🪐 — KANG SAE-BYEOK for katiana !
she shakes her head in answer to the question, while glancing at the box of sweets with something close to suspicion in her eyes. of course, she can’t tell her that the only thing resembling sweets she remembers from her childhood is a soft piece of bread sprinkled with some sugar, precious and rare enough that she made sure to lick her fingers clean. so sae-byeok says nothing at all while reaching for a macharon, round and cream colored, hesitation and wonder whirling in her gut. you’ll love them, katiana promised — and sae-byeok hasn’t had anything for herself in so long that her fingers almost shake as they finally bring the pastry to her mouth.
the taste is sweet, but not so much her teeth ache and she can admit that it’s good. she wishes she could bring one to her brother. maybe she will slip one into her pocket later. ❛ you were right — they are good. ❜ and then she lowers her voice so it stands barely above a whisper, because apparently all it takes to lower her defences is a little kindness. ❛ my little brother would love them. ❜
IT’S A LITTLE STRANGE the way that sae-byeok handles the seeet treats as though they were cast from crystal. they were good, to be sure — the best outside of paris, as she’d said — but still nothing particularly precious. katiana had eaten almost a whole box this weekend alone. & if she decided she wanted more, she could have her driver sent to fetch another box to be delivered within an hour. & she sips from her champagne flute, wide brown eyes curiously observing the way that sae-byeok seems to savor it, taking her time to chew & swallow. ❝ well we can have a box to sent to him. especially if he hasn’t tried them before either. everyone should. ❞ & the heiress makes a mental note to ask for an extra batch the next time she sends someone down to the little bakery for something sweet. ❝ & here i didn’t even know you had a brother. what does he do ? ❞ come to think of it, katiana suddenly realizes she also knows very little about sae-byeok herself, either. though she wasn’t sure why she should cared. the other girl was really nothing more than just another of the ever rotating cast of supporting characters in the heiress’s life, bought into her orbit by her father’s obscene wealth. but there something about the way that sae-byeok held herself that seemed different from everyone else, that cast her aside from all those preening social climbers who clung to her in hopes of seizing some of her family’s clout or power for themselves. & while katiana wants to brush her instinct off, there is a part of her that is just too curious to simply let her differences slide. ❝ where did you say your family was from again ? ❞
