	   "<It's nice to be out of that office.>" said Prime Minister Kang Seo Yeon as he walked along his garden with Kuk Yi, one of Yeon's most trusted advisors. "<I agree with you. The weather is too perfect to be stuck inside that office.>" Yi replied as she took a seat on one of the wooden breaches, setting her bag aside her. The Prime Minister smiled at the response as she also sat along her friend and asked her, "<So, what do you have to show me this time?>". 

Yi laughed at the question and smirked as she tried to stop laughing so loud. "<You just had to ask that, didn't you?>" she said as she reached for her bag and opened it up. The bag had a dark red leather body with top zipper and water-repellent, durable nylon lining. Inside, a separate, padded pocket with a hook-and-loop closure protects your computer while allowing room for files or other reading material; two mesh zipper pockets prevent small items from getting lost in the bottom of the bag. Exterior pockets keep travel or commuting essentials close at hand. She reached into her bag and pull out a couple pieces of paper, with the words "Classified" on them in bold red.

"<What's this about?>" Yeon questioned as she looked at the papers when she was handed them by her advisor. "<It's a letter sent by the Japanese Government, asking from South Korea to join the Asian-Pacific Partnership for Peace pact among with several nations.>" the advisor said to her friends as she tried to remember the details of the paper, "<A letter was sent by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, requesting us to join. The other nations might be joining the pact are Australia, The Philippines and The United States.>".

Yeon listened to her friend as she was reading the letter to herself and the little detail on the APPP. She grinned as soon as she heard that the US 'might join the pact'. She thought that the whole thing was another way of getting Japan powerful enough to face off against China, Russia, and North Korea. And she also thought that it was another way from America to get their hands tight around Asia. However, America is a strong ally to have against North Korea and China. As for Japan, that's another story.

Yi kept speaking about China’s aggressive persuasion of claims in the South China Sea and how it's related to the pact. "<Yeon, how do you wish to process with this pact?>" she finished, her long speech and looked at her bag for some tissues. Yeon got back into the real world and said to her, "<Any suggestions?>".

After getting some tissues from her bag, she blew her nose with it and threw it in the trash can near her. "<Personally, I wouldn't join this pact. We don't know anything about the pact and we don't really have any reason to join. Other than the threat up north.>" Yi said to her after thinking about the question for a minute as she was blowing her nose. 

Yeon gave her decision a great through as she tried to piece together the pros and cons for her decisions. And she finally says to her advisor, "<I am not going to join the pact. Inform the President and the State Council about the pact. I have to write my reason behind the decision to Abe, I am such that it would upset him a whole lot.>". She stool up from the bench and put down the papers next to Yi as she begun to walk away. Yi grabbed the papers and said to her, "<I shall. Thank you for spending time with me.>".

Yeon turned around as she said to Yi, "<I forgot about the papers. Make such that they are 'destroyed'. Our allies wouldn't like it if the pact was discovered so early.>". After Yeon was done talking to Yi, she walked away to her office. She has a letter to write.[hr][hider=Letter to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe]
	Prime Minister Shinzo Abe,
	   Thank you from sending us the letter, requesting us to attend the Asian-Pacific Security Summit. However, we must decline the request as tensions up north aren't getting better. North Korea and China are breathing down my country's neck, more so this year than any other year since the aftermath of The Korean War. Unlike your country and America's, we don't have the luck of being away from the threat (of course, there's the naval threat; but, you won't have to face the forces of these countries).

As for the partnership, we also have to decline that offer as well. Again, the threat is just too much to do any bold move. Especially, signing a defensive military pact because of China's claims in the South China Sea. North Korea might view the pact as a threat and attack my country. I have to protect my people and their country as well.

	- Prime Minister Kang Seo Yeon.[/hider]
[hider=Letter to President Barack Obama]
	President Barack Obama,
	   I have deep concerns about Japan and the Asian-Pacific Security Summit (since your nation is always somehow involved with actions like this). We don't need to start worrying China and North Korea to the point, where they are signing a pact of their own with each other or even Russia. And we don't need another Cold War to happen as the last one almost ended our world. 

My country isn't going to a part of the summit unless China and other nations in the Pacific are also invited. The summit is after all, called the '[b]Asaian-Pacific[/b] Security Summit. I understand our relationship and how it's important for you have another influence in Asia (besides Japan); however, we are already dealing with North Korea and China next door. Unlike your country, we can't just do things carelessly. If our country did that, we would of been gone a long time ago.

I hope that you ask Japan to invite more countries within the Pacific to come to the summit, since you have more influence on Japan than us. They are living in the same planet as we are, Mister President.

	- Prime Minister Kang Seo Yeon.[/hider]
