Everything We Didn't Expect

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min nodded her head and then bowed, leaving the room and closing the door behind her. She then brought her coffee and walked back to her cubicle and waited to have more worked served to her. However, it felt as if today would be rather slow than fast. Considering everyone's mood. Ji-Min then sat back down and started talking to her new friend and introducing herself a little more.

Like any other day, this would pass by uneventful. Sometimes, this was a good thing. Because no news was better than bad news, but worse than good news. It was like the free parking slot in the monopoly game. Nothing really happens. He continued with his work, signing papers, typing things onto the laptop, arranging appointments and the like.


The newbie that talked to Ji-Min a while ago eyed her with curiosity, wondering why out of all the people, did Hyun-Ki pick her. Call it jealousy, but this newbie wanted to be seen as a good worker by the higher ups.

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min had glanced over a few times, seeing another new girl staring at her like she was angered. However, Ji-Min looked away, thinking that this girl was mad at something else rather than her. She kept talking to her friend until the man was done with his work. Then they all started chatting but kept it as a some-what loud whisper. She found out that the girl was named: Lee Taeyang and the man was named: Oh Jong-Hwa.

 

[StupidCupid]

('Twas too lazy to actually give them names...thanks for picking those out!)


It was almost the end of the work day. Hyun heaved himself up from his chair, walking over towards the department, hands behind his back as he did his last rounds for the day. He gathered everyone he could possibly find. "Everyone! Can you all gather in the middle please!" He called out, voice ringing through the whole room.


He watched as some of the workers dropped whatever they were doing to stop and listen to him. He didn't wait for everyone to go focus their attention to him though.


"Arrive early tomorrow, all of us have a meeting together. Us and the other departments. We need to give them a stat update."

 

[iMeisaki]

(Haha it's alright! Had to think about them for a moment)


Ji-Min had stopped talking with her friends and listened to what Director Doh was saying. She then nodded her head, like the rest of the workers and had fixed her alarm clock to wake up for tomorrow. She then saw that he had stopped talking, figuring that it was time to go home by now. She then grabbed her items and started walking out with Jung-Hwa and Taeyang.

 

[StupidCupid]

With a last nod, he dismissed everyone, waving his hand in the air. He walked out of the apartment, slipping into an elevator, pressing the lobby button. Hyun stood there in silence, waiting for the elevator doors to open towards the lobby. Once he got out, he looked around, seeing people of different ages, heights and appearances racing to get back home. With a sigh, he melded with all the other rushing bodies.


Must it be like this everyday? The same old routine. Get to work, work, get back home, rest, rinse and repeat. He needed a change in his life. Messing up his hair (a hobby he keeps on doing lately), he made his way to the outside of the building.

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min had been talking to her new friends for a while now but they had to leave. Ji-Min was going to follow them but realized that her bus left! "Oh...no..!! What to do.." She sighed to herself, upset and mad at herself that she didn't realize how long she had been talking. "Time flies when you have fun.." She said in almost a whine. She was mad now, she'd have to wait for another bus and that would be a whole hour! Ji-Min plooped down on the bench and leaned back with a pain expression painted on her face.

 

[StupidCupid]

Hyun easily spotted Ji-Min, sitting there and looking deflated. She seemed to easily fit in with the other workers. He was glad really, at least she found friends. He couldn't, he didn't really consider the other managers as friends. More like rivals for the position as boss. His father did tell him that even though he was his son, it didn't mean that he'd end up inheriting the whole thing. That someone more capable might stumble in. So the toner managers and higher ups would always keep an eye and watch for him to screw up. Always.


He walked over towards Ji-Min, sitting down on the very same bench. Hyun didn't need to go home early anyways, he might just end up rewatching The Avengers.


"Now, why does Ji-Min look so lost?" He said, looking straight ahead and not at her.

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min had looked up from her lap and over to Director Doh. She was surprised. 'How do we always meet...?!' She thought to herself. However, she answered his question with a lot of hesitation. "Ah...I was talking and having fun with my new co-workers...that I didn't realize I missed my bus.. Now I have to wait for another hour.." She sighed. Ji-Min then looked over at him. "Director Doh... why are you here? I've never seen you on the bus...?" She said, thinking if she really had or not.

 

[StupidCupid]

He nodded, as if understanding her problem. However, he truly didn't. He was never placed in situations like these. His home was just a block away, and if he needed to go somewhere else, he's got a car. But the only things that floated in his mind was the warning he gave her. He remembered vividly that he told her not to do anything stupid. This fell under the stupid category in his opinion.


"Well, I don't want your mother to worry," said Hyun, already standing up, brushing the wrinkles from his pants. "I'm here because I saw you looking like a dog that lost it's bone." He answered a matter of factly. "Now, why don't I give you a ride." He offered, he had his own car, and besides it wasn't that far to go fetch it.

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min looked over at Director Doh. "I don't live with my mother...she's just very close to me in relationship wise.." She said. She then stood up and looked at him. "Y-You would give me a ride..? Why..?" She asked, looking at him. Ji-Min was a bit shocked, seeing that he would do this. Was he kind..? Or was it something he just..did..?

 

[StupidCupid]

Hyun looked at her, frowning. "Well then, at least you won't get hold up for another hour just sitting on that bench." He said. "Now, will you accept my offer? You've got nothing to loose! I'm not gonna do anything bad you know." He continued, hoping that she won't worry.


"Why?" He muttered, scratching his chin, as if he had a beard. "Because I felt like it!" He said simply, smiling.

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min quickly nodded her head. "Yes..I accept!" She said, looking up at him with a small smile. She then turned around, grabbing her bag from the bench and looking back at him. "I'll follow you... Lead the way." She said, giving a small grin.

 

[StupidCupid]

"I've got nothing better to do anyways." He said through a smile. "It gives me an excuse not to do work," he turned around and winked at her. "My home isn't that far away from work, so I don't use my car." Hyun explained, finally reaching the towering building. Just like any other in that rich part of town, it stood tall and proud.


"Wait here, I'll go fetch it," he didn't wait for a reply, already dashing towards the parking lot. It only took him a matter of minutes to get his car and reach Ji-Min. Lowering the car window, he grinned at her. "Get in!"

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min smiled, listening to him as he spoke and explained why he was simply doing this. "I'm going to save up for a car..!" She said, excited about her thought. She then nodded and waited for him to get the car. Once he brought the car over, she went inside and put the seatbelt on over her. She looked over at Director Doh and told him the address. "It's far when you take a bus but only 15 minutes away with a car that doesn't stop at bus stops." She said smiling.

 

[StupidCupid]

Hyun frowned, his grip on the steering wheel hardening. "Daw," he murmured. "I won't be able to kill that much time then." Waving his hand in the air, he hit the gas pedal, speeding ahead. "It'll be ten minutes if there's no traffic. Six or seven if I speed up like a maniac."


And as if his calculations were right, they arrived there in ten minutes. Hyun took off his seatbelt, got out of the car and walked over to the other side of the silver car. He opened the door for her, his black hair falling over his eyes.


"Welp," he glanced at the house. "Welcome home."

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min got out of the car, impressed by his great timing. She then got out of the car and bowed as a thank you. "Thank you for driving me...Would you like to come inside..? I have coffee..tea..I can make something if you're hungry. It would be a thank you for the car ride." She said, looking up at him. Ji-Min then took her bag and waited to see if he had an answer.

 

[StupidCupid]

He grinned, nodding as an answer. "Tea would be nice." He said. "No coffee, I hate coffee." Hyun shot a glance at the home once again. It wasn't and was like his home. They were both apartments, but he doubted that they both had the same feel. He expected that hers would be all pink or have stuff toys laying around everywhere. While his was just a messy pig's den with a few expensive appliances hanging around here and there.


"So, shall we?" He asked, wondering when they could get in the house.

 

[iMeisaki]

(She has an apartment haha)

 

[StupidCupid]

(It was an apartment? Oh the lols! Then I'll edit that! Wait a second! *facepalms* this is what I get for role playing while I'm still half asleep.)

 

[iMeisaki]

(It's alright xD It's all cool)

 

[StupidCupid]

(Fixed! Aish! Lemme go finish my breakfast and milk, then I'll be finally wide awake)

 

[iMeisaki]

(Okay have fun eating )


 
Ji-Min nodded her head. "All right. Tea it is." She said. Ji-Min had motioned for him to follow her as she started walking to her apartment. Ji-Min didn't have much in her apartment. It was clean and only her bedroom had a toy from her childhood. Once they walked in, the apartment had been decorated with paper lanterns by the wall that were electronic. The walls had been light yellow and it was white tile once you walked in. There were rugs by the couch and by the step once you entered.

(Has the floor plan like these two but the tiles and walls are different)

 

[StupidCupid]

(Okie dokie!)


Hyun walked in, mouth hanging ajar. It was nothing close to what he expected. The apartment didn't boast anything terribly bright or eye catching, it was simple and neat. Clean, unlike his apartment. "Woa," he whispered softly.

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min had looked over at Director Doh. "Whoa what? Sit." She pointed, heading to the kitchen as she put on slippers and walked closer to it. She then got ready to make tea for him.
