Investment banking AU. Sehun is the new intern in Jongin and Kyungsoo's group.
When illusions don't matter as long as the results are real.

( Jongin had never planned on going into investment banking when he was younger, but it's the exit path with least resistance when you run with a high-achieving social group in school and have no interest in going into medicine or law. )

fic, exo

NONSENSE. I love corporate!AUs, and I'm going to pretend I know something about investment banking just because i took one semester of accounting 8D

it's the exit path with least resistance when you run with a high-achieving social group in school and have no interest in going into medicine or law.

or engineering ;~;

"Nepotism destroyed weaker empires than us, you know," he says solemnly.

WHAT ARE THESE BIG WORDS COMING OUT OF YOU, KIM JONGIN?? Still being mean to Suho, i c

so they can make a detailed list of his professional goals for the summer.

I want to share my professional and personal and possibly love life goals with you, kyungsoo!!

"Usually just the people in it," Lu Han replies cheerfully. "And there was an event at Bryant Park."

Lies!! Lu Han probably just wanted to go to Kino where he can spazz over DBSK and read shoujo manga

"We went to prep school together," Jongin grouses. "Years ago, though. I barely remember him."

"You saw me last week," Lu Han chides, serenely bypassing the snub.

Oh the unresolved tension between lukai. And!

this is exactly the type of place that Jongin always sees Lu Han checking into on Foursquare (which he only tracks so he knows where to avoid)

I WANT TO TRACK LU HAN ON FOURSQUARE, TOO.

oh my god Zitao complaining about logo sizes and Kyungsoo whipping out a ruler and ofc Wu Fan has better things to do. Of course. The open-ended ness of this piece is my favorite thing about it-- Lu Han's questionable interest in Sehun, the fact that Jongin and Lu Han are still at a stalemate, and Jongin looking for validation for his own profession.

BUT YES. This was really interesting to read. You really know your investment banking stuff :OO

thank you for the lovely comment! I honestly only have a v. superficial knowledge of actual ibanking, but I used to spend a lot of time with analysts, and over half the dialogue/scenes from this fic are directly lifted from conversations I've had/heard irl. like the part where they're bickering over logo sizes and someone blows up the document to 400% to get exact measurements? ...totally a true story, orz.

anyway, I'm glad you liked it!! ♥
