Everything We Didn't Expect

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min had continued working until she was interrupted by Taeyang and Yung-Hwa. "Hey guys, good-morning." She said, rolling back around as she continued to type again. "Hey, you're a busy bee." Yung-Hwa said, chuckling to himself. Taeyang nodded her head. "So are you calm now around the boss?" She asked. Ji-Min nodded her head. "Not my responsibility. Not my business." She said calmly. "That's right, good girl." She said laughing as she sat down.

 

[StupidCupid]

One of the many curious co workers of Ji-Min scooted closer to the group of friends. It had been circulating ever since the day before, but when Doh Hyun-Ki seemed to have dismissed everything so harshly, she thought something suspicious was brewing up.


"But what exactly were you and Director Doh been doing?" She quipped, inching closer to them. "A few coworkers saw you two sitting next to each other on a bench."


(Let's just assume Hyun is working already )

 

[iMeisaki]

(Okay xD )


Ji-Min tilted her head, getting a little frustrated that this didn't pass by already. "We were sitting next to each other, we were yelling because I was mad at him." She said, not wanting to give more details so people won't know that he was lazy.

 

[StupidCupid]

She curious worker shook her head, giggling. "No, not that!" She exclaimed, swatting her hand carelessly around in the air. Strands of hair falling around her face. "Silly Ji-Min! I wasn't referring to that. Some other workers saw you sitting on a bench with him, waiting for a bus or something. As far as we all know, Director Doh doesn't take the bus." She stopped there, not mentioning that a few others also saw him take her into his car. She didn't want to further sound like a snoop, she was just really curious. Anything that involved the higher ups, was useful information, right?

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min laughed a little as her co-worker was being too ridiculous. "Oh the bus stop. Yes, I had yelled at him then about the same matter, but I did miss my bus. I had to finish up a lot of work for him actually and needed to get home." She said in a lie. Ji-Min was good at lying but she was getting frustrated at this girl's behavior and how she was so nosy. Then again, Ji-Min was nosy.

 

[StupidCupid]

Satisfied with her answers, she crinkled her nose and shuffled back into place, still wondering how they were so close. Either that, or they were really big on coincidences. A lot of coincidences. With a sigh, she finally shut up.

Hyun sat silently in his office, fingers drumming the rim of his table, tapping a soundtrack of some movie he watched. He couldn't really focus that well. His hair, clipped up with the same tacky clip he used the other night. His clothes wrinkled and a small yellow stain sat on his white shirt, from the butter of his toast that morning. Yes, he wasn't the best sight in the world.


"What to do," he muttered, finding it odd that he finished work so quickly.

 

[iMeisaki]

"That was weird." Taeyang whispered while Yung-Hwa looked over to see if the coast was clear. Ji-Min nodded, "I know, I guess she's just trying to get him in trouble since he's hanging out with a girl instead of his pre-made dated. Slowly, she rolled back around and continued to type again. Maybe she'll talk to Hyun about this.

 

[StupidCupid]

With a sigh, Hyun pushed himself up from his chair and marched towards the door, flinging it open, and getting out of his stuffy office. Work was either a bore or a chore. There was no in between.


Frustrated, he made his way towards the cafeteria to get himself some of there orange juice he asked Ji-Min to get him last time. Once he had his juice, he did his rounds once again, hoping that something eventful might happen. Pressing the beverage onto his lips, he scanned the area, eyes locked on Ji-Min and her friends.

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min had sighed. "I need coffee. That put stress on me..." She said getting up as she headed to the cafeteria. She passed by Hyun but didn't want to say anything yet. Ji-Min tried not to be bothered by her body co-worker.

 

[StupidCupid]

Hyun frowned, watching her go. Did he do something again? He always seemed to do that without meaning to. He sighed, sipping from his juice once again, slowing his pace as he walked around the cubicles. The odd thing was, it felt like he was being watched. Be it the snooping workers or Ji-Min's friends, it was as if they were waiting for him to do something. With a shrug, he continued around, acting as if he didn't noticed anything.

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min sighed to herself. Only another day till it's the day off. She thought to herself. She then made her way down to the cafeteria and poured herself a cup of coffee.


(Sorry I kinda skipped a few days. Hehe don't slap me)

 

[StupidCupid]

(I actually wanted to skip dem days...they're dragging too long x.x WAI MUST YOU TWO BE SO DIFFICULT sfdfdafadf)


Just like the few others days, Hyun found himself buying the same orange juice and making his rounds. This time, the workers in his department were used to it. Him roaming around, sipping juice with his hair still pinned up. He'd decided that it was simply too long to let it stay down. So he insisted on pinning it up, clipping it, and even using tacky headbands. Whatever the reason, he wasn't going to cut his hair.


Hyun approached the group of girls that Ji-Min usually spoke to. Leaning onto a side of the cubicle, he began to speak. "Do any of you have any idea why Ji-Min's avoiding me?" He asked with a pout.

 

[iMeisaki]

Taeyang looked at Yung-Hwa surprised. Yung-Hwa decided to speak up. "Ah...a co-worker came up to her the other day saying that she saw you two sitting at a bench talking. They were suspicious but Ji-Min was bothered by it. She didn't like how she was getting accused of something." He said, uneasy about his answer.

 

[StupidCupid]

Hyun burst end in a fit of laughter, leading to a few awkward glances from some of the busy workers. He shook his head, apologizing for his sudden outburst. He took another sip of his juice, still grinning. "No, I was just helping her." He stated. "She needed a ride, so I gave her one." Hyun paused, choosing his words carefully. He didn't want to say anything about him staying a bit too long in her home. So instead, he settled with something else. "I'm not that mean," was what he said instead of the further events. "I can be nice."


And with that, the assumptions vanished, the nearby workers heard, then told the others, and soon everyone knew that it was just the director trying to be nice. Hyun was quite satisfied really. He saved both their butts, and even got a good rep.

 

[iMeisaki]

Taeyang and Yung-Hwa nodded. "That's what she told us too. She just got bothered by having to be asked. She doesn't like the twenty questions game." She said. Yung-Hwa agreed by nodding his head.

 

[StupidCupid]

"I don't really mind," he said, waving his free hand in the air. "They can interrogate me as much as they want, people have been barking at me for the longest time already! I think I can handle the fake paparazzi," he said with a wink. Ji-Min was the one who said he needed more friends. Hyun felt like he found a few with the friends Ji-Min already had. All the good things that lady brought him! Well, the bad was there too, but he liked to overlook that.

 

[iMeisaki]

(Should we skip a couple months or weeks? Or just keep it here? ^^)


Ji-Min had sat a bench, sighing to herself about the thought of getting herself or Hyun in trouble. She sipped her coffee as she looked out the window again, closing her eyes slightly.

 

[StupidCupid]

(Skip? Idk, totally up to you. I gtg soon though, almost bed time.)


Hyun wondered what took her so long to come back. With a sigh, he dismissed himself from the group of friends and went back to his office to finish the rest of his drink.

 

[iMeisaki]

(Okay, we can stay here. Was only asking you.)


Ji-Min finally finished her drink and looked at the time on her phone. "Almost over...work is almost over." She said, throwing the cup away and heading upstairs. She then made it back to get cubicle.

 

[StupidCupid]

(Sorry I'm late! My wifi stopped working, so I had to wait for my uncle to fix it. But if you really wanna skip, then go nuts. I really can't think of us just role playing each and every single day for them. Wanna make an obstacle go through or something?)

 

[iMeisaki]

(It's alright! We all have some problems at some point. I understand about not doing day by day between them, I just don't want them to be together yet if we do skip. Hmm... I don't really know.)

 

[StupidCupid]

(Of I course we can't just instantly skip to them as a couple! Hmm, how bout we skip to something else. How bout Hyun's secretary [assuming he has one] quits because of something and he needs someone to fill in.)

 

[iMeisaki]

(Ooh!! I really like that idea! Yes!)

 

[StupidCupid]

(Oki then! I'll fast forward a month or two)


It's been two months, give or take. Hyun didn't really bother to remember anymore. His activities with Ji-Min were still the same. He'd patrol around, chat with her once in a while. Stuff like that. But now, well, he's come to a risky decision. With his old secretary getting fired because if a tiny slip up with his father, he was forced to go find a new one. He truly loved his secretary. She was a kind woman in her fifties that would cover up all his stupid mistakes and the like. Now where could he find someone like that? Well, that's what he asked himself the day before, when he still didn't have the answer.


But now, he sat in front of Ji-Min, hands on his lap, smiling sheepishly. "Can I ask you for a favor, Ji-Min?" He asked, voice so soft he doubted that she'd heard anything.

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min had been doing great for the past couple of months. She and her friends have been closer to each other. Her and Hyun have been friends but fought every once and a while. However, they were friends. Today as Ji-Min was working, she was called into Hyun's office. She walked in side and saw him sitting in a good posture. She sat down in front of him and heard what he asked her. She nodded her head. "Y-Yes..." She said, a little nervous about his question.
