk from his friends. "I guess not," Yi Jeong stated. Fun...
