Everything We Didn't Expect

[StupidCupid]

Hyun watched his new secretary enter, already looking as if she was comfortable in her new table. He frowned, noticing her weak limbs and tired expression. He scratched the back of his neck and scowled. "I told her to rest . . ." He muttered to himself, thinking it was his fault she looked so tired.

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min had stretched her arms and yawned. Then continued to work on the papers. She didn't want to look at Hyun, just in case he was looking at her. It would feel awkward especially after last night. However, Ji-Min shook her head, trying to push the memory out of her head about the kiss. It wasn't even important.

 

[StupidCupid]

In Hyun's eyes, all he could see was her tired. His frown was on for the whole day, but went seemingly unnoticed. Finally, just before the beginning of lunch, he stood up and walked towards Ji-Min. "Did you get any good sleep last night?" He asked, voice full of worry. Aish! This girl! Making him worry once again. Since when did he worry?

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min had finished the first round of papers before lunch time. She stood up when Hyun came up to her. "Oh-Ah yes I did Director Doh. Th-thanks again for the ride." She said, looking up at him. "I finished the papers for you, so everything is on track now." She said with a small smile.

 

[StupidCupid]

Hyun raised an eyebrow at her, not buying the story. Whatever left her lips clearly said wrong about her body as she did look weak. "Yea, right." He muttered, walking over towards the cafeteria to grab his daily fix of juice and pasta.

 

[iMeisaki]

Once Hyun was out of sight, Ji-Min used her palm and smacked her forehead. "Idiot..why did you lie when he could clearly tell you're sleepy..." She said, sighing as she sat back in the seat. She wasn't ready to eat, maybe she could make it up to Hyun by working harder for him.

 

[StupidCupid]

Hyun came back with a paper plate full of pasta and a plastic cup filled with juice. He set them on his table, shooting Ji-Min a glance. "First she won't sleep, now she doesn't want to eat." He muttered. "Does that girl want to die?" With a sigh, he went to the cafeteria a second time, grabbing the coffee he oh so hated and whatever main course he could get his hands on. He went back up, placing the food onto her table. "I said be my secretary." He stated. "Not starve yourself or make yourself sleep deprived."

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min looked up. "S-Sorry.. But I'm really not tired. Plus I'll eat later. I really do love working Director Hyun... I just want to make you proud really and also so you won't have to worry about problems." She said, scratching the back of her neck as she looked up at him, afraid that he'd be mad at her. Slowly, she brought her hand down to the coffee and took a sip of it. "Thank you." She said.

 

[StupidCupid]

His gaze softened, the corner of his lips forming a slight smile. "You don't need to overwork yourself. I'm not gonna kill you if you don't do extremely well." He ruffled her hair and made his way back to his office. Plopping down on his large chair and taking a sip of his juice. He went back to hitting the keys on the laptop.

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min had laughed as she fixed her hair. "Don't worry, I won't die. I like working hard." She said, sipping more of the coffee and starting to fill more papers out, overlooking each of the pages.

 

[StupidCupid]

Hyun rolled his eyes at the naive secretary. "Don't say things you'll later regret." He whispered to himself before finishing the last invoice, only to find that he had yet other things to do. He sighed and scratched his head, already tired from work. Hadn't he done enough already?

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min continued working, she kept drinking the coffee. However, the one thing she wished was to be with her friends. She was happy that they got promotions however, she wanted to be close to their offices.

 

[StupidCupid]

Hyun finished the last of his work. It was almost time to go home by the time he was done. He stood up and stretched sighing. He made his way out of the office, passing by Ji-Min. He couldn't put his finger onto it, but something was clearly bothering her. He simply shrugged it off, not wanting to be part of her life dramas. He went around his department, doing his rounds one last time. Passing by Ji-Min's old table, now being used by someone else. The newbie stared up at him with scared, wide eyes. He shook his head, telling himself to walk on ahead, to stop thinking the girl that clouded his mind.

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min had checked the time. It was almost time to leave and she finished up the work she had. Quickly, she grabbed her things and headed over to Taeyang's department. She smiled as she chatted with her. Suddenly, Yung-Hwa had joined in on the conversation and the trio and joined each other again. Ji-Min was laughing with her friends while they all waited for work to end. They decided to eat after work. Ji-Min would go home with Taeyang since she had a car. Ji-Min didn't want to bother Hyun to drive her again after yesterday.

 

[StupidCupid]

Hyun reached his office to see Ji-Min gone. Good. At least the distractions weren't there anymore. He packs his stuff and headed home, not even bothering to bat an eyelash when she did pass by Ji-Min and her friends on the way out. He already promised himself he wouldn't get involved. And from the looks of it, Ji-Min looked like she wanted friends, female friends. Last he checked, he wasn't female. He made his way home, doing the usual. Opening the television, making tea, flipping the laptop open, opening the air conditioner. Just like any other day. Rinse, wash and repeat.

 

[iMeisaki]

(Yung-Hwa is a guy btw xD )


Ji-Min, Yung-Hwa, and Taeyang all went towards the restaurant once everything was over. They made a toast to their promotions and also for happy lives. They were all happy and they talked for a while. Plus, they had a lot of Soju. Ji-Min wasn't very good with alcohol but liked having it when she celebrated. However, she had a little too much to drink. They all, had a little too much to drink.

 

[StupidCupid]

(Hyun considers him a girl...because he talks with girls and hangs out with girls...Hyun can be very judgemental. Derp)


Hyun fell asleep early that day. Earlier than usual really. And once again, he left the laptop and television open, his tea half finished, blankets wrapped in odd shapes around him. His body stretched out like some starfish. He was exhausted.

 

[iMeisaki]

(Ohhh okay. I kinda thought so after I sent it, my bad. xD ah I love Hyun. Btw, Yung-Hwa and Taeyang may or may not be together haha)


Since everyone was so wasted, they all had to take cabs. Plus some of their co-workers saw them after work... Hopefully that won't come back to bite them. Once the cabs arrived, they all went inside and got dropped off one by one. Ji-Min had been the last one. She finally arrived to her apartment. Walking weirdly, she finally made her way up to her apartment and crashed on the couch. Ah..she was a mess, if she had a husband, he'd yell at her.

 

[StupidCupid]

(Shhh! Don't say that! The more he hears that people love him, the bigger his ego gets O.o just when I finally softened him up a little. And also, oooo! Second leads are gonna have more action than the first leads I bet. Since both Hyun and Ji-Min are dumb in love.)


Hyun woke up in the middle of the night, not able to sleep. Maybe it was the abundance of tea he drank or maybe there was a lot of things in his mind. He didn't know anymore. He brushed the bangs away from his face, looking at the television, still open. Some random variety show blasted through the screen with some idols, actors and other famous celebrities doing stupid things. He rolled his eyes, never getting why they'd do that. He simply guessed that they were desperate for attention. He flipped through the channels, eventually stopping at a music channel. Playing a slow ballad song about love. He closed his eyes, just sitting in the middle of the bed, trying to sleep. "Everything's gonna be okay," he whispered.

 

[iMeisaki]

(Haha yes. I'd play Yung-Hwa since he's so goofy and just reckless haha. But I'm going to skip to morning.)


Ji-Min had woken up with the worst hangover ever. She had barely been able to lift herself from the couch. Her eyes were almost bloodshot and her hair was a mess. Quickly but lazily, she got ready looking semi-decent. She had taken water and an alka-seltzer in her drink to calm her headache. "Ah...idiot...why did you drink so much. Aish, I hope Taeyang and Yung-Hwa are alright... I can barely remember what happened yesterday." She said to herself while heading on the bus. Ji-Min arrived on time and sat down in the office with more water and alka-seltzer. She kept drinking it to help soothe her headache. It was hard to concentrate but she would have to work hard.

 

[StupidCupid]

Hyun entered about the same time as Ji-Min did. He was groomed well today. Wearing a new suit, and for the first time in forever, the long unruly hair was gelled up. He looked new and polished. Unlike hi secretary who looked like she got hit by a bus. He gave her a disgusted look, placing a hand on her arm. He inched closer to her, arms touching. "Why the hell do you look like a mess?!" He snapped, already regretting himself the night before, when he said everything would be okay. This wasn't okay. This was horrific.

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min cringed and lowered her head into the desk. "What to do..." She whined to herself. "Don't be so loud Director Doh, it hurts my headache..." She said, holding her ears. Hyun was scary when he yelled. She was afraid of telling him what happened when he acted like this. Besides, she would be taking care of the work she had.

 

[StupidCupid]

Hyun's eyes grew wider as he sniffed her, making yet another disgusted face. "You drank didn't you," he whisper-hissed. He grabbed her hand and dragged her all the way to his office. "Now I can't bare to see my secretary looking like some beggar," he muttered. He grabbed his phone and started calling people, not giving Ji-Min any say into it. Once he dropped the phone, he grinned cheekily at her. "Hyun is going to give you a makeover."

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min shook her head. "No... Director Hyun..! Don't please.. I don't or need one, it's not like I'm impressing anyone..." She muttered the last sentence. "I'm too tired for a makeover...My head hurts..!" She whined back at him, pleading to not get a makeover. Besides, it was only work, not like a dance or formal or something like that.

 

[StupidCupid]

"Well I'm tired of looking at a zombie every time I leave my office," he countered. The door to his office swung open, an unfamiliar lady walking in. She was no designer, just a worker in the office. But she pushed a trolley full of suits. "And besides, it's not like I'm gonna actually make them apply makeup and fix your hair. I just called for some clothes." He looked at the suit she wore, down to her shoes. "Because I know you need better." He picked a blazer and pencil skirt, with a matching white blouse, shoving it into her arms. "Try it."
