A/N:  So sorry that I didn't update last week.  I was still sore and tired from my vacation.  

Side notes, first of all I am considering, at least temporarily, updating this story every week instead of every other.  I've noticed I am having difficulty remembering where I am in the story when I'm actually writing.  While I am currently posting Chapter 14, I'm writing Chapter 25.  I think it would be easier on me to close that gap a bit more, maybe try to be 5 or 6 chapters ahead instead of more than ten.  

Also, 7 more votes and this story will hit another milestone.  It will have 200 votes!!!  So, I do have the next chapter ready if/when that happens.

Side characters that appear for the first time/mentioned for the first time in this chapter plus their pronunciations.

Being with my Soulmates now felt like living within a surreal, yet whimsical, sort of dream. Or even one of those waking moments where I don't feel actually physically present for, where my mind tries to convince itself that it has to be a dream. I caught myself almost reaching for the skin above my elbow a few times with my forefinger and thumb, considering pinching myself there just to make sure I wasn't dreaming; it was one of my Soulmate's eyes straying to my own that would stop me.

Now, I'm sitting down in a seat in a large conference room about to meet the CEO and other higher ranked staff of the company. I can't help but feel grateful that it is only the two individuals, outside of my Soulmates, in the room with me. I take a deep breath and assess how I am feeling. This still feels like a dreamlike moment, but it is making me more apprehensive and uncomfortable than it is giddy. Once again I know I am present in the real world, but it doesn't feel like I am really present or a part of it, but I take a deep breath and tell myself to pretend like this is a job interview. Be business appropriate with these strange men around you. You can do this!

After the introductions were made, I knew there was no way I would be able to remember all the names of the people I was introduced to right away. For some reason though, I latched on to the name of the Vice President, Lee Chiwon right away. It's probably because, no matter how odd it seems, Lee Chiwon strikes me as strangely familiar. The urge to speak up and ask him directly about it tickles my mind, however I also don't want to set off any alarms with the head people of the company that might end up having them thinking that I might be irrational, or worse yet crazy. So, I don't say anything. If I can come up with the reason he looks familiar to me on my own then I will ask him about it later.
