Upside Down

Ch-7 Star company

Ch-7 Star company

Jul 16, 2026

Vivi woke up at 6AM, learning from her past mistakes. She rushed to get ready, but in her rush she forgot now she had pepper to take care of. Pepper was still asleep, curled up in a corner of the bed. Vivi did not want to ruin her peace but she had no other choice. She picked Pepper up, trying to figure out where will she keep it while at work, then it suddenly struck her that today she had to go at star company. 
"Maybe she could give pepper to someone else, or maybe it should have a room for pets" Vivi thought.
Wasting no further time, she picked Pepper up and stuffed it in her tote bag carefully. She ran off to the bus stop, today the weather was clear, no beautiful sunshine or birds chirping gently but it was atleast not pouring. 

Vivi boarded the bus, the bus was filled with many people. She hugged her tote bag bringing it closer to her, in case somebody accidentally squished Pepper. She got off the bus quickly when her stop arrived. Vivi walked few steps, unlocking her smartphone to search star company on google map. She followed the directions on map and reached in about ten minutes. The star company looked nothing like a normal building, it was a luxurious building, even more fancier than her hotel. She wondered what kind of people she would meet there, they would have to be rich rich to live in such fancy looking building. 

Vivi just set a foot inside when the receptionist asked, 'Is there anything I can help you with?'
Vivi turned around to look where the voice came from, 'Oh, I'm sorry can you repeat?' she asked.
'I need your ID to let you inside, Miss.' the receptionist demanded.
'Oh yeah!' Vivi paused to rummage through her tote bag, 'Here, I am Violette Hart a nurse and here's the card your manager gave me'
The receptionist carefully inspected her card and clicked some keys on her keyboard, 'Welcome ma'am, you have to go to the fifth floor' she said, her tone changing to polite.
'Thank you very much and well er...Do you by any chance have an area for keeping pet animals?' Vivi asked pausing after each word, " A fancy building as such should have one right?" she thought in her mind.
'Oh! Yes we do, do not worry Miss, you can hand your in our animal care, our caretakers will look after it. Just turn right from here and you will see it' the receptionist replied.
Vivi sighed feeling relieved, 'Thanks a bunch' she said and set off to where the receptionist directed her.

There was a big board with Korean letters on it, Vivi could not read Korean but she guessed it was the animal care the receptionist was talking about, as it had a picture of a dog and there were some sounds which sounded to be coming from animals. She peeked inside, many dogs and cats were playing there, seperated by a barricade. Two ladies dressed in khaki clothes with a hat, looking like jungle safari adventurers were entertaining the animals. One of them noticed Vivi peeking in, 'Hey! How may I help you?' she said waving at Vivi, grabbing her attention.
'Oh, yes...yeah, so the receptionist said you could help me keeping me cat,' Vivi said, taking Pepper out of her tote bag.
The caretaker gently took Pepper from Vivi's hands, she held it while caressing it, 'He looks like such a quiet boy! Rarely have i seen cats so silent and peaceful.'
'Haha, yeah, he is very cooperative.' Vivi said, first time knowing the gender of her cat. She felt like a parent who just got a gender reveal of their baby.
'You might probably be running late Miss, I will take good care of him,' the caretaker said, with a reassuring smile.

Vivi thanked the caretaker and sprinted towards the lift, pressing the button to fifth floor. She kept nervously seeing the time every second on her phone, as the lift moved each floor up taking its lovely time. Each floor up made her feel a wave of goosebumps and a knot twisting in her stomach. The lift made a ding-dong sound as it reached the fifth floor, Vivi stepped out the lift, the corridor decorated with fancy warm lights and indoor plants. 
She went closer to the brown door carved beautifully and pressed the fancy doorbell switch beside it.

'Oh, hehe so you're here' an unfamiliar voice spoke from a box which looked to be a speaker below the doorbell.

The door opened with a clicking sound, a tall and handsome man stood there wearing casual pajama and tees.
Vivi could not look away and wondered how could a person look so good even in casual clothes. 
 
'Are you not gonna come in?' the man asked, smirking.
'Oh, yeah...sorry I was just...nevermind' 
Vivi could not figure out how to talk to him. The man beckoned Vivi towards the couch. 

'Well, I am Junghoon,' the man said, 
'And I am-' Vivi spoke as Junghoon intervened and said, 'Yes, Violette Hart. I know, we just met yesterday'

Vivi blushed a little as she did not expect him to still remmeber her name, 'I am glad you still remember' 
'How can I not, your name sounds unique. Anyways I will get the boys you can set up for the check-up routine,' Junghoon said as he left prancing to call the other four.
Vivi sat there waiting, not able to tell whether she was nevous because of a new place or the boys themselves. She got up, taking out her equipments for the check-up and sat there waiting for them to show up.
