Hans Queen.

A 23 years old successful woman in her prime. Born without silver spoon, she carved her destiny through harsh and cruel reality of the world.

Her parents died when she was 7, leaving behind her as the older sister of 2 siblings. She always strives to become the best for her siblings, and to be their someone they could look up to.

In high school, she managed to score all test with flying colors. In college, she started her own club and lead the club to the path of greatness.

Although she is a strong woman outside, she is also a very kind and soft-hearted person on the inside. But not many are able to see this other side of her except for her siblings.

She works in a company that manages telecommunications. Given a position of site manager, she would always got headaches from how to control incompetent workers under her wings and to please her superiors.

Today, she was given a project to handle on a resorts island. Thank god it wasn't any sites that needs more details, only to record the statistics of the sites since there is no workers currently on the island so she has to go by herself.

She could send her workers but decided to go against it because the island is a resort, she was thinking to take a break along the way after finishing the sites visit.

The disappointing part is, when she was already on the plane, she got a called from her boss and got told that she needs to attend meetings after finishing the sites visit. Which then making her so feeling so down.

Talking about plane, she met a strange person that made her weirdly comfortable to be around with. This is the first time she ever felt this aside from her siblings.

She took her time talking to him, feeling the disappointment slowly fading away. When she was given the idea of taking a short break on a few occasions while doing her works, she was mesmerized by the stranger's smile.

Too caught up with his smile that she forgot to ask his name when they landed. He was already gone when she was searching for him in the airport.

" Ah-- So this one needs to be fix immediately before it shuts down on itself. " Hans wrote some words on her small notepad.

After checking for few more minutes just to make sure she doesn't leave anything unchecked behind, she leaves the site and headed for her accomodations.

Arriving at in front of the hotel, she saw someone she feels like she recognized. She was about to follow the person before she got distracted by a call from her one of her workers.

--

5 days has passed since then, and she never seen the person again.

Hans reach out to her bag and took the tequila she bought. As she enjoys the drink, her door was knocked.

Hans grumps slightly before she walk towards the door. She was greeted by a hotel staff who asked her if she needs extra services. ( Author : dat sounds wrong-- )

Hans shakes her head and says no, the hotel staff understood her and bow his head a little. A person suddenly walk pass behind the staff.

The face and figures registered in her eyes and her mind jolted itself to sober from the effects of tequila.

The hotel staff was already gone to the next room, Hans peek her head and look at where the person is. She keeps spying when she saw the person is opening a door not too far from her's.

' That's him...!!!!!! ' She screams in her head.

She scurried back inside and closed the door.

" How come I never see him if he's staying on the same floor as me--? "

Hans shakes the question off and observe her clothes. She really needs to change. Right now.

As Hans look at herself at the mirror, she nodded dumbly before she smiles to herself.

Wearing a comfortable yet elegant clothes would surely change someone's impression right?

She exits her room and walk to the person's room. She knocks a few times before she cough slightly to get her voice as gentle and soft as possible.

The door opens, Hans straighten her back and smiles, " Well hello there again~ "

Hephaestus stared as Hans tries to avoid his eyes. He takes a sip from his coffee as he continues staring.

" U-um-- Do I look weird? " Hans asked nervously, breaking the ice.

Hephaestus shakes his head before he chuckles, " No no, you look amazing--! It's just, I'm thinking how we never bump into each other if we're staying on the same floor? "

Hans respond the chuckles, " Well, I don't know too. Maybe because I'm always out--? "

" Ah! Yes, you said you was sent from your company to do-- works, right? " Hephaestus asked after he remembers their encounter on the plane.

Their conversation continues for a while. Not realizing the room got a bit warmer even with the A/C on.

--

"-- was he always like that?? " Hephaestus questioned with a frown.

Hans nodded with a sigh, " Unfortunately, my boss does. He is the type of person who is so strict and follows the rules everytime. "

Both of them suddenly got quiet as they gaze at each other's eyes. A few minutes has passed before Hans immediately realize they were staring. " I-I got works to do--!! Take care and see you!! "

She immediate runs to the door and exits Hephaestus' room when the latter just woke up from trance. " Huh--? Wait!! Her name!! "

He was about to jumps out from his seat before he realized it was too late. " Ah-- "
