18 days until the concert.

08:00 AM

Somewhere in the distance you heard a notification from your phone, but yesterday you drank too much with Jun and getting out of bed was too much of a problem now.

"It's your lucky day" Jun burst into the room with two mugs of hot coffee.
You grimaced slightly.
"Chicken soup would help me more." You muttered to her and covered yourself with the entire duvet.
"Certainly not at 8 am." Jun laughed, put the coffee on the table, and then forcibly took the quilt from you.
You yelled something back at her, but somehow you got out of bed and started slurping your coffee.

You found the phone and lazily went through all the notifications.

14 new e-mails.
4 SMS messages.
@jungkook.97 added a post to Instagram
7 missed calls from HR
promotion for laboratory equipment
new merchandise available on the Weverse Shop

Your eyes haven't fully opened yet.
Wait a minute, wait. Come back.

@jungkook.97✔️?!

You opened Instagram in a hurry.

rkive✔️: Again?!
uarmyhope✔️: @rkive✔️ He will never stop. :D

"Oh" came out of your mouth. "Jun, JK got a new tattoo. I burn like a torch with excitement. I hope he will show off this tattoo. If not, I'll ask him for it on a fansign." you dreamed a little.

Jun was looking at you with a slight amusement, but it's a fact, you will have your 5 minutes with JK, so you can ask for anything you want. She thought about how she should play her five minutes with RM.

When the coffee finally started working, you decided that, despite your vacation, you would contact the company, because 7 missed calls from HR were not an everyday situation.

You sat back and called Celeste's headquarters.

"Good morning, Miss Ye Rim. I'm so sorry to bother you so early. Miss Jun didn't answer her phone either."
You became even more interested. Since both of you were called, something must have happened.
"It's alright. Has something happened?" you asked, trying to be neutral.
"We received an unusual offer. Of course according to our policy, I refused immediately. However, it was strongly urged, that I submit the offer personally to both ladies."

"Offer inconsistent with company policy, so probably a perfume on request?"
"Yes, exactly. But ..."
You harshly interrupted. Maybe a bit rude, but absolutely everyone in this company is well aware of the fact, that the company's policy is sacred and that no exception is made here for anyone.

"Mrs. Jisoo." you started in a stern tone. "You must understand that we do not prepare perfumes on individual request. And absolutely no offer will change that. Please, do not let this happen again. I thought you knew me a little better."

The woman stammered an apology, a little shaky, and hung up. You hated being a sharp boss, but you hated even more when someone tried to bypass the rules at all costs. And these were as bright as the sun.

"Jun" you started morosely. When you heard a soft humming sound in response you added: "I think we should check into the company. It seems, that it is starting to descend into chaos."
Jun raised an eyebrow.
"You can't stay out of work for more than 3 days, right?" she laughed, but nodded in agreement.
"Give me half an hour and I'll be ready." she added, then disappeared into her room.

But it definitely wasn't half an hour.
You had showered, had breakfast, and tapped out the whole symphony with your fingers, and Jun was still not ready.
"I'll wait for you in the car" you threw into the air and left the building.

"You're shamelessly flirting with this guy" Jun laughed as she followed the comments while you drove the car.

"Nothing sinful in that, after all. You can see for yourself that he's a flirt. Let's have a little fun."

Daehyung_6678: totally understand you bro
Ye.Rim✔️: you are looking for peace and inside you are such a rascal:P
not.jungkook97: @ Ye.Rim✔️ rascal? You could use rogue or bad boy. But rascal? Yaaah you crossed your line ! :D
Ye.Rim✔️:  I'd tell you to come and punish me, but I'll probably be asleep by then and wake up with a new photo on instagram. So yeah rascal it is

You laughed at this comments exchange, even though you were a little eager at the thought of punishment for insults.

@not.jungkook97 "This time I'll wake you up. Don't worry about that."

A strange shiver ran through your body.

Challenge?

@Ye.Rim✔️ "Cheap talk. Come and get me."

You've entered the company. All eyes were on you.

Jisoo must have told the staff, that you were angry, but no one was expecting you here today. There was a slight panic in the company.
Jisoo went pale as soon as she noticed you.

"Miss Ye Rim" she started stuttering a little. "I wasn't expecting you here today. I left the folder with today's offer in your office, I'm already running to throw it away."
But before she could turn around, you sighed deeply and put your hand on her shoulder.
"You don't have to. I'll take care of it myself. Please return to your duties."

Jisoo left, and you walked into the office. You flopped down in your comfortable leather armchair. You twirled on it several times and then you ran your fingertips over the black folder, that was placed on your desk.

You opened it involuntarily.

"So...Offer."

Dear Ye Rim & Jun

We would like to invite you, to create a luxurious and extremely limited edition of perfumes.

So below we present the idea of creating 7 completely different fragrances.Each of them would be composed in harmony with the character of their final owner.The design of the glass, in which the perfume is supposed to be fitted, should match the appearance and personality of the person for whom it is created.Despite the variety, we would like all the bottles to somehow resonate with each other. So that all 7 can be closed in a sophisticated packaging and labeled: Seven Wishes.

We are fully aware, that you do not accept individual orders.

Therefore, we have prepared an adequate remuneration proposal for such an exception.

For each bottle we propose $ 1,000,000, which is 7 million dollars for the entire collection.

If you decide, to even initially, consider our offer, I will send you relevant additional information.

Best regards,

H.

Moments later you burst into your friend's office and threw a folder on her desk.

"I think we just broke the most important rule." You muttered to her, still in shock.
