Everything We Didn't Expect

[StupidCupid]

"It's so neat . . . and simple." He breathed out, eyes glittering with curiosity. He wondered how she cleaned everything all the time. Or maybe she was just never messy like him. Hyun might look like such a neat and tidy person in work, but back at home, he was the biggest pig. Snapping back to his senses, he took a seat in front of her, smiling.


"Your place is just different from mine." He said.

 

[iMeisaki]

"Ah..I try to keep it clean. Just in case I move out or something. I just need it organized if any emergencies come up." She said while making the tea. "My bed is never made to tell you the truth." She giggled, adding onto her sentence before. Ji-Min liked that Director Doh had been astonished by her apartment even though it was really small. Ji-Min finished making the tea and gave to him in a nice cup, then giving him milk and sugar on the side.

 

[StupidCupid]

He took the tea, giving her a thank you. Blowing lightly on top, he took a sip, smiling. Hyun loved team it was soothing and it came in many different flavors, plus the smell was far more appealing than coffee. "At least it's just your bed," he said with a laugh. "You should see my apartment, it always looks like a hurricane blew through it!" He exclaimed, placing the cup back on the table.

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min had giggled as she sat down in front of him. "You really should clean...or at least pay someone to do it. Doesn't your girlfriend complain?" She said, being light-hearted in her speech. She had watched him drink the tea and hoped that he liked it. Ji-Min wasn't a tea drinker, she needed something stronger.

 

[StupidCupid]

Hyun shrugged, rolling his eyes. "Too much work for me, I've got no time to clean my own apartment." The words tumbling out from his lips. "And I don't want to hire someone to clean it, I'm not a little boy anymore." He stuck out his tongue at her. This happened to Hyun a lot. Tea was like a toned down alcohol for him. It calmed him down and made him talk about random stuff and do random stuff too. He frowned at the word girlfriend. "Who said anything about a girlfriend?" He asked, titling his head. "I don't have one."

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min had laughed when he was talking about not hiring someone. Then she was a little shocked when he said he didn't have a girlfriend. "You don't have one..? Why? I mean, it's just that you're pretty popular at work and your known as an upperclassmen. So I just thought that you would have one..That's all." She said, trying to explain herself.

 

[StupidCupid]

Hyun stared down at his tea, his reflection hazy. "Why?" He said, as if asking himself. "I dunno why, maybe I just couldn't find anyone. I think most people can't tolerate an idiot like me." He said with a laugh, throwing his head in the air, a grin growing on his lips. He shook his head, still laughing. "I'm not popular by all means! Yea sure, I'm an upperclassman. Other than that, I'm not special. The only girls that looked at me wanted money." He paused. "So I looked at their money too. What you want is what you get I guess."

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min nodded her head, her smile disappearing. "Director Doh, you're not an idiot. If you were...I don't think you'd be where you are today. Don't tell me that your job is something that someone else got you. Still, you do your job correctly." She responded. "Maybe the girls you're meeting..you meet in the wrong places. You have to look in others, we aren't all bad." She said, starting to smile again.

 

[StupidCupid]

Hyun was truly starting to like this girl. She was simple and innocent. As if she didn't know the bad things life held. He clasped his hands together, sighing. "You don't know much about this industry . . . or me really." He simply said. "I didn't work hard for my position. It was practically reserved just for me." He spat. "Dad is the boss you know. So it doesn't take much for me to get what I want in the company." Hyun didn't want to sound braggy, but it was the truth and he wasn't happy about it. First off, he never liked his job. Secondly, if he had the chance, he'd start from the bottom and earn his way to the top. It just didn't feel good to use his heritage as leverage.


"I know you're not bad," he said, not really analyzing his choice of words. "But it's not easy being me. I need to find a rich and powerful woman. All the rich and powerful ones I've ever seen aren't kind." He mumbled, frowning, still staring down at his cup of team now four fifths empty.

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min sighed. 'He probably thinks I'm stupid..' She thought to herself. She knew enough about the company, if she didn't know about it she wouldn't have gotten the job. "Maybe you just need to look a little harder. South Korea is pretty full of plenty single rich women. There has to be one girl that fits you." She said, getting up for water. Ji-Min then took a bottle of water and took a sip, bringing it back to the seat. "Just takes times really. You can't find the perfect someone over night." She said, being light-hearted unlike before.

 

[StupidCupid]

Hyun smirked at her, wanting to laugh. If anything, he'd been patient. He'd been looking everywhere. He's been desperate the past few years really. If he didn't find anyone, who knows what his father will set him up with now. "Yea," he whispered. "I guess so."

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min start laughing and lowered her head a little. "Why are we whispering in my own apartment..?" She whispered back, giggling as she did so. "Do you want more tea Director Doh?" She asked in a whisper again, grinning devilishly as she did so but tried being funny.

 

[StupidCupid]

He smiled, out stretching his hands, still tightly gripping the cup. "Yes please!" He exclaimed. "See, not whispering no more." He said. His eyes drifted towards his watch, shocked on how fast time passed by. Oh! Whatever! He liked her company, why can't he enjoy just for once? HBO can wait.


"Thanks for having this chat with me though," he blurted.

 

[iMeisaki]

"Why are you thanking me? You drove me home when I missed my bus. So you don't need to thank me." She said giggling. Ji-Min then took his cup and went back to the tea, heating it up again and then pouring more in the cup. "You sound like a different person when you whisper." She said laughing. Ji-Min finished filling the cup and brought it back, sitting down and handing it to him again.

 

[StupidCupid]

"No, really, thanks." He said, really genuine now. "No one would talk with me if I go back to the apartment. I think I'll just be wrapped around on my bed, binge watching Game of Thrones or something like that." He said with a laugh. He took the cup, dipping his head as a thanks, before pressing it to his lips, taking more sips.


"Well I'm a different person out of the work space," he countered. "I'm a crazy fool."

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min giggled as she heard him talking about himself. She tilted her head. "Game of Thrones..? Is that an American show?" She asked, not knowing what it was. Ji-Min never really got into anything from America except movies once and a while. She always watched shows from here, in South Korea. She tried watched a children's show once but it was too...weird for her. It was like bad acting to her.

 

[StupidCupid]

"I've known you for what? One? Two weeks? And here you are uncovering my secrets already!" He exclaimed, giving her a fake pout. "And yes, it's an American show. I speak English too you know." He's never gonna admit that he watches those Korean soap operas, the romantic comedy ones. His mother used to watch them, and now she got him addicted. Hyun would watch anything so long as the acting and writing isn't bad really.

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min was surprised and smiled. "Wow, I wanted to learn English but it just became a lost cause for me. Plus it costed too much money. I'm not going to do anything in America anyway. But that's cool that you know how to speak it and that you watch that show." She said, giggling, looking at him. Ji-Min had liked Director Doh, seeing his good side like this. He was more attractive when he acted this way.

 

[StupidCupid]

"Dad just forced me to learn it, just in chase we have any international affairs." He explained. "But I use it just to watch those English shows." He gave her a childish smile. Hyun shit another glance at his watch. Hmm, perhaps he could stay a little longer. No one a was waiting for him back there anyways. He took another sip of the team relishing the taste.

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min nodded her head. "Well, you do learn a little more English watching those shows perhaps? Does it help more?" She asked. It was starting to get dark outside Ji-Min was having a nice time with Director Doh, he seemed both professional and fun at times. She had smiled as she listened to him.

 

[StupidCupid]

He shook his head, still laughing. "Nope, but it helps pass the time. And I've got something to talk to at least." Hyun said, wondering if she'd find it weird that he'd yell and scream at the TV screen, telling the fictional characters not to die out on him. Hyun was simply a five year old trapped in the corporate body of his. He never wanted to grow up, yet he did.

 

[iMeisaki]

Ji-Min tilted her head as she laughed. "You talk to your tv? I thought I was crazy, I just make commentary and just burst out laughing watching those ridiculous game shows." She said, giggling as she looked at him.

 

[StupidCupid]

Yep, she thought that he was crazy. "Well I've got no one else better to talk to," he said, sticking out his tongue at her. "Don't judge me! I've got nothing better to do in life!" He crossed his arms over his shoulders, pouting like a little kid. He was some sort of a spoiled brat, he didn't like to be made fun of.

 

[iMeisaki]

Out of no where, she started bursting out laughing like a little kid. "I'm sorry, that's so cute." She said still laughing. "Director Doh..Why don't you go out for dinner or some drinks with your friends or co-workers? Instead of watching tv all the time. You know..you can gain wait if you do that 24/7. Then you really won't get married." She said, gasping at the thought but being dramatic of course.

 

[StupidCupid]

"Well that's simple! It's either I scare them, or they want something." He said, his childish side ebbing away. "Ji-Min, I don't have much friends. So going out like normal people just isn't what I do." He paused, thinking about the married part of her statement. Did he even bother? Nah. "I don't wanna get married anyways. Dad wants me to, not me. I don't wanna get stuck with someone nagging me to buy her another Gucci or Prada."
